ISLAND OF CYPRUS
Once Covered With Forest Now Al
most Barren of Trees.

Washington, y. c., Nov. 3-"CN
prus is one of the most important is
lands in the Mediterranean says a
bulletin given out recently by the Ma
tional Geographical society, which de-
scribes England's reported offer to
the Greeks for their aid in the world
war There are just two islands in
the broad inland sea larger than Cy-
prus, and these are Sicily and Sardin-
ia. There are few island in the
world more rich in historical associa-
tons, and none probably, more coyet-
ed by powerful neighbors.
"The island lies in the mouth Of
pocket formed by Asia Minor and
Syria at the northeastern end of the
Mediterranean, being about equally
distant from the mainland to the
north and to the east 1t has an area
of 1854 square miles, or is as large
as the states of Delaware and Rhode
Island combined. It greatest length
is 141 miles and its greatest width is
60 miles while its average width is
more than 35 miles. A great part of
the island is taken up by two mount
ain ranges, one of which fills much
of the southern and central part and
the other which stretches along the
northern coast.
The coast OF Asia Minor lies 46
miles to the north, and that of Syria
between so and GO miles to the east.
Although nominally a possession of
the Ottoman empire up until the out
break of hostilities between the
Turks and the allies, Cyprus has been
administered by Great Britain since
1873, and now forms an integral part
of the British empire. English occu-
patton has done much to improve the
conditions of the health on the island
rs i las been stimulus to its com
nercial development.
The mountains of the island are
wild and beautiful, and upon their
sides the forests are still growing
that were famed and priced in early
Egyptian times They also contain
the mines of copper celebrated
among the ancients and still richly
productive. The highest altitude is
attained at Mount Troodes with
summit 6406 feet above sea level.
"A wide valley runs, east and west,
the central part of the island.
This valley is about GO miles long,
with breadth varying from 10 to 20
miles The mountain ranges on eth
er side send their waters to the val
ley through intermittent torrents.
Much of this lowland is uncultivated,
though in the northern part grain is
grown. The soil of the whole valley
is good, and there is no reason why
the uncertain water supply might
not be supplemented, bringing all of
the land under cultivation. In the
days when western civilization was
in it's swaddling clothes, Cprus was
widely known for its impossible for
ests, which not only clothed the
sides and SUBMITS of its mountains
with thick, dark masses of its green,
but which oyergrew the whole floor
of the valley between which such an
interlacing sturdy tangle of trees and
underbrush, that it was difficult to
clear the land for cultivation.
"The wonderful forests of the land

ANOTHER COAL STRIKE In
COLORADO IS PSEDICTION
Dr. Walter Morritt, Head of Colorado
Springs Hospital, Says Men Will
Demand Union.

From The Denver Times Final Extra,
Oct. 20, l9l5.)
Colorado Springs, Oct. 2O.-Another
strike in the Colorado coal camps-this
time only for the recognition OF the
union-after' the miners have had an
opportunity to thoroly organize under
the protection of the new Rockefeller
industrial plan, is not at all impossible
or unlikely, in the opinion of DR.. Walter
Morritt, superintendent of Bethel hos
pital, who spoke before the FL Paso
County Ministerial association on the
sociological work of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company.
Speaking of the vote of acceptance of
the Rockefeller plan Dr., Morritt said:
"The men have been out for year
and are in no condition to object had
they the desire. There is n belief, how
ever, in the minds OF some who are
II miliar with the facts that the men
are yielding because the new plan gives
them that which they long have sought
namely, the right TO organize and be-
long to the union 1t is not impossible
that when the men are thoroly organized
(which the company has agreed not to
preventl, and their treasury replenished,
there will be another strike for recogni-
tion of the union, which will be more
likely to succeed than any that have
gone before it.
1T must not be forgotten, in estimat-
ing the probable success of Mr.. Rookie
feller's scheme. that many of his for
eign employees are radical Socialists,
who will not admit that capital has any
rights whatever. These are not likely
TO be appeased by that plan as offered.
Il feel sure that some OF the wise Of
ficers OF the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company are not nearly as sanguine of
success as is Mr.. Rockefeller himself.
Mr.. Rockefeller Is not coal man and
the scheme has been evolved in New York
in more or less OF hurry. due to pres

Tor the benefit of our readers who

time to state that two years ago, when
he was business agent of Painters Dis

oi the Signwriters OF this district. and
he returned with an agreement signed
up increasing the pay of the Signwriters
from $3.50 per day for nine hours to
$500 per day for eight hours; also that
the helper should receive minimum
scale of 40 cents per hour for eight
hours instead of what they had been
getting. which was from SIPS to $500
per day for nine hours work.
After his time expired as agent he
declined to run again until December,
1914. when his friends elected him again
by good majority over all other can
didates. He is the only business agent
OF the Painters ever elected by accla-

locals by aeclamation. Bro Mum has
done more for the membership in this
district than any other business agent of
the Painters during the same length of
time.
His first act after taking his seat as
agent about ten months ago was to send
the charter of the Painters District
Council and local union No. 100 back
10 headquarters, thereby concentrating
the responsibility OF all branches OF the
trades OF the Brotherhood into two local
unions, namely, No. 20 and No. l045,
with a conference committee appointed
from each local to settle all differences
between the mixed locals, No. 10 and
No. IO45 OF the Signwriters, with the
result that both unions are doing better
than ever, with no disputes to settle
up TO date.
When he was elected last December
No 20 had membership OF 2s9 in good
standing. with suspensions going on at
the rate OF about fifteen a month, and
the union was over 5000 in debt. In
the last ten months all debts have been
paid and they have surplus in the
treasury of about $500, with an in
crease of membership of close 10 100, and
the boys have every reason to believe
that they will get an increase OF wages
this coming spring.
Bro. Mum was nominated by the fol-
lowing local unions for the position of
fourth vice president of the Brother
hood:
