SUGGESTS JuRISTS

London, Sept. lS.--An inquiry by
American jurists into the allegations

the Weekly Spectator. in its current
issue. S,V,
"lndoubtedly American jurists
would command most genera! conf
dence." the Spectator says. I'VE
cannot ask the president or G7e
American government to appoint
such committee of inquiry. They
would naturally be afraid of annoy
ing the German government by so
doing and of impcriling that strict
neutrality which they desire to main
tain in the case of the German en-
pire. We do not see however, why
the French. British aud Belgian gov
ernments should not privately invite
three American iurists of high dis
tinction to undertake the work of
discovering whether the Germans
lave respected and are respecting the
agreement made at The Hague I?

OF civilized warfare which generally
are respected by belligerents and to

OPERATORS TO talk
b.. WITH WILSON
(Continued from page ~

Denver, Colo, Sept. lS.-The coal
operators of Colorado who will meet
here tomorrow will, it is understood.
accede in part to the proposal of a
three-year truce of President Will
son adopted this week by the United
Mine Workers of America at con-
vention held In Trinidad. There are
some objectionable features which
the operators will probably ask to be
modified or eliminated and the presi-
dent may be asked to meet with a
committee of mine owners or at least
empower a representative or commit
tee to discuss the matters with the
operators.
Late yesterday J. r. welborn,
president of the C. +. and l., made
an announce2ent that certain fea-
lures Of the plan met with the ap-
proval of the operators. but that the
proposal as 1t stands would not be
accepted. Mr.. Welborn issued the
following statement: l.......
THE coal operators will make in
dividual replies by letter to the presi.
dents proposal. Certain features of
the plan will be accepted. In addt-
tion. a conference with the president
has been asked by several of the op-
orators In order to discuss with him
certain practical difficulties in ap-
plying the proposed plan to local
conditions"
Mr.. Welborn declined to give any
further information regarding the
plans of the operators, or to stayc
what features of the presidents sug-
gestion were acceptable and which
ones were unacceptable to the mine
owners.

HOW the POLES LOST THEIR KINGDOM;
:. MAY REGAIN PRIVILEGES BY CzAR'S ORDERS

There are today approximately
Austrian armies. and 100000 Poles
under arms for Russia. who are op7
posing them. Military experts point
out the possibility that the czar was
aiming to ALLEVIATE the Polish soldiers
of Russia's enemies when he issued
|S,tAs.Feceht '3iDtiamation. promising
autonomy for the ancient kingdom OF
Poland.
Poland disappeared as an indie
pendent and integral state in 1772.
when the first partition of the king
dom was effected among Russia, Aus
tria and Prussia. There was a see
ond partition in 1893 and the third
and last partition occurred in 1895.
The division of the Polish kingdom
among the three powers. Russia,
Prussia and Austria. was rearranRed
by the congress of vienna in 1915.
In the Encouragement. the shares Of
Prussia and Austria We're reduced
and the Grand Duchy of Warsaw was
added to the Russian empire.
This Grand Duchy OF Warsaw. or
The very much truncated kingdom of
Poland. was absolutely Autonomous
and Independent of Russia. the only
bond Of union being personal. the

each state. Tho czar was .represented ed
by viccroy and council of state
A constitution was srantcd of a
fairly liberal character. There was
II parliment of two houses. a nomiE-
atcd senate and an elected chamber
The Polish language was the official
medium. The Catholic church was
given equality of treatment. Public
en- DlOymcnt was restricted TO Poles.
This pleasant arrangement contin-
ucd until 1881. when the Poles. al
lcging abuses by Russia. arose in re-
bclliOn. and were utterly crushed By

America
In the present war II Is cstimat cd
that l.000 Poles are fighting with
Germany. $1,000 with Austria and
100000 with Russia.
The cars proclamation may then
perhaps be taken as a pledge to re-
store the constitution of 1913 not
only to the Grand Duchy of Warsaw.
but the whole of old Poland rs ii
was before the first partition in
1772.
Russia could not fulfill this pledge
therefore. unless the allies are vic
torious in the great war. Parts of
the old kingdom are held by Germany
and Austria and they would never
consent to restore their Polish lands
unless Russia should be in position
to dictate terms of peace.

Republican Coup Displaces
Postohce Rider for Gull
lop Amendment.
DEFEAT NOW IS CERTAIN
Backed by Eastern and Northern Dem
ocrats, G. o. P. Will Knock Out
Spoils Rider on Roll Call Vote.
DEFEAT NOW Is CERTAIN
By JOSEPH p. AMIN.

In their anxiety to further wreck the
civil service law protecting postomce
employees, and gather unto themselves an
extravaEant portion OF political spoils'
the ''spoils" Democrats in the House
overreached themselves yesterday ana
permitted the Republicans to lead them
into a nicely conceived parliamentary
trap.
As a result, the Postofice Committee
rider on the railway mail pay bill, seek
ing to throw open to an alleged COM
petitiye examination all assistant post
masterships, was displaced by the Gull
Iop amendment, throwing the appoint
ment of all postoffice employees in all
postofices, open to the spoils hunter.
The CuIlop amendment was only included
in the bill by the House, sitting as Com
mittee of the Whole, through the aid Of
Republican votes. When the bill Is re-
ported from Committee Of the Whole, and
a roll call vote impossible in committee,
is asked on the Cullop amendment, these
same Republicans, REINFORCED by the
Northern and Eastern Democrats, will
knock the spoils rider out, thus defeat
ing the more conservative proposal OF
the committee at the same time.
Numerous Proposals Advanced
Discussion of civil service consumed
practically the entire afternoon yester-
day. Numerous proposals were ao-
vanced, all spoilsmen proposals being
more radical than the committee rider.
All were disproved until the Cullop
amendment was brought up. The pro-
gram called for a defeat Of this rider the
