BY EDWARD W. PIcKARD.

Excepting for our presidential cam
paign. of whose closing days there is
little or nothing to say. the affairs of
Great Britain supplied the most inter
esting and important news Of the
week. The strike OF the coal miners.
with its threats of further and greater
economic troubles, added to the Irish
problem, gave the British enough TO
worry over and these two matters con
tinued to draw the attention, sympa-
thetic or otherwise, of the English
speaking world.
Prime Minister Lloyd George and
his cabinet we're unremitting In their
efforts to settle the miners strike, and
on Thursday II was announced that
they had succeeded. II the miners
would accept the plan. After repeated
conferences with the labor leaders
tentative agreement was reached.
The settlement upon which the min
ers' delegates. coal mine owners, and
the government are agreed is very
complicated one. Briefly the men get
a sliding advance of two shillings TO
one shilling six pence, according to
age as was originally demanded.
The miners and owners solemnly
pledge TO cooperate to secure an in
creased output of coal. National and
district committees are TO be estab-
lilshed Immediately to control the out
put and a joint national wage board
will be established at the earliest pos
sble time before March 81 for regula-
tion of wages for the whole Industry,
with regard TO profits of the industry
and the principles on which profits
should be dealt with.
The miners executive committee was
TO submit the settlement TO the miners
federation for approval, so the return
of the men to the pits will not be de-
layed.
The railway men and transport
workers, in view Of the hopeful char
acter of the negotiations, postponed
any action looking 10 sympathetic
strike.
Though very optimistic, the govern
nleht inuue Teduy lor All CohtihsehOlSs
by rushing through to final passage It's
emergency bill, This arms the govern
ment with added powers to enforce
the law In case the strike continues
and the rail and transport men be
come involved. Though II was passed
by large majority. some concessions
were demanded and received by the Ia
Dor party. The law as enacted pro
vides that nothing In the act shall be
construed as authorizing the procla
nation Of any form of compulsory mil
itary service or industrial cOnscrip
ton or make II an offense for any per
son to participate In strike or peace
fully persuade any other person t6

For the first time since he was

dent Wilson delivered a speech on
Wednesday. A group of pro-league
Republicans. headed by Hamilton
Holt, called on him In the White
House, and In response TO their adj
dress he spoke, from his wheel chair,
in defense of the league covenant as
he brought IT from Paris. In uphold
ing article 10 he said: ut is the spe-
cifc pledge OF the members of the
league that they will unite TO resist ex-
actly the things which Germany at
tempted. no matter who attempts them
in the future. II is as exact definl-
ton as could he given in general terms
of the outrage which Germany would
have committed If IL could"
Instead of being a threat of war,
he said later, article 10 is ian assur-
ance Of the concert of all the free peo-
pies Of the world in the future, as In
the recent past, to see justice done
and humanity protected and wildcat
ed This is the true, the real Ameri-
canlsm This is the role of leadership
and championship Of the right which
the leaders of the republic intended
that IL should play. The so-called
Americanism which we hear so much
prating about now is spurious and in

The expected concerted movement
OF the Reds against Baron Wrangel In
southern Russia has not developed
very rapidly. possibly because the Boil
sheviki are too much occupied in COM
batting revolts within the territory
which they control. The latest Of these
outbreaks are reported to be In the
regions OF Odessa. Kherson and Podo-
liza. That the situation in the Moscow
district is serious for the soviet gov
eminent is indicated by the fact that
Dzersjinski. president OF the extraor-
binary executive committee, has been
appointed commander in chief OF all
the troops there. He is the most bru-
tai of all the Bolshevist leaders and Is
considered responsible for much of the
Red terrorism and for many murders.
Meanwhile Wrangel continues TO In
flct defeats on his adversaries and To
capture prisoners and material; and
he does not seem to have lost any
ground to the Reds.

given the Poles more territory than

strike" against the low price OF
wheat on the Chicago board of trade.
Following the instructions of their Or
ganization leaders, they are withhold
ing their wheat from the market, ana
the effect of decreased receipts began
to be felt at once. In the vicinity OF
Wichita, Kan, farmers picketed the
roads, urging those on their way to the
elevators to turn back.

wheat crop cost S1.SS bushel to har-
vest and the oats crop cost 10 cents

the recent sharp declines In prices OF
grain. There is no justification for
the tremendous break in the market,
he said. 1--WE believe reaction must
come. We urge every farmer to with
hold his commodities.
"The situation cannot become more
serious and a further decline can DO
nothing more than to add to the seri'
