ARRIVAL
 OF CRUISERS WILL
 RELIEVE TROOPS
Gen. Richardson on Board to Take Command of
 American Forces.

Washington, April 11.-Arrival of the American cruiser Galveston and Chester at Murmansk, reported to- day in Associated Press dispatches, is expected by officers to relieve the situation among American troops in the Archangel region, company of which ten days ago, refused to go to the front until arguments were pre- scented by their officers. The ves- sels carried Brigadier General w. F. Richardson, who is to assume com mand of the American forces and two companies of railway engineers. Gen. eral Richardson and the engineers were ordered to Murmansk at the time it was decided to withdraw the entire allied force in Northern Rus sia and their arrival is expected to re-assure the American troops and prevent any spread of the mutiny.
 No further information as to the mutiny was issued today by the de- partment. It requires some days for cables to reach Archangel and so far as could be learned, the department had no additional advices. Officers were inclined to believe that the in- cident reported in the cablegram last night was the only one of the kind that had occurred. Otherwise, it was said, other messages would have come in the time that has clap ,sed.

ABHOR POLICY OF
 MAILED FIRST
Desire Reconciliation With France And The Other Allies
 Immediately.

Berlin, Thursday, April 1O.-(By The Associated Press. Chancellor Scheidemann addressing the assem- bly, on Germany's future policy, said the policy would be based on three principles; strict observances of all treaties, unswerving protection of vital German interests and mainten- 'ance of a spirit of unreserved concil- iation with the entire world. He de- clared that Germany must deprive two sworn foes of international un- ing-imperialism and chau- vinism-of all possibility of influenc- ing it's foreign policy n any direction.
 ''We want an equal reapproachment with all peoples" the chancellor con- tinued, mot fresh division of the world into alliances and groups which loaded rifles
 We hope that the liquidation of the war in the East will soon be con- pleted. We cannot allow Russia to use force upon us in shipping our in- ternal affairs. But if Russia re- nounces forceful propaganda of bol- shevism, we would gladly extend a brotherly hand to the Russia people, who like ourselves, had to pay for the false calculation by it's foe, i'm perialism. with defeat, collapse and misery. The bitterly hard road to new economic and state consolida- tion is common to both of us.
 Desire Reconciliation.
 "As regards France, Germany de- sires reconciliation, and it is quite clear we should know the obligations we have undertaken toward her.'
 The chancellor asserted that the new revolution in Munich with a sov- jet republic there proclaiming an of fensive and defensive alliance with the Hungarians and Russian soviets endangers peace just at the moment when i've give indisputable proof of our will for peace and our repugnance for any policy of the mailed fist"
 "Dreamers" he continued, dare again to set up the banner of war against nations with whom we desire tomorrow to sit at conference table,"
 "We oppose soviet republic" continued the chancellor, mot mere ly on internal political grounds, but because we want peace. without which we would be ruined"
 Want World Alliance.
 "We want" he declared, "a great world alliance in which equal nations can develop freely without the old fctters of armaments and without the new burdens of bolshevistic civil war.

Paris, April 1.-The report of the committee on international labor leg islation which drafted program to govern international regulation of employment conditions, was adopted by the peace conference today with amendments proposed by George Nf- coll Barnes, minister without port folio, in the British cabinet, and one of the representatives of his coun- try on the labor committee.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1919-04-12

The Paris dispatch contains the first report that the important ques- tions of the Rhine and Polish from tiers had been settled by the peace conference. Agreement on repara- tions and indemnities was announced earlier in the week.
 The Rhine question includes the future, not only of the river itself, but also of the German territory west of the Rhine from Lorraine north to the border of Holland. It also af- fleets the eastern bank of the Rhine and it's use for military purposes.
 The Polish frontiers affect all the countries bordering on -tha new 'Po- land and the proposal to give Pc land an outlet to the Baltic by way of DanZig.
 Apparently the question of the Adriatic and Italian claims on the eastern shore of that sea still is in abeyance. The Atdriatic problem does not concern Germany primarily as the territory involved formerly was included in the Austro- Hungar- ian empire.
