LONDON. Oct. 27.-Within the last
few weeks a feeling has come over
Europe that an understanding must be
reached at once on a postwar policy
regarding trade with Germany ard
Russia. In fact. there is almost daily
evidence that this understanding has
becn practically reached already, and
it means that Germany is back in the
old commercial family again in as full
membership as possible with her linn
tied supplies and external credit han
dicsps.
There is no getting away from the
actual facts. no matter how much the
English and French public would rke
to avoid buying anything German, and
the facts are that Germany has opti-
cal goods, machines. toys, chinaware
and pianos that cannot be obtained
elsewhere. Such goods are finding
their way out OF Germany in large
quantities, although not with the old
Made in Germany" label.
America, England, France and Italy
during the war labelled nearly every
thing with the name Of the country in
which it was made. with the result that
nearly every article now purchased
shows its nationality.
German manufacturers. noting this
have adopted a new policy, and one
ply leave their goods without marks
France is carrying on heavy trade with
Germany, and in some cases even buying
important commodities from her which
she formerly bought in England. This
is due TO the exchange rate. francs being
at a discount I'm London and at a big pre-
mium in Germany. French manufac.
turers are able to save from so to rs per
cent on consignments OF goods in which
Germany specializes.
1t is only recently that England would
countenance any imports from Germany
whatever, but it is now realized that
Germany has not the large quantities OF
goods stored that she was reported TO
have for the purpose OF flooding foreign
markets after the war. So the policy
toward Germany has taken more definite
shape. She will have no opportunity for
dumping either in France or England
but the goods she can advantageously
supply without irksome competition with
the home trade are already being i'm
ported. There is constant discussion
among lawmakers however, assuring the
commercial world that If Germany be-
gins a trade war by dumping, steps will
he taken to stop II.
AS regards Russia. British msnufac-
turers are convinced that with that
country's raw materials and their own
manufacturing resources the two coun.
tries could work together to great
mutual advantage. An economic mission
to Russia has been suggested. Getting
the railways of Russia in shape again
, is the present great problem and it is
not unlikely that when n semblance o:
calm is restored British capital will take
an active hand in repairing and rebuild
ing the roads. This would solve the food
problem in Russia, which il largely one
of transportation, and Cca" the way for

PARIS. Oct. 27.-The return of the
Rumanian and Serbian delegations
with demands fer changes in the con-
ventions for the protection of minori-
ties has again brought up one of the
most vexing problems Of the Peace
Conference. These conventions, giving
the league council the right to inter
fere in international affairs of these
two Balkan nations, have been the
subject of bitter controversy ever since
the idea was originally put forth here
by President Wilson, and have been
the cause of the refusal of both ma
tions to sign the Austrian treaty as
well as the conventions themselves.
In both countries changes of Gov
ernments have taken place which have
resulted in delegations returning here
all the more insistent upon modifica-
tions being made in this plan to put
the treatment of their nationals in the
hands of the league. The Rumanians,
in a note, are understood to have made
the strongest protest against giving
the right to interfere to the league
council, or to take steps concerning
the question of giving equal rights TO
Jews or other minorities when Grear
Britain has agreed to no such stipu-
lation in the case of Ireland or the
United States in the case of the negro.
Both they and the Serbs are insisting
that instead of helping them TO become
strong States the conference by this
league prohibition has paved the way
Tor their disorganization through in
ternal quarrels. Furthermore it is con-
tended that it will result in interminable
controversies for the league council and
that the United States will be drawn
into these Balkan controversies because
of its membership in the league council
Article XI. OF the Serbian convention
on which the controversies turn, is COM
ing in for closer scrutiny than at first
with the resultant discovery that 1t con-
tains provision that would require the
United States, as In the German treaty
to give up its sovereignty in favor OF
the league council and to abide by the
will of the latter. This article reads:
1.-The Serbian Croat Slovene State
agrees that the stipulations, as far as
they affect persons belonging to racial
religious or linguistic minorites, con-
stitute obligations of international con-
Germ and shall be placed under the
League of Nations. They shall not be
modified without the consent of the
league. The United States, Great Brit
ain. France. Japan and Italy hereby
agree not to withhold assent from any
modification of these articles which is
in due form assented to by majority
of the council OF the league"
This means that the United States
engages in advance to accept any
changes which the majority may vote

