Great Britain Prepares for

T.. .. q. = Re.ult -.

/ London, April 6. (By Ed. l.. Keen.
Attempted negotiations for settle
ment OF the British coal strike broke
down to-day. Miners. leaders In con.
ference with Lloyd George refused
to meet the primary demands OF the
colliery owners that steps be taken
immediately to prevent flooding OF
mines.
As: result Britain's preparations
for an industrial warfare were speed
ed up. Thousands OF soldiers were
rushed to strategic points. Great
food stores were collected, further
cuts in transportation were made
and lightless nights were proposed.
/ The premier personally attempted
to persuade miners to change thelr
position in a long conference this
morning. Lloyd George used all the
arts of argument at his command
The miners declared that they wish
ed TO reach an understanding with
the colliery owners and were willing
TO make concessions but could not
meet the primary demands OF owners
The demand was that before nego-
citations be attempted, safety workers
be installed in the mines so as to
prevent flooding and destruction OF
property.

The judge held that Kauff could not

Fifteen months have elapsed since

Four outstanding facts Of import
ance were noted. The land clearing
idea-initiated at Bemidji,' in Bel
trami county, is spreading through
out the northern part Of the state.
Itasca county farmers and business
men have swung in line and it seems
certain that historic progress along
this line will be made in the northern
counties. The Beltrami-Itasca plans
have attracted national attention and
a number of home-seekers are looked

had agents on the job and these or
ganizations have assisted in lending
publicity to the plans to open more
land for cultivation.

schools is sweeping the state, Any

than 100000 in bond issues have

Summer Enrolment

= From present inquiries at the nor
NAL school and the advanced registra-
tions that have already been. made
for the summer term, there will be a
much larger attendance than at Ell
Their of the past summer sessions.
Two years ago the enrolment was
100, while last year it reached nearly
300-atd there was considerable diff
ficulty in securing adequate rooming
facilities, notwithstanding that the
new dormitory was then in use. Pres
ent indications are that, if those
who desire to enroll can be assured of
satisfactory living accommo dations,
the enrolment this year will reach
$50 or 400 students. ,.s.9 d.
The normal school requests that all
people who will have available rooms
for the six weeks term, beginning
June 13, notify Mrs. Grace B.
Thacker, dean Of women, Sanford
hall, telephone 154. Mrs. Thacker
can always be reached between the
hours Of and II a. m. and from l
to 2 p. m. II E ".
It is necessary that a large num-
Der Of rooms be reported as soon as
possible in order that prospective
students may be assured Of accom-
modations. ..4
Many Of the students attending
summer school have limited means

be charged for rooms shall be reason

that the first solid trainload of gift

save lives Of famine sufferers abroad.
mot only are the railroads furnish
ing cars and transporting the corn
without charge, but in many cases
the mills have contracted to mill the
corn free Of charge to aid the relief
work. Mr.. Hatch said. wherever
there is any charge for this milling,
the relief organizations receiving corn
have arranged to meet the cost. we
have absolute guarantees that every
bushel. of. corn or it's. full equivalent
in corn products will be shipped out
Of the country to starving people

probably all the corn now pledged
by American farmers will go to TAM

Difficulty Of obtaining transportation
across the Pacific has made it impos-
gible TO get corn to China at this
time. That doesn't reduce the neees-
sity for generous gifts from America.
for there are tens Of thousands OF
women and, children in central Eu-
rope, Poland, Armenia and the Near
