Gus coal miners and operators from
Illinois. Indiana, Ohio and western
Pennsylvania, spent the day bargain
ing in a last effort to reach an agree

No Compromise
Practically in control of the ma

held the situation IN dCadloc. all day

some proposal which would satisfy
the president and still save their po-

Friends of the president watching
the maneuvering closely saw the OBJ

came the word that there should hc
no compromise. Congress Will meet
tomorrow facing a clear cut issue with
the president.
The presidents friends openly
charge that resistance to his program
is purely political. They make il un-
mistakably clear that ho does not in
tend to let the question be passed
over by compromise and risk being
embarrassed later in his negotiations
with Germany by having the agitation

The possibility that the effort To
suppress a vote may succeed is not
being overlooked by the presidents
friends. although they are confident
his course will prevail. They say,
however. that if the OPPOSITION in con

BOTTLED FIREFLIES
TO help Soldiers
Army May Use Insects TO
Aid in Night Attacks
on MeXicans
MACHINE GUNS
AS AUXILIARIES
By The United Press.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. June 80. -
Bottled fireflies as an aid to military
operations in Mexico are now being
discussed in certain Washington Off
cial circles!
When our standard machine guns
jammed during the raid on Columbus.
n NJ. the people who are responsible
for providing the army with that type
of gun made the excuse that the Mex
leans had been so inconsiderate as
30 attack while black darkness
shrouded the land
The machine guns in question is
hard to operate at night because Of
the narrow slit into which the thin
brass cartridge clip has to be fitted.
But, unfortunately. they have night
on the Mexican border and night is a
favorite time for attack
The ordnance officials at Washing
ton perceived that it would be obvi-
ously impracticable to illuminate
our trenches with arc lamps, and so
the unique idea of issuing flash lamps
10 the machine gun men was hit
upon!
This at the very time when the ten
dency to simplication in equipment is
the rule Of the day.
Then one army man actually made
the suggestion that bottled fireflies,
procured by forage parties, might
serve as a substitute for the little
electric flash lamps!
The point is that for years there
has been at the disposal Of the L. S
ordnance board a marvellous machine
gun, which one man could handle in
utter darkness without any danger
of its iamming-and could fire it up.
side down, at that. if he choose!
It is the Lewis gun. which personal
prejudice on the part of ordnance
board officers seems 10 have kept out
of our service.
Now. only a few weeks after a
board of army men at Springfield
Mass. decided for a second time
that the Lewis machine gun wasn't
any good. the war department is about
to commander a supply Of these very
guns from the factory now making
them for the alliesl
An extra appropriation OF S2,000-
600 for machine guns has been rushed
through Congress.
Since the allies have found the
Lewis gun their best rapid fire
weapon. it is to be expected that il
these guns find their way, as nov
seems probable, TO the Mexican bord
er. they will prove the most usefu
gun there.
If such be our experience. som'
Washington believers in real pre-
paredness are asking what the public
will think Of the ordnance boarC
which twice rejected the Lewis gun
Will they not demand it is asked
the ultimate revision of the ordnance
board personnel as an absolutely es
sential measure Of any plan of tru'
preparedness?
