NATION IS IMPER|LED
ALL RESOURCES BROUGHT INTO
ACTION TO PREVENT RUIN.
TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOU
SAND MEN STRIKE IN
ENGLISH MINES.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London, July 24.-The coal strike
in Britain brings the most serious
threat to industry that has happened
since the country went to war in
1914.
The transfer of troops to the col
~lieries for the protection of bumpers
drafted from the navy has aroused
high feeling among the miners, who
are determined to bring about govern
ment ownership.
Sir Eric Geddes, who is on the
scene, says that the government Is de-
termined to use all the OF
the state, whether they are the re-
sources of citizens or the armed forces
of the crown, to prevent ruin to the
community.
The threatened flooding Of the
mines, he said, will aust vast un-
employment, and for many months will
stop the output of coal, entailing the
ruin of the principal industries Of the
country.
Sir Eric went so far as to state that
the life of the nation Is at stake, an
those who advocated stopping pump
ing did not realize what they might
bring on.
Sir Erie Geddes went to Leeds with
Il retinue of officials, but announced
his mission was only for the prOtec-
ton of the mines against flooding and
for the direction Of sailors engaged in
pumping.
Soldiers will be used to protect the
sailors working at the mines. The
use of the military for any purposes
in connection with strikes Is a policy
which the unions oppose bitterly and
have made their opposition one OF the
chief planks in their platform.
The disclosure by a labor paper re
Gently of a secret circular which the
war office sent to Officers, asking
what would be the attitude of the sol
diers in the event they were called
upon for strike breaking, has pro-
duced a great sensation in laboF
circles.

Confesses Killing Child.

Chicngo.-Thomas Fitzgerald, watch
man at the Virginia hotel, aged 30 and
married, has confessed to the police he
killed little Janet Wilkinson, 9 years
old, a neighbOr's child, by %strangling
her. He accompanied the police to his
home and showed them where he had
concealed the body beneath some coal
under the basement steps and ii was

terry, which has stirred Chicago as few
police cases have aroused the populace,
came when Fitzgerald, after five sleep
less days and nights called for an Of

TERMS.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

aus "''f -"
allied message to the Hungarian peo-
pie, promising a lifting of the block
ade and food relief If a government
with which the peace conference
could deal was substituted for the
the Bella Kun government, the Paris
newspapers make the point that this
action by the Supreme Council is tan
tamount to breaking off all negotia-
tons with the Hungarian government
as at present constituted.
Paris.-A strong arraignment of the
present Hungarian government is CON
tanned in the allied statement just is
sued in which II was made to the Hun
garian people that they could only OBJ
tain a removal of the blockade and
receive food supplies if they ousted
Bella Kun and set up a truly represen-
tatiye The text of the
statement follows:
THE allied and associated govern
ments are most anxious to arrange n
peace with the Hungarian people ana
thus bring to an end a condition of
things which makes the economic re-
yival of central Europe possible and
defeats any attempt to secure sup
plies for its population.
These tasks can not even be at
tempted until there Is In Hungary a
government which represents its peo-
pie and carries out in the letter
and the spirit the engagements into
which it has entered with the asso-
ciated governments.
.None of these conditions is full
filled by the administration of Bella
Kun, which has not only broken the
armistice to which Hungary was
pledged, but is at this m actu-
ally attacking a friendly and allied
power.
with this particular aspect of the
question it is for the associated gov
ernments to deal on their W respon'
sibility. If food and supplies are to
be made available, If the blockade Is
to be removed, II economic reconstruc'
ton is to be attempted, If peace is to
be settled, il can only be done with a
government which represents the Hun
garian people and not with one that
rests Its authority upon terrorism.
The associated powers think 1t op
perfume to add hat all foreign occupa'
ton of Hungarian territory, as de
fined by the peace conference, viii
cease as soon as the terms of the ar
mistice have, In the opinion OF the
allied commander-ln-chief, been salts
