DANGER IN ENGLISH MINES.
Lack of Glass Made in Germany for
Safety Lamps.

The English mines are now lacking
IN the Eigh-resistance glass with which
safety lamps are provided. Formerly
these were imported from Germany

this importation is now impossible, and

II seems that up TO the present time
only one Ensslsh concern has succeed

the severe tests imposed by the gov

stock of foreign glass that will satisfy
the demand may be exhausted before a
sunIclent quantity can be made in the
United Kingdom. The authorities are
in an embarrassing situation. either
they must relax :he severity of their
tests. despite the fact that the strength

the safety Of the miners. OF part OF the
collieries must shut down
OF course. for the time being the
former course has been adouted and
the home secretary has made a decision
authorizing the provisional use for
safety lamps. Of glass that has not

Reclamation Progress.

From the Memphis Iommerciai Appeal.
Thirteen wears ago the government
inaugurated the reclamation movement
on the present plan. 1t was an expert
ment at first. Only a short while after
this the benefit of the reclamation
service became SO apparent that the
work of the depa artment expanded and
a bread field was covered.
In the thirteen years something over
3.O00, 900 acres of land have been re-
claimed in twenty-eight irrigation
projects. in sixteen states. furnishing
homesteads to 2l,000 families This is
what has been accomplished. The de-
partment will now do greater things.
The plans under way contemplate the
reclaimins and watering of 30.00O.00O
acres, which will furnish homes for
! 900, 900 families, or approximately
100000 people.
After the war central Europe will be
a land of ruins. ruined farms and
ruined homes. The tide of immigra-
ton will turn in this direction. Peas
ants racked with the memories of war,
with their losses and with the awful
death toll, will seek new fields and will
pick up the tangled threads of their
yesterdays and will try to begin life
over again. To such homeseekers the
reclaimed lands of the government will
offer future. The department knows
this. and will welcome the stranger
when he knocks at our gates.

President Remains Silent
Despite Mr.. Bryan's Tactics:
No, Reply to His Attacks

The White House today was silent IN
the face Of the remarkabl tactics OF
William J. Bryan in appealing to the
American people to uphold his views
on the German situation as against
those of President Wilson. That Mr..
Bryan would do this had been fully
forecasted, but that he should seize the
opportunity simultaneously to publish
his opposition along with the note Of

there will be occasions "hen state

thing that would place him in the position

stand it any longer and President Taft
was compelled to engage in campaign
of defense and offense which palned him
greatly. President Wilson knows the
story of this pitiful break between friends
over political aspirations
The latest break, on its face, does
not appear to have the same motive.
