( Washington. Oct. 28.--President Wilson and the' members of his cubihet have pronounced the proposed strike of bitumiuou? coal miners announced for November 1 a crime against the government and the people of the country. They brand the strike both morally and legally wrong and declare in a statement to the public that the law will be enforced and means be found "to protect the interests of the nation in any emergency that may arise ;out of this unhappy business." In plain, vigorous language the president announces that the strike cannot be permitted under the laws of the government for protection of society. The government, the president says, will use every means within its i»ower to prevent the strike and keep the mines operated. The decision means that unless the miners call off t}ie strike they and their officers will be prosecuted for a high crime against the government. Government Will Operate If Necessary. It means also that the government will net hesitate to keep the mines operating, even if it may be necessary, to keep them running, for the government to operate them and protect them with its strong military arm. But the president hopes that It will not be necessary to prosecute the miners, and appeals to their ofllccrS and to the miners as individuals at once to recall all strike orders, announcing thai he stands ready to see that their differences with the operators are fairly adjusted by arbitration. After the attitude of the government had been Informally discussed in official quarters outside the cabinet, there was a well defined opinion that the miners would not continue to defy the government. After reviewing events leading up to the strike call, and dnlnly declaring the walkout was authorized without a referendum vote of the workers, the president says: "The country Is confronted with this prospect at a time when the war itself is still in fact, when the world ls» stjjl In suspense as to negotiationsv for peace, when our troops are still being transported and when their means of, transportation is in urgent, need of fuel. "From whateref angle the subject may be viewed, it is apparent that such a strike in such circumstances would be the most far-reaching plan ever presented In this country to limit the facilities of production and distrlbut also of the general public, may fea fully protected." Lewis Places Blame on Operators. Bloomington, lil., Oct. 28.--John L. 1-ewls, acting president of the United Mine Workers of America, declined to state specifically the attitude of the United Mine Workers toward the statement of President Wilson, made regarding the proposed strike of the bituminous coal miners of the natlou. In regard lo this Mr. Lewis would only say; . "I am an American, rree bo^n, with •11 the pride of my heritage. I love^ ray country with Its institutions and traditions. With Abraham Lincoln I thank God that we have a country where men may strike. May the power of my government never be used to throttle and crush the efforts of the toilers to improve their material welfare and elevate the standard of their citizenship." When asked to make a statement upon the right .pC miners to strike on November 1 in the face of the critical conditions he said: "The coal operators have not offered a single constructive suggestion designed to avert this catastrophe. All through the negotiations at Buffalo, later at Philadelphia, and still later at Washington, the miners waited in vain for any counter proposal to be submitted by the operators. "During the conference with Secretary Wilson at Washington, we skid many times that we were willing to enter negotiations with the coal operators without reservation to conclude the making of an agreement forthwith. The offer that we made was repeatedly declined. The responsibility for the stoppage of work in the bituminous coal districts must necessarily lie with the coal operators." Four Governors Back Wilson. Governors of four states, three Republicans and one Democrat, have oxpressed their entire approval of the stand taken by President Wilson in regard to the threatened strike of soft coal miners, as follows: By Gov. Frank O. Lowden. Springfield, III., Oct. 28.--The statement of the president makes the Issus plain. When a special interest conflicts' with the Interests of the people ns a whole the former must give way. The strike, no doubt, has been the most powerful weapon In the hands of labor to Improve its condition. So long as the strike affected directly only the employer the public could not object. The threatened coal strike, however, is a strike against the American public. In fact, it is likely that the public will suffer more than the operators' themselves. Whenever any organization, whether of capital or labor, becomes so powerful as to be able to give or to withhold from the public the necessities of life, such organization must come under the control of the government. Otherwise the part becomes greater than the whole. If the only alternative to a strike or lockout by such an organization Is the compulsory arbitration of differences between employers and employes engaged in such vital undertakings, compulsory arbitration to that extent will have to come. Those leaders of labor who meet such a suggestion with the threat of a general Btrlke do not help the cause of labor. A general strike woifld mean, In effect, an effort