The result is a relusal by the men to take Dart in the proceedings of the Roval Commission on the coal trade, accompanied by threats of muca urre decisive action than that. The Commission, meanwhile, bis begun its work, and before its labours are ended it is likely to have carried through the most exhaustive enquiry yet embarked on into the position of Great Britian greatest export trade. The members of the commission, who are not personally familiar with the coal industry, being chosen largely because they have no direct interest in the trade, have been preparing themselves for their work by visiting a number of caolfields and going down the mines to examine the under: ground workings. The otticial statement regarding the extent of the enquiry shows it to be wide enough to satisfy everyone.
The commissioners are to examine how far the demand for British coal bas diminished, and why; wbat better use could be made of coal; whether wages and hours of working are what they should be; whether there should be closer co operation between masters and men in the management of the industry; and, tinally, whether the natio: alisation of the industry would improve the situation.

The British Army has of course been to practically its prewar strength, so that it was not numbers that gave the manoeuvres teir importance, but rather the demonstration they they were expected to prov de of new methods perfected during or after the war. On the whole there seems to have been lesz learnt from them than was anticipated, though there is general agreement as to the excellence of the air work. The aeroplanes flew low and did admirable service both inuo masking their opponents plans and to actual destruction of the enemy forces. On the other hand the evidences that were hoped TRY OUR NEW BEER for of the possibilities of mechancial transport do not appear to have come quite up to expectations, partly because the distances covered were not large enough to put the experiment to an exhaustive test.
