It was important in the interests of both the Turks and Armenians to lay down a frontier accepted by all parties for restoring to Armenia districts of which she was recently deprived and providing her with a secure national existence. M. Berthelot reaffirmed that the intention of the French when retiring from military occupation of Cilicia was to safeguard Armenians.

The Germans will resist the 12 per cent. duty exports but may submit to a scheme whereby the Allies will have an interest in German industry.

ANOTHER COAL CRISIS.
London, Feb. 27. The danger of a coal crisis appears to have increased. The coalowners have decided to give the miners a fortnight's notice immediately after March 31st, when the industry will be de-controlled, and the loss, estimated at £2,000,000 weekly, owing to trade slump and decline in coal exports which the Government are now making good, will fall upon the coal industry. It is stated the owners are of opinion that a 20 to 25 per cent, reduction in wages is necessary in order to put the industry on a sound economic footing and urge that State control should be continued, at least until an agreement has been reached between the owners and miners,
