MAJ. HAMILTON TO TALK
ON LAND OF MYSTERY
Major Jack Hamilton will talk to
night at the old Northland Club, over
the Bank of Alaska, and will show
stereopticon pictures from photo
graphs taken by himself of Tibet, the
“land of mystery.”
The photographs were obtained un
der the greatest difficulty, as the
Tibetans imagined that the camera
contained evil spirits. The Tibetans
are very cruel. Men are cut to pieces
' slowly. Women suspected of miscon
duct have their noses and lips slit
and are afterward flogged to death.
There is in Tibet a plant which flies.
It resembles a dog in shape, and its
color is like tortoiseshell. When wild
beasts of the jungles see it flying they
are terrified.
FUEL PRODUCTION OF
EUROPEAN NATIONS HAS
BEEN MUCH CURTAILED
WASHINGTON, July 3.—Dr. J .B.
Umbleby, famous as the international
expert of the United States geological
survey, has returned from Europe
where he was called to advise the
peace commissioner upon the mineral
resources of Germany and the Ger
man colonies. To a representative of
the American Mining Congress Dr.
inmi'miiiiiiiMimuiiiiimiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiimiimfiiiiimiiimiiiimimuimmiiMimMmuiM'i1 II
Umbleby related startling evidences
of the grave danger to Europe from
coal famine.
In England, although public discus
sion is not allowed, strikes have so
reduced production in many coal dis
tricts that the output is negligible.
Many of the high cost producing prop
erties are closed down because of
post war conditions and labor difficul
ties. The great coal fields of West
phalia which have always supplied
central Europe have been closed down
by the strike. In Poland the Silisian
production is almost nil owing to the
confusion and disorganization of all
industries incident to the Polish
C’zecho-Slovic controversies. The de
vastation caused by the Germans in
the mines of northern France have
reduced fuel production in France to
a minimum and there will be shortage
for industrial and domestic purposes.
In the sections where Bolshevism has
possession—industry is stagnant and
indications are that not only will in
dustries and transportation suffer—
but great misery and exhorbitant
prices will prevail all over Europe
through the disorganization which
prevents the necesary accumulation
of fuel in advance of heavy winter
demands.
