EARLY llse of Coal in Britain.

Some say that coal was used by the
ancient Britons; at all events, it was
an article of household consumption to
some extent during the Anglo-SaXon
period as early as $50 A. ID. 1t GER
family was known there in the thir-
teenth century, as is evidenced by
charter given in 1899 by King Henry
III to the inhabitants of Newcastle-on-
TYNE for the wlaning Of the numerous
coal mines in that region. 1t was
however, not until 1869 that the Paris
ians got English coal from Newcastle
Subsequent coal mines were discover
ed in various parts of France, notably
in the departments Of Pas-le-Calais
and the Loire. In America the depos-
ats near Richmond, Va, were discover
ed in 1901, ana mining was begun IN
1901. while anthracite was first pro
auced in 1893

japan has asked for permission to
land troops in Siberia to prevent the
vast quantities of munitions and 9th
er military stores at Vladivostok and
along the lines of the Siberian rail-
road from falling into the hands of
the Germans. 1t was feared that the
Germans might attempt to force the
bOlsheviki to deliver these stores to
the Germans as a part of peace
agreement. Japan announced her VIII
lingness to undertake such an eXpe-
dition by herself or in connection with
troops sent by other Of the allied Da-
lions.
While all officials at Washington are
silent and disposed to minimize dis
cussion of the subject it is known that
exchanges of opinion are going on with
the object of a perfect understanding
between Japan, the United States ana
the other co-belligerents which would
make the plan of joint action wholly
acceptable to all and thoroughly define
its extent and duration.
Russian representatives at Washing
ton oppose action by the japanese in
Siberia, but the co-belIigerents are thor
oughly alarmed lest the vast quantities
of supplies piled up at Yladivostok,
bought and paid for with American
cash, should fall into the hands of the
Germans.
Criticism at home Of the failure of
Japan to play a larger part in the wal

Possibility of disagreement be-
tween the United States and Spain
because OF the refusal Of the latter
country to supply certain war mate
rails to General Pershing was remoy-
ed by the signing Of an economic agree
ment, under which General Pershlng
will get mules, army blankets and 9th
err materials from Spain in return for
cotton, oil and other commodities from
the United States. Success Of these
negotiations was welcomed by officials
in Washington as ability TO buy sup

American forces occupy splendid po-
sltionS throughout practically the en-
tire line, They are In nearly all cases
on the high ground, and II is these
strong defensive positions against
which Germany must throw her shocR
troops in massed battalions. The
price these troops will pay for even an
attempt to break through will be ter

the million men Won Hindenburg has
prophesied II Is not likely that
even the iron discipline of the German
army will withstand such losses.

Our boys have had their first taste
Of the deadly Hun gas. Without warn
ing Of any kind gas shells began burst
ing among the men Of an American ar
tillery regiment on the western front,
and more than 200 men were down be-
for they could put on gas masks, Eight
men died within few minutes and 200
were taken to hospitals where they suf-
fered every conceivable torture while
the doctors worked over them In an
effort to get air into their lungs. While
the American troops in France have
been supplied with gas equipment and
with gas shells for the field guns they
had never been used, American com
manders feeling that they could not
bring themselves to so violate all evil
dences Of civilization by such a method
of warfare. The gassing Of American
troops has, however, convinced our
commanders at the front that they
must fight the Hun in his own way,
brutal and inhuman though that way
may be, and the Boches will be given
a taste of their own weapons.
