EMERGENCY MEASURES IN
VIEW OF MINERS STRIKE

LONDON, Oct. 16-Final prepa-
rations for the expected strike Of
100000 British coal miners tonight
were being made throughout the
United Kingdom today. Emergency
measures recommended by the gov
ernment were being perfected by the
local authorities and there seemed to
be a disposition on the part of the
government, the miners federation
and the neople generally to carry on
long stern battle to settle definitely
the issue upon which the miners have
decided to walk out While there was
an air Of quiet confidence on the part
of the ~eople there were apprehen-
sions that the strike might bring
about a critical situation in British
industries generally. Large stocks Of
coal have been accumulated and mi
vate customers have laid in supplies
but the public has been informed that
rigid economy will be necessary
Many large industrial concerns have
considered at least martial shut
down and this movement may develo'
into one of The most serious phases
of the strike.

BOUGHT BICFARM
But DEp0RTED
AS lLLITERATE
RAYMOND Labbee Returned
to ThetfOrd Mines AS
Undesirable

Claiming that he had purchased in
South Albany an $4,000 farm of 285
acres, with 40 milk cows, with all
modern agricultural machinery,
including a tractor, RAYMOND Labbee,
q French Canadian formerly of Thet-
ford Mines, Que, was today deported
by United States Immigration offici-
ais as an illiterate and undesirable
citizen. Although he professed to be
a man Of substantial means and to be
the owner of large touring car in
Thetfold Mines, his alibis were not
sufficient to convince the vigilant and
shrewd government officials and Lab
bee was forced to abandon Uncle
Sans stamping ground.
In spite of Labbee's plea that his
wife could read and write, and that
there was Il school teacher in his
family and that his Young children
were all provided with such education
as became their years on account Of
his own lamentable disability Ia de-
cipher the English LANGUAGE or any
other language, the lucklesS imm-
grant must return to the place
whence he came,
FRIDAY afternoon a car OF STOCK
in transit by way Of the "W eigh
Freight from Sherbrooke, Que, to
Newport, intended to su"nly Labbec's
new farm in Albany, was set out at
Beebe Junction, awaitinq the out
come of tie inquiry into his desir-
ability as an American citizen. But
the officials have declared that the
car OF stock also must be sent back
to Canada.
Labbee' case is a fair example of
the stor;cs that immigrants tell the
officials in desperate effort to quail
ifv as suitable newcomers. The i'm
migration officers must listen to all
Of these sob tales and take them with
a grain OF salt After the truth has
been disscctcd, it is often only a mat
ter Of formality before the stranger
lands back on his own familiar soil

THE DRAMA Bernard Shaw's Play, "Heartbreak House"
 Recently Produced.
By MRS. B. F. WILKINSON

, sensible people who can enjoy hearty laugh at their unreal but not ~~ ~hinka ble selves
 The Spectator: "Of course we under stand MT. Shaws methods. A keel and ready philosopher. his characters congregations, his situations, farcical Heartbreak House is cross betweei d harlequinade and lenten sermon. PRESENTED IN NEW RORK The Theatre guild, an organization which is a great asset to New York which produced St. John Ervine's "Joh. Ferguson" and other successes, an or ganization. of whose work l expect write later in this column, produced this play few days ago. It was notable event, the first presentation on any stage of "Heartbreak House, and from the concensus of New York press reports was a most creditapl achievement. The author allows nc tampering with the text, so the pla. was given exactly as written. The out standing character is Captain Shotoyer ! It is he who utters the words of wisdom that fashion the moral of the play. The New York Times says: One almos sees the clear, honest eyes of Bernard Shaw, peering out from behind the thin disguise of the character of Captain Shotover, a slightly mad old mariner, whom the natives suspect of the abilita to explode dynamite by looking at it. Zoe Beckley. noted newspaper cor respondent and magazine writer, told me recently when we were discussing "Heartbreak House" and it's forthcom ing production, that some months ago in London she met MT. Shaw and talkeJ with him. finding him very courteoua kind and agreeable.
 He told her how he conceived of the queer character of Captain Shotoyer. Twas through the English actress manager, Miss Lena Ashwell who told him of an eccentric incorrigible old uncle of hers, who once when offered the bread at the sacramental altar said to the priest, T cant eat this bread without cheese!
 MT. Shaw laughed so heartily, so uproariously that Miss Ashwen said to him, T am much gratified to see you laugh MT. Shaw. I always felt there was something funny about that in cident"
 Thus Zoe Beckley tells me the idea of the character of Captain Shotoyei was born in the dramatist's mind. Read sample of the comedy.
 Mrs. Hushabye calls to her husband,
 Hector Hushabye, and to her father Captain Shotover, Come back, both of you, Money is running short H-Money! Where are my April divi- dends?
 Mrs H.--Where is the snow that fell last winter?
 Captain .H.-Where is all that money you had from the patent lifeboat I invented?

During the war we preferred tc ignore George Bernard Shaw, in fact England put an embargo upon the grea' Irishman's utterances. The British press refused to print word from his active pen.
 Says Mir. Shaw, T gave offense by keeping my head in this matter of wal by taking a common sense view of 1t British blockade was a factor in win ming the war. The wonder to me is that British blockhead did not lose il So what can Ian lrishman-do, bu' apologize and publish this play now that it can no longer do any good? :? And so, for some months, the book oi Shaws plays called "Heartbreak House Great Catherine and other playlets oi the war; has been available.
 "Heartbreak House" be it known, is Europe civilized, inert Europe as it was preceding the great war. MT. Shaw says in the very in teresting preface that this play was begun before shot had been fired and only the few knew the guns were loaded" It is a bitter indictment oi Europe. He uses big club, or as one critic has it, "a mallet as big as 2 lamp post"
 MT. Shaw believes and plainly tells them that had a few men and womer with brains Ca heml like himself. fol instance) taken the tangled affairs oi state in hand, instead of turning then over to the incompetent, the politicians country squires and grocers who are elected to Parliament, there would have been no need of war.
 Is it possible that Bernard Shaw saw perhaps more clearly than any European the inevitable disaster ahead
 It was interesting to me, after read ing Heartbreak HLdse'' to look uI notices from the British press concern ing it, knowing. of course, that Eng. land is very proud of her gifted sor and. is disposed to- treat him as g genius. with all the caprices of genius She does not herself, nor believe tho public will take him too seriously. The London Times says of the play: "Th. old Shavian bitter-sweet is there, for all who like it--that is to say, for all
