HAPPY ENDING TO
MYSTERY OF THE SEA
Captain Foster of British Ship
Wires His Wife from Isle
of Mauritius.
A despatch from London says: -A
mystery of the sea had a happy end-
ing when Mrs. Foster, e. resident of
Barry, received an unsigned cable
message from the Island of Mauritius,
in the Indian Ocean, reading:
"Safe, excellent health."
Mrs, Foster is the wife of Captain
Foster, of the British ship Trevessa,
which was given up for lost in the
Indian Ocean nearly a month ago,
since which time the wife' has been
prostrated with grief.
The Trevessa, a vessel of 5,000
tons, was on a voyage from Australia
to England, when, on May 28, a wire-
less message from her was picked up,
saying that she was sinking, and that
the crew had taken to the boats, The
wireless call was received by the Tres
wan, owned by the sante eompany,
-whrhv
Which se thatm l at time was vessel n but 300
miles from the position given by th
Trevessa. The Trevean hastened to
the scene, and searched for the sur-
vivors until June 7, when she reported
from Sydney that she had found only
wreckage and 'an overturned boat.
Coming on the heels of the message
t0 Mrs, Foster was a oeblegram from
the vessel's owners, filed by Captain
Foster ;from the Island of Rodriguez,
in wliieh he reported that he had ar-
rived there with 16 members of his
brew, and believed the boat containing
the others would. turn up.

COAL MINERS WARNED TO AVOID A STRIKE
Public Will Not Tolerate Sus-
pension of Supply This Year.
A despatch, from Washington
says: -Warning that public sentiment
"will tolerate no suspension of the
anthracite coal supply this year," was
served upon coal miners in session at
Scranton, Pa., by the United States
Coal Commission. The warning was
contained in a letter signed by Chair-
man John Hays Hammond, urging the
ruiners to seek an understanding with
the coal operators.
Mr. Hammond told the ruiners, who
are in session considering new wage
demands, that the public expected an
agreement and expressed the hope
that both the workers and the mine
operators would recognize their duty
to the public.
"The commission hopes," Mr. Ham-
mond wrote, "that the prompt .and
satisfactory response received to its
suggestions in the matter of the bi-
tuminous contract will be repeated in
the negotiations about to be under-
taken in the making of an anthracite
contract.
"The public,"` the letter adds, "ex-
pects an agreement and we have full
confidence that both miners and op-
erators will recognize their duty to the
public and will be able to effect a
speedy conclusion."
The miners are informed that the
commission's report on the anthracite
industry will be completed in a few
I days and forwarded to them for study
and warns' that "in the meantime we
urge upon both sides that in addition
to the welfare of each, that of the
great body politic of the American
people is involvd and that public sentl-
4 hent will not tolerate a suspension of

Isles were designated in the 1922-1923
quota list as the "United Kingdom," '; r..
whereas the new quota list for 1923-
1924 designates that part of the world
under the heading, "Great Britain and
Northern Ireland; Irish Free State."
No attempt is made by the Ameri-
can authorities to subdivide the quota
of 77,342 alloted to "Great Britain and
Northern Ireland" and the "Irish Free
State." It snakes no difference to the
American Government whether all of
these come from England, Scotland,
Wales, Northern Ireland or the Irish
Free State.
The new designation for the British
Isles is understood to have been made
so as to conform with that of the
British Government,
The letter concludes with the ad-
monition that "as the present Contract

In the standard pattern of the con-

"Forth . beast, forth, out of . thy
stall!" wrote rugged old Chaucer.
"Loots up, thank God for all. Hold the
high way and let thy spirit lead thee,
and the truth shall deliver thee; have
ho fear!"
There is always inspiration in the
talk of a big man who. after many
trials has succeeded. Every great en-
gineer has known the heartbreak of
a collapse of some careful plan he
worked out. He did his own part
well; some'detail, necessarily left to
a subordinate, went awry. The weak
man gives up and goes under. The
strongman removes up and goes on. De-
' feat is always an elective in this our
world. "The fault, dear Brutus, lies
not in our stars but in ourselves." It
is so easy to charge to. circumstances
that for which we ourselves are ac-
countable. .
When Thoreau said that a man sits
as many risks as he runs, he was wise
to the danger of an inertia that simp-
ly lets adversities fall like hailstones
on a roof and makes no effort to rise
and shake them off. It is forever' the
easiest thing to tell ourselves, like a
poor guide' on the Matterhorn,."I can-
noti" But the advice of a football
coach was, better: "If you think you
can, you can!" He who hesitates is'
not always lost; he may' be sensibly
thinking out the way he means to take.
But he who spends much time in intro-
spection that paralyzes action and
breeds a panic fear needs to rouse
himself to a determined course and a
bold. deed if he would save his soul.
