BIG BRITISH COMBINE.
Will Control Coal Production of APP
proximately 100000 Tons Year.

London, Got. Is (By the Associated
Pressl,-D. r. Llewllyu, a young Welsh
mining engineer, is the talk of London
to-day because he is completing the most
important combination Of coal mines and
steel mills since the beginning Of the
war Its capital will be S30,000,0O0 and
it will control coal production of ap.
proximately 100000 tons year
Coal is our basic industry he says.
1T is more valuable than gold | am

chinery, and labor saving devices in the
coal industry viii pay as large dividends
to-day as at any time.
Il think that unless we can get the
miners back to a 4Shour week we are
going to have difficulty meeting our ex-
port demands. Unless the hours are in.
creased we shall produce only enough for
our own requirements.
"The argument that a man can be
epeeded up to produce the same quantity
in a shorter time Is rubbish, When the
miner was supposed OF be working eight
hours a day he was really only work
ing six"

ly without point, whatever the dialect
in which it may be spoken; but there
can be no question that there were giants
in those days. The mere fact that
Dixie" BY Dan Emmett was written az
chance blaekface walk around" is an
other evidence that living melodies were
created by the Ministries, while the more
significant fact that Stephen c. Foster
wrote his innumerable songs for min
strels is another star in their crown,
since in the opinion of many the Foster
melodies, including MY Old Kentucky
Home" and "Down Upon the Suwanee
River" have all the value of real folk
songs upon which Dvorak thought that
great natural art might be built.
True, In fragmentary way, the clog
and fancy dancing remain with us, even
if the ragtime and the soon song, ex-
tremey clever in their way and not to
be despised, are very much to the fore;
but the real minstrel show, with its
suggested intimacy Of group of black
faced friends coming in at evening TO
discuss the time of day and have good
frolic, as Brother Bones" and the in
terlocutor exchange opinions and the olio
unrolled itself, had quality which none
Of the modern coon acts" gives, They
do not create the atmosphere, for, if a
gastronomic comparison be possible, the
minstrel show was a sort of old-fash-
Toned satisfying, many -coursed meal,
well contrasted with piece de resist
ance in the screaming farce taking off
the folies of the day, while the usual
vaudeville performance, which may in
clude minstrel act just as it may turn
on grand opera" is a dinner made up
of entrees all equally highly spiced and
all claiming to be the real thing. Yes,

DREW NO STRONG HYP0CRlTE
acter From ShaIsespeare's Pages
Explained by English Novelist.

Material for discussion among those
who more or less know their Shake
speare has been provided by Sir Wal
ter Raleigh's suggestion OH the lecture
platform that Shakespeare created 10
complete and carefully drawn figure
of hypOcrite because the dramatist
had had free and happy childhood.
1T Is the child" says Sir Walter, "who
sees hypocrites;" and so. as one fol-
lows the argument at second hand in
the column of n newspaper, Dickens,
who haG hnrsher childhood. was
more impressed by hypocrisy. and later
wrote about hypocrites. One suspects,
however, that there may be readers
who will deny that Shakespeare failed
to include the hypocrite In his remark

Hypocrisy certainly figures; one has
ally to recall the behavior of Gloster

Sir Walter no doubt has ground for
his conviction that the plays contain
no figure dominated by 1t.

GERMANS MAY REFUSE TO SIGN
PROTOCOL, 1T is
REPORTED.
STATEMENT BY NOSKE
MINISTER OF DEFENSE OPPOSES
ACCEPTANCE OF ALLIES
TERMS.
western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London. Dec. s.-Gustav Noske, min
lister of defense, is determined not to
sign the peace protocol handed Ger
man. by the entente, and is resolved
to recommend that the government
adopt his attitude, come what may, ac-
cortling to an interview with NOske.
II can not speak for the whole gov
ernment, because 1t has not yet come
TO n decisiOn,' said Noske. But
shall recommend refusal to sign the
peace treaty protocol.
1.-THE limit has long been reached.
Let ehe allies occupy the country If
they like. The peace now presented
to us is not peAce, but II prolongatlon
of the war.
Were such Il treaty accepted the
German nation would rise up and
avenge itself upon the men who signed
it and 1t would be right. Great Britain
and France are deliberately planning
the destruction of Germany. All the
confidence I ever had in the pledges
of the allies is gone forever.
"By deceit and trickery the British
and French governments are working
up opinion in their countries to Grip
pie Germany still further beyond the
crushing effect of the first treaty. We
have yielded too often, and now must
resist. Let the allies do what they
please"
The correspondent says that, al
though Noslle carefully emphasized
that he was only defining his own po-
sition, his words agreed with the in
tention ascribed to the other members
of the cabinet.
The two straws which Noske rep
resents as having broken the back of
German endurance, says the corre-
spondent, are the demand for dock and
harbor material and the protocol EN-
powering the allies to enforce the ex-
ecution of the peace treaty.
The correspondent says that during
his talk with Noske he suggested that
IL the Germans had not sunk the war
ships in the Scapa Flow, the demand
of the allies for tugs and docks would
not have been made. To this, he says,
Noske replied:
"Oh, yes, they would. The British
would have invented some pretext.
Great Britain is out to cripple Ger
many and demands our last dredges
and cranes SO as to prevent the re-
vival of our mercantile marine"
