GROWING. THANK YOU! $2.00 a Year. 5c a Copy Emmett Scott Opens Liberty Campaign "The Natural Rights of Mankind Are Menaced for All Time by the Unholy Aggressions of the Imperial German Government," Declares Speaker. PLEADS FOR FIGHTING LOAN Confident Race Will Respond With Same Unstinted Liberality Shown in Contributing to Former Loans—Some Notably Large Subscriptions by Colored Americans. WASHINGTON, D. C.—Emmett J. Scott in recently opening up the campaign for the Fourth Liberty Loan before a large audience of Colored Americans in Howard theater, made a ringing appeal to the 12,000,-000 of his race to respond generously to the government's request. So impressed were those who heard his forceful address that many subscriptions were immediately handed in. Mr. Scott's address was in part as follows: As the president says: "This is the people's war. It is not a white man's war. It is not a black man's war. It is a war of all the people under the Stars and Stripes for the preservation of human liberty throughout the world. Civilization is in peril and the natural rights of mankind are menaced for all time by the unholy aggressions of the Imperial German government. The triumph of autocracy means the destruction of the temple of freedom which our forefathers helped in 1776 to erect, and which their sons have sacrificed blood and treasure ever since to perpetuate. The failure of democracy in this mighty conflict will entail disaster upon humanity through generations beyond number. "The American Negro is beginning to realize that if the American white man is enslaved by reason of this republic's inability to rout the Hun in the present struggle, the ultimate result will be his own re-enslavement and the loss of all that he has gained during the more than half-century since the Emancipation Proclamation. His fate is indissolubly bound up with the fate of the republic and he must join with it, loyally, wholeheartedly and to the finish, in every movement that will add strength to the American arms in the death-grapple with Germany. This common purpose must be contended for by a common brotherhood. "Already the Negro has responded promptly and cheerfully to the call for his manpower, and three times since the declaration of war against the Imperial German Government the Negro has answered generously, readily and without stint to the call for his money-power. "Now comes a fourth call for financial aid and it is not doubted that the 12,000,000 free Colored Americans, who wish to remain free, will again respond with the same or greater measure of liberalism and enthusiasm that has characterized them when the previous demands were made. Approximately, indeed, in view of the onward march of General Pershing's invincible crusaders on France's western front, the Fourth Liberty Loan is styled "The Fighting Loan." Black men are among these invincible crusaders with General Pershing. We who must remain at home are in duty bound to lend the limit of our aid to those who have gone abroad to bare their breasts to shot and shell in defense of our flag and the sacred ideals for which it stands. We cannot do this in a more effective way than to offer our dollars to sustain the government—the only government we know—and its fighting men while they are braving death to insure freedom and justice for all mankind. Even as they are making their bayonets fight in protection of the "jewel of liberty," we can make our dollars fight to gird up their loins for stronger efforts in trench and on field. "The American Negro points with pride to a glorious record in the immediate past. A few typical instances will show the trend of the racial mind as to its duty to the nation that is the Negro's only fatherland.

