WILL ROAR TOWARD GERMANY
Position Of sculptured Lion on Fa-
NOUS Battlefield Of Waterloo 10
to Be Reversed.

The lion on the battlefield of Water
before long it will stand with open.
ponderOus paws roaring silently, after
the manner Of your fierce but consid-
crate sculptured lions, toward Ger
many instead of France. Fortunately
for the quiet of the countryside the
roar Is imaginary or the lion would
long ago have become nuisance
whichever way he faced. The lion
was set up by Belgium after the bat
tie of Waterloo, and stood as warn
ing to France not to engage In any
more Napoleonic dreams Of conquest !;
and year after year 1t looked toward
France, while behind 1t Germany pre-
pared for the next effort to dominate
other nations. 1t maintained its atti-
tude while Germany carried through
the program that separated AlSace-
Lorraine from France; but presently
behind the lions back Belgium began
to fortify. and eventually left him In
the ridiculous position Of looking In
one direction while the Belgian fortiti-
cations looked in another. A tame
lion, one might say, roaring for the edi-
fication of tourists and with no per-
sOnal feeling about it. But now Bel
GUM decides to turn him round and
let him roar toward Germany as a
solemn reminder of the unwisdOm of
dreams of world conquest.

FEARS COAL COMMISSION
Is DOOMED TO FAILURE
Pennsylvania Operators Chairman
Declares It Should Consist of
Nine Members.
NEW YORK. December eth,

NEW YORK. December 22-The
commission appointed by President Will
son to settle the bituminous coal strike
is not. either in purpose or effect,
pubIAc tribunal and cannot effect
perma nent solution of the difficulty,
Thoma H. Watkins. chairman of the
Central Pennsylvania bituminous coal
operators association, declared in
statement here, in which he protested
against the limitation of the commits
sion to three men.
Mr. Watkins said that his association
takes the position that a public tribu
mar consist ng of the mine ablest men
available, five representing the public,
two the operators and two the miners,
is the only competent commission to
handle the difficulty.
Declaring that the operators had not
changed their attitude toward arbitra-
ton, Mr.. Watkins asserted. however.
that they objected to the 'three-man
commission" because it consists of two
men personally interested in the con-
troversy," and only one representative
of the public
1T, is not fair or reasonable to ex
pect two men whose lifeworll has been
in the coal industry to reach a decision
which may vitality affect the future of
their associates" he said. There are
questions of principle at stake which
shoI,' lly be dealt with by a tribunal
upon which the representatives OF the
public outnumber representatives of the
interested group
Mr. Watkins said that the operators
considered the Presidents instructions
to the commission fine and broad
enough to cover the situation.
