with the decision Of the executive
committee of the United Mine Work

turn to work Immediately In accord
ance with the proposal of President
Wilson," said the secretary, the "
tional industrial situation from the
standpoint Of increased production,
seems to wear a better aspect tnan
at any time since the period OF unrest
began more than a year ago with the
signing of the armistice.
TT seems likely that within week
or ten DAYS more men will be at their
accustomed daily tasks than at any
time within many months.
.aThe returning miners can be count
cd upon to overcome swiftly the fuei
shortage. which as / said in tele-
gram to President John l.. Lewis, OF
the miners organization, had brought
tbe country face to face with perhaps
the most difficult industrial situation
that over arose. With the mines again
turning out the normal fuel supply
factories can run full time and pro-
duction will be- largely increased. Inls

International disarmament is prac-
only il a real league of nations
is established-one wherein each ma
tion is subject to the same military
cOnditiOns-in the opinion OF the
greatest maker OF ornaments in his
tory.
Disarmament would be very excel
lent If we were sure OF a league OF ma
tions in the full sense OF the word"
declared Frau Bertha Krupp Won
Bohlen, head of the great Krupp
works and perhaps the richest woman
in the world. "By that mean il we
are loyal in adherence to the condi-
tions of league OF nations. 1t can
not be one-sided league, however,
and must say that, according to ex-
periences of the present time, we must
doubt IL others mean to have 1t other
wise than one sided; in other words,
whether the league can be realized. "
Frau Krupp Won Bohlen made 1t
plain that in referring to the lone
sidedness" OF the league, she meant
permitting France to remain armed,
while Germany Is reduced to the
status of fourth rate power, mill
tarily. She pointed to the "non-recon-
ciliation policy. of France, especially
regarding retention of war prisoners
and delivery of German officers for
trial. as illustrative OF her meaning.

would be a noble task to arouse
American mothers to consciousness of
the real and sad state Of things in this
country, political reasons for which l
prefer to leave out Of the discussion" !"
This is the conclusion OF a message
Frau Krupp Won Bohlen, herself the
mother of five children, sent to Ameri-
ca through the United Press.
"Only generous action on the widest
scale set afoot by country like
America which commands great nat
ural resources, coulu bring her abso-
lutely needful aid"
Frau Krupp Won Bohlen received
the correspondent following an inspec-
tion OF the gigantic Krupp works In
which he saw the launching of the
first locomotive and train OF cars ever
built in the famous German munitions
plant, now being converted into a
peace-time factory.
In advance, the correspondent sug-
gested some questions involving in
ternatiOnal policies, but she held it
was Inadvisable to discuss such prob
lens. Her utterances were along
strictly humanitarian lines. She wish
cd American women-and the worlds
women--to give few minutes steady,
earnest thought to Germany's under
fed women and children. She was
doubtful of the best means Of accomp-
fishing this but was quite positive
that with peace again at hand, the
world ought at least to have the spirit
of humanity and reconciliation to the
extent of being merciful to women and
babies"
