GREAT BRITAIN SUFFERS FROM COAL SHORTAGE Many Industries Closed and Food Distribution Centers Abandoned. MINE STRIKE IN EFFECT LONDON, April IS.—Appalled at the creeping paralysis attacking her Industries. Great Britain today lost some of her joy at the cancellation of the triple alliance strike. Hundreds of small businesses closed tbslr doors, unable to continue without increased supplies of coal. The expense of meeting the situation and the suffering of thousands of unemployed continued unabated. To cut the cost somewhat, the great food distribution centers were disbanded and the parks again were open to the public. Thousands passed through the playgrounds which a few hours before had been filled with tins and cases of provisions intended to withstand labor's siege. RECRUITING CONTINUES. Recruiting of defense forces continued. With the miners still on strike and radicals in allied organizations dissatisfied ■with cancellation of their strike order, the government took no chances on a surprise attack. The newly recruited forces donned the government khaki for the first time last night. There was an anxious feeling In official circles that the problem has not been settled. It was feared that unless the miners are placated with substantial wage adjustments that serious difficulties will arise when railway men and transport workers face a revision of their scales. WELSH AND SCOTCH MINERS BITTER. Among the miner*, the Welsh and Scotch are bitter. There was little hope that they will return to work soon. In other districts the strike funds have been disspitated and the workers already have shown a desire to return to the pits and let their leaders reach an agreement with colliery owners on wages. No steps toward settlement of the dispute have been taken as yet. but it was believed the government will attempt to obtain coal from other sources, permitting the negotiations to go forward unhurriedly. There was slight hope that a real peace will result from a miners meeting called for next Friday. City Schools Art Work on Display On exhibition in the delivery room of the central branch of the public library, in a case devoted to such purposes, may be seen a number of wood blocks and prints made by the pupils of the grade schools under the direction of Miss Florence Fitch, director of art instruction in the city schools.

Copies of school periodicals, the Bell News, Block and Type, the Vonnegut Times and the Merritt News, which are the work of the pupils, form a part of the exhibit.

HOROSCOPE "The stars Incline, but do not compel!”
TUESDAY. APRIL 18. Astrologers read this as a doubtful day, although friendly stars dominate. Mars and Mercury are in benefle aspect, while Saturn and Neptune are adverse. Editors and writers should benefit greatly from this rule, which seems to indicate Increase of influence and many honors. Mexico comes under better conditions that should benefit the United States. Persons whose blrthdate It Is should take care of their health in the coming months. The year may be unsettled, but can be made prosperous. Children born on this day may be rather careless and slow to accept responsibility. These subjects of Arles are on the cusp and should have many good Taurus traits. ‘PICK A PAL IN CHINA,’ SLOGAN Effort to Be Put Forth to Aid Famine Victims. ‘‘Pick a Pal in China for a Day” Is one method for Individual effort In saving starving millions, suggested by Near East Relief headquarters, 403 City Trust building, for the Armenian-Chlnese relief campaign to be conducted In Indiana from April 24 to May 7. The thought behind this ‘‘Pick a Pal" appeal Is for men, women and children of Indiana to choose, figuratively, a Chinese famine victim as a friend for a day and give what they spend one day on themselves or a friend, to the joint relief fund of which Thomas C. Day Is treasurer. • No American Is so poor that he cannot save a life at the lowest rate ever quoted, one dollar a month," says C. F. Coffin, chairman of the local executive committee for the relief appeal. Mr. Coffin's committee is endeavoring to make next Sunday's mass meeting at the Gipsy Smith tabernacle, when Dr. Sze, Chinese minister, and Lady Anne Azgapetian will be the city's guests, an outpouring of religious forces that will compare with the crowds that nightly heard (tipsy Smith. Lady Azgapetian. a beautiful woman, served with the Russian Imperial Red Cross in the World War before Russia fell Into the hands of the Bolshevists. Her husband is General Mezrop Azgapetian of foreign military fame. The Indianapolis News Newsboys’ Band will be a feature of the meeting Sunday afternoon at the tabernacle.

WAR DEPARTMENT CANNED MEATS
STAMPEDE FOR REVENUE JOBS Horde Hungers for Federal Pie in Local Office. When M. Burt Thurman of New Albany, who has been nominated for the position of collector of internal revenue to succeed Williem L. Elder, enters upon his duties he will find himself swamped under a tidal wave of politically starved Republicans, anxious to serve their country—at a consideration, of course. Not a day passes without a flock of callers at the Internal revenue office asking about positions, salaries and whether or not certain jobs are under civil service. It Is very noticeable, however, that the prospective job holders are Interested far more In the question of salaries than In the matter of duties. Apparently many of them feel that a Federal job consists of getting one’s name on the pay roll and calling around on pay days for checks. For example only a few days ago a blacksmith, who had not finished the grade schools called at the office to see if he would care for a Job of field inspector. The salary Interested him and the Job interested him, but he lost a great deal of his anxiety for the position when It was explained to him that field inspectors are called upon to handle such trifles as making detailed examinations of the books of banks and large corporations to see if proper income tax returns have been made. Asa matter of fact the great bulk of these loyal supporters of the G. O. P. are going to be disappointed In their mad stampede for the Federal pte counter, or at least that part of It under the Department of Internal Revenue, for there are fewer than 100 places to be filled by the new collector. Os these about fifty-seven are field men vvho draw salaries ranging from 51.300 to SI,BOO a year. Then there are the ten division chiefs who draw from $2,000 to $2,500 a year. Os the office force ■ of about eighty persons all but twentythree now are under civil service. So It looks very much as If loyal Republicans will be forced to start some sort of a drive for funds for the relief of sufferers from the famine of political offices that now conronts the falthul already separated rom political Jobs 11/ heartless Democrats for eight long, lean years.

