Most of the miners were American

back their old jobs.
About 200 men were riding to work
on the narrow gauge train leading
into the mine. The fourth car had
entered the shaft and all passengers
on the front end Of the train were
killed or injured.
Survivors said the electric wire

fix 1t, it was said, and sparks from
the point where the ends joined

THE PARIS BETRAYAL.
Noted Catholic Editor on the Scuttlinu
of the Fourteen Points at
Versailles.

(By Charles Diamond, in the Liverpool
Catholic Herald.
We all hoped much from President
Wilson and his pronouncements for
Peace, Justice, and Liberty all over
the world Well, Wilson seems to
have failed, largely failed, over the
Peace Treaty. We regret it. But his
pronouncements remain. And more
also remain. He has sown the seed,
and others will reap the harvest.
He meant we'll, spoke we'll, worked
well.
But he was beaten.
The Autocrats, Bureaucrats, Aristo-
Gratis, and Kings were too many for
him.
Great Britain was his worst foe
His great deed was too great"
He has not yet abolished secret di-
plomacy. He was even compelled to
take part in secret discussions, and
had to swallow the secret treaties of
England and France and Japan.
We might even say: poor Wilson"
But let that pass. This is not the
end.
The League.
We now turn to his League of Ma
tions, which at one time was the
worlds only hope of liberty, but which
may seem to be League of Tyranny
and Despair.
1t does not make, so far, for the
amelioration of a single wrong, for
the liberation of single oppressed
people, or for anything seemingly but
for the perpetration of old, Infamous
evils.
1t guarantees the Territorial In
tegrity" of the British Empire-that
is to say, it secures to some sixty
millions of white people the domina-
tion and subjecion of 36O,000,0O0, and
calls it Justice and Liberty.
Was this, then, Wilson's plan?
Assuredly it was not the plan he
put before the world. That was a
very different thing.
The Word and the Deed.
His contemplated charter of human
freedom was contained in the doc
trine: "No people is to be put under
or kept under another people against
it's will"
If the League were at all the thing
it was represented, the guarantee of
territorial integrity would have been
a guarantee of liberty for nations,
large and small.
Instead, it has been reserved for
the author of it to seem to go back
upon all his fine professions and to
acquiesce in the enslavement of a
large portion of the population of the
globe.
1t would even appear, if Ireland or
India, or Egypt, or any other portion
of the enslaved and subject peoples
in the British Empire were about to
achieve their freedom, America would
be bound to aid England to keep them
in chains.
Such seems to be the Infamous be-
trayal of Liberty and justice to which
Wilson has made himself, and the
United States of America also, par
ty, if not actually a partner.
It seems foul ending to a most
hopeful prospect.
Wilson has alluded, with all ap
pearances of regret, to the fact that

WOMEN AFTER THE WAR.

It's best, It must act with and under
the government
One Of the great lessons of the
war-to women--has been the value
OF training. 1t is in the industrial
and economic field that the world
war will mark the most far-reaching
transformation In the condition of
women. From casual to. permanent,
from unsdlled and unirnp 1rtant to
trained and essential factoEs in the
economic life of the world, this will
be the effect OF the war.
proved Her Worth"
Woman has proved her worth in
new fields of activity and already new
economic problems are being raised,
as the return of former workers
raises the discussion
Never in the history of the world
was the need of wise leadership
greater than now. Never was there
greater need for strong effort, for
clear headed. uncompromising wis
dom, than in these after-the-
problems.
The women who have worked not
only for the war. but because of the
vision they have seen, going far be-
yond what even the scars of war
mean, these women are not going to
be able to sit In idleness afterward
In Europe today millions of women
are mourning their dead or weeping

over ruined homes.
Her Share in Peace.
What Is woman's responsibility for
war. and what her share In the max
ing of permanent peace? Men and
women alike will have TO bear a large
share in the process OF readjustment.
We realize We must prepare our
selves, morally, intellectually and in
dustrially for the tasks that lie before
us.
Let it be the business OF thinking
men and women to impress upon the
mind OF youth that war alone never
settles anything-thatm ilitnrism can
not be destroyed by militarism-that
only good can destroy evil--and that
the divine purpose of human brother
hood is an ideal worthy of mans high
est endeavor
Those who are determined that this
shall be the last great war must learn
how to live and work together. even
as we desire all nations to do.
Women have arisen to a conception
more than personal, are seeing
their duty is not remedial only, but
also preventive.
/ "War or Law"
No true woman is content to live
on the surface In these fateful days,
days that decide for generations
whether war or law shall govern the
world She will throw all her infiu-
ence toward the realization of world
unity. a league OF nations that shall
insure the peace of the world.
1t lis splendid thing to be an
American in this day, but II is a title
that carries with 1t a great individual
