WASHINGTON'S
DOG CEMETERY
HAS 50 BODIES
Washington D. C. Not. 27.
T'nlqne is the Aspen Hill cemetery
located just beyond the confines of
"Washington where the Hampered
canine pet of the capital's artetoe-
racy are finally laid to rest. Once
this burial pTonpd for fashionable
dogs was established last June 69
canines have been laid to rest by
their masters.
Lt It be understood that this ceme-
tery Is no place for common doers of
the rag -tag: and bob-tall variety. Of
course such dogs are permitted to
5 tan 5 outside the fence and look In
but that's all.
It is a regular cemetery. Two
keepers hare pharge of the grounds
and their cottage is located at the
entrance rate. It Is their work to
keep up the gra en. weed them and
occasionally decorate them with
flowers.
A walk through the irronnds shows
ven mo'inds in rows with marble
headstones. On some graves plants

floral offerings have been placcdi by
loung hands. On one headstone
reads the following1 Inscription:

On the death bf the pet dog the

automobile is dispatched to the home
of the deceased carrying- a coffin. A
rough box is osed. If there are no
mourners the dog Is brought out for
a quiet burial and placed in a grave

furnished as a means for identifier

Such a sight as this la not uncom-

i'f automobiles is seen off in the dts-

solemnly toward the cemetery. A
hearse auto leads. As it passes

S'owl y and solemnly the procession
winds its way up the steep narrow
roads between rows of graves. Then

the mourners file out and take their
piaces at the grave. It Is a weeping !
and sorrowful party that surrounds j

'Treasury Gets Surplus.
Not all of the enormous price ob
tained abroad for coal goes to the
owners or miners. The foreign par-
chaser must pay the extra wage of
the miners and the strictly controled
profits of the owners but most of
the swag goes Into the treasury
help pay for the war. It Is taken
by the government under the
profits act.
"If France and Italy cannot pay us
their debt" remarked a government
official to me "this is the only way
we can get out of them what they
owe" The treasury is getting It oat
of them at the rate of something like
sj.vo.euv.wv a year.
Most ef the bitterest controversy- in
the coal strike centered about the
question of output. It is Claimed by
tne government ana oy tne mine own-
ers and by the uoner dafM srener-
ally. that the wages of miners have
gone up so maeb during and since the
war tnat tney will not work fan
time that the output has thus fallen
off and that the whole country suf-
fers through the laziness of the over
paid workers.
Americans can understand the argu-
ment better If a few .figures are gives
showing the comparative output and
wages here and In the United States.
In England in 1S8S the cost of
wages of mining a ton of eoal was
Jl.ro. In America $1.52. This year the
cost per ton here at the present rate
oi excaange la 54.30. in America
Those figures should be considered
In conjunction with the annual out-
put of the average miser in the two
countries. In 181C the American miner
produced 4 OS toss the English lit
tons which means that the relative
wage paid to American 2nd Baelteh-
men 34 years ago for the work done
was approximately the same. But this
year the American miser Is bringing
up COO tons and the BsgBea miner
only 2vo. in other words the Amen
can is getting loss money; even for
tnree times as mucn work wan the
miner is Wales if these figures are
correct. I have obtained all of them
from the board of trade. They are
probably right for England. X have
no means of checking- those given for
the united states.

showing decreased output tnat
government refused to give the men
the additional two shillings they
wanted until the strike situation had
become so desirous that Meyd George
was forced to back down.
There are a million coal miners in
this country. ' With their families
they amount to between four and five
million neonle. about one-tenth of the
entire nation. Their case as I have
obtained It Is talks with their lead-
ers. In that they are not responsible
for the decline Is output and that
their standard of living is lower than
that which prevailed in 114. The in-
crease in wages they have obtained
do not. they claim make up for the
rise in prices and the average ot the
miners In Wales is lower than the
recogaized minimum earned by street
sweepers and dustmen In London.
The misers fiercely object to fig-
ures put out by the government coor-
uiii t hir work with that of Ameri
cas miners. They declare that con63v
tions are altogether awerent ana max
It is not they but the mine owners
who are responsible for the falling;

sons why the output la less given by
those leaders who contend that the
men are doing aa much work as they
ever did.
Fresh Capital Timid.
Owing to the government control
of the mines and prices and restric-
tion of profits the mine owners are
said to have so Iseestive to put
fresh capital Into development work.

Another factor making It difficult
to mine as much coal as formerly is
the lack of pit props the deteriora-

The essentials of the argstneat so
far as it Is an economic Quarrel have
been presented and are veery simple.
The position In the coal industry ie
regarded by opponents of government
ownership as a striking object lesson
in the evils of too ranch government
interference. By setting the price and
control ing profits the government it
is claimed has prevented new capital
from being pat Into the mines. This
in tarn has restricted output so the
only way the industry can be con-
tinned on a paying basis is by st'll
further bleeding the unfortunate con-
sumers in France and Italy. The day 1
may come when these conn tries will
be unable to pay even though their
industries appear doomed without
English coal.
But back of economic Issues In the
coal conflict are Important political
ones. South Wales Is a center of Bol-
shevik activity In this country and a
very large proportion if not a ma-
jority of the 600006 miners In this
area are extremists whose aim is to
seise the mines for themselves and
hold the nation to ransom. There is