SPRiNGFIELD, H.. Oct. 27-John Il.
Lewis, acting president OF the United
Mine Workers of America, sent tele-
graphic invitations tonight to TWEEN
ty-f1ve district presidents of coal pro-
ducing States and members of the
miners scale committee asking them
to meet with the international eXecu-
tive board at 10 O'Clock Wednesday to
consider the strike situation. The
principal and perhaps the only reason
for the calling of the conference was
the demand Of President Wilson that
the union officials rescind the strike
order which would stop the production
of soft coal in the United States.
Lewis said tonight that he is ready
to leave Springfield early tomorrow
morning for indianapolis to assume d.
rect control of the strike, which Is
scheduled to begin Friday at midnight
He declared also that the strike order
had not been rescinded and that the
miners would walk out as scheduled.
president Wilson can't inumidate
me-" he said. IF the strike comes it
will be settled not by the Government
nor by the army with soldiers working
the mines. The strike will be ended by
the United Mine Workers of America. 81

Says Operators Must Yield.

Nothing but negotiations by the mine
operators can prevent the strike Mr..
Lewis declared. BY negotiations he
does not mean arbitration, but that the
mine operators must agree to yield
something to the miners demands.
There have been no recent develop
ments," said Mr.. Lewis tonight The
situation is unchanged. We nave been
willing and are now to enter into i'm
mediate negotiations with the operators
without reservations for the purpose OF
averting this strike. The strike can be
averted. What is necessary is that the
Government induce the operators to rec
ognize the necessity OF being guided by
the law OF reason and justice. Our pol
icy has the unanimous sanction Of the
members of the organization. President
Wilson to the contrary Notwithstanding.
Poorly veiled threats to force the
miners TO continue work have been
widely heralded. This in itself will not
avert the strike. Neither will threats
tc imprison or jail myself or my ass
ciates have any effect"

ALIGHT|NG PLATFORMS FORECAST FROM
WHICH AIRPLANES SHALL COME And GO

Like any soaring bird Of prey, an
airplane must be IL motion before 1t
can fly. 1t must run along the ground
before it can vault into the sky. writes
Carl Dienstbach, in Popular Science
Monthly. But that is not all: it must
make its running start in the face
of the wind. This explains why it is
possible to conflne condor or vul-
ture in a narrow cage open at the
top.
You can see from this that the
problem Of flying to and from your
office in New York or Chicago re-
duces itself to the providing of suit
able platforms on which you can a

and from which you can start. Clear

or architecture, lend themselves about

ing must adapt itself to the wind as
must as ice-boating.
Would Be Wrecked
Even if a flying machine could vault
into the air from one of the canyons
in the Wall street district of lower
New York. it would be dashed to
pieces against the tall buildings on
either side.
In order to avoid a catastrophe in
starting from a street, the wind must
blow exactly in the right direction not
only during the preliminary run but
also for another minute or so. Within
a city, airplanes must land and start
above the roofs. Skyscrapers must be
avoided as if they were mountains.
There is clearly nothing for it but
to use the roofs-a suggestion that
has been made time and time again
But this means either a building with
, very large roof or a number of build
ings of uniform height connected by
common roof Suppose a number
of buildings could so be connected by
a roof. Obviously, the common con
Meeting roof must not cut off ligh

form of iron grating, light and strong
suggests itself.

Pole Star Light Takes

civilian Joseph Showalter, IN Nation
FL Geographic Magazine).
The star at the bend Of tho handle
Of the Great Dipper is known as Mi
gar. Insignificant though 1t looks
n its smallness, 1t radjates more than
100 times as much light as the sun
and is nearly 100000 times as far
away. Its light has to travel three
quarters Of q century to reach the

Shining down upon us from point
almost midway between the zenith
and the northern horizon in the lati-

its glory. Yet it is so distant that

1t was supposed to be a double star,
but the newer high power telescopes
reveal that the brighter Of the two
companions has a closer companion

In the zenith is Vega, the blush

shines down with beautiful brilliancy
from the constellation Lyra, the Harp
Any doubt in identifying Vega, other

Prehistoric Wall is
Discovered in Ohio

In exploring mound in Licking
county recently there was uncovered a
stone wall. 1t was three feet high,
and enclosed an area of sixteen feet
square. The wall was made Of blocks
Of flint laid on each other without &C.
ment Of any kind, and was pretty well
constructed.
This is, we believe, the second piece
OF prehistoric masonry discovered in
this country. In another mound was
found bit Of paving-a number of
fat stones having been laid to form a
sort of floor or hearth. This wall and
the small area of stone pavement is all
the masonry the mound builders or
Indians ever did. so far as present in
dications show. And this in a country
where loose rocks were to be found in
abundance or where the labor Of quar-
rying them was slight: indeed. flat
rocks may be had in many regions on
top Of the earth without quarrying at
oil.
