Ingenious Pile Driver.

There has been employed on numer-
Gus occasions by members of the En-
gineer corps a most ingenious pile
driver which acts with great speed.
On two sides of the pile one-inch gas
pipes are placed in longitudinal
grooves. At the lower end the pipes
are furnished with nozzles inclined in
ward toward the point of the pile. A
force pump drives water into the
pipes, and the water, issuing from the
nozzles under a pressure of 20 pounds
to the square inch, removes the dirt
so rapidly beneath the pile that it
sinks three times as fast as if ham
mered by pile driver.-Washington

followed one another fast last week,
but it is yet too early to predict the
success or failure of the maneuver.

difficult task of persuading or COM

mining of. coal and other normal activ-
they would produce the coal if paid
for it by the French, but their own
government ordered them to cease,
and this order they at once obeyed. A
number of them, including Fritz Thys-
sen, son of the second richest man in
Germany, were arrested and tried by
court-martial. The French prosecutor
admitted there were extenuatlng cir
cumstances in that the prisoners had
obeyed their own government and
asked only that they be fined. All were
found guilty and fines totaling about
$4,000 were imposed Appeal was
taken to a higher French court in the
Rhineland.
The immediate effect of this pro-
cedure was a general strike of all
workers in the Ruhr, which had been
threatened for several days. TO this
the French responded with orders for
the complete isolation of the district

nISPATCHES from the Near East
- and from Lausanne were not so
reassuring last week. 1t seems the
Mosul question was not settled outside
of the peace conference and yet re-
mains the chief obstacle in the way of
an amicable settlement. Great Brit
ain insists that the dispute must be
referred to the League of Nations, and
the Turks are equally insistent that
the matter be settled by a plebiscite.
Lord Curzon gave the world a good
laugh by stating that England was not
interested in Mosul because of it's al
legged oil richness, but only in keeping
her pledge to the Arabs Of Irak that
they should not again be placed under
Turkish rule. Most of the other ques-
tons arising at Lausanne have been
settled and the conference, it is said,
will 90 ahead with the drafting of the
treaty. In this will be a clause re
ferring the Mosul matter to the league.
This will give the Turks an excuse to
refuse to sign and then, according to
Crlrzon, there may be renewal of war
in the Near East. 1t was announced
that France and Italy would not asso-
ciate with Great Britain in forcing
Turkey to accept the treaty.
