He wrote long letter to Secretary

It was said that the communications

THREATEN 70 STRIKE At
ONCE.
jE0PARDIZES WORK OF SHIPS
Dispute Occupies Public Mind in Eng
land Above all Other Matters,
Even Reports Of Fighting In
East and West.

London, July 15.-Despite the action
II the government in applying the mu.
nitions of war act to the coal mining
industry, which will make the miners
subject to severe fires If they strike,
1t Is practically certain that large
number of the men will stop work in
South Wales at once, thus curtailing
the supply Of coal for the naval ves-
sells.
The Federation OF Miners of the
United Kingdom, the labor leaders and
the general public, upon whose support
the miners would depend to make the
strike success, are all urging them to
continue work until an agreement can
be reached, but the executive council
of the South Wales union by major
tty vote refused to support this rec
concentration and large proportion Of
the men are preparing to lay down:
their tools.
Jeopardlzes Work Of Navy.
1t is not believed, however, that the
strike will last long as the men them
selves are divided and the South
Wales union has not the funds to f.
nance long struggle. The Miners Fed
Grafton Of the United Kingdom, after
Its recommendation, is not likely to
assist them from the exchequer. There
is also possibility that the govern
ment will utilize the miners who en-.
listed In the army and who have not
yet left the country, to work the mines.
This dispute, which jeopardizes the,
work of the navy, occupies the public
mind in England above all other mat
tiers and the official reports of the
fighting in the East and West taken.

Secretary Daniels Accepts Resignation
but Questions Right Of Any Officer
to Quit Service,

Washington, July Is. - Secretary
Daniels has accepted the designations
Of Naval Constructors William B. Fer
guson and John E. Otterson, both OF
whom are said to have been offered
positions with private shipbuilding
companies at salaries far exceeding
their pay as officers in the navy:
Legal experts in the navy hold that
the President may use his discretion
In accepting or rejecting designations
of any officers, but Mr.. Daniels de-
cided that Constructors Otterson and
Ferguson should be permitted to leave
the service, because they had fulfilled
agreements to serve at least eight
years entered into when they were
given special education at government
expense at Annapolis.
Serve Nation Better.
In accepting the designations of two
army ordnance experts Secretary Gar
rison said he believed the officers
could better serve the nation by aiding
In the development of private gun and
munitions plants. Secretary Daniels
explained, however, that this view had
not been considered in connection with
the cases of the two constructors.
AT the time these officers signed
their agreements" Mr.. Daniels said.
1t had been the uniform custom Of
the department to accept designations
whenever rendered. Acting for the
President, I therefore accepted these
designations, not because it is rcos-
niaed that the agreement forms any
binding contract which entities the of.

WHY COWS GIVE MORE MILK
THAN THEY USED TO

A contributor to the current issue of
Farm and Fireside explains as follows,
why COWS give more milk than they
used to:
"Cattle used to be bred chiefly for
work. Therefore the cows did not give
much milk. Breeds improve the thing
for which they are selected.
"In 1890 the work cows of Germany
gave an average Of a pint and half a
day. Interest in milk increased, and
by 1900 the average yield was quart
and half. Breeding went on milk
ward, and in 1910 the German cows
averaged two quarts of milk each per
day. In 1920 three, in 1880 four-and
there the gain stopped for thirty years.
But in 1860 the production had in
creased to six quarts, and by 1870 to
eight.'

A number Of papers argue that be-
cause the Tollefson bribery matter was
not made public when the legislature
was in session, no attention should
now be paid to it. This is strange rea-
soniny. A crime is crime, and this
kind is particularly heinous. Accord
ing to this theory, if a murder comes
out long enough after it's occurrence,
nothing should be done about it. The
people in Indiana 10 not take that
view of things. They are prosecuting
for last November election frauds.
