bornness. The failure of England to
come to the rescue of Germany, the
impossibility of inveigling this coun-
try into support of Germany's posi-
ton, evidently have somewhat
chastened her spirit. And while she
still insists she cannot listen to pro-
posals for evacuation by stages there
is about his words an implied recog-
milton of obligations, a desire to retain
a republic in place of an empire, a
belief that the future has possibilities
for peaceful relations and develop
ment in contrast to the old German
belief that these may be obtained
only through conquest by war.
In closing he said:
I'VE wish to succeed to freedom
a freedom which will be burdened
with obligations taxing our utmost
strength, but in the fulfillment of
which the German people must be-
lieve in order to be able to fulfill
them"
This would seem to be move in
the direction of preparing the Ger
man mind for eventualities, yield
ing in place of stubborn resistance.

New Capitol May Create
Real American Architecture

Omaha, April IL "a. Po-Ihe
astonishing influence that the new
capitol of Nebraska, now under con-
struction, seems to he having on
present day architectural design.
leads to the suggestion that
Nebraska may be destined to be the
cradle of a worth while American
r. Kimball. of this city, past presi-
dent of the American Institute of
Architects.
Nebraska has blazed the pathway
that is leading the world to aesthetic
architectural freedom in this new
state capitol" states Mr.. Kimbal1.
The influence of this new building is
being felt, as is shown in the recent
Chicago Tribune competition, where
among 200 or more submissions,
most of the noticeable efforts were
clearly traceable to this capital.
Extreme simplicity has taken the
place OF elaboration, resulting in
great saving in cost without loss of
dignity. There are several points of
arrangement that are peculiar to this
building, one of which is that the
usual useless dome is replaced by an
equally monumental and wholly USE
ful tower, wherein space for storage

THE architect has drawn from
nearly every known style, type and
period of architecture and in their
combination at once defied precedent
and achieved a striking success"
Mr.. kimball stated that it might
we'll lead to a new and lasting type
of architecture.
This new capitol not only skaters
accepted tradition in it's plan, but
presents most enlightening example
of how. without stupidity adapting or
covering. we may avail ourselves of
our full heritage of design" he
added. This new capitol has a least
challenged the assumption that this
age of material things, with it's new
client the people may be going to
have a worthy and lasting architec-
ture of it's own, accomplished both
because of and in spite of the COM
merclailsm that so dominates the

from the ground level. The tower
rises from the center to a height of
400 feet and is surmounted by a
colossal figure called THE Sower."
1t will be 80 feet square at the
base and taper only slightly as it
rises. 1t is square severe shaft,
pierced on each of it's four sides by

north, by means of a broad flight of
steps. Immediately inside is the hall
of state, a vaulted apartment about
SO feet high. At the left are the

LABOR SHORTAGE AND iMMi.
GRAFTON

Judge Gary of the L. S. Steel Cor
poration complains of a shortage of
labor under the present immi grafton
restrictions. He wants more of those
foreigners who are willing to work at
gruellng jobs for twelve hours day.
Perhaps if he established rea soma BILE
working conditions in the steel mills,
as he has promised in the past to do
he might not be finding SO much
difficulty in getting workmen.
Undoubtedly the restrictions on
the importation of unskiled labor
for the present is hampering some
enterprises. It cannot be otherwise.
The question at issue is whether it
be better for all concerned to suffer
this Inconvenience, which we hope
will be temporary. and endeaver TO
adjust ourselves to it, or whether we
should let down the bars for another
influx Of unskilled foreigners. not
only for the uses Of the steel mills,
as they could not be restricted to
employment in any industry. They
would come here to do as they
pleased, work in our mills or loaf on
our streets. seek employment on the
farms-a very unusual proceeding
or congest the sweat-shops Of our
big cities.
It is, of course, to be assumed that
labor will favor retention of the i'm
migration restrictions, but if they
are wisely advised they will not at
tempt to hog" the situation. Secre-
tary Of. Labor Davis contends that
this restriction stopped industrial
panic in this country and if removed
would be likely to bring it on again.
He believes labor from the contig-
uous country is moving into the
large centers to take the place of
foreign labor and is capable Of do
ing more work than the latter, which
is cheap in more ways than one.
1t is to be hoped that in this way will
be found relief, otherwise some
modification Of the restriction may
have to be made, although full op-
portunity to test the method we now
have should he given

Mine Disaster in India
Worst in History Country

Parbelia, India, March II. (MaiD
An inquiry into the recent coal
mine disaster here has brought FORTH
descriptions of narrowing scenes and
stories of steadfast courage, amount
ing on occasions to heroism. The
disaster. which was the most serious
in the history of coal mining in India,
occurred at about seven o'clock in
the morning and was said to have
been caused by an explosion of coal
dust. OF the SO workers who de-
scended into the mine, IA were killed.
The victims were all Indians, and i'll
cluded 22 women.
Indian miners who gave evidence
were vague as to details. All remem-
bered hearing one or two explosions
and seeing fire and smoke. but for the
most part they spoke of having sud-
denly been struck senseless, and OF
having subsequently recovered suffi-
cient strength to crawl in the pitch
black da rkness to the bottom of the
1,500-foot shaft. the deepest in India.
The work of rescue was carried on
under the most dangerous conditions
With the greatest care the injured
were brought up and given medical
attention. The wailing of relatives
who flocked in from the countryside
did not tend to relieve the situation.
The noise caused by the explosion
was heard at c0lleries for many
miles.
A pathetic incident was related by
a middle aged Indian miner, who
said that he and his son We're cutting
coal while his daughter, aged 10.

I am dying and / carried her in
my arms and put her into the cage"
The girl died shortly after-heing
brought to the surface.
The employees who were not af-
fected by the explosion continued
their work in the mine. They attrib-
uted the disaster to sevene ghosts
whom they sought to propitiate by
the sacrifice of seven goats.

No Fatalities
On Model Airway
In Three Months

RantOul, Ill, Aprll ~. A. ~
Not a fatality has been checked
against the air service during the
three months that have elapsed
since Major General Mason NJ.
Patrick, chief of the United States
manding officers of Chanute, Boil
ing. Langley, Mitchell, McCook and
Selfridge Fields to inaugurate regular
scheduled flights over a model air
way over the eastern and middle
western states, according to records
here.
The model air course takes in New
York, Hampton, Va, Cleveland, To-
ledo. Detroit, kokomo. Ind. and RAN

bi weekly.
The records show that the first
flights were not all completed on

shown an improvement. A trip re-
Gently completed was from Chanute

Detroit, to Toledo. back to Detroit, to
Kokomo, Ind, and return to Chanute
Field. The distance covered was
more than 1900 miles and the total
actual flying time was % hours and
ten minutes.
While no aviator was killed, yet
the flights were far from devoid of
excitement and hairbreadth escapes.
Major +. l.. Martin in a recent
trip left Chanute on a route which
covered 1900 miles. He was furnish
