Lack of Gl Made in Germany for Safety Lamps The English mines are now lacking in the high resistance glass wit.i which safely lamps are protected. Formerly these were imported from Germany and Austria, where me flourishing glass industry was auie to furnish a supply of the first qual ity. Of course this importation is now impossible, and there in an ac tive search in Great Britain for the means of supplying its place within that country itself. It seems that up to the present time only one English concern has succeeded in turning out glass that can stand the severe test imposed by the government. So it is possible that tlip stock or foreign glass that will satisfy the demand may be ex h.,nail h,rrp a sufficient ouantity can be made in the 1'nited King dom. The authorities are m an em barrassing situation: either they must relax the severity of their tests, despite the fad that the strength of the glass is an important factor in the safety of the miners; or part of the colleries must shut down. 4f ..,.. run fr ihD timp heinar. the former course has been adopted, and i - i . the home secretary nas mane a oc cision authorizing the provisional use.

Weather Conditions Were Favorable to Attack by "Enemy'' Ships ASSOCIATED press dispatch WASHINGTON, May L'fi The su periority of the "enemy" in units representing a fleet of heavily armed battle cruisers, coupled with weather conditions favorable to an attack, brought about the failure of Admiral Fletcher's defense of the Atlantic seahoard in the- "naval war game which closed yesterday, with Rear Admiral Beatty's invaders in a posi tion to establish a base at Chesa peake Bay. The .story of the game as told in reports to the Navy de partment revealed that Beatty. with theoretically stronger forces, engaged the main body of the defending fleet on Thursday and destroyed about half of Fletcher's scouts while easily eluding the supporting dreadnaughts. Then when Fletcher drew off to guard against the movement against New Kngland or New York, the "enemy" swept southward and pre pared for establishing a base of op erations by landing an expedition from his transports, and at the same time faced northward with a sufficient force to deal with any squadron the defenders might send against him. Fletcher's defensive campaign was described as a good one, but he was handicapped not only by the weather and lack of speedy scouts with long range guns, but by the inability to have his submarines on the scene when tjie final test agiiinst the en emy came. 6LENDALE CHILD IS DROWNED IN CANAL (Special to The Itepuhlican) .
