Of Germans in Neutral Zone
About a Mile From CobIenz

Coblenz, Sept. 7.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press. .)-Private Reass Mad

and killed Saturday by German
soldiers in the neutral zone about a
mile from the boundary of the Cob
lenz bridgehead.
Madsen and Private Bert Bal
singer of the Eighth infantry, who
had been on outpost duty, were
hunting when they encountered a
German patrol of IS soldiers. Ac-
cording to Balsinger, the Germans
began firing without asking all ex-
planation as to why the two Ameri-
cans were in the neutral zone.
Balsinger told the American au-
thorities that when he and Madsen
encountered the Germans he was
several yards ahead of Madsen. Bal
singer said he dropped his rifle as
soon as he saw the Germans. who
second afterward began to shoot at
Madsen. The Germans contend that
Madsen fired at them. Balsinger
declared that the Germans fired first
and that if Madsen had fired he did
not see him shoot or hear the shot.
Balsinger was taken prisoner by
the Germans and later turned over
to the American provost marshal,
Maj. George Cockreil, and brought
to ~Ceblenz. Madsen will be buried
in the American cemetery at Cob

WEST VIRGINIA
MINERS RETURN
TO THEIR HOMES
Persuaded by Union Head to
End Hike Begun to Rectify
Alleged Wrong.

Charleston. w. Va, Sept.r7.-The
several thousand miners who took
march cross-country Saturday with
the avowed purpose of forcing non
union miners in Logan county to or
ganize were prevailed upon Sun
day to desist in their efforts after
almost hourly telephone conferences
throughout the greater part of the
day between Governor Cornwell in
this city, and Frank Keeney, presi-
dent of District II, United Mine
Workers. The men were started
back to their homes late Sunday
afternoon, from Danville and Clo-
thier, at which points they had
camped overnight. They were
brought back in special trains sent
to the rendezvous by the governor.
and the union officials said that all
will return to work Monday morn
ing.
The men had taken up the march
without instructions or counsel with
President Keeney. Rumors and re-
ports that are said to be false and
misleading inflamed the miners and
with one section of the little army
it was the determination to rectify
the reported conditions in Logan
county.
q In announcing that he would make
a statement Monday, Governor
Cornwell said that there has been
some mysterious radical influence
working about this part of the
state. The false reports were spread
to radical newspapers, and these
were mailed to every miner within
reach in this part of the state. The
governor said he will call upon the
mine officials of the district, and
also the officers of the national
organization of mine workers, to in
vetigate who the element is that is
responsible for the false reports and
that they must be dealt with rigor-
ously.

WILSONPOUNDING
AGAINST WALL OF
STONE, HAYS SAYS
Republican National Chairman
Says Treaty Won't Be Rati-
fled Without Reservations.

Chicago, Sept. I'm statement
issued here Sunday, Will H, Hays,
chairman of the rpublican national
Committee, declared that President
Wilson was pounding against a
stone wall in attempting to have the
peace treaty ratified without reser-
vations.
Chairman Hays statement fol-
lows:
Il agree with President Wilson
that the treaty will be ratified, but
the ratification will be accompanied
5y reservations absolutely safeguard
ing the full independence and free
dom Of action of this republic. That
is the simple fact which the presi-
dent may as we'll recognize first as
last. At present he is only pound
ing against a stone wall of patriot
ism, which has already become i'm
pregnable and is daily increasing in
width. strength and height.
Won't Be Coerced.
"The committee reservations con-
stitute the irreducible minimum of
the requirements of a substantial
ma ajority of senators who cannot be
coerced >or cajoled into violating
their oaths of Office to hold America
first. There is no partisanship in
their position: True, every republi-
can senator, without exception,
stands with the committee, but be-
cause he is an American, not because
he is a republican. l sincerely be-
lieve further that an actual major
ity of the democratic senators feel
the same way and evidences multi
ply daily that when the time comes
a considerable number will vote the
same way.
Up to President.
1T is for the president to deter
mine when the test shall be, made
The treaty will be reported out this
week and a vote can be had as soon
as it can be reached under the rules,
unless it is delayed by senator's act
ing under the direction of the presi-
dent himself. 1t is simply now up
to the administration to decide
whether it will or will not accept at
once these essential guarantees of
American independence which will
unquestionably be promptly accept
ed by the other nations. 1t is i'm
perative that this matter be settled
right. 1t ought, by all means, to be
settled promptly. The full respon-
sibility for any delay will rest upon
the president and him alone"

against a peace founded on brute
force" said the resolution. Gas one

our peoples into free and unfree, as

he will review the Pacific fleet. He

The president and Mrs. Wilson
rested most of the day in their
suite at a Des Moines hotel, where
they had spent their first night off
their special train since leaving
Washington Wednesday. In the
morning they attended services,
however, at Central Presbyterian
church, and in the afternoon went
for an automobile ride, which took
them out through the country about
the Iowa Capital.
Explores His Hotel.
The presidents suite was on the
mezzanine floor of the hotel and
just before dinner was to be served
at 7:30 he strolled out, found the
floor almost deserted except for
the soldiers on guard at the en-
trance to his suite, and sat down
alone in the chair overlooking the
lobby. Presently he moved over to
a public writing table and wrote a
letter, and then took stroll through
a rear parlor, exchanging greetings
with several people he met there.
Before he returned to his suite he
explored a couple of Railways nearby
and took another look down into
the lobby.
The president seemed to enjoy his
afternoon automobile ride, immense
ly. On the way smaller car
turned over into the ditch within
