London, July Oath. The expectation
OF. Cardiff coal has been stopped by a
Govt. order issued today.
Washington, July 24th.-The immedi-
ate sale of one hundred and twenty mil
lion dollars worth of the surplus stock of
foodstuffs held by the War Department,
under a plan which will insure the OPP
portunity for the people of the United
States to buy, has been recommended by
ten Republican members OF the House
War Investigation Commission.
London, July oath. The whole force
of the Govt. will be exerted to protect
the people from any undue pressure, Mr..
Bonar Law told the House of Commons
today when asked what was being done
regarding the confusion and disorder re-
sulting from the dockworkers and miners
strikes. The Govt, he added, was well
aware that 6here are a number of people,
not a very large number fortunately, who
were aiming at the destruction of our
social and political system. AS to the
agitators, he said, the Govt. was not
overlooking these people and will do
whatever it thinks effective for that pur-
pose. He realised that there is a great
deal of discomfort due to protlteerlng,
or the belief in profiteering and the Govt.
certainly intends to take whatever action
possible, before the Committee which
is now Considering the subject makes it
report.
London, July oath. Since the signing
Of the armi3tice the Admiralty had can
celIed orders for the construction of 326
ships, resulting in the saving of 8142-
600, 900. This announcement was made
dlring the course of the Naval debate
in the House of Commons tonight by
Dr.. Mcnamara. Mr.. Long, First Lord of
the Admiral ty, had previously announced
that when the armistice was concluded
there were 302 warships and 8O6 auxllla-
ries on order, while at the present time
there were being COMPLETED "a warshlps
and 100 auxiliaries mainly to replace old
ships or to meet the ravages OF the war
TNe announcement of these economies

IN SHIPS anu men drew expressions OF
surprise and qualification from some
members, including Sir Donald Mac Lean
who welcomed such clear signs that the
Navy was accommodating itself to the
new conditions. Mr.. George Lambert,
Liberal, expressed his earnest hope that
there would never be a British Naval
Policy Bill against the United States.
London, July oath. The decision by
the Govt. that not more than two hun
dred pounds of coal may be delivered at
any private residence weekly, threatens
the stoppage of coal deliveries in London
except in urgent cases. Coal dealers
say they cannot deliver such small guam
titles, as it would take twenty trips to
deliver the usual load being tons. Much
of the cooking done in London is depen-
dent on coal.
Paris, July 25th- Croatian troops have
proclaimed an independent Croatian Re-
public, according 10 dispatches from
Agram, the capital, and at several
points the GrOatians are fraternizing
with the Hungarian soldiers. Despatch
es from Agram and Gratz report a seri-
Gus revolt which is taking the form of
a movement for PREPARATION from Serbia
and the formation Of a Republic. The
troops are leaving their units, officers
and subalterns and tearing off their
insignia and the army is in a state of
dissolution, the railways, and telegraphs
are tied up. The Secbians are trying
to suppress the revolution by the use
of troops comprised Of both Serbians
and Croatians. The movement started
at a Socialist meeting where the speak
ers advocated the formation of a Re
public of Jugo-Stavia, and the Slovenian
and Croatain soldiers, who were present
in considerable numbers, cried Let US
separate from Serbia.
London, July 24th-In order to ex-
haust all sources of information regard
ing the fate of officers and men miss
ing in Belgium and Northern France
during the war, the Government has
decided to despatch a special mission
to the Continent to make an extensive
tour throughout the country districts
and to conduct enquiries among peas
ants, parish priests and other classes
of the population likely to have been in
touch with men hiding in occupied ter
ritory. The members of the mission
are Dame Elaine Livingston, Sir NAL
colin McIlwraith and Brigadier Gene
raj G. G.. Bruce. Any recent Information
likely to be Of service to the Commission
and not previously communicated to a

minister, London.
London, July 24th:-In the House of
Commons this afternoon Mr.. Bonar Law
said there was no change in the coal sit
uation, except that there had been ac-
cessions to the ranks of the strikers in
the Nottingham Districts. The GoVt's.
statement made it clear that the Sankey
report must be adhered to and that an
average of 1879 increase in piece rates
must be the basis of arrangements. This
was not a question between the employ
ers and the workmen, and he explained
that under the present rangemen the
employers profits were guaranteed, and
any increase must be borne by the State.
The employers, he said, had agreed to an
increase of IA. $50, but the coal controllers
could not agree to this, as it was the
State, and not the employers who would
have to pay it. The pumping situation
in the Yorkshire mines today, he pro
nounced, was satisfactory, with the ex-
ception of n i important mine. Hundreds
of sailors were now manning the mine
pumps without interference, and after ton
was being given to the operations of the
ventilation system on properties in York
shire where the fans had been stopped
since the strike began. Sir Eric Geddes,
who is on the representing the Govt,
had received satisfactory replies from
the Lord Mayors Of Leeds and other
municipalities, who he asked yesterday
to see that the supply OF coal was econ.
omised. The supply at Leeds was vir-
tually orsted and the outlook for
household was serious. All the Miners
in the North Staffordshire District which
were idle yesterday because of the
strike resumed operations today.
Cardiff, Wales, July 25th.-The Order
%forbidding the export Of coal has been
withdrawn.
London, July 25th.-The Adamson Bill,
which provides for the giving of the
franchise to women on the same terms as
men, but only at the age Of 80 years, was
dropped by the House of Lords last even
ing.
New York, July 25th.-The President of
the AmericanSteamship Association an
nounced this afternoon, after a confer
ence with the Wage Committee of the or
ganization, that information had been
received through an intermediary that
the leaders of the Marine Workers Uni
ons which are on strike have waived the
demand for the closed shop. If this is
true, he declared, there was every reason
to believe the strike will he settled in a
few hours.
