Pleasant as the air of evening,
When it floats among the trees.
Peaceful be thy silent sIumbers,
Peaceful in the grave so ow,
Thou no more will join our number
Thou no more our songs shall know.
Loving brother thou hast left us,
And the loss we deeply feel,
But tbs God that hast bereft US,

Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the days of life is spent,
Then in heaven with Joy to greet thee
Where no farewell tears are shed.

increase of 5 cents an hour with
the understanding that II the situa-
tion warranted II a further dn-
crease would be granted by Judge
Evans OF the United States district

STRIKE PROTEST
ON MINERS ENDS;
RETURN TO WORK

Springfield, Ill. Aug. 21.-The
last of the miners in Illinois who
have been in a protest strike
against state miners officials, went
back to work today.
A halt was called in the strike,
by the convention of reactionaries,
still in iession here, who said agi-
cation against "autocratic" meth
ods of present miners officials had
accomplished the desired results.
Formal charges are to be lodged
against the officials at the regular
Peoria convention IN November by
vote Of the insurgent concention.
Frank Harrington, president of
the state miners organization, said
today at no time were there more
than $4,000 miners idle because of
the strike, while strike leaders
claimed 10000 responded to the
call.
when the insurgents discovered
that practically every man had
gone back to work last Monday,
the 'Tump' convention here decid-
ed to call off the strike" Earring
ton said this morning.
Today's convention session be-
gan with a discussion revolving
about the proposed new wage scale.

10 Die; is HURT
IN TRAIN WRECK
Head-0n Collision of Freight and
Passenger Train Could
Have Been Avoided.

Travers City, Mich, Aug. 21.-
Ten persons were killed and 1G in
jured in a head-on collision of two
trains on the Pere Marquette at
Grawn, Mich, late yesterday.
Identified dead are Fletcher Gage,
passenger train engineer, Grand
Rapids; Frank W. Cushman, mail
clerk, Petoskey; Earl Beeman, fire.
man, Reed City, and Carl Amy, en-
gineer, Grand Rapids.
Head Brakeman Davis and Pas
senger Fireman Mcclellan. Grand
Rapids, may be the victims whose
bodies are not yet recovered to-
night. The bodies of all except
Gage are mutiIated and scalded al
most beyond recognition.
The injured include:
B. B. Heeniskerk of the Neither
lands legation, Washington, d. c.;
cut over left eye.
Clarence Spaulding. Sparta; cut
about face, leg injured
Meyer Robinson, Trenton; bruis-
ed and cIi
Mrs. w. H. Harris, Sparta; minor
injuries.
Amanda Hanson, 1910 Chaplain
avenue, Chicago; bruised about the
body.
None of the passengers was Sc
riously injured.
Coroner Starts Inquiry.
A coroner's investigation to de-
termine the cause of the wreck has
been started.
The accident, it was declared,
could have been avoided. The daily
passenger left Traverse City. south
bound, on time. The freiS$t was
an extra, and should have side
tracked at Beitner, to let the pas
senger through. For some reason,
the freight ran past the switch, and
at a point Just a mile beyond, the
wreck occurred.
The engines leaped half over each
other, the freight engine half tel
the passenger baggage
car, which was of steel. This prob
ably prevented a heavier passenger
death list, as the train was loaded.

Helffertch, the former vice chan

(Berlin dispatches early in July
reported that DR.. Helfferich blamed

NOW IN PROCESS
OF COMPROMISE
Despite Appearances to
Contrary Treaty is On
Way to Approval.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Copyright, 1919, The Argus.)


Washington, ID. c., Aug. 21.-
Anybody who expected the Repub-
lican senators who have been op-
posing President Wilson's ideas on
the League of Nations to be over
come at once by the spell OF presi-
Dental persuasion was doomed to
disappointment Anybody who
thought the senators would emerge
from the White house conference
and issue statements saying that
they had been all wrong in their
speeches of the last few weeks and
that Mr.. Wilson was right doesn't
understand senatorial psychology
or the reverence with which the
congressional mind holds consist
ency and inflexibility.
But while senators OF the for
eign relations committee were 60
ing around the capitol today say
ing they hadn't gotten a bit OF in
formation whilst other senators
were wading through IL TO Is coll
umns of reading matter on the
presidential quiz of the day before,
and whilst sundry statements were
being issued, not a vote had been
changed and not an opinion pre-
viously held had been shattered;
nevertheless, one who watches
senatorial maneuvers from year to
year took with a grain of salt all
their utterances and could not but
conclude that President Wilson's
offer of a compromise would event
ually be accepted.
Shows Difference Of Opinion.
The debate brought out just one
thing-that lawyers can't agree on
what the treaty means and that
language doesn't mean the same to
two sets of minds, when one set is
Republican and the other is Dem
ocratic. Congress every day makes
laws and puts language into them
which produces lawsuits galore for
to come. Mr.. Wilson
admits that there may be different
interpretations today of Americas
future obligations under the pro-
posed treaty. But he says to the
senate, Adopt a separate resolu-
ton embodying your understand
ings-" To the suggestion that Mr..
Wilson's verbal assurances today
and his private records and CON
with the other delegates
at Paris would not be binding upon
future ministries and parliaments,
and without an explicit record
thereof a dispute may easily arise
as to what was said, the president
offers a solution.
WOuld be Basis of Future Policy.
He says the joint resolution
adopted TO accompany the peace
treaty but not as part of the act
Of ratification would be preserved
for years to come and would al
ways be a basis for future policy

