The figures atailable are appalling, and unless steps nre im- medintely taken to check the spread of disease cansed by malnutrition, a large part" of the infant population will be wiped ont by death, ' The health officer at Manchester has reported to the government oflicials that the mortality there is averaging iMiween 84 to 135 in every 1,008 child- ren onder the age of five. He places the blame entirely on the inability of the parents to procure suitable foad. Many mothers of nursing ehildrem, ha nays, have had no proper food for more than a fortnight, with the result that they are unable properly to nour-1 ish their offspring. A canvas smobg those members ol parlinment representing miming centrps shows their expectation is that the majority of the strikers will vate for a véturn to work in the approaching ballot. The result will be kuown on Thursday of ngxt week. One million miners and surface work. ers may therefore be back in the pits before the 'beginning of the year's yreatest festival of Faster, wen the ballot to strike was taken in January last 561,522 voted out of the 700,000 membership of the miners' federation.

All the same, [dry spirits ave still abroad among the men in South Wales, and Seotland, and elsewhere. Vernon Harishorn says the strike is only beginning and that meetings are being arranged to organize the work. ers in dogged resistance. © "And," he adds, "the miners will not veturn to work until they have wom their ful demands." ; But. though the end of the strike may be in sight, the spectre of famine continuce to stalk through the : land, with the prospect of rioting. Only 5,800 workers out of 1,070,730 have to far returned to the pits; und the ord ers given to the tropps show what task the government may havo to pro tect even these agu.nst the strikers' in timidation."
