Washington, Sept. 25.-Early revision
upward of coal prices in q number Of
outlying districts will be made by the

particularly true in some parts Of the
south and west, where coal runs in thin

Writing in the Tages Zeitung, Count Re-

"As a result of the publication of the

is now solidly behind the president. This
circumstance or its possible results are
hardly calculated TO fill us with pessi-
mlsm. However, those circles which have
been basing hopes for the preservation of
peace on divided public opinion in the
United States are now forced TO deplore
the turn things have taken and to doubt
the wisdom OF the German policy which,
as far as Mexico is concerned, NAV be
stignatized as bringing lighted match

Viewed from this angle, the offer to
Mexico is wholly incomprehensible in

such an alliance would seem to rest

help but deplore the German alliance
plan from this viewpoint alone. Mexico
IS frontier neighbor of the United

cursed mark of traitor is but another
indication of her contempt for the Jap

Germany thinks that the mere fact of
allowing even the greatest OF Asiatic
nations to be associated with her would
be sufficient recompense to that nation,
and that would probably be the only
recompense. However, we believe Japan
is far too wise to put her trust in gov

lightly as the German government does,
and much too honorable to play the role
of traitor to her allies.
Aside from the insult of Germany's
assumption that Japan is at heart a

junction with whom she is now Loyalty

clearly see where her ties of national in

young associate, Hermon +. Eddy, is
summoned to the great hereafter One
wonders sometimes what plan of the
Almighty can require the taking away
of two such men in so short a time. Al
though differing temperamentally from
his chief, Mr.. Eddy was very much like
him in right living, clean thinking. and
hard working. He was great in mental
capacity as well as in stature, and po-
tentially at least was one of the ablest
members of the Vermont bar During
the II years that he was connected with
the Fits law Office, Mr.. Eddy had as
sisted in the preparation and trial of
large number of extremely important
cases, and his experience in this work
had laid a foundation on which all who
knew him expected he would build
career of far more than ordinary useful
ness and success. He was, in short, a
coming man-of the sort that the town
and state can III -afford to spare.
Those with whom Hermon Eddy had
personal acquaintance knew him as
man of high ideals, strong moral con
victions. simple tastes and a broad con
eeption Of citizenship. He loved the out
doors. especially the beautiful outdoors

COMPLEXITY OF

Gets a Clear View of the

London, March 6.-For the first time
yesterday, the British press and public
seemed to have arrived at full under.
standing of the complex position which
President Wilson faced because of the
Senate rules permitting flibustering
Consequently comment, both public and
in the British newspapers, reflected a
more sympathetic attitude toward the
American executive and his problem than
at any time in recent weeks.
On the other hand, the handful of
senator's who blocked passage of the
armed neutrality bill in the Senate came
in for universal execration for "thwart-
ing the national will" as most newspa-
pers expressed IT,
The average Briton finds it hard to
understand the American legislative or
political system, and in such a mixup
as the American Senate found itself dur
ing the last two days neither the Brit
ish newspapers nor the public were able
to fathom the matter.
Dispatches detailing the close of the
congressional session, featured" here by
the newspapers, served to clear up much
of the mystery of the situation. United
Press dispatches from Washington Sat
urday and Sunday aided in giving the
public clear, comprehensive view of
the dramatic close of Congress and some
OF the situation in which
President Wilson now finds himself. Brit
ish newspapers were chary about sug
costing way out" for Wilson, but
most of them seemed content TO leave
the problem in his hands, processing the
belief that the American people were be-
hind him in whatever he did.
