By the Associated Press. BR August 14.—A crisis in Belgium's coul v has been pre- cipitated through the walkout yester- day of 2,000 miners of the 36,000 in the Mons Basin, the men refusing to accept a wag cut of 10 per cent. The operators fear they will be un- able to meet the competition from German coal of which 442,000 tons ware imported last month. The fall in pound sterling is also favornig the sale of British coal.

BRUEN. e that ‘Cal’ is comin’ home for a spell” is the news that is being flashed through the vast silences of the Green Mountains this week “All het up with Washington, T reckon,” is the cryp response of a neighborhood to his informant, and both pass along to the arduous tasks of winning livelihoods out of the bleak mountainsides. Nothing could happen in or around the township of Plymouth, Vt., that would create a public enthu- siasm. The people there like “Cal,” as they persist in calling him, but for Eenerations they have been training their souls in the ways of suppres- sion. The main thing is that they understand the President of the United States and that he has a brotherly appreciation of them. Back in the days when he was a student in the Blackwater Academy in Ludlow, Vt, Calvin Coolidge was one of a group of boys, with a grievance against a certain teacher, who placed a donkey in his room over the week end. This is said to have been the first effort ever made by the Presi- dent to compel the Democratic animal to obey his will and he and his com- panions were never punished because of the incident, they having duly ap- peared before the academy trustees and obtained the necessary white- ing. Two Still Living. Two of the trustees are still living in Ludlow and make their morning pilgrimages to the post office. They are Grand Army men and the secret service operatives, who attempt to prevent them from walking right up to the train next Saturday and saying “Howdy Cal” to the President as he alights are in for a spanking. The fact is that the whole countryside will register significant objections to any efforts made to get between them and the President of the United States, who grew up amongst them. They will contend that “Cal is at home and needs no such foolishness.” Schoolmates in Ludlow. There are several merchants in Ludlow who were schoolmates of the President at the academy and in the little schoolhouse at Plymouth. Two of the ablest lawyers in New Eng- land—one of whom served Vermont as its governor for two terms, and the other as its attorney general— will undoubtedly be at the station for a silent handelasp with their lifelong friend. Former Gov. William C. Stickney can be depended on to say nothing, and to waste no time for the presidential party. John G. Sargeant, former attorney general and counsel for many big corporations, will re- move his constant jimmy pipe from his mouth, make his big body com- fortable and tell “Call” the latest good story. There is a genuine love be- tween this smiling 280-pounder and the President, although their lives have touched very seldom during these later years. Former State Senator Henry Brown of Ludlow, who hails from Plymouth and went to the district school with President Coolidge, will be among the prominent greeters of the presi- dential party. He will be a hard man for the secret service men to hold back once he sees the friend of his boyhood and early youth detrain. Must Be Useful. Tt will be the first actual homecom- ing of the President since more than a year ago when one night he was awakened from his sleep to accept the office of President bec: of the sad death of his predecessor. The mournful journey of a month ago for the funeral of Calvin, jr, was at- tended with the elements of great sorrow and haste. During his stay of two weeks at this critical time in his career the folks of the countryside will expect “Cal” to become useful and adopt the working clothes of the dirt farmer. He will have no other neighbors with the exception of such accompany his party. Reporters will find themselves compelled to live either in Ludlow or Woodstock, both towns being thirteen miles from Ply- mouth. Another thing they will find is that the automobile liveries in either town know the most exclusive New York and Boston rates and ar- range their prices accordingly. The hotels know how to charge. There will be a chance of exploring a wonderful historic country offered to those who accompany the Presi- dent. Visiting him as Governor of Massachusetts and candidate for the vice presidency in 1920 this writer found that Calvin Coolidge’s greate: enthusiasm was for the home of his fathers. Tt is one subject he would always discuss and, from many davs of observation, it is safe to say that it is a subject well worthy of discus- sion. Chain of Lakes. As the automobile of the secker after the beauties of nature mounts the road from Ludlow to Plymouth he comes across a chain of lakes, with the Grean Mountains as a background, as beautiful as the much exploited Lakes of Killarney, which this writer has visited and has loved since early boyhood. Some of the wise men and women of this generation, who have come in a_knowledge of these lovel lakes, Amherst, etc., and their desira bility as summer resorts, have built themselves cottages in this paradise, “far from the medding crowd.” An The Unbreakable SPECIAL OFFER FOR =" Delivered in You Home for 45¢%1 &7 Balance 50c a_Month for Nine Months™® Have one of stand.