Most of tIie shafts in the French field had to be sunk through quick sand or water bearing chakg and marls. which necessitated the use of the freezing process or of the cemehtation method. Hence when the iron liT1ings were broken, water would run Iii freely; but this was iit enough tb suit the Germans, and in some instances they ditched in sur face swafnps and ponds.
 Tt was estimated by the Ceurrieres Colliery management that in it's mines 100000 cubic meters of water had run in. Pumping this would roughly be equivalent to hoisting 20,0O05000 tons of coal.

SCOTTISH HOME RULE

Home rule in Ireland isn't the only problem of the kind to bother Great Britain. That has been advocated for :. a long time and as yet no solution has z been reached. In fact there is no tell <. ing whether it eyer will be. but even that is not discouraging to others for in addition to those who are working for home rule in Ireland there are those who are doing the same thing for Scotland. Now Scotland doesn't want to be separated from Great Brit 7 ain but 1t is maintained that interest and belief have been steadily growing in Scotland to the effect that it should have a larger measure of control over its own affairs as a part of the fed- eral scheme of government for Great Britain. with Scotland retaining all her rights in imperial affairs.

Gov. Coeliages landlord in North ampton has put up his rent s5 month. It Is modest rent, only s25. now s30. The landlord said he would gladly give the governor the< half house free. but he couldn't afford it. and, he added, the governor wouldn't take it.

eARFIELp's RESIGNATION

fuei Administrator Garfield is not the only one who is dissatisfied with the way in which the president has stepped into the coal trouble after his previous efforts psoved fruitless and the governments policy had been de- cluea upon. There are those even among the strikers who refuse to &C., eept the arrangement approved at the Indianapolis meeting. But Drs Gar Held looks upon the presidents move as repudiation of the fight tkat he pas been making and as a conse- huence he is unwilling to retain the pfiice. It Is made plain to him that he nas not gotten the support for his policy that was to be expected under the circumstances. The course pur- sued amounts to an expressed lack of confidence and such being the case Dr. Garfield's action does not come as a surprise. n-,

That fate is borne out by frequent experience in all lines.
 As the champion of the public's in D terest Dr. Garfield showed where the D miners could get an increase and that the operators should bear it. He ob- jected to any part of the burden of in creased wages being thrown over onto the consumers. According to the pres. ent agreement that is to be followed but in addition there is to be a com mission to review the entire situation with authority to fix prices and as iS usual under such conditions. and a. the miners are hoping for, it can be expected that any further changes vii mean that tho cost of coal will go up regardless Of where it is at the presen lime or the fact that it would be con. tributing to the endless cycle of liv. ing costs.
 Dr. Garfield opposed this. He be slicved that the cost of living should b, kept down and that tho governmen should stand for the big majority o the people rather than those who hat dehed 1t.
