Tlie Ilrltlsh' rovcrnment's intention tn 'nnnenl for voliintrera for tlie Irnnsi.nrl and other essentlnl'se'rvlee. In vlnu- nt the prospective "Triple Alllnnco" strike, was announced in the House of Com mons late today tby Mr. Lloyd George. ' 'Royal Proclamation, A rojal proclamation would call up lie army and navy reserves, ho added. Tho government nlso, Intends to enroll special constables and. form a special emergency forcQ for n period of ninety unjs to protect the police in the execu tion of duty. After recounting the day's events, from nhich he drew the conclusion that the Mlmrs Federation Is determined to allow the mines to go to destruction in Ihr belief that by such action It' will be able to Intimidate the nation Into sur render, Mr. LIo.mI Oeorge declared It was the duty of the government, ns the trustees of tho nntlon, to prevent this catastrophe. Ho then. announced1 the measures to be taken and read the king's emergency pioclami.tion. J. Austen Chamberlain, the govern ment leader In the House, moved that the king's message, be tnken under con sideration Monday. Amid cries of "To morrow" the motion wns" agreed to, and the House adjourned. Last night's decision by tho prime minister to imite the miners and owners to a conference this morniug, ut which the first subject for discussion would be the resumption of pumping to clear the mlncft of water, led the general public to believe a settlement was in sight and that the impending strike, promising to bo the greatest In the history ot the country, would be averted. 1101(1 Sides Refuse, to Rudgo The miners, however, were adttmaut in their stand. They insisted thero should bo no restriction on the conference An exchange of letters between them nnd Mr. Llod George fulled to chango their minds. The government was just as firm In Its view thnt the threatened destruc tion ot the mines by flooding should be first considered. Thus early this afternoon It came to he known that a deadlock had been reached and that apparently nothing short of a backdown by tlie government could avert tho industrial upheaval.

She clings to the treaty of Versailles. It Is, one Paris paper pathetically remarks, all France got out of the war. It is impossible to say here how much Mr. Hughes wishes to reopen. It Is probable that ho docs not know himself how much he wants to reopen. All he knows is that in his judgment the peace ot Paris is still in procc.su of negotla' tlon, the pacification of the world has. not been effected.