Williams, Monitor Representative, Grows Reminiscent As He Mingles in Crowd Pushing Fourth Liberty Loan. Friday evening, about 8 o'clock, I stopped at the corner of Sixteenth and Douglas streets—stopped because I could go no farther, the crowd was so dense. I asked a question and was told that "the fourth Liberty loan drive" was on, under the leadership of T. C. Byrne, accompanied by Desdunes' jazz band of six pieces, which rendered some pleasing selections in the intervals between bond selling in blocks of ten; speeches by prominent Omahans; description of the action on the front in France by a returned soldier; a recitation by a small but patriotic boy; songs by Rooney and Russell, Orpheum circuit stars, who pleased the crowd with their well rendered selections of "Liberty Bell," "Over There" and "Your Boy and Mine." All these, however, were forced to divide honors with a little Colored bootblack, who in a "jazzy" manner told the crowd that it took a long, tall, brown-skinned soldier of the U. S. A. to make the kaiser lay his weapons down. To the applause that echoed up and down Douglas street he answered with that familiar Southern melody, "Emmaline, My Gal," so satisfactorily that later on he was recalled to render in a deep, melodious baritone which he possessed that beautiful ballad, "Baby's Prayer at Twilight," the pathos of which touched the crowd so deeply that Mr. Byrne was able to sell two blocks of bonds instead of one. As the crowd dispersed to the tunes of that most "jazzy" band the common comment that greeted my ears was, "Isn't that band just great?" And these were the very same words that greeted my ears Saturday when I dropped off the car at Fifteenth and Farnam streets and joined the crowd that was following Desdunes' band, which for the second time in the history of Omaha was leading a pageant in which white bands were also employed. But it proves that the people of Omaha are living up to their reputation, being the first in line in the practice of "simple justice"; in other words, practicing democracy, which is, "All men up to the highest of their ability," rewarding merit wherever shown, recognizing efficiency by giving opportunity. I was so elated over the realization of this fact that I found myself dancing merrily along in the wake of the band, until, with some two thousand others, I was packed closely around the speakers' stand on the courthouse lawn, and listened attentively to our mayor deliver one of his usually good speeches. The famous soprano, Miss Grace La Rue, rendered several beautiful selections, and Sergeant-Major Carney told in a most interesting and graphic manner how the 20,000 Australians, of whom he was one of the 500 survivors, failed to hold after capturing the peninsula of Galipoli; of the horrors of their retreat; of the sufferings because of the lack of preparations in both the medical and hospital corps; of the stolid heroism of those undaunted Britishers, after being reinforced, landed in France, rushed on to the battle of Armentiers, where the sergeant was wounded and OMAHA, NEBRASKA, OCTOBER 19, 1918 1 THE WOODMEN OF THE WORLD BUILDING, home of the Chamber of Commerce, the wideawake organization of brainy progressive, broad-minded business men, whose energy is making and keeping Omaha in the forefront of American cities.

COMPLETE SHIP IN FIVE DAYS Belfast, Ireland, Workmen Break the World's Record in Preparing Ship SWISS WORKERS GAIN REFORMS Federal Council Grants Workmen's Requests for Better Food Control As I listened to the speaker as he told of the scaling of those blood-stained and bullet-scarred cliffs of the heights of Galipoli, in the face of that murderous fire from the heathen yet well trained enemy, his name, "Carney," kept recurring to my mind again and again. And away back in the recesses of memory I recalled another "Carney," who was also a hero, but a black man. And as I let my mind roll back to the events of the civil war I could picture the assault by the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts upon Fort Wagner, which was held by men whom tradition had taught to deal with the black man as an animal. And as that band of black soldiers wavered before that withering storm of lead, they were ever inspired to push onward and upward, over the top of those ramparts of that strongly defended fort—inspired, I say, by the sight of Old Glory always in the van, pushing forward, leading on, upheld by this other brave "Carney." Though wounded many times, when the final rush was over and victory won, they found him just inside the parapets, back against the wall, the staff of right—the Stars and Stripes—floating in the breeze; and on recognizing his commander he saluted and proudly said: "Colonel, the old flag never touched the ground." COMPLETE SHIP IN FIVE DAYS Belfast, Ireland, Workmen Break the World's Record in Preparing Ship For Service After Launching. Belfast, Ireland, has set a new record in shipbuilding that in ordinary times would be sure of standing perhaps for years. The workmen completed a ship in five working days after it was launched. The ship took the ways on August 22 and the installation of the machinery began the same day. On August 26 the vessel got up steam for the first time and two days later trials were completed. On August 29 the ship was ready for cargo service. Recently the Department of Labor was informed of a launching in Maine; where installation of machinery began within two hours after the vessel took the water. APPOINTED CITY PHYSICIAN Dr. James G.

