AN INJUNCTION.

LONDON, November 1. The coal strike commencing at midnight in America, involving 400,000 Union miners and possibly 200,000 non-Unionists, is focussing attention on the grave and far-reaching conséquences involved to Europa This strug gle is noteworthy.

A bulge affixed under the waterline protects against submerged explosion. The plan does not indicate the protection for decks, tops, and barbettes, but it is certain to be formidable after the lessons of Jutland. Her engine power far exceeds that of any previous British warship. Her Brown-Curtis turbines will develop five times the power, alloted to earlier dreadnoughts, giving a speed of 31 knots. The Times naval correspondent remarks that it is possible if Lord Fisher, Sir Percy Scott, and their school of thinker's are right, this will soon be the last of the great warships of her kind.

"WE HAVE ALL SINNED."

UTTERANCE BY BETHMANN HOLLWEG.

BERLIN, November 1

Herr Bethmann Hollweg giving evidence before a commission of the National Assembly enquiring as to possibilities of peace during the war, said "after our indescribable collapse, which was only possible because we've all sinned, I don't throw blame on others but must state the fact that the majority of the German people and its lawful representatives desired predominance of their military leaders." He emphasised that it was the deep-rooted belief of the Reichstag and of the overwhelming majority of the nation as well as of the supreme army command and of Admiral Tirpitz in 1917 that submarinism would end the war soon.
