CARS CAUSE OF
COAL SHORTAGE
More Even Distribution Would
Relieve Situation.
SEEKING STILL MORE FUEL
A Big Company is Drilling For Ne"
Veins That, IL Found, Can Easily
Be Reached

Scranton, Pa, July IA more
evenly distributed car supply Will
solve the coal shortage question i'll
far more effective style than the prop
osirion of having the mines work nine
instead of eight hours a day, accord
ing 10 statement made by John l..
Lewis, vice president Of the mine
workers Local officers of the union
have issued statements confirming
this argument, and they do not look
for move that will call for nine
or ten hour day. At most collieries,
they claim, the companies are not able
to furnish sufficient cars for an eight
hour shift. and with the output In
creased through extra work conges-
ton of coal soon would result.
1t is the belief of the miners Off
GERS that the decision of the com
panies to work mines on funeral days
by giving additional compensation to
the nearest heirs of deceased work
ers, sending six men to represent the
workers at each funeral. will help to
solve the shortage question. 1t is
estimated that at least 100000 tons
of coal are lost yearly through the
suspension Of work on funeral days.
The figures are based on an estimate
which gives the number Of deaths at
the mines in the three anthracite dis
tricts as 300 a year.
The reopening of the wage contract
as asked by the miners, will have to
be with the Endorsement Of the fuel
administration at Washington, accord
ing to the belief expressed here. 1t
is pointed out that Dr. Garfield must
give permission for any Increase in
the price of coal, and it is certain
that there will be no advance in the
wages of the mine workers unless the
operators are given the opportunity OF
passing the burden on to the public.

IN L|Ct,a.l'i''S NAME
Memorial Day Finds the Nation
Battling .0r Freedom of the
Whole World.

n n r1MORItL DAY was born of a
lV war fought that this nation, I'M
der God, should have a new
birth Of freedom, and that government
OF the people, for the people and by
the people shall not perish from the
EARTH"
A half a century and more has
passed since that immortal utterance
Now the nation is again in arms, to
hight that 1.-THE world may be made
safe for democracy"
Then, the young republic, struggling
upward toward it's vision Of freedom,
learned through the bitter travail Of
civil war that the nation could not
exist half slave and half free. The
vision has broadened with the wild
ening years. Then 1t was for the free
dom OF race the nation fought. Now
the sword is drawn for the imperlled
liberty of the world.
The natal day Of our independence
we have been wont to celebrate with
loud acclaim and Wanting pride. Me-
mortal day ever has been our time for
solemn contemplation. Another Me-
mortal day Is at hand, and as America
lays its flowers on the graves of it's
soldier dead, it hears again that re-
vered voice from the slopes of Get
tysburg bidding us to be not unmind-
full that 1T is rather for us to be here
dedicated to the great task remaining
before us, that from these honOred
dead we take increased devotion to
that cause for which they gave the
last full measure Of devotion; that we
here highly resolve that these dead
shall not have died in vain."
A beautiful, poetic symbolism
Memorial day had come to be to us:
The people who walk with slow steps
In the quiet cemeteries, the children
In their white dresses who with loving
hands place wreaths "alike for the
friend and the foe" the venerable men
who are the links that bind us to an
age long gone, and, as we believed, for
ever gone, when nation warred with
nation and blood lust grew in hearts
that had thrilled at the sight Of the
same flag.
And now with what a new and sud
den significance has Memorial day been
vested. With what different thought
will they go lovingly laden with flow
ers." How much more reverently
than in those conventional days that
already seem so far away will the lit
tie flags be planted ON each patriot
mound. And who is there, when taps,
clear and soft as benedictiOn, is
sounded for those who "dream Of bat
tlefields no more" will not remember
that on a neighboring hill on the NOR
row from that same silvery bugle will
leap the reveille for another genera
ton Of freedoms soldiers?
If solemn memories of the past and
earnest thought for the future bring
that new birth of freedom, who shall
say that those have died in vain for
whom flowers will be spread in far
Memorial DAYS TO come?

