WASHINGTON NEWS IN BRIEF.

Washington, D. C., Nov. 7. Plans for a settlement of the coal strike appeared tonight to be worked out to a successful conclusion, the miners haying agreed to enter upon negotiations with the operators at once, and the injunction suit at Indianapolis to be continued tomorrow for one week on motion of counsel for the miners; - The government, it is understood, will not resist the motion, and operators and miners are to get together immediately. The first thing to be done is to arrange for the men to return to work, following which the strike order will be rescinded and the injunction dismissed, provided plans do not go awry. . —o—.. The president conferred with Senator Hitchcock on the peace treaty and directed administration forces to throw the treaty into a deadlock in a last-ditch effort to safeguard it from radical reservations. The president, it was said, was willing to trust to his forces the adjustment of ‘ a compromise if the last-ditch fight fails and is willing also to accept reservations provided they do not nullify the treaty. In any event he reserves the right to pigeonhole the treaty if it does not satisfy him after final action. • —o —

HISTORIC HUNTING GROUNDS TO BECOME FERTILE FIELDS.

1 From federal indications the ! famous Kankakee marshes are" to be drained toward the great- valley ,of the Wabash. Gigantic dredging out--1 fits, both under government control and private ownership, are construct- ’ ing numerous immense ditches that measure many meters both in width and depth. They have .even gone so 'far as to stop traffic on certain railroads and passenger trains of the 1 United States railroad administaai tion have been detoured on account of these waterways crossing the right of ways. After the big dredges pass, railroad traffic is again resumed. At least one steam road entering the city has already experienced these conditions. The vast drainage out- ' lines being pushed to completion have even withstood the tests of lawsuits and higher courts, the latter ruling not long ago a decision to rush the work as-it is now designated in Indiana. The petitioners generally win out over their court offenders. In northern Indiana there is the stupendous Water Valley drainage and the Tuesberg ditch, the two largest projects .of their kind ever undertaken in the state. Thousands of acres of far-stretching Kankakee marshes will eventually be drained, and the one ditch alone will affect 'over 5,000 property holders along 1 its lineal travel, and all combined jwill eoat those interested fully onemillion dollars. The Kankakee m a rxlieshavefor —years —attracted local sportsmen to that region in the open seaspn for duck hunting, and it was always considered a lucky locality for Hoosier marksmen. These marshes start along the Kankakee river in the north part of Indiana and extend along its southwestern course as far as the capital of, Kankakee county, 111. From there on the marshes become less noticeable until they entirely diminish. The Indiana attack is upon the extreme north end Of these- lowlands and as the ditches come on a southerly course, like all great American/ ' waterways, the drainage would naturally come to the numerous tributaries of the Wabash, and eventually into the greater body. This is the most effective movement ever started on the widely known marshes and will be eagerly watched by many..— . ■

GERMANS SHOW FAST COMEBACK IN COMMERCE.

* -2v?«-«a the high price® -be; now, there can be no doubt that in a few years they will drop to a much lower level. Everyone who, has visited Germany is surprised and astonished by the marvelous business organization which so quickly has followed the war. “’ The German laborer 'is working' ten and twelve hours a day and is thereby making a wonderful increase in production.. It is said that the .German coal miners are working ten hours a day and are wijling to work on Sunday. All visiting business men agree that Germany has a great commercial future and that within less than five years she will be one of the great trade rivals of the nations of the world. What does this mean to America? It certainly means that the American manufacturer must reduce his cost of production. It will take a good republican pro.tective tariff to keep cheaply produced Gentian goods out of this country and it will take wise business men andreal '<drth into their labor if America liable tote a factor in the markets of the world. Germany lost the war for military supremacy. She should not be allowed to win the battle for commercial supremacy. s

AMERICAN LEGION.

The interest of the entire nation : will be centered upon Minneapolis [ next week with the first national convention of the American legion convening there. This organization has spread, so rapidly over the country that its has been much greater than anyone had anticipated. The legion has over a million members. Organized last March at Paris, holding a first meeting at St. Louis, forming a temporary organization and after becoming incorporated, a proceeding very seldom favored by the national government, announcing a membership of a million —and all 'being accomplished in eight months—never before has an organization taken such enormous strides. Probably the chief cause for its progress is the fact'that the legion stands .first for 100 per cent Americanism. This policy stands out as no other policy and. is the very foundation of the organization. Add to this the fact that it is nonpolitical—that the members have nothing at heart except the ideals expressed in their constitution —and by the energy displayed by them—the legion bids fair to become the largest organization in the country. .Already congress has seen fit to pay, close attention to resolutions adopted by the legion. Legislation pertaining to bonus bills and reorganization of the military forces cation of the policy to be adopted by the legion. 3 __ ir Clergymen throughoutthe country will devote their sermons to the ideals of the legion on November 9th, and celebrations on Armistice day will be held generally. w

SOME ERROR IN PHRENOLOGY

* Doctor Probably Satisfied There Was Reason for the Incarceration of Hla Acquaintance. When a well-known doctor, an enthusiast on phrenology, visited a lunatic asylum In Paris, he r was shown

I can discover no trace of madness about you/and you seem to act and speak sensibly enough?" Said his guide: “It’s not a bit likely that you will detect any trace of lunacy in the head which you now see on my shoulders; for you must know that It is not my head at all. I only had It stuck on after I was guillotined during the Revolution.” The doctor was satisfied.

HOW IT WORKED.

“I can’t make ’em shine like I used to, ’cause it takes a drink of whisky to do that,” said the old colored window washer in a downtown office building. “ With that remark the dizzy blonde stenographer woke up and sang out, “What on earth has whisky got to do witii winlow cleanlngT’ _ - Sam had his answer ready and told her: “Miss, yen see I would drink the whisky and then I blows my breath on the window. Lady! Lady! How it does make them windows shine.” — Indianapolis News.
