PRINCE OF WALESlGREAT
FAVOR|TE WITH MINERS

London. July l.--tCorrespon-
dence of the Associated Press -
Children strewed with flowers the
path OF the Prince of Wales and
bombarded his automobile with roses
when he visited recently the coal
mining regions of South Wales and
went down into mine, The prince
scored with the coal miners OF
Rhondda Valley by telling them that
II was not mis- fault that II was his
first visit and that his absence was
due to the war,
On his way to the NINE he SUR
prised one woman by asking to see
her house and garden. He stopped
his car when another woman held

Arriving at Cwymmer pit the
prince donned the cap and overalls
OF a miner, and gratefully accepted
from the foreman silver safety
lamp, the gift OF the management
Miners and their families crowded
around him, and cheered while the
prince waited for the cage to rise
from the depths of the shaft.
Suddenly there was heard the
sound OF singing apparently from the
bowels OF the earth. The cage came
In view bringing small party OF
miners, black with coal-dust, straight
from the toll Of the pit and singing
Welsh anthem.
When the singing stopped tho
prince and his official guides then
stepped into the cage and. swiftly
but very carefully, were lowered nito
the mine.
At the bottom OF the shaft some
one had written ON a bank timber
with white chalk. Welcome to our
soldier prince" The prince was man.

signed II Edward p"
Then they took him through the
mines, showed him the ventilation
system which guards the lives OF
the hundreds OF men and boys while
they work. showed him the work

of the difficulties attending the un-
derground life OF the toilers.
He insisted on trying Il himself,
and taking the pick handed to him
by a grimy old miner. struck few
vigorous blows. Later, while thank
ing the people for his reception, he
said he could appreciate the siren
uous character OF a miners work.

pay AS YOU FIGHT

Late reports indicate that the net
war Indebtedness of the United
States is only 100000, 1000. This
is the amount left out of the total
expenditure after deducting the bill
lions which our allies have borrowed
and will pay back, and the other bill
lions which have been paid. and are
now being paid, by taxation. There
are said to be about $4,000, 600, 900
OF these foreign loans and s9,000,-
600, 900 Of taxes.
Thus the nation finds itself, at the
close Of the war, in an exceptionally
strong financial position. This net
debt Is nowhere near 50 large and
burdensome as most people have ex-
pected.
1t has been kept down chiefly by
the fact that the American people
were willing, during the war, to pay
q larger proportion Of the war bills
In taxes than any other nation, Those
taxes have come hard, and still come
hard, on top OF all the big Liberty
loan subscriptions and other war de-
mands, But the policy proves to
have been we'll worth while. From
now on, our people viii reap the
benefit Of their self-denial. Most Of
the other powers are just beginning
TO pay for their war. and we have
ours nearly half paid for already.
II is a new exempIification Of the
old adage, "Pay as you 60" Be-
cause we have paid as we fought,
we are now ready to tackle the big
problems OF reconstruction and fresh
economic development with finances
almost unimpaired. and with vigor
and confidence increased by these
war achievements

DEVIL IN THE CHuRN?

Prof. l.. B. Allyn of the New Jer-

have discovered that under the new

one-half OF one per cent alcohol is
pronounced intoxicating. Prof. Allyn
says his experiments show that but

did much toward winning the war and
has gained equal rights with Capital
as individual citizens and Nhat the
great army of laboring men will be
able to settle the labor difficulties con-
fronting the nation. Secretary of La
Dor William B. Wilson is of the opin-
ion that the great value now placed
upon work Will induce much thought
among the laborers of our land and
that Labor will insist that every man
shall have an opportunity to earn a
living upon a basis that will enable
him to enjoy the comforts of life. and
that the leaders who are we'll edu-
