Winters Dying Kick
Makes Strike-Menaced
Britishers SILVER

London, April lI.-SundaS brought
: additional discomfort from the coal
strike to the people of Great Britain,
as the need for the already closely
held fuel was increased by the ap-
pearance of wintry weather through
out the United Kingdom with a con-
siderable snowfall in some sections.
The leaders of the striking miners
have all left London, apparently much
to the disappointment of the govern
ment departments concerned III the
dispute, who had been hoping that
now the political questions involved in
the demand of the miners for nation
al pool had been disposed of ny the
refusal of support to the miners by the
Triple Alliance it might be possible
to get negotiations on the wage ques-
ton started again.
The action Of the House Of Commons
last Thursday night in virtually TAX
ing the affair out Of the hands of the
government was widely commented
upon as bringing in a new phise OF
public affairs not altogether to the
taste of government department but
likely to help in reaching a settlement
more speedily.
The bad weather and the collapse of
the threatened railroad and transport
strikes has retarded the recruiting OF
the volunteer forces in London, fewer
citizens offering themselves for en-
liStment.
1t was officially intirnated today that
Mr.. Lloyd George and the other cab
met ministers are still anxious to ne
gotiate for a permanent settlement of
the wages question. This desire is in
line with the anxiety of the mine
owners to come to terms with the men
and avoid a prolonged struggle which
would lose the world markets for
their product. The strike has already
been in progress for a fortnight and
is certain to continue for at least an
other week. when the available stocks
of coal will be greatly depleted. The
mines department of the Board of
Trade is already puzzled by the prob
lem of eking out the available sup
plies and is understood to be con-
sidering a still further drastic ration
ing.
The train services will be addition
ally curtailed during the coming
week, in line with this policy. The
admiralty is preparing to bring coal
from Nova Scotia for its own use, and
some more important dealers are pre-
pairing to import American coal.
A mass meeting of railwaymen held
in Carlisle today passed resolutions
in favor of calling general railway
strike unless the just claims of the
miners were adjusted by next Friday.

WRANCEl'S ARMY
BURDEN TO FRENCH
IN CONSTANTINOPLE

Paris, April 17--General Wrangel.
former head of, the South Russian
government in the Crimea, has es-
tablished So called Russian gov
eminent at Constantinople, accord
ing to a semi official French an
nouncement today. He is attempt
ing, the statement says, to maintain
his Crimean troops as an army, OPP
posing in every way the efforts Of the
French military authorities to re-
patriate the refugees or send them to
Brazil or elsewhere, SO that they
might earn their own living.
Announcement has been made that
the French recognition of the gov
eminent of South Russia as a de
facto authority ceased when General
Wrangel was forced out of the
Crimea by the Bolsheviki, and that
the generals men were informed that
they were not obliged to recognize
his orders. The relief afforded these
refugees is declared to have cost
France more than 200,000,00O francs
during the past FIVE months and that
she has received as security the gen.
erals ships and some merchandise,
the whole worth brady fourth
of that amount.
The French government, in agree
ment with the other powers, it is
said, considered General Wrangels
men only as a refugees, whom it fed
through humanitarian motives and
cannot tolerate their existence as an
army on Turkish soil, this being a
violation of international law and
imperilling the security of Constan-
tinople. Therefore. it feels that the
men must be removed from the in
fluence of General Wrangel and his
staff.
1t is remarked by the statement in
this connection that there are prob
ably one million Russians making
their own way in Poland, and that,
therefore, it is considered General
Wrangers men can do likewise else
where. particularly as Brazil has Of
fered to take 10000 Of them as far
mers. The refugees are reminded
that 1t was declared in a Moscow
wireless message of April Z that am
nesty had been granted them, but
that France cannot vouch for carry
ing out this amnesty promise.

FIRST WOMAN SLAIN
BY UNKNOWN BAND
IN IRISH VILLAGE

Dublin, April 17--Bw the Asso-
a woman in the strife between the
discordant factions in Ireland is an
nounced. She was taken from her
home in the Scotstown district of
Monaghan today and shot and killed
on the banks of the river.
The woman, whose name was Kitty
MacCarron, belonged to the farming
class.
Kitty MacCarron who was about As
years old lived with her parents, &C.
togenarians, in a wild mountainous
part of the country. About mid
night a knock was heard at the door,
and a party of masked men entered
and Informed the victim they had
come for her.
She struggled in vain; the assas
sins fastened her hands behind her
back and led her pleading pitifully
down a lane about mile to the
main road, by the side of which the
body was afterwards found with a
bullet wound through the cheek,
which is the customary sign of Sim
t'ein executions.
A card on the body was inscribed:
"Spies AMI Informers befare! Tried,
convicted and executed by the Irish
Republican Army"
Neighbors refused aid in the re-
moval of the body, such is the ter
ror inspired in Monaghan by the re-
cent series of terrible deeds which
have earned for the county the repu-
tation of the worst in Ulster.

stress on the contention that the

ing the mandate for the former Ger

Japan was an agreement collateral
TO the peace treaty, and therefore
valid in the same sense as the deci-
sion regarding the distribution of

clares that should Japan be forced
