vast quantities of coal to Canada for

The owners blamed Secretary Baker
for this, declaring that when Baker
refused to accept the Peabody agree
ment for So coal many big consumers
refused to lay in their usual stocks.
anticipating lower government price.
As a result shortage in the Great
Lake region and New England exists.
with only SS days before the Lakes
shipping season closes.
The federal control of the coal mines
would place about S00,0 miners in
the United States employ and would
give government supervision over the
production Of over roo million tons Of
coal. according to statistics furnished
the United Press by the Illinois coal
operators association.
The operators declare they want
federal control of their mines. They
declare that unless something is done

THE Birth of a Nation"

Every genius has his master crea-
tion, and it is no discredit to Mr.. d.
W. Griffith to say that when he turned
out The Birth of Nation. he gave the
world and posterity to come the high
est possible attainment of his powers
for he also gave marvel that no
other man could surpass.
To see The Birth of Nation the
first time is only to be electrified at
its enormity, stupifed at its myriads
Of flashing wonders; to see it a second,
third many times, is to be enabled
to sit back comfortably and enjoy it,
immeasurably more at each successive
sitting.
A celebrated eastern critic has said
Of it that it requires one sitting to
catch every other high place" Of the
terrific action; second, to catch all
Of the high places; third to COM
mence to realize all the wealth Of
drama that is continually going on be-
tween these high places after
that, the ordinary spectator can COM
mence to follow the entire production,
as it flows. marveling at the tremen-
dous harmony of the whole.
Its indisputable spell is being con
tinuously proven in every section Of
the country--capacity houses turning
out everywhere to see 1t every timt
it returns-and most Of them to sever
al Of the performances at each engage
ment.