TRIBUTE TO PHIL KEARNY
nous Soldier Who Gave His Life
for His Country.

It was after the review that / made
GERS with whom was to have the good
fortune to fight for a cause which was
already dear to me- All made me cor
daily welcome, but it was with Kearny
that / found myself most at home. He
it was who could speak to me of the
French army in Algeria in 1910 and of
the memories left by my family in that
country. He did so in terms which
deeply touched the heart of the exile,
the son of the Due dOrleans Kearny
had participated in one of those cam
paigns on African ground which
brought out strongly the merits of the
French soldier. He had also associated
himself with the triumphs of France
in the italian campaign of 1859.
His abrupt speech and imperiOus
manner denoted q proud disposition,
and a character incapable of flattery
or of discrimination. But though at first
his manner was not always fitted to
attract, one soon learned to appreciate
the noble qualities Of his heart, the
firmness Of his will, the accuracy Of
his Judgment, the truthfulness and
grandeur Of his soul.
If he did not spare his soldiers at
the decisive moment, he spared himself
still less, and by his example obtained
from his followers truly heroic efforts.

HUN VICE PLOT TOLD
German E'Fear Book" Is BROUGHT
Into Allan Case.
Witnesses Tell of Social Leaders Who
Were Listed as Under Control
of Spies.

London, May 31.-Noel Pemberton-
Billing, member of parliament for
East Hertfordshire and publisher Of
the newspaper Vigilante, opened his
defense in his trial in the Bow street
police court on the charge of libeling
Maude Allan, dancer, and ]. T. Grein,
manager of the Independent theater.
Mrs. Villiers Stewart was called to
testify to the existence of a book,
which PembertOnBilling said had
been prepared for German secret
agents, containing the names of A.
OOO British persons alleged to be adj
dlcted to vice and held in bondage to
Germany through fear of exposure.
Mrs. Stewart, under examination by
Mr.. PembertOn-BiIling said the book,
which she had seen but was not pro-
duced contained the names of EXPIRE
mier Asquith and Mrs. Asquith, Wis
count Haldane, former secretary OF
war, and Justice Darling, who is try
Ing the case against the member of
parliament.
Another witness, Capt. Harold Spen-
Ger, said he was shown the book by
Prince William of Wied in Albania
He said he did not remember seeing
Mr.. AsQuith's name in it, but he de-
clared the names of Mrs. Asquith and
ViscOunt Haldane were there
Captain Spencer and Mrs. Stewart
said they had been threatened.
tai
names of Mrs. Asquith and Viscount
Haldane, said he would give only the
names of those who had been ap-
preached and had succumbed to Ger
man temptation. He had placed the
information before the foreign office,
the war office and the admiralty.
There was great political pressure
brought to BEAR" said the witness,
land l was told that if it were pub
Hshed it would undermine the whole
fabric of the government. 1 then took
1t to the political machine"
Last September he had heard of a
camarilla in financial circles, whose
object was to get Asquith back in
power and make German peace. AS
precautiOn, he informed American
naval headquarters so that the plot
might be frustrated.
Admiral Mayo and his secretary
came to me and got the whole state
ment," he said.
Asked whether he knew of opera
lions of the camarilla between Eng
land and Germany, the witness re-
piled:
"They have had messages sent be-
tween England and Germany with
this intelligence"
One of the principal messengers,
ne learned from persons who had re-
ported to the intelligence department,
was Well-knOwn English society
woman, Mrs. George Keppel. He had
seen Mrs. Keppel come back from Hol-
land.
Captain Spencer was ultimately
passed out of the flying corps as ply
Slcally unfit. Under croSs-eXaminatiOn
he said he had never been in the secret
service He was born in America and
had never been naturalized in Eng
land.
Captain Spencer described how he
was detained in cabin in France, be-
ing told by doctors that he was suf-
fering from unusual Authorizations and