Denies Alcoholism Caused Boy’s Death Special to The Times. SHELBY VILLE, Ind., April 18.—Denying a report that their son, Clyde, 18, died from acute alcoholism, Mr. and Mrs. Allen Fisher of Moral Township stated today that an Investigation will show several surprising circumstances In connection with the affair. The boy died at his home a week ago, following an illness of two weeks, during which he suffered great pain. According to Mrs. Fisher the boy informed her that he became ill after drinking “white pop,” and his parents believe his death was caused from poison which was placed In the pop by a companion. . It Is probably that an Investigation of the affair will be made by the Shelby County grand jury at Its next session. WAR FEARED YEAR BEFORE ILS. ENTERED (Continued From Page One.) ness. The Navy Department made complete plans for mobilization, and on April 27 I approved the order, and It was forthwith sent to every ship. It was accompanied by the mobilization sheets, showing when each battleship and destroyer would be available for service. The test of the mobilization order follows : NAVY DEPARTMENT WASHINGTON, April 27, 1916. CONFIDENTIAL. From: Chief of Naval Operations. TO Subject: Mobilization Plan. 1. The following order hag this day been approved by the Secretary of the Navy : “1. in case of mobilization for war In the Atlantic the organization of the naval forces will be as Indicated in the mobilization sheeet* published from time to time by the department. “2. Plans will be developed by all the officers concerned for execution upon the receipt of the order to mobilize. "3. The order to mobilize when received will be construed as an order to take all necessary action for the rapid assembly of ships at the rendezvous in all respects ready for war service. "4. The rendezvous Is designated as Chesapeake Bay. 2. Copies of mobilization sheets are forwarded herewith. This, as the order Itself Indicates, was a strictly confidential communication. Congress alone has power to declare war,

and no war order may be issued until It has given authority. But when war threatens It Is the Navy’s duty to get ready for emergency. As the first line of defense It must not be caught napping. Mobilization is the next step to actual hostilities, and Is Justifiable only when conditions are extremely threatening. That was the case In the spring of 1916. As it happened, Germany yielded. She replied to our ultimatum with a declaration that her government was "prepared to do Its utmost to confine the operations of war for the rest of Its duration to the fighting forces of the belligerents.” She further promised that merchant vessels should no longer be sunk without warning or without saving human lives, except In cases where they attempted to escape or to offer resistance. WAR STAVED OFF FOR YEAR. Note the phrase “for the rest of Its duration.” This made the pledge binding until the war ended. Within eight months Germany was laying her plans to shatter this solemn promise, and within nine she had repudiated It. For the time, however, it averted the rupture between the two countries, and postponed for nearly a year what many of us by now had come to regard as Inevitable. But this I want to emphasize—ls Ger-

many had declined to abandon the sort of warfare the Sussex sinking represented, President Wilson would have sent Bernstorff home in the spring of 1916, and we would have been at war, In all human probability, before midsummer. We were set for this program when Berlin backed down. Early In 1915 I asked the general board to make a study and submit recommendations concerning “the preparation necessary to be made by the bureaus and offices of the department to insure a state of preparedness for war.” On March 13, 1915, the board, then headed by Admiral Dewey, furnished the desired plans. I sent them to each bureau chief with instructions to, comply with their requirements. MYSTERIOUS PERSON, DAVIDSON, SAILS. War plans had been made already, and corrected up-to-date, for the fleet. In July of 1915 I invited Mr. Edison and twenty other eminent engineers, scientists and inventors to devote their genius to naval efficiency. I urged them to attempt to discover some effective means for combating submarines. On Oct. 7 I directed the general board to prepare a five-year building program for the Navy, on an estimate of SIOO,-

For two years before war did come we worked to get the whole Navy ready, and when the mysterious 8. W. Davidson sailed for London In March, 1917, I knew from Admiral Mayo, commander In chief, that the fieet was in such good condition that only a word would be required to mobilize It for war.

INGROWN TOE NAIL TURNS OUT ITSELF
A noted authority says that a few drops of “Outgro” upon the skin surrounding the ingrowing nail reduces Inflammation and pain and so toughens the tender, sensitive skin underneath the toe nail, that it can not penetrate the flesh, and the nail turns naturally outward almost over night. “Outgro” Is a harmlesi, antiseptic manufactured for chiropodists.