SEVERAL ARE
HURT;FRENCH
AID YANKEES
Attacked by Hun Seamen
and Civilians, U. S.
Men Make Charge.

Copenhagen, Aug. 21.-COI-
EsiOns between German and
American sailors on Tuesday,
at NeufarWasser, resulted in
the WOunding of several civil
fans and other German seamen,
according to dispatches receiT-
ed here today. NeufarWaSSer
y is a sea port four miles north
0f Danzig.
The disorders grew out of a quar-
rel in a dance hall Monday night
according to these dispatches.
Americans involved in the disturb
ance, which was concluded in the
streets after the sailors left the
dance hall, returned to their ship,
the destroyer Hale.
Attached, Yanks Charge Crowds.
On Tuesday seamen on leave
from the Germen cruiser Frank
fort, came to blows with American
sailors and 1t is said, civilians also
attacked the Americans. The Amer
leans, supported by French seamen
from the destroyer Claymore,
charged the crowds. Shots are
said to have been fired from the
Claymore, wounding four Germans
slightly.
Return to Ships.
Frontier guards dispersed the
crowds and the Americans and the
French returned to their ships.

allies, was understood, so far
as special provision was not
made in the treaty itself for
its disposition, as constituting
the principal allied and asso-
ciated powers, the authority by
which such disposition should
ultimately be determined. 1t
conveys no title to those pow
ers, but merely entrusts the
disposition of the territory in
question to their decision.
12.-Germany's remuneration
in favor of the principal allied
and associated powers Of her
rights and titles to her over
seas possession is meant sim
ilarly to operate as vesting in
those powers a trusteeship
with respect of their final dis
position and government.
{. S. Party to Agreement.
13.-There has been a pro-
visional agreement as to the
disposition of these overseas
possessions, whose confirma-
tion and execution is depend
ent upon the approval of the
League Of Nations, and the
United States is a party to that
provisional agreement.
14.-The only agreement be-
tween France and Great Brit
ain with regard to African
territory o1 which l am cog
infant concerns the redisposi-
tion Of rights already possess
ed by those countries on that
continent. The provisional
agreement referred to in the
preceding paragraph covers all
the German overseas posses
sions in Africa as well as else
where.
Explains Commissions.
15.-No mention was made
in connection with the settle
ment of the Saar basin Of the
service of an American mem
Der of the commission of five
to be set up there.
16.-It was deemed wise that
the United States should be
represented by one member of
the commission for settling the
new frontier lines of Belgium
and Germany because of the
universal opinion that Ameri-
cas- representative would edd
to the commission a useful ele-
ment of entirely diSintereSted
judgment.
Choice Left to League.
1.-THE choice of the COM
mission for the Saar basin was
left to the council of the League
of Nations, because the Saar
basin is for Is years to be di-
rectly under the care and di-
rection of the League of Ma
tions.
1S.-Article SO in effect pro-
vides that five of the members
of the commission of seven to
fix the boundaries between PO-
land and Czecho-Sloyakia
should be nominated by certain
countries because the five prin-
cipal allied and associated
powers, and the nomination of
five representatives by those
powers necessarily means the
nomination of one representa-
tive by each of those powers.
Pole Body Not Named.
19.-No such commission has
yet been appointed. (The COM
mission referred to is that for
the fixing of the Polish boun-
daries.)
Cot was deemed wise that
the United States should have
a representative on the COM
mission set up to exercise au-
thority over the plebescite of
upper Silesia, for the same rea-
son that l have given with
to the commission for
settling the frontier line of Bel
gium and Germany.
Sincerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON.
