TODAY the situation in the West Virginia
i soft fields sad and fantastic and
bewildering as 1t appears in various lights,
Is highly charged with the possibilities Of
trouble and even disaster. 1t is doubtful
whether the inevitable consequence Of slack
and inefficient political administration ever
was made more vividly apparent than II Is
In the Mingo field at this hour.
II the troop commanders are tactful and
cool headed, IL the strike police do not lose
their heads. IL there Is some one with au-
thority in the State able to appreciate the
force that patience and a sense of humor
and charity can be made to exert in any
crisis, the long months of folly and NAL
administration of affairs In the soft coal
country will not end in an orgy Of machine
cunning and boodshed. Otherwise the
outcome of lawlessness on the part Of the
miners unions, the operators and even the
civil authorities in the Mingo region may
shock the country.
The 1000 miners who were marching to the
mine regions to protest against the con-
tinuance Of martial law proclaimed by the
Governor are not all union men. They are
miners who have been enduring the hard
ships of combined strike and lockout for
more than a year. The unions preciptated
the strike. The operators called in strike
breakers. Gunplay and murder followed.
The Sheriffs Of West Virginla-and, indeed,
the State authorities-added to the confu-
sion by giving unlimited police authority
to small army Of men summoned from
outside and paid by the coal operators.
These men exercised the authority of the
state. Rut they were responsible only to
their private employers.
Experience hns shown that trouble Of the
sort which the people Of West Virginia
dreaded can he easily avoided II men who or
ganize for a demonstration are permitted to
demonstrate peacefully and blow off their
steam without hndrance. II the miners
had been permitted to 60 to Mingo they prob
ably would have walked around and sat down
and the thing would have been done. If a
Sheriff or a captain Of troops had lost his
head and attempted to stop them with gun
fire or threats. a good many people would bn
killed and the Mingo trouble be no nearer
settlement. The confusion at the soft coal
mines is disgrace to the State authorities,
who permitted both unions and operators to
play fast and loose with the laws, with the
interests of the State and the interests of the
Nation.

A MONARCHICAL FlAScO

THERE was cold comfort for the mIitar-

parade OF soldiers who fought in the World
War. They were reviewed by General
Ludendorff Prince Eitel Friedrich. son Of
the former Kaiser Count Won Waldrrsee and
sieneral won der Gotz, None Of these once
distinguished men was chCered save General
Lpdendorif but the applause for him was
feeble Not only was there lack Of en-
thusiastic approval at this monarChist
DEMONSTRATION, but there was positive evil
dence OF disapproval In the shape of "boos"

be no private interests to be served nor should

THE director need not always reflect what
he thinks to be public sentiment, but what
he believes public sentiment would be II
the public generally were as fully Informed
as he is He should not be content to
merely voice public sentiment, but should,

Bv WILLIAM ATHERTON DU PUY

TT WAS, as a matter of fact very dis
i concerting to the navy when, few
weeks ago, it converted two captive German
destroyers into targets that were to be
sunk in practice for experimental purposes
and the darn things refused to 60 down.
First at 0 o'clock in the morning the de-
stroyers went out in a line, steamed back
and forth and cracked away Mt 5000 yards
which is a rather short range. They did
1t for half day. Then a group of great
big batteships went out to shoot. For them
10000 yards was close up, although they
got closer later on. They unleashed main
turret guns. broadsides n everything and
the sun travelled away over toward the
western horizOn-and one of those de-
stroyers still bobbed contentedly out there
in the ocean.
Finally all guns were concentrated on
this hopeless. firmly anchored little boat.
1t stayed afoat until o'clock in the eve.
ming, having endured ten hours OF navy
fire, then turned quietly over on its side
and: as If disguised. sank without so much
as kicking up it's heels.
1t would not have been so bad IL the
performance had not been viewed by some
army officers who hold that the way to sink
ships is to let them drop bombs on them.
Major II. NJ Hickman was one of these
an inconsdcrate sort Of fellow. DO Won
know what he said? Well, he kinda droTIed
and. says he:
