HUNDRED • MILLION POUNDS DAMAGE DONE.
BY FLOODING COAL MINES
Resumption of Pumping Has Stopped Further Damage and
Saved the Mines --Owners and Miners to Meet With
View to Settlement -Men's Demand for National
Pool Cannot be Granted by Govermnent.
Lorudon, April 10. -There has been
gena'se.1 resumption of ,tumpinig in the
coal nines in response to the Miners'
Fed'eration's tele •ran to all •irbs
]branches, 'particularly in Sootland and
!South Wales, where flooding was moist
serious.
Fi!fesihire pnnLpmmen, however, re-
fused to return to work thenvseiv.es,
nor would they permit volunteers to
man thte punnps, on the ground that
the telegram was '"vague,"
In the district thirty-eight pits, one-
ployiing 13,000 underground workers
do d ible n to surface men, ere flood-
ed. Five have been completely 'acbaun+-
cloned,'and several others are iso flood,
led that operations could not be re-
sumed for months.
Damnage already caused by hooding
ys e'st'imated! at £100,000,000.
Reports from various coal fields to-
day ,show that the resumption of
pumping, acquiesced in by the miners,
has gone far to save the mines from
irreparable damage.
In other words, the Government
saved the mines for t'he nation.
It is expected than the miners will
un•cubtedl5* demand a national pool
in order to equ'al'ize wages.
The Government caairuot agree to
such a na'tieual pool, which is, in their
view, a worse form of subsidy than
would be nationalization itself.
Probably the conference will stick
on this, and it labors under the dis-
advantage of being fear too Targe 'a
boldly for practical negotiation.
The Prime MVIi.niister described it the
•other day as a body of 75.
Consequently, the Government are
continuing their prepawaleons to cope
with 'the national emergency, for, al-
though the Triple Alliance will not go
out so long no the conference 'eon -
times, the threat of a general strike
is held over the'comnnunity if the con-
ference breaks 'drown.
Thus, to -day Londoners promenad-
ing the -.streets and parks do the gear -
one sunshine had their Sunday walk
eni1ive'rie'd by the epectacde of troops,
both naval and military, in• full wax
kit, marching to the camp's and rail-
way sta t.^cnns.
Instruction's have also been iseued
to the local authorities throughout the
country that it is vital, in the view of
the Government, that the enrollment
and recruiting of the new defence
force and special constables should
proceed arpace.

Greek Cabinet is Reorganized
A despatch from Athens says:-
' Demetrios Gounaris, Minister of War,
has been mined Premier to succeed
M. Kalogeropoul•cs, who has resigned.
M. Theotokis, Minister of Justice will
take the portfolio of Minister of War,
while George P. Baltazzis becomes
Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Air Service to Transport Food
A despatch from London says:
-The air service is likely to be
used for the transportation of
food by the Government.
In recent conferences held by
the Government departments
for the discussion of the best
means of safeguarding the food
supplies of the public in the
event of a AllianceTriple . strike
the representatives of the Air
Ministry have taken an impor-
tant part.
Plans have been considered
for the use of airships .and air-
planes for this purpose.
At least four big airships
would be available for the car-
riage of foodstuffs from: the
ports to the large inland indus-
trial areas. Heavy airplanes
could also be utilized for the
same purpose, while lighter ma-
chines would probably be em-
ployed as mail carriers.
Hon. S. Fisher
Dies in Ottawa
A despatch from Ottawa says: -
Hon. Sydney Fisher, former Minister
of Agriculture in the Laurier A.dmin-
istration, died at 2.30 Friday morning.
He had been ill for many weeks, and
the end was not unexpected. The
funeral took place in Montreal.

REBEL SUPPLIES
TAKEN BY 'POLICE
Cork Raid Results in Capture
of Ten Lorry Loads of
Hidden Loot.
Dulbl nn, April 10. -The police • of
Cork city 'collected a great quantity
of booty Saturday during a raid; and
a three hours' 'search on the athletic
and ,spars .grounds sof the Muntaten'
Agricultural Society at Bailin Tempie.
