of conservative forces of the United
Mine Workers in the Scranton
anthracite district representing
$4,000 miners, when Rina1di Cap
pelini was elected president over
William J. Brennan. is taken here
to mean the miners will make a
determined fight for a big increase
in wages and shorter hours.

expected to disrupt plans for sue
cessful negotiations between miners
and operators in July when the
new contract will be considered.
Brennan represented the conserva-
tive, or administration element of
the anthracite workers while Cap
pelini, former mine worker organ
izer, is said to be extreme in his
policies. The election was held yes
terday and unofficial returns today
indicated the result.
Federal Fuel Distributor Frank
r. Wadleigh recently declared at
Washington that should radicals
get in control of the anthracite
fields a serious fuel crisis might be
precipitated.

WAR MAY PLACE
CIVILIZATION
IN DUST
Novelist Wells So Predicts,
Discussing Future of Avia-
ton Development.
By DAVID NJ. CHURCH,
International News Service.

LONDON, June 16.-The next
war may see civilization ending in
dust and smoke, according to opin-
ion expressed today by III. g.
Wells, famous English novelist,
philosopher and historian.
Wells declares it is useless for
England to defend herself against
air raids by building up a power
full air fleet No nation, he be-
lieves, can successfully defend it
self from air attacks.
"'All we can do is to retaliate
and wipe out cur enemies said
Wells. I'm the war of the future
one bomb will wipe out the in
habitants of a sm.sll town and a
rain of bombs will destroy every
living thing in lavge city.
when that stage .Ss reached the
profession of arms VIII be reduced
to absurdity. No oner either COM
batants or non-combatants viii sur
vive. For all we can tell civiliza-
ton may end in smoke and dust.
Indefensible BY Air.
''To arm, therefore, in such a
fashion is not to defend this coun-
try from attack by air, for the
country is virtually indefensible.
All we can do is retaliate.
Some people cannot see further
than their noses. Some who are
campaigning for larger air forces
are. under the impression that the
only way. to avoid air raids il to
be strong in the air.
That is an absurd contention
However powerful a nation may be
in the air, 1t cannot prevent air.
planes of a rival country from
penetrating its defenses
IT do heartily believe in re-
search into all matters connected
with aviation, for aviation is the
coming transport of the future and
a tremendous advance in air travel
is inevitable"
Wells is noted for having fore
told the use of poison gas in war
fare. Nearly twenty-five years ago
he forecast this method of fight

Worlds

JULIE 5 TEARS
DROP IN HER
ICE CREAM
Jane CowI Weeps as Season
Ends for Her Greatest
Role.

NEW YORK, June 16.-When
Jane Cowl closed her season in
Romeo and Juliet" last Saturday
night, crowds about the stage door
of the Henry Miller Theater gave
way for her as she rushed to her
car. AS she was driven off through
the gasoline mists of the midnight
theater traffic those admirers who
came to worship from afar had
visions of Juliet at some magnifi-
cent champagne supper, surround.
ed by the greatest of the theater.
Had she not broken all consecu-
tive performance records of Shake
speare? Was it not the custom,
after the great triumph Of an ac-
tress, for old stragedians to rise and
drink wine from slippers? Had not
the motion picture proved this so?
AS a matter of fact, Juliet had
ordered the servants to bed early,
the family awaiting her. She sank
intog big chair. The bells of
Verona, having ended the play, be-
gan to weep.
Whats the matter?" said one of
the circle.
II want some chocolate ice
cream" sobbed the Capulet.
Ice cream is not easily purchased
in the upper reaches 1of the city
at / a. m. For the Juliet of the
generation. however, quart of
chocolate ice cream was obtained.
She made wry face over it.
This ice cream is salty" said
Juliet.
mo wonder said one who had
TAXED six blocks for it. you've
gone and cried into it,
For six months Miss Cowl had
played Juliet eight and sometimes
nine times a week. 1t had been
the boast of the company that a
great actress in a highly emotional
role, had never displayed a fit tenn
pe~ament throughout the run of
the piece. The family circle began
to see storm clouds
Shall we go get another quart
of ice cream-vanilla?"
NO." wept Juliet, I'm crying
because the play has ended it's run.
l did not want it to end so soon. 4"
But you can play it again, soon.
You're going to the coast to tour
with it. Now, eat your ice cream
and be happy because you're not
back in the dim tomb at Verona
again."
Juliet frightened perceptibly.
Il am to play it again, am !
'Of course-as long as you care
to-"
The Capulet dried her tears and
ate her ice cream to celebrate the
longest run of a Shakespearian
play in the history of the stage.

the English visit is the acquisition

healthy pastime, as the auction

and toasting forks will agree
1t is your way of indicating that
you have property rights in the old
country. You can't take home an
English lane, or one of Tough
Earne's islands, or Skibo Castle, so
there's nothing for it but the am
tique shop and the auction room.
On this latter point, the purchase

leaving in its place many thou

Suppose you take from us all

You can't deprive us of our ancient

The London fog, by the way, is
one Of the thrills most Americans
do not get when they come over

the thing they care to talk about at

But every tourist knows that
