London, March 9, S.42 p. m-Robert
SmilIie, president of the coal min
ers' federation, recti7ed tonight the
widespread report that many thous-
ands of men are focking into mine
work in order to avoid military serv-
ice, as underground mining is an eX-
empted trade.
Nearly 10000 skilled miners,' said
President Smillie, have Joined the
army since the outbreak of the war
Their departure caTsod crisis in the
coal production which threatened to
bring about n famine and partial stop
page of the munitions output. Many
thousands of elderly men, formerly
miners who had adopted other trades.
have now returned to the pits simply
from n patriotic desire to help the
country to win the war, while the re-
mainder of the 1901 new hands en-
ploved are mainly boys.

and more skilled miners be taken

U. S. WANTS COPY OF
BRITISH INSTRUCTIONS
To Commanders of British Merchant
VesseIs-Request Sent.

o commanders OF British Merchant
Vessels-Request Sent.
Washington, March 9.-The United
States has asked Great Britain for a
copy of the confidential instructions
to commanders of British merchant
vessels, which Germany claims prove
that merchantmen armed ostensibIy
for defensive purposes, have orders to
act Extensively against German and
Austrian submarines. The request is
understood to have been made today
through Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the
British ambassador.
This is the nrst step the United
States has taken since administration
othcials began studying the complete
memorandum, in which Germany an
nounced its intention to treat as war
ships armed merchantmen the entente
allies, its appendices, and the subse-
quent memoranda on the subject sub
mItted by Count Won Bernstorff the
German ambassador.
There were strong intimations to-
night that the British government
later would be given an opportunity
to answer all the German charges
and to comment upon the twenty in
cidents where Germany claims defen-
sively armed ships have acted often
siVely toward submarines of the cen
trail European powers.
