CASUAL TIES IN COAL MINES DURING 1917 SHOW BIC INCREASE Number Killed Totaled 2695, or 470 More than in
 1916 DEATH LIST LARGEST
 IN SEVEN YEARS In Report of Secretary Lane Cause Is Said to Have Been Due to
 Decentralization From War
 Time Conditions
av HUGH ". ROBERTS

Washington, February 22.--(Spec1aL1 Two thousand, six hundred and ninety five men were killed in 1917 through accidents resulting from mining coal according to official statement of Sec retary Lane of the department of the interior.
 This number is greater than that Of any totaled during the past seven years. By 47O it exceeds the number killed in 1916. The demorialization re- sulting from war-time conditions is re- sponsible for the temporary black eye given the industry" Secretary Lane adds.
 In connection with the fatality list. the Secretary authorizes the follow ing:
 At least, temporarily, it gives a black eye to the spledd efforts of the bureau of mines in it's campaign with the miners and mine operators for safer conditions. Until the war struck us there had been constantly de- creasing death rate. It had begun to graceful days when human life was cheaper than a mine mule.
 CAUSE OF FATALITIES
 "Although the war has changed all this for the time being. it is still our duty to analyze and see if we can- not correct some of the conditions, even during the war, for a single life saved, is not only humane, but step toward victory. The unfortunate death toll of last year is undoubtedly due to the fact that the industry has been speeded and retarded spasmodically throughout the year. There was the unusual demand for coal, the uncer- tainty of prices at the mines, the fail ure at times of the transportation

 Washington Statuary
Points Out Art Objects Which Hark Back Pagan Civil ization and Not at All Expressive of Real
 American Ideals
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, February 22.-(Special0 The only monument to southern prowess in Washington is the pension building and that is monument only to southern craftsmanship. That monument, inciden- tally, with the exception of that gigantic needle which stands in eternal memory of the Father of his country" was the only one against which Representative Sherwood of Ohio, a former union soldier, now a stanch democratic member of the House, did not sharply inveigh in an ad-
 dress tonight.
 While s0e other members. their wives land children, cuddled together in the assembly room of Congress Hall hotel.
 choked and gasped and attempted to
 smile, General Sherwood ridiculed the statuary of the Capital City which, in
 connection with other effort of munifi- cent government, serves to make Wash ington the city beautiful of the nation. Representative Goodwin of Arkansas. started the discussion with a pungent tribute to art-a tribute filled with poetic references to Pygmalion. Helen of Troy, M;chaelangelo and Beethoven. He de- clared art something apart, something of the soul, hence something of God. And then General Sherwood took the floor.
 "On the dome of the capitol he said, lis a statue of female with a sheathed
 sword. wearing helmet filled with eagle
 auills. She is supposed to be armed Liberty Yet, she is a woman with a mans weapons and pagan's helmet. Armed liberty?' She is nothing of ths ! sort.

Whats in a Name?

From the Popular Science Monthly
 German silver is manufactured in three general ways. It is composed of nickel. copper and zinc in varying pro- portions. The German method is to melt all the copper to be used in the mixture, and two-thirds of the nickel and zinc il, a graphite crucible and then add the rest of the nickel and zinc. In the Eng fish method the copper, nickel and zinc are melted all at one time, then more copper and zinc are added. Should the metal appear porous, a fireclay pipe containing pitch is pushed into the met al mixture to deoxidize it. There are several American methods. One is te melt a copper-nickel alloy and ther gradually add the preheated zinc IT another method money metal is used q, a base.

facilities, and the changing Of mar kets to avoid long unnecessary hauls, the difficulty in obtaining experi- enced men to offset enlistmepts, the draft, and miners voluntarily return ing to their countries in Europe 10 +aLe mart in the war All of these fac tors combined against the best enorts of the operators to produce coal in sufficient quantities to keep the coun-
 try supplied with the necessary 1uel'
 and also to have safety conditions
 which we expect.
 "The speeding up Of the mines at
 times. under the circumstances, was
 conducive to a high death rate. Mines
 found themselves short of labor and
 compelled to employ new and mex
 perienced men from other fields. Many
 of the experienced mine foremen and
 safety engineers had either enlisted
 or been drafted into the army, or ob-
 tained more remunerative employment
 elsewhere, with the result that less
 experienced foremen had to be placed
 in charge of some of the workings
 With the exceedingly large demand
 for coal, it was not possible for the
 operators and others concerned to
 give as much attention to accident
 prevention at the mines as in recent
 years under normal conditions
 STEADY WORK ESSENTIAL Mines which have not been able to obtain an adequate supply Of coal cars, have been operated only part time, which again is not conductive to safe conditions. This has resulted Tn an increase of certain dangers, espe- cially those due to gas, rust and falls of roof which would not obtain In the case of the mines operating full time. An active mine will ordinarily be Kept in better condition than one operated only part time.
 "The remedy. therefore, both for sufficient supply of coal and greater safety for the men lies in a continu- ous, steady flow of coal from the mines, without these over -straining bursts of speed and these part-tim operations that led to a neglect or the usual precautions in the mine. T am satisfied, from what the in dustry has done in the past, that this year with the bettering of the condi- tions over which the operators nave had no control, there will be a great ly increased production of coal and without an unusual sacrifice of life. Given the proper encouragement and co operation, the coal mining industry will not fail.'

ATTACK MADE ON LABOR PARTY BY
 MR. LLOYD GEORGE
Declares Party Is Not Run by Laboring Men, But by Pacifists and
 BOlshevists

London, December 14-(via Montreal) speech making campaign last night at Camberwell by attacking the name '1a- bor party" because 1t did not represent all the labor of the United Kingdom. The party represented only small part of labor. whose votes, he declared. would very largely be cast for the government.
 The labor party. the premier con- tinued, was not being run by real labor ing men, but by pacifists and pure and simple bolsheviks.
 It would not be safe to trust the destinies of a great empire to the labor party until it was able to overthrow this clique.
 The premier's challenge to the labor party was taken up promptly by the 1aborites. John R. Clynes, former food minister, speaking at Nottingham, de- clared that the labor party was the same party which had decided two years ago to support Mir. Lloyd George. The only difference was that 1t was larger. He admitted that it was true in some cases that some members of the party took extreme views, which. however, he did not share.
