Charleston, West Virginia.-Min.

seriously handicapped, owing to a
shortage of miners, and conditions
are to become worse. according t ope-
rators, with the resumption of work
in the eastern Ohio coal fields, where
a 13-month strike has just ended. Be-
cause Of the scarcity of labor, opera

Thousands Of foreign miners re-
turned to their homes last year when
the business depression resulted in
many mines being either entirely or
partly closed down. Since then the
European war has prevented their re-
turn.

SUBMARINE WAR STOPPED
Report Says Germany Ordered cessa.
ton Pending Result Of Neootia-
tons With u. S.

Observation-Disclosures Of the re-
port that the Anchor Line steamer
Transylvania had been -unsuccessfully
Northern Ireland developed unexpect-
eddy the news that the German gov
eminent has ordered submarine war
fare against merchantmen suspended
pending negotiations with the United
States. From a competent source it
was learned that instructions have
been issued from Berlin which ought
tania disaster. It is understood that
the German embassy is aware of the
suspension of the submarine campaign
and hat it's members were greatly
surprised to hear of the reported a
row escape of the Pennsylvania.
The officials of the embassy know,
of course, that if negotiations are to
be begun with reference to the rep
aration which Germany Is to make for
the submarine attacks on the Gulf
light, the Falaba and the Lusitania
and with reference to the legality of
Germany's methods of sea warfare, the
outrages which called forth this coun-
try's protest must stop. That is an
obvious condition precedent to a
friendly settlement.
1t Is therefore not surprising that
the German government, in view of
the difficulties surrounding n at
tempt on it's part to pacify neutral SEN
timent, should have taken steps to
avoid any further friction with neutral
nations. If the Transylvania was at
tackled, 1t is assumed by those who
ought t 0 know what the German gov
ernment's intentions are, that the
suspension notice from Berlin simply
failed to reach one or more of the sub
marines operating on the north coast
of Ireland and the west coas OF Scot
land. It is felt here that q temporary
suspension of the submarine campaign
may easily lead to al absolute sus-
pension of it after Germany coolly bal
ances the advantages and disadvan-
tages Of a complete change in her
naval policy.

Uneasy About Yaauis.

Mexico, are being answered with as
surances that the colonists were In

apprehensive Of another Indian out

Gov. Maytorena, heading the Villa
administration in Sonora, Is said to
have dispatched all the troops he can
spare from nearby garrisons and be-
lieves they can control the situation.
It is known. however, that the best of
all troops in the state have joined
Gen. Villa in his prolonged battle with
the Carranza forces under Obregon
south Of Leon.
The colonists are concentrated at
YaQui Pueblo ready to proceed to the
coast If the troops do not quell the
disturbances SO they a return to
their properties.
Advices from Mexico are meager.
Consul Silliman, at Gen. Carranza's
headquarters in Vera Cruz, reported
the recapture OF Panuco near Tampico
by the Villa forces. The situation as
to British oil supply, which has caused
uneasiness, is again made acute by
this development. zsince the Villa
troops control the producing wells and
the Carranza forces the terminals at
Tuxpam and Tampico.
No advices' came from Central Mex
leo where the Villa and Obregon
armies are engaged. Except for con.
huahua and Vera Cruz nothing has
been allowed to reach the outside
world about progress Of this conflict
on which probably hangs the eventual
success of one faction or the other.
