BRITISH MINE
 STR|KE,ENDED

LONDON, July 25.-The Miners Federation today accepted the govern ment's offer of new piece rates for coal mining and recommended that all miners unions accept the proposi- tion and return to work. The York shire miners will meet tomorrow and decide whether they will accept. It is believed they will do so.
 The government is leaving navy men at the mines where the men have gone out until work is generally re sumed, and the railways are cOntinu- ing their preparations for increased services should there be any such set tlement.
 The governments piece rate offor accepted by the Miners Federation, according to Robert Smile, mine workers leader, coincides with the resolutions adopted by the miners conference at Keswick. It removes a grievance which was the direct cause of the Yorkshire strike.
 There still remain other grievances of the miners, the first is the omis- sion of the government to take steps in the direction of the recomme enda- tions in the recent Sankey report for the gradual naturalization of the mines and the second, the govern ments refusal to grant the demands of the miners for an impartial expert inquiry into decreased output which the miners assert is due largely to the failure of the mine owners to keep their mines in proper working order.
 They accuse the owners of deliber- ately neglecting to repair the equip ment of the mines in order 10 discred- it naturalization.

IF CHINA
 AGAINST JAPAN
 BEFORE SENATE
Official Copy of AppeoI To Allies at Versailles Reveals
 Charge laps Kept China Out
 Of the War Against Germany

WASHINGTON, July 25-Senator Spencer, Republican, of Missouri. laid before the senate today what he said was an official copy of China's plea at Versailles against the Shantung settlement.
 The petition declares Japan's promise to return Kiaochaw at some future date is "illusionary, ? in that it gives no pledge to return also the surrounding territory dom- mating Kiaochow. It is recited that the treaties resulting in Japan's claim to Kiaochow which followed the fam- ous twenty-one demands of 1915, were made under intimidation and that Japan's real aim in entering the war against Germany was to strengthen her own position in the far east.
 China's appeal for abrogation of the 1915 treaties was summarized as follows:
 T. Because these treaties at tempt to deal with matters whose proper determination is entirely right of the peace conference.
 "2. Because they contravene the allied formula of justice and powers now serving as the guiding rules of the peace conference.
 "3. Because specifically they vio- late the territorial integrity and prin- pal independence of China as guar anteed in the series of conventions and agreement concluded by Great Britain, France, Russia, and the United States with Japan.
 A. Because they were negotiated in circumstances of intimidation and concluded under the duress of the Japanese ultimatum of May, 1915.
 "5. Because they are lacking in finality, being so regarded by Japan, who sought to make them final by negotiating, before China was suffer ed to enter the war, a set of secret agreements at variance with the prin- ciples accepted by the beligerants as the basis of the peace settlement" !"
 Says Japan Lost Allies Aid
 The petition declared that except for the attitude of Japan, China would have joined the allies in Au- gust, 1914, or at latest by November, 1915, instead of remaining out until February, 1917. It also declares that if Japan itself had not kept China out of the war until Kiaochow had been captured, "the leased territory of Kiaochow would have been direct ly restored to China as one of the states associated in the war against the Central powers"

Jap Admits NippOn's Prestige Lowered

China should be taught that the exc cution of an exclusive settlement and the building of railroads by Japan in Shantung does by no means constitute a violation of China's sovereignty. He added:
 Tn this connection 1t has been re- ported that the Anglo-American as- sociation at Picking has passed reso- lution to the effect that the Shantung question is destined to disturb the peace, not only between Japan and China, but also that of the entire world
 This is most bold resolution to be passed by a foreign association. and it would be interesting to know what steps have been taken by the governmen in the matter. Great Brit ain has been allied to Japan during the last 20 years and if Japan has given offense to the British to such an extent as to force them to pass such a resolution strict inquiry must be made into the cause of the offense."

 Chairman Graham, after the con- mittee meeting, asserted that such a policy existed and that subsequent re- ports on other subjects would be made by the committee to prove the policy applied to various commodities as well as food. He asserted that 'the same private control of the government continues as was exercised by the council of national defense in framing war policies"
 MT. Floods conference with war de- partment officials today led him to challenge the majority report in a let ter which was concurred in by the other Democrats in asking a reopen ing of the hearings.

Declares Both Siberia and Russia Would Be Reduced To Utter Chaos if Railroad Lines Were Not Kept Open
IS REWARD TO RUSSIA
 FOR HER AID IN WAR
President, In Answer to Sen.
 JohnSon'S Resolution, Says U. s. Troops Must Stay By Agreement Made With Japan

WASHINGTON. July 25.-President Wilson informed the senate today in response to a resolution by Senator Johnson, Republican, California. that the presence of American troops in Siberia was vital element" in the restoration and maintenance of traf fife on the Siberian railroad and that under the agreement with Japan they could be withdrawn only when the American experts operating the road were withdrawn.
 The president said Siberia could be protected from a further period of chaos and anarchy only by keeping the railroad open and that lacking the prime essentials of life the people there were looking to the United States and the allies for economic as- sistance. This already is being ex- tended and additional supplies are to be sent forward.
 Americans Guard Vladivostok.
 Rowing bands having no connection with any organized government in Russia, are menacing the railroad, the president said, and consequently pro- tection by the military is necessary. American troops, he said. now are en- gagged in guard duty at Vladivostok, and around Verchne, Udinsk. A small body also is at Harbin.
 The original purposes of the Amer ican military expedition, MT. Wilson wrote, were twofold. The saving of the CZecho-Slovak forces and the steadying of the efforts of the Rus sians at self defense or the establish ment of law and order which they might be willing to accept. Major Gen eral Graves, commanding :he eXpedi- ton of 5000 men, was specifically di- rected not to interfere in Russian af- fairs, the president said, but to sup port wherever necessary John H. Stew ems, the American railway engineer. who is carrying out the work of re- habilitating the Siberian railroad un- der the direction of the inter allied committee.
 Acted With Japan
 The presidents message said that the decision to send American troops to Siberia was taken in conjunction with Japan and in concert of purpose with other allied powers first of all to save the Czecho- -Slovak armies which were threatened with destruction by hostile armies apparently organized by and often largely composed of pris- oners of war.
 "The second purpose in view was to steady any efforts of the Russians at self defense or the establishment

DOUGLAS, Ariz, July 25.-Misun- derstanding among some of the de- fendants and witnesses for the state as to the time set for their appear ance this afternoon caused a delay in the progress of the I. w. w. de. portation hearings until next Tues day afternoon.

She admitted several times that her only reason for believ- ing Watkins had anything to do with the deportations was the fact that he was armed and was associating with other armed citizens. Asked if she had seen him say anything to, or take any action against, the deportea men, the witness replied that she had not.
 John B. Chase and Bert Perry tes- tified for the state to having seen Watkins with a gun at Warren on the day of the deportations. They, also, said Watkins had done or said noth- ing to the deported men to their knowledge.
