The boys look well. To an Oregon ian who saw them when they were mustered in at Camp Withycouibe they look a little older. They looked mighty trim and fine when they marched Into Camp Dix, and many who had seen the troops come and go said they never saw any finer troop In their lives than Colonel John L May's men.

It la no exagger ation to say that the ensuing week will be the most critical Great Britain has faced since the dark days ot March, 1918, when Halg appealed tc his troops to stand firm against the onrush of the German hordes. The whole Industrial fabric of Brit aln. as well as the molding ot her economical and social future hang up on the week's great series of confer ences between labor and th govern mnt, and between labor and the em ployers. A nation-wide strike of the coal mln ers has boon virtually noted, though the scattering returns are not yet it. The strike is scheduled to begin March 15. It It is not stayed by the miners' executives themselves, it will doubtless precipitate strikes In the other two organizations of the "Triple Alliance" the railway men's and transport workers' unions. Such an event, however, would sig nalize paraylsis of the nation. In a word, the whole complex problem of industrial unrest Is coming to a head this week, and before Saturday, Brit ain will know whether Us carefully prepared plans for the resumption of industry and the spread of British trade are wrecked or saved.
