GOVERNMENT WILL ISSUE
EMERGENCY REGULATIONS
WITH UNLIMITED POWERS
Military Steps May Be;
Taken To Control Coal!
Strike Situation Which
Threatens England !
Republican A. P. Leased Wire
LONDON, April 4 Sign tonight
point to the dispute between the coal
miners and the government drifting
toward the most serious industrial
crisis in recent years.
There are rumors that the govern
ment has decided on certain military
steps, which are likely still further to
inflame the miners, while further
emergency regulations will be Issued
: giving governmental departments al
. most unlimited powers to take pos
session of mines, lands, buildings,
works, gas, electric and water sup
piles, horses, food and forage and to
requisition transports, ciose pons,
control shipping and cargoes, fix
prices of coal and prohibit or regulate
sale and supply of motor spirit.
, Much may depend on the attitude
of the government as revealed by the
debate in the house. of commons to
morrow and Wednesday will be the
critical day, deciding whether other
- sections of the triple alliance, the rail
way men and transport workers, will
strike in support of the miners. Rail-1
way men strongly favor a strike.
Moderate opinion Is concentrating in
favor of the suggestion offered by
Alfred Bigland, coalition unionist,
that the so-called de-control bill
should be rescinded and the time limit
for control fixed for May 30, instead
of March 31, giving time for discuss
ion and arrangement of the wages,
and the education of the miners to
the real industrial position.
It la believed that the government
' will refuse to accept this suggestion
and that the premier will base his
position on the proposition that it is
impossible for the country because of
its finances to bear any further bur-
in the shape of a subsidy to the
"fctmners.
' The anti-governmental press ac
cuses. Premier Lloyd George of trying
to maneuver the labor party into a
false position, whereby he could ap
peal to the country against the labor
policy of "direct action ana ooisne
vism." " " -
The British government" is most
anxious to probe every suggestion to
see if a solution of the coal strike
might be found. Premier Lloyd George
told the house of commons in answer
to a question today. He declared he
was alive to the importance of giving
'very assistance possible.
'TW Mr. Lloyd George presided at a
cabinet committee meeting today held
to discuss the situation.
' The balance of opinion tonight is
that the triple alliance will refrain
from the declaration of a general
strike until it is certain attempts at
a peaceful settlement are hopeless.
iC is announced that the admiralty
has cancelled all leave.

VETO FCOLLEGE
BILL STARTS MOVE
TO DIVIDE TEXAS
Republican A. P. Leased Wire!
AUSTIN, Texas, April 4. A pledge
In the Democratic party platform
was pointed to by Governor P. M.
Neff, in a statement today defending
his action in vetoing the West Texas
Agricultural and Mechanical college
bill, the chief measure causing agita
tion by citizens of wt Texas or a
movement to divide Texas into two
states.
I vetoed the bill because the
Democratic party said that now was
not the time to establish this college
and in doing so, I was not only
carrying out the party platform but
was doing for the state in a bus
inesslike way what the people are
doing in their own business affairs
establishing no new business enter
prises," he said.
Referring to the appropriation of
$50,000 headed in the measure there
will be no state institutions estab
lished unless they look toward con
servation of human life so long as
money matters are as tight as they
now are and available funds are so
badly needed to maintain established
institutions. . .
Regarding the resolutions adopted
Saturday by citizens of west Texas
at Sweetwater, demanding that the
next special session of the legisla
ture act toward giving them repre
sentation according to population,
that the proper, number of educa
tional institutions be established; and
that they be relieved of "unjust tax
ation as compared to other sections
of the state," the governor said their
right to organize a new state "does
not change my purpose as governor."
He declared that the movement
would receive no support from con
servative and sober thinking people
of even west Texas beyond the 'effer
vescent oratory of the hour."
He admitted, however, that Repre
sentative Citwod was correct in his
charges that west Texas is not fairly
represented and that the state should
be re-districted. He deplored the
fact that the legislature did not take
the proper action toward this end
but promised that he would re-submit
the question to the special ses
sion this summer.

Administration Intends
To Terminate War With
. Germany by Resolution
WASHINGTON, April 4. The Harding administration intends to
terminate the war between the United States and Germany by con
gressional resolution, M. Viviani, French envoy extraordinary, is under
stood to have been informed tonight at a dinner at the home of Senator
McCormick of Illinois.
The former premier was also informed, it was said, by senators
present, that the program of the administration does not contemplate
entrance of the United States Into the league of nations.
Those at the dinner stated M. Viviani had been told frankly that
it was useless to discuss the possibility of the United States member
ship in the league of nations. Most Republican members of the com
mittee and Colonel Harvey, prospective ambassador at the court of St.
James, were among those present.
The French envoy, who was accompanied by Ambassador Jusserand,
was said to have been informed that sentiment of Republican leaders
was virtually unanimous for adoption of the Knox separate peace resolu
tion, subject only to possible amendment from its original form, by the
special session of congress. M. Viviani was described as appearing
"reconciled" to the situation.
At the same time the senators made it clear that the United States
would take no action that would be in any way considered as "helpful"
to Germany, especially in the matter of reparations and fulfilling other
obligations involved in the peace settlement.

