Adriatic After Irish Tour;
Ship Brings Much Gold

The strike of British coal miners,
scheduled to-day will not be Of long
duration, according to Sir William
Wiseman. He arrived here yesterday
on the White Star liner Adriatic. Sir
William, who was England's Treasury
representative in this country during
the war, said that the British govern
Ment did not fear the strike, but rather
welcomed it.
The strike, he said, would result in
a showdown between labor and the
government, which had to come sooner
or later. The strike, according to Sir
William, is fostered by the younger
and radical element of the miners and
opposed by the great mass of British
industrial workers.
1.-The government has had ample
warning" he affirmed, "and has taken
means to provide for the operation of
all the railways. 1t is our impression
at home that the strike cannot and will
not last long"
Father Keane Returns
Another traveller on the Adriatic was
the Rev. Patrick j. Kcane, rector of
the Roman Catholic Church of St.
Francis de Sales, Oakland, Calf, who
returned from a visit to Ireland. On
his return to California he will be con-
secrated Bishop of Sacramento.
Father Kcane said that infhis travels
through Ireland he was never moiested
by the British civil or military author-
ties. He said he had given some at
tention to study of the Sim Fein
movement, and was Of the opinion that
if Britain made concrete proposal to
the Irish represented bs Arthur Grit
tiths it would be accepted.
"The Irish, however," declared Father
Keane, "would be wary, because they
have had quite enough of British
promises. l talked with many sub
stantial Englishmen and they informed
me that if Sir Edward Carson were
eliminated the whole question would
be settled. l believe that the English
people arc sincere in their efforts to
do something for Ireland"
Anna Pavlowa, the Russian ballet
dancer, returned on the Adratic after
an absence of nearly two years from
this country. On her last departure
from New York she went to South
America for tour, and later went from
Buenos Ayres to Paris.
She comes here with a company of
forty dancers and will appear under
the direction of Fortune Gallo, director
of the San Carlo Opera Company.
Pavlowa Dancer Held

House in a benefit performance for the
Navy Club. Miss Joyce Cole. one of
the Paylowa dancers, was removed to
Ellis Island because she was under six
teen years old and unnccompanied by
parent or guardian. Her case will be
appealed to Washington. and if the
Secretary is willing to let her enter
the country under bond she will be
released.