SINGLETON. Special to The Monitor. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 7.—In the department of the interior, Secretary Franklin K. Lane has, since the entrance of the United States into the war, given the employees every opportunity to manifest and stimulate their patriotic interest in the gigantic struggle, and to testify to their devotion to the great principle at issue in it. One of the ways in which this is done is to have all the employees of the department, twelve or fifteen hundred, assemble every Thursday morning for fifteen minutes or more, and sing patriotic songs under the direction of a competent song leader, accompanied by the interior department band. Thursday morning, October 2, Secretary Lane himself came to the "sing," and presided, and announced that the program would be varied by having short liberty loan addresses of four minutes each by some of the men and women who do the work of the department. There was a representative of the Indian office, a representative of the women and Lafayette M. Hershaw was introduced by Secretary Lane as the representative of the land office. At the conclusion of Mr. Hershaw's remarks, he was warmly congratulated by Mr. Lane and a large number of the higher officials and fellow workers. Secretary Lane is to be thanked for this exhibition of genuine and concrete democracy. Mr. Hershaw spoke substantially as follows: Mr. Secretary, ladies and gentlemen: In the time allotted to me, I want to speak as representing the attitude of the Colored people towards this world-embracing struggle. We have always cherished the aspirations, ambitions and ideals of the rest of the population living in the United States, and we have with uniform and cheerful devotion assumed the responsibilities and made the sacrifices which such feelings impose. In the struggles which have been undertaken to achieve common aims, we have not been merely friends in the remote and detached sense in which that word is sometimes used, not allies, certainly not aliens. We have been and are an integral part of the membership of the nation, indeed American citizens In the commencement of the endeavor for nationality, we gave the first martyr, Crispus Attucks, who fell on Boston common, March 5, 1770. Five thousand Colored men followed Washington through the war of the revolution. We were with Perry on Lake Erie and with Jackson at New Orleans; in our civil conflict of the sixties we enjoyed the unique distinction of being loyal to two flags; we bore an honorable part in the liberation of Cuba and the Philippine islands, and in the present conflict we are contributing of our man-power without stint or limit. In the purchase of Liberty Bonds it will be found that when measured by the standard of accumulated possessions, that we have exceeded even our ability. If to achieve the aims declared by our great president, it shall be necessary to cross the Rhine and fight our way to Berlin, when our forces enter that city and file through the Brandenburg gate, the Colored soldier will be there singing not only the song of Moses and the Lamb, but swelling the chorus of the "Star Spangled Banner" and "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." COLORED Y. M. C. A. WORKERS LOSE LIFE IN BRITISH EAST AFRICA Washington, D. C., Oct. 14.—A cablegram just received from the British East African Expeditionary Force announces the death of Fred D. Ballou and Robert Pritchett, National War Work Secretaries for the Soldiers of Africa. The men came to their death by drowning, but the details are not given. Ballou was a graduate of Knoxville college. Pritchett received his degree at Lincoln university. Both men went to Africa early in 1917. They were part of that fine group of young Colored college men who volunteered early in the great war to do Y. M. C. A. work among the natives of Africa. Both men were devoted American student Association workers before the call to foreign service. ```markdown ``` Roscoe Conkling Simmons Famous Negro Orator Calvary Baptist Church 25th and Hamilton Streets Tuesday, Oct. 29 8 p.m. --- The names and addresses of 50,000 good reliable Farm Renters, Laborers, Factory Men or men in any other line of business who would better themselves by having a piece of farm land of their own.

Mother, I have been talking with Paul concerning the scriptures and by so doing have got him to the place where he is more mindful of the word of God. He reads his bible more and I believe is sincere in his study of it. And I am sure I will not be disappointed in him—for to me he is as a brother. He is my best pal "over here" and I want him to be a Christian and receive the very best out of life he can. If I am fortunate enough to see this war through safely, it is my intention to enter a theological school in order that my ambitions along religious lines can be carried out as I desire. Mother, right now the harvest is great, but the reapers are few, and I want you to feel that my being "over here" is for your's and my good and not to our detriment. For I can truthfully say that I have learned more over here in this short time than in all my year's in America, Why? Because I have had the opportunity of being instructed along the line of medicine by some of the most learned (Colored) physicians in the U. S. A. Also along with this I am doing clerical work that will help me progress in civil life should I be compelled to fall back on this. Mother, the statement Lincoln made is very true indeed, but our bible teaches us that these things must happen, that his prophecy shall be fulfilled, and as you have told me many times, it will pay to be prepared for no one knows the hour of his coming. Mother, please send me some more papers, for I don't want to lose track of the best country in the world—I presume the "merimaids" are reading all papers and letters you have sent me.