to substitute Soviets for the duly constituted authority of the land. The people are bution of a necessity of life and thus ; not yet ready to abandon their form of Indirectly to restrict the production j government. and distribution of all the necessaries j Illinois will co-operate with the of life. "A strike under these circumstances Is not only unjustifiable. It is unlawful. Requests 8trike Order Bs Recalled. "In these circumstances I solemnly request both the national and the local officers and also the individual members of the United Mine Workers of America to recall all orders looking to a strike on November 1 and to take whatever step? may be necessary to prevent any stoppage of work. "It is time for plain speaking. These matters with which we now deal touch not only the welfare of a class but vitally concern the well being, the comfort and the very life of all the people. I feel It my duty In the public Interest to declare that any attempt to carry out the purposes of this strike and thus to paralyze the Industry of the country, with the consequent suffering and distress of all our people, must be considered a grave moral and legal wrong against the government and the people of the United States. "I can do nothing less than to say that the law will be enforced and means will be found to protect the Interests of the nation In any emergency that may arise out of this unhappy business. "I express no opinion on the merit# of the controversy. I have already suggested a plan by which a settlement may be reached, and I hold myself In readiness at the request of either or both sides to appoint at once a tribunal to investigate all the facts with a view to aiding in the earliest possible orderly settlement of the question at Issue between the coal operators and the coal miners, to the end that the /ttst rights not only of those Interests president tQ the extent of its power, to the end that its people shall not suffer. By Gov. W. L. Harding, D«s Moines. Ia.. Oct. 28.--In reference to the coal strike, let me say that the people of Iowa generally feel a strike at this time Is 111 advised. There is also feeling that the public should not be called upon to suffer on account of the fight between the operators and mine workers, and the feeling is also strong that the federal or state governments, or both combined, shrtuld prevent the strike by seeing to It that the operators keep the mines producing com. By Gov. James M Cox. Columbus, O.. Oct. 28.--I will say that the president has expressed the conscience of the nation. By Gov. Louis F. Hart, Tacoma. Wash., Oct. 28.--The people of this state shall not freeze for lack of fuel this winter. In a statement the governor declared the full power of the state government would be evoked If necessary in support of the stand of the federal government against the strike of the soft coal miners called for Nov. 1.

It Is believed that the rubber tree was discovered by a Jesuit missionary, Fr. Mancelde Esperanca. He found it while on one of bis apostolic Journeys among the Cambelas Indians of South America and gave It the singular name of the seringuelra, because he remarked that the savages used the sap of this tree, which hardens quickly, to make rude bottles that shaped like a syringe.

September is derived from the Latin word Septem. meaning «even. rhi* being the seventh month according to rb# ancient Roman caleudar. It would seem as If all of the lovely things designed for this yeiar's debutante might be labeled after the good old birthday fashions of long ago: "For a Good Little Girl." Certainly the girls of today have earned their right to the most beautiful and the most frivolous of lovely clothes through the faithful, unflagging and untiring war services, observes a fash- Ion writer. Indeed the debutantes of last year deserve a special inning this year. It used to be said one could tell a debutante by her nice, clean little white gloves which she wore throughout the evening, never removing them even for supper; for a debutante of other days was a demure and timid little soul who carefully refrained from "unladylike" behavior, and certainly she never "ate." s^e only "nibbled" at parties. Nowadays debutantes wear no gloves and do not worry about their finger tips. New Dance Frocks Are Fairylike. Some of the new dance frocks are fairylike In their beauty, fashioned of clouds of tulle and filmy lace showing through the stuff. The life of a tulle frock is just about one evening. I know of nothing mofe arresting than a recent visit to a smart couturiere, where six little dance frocks hung waiting to be freshened for the next "fray." The tulle hung In streamers on some and one had been "melted" by a sudden downpour of rain. Some of the tulle frocks--for the most part of white, as properly the debutante's which show with Just enough scintillation through the gauzy meshes. Simplicity the Debutante's Note. One expects the debutante to bo gowned with simplicity, and wise mothers follow this rule In the choice not only of the debuting gown but in the selection of the greater part of the wardrobe as well. The simpler fabrics such as chiffons and georgettes are preferred to the heavier metallic brocade and velvets. The gowns of pastel taffetas are lovely for Informal occasions. With these little things with their long slender bodices, pointed in front and fitted with