GREATER PRODUCTION
OF COAL UR GEL
FOR BRITAIN
NEW FIELDS ARE BEING DE-
VEIOPED IN YORK
SHIRE

LONDON, Feb. %. - More coal
must be produced by the United
Kingdom If Great Britain's manu-
facturers are to successfully COM
pete in the worlds markets with
those of other nations, declare
weH-informed economists. They
point to an apparent inability of
Great Britain to produce enough
coal to keep her industries at top
speed and at the same time pro-
vide for the comfort of the people.
1t is claimed that there is an
abundance of coal in the United
Kingdom. New mines are being
opened and developed in South
Wales, the chief source of supply
for many years, but the cost of
operation increases as the deposits
near the surface are exhausted.
New fields have been developed
elsewhere, notably in Yorkshire.
Nottingham seems to have an in
exhaustible supply. of coal, but de-
velopments there have been ham
pered by the absence of many min
ers drafted for the army.
Experts have discovered that
the amount of coal annually pro-
duced by each person employed in
the mines has declined from 312
tons in 1890 to 244 IONS in 1912.
This is contrasted with reports
from the United States showing
that production of coal there an
nually has increased from 400 tons
per person employed in 1890 to
$50 tons in 1912.
This proportionate decrease of
British coal production is attribut-
ed to two Failure to adopt
new and improved machinery and
systems of operation and demands
of miners for more pay and less
work.
Confronting a period which the
general public has been led to be-
lieve that Great Britain's most i'm
portant era of industrial expansion,
British industry is demanding
cheap coal. Nevertheless, miners
in some sections demand a six-hour
working day five days a week,
while in other sections the men
want to be paid for 20 minutes for
refreshments, meaning tea.
One writer points out that while
the cost of producing coal has
doubled in Great Britain since
1886, the cost of production in the
United States was less in 1912
than in 1886. England, he de-
clares, must have cheap coal to
carry on her highly developed
manufacturing industries in COM
petition with other countries who
have that advantage.

BUSINESSMEN LOOK
FOR MEXICAN BOOM

LAREDO, Tex, Feb. 26.-Amer-
lean business men have been pre-
pairing for a boom in Mexican bus
mess since regulations governing
expectation of food and general
supplies to Mexico have been mod
flied. Representatives of scores of
nationally known concerns have
passed through this border city re-
Gently to arrange for establishing
branch houses or distributing ware
houses in Mexico.
Business interests here believe
that within the next three months
all special export restrictions will
be removed and goods will pass
into Mexico as freely as before the
Mexican disturbances began. Re-
cent notifications have been so
extensive that the embargoes now
cover only a few conditions.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Feb.
&c. = Welfare organizations in
this and other countries and state
and government officials are close
iy watching the progress of the
missouri Children's Code" now
before the state legislature.
The code of 81 child welfare
laws drawn by a commission APP
pointed by Governor Gardner, is
said to be the most complete ever
offered for legislative action. Pro-
ponents express confidence of its
enactment.
Enactments of somewhat similar
codes repeating old laws, revising
others and containing new regula-
lions is being sought in many
states by the national committee
for standardizing children's laws,
which has the support of the ma
tional child labor committee. But
nothing has beer attempted on so
broad a scale and the outcome in
Missouri is awaited as somewhat
of a test case, according to Lucille
b. Lowenstein of the Missouri COM
mission.

