Enormous losses have been incurred
by both the workers and the opera
tives, and also the manufacturers. The
political effect Of the strike, however,
Is yet to be measured. It is likely not
only to intensity the class partisanship
Of the Laborites. but to promote q
union between the Liberal and the
Labor parties. The Liberal Labor
weekly, the Statesman, now formally
accuses the government of openly de.
claring class war. 1t suggests that
the Laborites and the Liberals will
now be forced by circumstances to
unite In an effort to compel the gov.
eminent soon to appeal to the country
in a general election.
AS long as the coal strike continues
economic conditions are unstabiiized.
The government Is in difficulties. 1t
cannot indefinitely continue in office
on the mandate of the latest election,
but must ultimately, perhaps soon, ask
for new commission. At the next
session Of Parliament the issue will
probably be set.
The general strike, called in sym
pathy with the coal miners, was fail
ure. But it left bitter feelings with
the government on the defensive. The
ministry avoided test of strength
during the remainder Of the session.
Ever since the strike was ended David
Lloyd George has been vigorous in his
criticism. He escaped expulsion from
his party craftsmanship, but 1t is plain
that the Liberals are sharply divided
into two factions. one favoring a
Laborite coalition and the other min
isterial support. The question of mo.
ment is whether in the new election
the Liberal party will split altogether.
in which case the lines will be def
nitely formed between the conserva-
tive and the radical factors of the
British electorate.

The British Strike and Politics.

The British coal strike continues
despite assertions from the ranks Of
the strikers and the apparent hope
lessness of forcing the government to
act in settlement on terms satisfactory
TO the miners. There is a slow drift
back to work In the midlands, but
the big coal fields in Wales. Durham
and Yorkshire have not been affected
bv the movement. The miners have
thus far kept the pits from flooding,
but now the question of withdrawing
she safety men Is being discussed in
Wales, and three hundred of them
have been withdrawn from one Of the
largest collieries at Doncaster. This
Is the final maneuver of desperation.
An effort by the union to induce the
government to intervene or to renew
the subsidy to the mine owners has
just failed, and but for the process Of
attrition the deadlock is as tight as
ever.
This long-continued strike has
caused great suffering in England and
has seriously affected industry through
the depletion OF the fuel SUPPLY

"Trudy" IL Home.

'Trudy' Ederle is home and New
York yesterday turned out to give her
a royal welcome. the kind Of welcome
reserved exclusively for the Queen of
the Waters and q welcome seldom
surpassed in the history of similar
celebrations In that city. Dense
crowds packed the streets for eighty
blocks, and 'Trudy," ner face flushed
with pride, smiled her way into every
heart as she rode triumphantly at the
head of the special parade that had
been arranged for her.
When the tired conqueror of the
English Channel, that wicked body of
water that has been bested by only
i've men before her, reached her home
block on Amsterdam avenue, pande.
monium broke out anew. Every
house, every store and everybody wore
Ederle emblems, to show JOY in the
supreme triumph of the sturdy nine
teen.year-old daughter Of the neigh.
borhood butcher. The clan Of Ederle.
estimated to be forty-two strong,
formed special bodyguard of honor
until 'Trudy" tripped gracefully up
the steps Of the house in which she
was born.
1t has been said, many times, that
Americans have large streak of hero
worship in them. Be that as It may,
the greeting to Gertrude Ederle yes.
terday was a spontaneous and well
deserved tribute to a plucky girl, the
first of her sex to swim the twenty.
mile stretch between France and Eng
land. For fourteen hours and a half
she battled the shifting and turbulent
waters under adverse circumstances,
and in her remarkable crossing she
bettered the time of the best male
swimmer by two hours.
America is proud that one Of it's
feminine citizens was the first to swim
the Channel. and America Is particu.
larry proud Of the plucky, unassum-
ing girl, Gertrude Ederle Of Amster-
dam avenue, New York City,.

Follow through" in golf, means
to complete the stroke properly.
In life, 1t means to do the any thing
all the way, not half way, or three.
quarters through, or seven-eighths of
the way.
We saw a large and capable citizen
recently do a job about nine-tenths
perfect. and we fell to wondering
why he didn't complete the job.
He was out moving his lawn. His
yard was not separated from his
neighbors on either side by fence or
hedge, but blithely mingled with it
SO that no man might say, off-hand
just where the one began and the
other left off.
Nine out of ten persons. on first
coming into possession Of one Of these
homes, will cut the lawn from walk
to walk on either side. Thus he will
have his own lawn properly trim
med, but leave his neighbors' with
half their grass cut.
In time he will realize that the best
way in this, as in most matters. Is
to stick to his own property, and
merely cut his own lawn, observing
the down-pipes as marking the limits
of his own.
The gentleman in question wanted

cut his own grass, and then went
on the other side of his neighbor' 6
walk and cut that lawn clear across.
He did not sweep off the grass that
blew across his neighbours walk, how
ever, so that when the latter came
home he had to get out and do the
job himself.
Now the question that presents it.
self is this: Why didn't the first man
sweep off the grass, too? If he were
going to cut another mans grass,
why didn't he do the job right?

Every child ought to be taught to
follow through There is nothing
that would help a boy more, in later
life, than to learn to do every JOB
right he undertakes.
Every endeavor of man comprises
certain actions and has certain limits
The finish of every job may dwindle
into a ragged edge, or be clean'cut
affair.
To make it second nature for a
child to give a finished performance
would be to insure a successful man,
insofar as any one mental habit can
do that very difficult thing.
Life is so complex, there are SO
many inherited faculties, despite all
that may be said one way or the other
on tho subject Of heredity, that no
one factor may be said to be para

The boy who follows through"
however, has a great lead in the race
of life. anH, everything else being
equal, will deliver as a man. He will
grow UP to be the employee who does
not have to be watched, the man who
does not have to be told every little
thing to be done.
