LONDON March 27.—A1l the Eu-
ropean countries have their post-war
troubles—some of these anxieties they
share with their neighbors some are
peculiarly their own. Great Britain
is no exception. These last few days
the British public has been agitated
by two events—the report of the coal
commission and the strangling of the
Locarno spirit at Geneva.
Proceedings at the gatherings of na-
tion* on the banks of Lake Iceman
have been profoundly disquieting.
They have disappointed the hopes
of millions who had been taught by
the elaborate and sustained rejoicings
of the last few weeks to expect a new
era of concord and fraternity as the
result of the new Pentecost in the
Southern Alps.
The Locarno spirit had descended
in the form of the dove of peace 03
the heads of the assembled statesmen.
Our foreign minister walked about
like a man with a dazzling halo. You
felt that he was holding his head high
lest it fall off.
EUROPE’S “BROTHERHOOD.”
A new era had dawned on ths
world. The old evil dispensation of
war and hostile groups had gone for
ever. Henceforth Europe was a broth-
erhood with perhaps still one
naughty brother only left in the fur
country—Russia.
Then eame Geneva with its wailing
and gnashing of teeth revealing the
bottomless depths of flaming suspic-
ions and hatreds. The lid was taken
off the pit and it waa no longer the
Geneva of the society of nations but
the Gehenna of the war. The lid has
with some effort been pushed back
bnt the fires are there.
The Locarno spirit for a time be-
came an appeal. It is now a grim
jest. What appeared to be incense
waa after all but the fumes of brim-
stone. The miserable spectacle has con-
firmed the impressions of those who
like myself have been convinced that

Burglars Use
Water to Float
Cash From Safe
YORK. P« March 27.—"ob-
bing for money” Is the newest
game of the bank-robbing fra-
ternity.
Burglars broke into the Seven
Valleys Bank. They cut a hole
in the top of the safe with an
acetylene torch and then filled
the safe with water.
As paper money and securities
flouted to the top they were
snatehed from the hole by the
robbers who escaped with more
than StO.OOO.
League of Nations may well become
a danger.
It is essential to its successful
working that there should be one
great and dominant power which has
no traditional concern in the feuds of
Europen and whose sole interest is
peace on the basis of justice and lib-
erty.
Still this I fear is hardly the
time to make tn appeal to America.
Decent opinion in America must ham
been disgusted by this repellant sight
of caged nations snarling and scramb-
ling over the bono of contention.
To send a friendly invitation to
America to join the League of Na-
tions gatherings at Geneva just now
would bo like presenting her with a
card inscribed “Moloch. At Home.
Geneva. Ides of March.”
STRUGGLE NOT YET.
Still the struggle will not come
just yet. The Locarno pact was only
made possible by a feeling of univer-
sal exhaustion. There is a general de-
sire for repose and • nothing but the
mots implacable racial passions could
have roused the nations to this recent
exhibition. The tired feeling will now
resume its sway and nothing serious
will happen.
Neither governments nor peoples
want wars. Even military parades
like the Ruhr invasion are unpopular.
They cost money and are sterile of
results. The God of War must be sat-
isfied with a deferred sacrifice. But
there has been a gleam of savage an-
ticipation in his cruel eyes these las'
few days.
The other worry with which British
statesmanship is confronted is the coal
situation. This is immediate. If toe
government handles it as badly as it
did the foreign situation Great Bri-
tain will be plunged into the worst
and most disastrous industrious strug-
gle it has ever yet experienced.
To get the country well out of the
dangerous position into which the coal
industry has been allowed to slither
will need the most sapient direction
and the most skillful manipulation of
forces. For the time being everybody
concerned in the business is by way
of being exceptionally cautious. Mr.
Cook the miners’ real leader and Mr.
Evan Williams chairman of the Mine
Owners’ Association are treading
their way in the dark underground in
slippered feet.
The British coal mine is full of
gases that hang about around comers
and in crevices. They have accumu-
lated for years and ventilation seems
rather to have scattered them all over
the mine than to-have swept them out.
Matches huve been loosely droppc.l
on the tracks by reckless hands and
if an explosion is to bo averted th n
all must walk about with anguished
care.
CAUTION EXPLAINED.
That is the explanation of the ap-
parently exaggerated caution with
which the partisans have moved since
the issue of the report. This stoop-
ing npprebensiveness is the measure
of the peril which nil those in the
know realize hangs over not only this
industry but the whole of British
trade mid business. lx ng may th'S
spirit continue! It is the right atmo-
sphere in which to settle.
But the government ought not to
lose time in taking advantage of it
Every moment’s delay beyond what is
necessary for giving careful and
thoughtful consideration to the rec-
ommendations of th” report iniperi's
the prospect of settlement. The pro-
posals involve heavy sacrifices on all
hands. It Is just the situation where
some violent person who only sees
one side of the problem may gain a
hearing from one of the parties bj
representing that its share of the
sacrifice is unfair compared with th«
other's.
REPORT IS TEMPERATE.
The report is an able document
and its statement of the position of
tlie coal industry in Great Britain