ASK
FOR MATERIAL
BUT NO ARMY
SAY COUNTRY PREFERS TO
USE ITS OWN
FORCES

LONDON, Feb. "a. = Use of
only a small volunteer force of al
lied troops to maintain order in
the Ukraine is requested by the
representatives of Russian politi-
can organizations in London in a
statement issued here purporting
to set forth their views.
The statement expressly declares
that except for the assistance of
"a small allied detachment that
could be brought from the Black
sea to maintain order in the Uk-
raine, the Russians ask for no 81
lied troops at all, only for mater
ial. Russia is able and willing
and much prefers to rehabilitate
herself with her own forces"
They also ask for war material.
rifles and especially aircraft and
tanks. These, they say, should be
supplied to Russia's own army,
comprising 100000 men under Ad-
miral Kolchak, with headquarters
at Omsk, and another 100000
men under command of General
Denikine, who is reported to have
joined forces with those of the
Cossack leader on the Don, Gener-
al Kraznoff. The Russians appeal
also for moral allied support and
recognition so that B0lshevism
may be placed outside the pale of
society and declare that 'such a
announcement on the part of the
allies has yet been made,
but would have a tremendous in
fluence and Importance"
A plan of military operations
aimed at the BOlsheviki is suggest
ed by the Russian delegation. 1t
proposes that the forces of Admir-
al Kolchak and General Denikine
be joined> and adds that if this
we're done three-fOurths of the
task would be accomplished and
'the collapse of BOlshevism wdlld
be only a matter of weeks" The
next step proposed would be to
sever the Bolshevik cOmmunica-
tions between north and south
Russia. The Russian delegation
pointed out that General Denikine
is being assisted by the allies from
the Black sea, from which he raj
only six hours distant and they
asserted that as sOon as he had
enough material he would move
northani join Admiral KOlchak,
and move toward Tsaritsin, an
strategic center in south
eastern Russia.

REPUBLIC
DESPITE
NEW GERMANY
is VICE = PRIEST,
DENT OF GER
MANY
BERLIN. Feb. "a. V

BERLIN. Feb. "a. - Various
|spartacan republics which from
time to time were established in
Germany we're short-lived with the
execution of the socialist repub-
lie of Brunswick" which even
after the election throughout Ger
many continued to defy the CEN
trail government in every possible
manner and did not hesitate to in
suit the most exalted members OF
the Berlin cabinet. One Berlin
paper referred to the new state as
1.-THE Fools Republic of Bruins
wick"
The president of Brunswick is
named Betges. He left his aP-
premiership as a tailor and has
made an uncertain living as a
"bushelman." His wife still re-
.ains her position as an usher in
a Brunswick theater, and is quot
ed by her neighbors as having
said, None of my husbands plans
ever lasted very long, and it will
he the same with this one, so l am
keeping my job"
The vice-president of Brunswick
is a juggler, who was appearing
daily in a cabaret before the es-
Establishment of the republic" The
minister of education is a woman
named F%asshauer, who was once
a domestic servant, and later was
employed as a charwoman by a
woman's club. She then became
a %laundress.
The office of police president is
held by a locksmith, who, it is
said, objected to taking the place
because he had no faith in its per-
manency and who could only be
induced to accept it after his en-
ployer had promised to re-employ
him if he wanted it.
The government of Brunswick,
which holds power only by armed
force, and which is opposed by an
overwhelming majority of the peo-
pie, as proved by the result of the
national assembly election, has o
ganized a national guard and maj
rine division. These men receive
IA marks daily and found. This
sum is soon to be increased to II
marks. Large numbers of the un-
employed Joined the division be-
cause of the high pay. Quantities
of ammunition were collected in
the grand ducal palace and the
Spartacan rulers seemed deter
mined to defend their position by
force of arms.

details of the code. The proposed
laws will be debated from all an
giles by special committees of the
two houses before being brought

10 be impracticable, by the mercantile
section of the Chamber Of Commerce mt
it's meeting last evening
The main reason urged for the closing

employees to have that evening at home
an . part OF the holiday celebration; but
inasmuch as Christmas Eve if not particu-
larly observed by many who keep Christ
mas Day, and not at all by numerous

impossible 10 make such closing general.
In addition, a considerable proportion Of
the buying public likes 10 do ITS late
shopping on that evening.
Another matter taken up by the sec
tion was the establishment Of line OF
trucks between this city and New York
and points en- route. Tho chairman.
Elwood A. Davis, was instructed to ap-
point committee to consider the matter.
