Mexico's Fat Chance.

From the Arkansas Gazette.
 There is little reason to question the authenticity of Senator Falls in formation concerning recent Mexican propaganda supporting revolutionary forces supposed to exist in dangerous magnitude in the United States. Such propaganda is in line with Mexican mentality and with the teachings of the German blunderers who had so strong hold on Carranza during the war.
 Whether Carranza actually took part in this propaganda probably new CT will be known, as the Mexican gov- ernment will deny any connection with it. This feature is unimportant, how ever. It does not matter if he has been the center of the propaganda. The wonderful scheme will get noth- ing more than a laugh from the Unit ed States.
 When Mexico is able to retake Tex as and the remainder of the territory she lost to us, Montenegro will be able to choke the entente allies to death and German prince will occu- py the White House at Washington.

COAL STRIKE IN ARKANSAS
About 5000 Miners Were Affected
 and 100 Mines.

Little Rock, Dec. 1.-The coal strike is ended.
 After six weeks of idleness, the mines are to resume operation at once.
 This affects about 5000 miners and about one hundred mines in the state
 .. large and small.
 The average annual production of coal in Arkansas is about two and a third million tons and the period of idleness now closing presents approx imately 100000 loss in production.
 It will be several days before pro duction returns to normal, but be- cause of the shortage turnout the country, and the fact that railroads industries and other consumers are on war-rations, it is believed it will not be long before all mines are run. ming to their full capacity.
