the British interests with the native

nlizstion. He was supported by Frank
Hodges and William Brace OF the Min
ers' Federation, the latter president OF
the South Wales Miners Federation
and formerly Under Secretary for Home
Affairs in the Asquith Cabinet.
The situation is commented upon spec
uatively in the light of the railroad
strike, opinions differing as to whether
the country may be called upon to face
another period OF industrial turmoil or
whether the miners will adopt less dras-
tic tactics. The Maii's labor correspon-
dent writes:
SHOULD the Government prove obdu-
rate II is quite possible the nation will
find itself in a few days in a position
of even greater menace than II faced
last week."
Elsewhere the view Is taken there IA
not likely to be resort to another
lightning strike" and that a ballot Of
the miners throughout the country will
be held before anything decisive lie done.
1t is understood that the opinions Of
members of the executive committee Of
the Miners Federation are sharply dis
vided, some deprecating strong action
following the recent industrial upheaval
while the extremists are said to favor az
immediate strike.

PARIS, Oct 9.-Great commotion has

by the recall of Gen. Mangin and his

French army on the Rhine. Gen. Gou-

command of the French armies in the

Goutte at the head OF the allied armies

The recall of Gen. Mangin seems to

this is taken to mean that the Foch
party has lost out In the effort to foster
the Rhine separation movement. Gen.
MPngin has been closely identified with