ASK
IMMEDIATE
Republican A. P. Leased Wire
WASHINGTON, April 4 Although
the resolution declaring a separate
peace with Germany is to be reintro
duced at the special session of con
gress, plans of republican leaders as
they svape up after many confer
ences include no provision for hurry
ing me measure to a roll call.
In some quarters close to the ad
ministration it was said tonight the
peace declaration, vetoed bv Presi
dent Wilson might rest on the calen
dar of deferred business 90 days or
more while President Harding tries
out nis preliminary ideas for estab
lishment of an association of nations.
How far the president mav have
concurred in such an agreement was
not revealed, but in some quarters, it
was pointed out that with the reso
lution hanging fire in congress, the
administration might be able to exert
an enlarged influence in securing ac
ceptance of its peace plans by other
nations. Technically this government
still would be at war with Germany,
exercising full privileges of a bellig
erent in the arrangement of a final
peace, and still actually associated
with ihe allies.
In such circumstances, it was sug-1
gested, the possibility of a separate
peace might be used diplomatically
along with the foreign loan situation
as a leverage to secure acceptance
of Mr. Harding's plans for his peace
association.
It is known that the subject of a
peace declaration has occupied In
terest of administration officials re
cently, and that several alternate
plans have been urged on the presi
dent. Saturday he conferred with
Senator Knox, republican, author of
the original separate peace measure.
and today he talked with Senator
Lodge, republican senate leader, nd
Senators Watson of Indiana and
Brandegee of Connecticut.
Today the British ambassador. Sir
Auckland Geddes, also called at the
white house, although it was said the
visit was one of courtesy.
- The question of declaring peace by
resolution has figured in gossip
among officials regarding the visit
of Rene Viviani of France, but it was
not indicated touight what part the
advice of the allied governments
might have played in influencing a
decision. Those associated with M.
Viviani have denied ' hat the real
purpose of his pilgrimage TVis to
plead that there be no separate peace
but he is known to be hopeful that
the peace settlement may provide for
a co-operative agreement with the
allies. It is taken for granted that
he has urged these views upon Amer
ican oraclals.

existing organizations for the care of

Texas Court Sets
New Precedent On
Desertion Charge
Republican A. P. Leased Wire
SAN ANTONIO. Tex., April 4.
Tom and Joe Caples, sons of a
wealtiiy Iouisiana planter, who have
been held by military authorities
since December on charges of draft
desertion, were turned over by fed
eral to civil authorities today on a
writ of habeas corpus, Issued by Fed
eral Judge West.
Judge West's decision is regarded
as of high importance because if up
held bv hieher courts, it may become
the basis for transfer of thousands
of alleged draft deserters from mil
itary to civil Jurisdiction. The chief
ground for the writ cited by Judge
West was that notices of their being
drafted had not actually been deliv
ered to the Capl brothers, and that
they were not legally inducted into
the military service without sucn. de
livery. o

Germany Say She Is Now
Ready To Meet Feasible
Proposals For Solution
Of European Problems
WASHINGTON, .April 4. Para
phrases of the Informal exchanges
between the German and American
governments on reparations, in which
the United States holds Germany
"morally bound to make reparations
so far as may be possible" were made
public today.
Describing tho German communi
cation as an "unequivocal expression"
of the recognition of that obligation,
the American .reply expresses the
hope that renewed negotiations which
Germany says it plans to initiate
"may lead to a prompt settlement
which will satisfy the Just elamis
ofl the allies and permit Germany
hopefully to renew its productive
activities."
The German communication sug
gests that the only solution of the
reparations problems is in an inter
national loan for which the allied and
associated powers would waive the
general mortgage on German assets
created by the treaty of Versailles.
. trerman says it would not be un
willing to assume the obligation cf
the interest and the amortization of
the foreign debts of the allied and
associated powers, within her ca
pacity." Germany says she stands ready to
meet every proposal which appear
feasible "for the solution of the eco
nomic and financial problems of
Europe."
No Reference to Consolidation
The American reply makes no ref
erence either to the proposed consoli
dation of allied debts as a Germaa
obligation or the suggestion for the
determination by unbiased experts of
the ability of Germany to pay".
Another consideration on repara
tions presented by Germany is -habllitatlon
of devastated regions.
The German government says it
stands ready to offer to France" gov I
offices and resources. It asserts th:t
for the Immediate rehabilitation it
has "repeatedly proffered- labor, .
technical advice and material assis
tance," but that these offers have not
been accepted.
Germany declares there exists in
France only a limited degree of con
cern for the rehabilitation of the dev
astated regions, because advance in
demnities have been given former oc
cupants who have settled in other
parts of France, and the work of
clearing the war areas "has been un
dertaken by influential groups of
promoters who are making no effort
to expedite their contracts.'
The German communication is In
the form' of a memorandum of Dr.
Walter Simons, minister for foreign
affairs, dated March 23. The Ameri
can reply is officially termed a "state
ment," sent to Commissioner Dresul
for communication to Dr. Simon.
Hughes' Statesment
It is dated March 29 and follows:
"The American government is
pleased to note in the informal
memo of Dr. Simons the unequiv
ocal expression of the part of
the German government of its
desire to afford reparation up to
the limit of German ability to
pay. This government stands
with the governments ef the al
lies in holding Germany respon
sible for the war and therefore
morally bound to make repara
tions, so far as may be possible.
'"The recognition of this obli
gation, implied in the memo of
Dr. Simons, seems to the govern
ment of the United States the
only sound basis on which can
be built a firm and just peace
under which the various nations
