COAL HIGHER IN CHICAGO.
That Mined Since Strike Ending
Goes Up IS Cents a Ton.

CHICAGO. December 24.-Coal con-
sumers today were in receipt of an
nouncements from several fuel COM
panies notifying them of an increase
in the retail price of between 30 and
IS cents ton on all coal mined since
settlement of the recent bituminous
miners strike to make up for the IA
per cent wage increase the workers
gained.
"This does not mean no coal will be
sold at the government price," one
dealer said. but the Garfield order is
not retroactive on contracts executed
before it was issued. and all con-
tracts contain a clause providing for
the passing along of any increase in
mining cost. Those who have no con-
tracts for coal will get it at the gov
eminent price.
However most operators have their
entire output sold under contract. 40
the price increase will be pretty gem
eral."

The members Of the house of Manners,
like the Howards. the Cavendishes, the
Cecils and few others. belong to group
Of families that feel there is nothing higher
than themselves in England. They pay
homage TO the King on account OF his posi-
ton. but they feel that from strictly fam.
lily point of view he scarcely reaches their
altitude.
The present Dukes father in his youth
wrote some rather noted verses, in which
occurred these interesting lines;
Let wealth and commerce, laws and learn
ing die,
But leave lis still our old nobility"
Small wonder that Lady Diana Manners,
who possessed quite extraordinary heaut%
in addition 10 all the advantages of rank,
great estates and ancient and romantic
family traditions should have been an OBJ
jnct Of universal alteration
Several princes Of the British royal fam
lily and of several continental regning
houses were madly in love with her and
begged for her hand upon their knees. 1t
has been decided recently that The mem
bers of the British royal family should not
seek their mates among foreign reigning
families. but rather among prominent Eng
lish families of the nobility or possibly
among Colonial or American families.
Under this policy there could have been
no more fitting bride for an English prince
Than Lady Diana Manners. She would
have been immensely popular as Queen of
England or in any position near to the
throne.
There is no doubt that she could have
occurred such position. While the Duke
Of Rutland may feel that his blood is bluer
than that Of the King, ii is evident that
relationship TO the reigning house still
gives a social authority that must be very
tempting 10 woman.

Bernstorf Not Forgotten.

When it comes time to say who
will be acceptable as the German
Ambassador to the United States,
when diplomatic relations are re-
sumed between the two countries,
the powers that be in Washington
are going to have whole lot to do
with the matter. Officials have not
forgotten, nor will they soon forget,
the nerve-racking days and nights
they spent in baking or untangling
the maze of traps set by Bernstorft,
when he was at the helm of German
affairs. and the double-dealing that
he gave them, covering many
months before his passports were
presented to him. 1t is doubtful
il the bitter feeling against him per-
sonally, and for his propaganda
work, will ever die. So it is natural
that blood should boil considerably
when the Germans announced that
they had selected for their repre-
sentative a man who was an asso-
cate of Bernstorff and who had ac-
TALLY been working with him dur.
ing much of the time that he double
crossed the United States Off Gals.
1t is considered, however. that the
naming of the new ambassador is
merely feeler" to see how the
land lies. II that is so, words will
not be minced or actions concealed
upon the part of anyone who
has anything to do with the
matter, from the President down
One thing is determined and that
| is that when a representative from
Germany steps foot on American
soil he will have to bring and beal
