BEATING
: ENGLISH COAL MEN

i Paris, Dec. 4.-Large arrivals of
American coal at French ports are
causing much comment in the coal
trade of France, especilly among the
English coal interests here.
ENGLAND is losing her privileged
position in the world as coal export
er," the Paris edition of the Daily
Mail, quotes S. Samuel of Instone
and Company, coal firm, as saying
with reference to this situation.
American deliveries says the news
papers, are now being made at $14
a ton, against 629 two months ago.
1t sums the situation up thus:
ENGLAND is threatened in the
worlds coal market. America is
aiming at obtaining control, and
foreign consumers will benefit from
this free competition"
American coal can be imported
now at about ten shillings a ton low
er than English coal Of correspond
ing qualities.

ORIGIN OF FIRE
NOT DETERMINED
Incendiarism Suspected In Costly
Warehouse Blaze

Orangeburg, Dec. "a disas-
trous fire visited Orangeburg last
night when one of the several ware
houses of the Farmers Marketing
association was destroyed. There
were just few bales less than l.
600 in this building. The fire oc-
Cured at about 80 o'clock this
morning, entailing loss of about
$4,000, fully covered by insur-
ance.
The building was of sheet metal,
had been filled with cotton and
locked for a month, and no one is
known to have entered the building
during that time. The origin of the
fire is undetermined, but incendi-
arism is suspected. The other ware
houses nearby were saved. These
warehouses are located on the
county fair property, and some OF
the fair buildings are being used by
this company. The structure de-
stroyed was not one of the fair
buildings.

CANADIAN DELEGATEa
MAKES WARM SPEECH
Critieises European .StatesmanshiP
In League Assembly-Cre-
ates Dismay BY Bold
Thrusts

Geneva, Dec. 8.-The liveliest
emotion the assembly of the league
of nations has experienced was pro-
voked today by N. W. Rowell OF
Canada, who expressed his views re-
garding European craftsmanship in
a way that startled diplomatists of
the old world.
A sharp debate arose over the
recommendation of the committee
on technical organization that the
assembly propose to the govern
ments to set up under the auspices
of the league three new organiza-
tions, finances, transit and health,
with annual conferences on these
subjects.
Mr.. Rowell objected on the
ground that it was impossible for
distant countries to send their best
men abroad four times year to at
tend the assembly and the confer
ences, and declared that the result
would be to throw these organiza5
tions under European influence.
The assembly, he held, should ac-
cupy itself with these questions.
Canada, at any rate, he said, felt
that they were question that should
not be allowed to fall into European
control.
"Fifty thousand Canadian SOL
diers under the sod in France and
Flanders is the price Canada has
paid for European craftsmanship"
he cried to the astonishment of the
entire assembly and the dismay OF
some of the delegates.
Arthur Balfour and Mr.. Fisher
were plainly affected by the thrust
from a British dominion. They re-
p.ained motionless in their seats
through the balance of the debate,
with grace faces. Lord Robert Cecil
representing South Africa in the
assembly, in a gentle way softened
the blow by saying that he agreed
with much that Mr.. Rowell had said
but thought that Mr.. Rowell was mis-
cations. would fall under the control
of Europe.
Several of the delegates suggest
ed to Mr.. Rowell that his words had
created a different impression than
he had intended. The Canadian dele
gate took the floor again and said
he did not mean to attack European
statesmen, and rather than give Of
fense preferred to withdraw his
words.
Mr.. Rowell was supported by Mr..
Miller of Australia and was mildly
taken to task by Gabrielle Hanotaux
of France. DR.. Castor Da Cunha of
Brazil, who had offered an amend
ment, united with the others; how
ever, in agreeing to let the question
20 over until tomorrow. In the
meantime endeavors will be made to
arrive at compromise.
:, Some of the principal delegates,
wearying of the protracted discus
sions, and somewhat discouraged in
their efforts to hasten the work of
the assembly are talking of going
home. M. Vivani, who has been
away from his law practice for
nearly a month, said he would not
stay longer than the end of this
week. The general opinion, how
ever, is that it will be impossible to
finish before the end of next week
unless the debates are summarily
shortened.