IMPORTANT During these times of high prices it should behoove every family to seek the prices that will best suit their pocketbooks. You cannot do that with- out investigating the prices and goods of the various business firms. During these war times the cheapest goods are almost too high for the poor man to reach, and for that reason the big business firms are curtailing their ex- penses and so co-ordinating and sys- tematizing their operation that they can sell their goods at the lowest pos- sible margin, It is, therefore, in keeping with this theory that the Obee-Hunter company, undertakers and embalmers, have pur- chased their own auto livery. ‘They purchased a black and grey hearse, one closed and one five-passenger touring car. ‘The same can be inspect- ed at their garage, which is adjoining their undertaking parlors at Twenty- fourth and Hamilton streets, Their object was to handle only the livery business through the Colored undertakers. ‘They offered them their livery cheaper than they were getting it from the other fellow. They were of the opinion that the Colored under- takers would readily give them their livery business, because they were all Colored and should work together in order to give their people the benefit of lower prices and at the same time open up a new field of employment for them. But, with the exception of Mr. Russell, the other Colored undertakers could not see it that way, so the firm has determined not to let their cars stand idle. There has been so much just com- plaint on the part of our ladies about the rough and uncouth manner in which they have been handled by the white drivers is another reason why the Obee-Hunter company thought that the other Colored undertakers would be glad to patronize a race firm. But not so with them, How they can ask Colored people to patronize them because they are Col- ored, and THEY themselves will not patronize a Colored man, is hard to see. Mr. Obee endeavored zo combine the undertaking’ firms in order to cut out two of them and thereby lower the overhead or running expenses of all, which would have finally resulted in lowering the cost to the public; but they were afraid that Obee was con- niving to put them out of business. Mr. Obee pointed out the various men that he had been in partnership with and had done business with and for, and asked them to inquire of these people as to his business honesty and integrity. He told them that he was in the grocery business with Rev. W. F, Botts; in partnership with Mr. George Watson, jr., several years; was in partnership with Messrs, John Dickerson, J. G. Jewell, George Wat- son & Phannix in buying and building the Mecca. He was president of the company and largely handled all the business end of the firm, He invites YOU to inquire of these people any- thing you wish to know about him, Mr. Obee offers this explanation to all strangers: that the people who knock his business, as a rule, are the ones he has defeated in politics or peo- ple who owe him. He has and still OFFERS a $200 REWARD to ANYBODY who can go before three disinterested judges and prove that he ever SWINDLED or BEAT THEM or anybody else OUT OF A SINGLE PENNY, OR OVER- CHARGED THEM FOR ANYTHING.

Important Notice Owing to the increased cost of publication, a new schedule of prices having gone into effect October 10th, The Monitor is compelled to increase its advertising rates. The new rates will become effective November 1st. Our circulation has rapidly increased since our former rates were established and therefore we should have raised our rates correspondingly before this time. There is a great demand for advertising space in our columns and for this, of course, there is a reason. Increased cost of publication compels us, and increased circulation justifies us, in advancing our advertising rates. Remember, please, that the new rates for advertisements go into effect November 1st. Another important matter: The war industries board has ordered newspapers and magazines to cut off all complimentary copies, etc., to send papers only to bona fide Paid Subscribers, all subscriptions being payable in advance, and to allow no returned unsold copies from newsboys and agents. This means, of course, that if you wish to receive the paper regularly through the mail, which is the wisest and safest way, YOU MUST PAY YOUR SUBSCRIPTION IN ADVANCE. It means that agents must pay for whatever number of copies they order. The Monitor has been quite lenient with delinquent subscribers, believing them and still believing them to be honest and therefore willing to pay their subscriptions. The ruling of the war industries board compels us to secure payment from all subscribers or else stop sending them the paper. We don't want to stop your paper. We don't believe you want us to stop it. We want to continue sending it to you every week, but we want you to help us double our subscription list by sending us a new subscriber. Don't compel us to stop your paper. Please send in your subscription promptly by check, draft or post office money order. Subscription price $2.00 a year. A BIG MAN FOR A BIG JOB Albert W. Jefferis, who has received the nomination for congress on the republican ticket is a man of ability and broadmindedness. He is big enough to tackle whatever problems may confront the country during these perilous war times and to help in the important work of reconstruction which is to follow victory. What concerns us most is this; from what we know of Mr. Jefferis, and we have known him for twenty-five years, we believe that in him our people will have just the kind of L Overseas Service RENDERED FREE BY THIS STORE Our Paris Office Buys the things that you order through our Overseas Booth on the Main Floor.

This cannot be said of all men who wear the republican label. We do conscientiously believe that this can be truly said of Albert W. Jefferis and for this reason we want to see him elected and urge our people to vote for him. The Monitor will never advocate the election of any man to any office, whom we have reasons to believe is unfriendly to any class of American citizens.

