Washington, Nov. 1S-The govern ment stepped to the front today to force miners and operators to negotiate q new wage agreement and resume work in the soft coal field before the country is in the grip of a coal famine.
 Clothed with all of his wartime pow iers as fuel administrator and acting by direct authority of the presidents cabinet, Dr. Harry A. Garfield called a joint meeting Of scale committee and at which he was expected to give for nal notice that the time had come to res''me mining operations on normal scale.
 V, nile the joint conference was set for this afternoon, Dr. Garfield found that a full attendance could not be obtained, so it went over until tonnor row. Meanwhile word was passed that the strike situation had reached that point where action was regarded by federal authorities as absolutely inn perative.
 There was no evidence as presented to the cabinet that the scale commit tees, called here last week to negotiate a new wage agreement, had made the least headway. Reports from the cen- trai competitive fields, embracing the states of Illinois. Indiana, Ohio and western Pennsylvania, strongholds of the UnlleQ Mine WOrkerS or Amerlca, showed all mines shut down and not enough coal coming from non union plants in other states to meet the nor nal demand by several million tons. Other reports, from widely separated sections, brought the same story of a rapidly vanishing coal supply. with in dicatiGns that hundreds of industrial plants would be forced to close shortly 1 unless coal production was put back at norn.al.
 Although he would not discuss the nature of the statement he was pre- l pared to. lay before the operators and miners was said on high authority that Dr. Garfield was prepared to pre-
 sent the situation forcibfv. There was
 no intimation as to what direction gov
 ernr1entaf action would take in case 1.-the deadlock continued.

VIENNA, May s. (delayed). - The

in Parliament this afternoon when
Chancellor Renner, In accepting the
nomination as a peace delegate to go to
st. Germain, said he relinquished all
hopes with fusion with Germany. His
speech was made while the impression
caused by the Allies terms to Germany
was still strong The feeling In the
Chamber was. according to one speaker.
that at would be madness to unite with
a nation subject to such measures."
The Austrian people must not suffer
for the misdeeds Of their rulers" the
Chancellor said. I'VE never wanted
the war and we were not guilty of
bringing II about. will do my best to
secure better terms for ourselves"
The address was delivered within q
stones throw of the Foreign Offioe In
Ballplatz, where the FIRST machinery OF
the war was set in motion almost five
years ago, and moved many of the
Chancellor's hearers to tears. A few
Socialists demanded that no delegates
be sent but there was no attempt at re-
volt or Bolshevisqn.
Indications to-day were that DR.
Franz Klein. who favors the annexation
Of Austria to Germany. VIII not head
the Austrian delegation to st. German

place as chief OF the mission. The Chan.
cellor will be accompanied by DR.. Soho

FRANCE. INSECURE,
VIEW OF WRITERS
Military and Financial Terms
Of Treaty Are Attacked
by Experts.

PARIS, May 10.-The military clauses
Of the peace treaty do not give France
any security. In the view OF Henri
Bidou. the military critic. of, the Journal
des Debdts. He says that they give
France the frontier OF 1870, which is
the frontier made against her hi 1914.
All military writer's between those
two dates. Bidou continues. maintained
capable Of defence In case OF de-
fensive war and that the French forces
would have to fall back on established
positions In the region Of Nancy as
In the present war. To support this
view, NJ. Bidou quotes several French
and German writer's. He also says
that the treaty gives Belgium no more
security than It gives France.
As to. the thirty mile demilitar1xed
zone east of the Rhine. he adds, It is
no protection because German covering
troops could cross and seize the pas
ssges of the Rhine and establish strong
bridgeheads at the first sign Of war
before the French could stop them.
NJ. Bidou says II IL hard to see how .
limitation OF tho numbers Of the Ger
man army can be enforced. He declares
that everyone knows that by permitting
Germany 100000 seasoned troops she
will be given the nucleus around which
the entire nation could gather.
The financial clauses OF the treaty
between the allied and associated ma
tons and Germany continued to be the
most discussed sections Of the document
and are almost universally condemned
by the commentators for not making
Germany responsible for the repayment
of the entire cost OF the war. and for
leaving France with a burden placed at
170, 200. 900. 900 francs ($34.0o0. oo0. ooo)

to-day. [Previous advices had indicated
that the Austrian delegation was ex-
pected to reach Paris Mohday.J
The portion of the German treaty
which has not as yet been made public
contains a provision that German Aus
trials separation from Germany shall be
"inalienable," unless approved by the
council of the League of Nations. The
use of the word "inalienable' Is for the
purpose of settling tho question not only
for the present but for a long period.
The Italian delegates and the Jugo-
Slavs are showing great interest in the
distribution OF the warships of the Aus
trian navy. Since the Austrian fleet
operated chiefly in the Adriatic against
the Italians, many of the craft now are
in italian harbors.
The American. delegation has received
a visit from a Jugo-Slav official holding
title of Admiral Of the Jugo-Slav feet"
He said that most OF the crews on the
Austrian warships were Jugo-Slavs and
that these crews surrendered the ships
to the Allies with the expectation that
they would be allotted to the Jugo-Slav
navy. He was advised that the new
State should not ask for naval develop
ment as its interests largely are in
land.
