 Victory is not merely a matter of jubilation, accepting surrender of beaten foe and dropping the gun to take uD the blow share in the furrow where it stood when the call to arms came

SIMPLE ACTION ENDS
BRITISH MINE STRIKE
Geddes Blamed for Error
That Tied Up Production.

Copyright, 1913; al rights fescTLtd.
LONDON, July 25.-By continued con-
ferences with the leaders of the striking
Yorkshire miners Premier Lloyd George
finally has reached something like set
tlement which will put the men back
at work The whole Yorkshire out
break apparently was caused by si'nn's
mistake in addition made by Sir Auck-
land Geddes and his advisers in tho
Ministry of Labor.
The miners doing piece work in the
Yorkshire district discovered that when
their demand for shorter hours was
granted they would not make as much
in wages as they had been receiving.
Therefore they put in a claim OF lab
per cent. increase wherever their hours
were reduced 10 per cent
About this simple little matter OF q
sliding scale arose an incredible amount
of mathematics and as the matter pro-
ceeded the Government officials became
more and more deeply involved in sta
tistics of all kinds. All this was confus-
ing and finally resulted in an official or
der that piece workers should receive
only 10 per cent. increase in wages.
Yorkshire mine owners agreed with
their men and were ready to sign an
agreement to pay the difference between
10 per cent and 1913 per cent, but the
Coal Controllers order stopped negotias
tions and the strike followed. The public
now lays the blame for the whole affair
upon Sir Auckland Geddes, with good
deal of censure for the Government,
which failed completely to discover the
real cause of the trouble and the simple
remedy required until serious results
were threatened.

the Foreign Relations Committee, said
the, Colombian treaty would be taken
up by the COMMITTEES next week with

had been reached between Senator Lodge
and Under Secretary Polk. OF the State
Department by which the committee
would eliminate the clause of the treaty
suggesting regrets to Colombia for the
partition Of Panama

amount of the damages to be paid Co
lombia was reduced to $15,000.000, but

mittees Work On.

DRY LAW ACTION TO WAIT

WASHINGTON, July 25.--A recess OF
the House during nearly all of August
was agreed upon to-day by Republican
leaders. It 10 planned to begin the re-
cess Saturday, August q. The exact
length of the recess will be left to the
steering committee, the recall to be de-
tcrmined by conditions demanding legis-
letive attention or any measures passed
by the Senate which would need House
approval.
With the approval of nearly all the
important legislation that House COM
mittees have framed, House leaders de-
cided a month would be in order while
the Senate is wrestling with the peace
treaty. II plans are carried out and The
House recesses a week from tomorrow,
1t is not probable that the prohibition
enforcement legislation will get final APP
prevail until in September. as 1t Is not
likely that the Senate will approve the
House measure next week.
Amendments are certain to be adopted
in the Senate. requiring a conference
with the House. with the latter's final
action after the recess This will prob
ably mean that no definite action can be
taken against 2.75 per cent. beer until
a short time before the wartime pro-
hibition act will be repealed, which Is
expected about October 1.
Nearly all the House investigating
committees will sit during the recess and
continue their inquiries of the Wilson
ADMINISTRATOR record. The Ways and
Means Committee also will meet to finish
the tariff bill, and the Committee on In
terstate and Foreign Commerce will con-
tinue its hearings on railroad legislation.
The resolution to authorize the House
recess will be introduced some time next
week, and sent to the Senate for con-
firmation. Before the recess is taken
House leaders hope to push through sew
eral important bills.
The move of the committee investigat-
ing War Department expenditures to
force the sale to the public of large
army food supplies will be considered
Monday. The resolution ordering Secre-
tary Baker to put all the food on the
market in the near future is being OPP
posed by Democrats, who are insisting
that injustices are done the War De-
partment in the investigating commit
tees report. They are asking reopen
ing Of the hearings or the delay in mar

LEGISLATION for the deportation OF

peal the taxes on ice cream and soda
water before recessing. The steering

taxes as soon as possible, but the ma
jority of the committee favors delaying
consideration OF the luxury tax repeal

PITTMAN SEES PERIL
IN AMENDING PACT
Smith, ARK, Also Urges Rati-
fication as 1t Stands.

WASHINGTON, July 25.--Any reserva-
lions in the Senate ratification of the
peace treaty would reopen the whole field
OF negotiation, encourage other nations
to make reservations and renew interna
tional dissension, declared Senator Pitt
man (Nev), a Democratic member of
the Foreign Relations Committee, in an
address to-day in the Senate.
The speaker cited the Spanish treaty
of 1919, TO which the Senate attached a
reservation as to papal claims in Florida,
and said that although the Spanish Gov
eminent attached the same reservation,
the treaty had been ratified a second
time because the two stipulations were
differently worded. He pointed out that
the Supreme Court later had held this
reservation to be "a part of the treaty"
and that the same court had held of the
treaty with Spain that "in its essence il
is n contract"
Are we justified In assuming that
other parliaments and governments will
accept without further Interpretations
our definitions of the articles of the
covenant as affecting our own obliga-
tlons?
"Japan's most bitter fight at the coun-
ell table was to grant the league juris-
diction to prevent the United States,
Canada and Australia from excluding
dpdhSES llOiia the
immigration laws. Think you that the
Japanese Government will neglect the
opportunity TO again insist upon reser-
vations in the treaty covering this point?
Think you that the Italian Parlia-
ment, having the opportunity by reopen
ing OF negotiations, would hesitate 10

they believe are necessary to protect her
interests at Fiume, Dalmatia and along
the Adriatic when We had set the eX-

Would there be cause for surprise IT,
In the circumstances, the Parliament OF
Great Britain should feel justified in
adding reservation to the treaty when
1t goes back to them TO the effect that
the clause providing for limitation of
naval armament shall not, by reason OF
Great Britain's peculiar situation, apply
to that Government?
Unless we approve this treaty as II
stands, then we open the door to all of
the disastrous possibilities Of renewed
International dissenson,"
Senator Smith (Aris.), a Democratic
member of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee, followed with an address in
which he upheld the league covenant
as protecting the Monroe Doctrine, re-
serving domestic questions for national
action. providing ample opportunity for

port censuring the War Department for
delaying sale of surplus foodstuffs and
asking adoption Of a policy OF imme-
dfate distribution were blocked to-day by
Republican committeeman.
By a strict party vote the Democrats
request for a reopening of hearings or
the food stocks was denied. The Demo
cratic members had announced they
would attempt to disprove statements
contained in the report. Simultaneous
with their failure and the direction by
the Republican members that a rule be
asked for immediate House consideration
of the resolution calling for a policy OF
sale at once to the consuming public, the
Democrats decided to submit a minority
report. challenging the Statements Of
the Republicans.
Because of prospective arguments OF
Democrats that . change in policy oil

falling into the hands of spectators

quest the sales to be made directly tc
