THINK STRIKE IS
 NEARING END
Influences Brought to Bear on Coal Miners-Many Workers Anxious to Return to Mines No Disorders Anywhere.

Washington, Nov. 3-Official Wash ington was firm in the belief tonight that the end of the coal strike was near.
 There was nothing definite or tan- gible in the way of actual develop ments to justify this hopeful view of the situation, but everywhere the feel ing prevailed that influences were be- ing brought to bear to have the strikers, numbering more than 400,- 900, return to work
 Confidential reports to the Depart ment of Justice from it's agents in the coal fields were said to show many defections from the ranks of the strikers. Some of the reports said that large numbers of idle miners had declared they wanted to return to work, but were afraid to do so.
 In this connection officials reiter- ated that adequate protection would be given. There was no specific state ment as to how this would be pro- vided, but it was explained that troops would be available at the call of any governor who believed it necessary to preserve order or protect workers.
 Scattered reports from the fields, reaching into 28 states, showed the first breaks in the ranks of organized labor in West Virginia and Colorado, advices to Washington headquarters of the operators said that all non-un- ion mines were working to ful capac- ity and turning out considerably more coal than on Saturday. Some of the operators reports said that union men had gone to work in non-union mines, and that there was growing senti ment that the men themselves should have had the right to vote on the strike before it was ordered.
 This information, to large extent, was in line with that received by the government, especially as to defec- tions. Officials said the strikers real ized public sentiment was against them, and some labor leaders were taking this view.
 Atty. Gen. Palmer, handling the main end of the governments case, went to visit his home in Pennsyl- vania tonight, feeling, it was said, that the crisis might be over before Saturday, the day on which the tenn porary injunction restraining officers of the miners organization from ac- tivity was made returnable. Asked what the government would do that day, an official said:
 "We will not cross that bridge un- til we get to it."
 The fact that no disorder was re- ported anywhere by Department of Justice agents was taken as good sign that conditions were hopeful, and that the miners realized it was a time for sober judgment and action. Sew eral miners meetings were scheduled for tonight in the coal fields and 1t was thought here that these might have an important bearing on the general situation.

NO DATE FIXED
 FOR TREATY VOTE
Fear Fight May Lead to Con- tinuing Deadlock Hitchcock Wanted Vote This Week, and Lodge Suggested Nov. 15.

Washington, Nov. 3.-Further indi- cation that the peace treaty fight may lead to continuing deadlock devel- oped today while the Senate leaders were trying in vain to fix a definite date for roll call on ratification.
 Administration senators, suggest ing that the final vote be taken this week, indicate purpose to defeat ratification by combining with the treaty's irreconciliable opponents should the reservations adopted py the foreign relations committee be written into the ratification resolu- tion.
 Whether the administration forces then could present an alternate reso- lution under the Senate rules was brought into question by the Republi- can leaders, who predicted that even if such resolution got consideration it, too. would be voted down.
 An hour of debate on the subject got nowhere, and the Senate went back to it's consideration of treaty amendments. It may reach vote tomorrow on that by Senator LaFol- lette, Republican, Wisconsin, to strike out the labor provisions and then un- less some new plan is devised to hasten action, other amendments and a long list of proposed reservations will be taken up under the tedious rule of unlimited debate.
 The administration proposal for vote this week was presented by Sen ator Hitchcock of Nebraska, the Dem- ocratic leader, after he had blocked one by Republican Leader Lodge calling for final vote on Nov. 15. A final vote" on that date, declared Mir. Hitchcock, would mean that the only opportunity for a showdown on a ratification must come on a resolu- tion drawn up by the treaty's ene- mics and containing reservations un- acceptable to the administration sen- ators.
 Mr.. Lodge in turn, blocked the ad- ministration programme, which would have provided vote Thursday on the committee resolution with it's re- servations and would have left Fri day and Saturday for consideration of any compromise resolution agreed on by the Democrats and the mild reservation" Republicans. To open the way for such move after rati- fication vote had been taken would mean upsetting Senate rules entirely, Mir. Lodge declared, adding that if the treaty's friends voted against rati- fication with the committee reserva- tions they would place the treaty Gin grave danger"

quested that he be given the position
of village school teacher. as there was
not other way left for him to support
himself and family. The request was
granted. Further investigations show
that many of the teachers were Grip
pied soldiers. and people who could
carry on their occupation while teach
ing. such as cobblers, or indentured
servants. Men took up school teach
ing as a last resort. No special
qualifications were required. The
schools were necessarily poorly taught
and managed.
The school teacher Of today must
meet certain educational qualifica-
tions and have teachers certificate.
In some states considerable normal
training is required. Teachers are
trained and fitted for their positions,
They are more capable and more high.

made by fish pirates to shoot him and by religious fanaticism, Carl Meldahl Watchman on one of the traps of the George T. Myers Company on Tena- kee Inlet, evaded men that were watching him and ran into the woods near the cOmpany's cannery at Sitkoh bay nearly two weeks ago, according to word brought to Juneau. Search ing parties which secured the sur rounding country were unable to find any trace of him. Meldah was first thought to be out of his mind when he was found walking up and down the beach near the trap he was watch ing, saying that the pirates were gO- ing to get him. He was taken in charge and brought to the cannery at Sitkoh bay. Later as they were about to leave to give Meldahl medi- cal attention, he was left alone for about five minutes, and during that time escaped into the woods. The man was a religious fanatic and be- lieved that his end had come and that nothing could save him. Meldahl is survived by a wife and five grown children.

Word brought to Juneau by H. l..

The Gambler Bay Washington Bay and other canner- ies are working. Similar word was brought from lower Chatham strait. However the salmon pack of this sec- tiOn of Alaska is only about 50 per cent of the average that has been Ob- tained the first of August for the last several years. None of the canneries are getting full pack. Word from Ketchikan, the Alaskan peninsula. and Bristol bay districts is also dis appointing to the packers. It is said the Yakutat bay pack is good.

Voltaire could write sarcastically
and bitterly about women, and
everything else. But he was
brave, loyal man. Read Parton's
Life of Voltaire," or the more
modern life by Tallentyre, and see
how Voltaire stuck by his friend
Emile when her baby was born.
1t was not his baby, but that made
no difference as long as Voltaire's
friend was In trouble. He refused
to visit Frederick the Great OF
Prussia, saying he would not leave
a friend that might soon die. AS
a matter of fact, poor Emile du
Chatelet did die, in child birth, and
old Voltaire, alone, took the trou-
bic to go when the baby was
buried.
You will be interested in every
page of Voltaire's life, in the sight
of him composing with Madame
du Chatelet a treatise on Newtons
theory, acting on the stage in his
own plays, and making the actors
laugh, going as a boy with his
good father, the Abbe de Cha
teauneuf, to visit the famous Ninon
de PEnclos, who left him two thou
sand francs to buy books, quarrel
ing with Frederick the Great, and
mocking his miserable French ac-
cent, with a hundred thousand
bayonets around him. hopping
from France to Switzerland, and
from Switzerland back into France,
to avoid persecution, making a
fight with terrific courage against
the brutalHies that broke an old
man on the wheel on false charges,
and all his life lodging, cleyerly,
but dangerously close, the rack and
other punishment.

XII of Sweden. especially the chap

Read Voltaire's 'Micromegas,"
story Of the huge creature that
came from a planet revolving
around the dog star. In that story
there is enough wit and ingenuity
to equip half dozen modern writ

esting and extraordinary astron-
omical prophecy. Voltaire wrote
that his travellers, through inter-
stellar space "coasting along the
planet Mars, described two moons
