Mr. Bonar Law said that the signers of the report reconimeuded a further reduction in hours in 1921, because by then the output of 1913, the special -coal commission, of namely 287,000,000 tons, will be re - which Justice Sir John Sankey Is sinned. .

In connection with Field Marshal Haig's transfer from con]mand` of the British army on the continent to command the home forces, the Lon- don Times prints an appreciative article recognizing both bis failures and successes. "Field Marshal Hai;;," says the article, "probably fought more bat- tles than any British general who has ever lived, and their magnitude dwarfs everything in our military history. Waterloo would have been a mere combat if it had figured' in the catalogue ofhis engagements, and his battles were, on the whole, singularly successful. "His best things were done at the beginning and at the end of the war. The conduct of the retreat from Mons wasabove praise, and it should never be forgotten that his was the distinction of that greatest and nar- rowest of British victories, the first battle of Ypres. "In the last few months of the war he was as infallible as the Duke of Wellington himself, and when their history comes to be properly written we ,s'•hatl hail this . period as incom- parably the most glorious of our military history. "Haig must share the glory with others, but when all deductions have been made enough 'will remain to put. him among the first half dozen gen- erals this country has ever produced. Mistakes he inay have made, for bat- tles like Looswere premature, as we now' see in view of the amazing strength of; the German positions, and Passchendaele must always be 'ac- ci,unted a sone of the most tragic passages in our history." in the water.

Swiss Will Grant Asylum To Late Austrian Emperor A despatch from Geneva says: -- The Swiss Government has received Michelin prize for 1912 by a flight of eight hours and 23 nxinutes. He has made many long-distance flights along the British coast. He estab- lished a world's altitude record of 28,500 feet in 1916. •' "Going to the blacksmith shop to get my tin hat rebloeked" The matter is now in the hands of the Political Department. Sorry She Was Married. "And when you told him I was mar- ried," said the girl who had jilted him, "did he seem to be sorry?" "Yes," replied the other, "he said he was very sorry—although he didn't know the man personally." A Tell -Tale Document for the Peace Conference.

Defeated, Great Part of Prussians .Remain Unrepentant and Still Drealn of War. It'is 'safe to sdy no one in the Brit- ish army believes Germany, in a mili- tary sense; is ,any, longer capable of taking the field against the Allies, says a war correspondent. Premier Clemeneeau's famous computation of the potential strength of the German army as 600,000 men was teellnGcally accurate, but those 6QD,000 no logger 'constitute an , effective military me - chine. Of the total .number, three- quarters, or about 450,000, of the 1918-19 classes are in depots and are immobile for lack of equipment. Their discipline is of the worst. Thera is little respeetTer the off - cera, who dare not attempt to enforce their authority, and apparently num- bers of the men make no pretense of sul nxittfng^ to military routine, but live as civilians, wearing only enough 'uniform to enable thein to present themselves at barracks and draw pa - dons. The remaining 150,000 are re- presented by Hindenburg's two 'arm - les in the East, and these also seem ill-equipped and of questionable mor- ale. The volunteer battalions re. Gently organized were to be sent to join these arnites, but 'were found to be unable to proceed from lack of greatcoats, and the whole •system of ordnance, commissariat and 'trans- port seems disorganized. Not., Genuinely Reformed. Undoubtedly a large part of the military taste still dreams of a fu- ture war which will reverse the ver• diet of this one, and it would be rash, to believe any considerable part of the German people are really in their hearts repentant and honestly re- formed. But I do not believe any- where any Allusion exists as to the immediate future cr any hope •of be- ing able to renew the war against the Entente, The only national enemy now is Bolshevism, of which, beyond doubt, the German people •as a whole are terribly afraid. It is in the areas occupied by Allied troops alone thee any sense of security exists, KILLED AT YPRES Losses in 1917 in Salient Given iv British Commons.