We believe Mr. Jefferis to be an able and broad-minded man and, incidentally, a republican, the party with which the majority of our people affiliate. We are for him because we believe him to be a straightforward manly man, with a clear head, a well-trained mind and a warm heart; a big man for a big job. Kaiser Bill has reniged and played a heart instead of a club. He's done for. Just now the allies are wondering what has become of him, because his olive branch hasn't even got his initials cut upon it. A year ago he was as noisy as a fog horn on top of a factory at noon hour, but now he is as dumb as an oyster buried in three feet of ice. The Yankees have certainly put a muffler over him that will last a long time. Too bad, Bill; but that's what every guy has got who has nabbed the notion that he was in partnership with God and could run the earth anyway he felt like. Now get busy and turn loose, and believe us, Bill, there will be some turning loose. It's a cinch that you and your prinecells will be working for the good of the world for many, many moons and everytime you get hold of a red cent that you hope to spend for a stick of gum, the tax collector will be around and take it to give some Belgian baby for its little red bank. There is no question but that you will be as harmless as a mouse after it has swallowed a peck of arsenic. You've got it coming. We did not intend to blow Berlin to toothpicks and pass around souvenirs, but since you have made such a cowardly tumble, we just feel like kicking you. And kick you we will. You'll be the football of Europe for more than a hundred years and you'll never reach goal. You lorded it over poor France and made faces at England, but the old U. S. A. put a crimp in your nut cracker. Of course, you thought we were as harmless as a zephyr in summer, but when we got loose you found out you had stirred up a hurricane. Too bad, Bill; too bad. You'll know better the next time. Just get busy with the pick and shovel now, and pay off the debts which we are going to pile up on your kingly back. In the October Crisis Dr. Du Bois says: We are earning money today. Never before in the history of the world has the Negro race enjoyed so large an income. Save! The fat years will not last forever. Save Readjustment and reconstruction after the war will mean hard times for many a black laborer. SAVE. Saving is made easy and absolutely safe today for the small investor. SAVE.

Mrs. C. Ridley, 1922 North Twenty-fifth street.—Adv. Police Magistrate A judge of exemplary character. One who has never drawn the line of distinction between religion or race. He has served the people during the past two years as police magistrate and his conduct has been such that he is justly entitled to a second term. Ng matter what your politics are, you should vote for JAMES M. FITZGERALD for re-election as police magistrate. SKITS OF SOLOMON The Kaiser's Finish SAVE SEWING LESSONS Obvious Observations The best observation from the lookout tower today is that Bill has fallen down on the job and declared bankruptcy. Just to think that history will give the highest niche to Marshal Foch, a descendant of father Ham! What! We're breathing the freest breath we've breathed for some time. The Spanish flu has no terrors for us now. Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are marching—homeward, soon! Third fourth Liberty Loan sure did put a crimp in things didn't it, Mable? Now maybe politics will get a look in. Our friend Roscoe is scheduled for Des Mines and Omaha on the night of Tuesday, October 29. Just so they let us have his silver tongue we can get along without the rest of him. Bring that petition around for the elimination of the present city administration and see how quickly we'll sign it. Have you bought your copy of the Children of the Sun yet? Get one and then pat yourself on the back for being such an important guy. Solomon will now have to go back to the common every day things of life, because the war is ancient history. Lay in a few spuds for winter, brother. They'll be four bones a bushel after while and then you'll be kicking yourself. We wish the flu would fly so that we can visit the movies. We never realized how important the movies were until recently. Thanking you for your kind and undivided attention, we will now see how much tobacco there is left in the anemic pouch of ours.

This attracted many of the pedestrians and automobile passers, who stopped and listened to the well chosen sermon by the pastor. The Bible class met this week with Mrs. W. S. Metcalf. Teachers' meeting and choir rehearsal were held Thursday night at the church. Word has been received from Corporal Frank Blackwell that he is at Camp Upton, so you know what that means—to France soon. Also we received a very interesting letter from Corinne Thomas, Editor. Lieutenant Reed, who is already in the "theater of action." Mrs. W. C. Ricks entertained at 3 o'clock dinner Wednesday in honor of Mrs. A. Williams of Topeka, Kan., and Mrs. W. C. Williams. Rev. W.

