If these instructions become effective, only the minimum number of men sufficient to, ensure the safety of the pits and feed the Mine ponies will con- tinue their duties. This action by the Miners' Federa- tion follows the hosting at the pit heads in South Wales and elsewhere by the mine owners of revised terns of employment, to become operative August 1, which are most unpalatable to the employees, Despite the pessimism here, this action does not mean that hopes of settlement by negotiation must be de- finitely abandoned. The minors have placed their case unreservedly, in the hands of the General Council of the Trade onion Congress, which has re- quested an interview with the Prime Minister. In view of the Govern n ^.it's anxiety to bring the warring r • -re and employers together, there is a possibility that an agreement may yet be reached before the strike, which' might prove a catti'etrophe, definitely starts. Despite the'rosy lining to the cloud; however, pessimists insist that no agreement is likely through the usual bargaining channels, since each side is- se; ishly concerned with its own interests to the exclusion of considers tions of general welfare. The prevailing gloom is well ex- pressed in a London Tinier editorial, tvhdch. declares that the strike, if it materializes, will be a "disaster of immeasureable magnitude," which can give satisfaction to none but Britain's enemies. "It would be foolish to cherish any illusions or expect any result from a resumption of negotiations," con- tinues the editorial, "The remedy for the present state' of the industry pre - posed by the owners is longer hours and lower wages, end the miners will not hear of either. They have made no proposals of their own and their attitude is purely negative. They simply will not listen to the'terms put forward by the owners, who deeline'to offer any others. This means that both sides are marching steadily and deliberately to Ibatte," FLIER AT &I? -MILE SPEED PLUNGED INTO RIVER Had Miraculous Escape in St. Clair Ship Channel Wheel Engine Ran Out of Gas. A despatch from Mt. Clemens, Mich., says: -.Lieut. Harmon 3. Nor- ton, Marine Corps flier attached to this station for special training, was tecovering from the effects of *ting- ing into the S. Clair Ship Channel at a speed of sixty miles an hour when his engine ran out of gas and the pump on the reserve tank failed to work, Fellow pilots here feel that Nor-. ton had a miraculous escape from death in an accident, the like of which has never Leen known in the air ser- vice, He was rescued by the prompt efforts of Captain Frank P. Sinnot of the dredge Thomas A. Lees of Sar- nia, whs.. aao salvaged the airplane. Norton, with 'Lieut. Matthews, in a second plane, was ret: rning Wednes- day noon from Washington. Just as he was over the head of Lake St. Clair and was preparing to make his land- ing on the field his eegine, which had been working perfectly, stopped dead. His gasoline gauge registered zero. Turning on the reserve., Norton wait- ed for the engine to pick up. "I tried the hand pump and it too failed to work," Norton's report stated. Nature Working Change in Hawaiian Islands in Pacific A despatch from Washington says: -Mother Nature will produce a fair-sized continent in the mid -Pacific, It was predicted by Edwin Fairfax Naulty, of New York, who has studied earth mot'aments fur many years. He says he is convinced that the Hawai- ian Islands gradually and quietly aro being pushed upward, and within a generation will comprise a high and dry territory as large as Japan. Mr. Naulty predicted that the pro- cess would be unaccompanied by any serious earth shocks.

At meets in Pari•, and Brussels, British women carried off the honors' in competition with French and Bel -I gian athletes, and last week at Stant-! ford Bridge they again demonstrated thole superiority by heating world's! racerds. Woman athletic clubs are being formed everywhere. Efforts have been: Horde to point out the danger to wom-'. anhood of strenuous endeavors, butt such efforts always have been over-: ruled by medical opinion, which as- sert:s that little harm can lee done if; the training is carried on scientific-' ally. a .%newer t,- !est week's puree..

Indians, Chief Michael Twoaxe was buried in Caughnawaga Thursday. Chief Twoaxe, a law-abiding des- cendant of the once -feared Iroquois, was one of a group on the Reserve who tried to push the claim of the Six Natiane for $4,000,000,000 compensa- tion from the Stat: of New York for the loss of rights which had been their forefathers' before the white man's invasion. Claims were also to be pre- sented to the Federal government of, the United States and to the State of Vermont. It is estimated among the Indians that through the division each would come into the possession of a fortune of $260,000, said Louis Beau- vais, magistrate of the village. This hope was born about fourteen or fif- teen years ago, when certain lawyers visited this and other reserves and collected the sum of $100,000 to fight for a settlement of the claims, Essen to be Evacuated by French on July 31 A despatch from Paris says:- It is officially announced that Essen will be completely evacuated by the French troops by July 31.

Project to Dredge Thames to Accommodate Largest Ships A despatch from. London says: - American tourists in England a few yens hence may be able to begin their hurried sightseeing of the Old World by walking from the gangplank into the historic Tower of Loudon, as the Port of London authorities are considering a plan for dredging the Thames to accommodele'othe largest passenger vessels. The port council's engineers recent- ly submitted a report declaring that the river could be made available for large tonnage ships as far as the tower bridge for a comparatively moderate sum, and that there is suffi- cient property avail -able at the bridge to warrant building docks there. The council has not yet comp::eted its pians, but it appears likely that ucti; n wit: be taken when trade con- ditions are better. Tho project would require about three years. The river would be dredged from Tilbury to the Tower, a distance of about twenty { miles, at a cost of approximately £2,000,000, or about 59,700,000. - Public and commercial sentiment seems to favor the project, although ;there is certain to be hostility from 'the railroads and other interests de- pendent upon coastal haulage.

