O'Hara at Trieste He forwarded the
report there that D'Annunzio h'i left
Fiume on the Nullo and had effected a
landing on the Dalmatian coast line.
Importance is attached in peace con-
ference circles to DAnnunzio's move
ment because Sunday is election day in
Italy with Fiume the chief issue. 1t is
generally thought that he is seeking to
carry out spectacular operation TO
strengthen the Fiume party, which is
reported in Paris to have lost consider
able ground in Italy during the past
three weeks. The Italian navy was said
to be wavering perceptibly in its sup
port of D'Annunzio.

Paris, Nov 15.--The French foreign
office considers the reservations to the
German peace treaty in the American
senate as constituting a question OF ex-
treme delicacy, and the office is not dis
posed at present to make any official
statement on the subject.
Nevertheless, persons of Importance
in French diplomacy express the view
that the French government would be
disposed to accept reservations by the
American senate which would not re-
quire France and its allies to reopen
questions already settled by the pleni-
potentiaries.

Washington, Nov. 15.--After long
and acriminous wrangle today, repre-
sentatiyes of the coal operators and
miners, in conference here, agreed to
take up settlement Of wage and labor
conditions in the central competitive
field after they had failed to agree on
considering q national scale. as first
proposed.
Adjouring the general conference, Sec
retary Wilson then summoned the wage
scale committees Of the central com
petitive field to meet at 2:30 p. N. today
to negotiate a new wage agreement.
Miners for General Scale.
Operators from districts outside the
central competitive field will meet at
the same hour to determine whether the
agreement arrived at by the wage scale
committees of the central competitive
field will be accepted as q basis for the
contracts in the outlying districts.
Acceptance, without qualification. by
by the mine workers of Secretary of
Labor Wilson's proposal for negotiation
of a nation wide wage scale agreement
was announced at the conference, to-
day, by John J.. Lewis, acting president
of the United Mine Workers of America
Speaking on behalf of operators out
side the central competitive field. F. w
Lukens. president Of the Southwestern
Interstate Coal Operators association
proposed returning to the old policy
of allowing the basic scale to be nego-
tiated BY the operators and miners ia
the central competitive field.
Miners Rap Wilson, Too.
President Lewis. early in the hearing,
sharply denied charges of bad faith over
the coal strike and the negotiations, and
William Green, secretary treasurer of
the mine workers union. took exception
to Secretary Wilson's statement of Fri
day, that 60 per cent increase in coal
miners wages was impossible. Green
said that the federal government should
see that the miners got that much in
crease to allow them an American stand
ard of living
I'VE come in good faith in an honest
endeavor to reconcile difficulties" Presi-
dent Lewis said "and you, Mr.. Secretary
representing the government, propose n
plan which we accept, not because it is
the best plan. but because the public
has been told for weeks that it is the
plan the operators wanted"
Says Miners Broke Pact.
'The charge Of bad faith comes with
particularly poor grace from the mine
workers." Mr.. Lukens retorted. while
the country is tied up with a strike
which the government says involves a
violation of their agreements by the
mine workers. They have struck not
only in districts where there was a pos
sibe question concerning their agree
ment, but they have also struck in dis
tricts where there was no question but
that they had valid and binding agree
mcnts,'
II deny that statement" President

DELICATE SITUATION is CREATED
FOR ALLIES BY u. S. SENATE ADOPTING
RESERVATIONS ON LEAGUE OF NATIONS

London. Nov. 15.-The adoption by
the United States senate of the reserva-
ton to article ten of the league of ma
tions covenant is considered insufficient
to draw an official declaration from the
British government as to its attitude.
1t is pointed out that the reservation
has not been signed by President Wilson.
The position of Great Britain at the
moment is believed to be that she is
strongly inclined to support the pact she
already has signed. The general belief
expressed here is that the senate's res
ervation, If approved, would necessitate
q new treaty.

Upon Monroe Doctrine

Are Overwhelmed.

Washington, Nov. l5.-At last
clamping down the lid on its peace
treaty debate, the senate suhstittut-
ed action for discussion, today, with
a vigor that quickly advanced the
ratification fight into its final stages
then adjourned until Monday.
Working under cioture-adopted
by a vote of rs to l3-for the first
time In history, the senate adopted
in five hours 10 more reservations
written by the foreign relations CON-
mIttee and with only two committee
proposals remaining, set the parlia
mentary stage for a decision or
deadlock on the treaty early next
week.
The roll call over and cIoture
fact republican managers took COM
plete charge and swept everything
before them. Reservation after res
ervatIon went through Just as 1t
came from the committee until the
democrats apparently abandoned
hope of making notifications and
resigned themselves to passive re-
slstance. Majorities ranging from
II TO %, marked adoption of the
10 reservations.
DEMOCRATS GET TWO SHOTS.
Not the least significant of the
days developments, in the view of
senators looking forward to COM
plex parliamentary smart before final
action on the treaty is reached. was
a ruling by Vice President Marshall
preceding the cIoture vote. He held
that, should the administration SEN
ators vote down ratification with
reservations, as they intend to do,
they will have an opportunity later
to get action on compromise rati-
tication reservation.
To that decision, the republican
leaders took exception, serving no.
tice that when the issue developed
they would appeal to the senate
itself to settle the question. They
told their democratic colleagues
that If they voted against qualified
acceptance of the treaty, then the
treaty would be dead.