difficulties is extremely illuminating.
It is completely freo from any taint
of partiality. It is essentially a jnui.'-
ial document. As for the recommenda-
tions they deal with the present sit-
uation and the future development of
the industry. As regards the latter
proposals put forward on behalf ot
the Socialists ami Trade Unionist*
are thrown over. These are dismissed
aa "unworkable” and "offering no
clear social gain.” The commissioners
go further and say that they percein.
in them “grave economic dangers.”
The temperate words used to char-
acterise the revolutionary plan are
characteristic of the spirit iu which
the commissioners have discharged
their functions. The proposals they
put forward for reorganising the in-
dustry constitute an unequivocal adop-
tion of every suggestion made in the
Liberal report on coal and power two
years ago.
SUGGESTIONS MADE.
Purchase of minerals by the state—-
pressure to unify and amalgamate the
pits with a view to saving costs and
more efficient working—where volun-
tary efforts to amalgamate fail
through obstinacy or greed of the re-
calcitrant owner then compulsion to be
applied—a fuller partnership between
employer and employed—improvements
in housing conditions and amenities
of life of the miners—contribution
from mining royalties towards the
miners' welfare—greater application
of science to the winning and using of
coal—state organization and assist-

Something that has never been done before in the city
of San Antonio as far as we know to have a menu as
given below actually cooking with the door locked while
on display in the A. B. C. Model Home. There have been
many Model Homes furnished with many new and at-
tractive ideas advanced but you have never had the op-
portunity of seeing an actual demonstration of an entire
meal cooking with the A-B Automatic Oven Heat Con-

The report of the Commission has
naturally given much satisfaction to
the Liberal press. When these rec-
ommendations were made by a Liberal
committee. Tories scoffed at the idea
and Socialists abused the authors. Ail
parties now treat the proposals seri-
ously. while still reserving full right
to abuse the authors. The Commis-
sioners predict that if their recom-
mendations are put into operation the
industry will once more reach “heights
‘THE FRIENDLY HOUSE”
of prosperity which will surpass any-
thing in the past."
Rut before we ever reach that effi-
cient and prosperous future there s
an abysmal present which must be
bridged. Th* coal industry is. accord-
ing to the Commissioners on the brink
of disaster. Without the government
subsidy the coal trade would now be
working at a loss of a shilling and
sixpence per ton.
Of the wages now paid more than
20 per cent is being found by the
British taxpayer. Or. to put it another
way. a shilling and 6 pence per ton of
profit and a shilling and <• pence per
ton of wages come straight from the
taxes. That is an impossible situation
for any country. It is quite indefensi-
ble for a country that bases its clain*
to confidence on the ground of the
soundness if its finance.
The commission demands in lan-
guage of stern force that the sub-
siday should be brought to an end.
On the other hand if it ceases three-
fourths of the pits close down unless
the costs of production can be dras-
tically and immediately reduced. Of
Northumberland coal I*9 per cent te
raised at a loss—-more than 00 per
cent of Durham coal and over 80 per
cent of South Wales and Scottish
coal.
TO KEDICK COSTS.
How can the costs be reduced at
once? Tie comSSissionera bluntly
answer that it can ouly be done in
three ways. The owners must go

they secured in the Ruhr boom. Third

profitable collieries.
1 fail to see how the cumulative ef-
fect of all these suggestions can bridge
the chasm which at present aggre-
gates 80.900000 to 40000000 pounds
a year. But another and greater dif-
ficulty presents itself. The heaviest
sacrifice is that which the miners are
called upon to make. Can they be
persuaded to agree to it? I rend with
care the speeches of Mr. Herbert
Smith. Mr. Cook ami other leaders.

point they seem to be adamaut. I
am afraid the chancellor of the ex-
