The terrible Pennsylvai •stsike is still unsettled. More tlian 300,000 persons are affected, many of whom are forced to livi than nine cents a day. Pennsyl vania has permitted its two and half-year-old mine strike to reach this winter an almost unbelievable condition of warfare, suffering, pri vation, sickness and misery. This week Senator Hiram Johnson California, pleading in the Senate for an investigation, outlined cause and history of the strike. He repeated the miners’ charges, the operators’ defense and counter charges. He accused vehemently, but more important than the accu sation was the focussing of public attention upon immediate and im perative needs to which blame seems unimportant. When the white-haired Senator was through. Senator Reed, of Penn sylvania, arose and acknowledged that every word was true. The Senate prepared to start one of its most important inquiries into mining trouble in Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia. Last week, in one of the N most disastrous fires, five city blocks were completely wiped out in Fall River, Mass. The fire occurred a1 seven o’clock, p. m., and lasted well into the night, throwing 3,000 peo ple out of work and causing a dam age that has been estimated at twen ty million dollars.

A million Britons gazen reverently last week at the Ihree-and-a-half-mile long funeral procession, made up of members of Marshal Haig’s command: The Lan cers, the Queen’s Own Hussars, The Royal Horse Guards upon their chestnut horses. The King’s Own Scottish Borders, The Grenadiers and the Coldstream Guards. Be hind the bier walked England’s three princes. The coffin was con veyed to Westminster Abbey.

First Woman to Lecture At University Lord Asquith, Earl of Oxford and Asquith, Great Britain’s War Prem ier, died at his estate February 1.5. While at the time of liis death he was not universally popular many will never forget his proud declara tion in the face of Germany’s ap parently irresistible advance—“We shall never sheath sword which we ave not lightly drawn until Belgi- m recovers in full measure all, and lore than all she ha.s .sacrificed; un- il France is adequately secured against the menace of aggression; :1 the rights of the-'smaller na tionalities of Europe arc placed upon an unassailable foundation, and un til the military domination of Prus- ■? wholly and finally destroyed.” Cliapel Hill, C. (CP)—, in.'in delivered a regular University lecture here for the first time in the history of the University when Mrs. Elizabeth O’Neil Verner, noted S. C. artist, spok: Thursday night on “Tlie South in Relation to Art.” Mrs. Verner occupies a prominent place in the art world. She is one of the country’s most distinguished etchers, and is a member of the New Vork National Arts Club and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. In speaking of the South’s possi bilities for art, Mrs. Verner said that the University would m.ali ‘xcellent beginning point. She ioned the Carolina Playmakers and he Music Department as a foimda- ion on which to build. “We have the material in the South for an immortal art,” the cpeaker said,” and 1 challenge any .'.eetion of the country to produce anything like what the word ‘South’ embraces. It tells a story of glory, of suffering, prosperity, inheritance, and all those things that we have for a background.” The artist continued that the South had not been closely connected with art in the ]>ast and that the i'act was deplorable. There is art in the South, she said, but we must take it in order to make it ours; this means work, “We have merely thought of our Southern art long enough; we lived on imported art long enough, 1 personally think that it is better to grow weeds in one’s own garden than to import orchids.” This was the last l^niversity lec ure of the 'year, the ]>rogram hav iig included Will Durant, Bliss Cai lan, Dr. David A.
