ENGLAND FINDS
MORAL IN VIEWS
Of Mr.. HEARST
Must Not TruckIe Openly to
American Sentiment in
Opinion of Daily News.
BY Universal Service.

LONDON, May 3l.-Commenting
editorially on the statement given
by William Randolph Hearst to the
Evening Standard. the London Daily
News today said:
ITO the rather insolent sugges-
ton that the future Of the world
may depend upon a good under.
standing between his own country
and England. Mr.. Hearst retorts
with a significant contrast between
American democratic and altruist,c
ideals and England's Nfmperialistic
policies
perhaps the gulf is not so wide
as this narrow minded patriot
imagines, but 1t Is important to re-
member that he speaks with a
crude over.emphasis but neverthe.
less with an approximation Of the
truth for a solid bloc Of American
opinion that still looks at British
aims. British policy. and British
mentality with deep-rooted suspicion
and not a little enmity.
1.-THE moral for us Is, that while
In all our dealings with American
people we should exhibit a perfect
good will and friendliness. we should
at the same time carefully avoid
the tendency recently developed Of
trucking openly to American senti-
ment and adopting generally a
sycophantic demeanor in our trans
Atlantic relationships.
"It is not thus we are convinced
that Americans will be persuaded
into taking a hand in reordering the
worlds affairs"
Sir John Foster Frazer today ad.
dressed an open letter TO ths Even
ing Standard replying to the state
ment on Anglo-American relations
given to that newspaper by Mr..
Hearst. In attacking Mr.. Hearst's
statement Sir John addressed the fol.
lowing query to the American pub.

COALOPERATORS
T0CURbPR|CES
Retailers to Fight Increase, In
Z. sisting Producers Keep
-.s Contracts.
nv oo.mopolitan Nsws Service.

In the face of diminishing coal re-
serve stocks and the steadily ap-
preaching menace Of a serious short
age before many weeks, Secretary of
Commerce Hoover met here today
with several hundred producing
operators to attempt fixing a uni
form price for coal at the mines to
prevent profiteering.
There were indications of a fight
almost from the start of the meet
ing. Representatives OF retail coal
dealers declared the, operators had
gotten together before the meeting
and reached an agreement to hold
out for So a ton as a minimum.
This is too high" said L. w.
Ferguson, OF Chicago, representing
the retailers. AT least half a mil
lion tons Of high grade coal has been
contracted for aelivery before
March, 1923, at around $1.76 ton,
and we viii interpose serious OBJ
jections to any movement tending to
abrogate these contracts"
The retailers, Ferguson said, feel
the public Is expecting lower coal
prices instead Of higher, following
the reduction of freight rates
ordered by the Interstate Com
merce Commission last week.
No effort will be made at today's
meeting, It was said. to "end the
strike" So long as there Is no
actual shortage and suffering from
lack Of coal, the Administration
does not consider It should step In
with a demand that operators and
striking miners get together.
Both union and non-union btu.
minous operators were included In
the meeting today, although the
non-union operators are mostly con.
cerned because of their continued
production

HOWEBROOK, Me-. May 31-The dread specter Of
illness has entered the love nest of Adam and Eve er
cold and throat with symptoms greatly
resembling those of tonstis made yesterday a~day of
torture for Mrs. Margaret Sutter, the modern Eve .
With her resistance weakened by the past week of
bitter weather insufficient food and exposure to the
elements Sutter fell prey to throat infection

elements, Mrs. Sutter fell an
Yesterday she developed a high
fever and her husband was
obliged to sit by her side all day
piling wood on the fire and COM
pletely abandoning his search for
food.
In spite of her illness, how
ever, Mrs. Sutter declared she
would not abandon her attempt
to live for six weeks in the Maine
wilderness with her husband as
primitive man and woman.
Mr.. Sutter applied simple
remedies of herbs to his wife's
throat and believes he will be able
to reduce ), the inflammation in
another day.
Mrs. Suffers illness, however,
had a more far reaching effect
than either Of the Suffers
realized. ....,.
Has Fish Spear.
Z, Sutter has improved greatly on his
fish-catching apparatus since he en-
tered the wilderness ten days ago.
He was at first obliged to use a
forked stick for the capture of the
elusive trout. II worked but II was
a laborous process and required un-
limited patience and endurance.
Since bagging. several partridges
by the simple expedient of knocking
their heads off with a club. he has
manufactured a fish spear that Is a
dandy.
The backbone Of a partridge filed
down on a fiat stone and pushed into
the end Of a pliable birch stick forms
the business end of the spear. With
II Sutter can catch trout almost
as swiftly as a man with a nyrod.
Indeed, II 1t were not for the
speckled beauties Of the brooks in
this modern Garden OF Eden, :he
Suffers would never have been able
to continue their experiment for the
time they have. Brook trout have
formed their staple meal every day.
Suffers deadfall traps and snarCs
have been practically worthless so
far. He has caught nothing in any
OF these snares but one little rabbit.
+ The deer, moose and bear are
plenty. and not a day passes but SUIT
ter chases one of these animals out
Of the underbrush. Since his expert
ence last week when he was treed by
a bull moose he is extremely aleary
Of the latter. But he has been un-
able to capture or injure any Of
the larger animals.
Sun Is 0bscured.
A curious haze has hung across
the forest during the. past two days
and the sun is partially obscured dur
ing the entire day.
Old residents here say that a for
est fire is raging somewhere back
in the deep timber and thev shake
their heads obviously when they
speak OF the Suffers and the location
of their camp.
The sun was a ball Of fire when
Il went to bed last night and it was
the same red sphere when IT rose
this morning. The whole country.
side Is clouded by the smoke screen
and there is an acrid smell OF burn.
ing wood in the air. The forest
ls very dense for miles.
Every fifteen miles or SO there
Is a huddle OF houses and a rail
road station fighting back the en-.
croachment OF trees.
So the Suffers face a terribly Sc
rious thing II the fire, now blazing
somewhere not far from their
home, should eat it's way through
the spruce and pine to their re-
treat.
Mrs. Sutter Is too i'll to travel
and her husband would certainly
not desert her. Fire wardens are
working up through the brush to-
day in an effort to locate the
source of the fire. and when they
return they will enlist residents on
Howebrook in the ranks OF fire
fighters.
