CRITICIZES WILSON.
For His Charge of Imperialism"
Against France.

Washington, d. c., March l2.-Presi-
dent Wilson's charge of imperialism"
against France contained in his letter
TO United States Senator Hitchcock
early this week. has moved the Morn
ing Post to take mp the cudgen in ia
vor of France. The newspaper cites
Mr.. Wilson'S present criticism and his
appeal to Italians over the head OF
Premier Orlando last summer as show
ing that "under the impulse OF his
lofty ideals, the American president Is
almost as impatient of the eonstitu-
tional governments OF modern Europe
an democracies as he Is impatient OF
his own Senate
eAIr. Wilson's slight to France" tie
newspaper continues, "is particularly
disturbing when one remembers the
moving passages in which he recorded
America 5 appreciation Of what France
suffered in the cause of human freedom.
Americans and Englishmen viii under
stand the amazement of Francs that
the same voice which described her as
the sentinel of liberty should now ac-
cuse her of being saddled with the same
kind of chauvinistic government TO
overthrow which she sacrificed a mil
lion of her sons"
ConteRdnig there are many indica-
tions of the spirit of aggression and
revenge rising in Germany, and dis
missing the league of nations as being
almost as effective barrier against
German aggression as the International
Postal union," the newspaper says:
"The American nation, a chivalrous
eomrade in arms and an old friend, will
realize that France which in Mr.. VIII
sons admirable phrase, formed the d.
viding line between democracy and
tyranny, cannot afford to take risks"

MAJORITY PROPOSED
25 PER CENT RAISE
While Minority, Consist
ing of John R. White, the
Minority's Repr esenta-
tive, Is Understood to
Have Stood Out for IS
Per Cent Increase and
Seven Hours Work.

Washington, D. c., March l2.--An et-
fort to compose the differences between
the majority and minority OF the btu
minous coal strike commission Will be
made by President Wilson, it was said
to-day at the White House.
Officials said that neither the majorf-
ty nor minority report would be made
public If there was probability OF
bringing the members Of the commits.
sion to an agreement on their princl-
nal differences-the amount OF the
wage advance and the hours of work.
John p. Whites minority report was
ready to be submitted to-day to Pres
ident Wilson.
Mr.. White, the miners representa-
tive on the commission, refused to dis
cuss his recommendations but it was
understood that he had held for an in
crease in wages of approximately 80
per cent and no changes an hours and
conditions of work.
John l.. Lewis, president of the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America, conferred
to-day with Mr.. White and William
Green, secretary of the miners union,
familinrizing himself with the facts.
He still declined to make any state
1nent, but it was expected that the full
executive committee OF the miners
would be summoned to consider the
future action of the workers.
While the commission failed to reach
q unanimous decision, asked for by the
president, it was said to-day that its
labors had not been in vain, and Off
cials generally believe that the, two
conflicting reports could be used as a
basis for an amicable agreement be-
tween the operators and miners.
