WAsHINGToH. Nov. 25.-The Ameri-
can Government has informed Great
Britain politely. but firmly, that it
does not propose to be excluded from
participation in the rights and privi-
leges secured under mandates pro-
vided in the treaties Of peace. Fur
thermore, It expects to be heard re-
garding the terms of those mandates
before they are put into force.
The position of the United States
is set forth in a note by Secretary
Colby to Earl CurZon. the British
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs
and the specific question discussed IS
that of the Mesopotamian petroleum
fields. Mr.. Colby's note is dated No
vember 90 1t Is in reply to British
note of last August 9, which has never
been made public and which deals
with the application of the principles
of equality of treatment to the terri
tories Of the Near East to be placed
under British mandate.
The American note takes issue with
what is described as the British posi-
ton that mandate agreements and
treaties are to be considered only by
States that are members of the League
OF Nations 1t states that the United
States. as a participant in the world
war "and a contributor to It's sue
cessfui issue. cannot consider any of

not less than itself debarred from
discussion of any of its consequences,
or from participation In the rights and
privileges secured under the mandates
provided in the treaties Of peace"

Mr.. Colby says In his note that the
American Government accepts the state
ment of the British Government that II
ras rcfra red from exploiting the petrol
cum of the inundated territories In ques-
ton "and welcomes your pledges that
It Is far from the intention of Great
Britain to establish any kind of mon
opoly or preferred position in Its own
interest"
Ittu HtIQig i'iNi
Colby continues, Ito the fact that the
Government Of the United States has
consistently urged that IL Is OF the
utmost Importance TO the future peace or
the world that alien territory transferred
as result Of the war with the Central
Powers should be held and administered
In such way as TO assure equal treat
ment to the commerce and to the citi-
zens of all nations. Indeed. IL was re-
lance upon an understanding to this
effect. and expressly In contemplation
thereof, that the United States was per-
suaded that the acquisition under man
date Of certain enemy territory by the
victorious Powers would be consistent
with the best interests of the world.
1T is assumed accordingly that your
statements with reference TO mandate
"A (not described). together with the
statement that the draft mandates for
Mesopotamia and Palestine have been
prepared with a view to secure equality
OF treatment for the commerce and
citizens Of all States which are members
of the League of Nations. do not indicate
n supposition on your part that the
United States can be excluded from the
benefits or the principle OF equality Of
treatment"

GRAIN AMBLING.

Now that the day is at hand when
farmers in the wheat growing sec
lions of the United States will be
wanting to sell their crops, the grain
gamblers are knocking prices into a
"cocked-hat" with the complacency
that Woodrow and Tammany per-
formed the feat for one William j..
Bryan at a gathering of the "kept-
us-in-the-war" fellows at San Fran
cisco the fore part of this month.
Farmers wheat has suffered a loss
of % to 80 cents a bushel during the
last few days because lot of gam
blers in the grain-pit at Chicago
are permitted to ''bet" on how much
or how little wheat farmers will be
forced to sell within stated time.
Prices are crumbling every day, and
no man can forsee the end. Europe
is crying for American wheat and
the market should be strong with adj
vancing prices. President Wilson
declares the country is still at war
with Germany and is still exercising
the "war-power" conferred on him
by Congress. Yet he smugly allows
the parasites and profiteers to rob
the grain growing farmers of the ma
ton of that fair price they are en-
titled to- 1t is of a piece with his
''price-fixing" of the products Of the
farmers of the north while letting
the planters of the south reap the
profits of an open market.
No wonder the farmers and pro-

The story of the wealth of the Nez

This tribe has an everage of more
than $4,000 for every man, woman
and child, playing the estimate at
probably much below the actual fig
ures, for land on the reservation is
valued much below that in neighbor-
ing sections although just as produc-
tive. The condition of these Indians
now, as compared with that of the
tribes when they fought the white men
80 or 60 years ago, is high compli-

the tallest peak of Moscow mountain,
which has been so spectacular for
several days and nights, is under
complete control, and it is believed al
danger is past While there is some
SMOKE and probably will be for sever

decayed logs in the burnt over district
anG these may shoulder and burn for
weeks, but as the underbrush and
everything combustible around these
has been burned, there is no danger
of the fire again spreading from
these logs. Very little damage was
dore and the fire covered only u few |

both coal owners and miners of the
Nation, vet, this particular concern
refused to recognize the govern
ment of the United States, but in
sisted on its right to employ scabs
in place Of the Union citizens of
that community, who for many
years, prior to the strike, had been
employed there.
Attempts were made by the min
ers union to restore the status quo,
but with no avail. AS a result A
serious strike has been in process
there for some time.
The miners at Wilkeson have sue
ceeded in reaching most of the de-
luded men brought in there to
scab, and by presenting to. them
the full facts in the case have sue
ceeded in inducing them to leave
almost as soon as they have ar
rived at the mine.
The controversy has been before
the Federal Coal Commission and
Attorney-G Palmer for set
tlement, and indications point that
within a day or two a decision will
be reached, providing for restora-
tion of the status quo, existing
prior to the strike, and full recogni-
tion of the miners union.
President Harlin of the State
Miners Union is on his way home
from Washington now, but Nation
al Board member Caddy Is at Wash

side Of the case, and will not leave
there until full settlement has been
reached. However, information re-
ceived from Washington indicates
that by the LIST of February the
Wilkeson mine will again be in full
operation with a full union crew.
Too much credit cannot be given
the miners local at Wilkeson for
the admirable and effective way in
which they have conducted their
fight to compel this unpatriotic coal
company to recognize the suprem-
acy of the United States govern
ment.

which continued on strike after a
settlement had been outlined by
the President, is in process of
reaching a settlement now. This
coal company, which had done a
great deal of loud talking during
the general suppression in the
mines, and had demanded very
loudly that the authority of the
government be respected by all con-
cerned, branded the miners as dis
loyal because they had insisted
that a reasonable basis of settle

agree to return to work.