Ten motor lorr'ie's were needed to re-
move the :goods, which included -one
Lewis gun, a motor car, revolvers:,
ammunition, military stores, food sup-
plies, 100 bicycles, officers' uniforinis
and swords.
Twenty-six Irish women, according
to the Republican Irish Bulletin, are
now under aares't. Eleven have toeL1
sentenced to teems of imprison
,.
while 'ag'a'inst 15 no charge has ye
been preferred. The Bulletiro alieges-
that there are eases where wo'nmen
have been detained in police batroacks
for several days and no other female
has been present in the building.
The 4 ,o'clock curfew has ,been'. em-
ployed in. Limerick, following attacks
on the police Friday nli'grht, when a
head constable and two sergeants were
wounded said a 'constable was killed.
A bomb was thrown and an old man of
60 was laillled by fragments and four
other civilians wounded.
'Saturday might in Camden . street,
Dublin, b•onths were thrown at a m+ili
tary lorry.and the soldiers •dii'san•ounbed.
and fired se'Seaaal volleys.
Constable Fred Lord was shot dead,
riddled with bullets, and a comrade
was s.en^iousiy wounded near M'acroon i,
when their car was ambushed and fire,
was opened en them from both sides
of the road:.
In Belies:it to -day two n •''' •nry
policemen were beiz1 up by
who took their revolvers and euaped.
This incident occurred in broad day-
light.
The military are adopting new tac
ties. Patrols heretofore drove off
when attacked. During g the post week
lorries were halted, soldiers dismount-
ed, spread out and opened fire prompt-
ly. In a recent Harcourt street fight
three Volunteers were killed by thein,
tactics.
Losses by Greeks
in Asia Minor War
Athens, April 1.0. -An official state -
men it issued to -dray estimates that the
total losses of the Greeks in the fight:
ing in Asia Minor at 600 killed and
3,500 wounded,
The tonnage of ships being con
str icted in Britain is a record, being,
nearly 130 per .'cent. above the high-'
est pre-war figures.
REGLAR
Germany Will Meet
Obligations, Says Dr. Simons
Berne, Switzerland, April 10,
-The German Foreign Minister,
Dr. Walter: Simons, declared here
Saturday that Germany would
make provision for th:e repara-
tions due the Allies, adding that
the German Government would
soon take occasion toprove its
good will. Dr. Simons made this
declaration in a conversation
with Dr. Matta, chief of the
Swiss political department. He
also conferred with President
Schulthess, and Vice -President
Haab.
University Attendance.
-:-,()n the face of things it may seem
unjust that the: City. of Toronto with.
:only between twenty and twenty-five
per cent. of the population of the
Province should have thirty-five per
cent. of the enrolment of the Pro-
vincial University. There are, how-
ever, two considerations which, if the -
facts were available, would materially
affect these percentages, One is that
the families of many students move
to the city while they .are attending
the University, and the otth•er that
there is a considerable number of
undergraduates who have no homes
and who on their registration forms
give only their boarding house ad-
dresses in the city.
Even as the figures stand the pro-
„portion is not out of place. It ,is but
natural: that a university situated in
the largest centre of population
should have from that centre a larger
proportion of students than from
other. places. If the Provincial Uni-
versity were situated in some small
city or town the only appreciable dif-
ference in the enrolment would be that
there would be fewer students from
Toronto. The enrolment from the
Province outside of Toronto would
not be materially affected. -To have
the Provincial University placed
where it is within easy reach of the
largest number is su:•ely the demo-
cratic way.
To -Prevent Further
Moves by. Charles.