Space in this issue wil! not permit my saying what I would like concern. ing all the good things of Lincoln, However, it was my pleasure to at- tend Lebanon Lodge, No. 126, A., F. and A. M., one of the strongest and best working lodges not only in this jurisdiction but anywhere. One thing quite noticeable was the fact that so many young men, as well as older ones, are interested in the higher and better things of life and doin such good work in Lebanon. I am looking for other good things out of Lebanon soon, which I shall report later. But watch, wait and listen. One feature was the service flag with its six stars, a reminder that six of our number, with many other Lin- coin boys, have gone to the front to represent us in Uncle Sam’s great cause to make the world safe for democracy. ‘The various business men of Lincoln seem to be doing well, even in view of the fact so many have gone to the front. Merchants are advertising and getting results. Let us appreciate the invitations we have to visit such stores as Speier & Simon's, Mayer Bros., Armstrong’s, and buy your coal of the Voss Coal company. Then tell them you saw their ad in The Moni- tor. It's there. Look it over. Then buy at these stores. BERT PATRICK, Business Manager of The Monitor.

We, therefore, ask every one who reads The Monitor to cease not to tell your neighbor about it and let him read it for himself. See H. L. Vincent, the agent for Fayette county, and let him talk to you about it. Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Richardson are in the city visiting. They are, for a short time, in San Antonio.

THE MONITOR THE SLAUGHTER OF THE INNOCENTS Dr. Du Bois writes in the October Crisis: Attention has been called this year especially to the child and the United States government has been spreading widely the gospel of the preservation of child life. The death of some ten million men who would have been fathers of unborn children has made the world think of the horrors of war. And the greatest of the horrors of peace is the unnecessary and persistent slaughter of little children. It is a crime of every civilization and of every race, but we Negroes are among the guiltiest; among us from two hundred to five hundred of every thousand of our babies die before they reach one year of age. We have pleaded poverty, prejudice and slavery as excuse, but the time is come not to excuse but to combat with our own available weapons this murder. The remedy is, first, care and forethought in bringing children into the world, and, second, pure food and air for them when they come. We persist in keeping windows shut and living indoors; we persist in buying food carelessly and feeding all kinds of food indiscriminately to children. Outdoor life and simple, pure foods regularly fed would save the lives of a quarter million Negro children each year. SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS MEN The author of "Push" says, "Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them." This motto coming to the attention of a young man, who through adverse circumstances was forced to quit college in his second year, caused him to ponder and study it. His conclusion was: To be a success he must prove himself strong. As he had lost an opportunity to finish his education, he must carve for himself an opportunity in business. He left his home in Missouri. Following Horace Greeley's advice, he came west and landed in Omaha; attempted a start several times in different lines, and as many times failed; but being deeply imbued with one of the four cardinal virtues, "perseverance," he tried again. This time real estate, and in looking over the transfers in realty transactions one finds that the late successful deals, among them the sale of Dr. W. W. Peebles' home to St John's A. M. E. church for a parsonage, and from a prominent white physician a homestead to Mrs. Evelyn Davis of South Dakota, are due to the ability and efficiency of this prominent young business man and dealer in real estate and loans, H. F. McClure, 220 South Thirteenth street, where he will gladly welcome any prospective customers and all of his old friends. The Crisis for October is the annual Children's Number. It contains photographs of seventy colored babies. The cover is a photograph from life by Scurlock. Two tales for little folk are published after Sir Harry H. Johnston, with illustrations by Laura Wheeler. There are two poems, "O Autumn, Autumn!" by Mary Effie Lee, and "The Black Madonna and Her Babe," by Lucy B. Watkins. Augusta Bird writes a striking essay on "Race Purity."

WILL RELEASE MINERS FROM THE ARMY British Government Will Send 10,000 Back to Mines, Believing They Can Be of Greatest Service There. So important is the mining industry to the success of the war that, according to word which has reached the Department of Labor, the British government plans to return 10,000 miners to their work, releasing them from the army. These men entered the military service voluntarily or under the conscription act, but because of the urgent need of their services at home they will be sent back to the mines. Great Britain, according to some indications, is in danger of a coal shortage, and efforts are being made generally to speed up production. The output per man in England is not, from figures at present available, so good as in this country, where more coal has been mined than ever before despite depletion of labor power through enlistment and the draft.
