Paris, Sept. 7.-Hurried arrange ments are being made for the signing of Inc Austrian treaty al St. Germain Wednesday, The ceremony will be much less formal than that at Yer sailleS as it is believed necessary to rush signature of the document be- cause of the unstable condition of the Vienna government.
 The signing will take place in the stone age hall of St. Germain Cha teau and much the same procedure will be followed as in the presentat of the original treaty to Dr. Karl Ken ner. head of the Austrian delegation, last June in the same room.
 There is much specula ton as to whether the Balkan states will sign the treaty. Rumania and JugosIavis are uncertain, the Jugoslavs still ne gotiating and apparently anxious to get reservation eXempting Serbia and Montenegro from the minorities clause. at least. It unlikely. however, that Jugoslavia will be permitted 10 sign with reservation. as China was denier the same privilege in connec- tion with the German treaty. China could gain membership in the League of Nations by signing the Austrian treaty, as efforts to get a clause into the Austrian treaty preventing any power from signing it which did not sign the Germany treaty failed.

The sacrifices he added, are to be made by American boys to perish in the snows of Siberia or to die beneath the suns of the equator"
 Declaring that the league will tinued. the president yet demands standing army of half a million men: insisting that war will be no more. he proclaims the doctrine of universal military training; asserting that the day has come when swords shall he beaten into p1oughshares. he demands millions for a navy

Chicago. Sept. I'm a statement is sued here today. Will H. Mays. chair man of the republican national com nittee, declared that President Will son was pounding against stone wall in attempting co have the re1ce treaty ratified without reserNar- ons.
 T agree with Presi1er- WIlsCn that the treaty will ne ratified. but tEe ratification will be accompanied by reserva ations absolutely safeguarding the full independence and freedom of action of this republic That Is the simple fact which the president may as well recognize first as last. At present he is only pounding against stone wall of patriotism which has all ready become impre gnabIe and is daily increasing in width. strength and height The committee reservation constitute the irreducible minimum of the requirements of a substantial ma iority of sena tors who cannot be CO., creed or cajoied into violating their paths of office to hold America first There IS no partisanship in their po sition. True, every republican sena- tor without exception stands with the committee, but because he is an Amer Ican-not because he is republican I sincerely believe further than ac tuai ma jority of the democratic sena- tors feel the same way and evidences multiply daily that when the time comes a considerable number will vote the same way
 Tt is for the president to determine when the test shall be made. The treaty will he reported out this week and vote can be had as soon as it can be reached unde- the rules unless it is delayed by sena tors acting under the direction of the president himself IL is simply now up 10 the admins traitor to decide whether it will or will not accept at once these essential guarantees Of American independence which will unquestionably be promptly accepted by the other nations. It is imperative that this matter be settled right. It ought. by all means. to he settled promptly The full responsi- bility for any delay will rest upon the president and him alone"

The resolutions committee may also report out a resolution on the league o- nations, Sentiment in regard to the naturalization of coal mines appears divided, some delegates doubting it's immediate Dractica bility.
 Questions Of ges and hours of la Dor are. however. naturally predomi- nant with the delegates from Penn sNlvania Ohio, Indiana, West Vir- ginia, Washington and other wide spread mining regions of America.

MILITANT COAL MINERS
 ARE TO RETURN TO WORK

Charleston. W Va, Sept 7-The several thousand miners who took up a march across country yesterday. with the avowed purpose Of forcing non union miners in Logan county to organize, were prevailed upon today to desist in their efforts. After al most hourly telephone conferences throughout the grea ter part of the day between Governor CornWeH in this city and Frank Keeney, president of District T., United Mine Workers. the men were started back to their homes late this afternoon. from Danville and Clothier. at which points they had camped over night They were brought back in special trains sent to the rendezvous by the governor and the union officials said that al will return to work tomorrow morning.
 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. Some of the reports that reached the miners in the kanawha field were that women and children were being murdered by mine guards in Logan county and it was lheir determina tion to put a stop to it.
 Saturday morning President Keeney was called upon by the governor to go
 
 Boone county, and urge them to dis perse and return to their homes. Pres ident keeney notified the governor that the men had voted to return and upon that notification three special trains were sent to bring the men back. It was expected that the men would come back at once a the trains were the scene a [ 12.30 o'clock. It was 3.55 before the first train started away. In the meantime on the gov ernOr's desk was a telegram to Gen eral Wood, at Chicago, who had had two regiments of troops under waiting orders al Camp Sherman for twenty four hours These troops were held under orders to move al a moments notice and just when the governor was about to give up hope of a peace full dispersing of the men, President keeney telephoned that the men were boarding the trains and would move out al once.
 Three hundred men who are at Clothier, nearby, refused to board the trains and declared they would re- turn as they came.
 The strike is peculiar in that it was not one of labor against employers. There appears to be no grievance in the Kama awha field, the operators pay wage agreement. In Logan county, which is an old established commit nifty. it is said the. miners themselves refuse to be organized. It is said by ma tlVeS or that county that the nm CT there make more money than the union men in the kanawha field and that most of them own their own homes. Many are owners of coal lands and draw royalties. They re- sent outsiders coming into their field. For some time the union men have endeayored to organize Logan county but aeitators were always driven out, sometimes. it is said at the muZzle of q gun. With this condition and the false reports. started the present trou- ble.

Vienna, Saturday. Sept. 6.-(By The A. P.) The national assembly. by a vote of e7 to g. today decided to sign the peace treaty. The assembly, how ever, protested against the violation of Austria's right of free disposal of herself"
 The German Nationalists voted against signature of the treaty while party abstained from voting. The vote was taken after adoption with out dissent of the governments reso- lutiOn of protest. presented by the Christian socialist Hauser. declaring the territorial clauses of the treaty violate grossly the national claim to self-determination and the basis on which the armistic was concluded.
 'tWe raise once more our voices against a peace founded on brute force. As one man decline the di- vidins up Of our peoples into free and unfree as is done by this peace. We further declare that the four million Germans forced under foreign rule will for all time insist on self-deter- mination as the only possible basis on which the modern state may be found- ed"
 The resolution also declares that ul- innate union with Germany is an ab solute necessity and expresses the hope that when the hatred of the war dies down this union will be com pIeted It ends by placing responsi- bility for sleeping Europe in revolu- ton and confusion on the shoulders of the entente and looks to the League

TO HOLD A CONSiSTORY IN
 NOVEMBER OR DECEMBER

Rome Sept. 7.-(By The A. PD- The pope has decided to hold a con- sistory in November or December at which new cardinals will be created. whether Americans will be included in the honor list. but that if they are the prelates most likely to receive the red hat will be Archbishop Dougher ty of Philadelphia and Archbishop Mundelein of Chicago.
 The difficulty seemingly is that if Pope Benedict appoints both these archbishops the United States would have four cardinals. which is consid- cred to be out of proportion to the number Of Catholics here
 On the other hand persons high in Papal councils declare. the pontiff appears 10 be unwilling to elevate only one of the archbishops and therefore the possibility is that neither of them will, a present. receive the honor.