Paris, April 10.-Negobiatients for
the pur,pq,se of finding a formula: de-
finitely
ef nn:itely guaranteeing countries adja-
.oenrt to Iiun!gary against further at-
tempts by former Emperor Charles
to reinstate hinvself as icing, have been
begun between France, Great Britain,
Italy and the memb'er's of the "Little
Entente," says the Petit Paai`sniesa, ,It
is probable that a .d'ecisi'on will be
reached in the near future, the neves-

OLD LONDON TEEMS WO SOLDIERS
FROM OUTLYING POSTS OF EMPIRE
11
Proclamation Summons Army, Navy,, and Air Reserves Groes to
Combat the Threaterxed Str le of Railroad Men and
Transport Worker s in Aid of Miners...•'
A despatch from London says: -
Froin Malta, Egypt and other parts
of the far-flung British Empire troops
are being brought back to save -it from
the menu• eof ' = o'ci'ali. .
,mo S sm
The m•etr•opodi.s of the world to -day
is tailing on the appearance of an
armed camp. Kensington Gardens,
Regent's Park amd':Hyde Park are be-
ginning to teem kith soldiers and
their offioers. These hien, fresh from
other lands, . give the only note of,
color to the depression of London.
From the centre of all Prime Min-
ister
inister Lloyd George looks out .at the
growing storm. He is alarmed, and,
fearing +elia:t..even the mobilized army
would not. be enough, he has issued
a 'call teethe former soldiers and navy
men in England to rally to the stip-
port of the Government in the stu-
pendous siiow..of ,a Labor uprising.
The nation already is in' sore
straits, with almost a million miners
on strike, but the railway men and
the transport workers, nunberini'g
more than .half a million, threaten to
complete tire paralysis of industry'on!
Tuesday by a 'strike, unless the Gov-,
eminent enters into negotiations with
the Miners on their omen. terms.
The most serious situation in arany,
years has arisen from the refusal of,
the mimes to agree to Mr. Lloyd
George's suggestion for a conference
with the mine owners on the question
of the return of the pumpn ren and
safety men to work. While it is en'
exaggeration to spay there is ,anything
revolutionary in the movement, there t
is no doulbt the small but ,ae'tive revo- !
lutioana.ry section will miss no oppor-
tunity to 'create trouble.
The Government has taken the
greatest precautions to preserve
order. All military and naval leaves
have been stopped and troops have
.been concentrated in London and in
other strategic points.
It is impossible to male a predic-
tion as to how' far the strike will
spread. The railroad men are known
to he divided; the engineers opposed
a 'sympathetic .strike.
On the other hand, the Government
is also said to be divided. The .Pre-
mier is known t'S'-be in, favor of a
compromise, but since Mr. Bonar
Law's re,s'ignetion from the Cabinet,
I is no lor•ger master in his own house.
Mr. Boner Law .could always be relied
upon to -whip the, Tories into line be-
hind the Premier, but Mr. Chamber-
lain is weaker than Mr. Law, and the
renal leader now • is Sir Robert Horne,
Chancellor of the Exchequer. Horne
is in favor of fighting Labor to a fin-"
ish now, and be is 'able to muster be
hind him the votes of the whole Tory
section of the Coalition Government,
He is said to have taken 'a strong at-
titude.against the Premier at the re-
cent Cabisn'et meetings; :in'sis'ting that
there be no compromise.'
I Few troops have been called in from
i Ireland, becarse •. they, cement be
Ispared,.
The .strike of the Triple Alliance
will begin at midnight Tuesday.
"This is our answer to the Gover,n-
•ment measures," said J. T. Thomas,
leader of the railroad men.
Approximately 2,000,000 worker
will Tuesday night have ceased their
duties in protest against what they.;
claim to he an 'organized attempt tc
enforce a eneral reduction in
gwages,
a claim which Premier Lloyd George
ySgorous'y denied in the House.
This.: is the central fact of tite labot.
situartion as it developed on Friday.
in a breakdown in the miners' confer.
ence and a consequent decision by the
Triple Alli.anoe-m'ad'e up of miners
and railway and transport workers. --
for the first time since it was organ,
ized that its entire membership,
roughly estimated 'at 1,000,000 miners
and 500,000 men each from the rail-
way
ailway and trans:p'ort workers' organi-
zation's, should quit work in support
of the strike of the miners.