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, HOME FOLKS EXPECT COOLIDGE TO BECOME ONE OF THEM AGAIN other point of interest to visitors to Plymouth is the Cave of the Seven Rooms, a marvelous natural cave only a few miles from the Coolidge home. 1t has never come to the attention of the public because it is far from the beaten track of travel and no rail- road close enough to make its ex- ploitation desirable. 'The rooms are as perfect in formation as if the hand of man had something to do with the handiwork and the walls are enriched with mineral formations of wondrous beauty.. Col. John C. Coolidge, the Presi- dent’s father, is an apt and well versed cicerone to every historic spot in the Green Mountains. He can point out the deserted settlement near Mount Moses, the highest peak in the Green Mountains, where the slaves who reached that country by way of the underground rallroad ‘were started on the road to economic in- dependence. Houses were built for them and their labor was sought, but they could not bear the climate and. in a short winter, many of them sick- ened and died. The rigor of the win- ter entered into the hearts of the sur- vivors and they deserted the homes and left the village tenantless. The cabins finally disintegrated and the foundation walls, covered with under- growth, are the only relics of the colony. Newton Turgeon, roommate of the President, and his particular chum at the Blackwater Academy, will not be in the Green Mountains this summer for their annual come-together. Newt, as Cal calls him, has sold the old fam. ily home and is devoting himself to the insurance business in his adopted city of Buffalo, Y. Newt Is a typical go-getter and, when his chum became Governor of Massachusetts and had passed over the police strike with credit to himself, he decided that Cal should speak at the annual dinner of the Vermont Society of Buffalo, of which he was president. He sent the governor a letter con- taining three single-spaced typewrit- ten pages, telling him a thousand dif- ferent reasons why he should accept the invitation. This is the letter he received in answer in the handwriting of the governor: “Dear Newt: “Won't go. speeches; people don't them. Your, etc. “CAL" The letter made New: 'madder than a wet hen” for the time being, but it read well at the meeting of the Vermonters and now Newt wouldn't part with it for “something pretty. Other letters, equally short, but in his own handwriting, from the Presi- dent are treasured by the neighbors | throughout the countryside. Some were written when his political ac- tivities were bounded by his adopted home, Northampton: some when he served in the State legislature and the State Senate; some from the office of Vice President of the United States and some from the President’s study | in the White House. They are mostly notes of sympathy or of congratula- | tion. Don't care like to make to hear B The real peacemakers are those men who never decide anything until they have consulted their wives.

What he actually did was to wound Willilam Ross, a patron who happened to enter the Mors establishment, and Mr. and Mrs. Schapp, whom he pur- sued into their shop when they re- fused to be lured into the Mors place. None of the three was wounded seriously. Crazed With Grief. In telling of this shooting affray, McCoy explained over and over again that he had been drinking, and that he was crazed with shock and grief and out of his head. Police for a time believed that Me- Coy had found Mors and killed him, but after a search of several hours his attorney reported to central po- lice station and announced his client was ready to be questioned. then revealed that Mors was on his way to his shop about the time Me- Coy entered it and, but for the fact that his automobile broke down would have reached his place of bus ness in the midst of the former pu gilist's shooting orgy. By the time the machine could be repaired, however, newsboys were shouting extras, whose headlines warned Mors that McCoy was amuck. He accordingly remained away until McCoy was safe in a cell at the city jail, charged with suspicion of mur- der, assault with a deadly weapon, with intent to kill, and robbery. Threatened Policeman. Another of McCoy’s intended victims was believed discovered when the desk sergeant at the Hollywood police sta- tion reported that at 3 a.m. yesterday— a few hours after Mrs. Mors’ death— McCoy appeared and asked to see trolman Raymond F. Puissegur. When told Puissegur was not at the station | McCoy said: “‘He will consider himself lucky when he reads the morning papers.” Puissegur is one of the officers who answered a call at the Mors Hollywood home August 4, when Mrs. Mors, ac- companied by McCoy, appeared as un- invited guests at a dinner party given by Mr. Mors and caused a disturbance. Mr. Mors requested McCoy's arrest, which Puissegur refused, saying, “If he FLAT TIRE?