a sash in the back, are worn tiny caps of the pastel silk to match the dress. This is a Parisian fashion Just being shown over here and suitable for theatre and restaurant wear. Even in ffie smaller cities young girls go about nowadays to restaurants and cafes for the dancing. which seems to be more sought than ever. It is for this occasion that the taffeta frocks of the lovely pastel shades and their ' accompanying caplets are worn. The favored shade for "evening wear in the gay French city for the debutante is emerald green. This is enchantingly combined with silver, and I am sure we can search far and wide before we can find a more beautiful color scheme. Canary yellow Is also very much liked this year, but the more pronounced shades are left for older and more sedate people. It Is to the young girl that the \\ A lono-waisted frock of changeable taffeta, a taffeta cape with plaited ruchlngs and a pink chiffon frock spotted with bows of satin ribbon: " frock should be--are delightfully combined with a shadow lace. The use of lace Is a revival of a bygone day. for it has been many years since the lace trimmed hall gown. This type of frock is rather refreshing after the more sophisticated ones of brocade and tinsel which prospered for a time. Of course satin, white or palest flesh pink, Is used as a foundation for the tulle and lace dancing frocks. The satin foundation is tight and narrow and shoit and the overdraperies are so placed that they form the extended hip seam not only on maturer models but on the most yov.thful as well. One maker has pailletted an underneath layer of tulle with silver spangles lovely overblouses will appeal the most. Some of these, to be worn with skirts of heavy black or midnight blue, are quite long, reaching to within a foot of the hem. Such an overblouse (of sand colored georgette Is braided from throat to hejn in black and gold threads Imd held in at the waistline with a string belt braided with black and gold. This is worn over a black satin skirt. A companion frock to this, reproduced In midnight blue serge, has the very long overblouse of black satin embroidered in Chinese motifs in colored threads and suggesting a mandarin's coat. The embroidery is deftly done and not in the least garish or conspicuous. . The New Prince of Wales Goat The newest sport skirta are plaited of plaid and worn with velvet jackets or silken sweaters in dark tones. The sweater is a feature of one's wardrobe which must not be overlooked either by young or old. The silken sweaters with their excellent lines and good service have returned to favor and are preferred for genuine use in the darker shades, browns, blacks and blues. Now and then the debutante exercises her Ingenuity and lightens the dark tones by the Introduction of some gay and contrasting checks or stripes interwoven in the knitting. A rumor from across the sea tells us that a new coat for the young girl has been copied from one of the Prince of Wales'. 'Doubtless he will wear such a coat In this country and it is just as well to know that the English girls have adopted It as the preferred winter wrap. The coat in question is quite long with slightly! flaring skirts. A wide and rolling col- j lar ended at the waistline with one j button to fasten the coat together. It | does sound smart and can be charm- ! Ingly developed In almost every mate- | rial and trimmed to advantage with a large fur collar. The same rumor says that the Sam Brown belt, which was so much worn by officers, accustomed men to their waistline and now our new fall suits with the funny little pinched-ln waists and flaring coat skirts are an Indirect outgrowth of the officers' belted fash ion. One of our American officers says that the Britisli stopped the war every day at 4:30 to have tea. and always puttees and Sain Brown belts were carefully removed for this moment of relaxation and refreshment. Who would have thought that our winter suits would still pay tribute to the glorious men who have added a new lustre to England's name? To women much is given, and because of the pleasing origin of the ripple coat with Its narrow and pinched waist I am sure it will be proudly and unbiquitously worn. "Domestic stories" have ousted cowboy film romances from juvenile favor according to a census of school children movie patrons In London. Tailored Frock for Street Wear Popularity of the One-Piece Frock Demands the Garment in Every Woman's Wardrobe. The tailored frock for street we»r Is the most important garment to be chosen during the early days of either spring or fall. For several seasons the two-piece suit has enjoyed a rather doubtful vogue, while the one-piece frock has gained In favor each succeeding season since It made Its initial appearance. The two-piece suit Is really an expensive garment, no matter what It costs when purchased, for the reason that "- Innumerable blouses mdst be purchased also, and during the past two seasons the possession of a two-piece suit has meant the purchase of several separate vests as weli. The one-piece frock only requires at the most fresh collar and cuffs to complete it, and very often not even these. In addition to these re<v oinmendatlons, the one-piece fr<*'k i» so easy to slip into and so generally becoming that no woman considers her wardrobe complete without at least one tailored street frock for every* season.