The map shown herewith is Et portion of a new road map issued by the Natural Resources Intelligence Service, which shows some of the main rcadl3 of Canada, together with the connecting roads in the Untted States. The fact that a direct route is now avail- able, over the bent of roads, from Chicago to Charlottetown, and that it is being used so extensively, is encouraging to idle many aegresaive organizations that aro co-operating, in the promotion of touring, and particularly to the Na- tural vie.-mtrer,s intellificnce Service, which has become a clearing -house for tourist Information in Canada.

A despatch from Winnipeg says: -Favorable crop weather is pre- valent throughout Western Canada. From Manitoba westward cooler wea- ther rules, not a single district report- ing a temperature higher than 88. Heavy rains cover the whole wheat growing area from Medicine Hat to the Rockies. 'Froin one edge of the prairies to the other has commenced the hum of railway activity which precedes har- vesting arvesting the crop, and which is felt from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Freight engines and box cars are being eal:ed west from Eastern Can- ada. Cars which have been lying idle for months are being renovated, and men who are accustomed to the work of transporting heavy ship- ments of grain are getting into over - ails. . The C,P.R. and the Canadian Na- tional report 50,000 box cars each with adequate motive power for all roiling stock ready. Tha crop outlook in Saskatchewan was much improved .by good rains. Saskatchewan Co-operative weekly re- port indicates generally good condi- tions, very good in centre and east. There is no rust damage anywhere. Any anxiety over moisture is relieved. The crop in Manitoba is making fast and some wheat will be ready next week. German Women Outnumber' Men by About 2,250,E A despatch from- Berlin says: - What is to become of Germany's surplus of women? This is the inter- esting question raised by the prelim- inary returns of the recent census, indicating that there are about 2,- 250,000 more woolen than men, due largely to the ravages, of the war. Among the more conservative fam- ilies, which believe that a woman's only worthwhile calling is to be a wife, there is consternation. The families had already considered the chances for their daughters marrying were limit- ed by the fact that they had lost most of their inherited wealth during the inflation period) making the -dowries small. The census shows that the chances of thesegirlsare even worse than they feared. Progressive women claim to see iii the preponderance of femalesthepos- sibility of woman's further emancipa- tion and her entering into fields of work heretofore reserved for men. They hope by sheer numbers to force the men to accept equality of the There is one category of German women not affected by the relative strength of the sexes -the widow in possession 0' a furnished home.

Despite mweh pro. page nda, : however, only twenty-eight members joined the .chub In a regent week, Natural Resources Bulletin, Tee' Natural Resources Lutalligence Service of the Department of tee In- terior at Ottawa sayer: - Canada is rapidly becoming a dairy country. This is evidenced in many ways, particularly in the growth of our exports of dairy products. It Is well for the country that such is the case, as authorities agree that there is nobetter means of keeping up the fertility of the soil than the keeping of cattle. Feeding to live stock the produce of the farm is just one atop nearer the finishing of the process of maintaining the food supply, It is interesting to note the large inereaee in the supply of Canadian dairy produce to other countries. Dar- ing 1926 exports reached figures much in advance of the previous year. Butter shows the greatest increase, the exports :for the last fiscal year totaIdng.24,501,981 pounds, compared with 18,648,968 pounds in 3024, the in- creased value being 53,645,271. Cream and milk showed large gains during the past. two years. Ie 1923 these were 1,712,245 gallons of cream shipped to the United States. This was increased in 1924 to 2,783,866 gel:one, while 1925 saw the record of 8,884,186 gallons being shipped across the eine. Exports of fresh, mills in 1923 'amounted to but 856,089 gallons, 1n 1924.they reached 2,191,395 gallons and in 1925 a total of 3,088,212 gallons went the the United States. Our exports of cheese, which for a time showed signs' of declining, are again en the ascendancy, being 126,- 903,200 pounds, this year, against 116,777,000 pounds last year and 114,- 648,900 pounds in 1923. Similar -large gains were made in exports 4.f milk . powder , in 1923 but 3,917,591 pounds ;were exported. This increased to 4,826,608 pounds in 1924, and again increased in 1925 to 7,206,677 pound%. It is doubtful if any other branch of industry can show such proportion- ate gains, in the pest throe years, as ltas'the dairy industry. It is but an- other indication of the possibilities of Canada's greatest natural resource -the land, millions of acres of which are still awaiting the settler and his plow. H.R.H. Refuses Orf er of 65 -Carat Diamond A despatch from Kimberley says: - The Prince of Wales visited the won- derful Valley of Diamonds on Thurs- day, and at the headquarters of De Beers he saw 52,500,000 worth of dia- monds ready for market, He refused to accept a diamond of • 65 carats which was offered to Slim as a sou- venir. He examined the great dia- mond with keen interest, but smiling- ly shook his head when it was pro. rented to him, He did accept, how- ever, a ctono of 12 carats, From the DeBeer's headquarters the Prince drove through the diamond fields, past great heaps of tailings, descending dater to inspect tbe actual digging. In the afternoon he inspeeb- ed a memorial to the dead of the Valley of Diamonds, built at the high- est point of the city, after the manner of the famous Ionic Nereid monument discovered at aanthos, in Asia Minor.
