Says Lloyd-George Has Offered an
 Insult to South

Atlanta, Ga.,a April 21.-In state ment issued today E. B. Forrest, com mander in chief of the Sons of Con- federate Veterans, criticized recent utterances of Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain in which he com pared the Irish republic to the south ern confederacy and Eamonn de Va lera to Jefferson Davis.
 Resolutions condemning the re- marks of Lloyd George were adopt ed at meeting of the executive of ficers of the Sons of Confederate Vet erans in Washington last week. &C., cording to MT. Forrest. who said:
 Tn comparing the Irish republic to the southern confederacy and de Valera to Jefferson Davis, Lloyd George has offered, unconsciously perhaps, gratuitious insult to the Southern states in the American nnion and to the splendid sons of the Southern Confederacy who fought and distinouished themselves on the fields of France in the world war It is remarkable that statesman holding the high office of premier of Great Britain should be so ignor- ant of the political history of America"

S100,00() VERDICT
 lS POUND AGAINST
 ARKANSAS MINERS
Pennsylvania Mining Co. Wins Action in Federal
 Court

Fort Smith, Ark, April 21.-Ver. dict for the Pennsylvania Mining company for $100,oo0 actual damages against the United Mine Workers ot America, district 21 of the Mine Workers, and local mine worker bodies in three Arkansas counties was returned late today in federal court here, after a trial which lastel ] four weeks. Under the Sherman act. the judgment against the defendants will be tripled, to aggregate s3OO,. 0OC.
 The plaintiff has since 1910. oper- ated a mine at Jamestown, Johnson county, Arkansas, for nearly six years as an "open shop" eliminating in strike in the spring of 1915, unlonizing strikers, who for several months were taken care of in a tent colony near the mine.

A wagon load of records and dispositions, which it took nearly two years to gather all over the country and also oral testimony of over 250 witnesses were placed before the jury.

SUPREME COUNCIL
 WILL FIX AMOUNT GERMANS MUST PAY
Marked Difference Between French and British On
 This Point
FORMER FEEL SELVES
 GREATEST SUFFERERS
French Claim Germans Have Indi- cated They Will Do Nothing They Cannot be Compelled
 to Do

San Reno, April 21. Discussion o1
 what shall be asked of Germany an;
 how what is asked shall be exactel
 will be begun by the supreme coun. cil tomorrow. Tension between tht French and British delegations or this subject has been considerable
 The French are declared to feel deeply that they have been the great est sufferers from Germany's omis- sion to fulfill her treaty obligations that Germany's retention of war ma terial obligates France to remain armed and that the reduction in coal deliveries keep ali important frac- tion of French industries idle.
 They say that Germany in the la st nine months had indicated clearly to the French mind that she intends to do nothing she cannot be compelled to do, and that unless the allies sharply warn her and prepare to follow up the warning by force Ger many will default upon the essen- tlal clauses of the treaty, counting upon escaping any further penalties or upon revision of the treaty greatly disadvantageous to the French.
 The British position is that al though Germany has defaulted in several extremely important re- spects, and that she must be required to fulfill her obligations, she can be made to do so without further occupation of her territories and by severe economic restrictions. The British statesmen are understood to look askance on the French aims and feel that leadership among the al- lies is being disputed.
 San Reno. April 21.-The supreme council had dreary three-hours af- ternoon session over Turkish bond holders rights; then over boundaries but did not finish the treaty alto- gether. The news of Germany's re- quest to retain an army of 100000 reached San Reno first through the associated press dispatches and was discussed in an animated manner in conference circles. It is recalled that 100000 was Marshal Fochs orig lnal figure for the German army, but it was reduced to 100000 at the in- stance of Premier Lloyd George.
 The premiers decided to end the council on Saturday. Many questions will be left unsettled, but each pre- mier has internal problems at home demanding his attention That is the official explanation.

 On the rostrum was an American flag. Jones touched it constantly as he spoke. As Murphy began to speak he was greeted with cries of "Where's Grunau?' We want Cru nau" efforts to maintain order were futile. Some one called out "Tl,e meetings adjourned" and there was rush for the door.
 Half a dozen men leaped to the platform and attempted to address the meeting, but policemen cleared the hall.
 The railroads announced that 120 men returned to work today and that live stock receipts in Chicago and the movement of live stock and fresh meat to eastern points were normal. Eleven hundred cars of coal were re- ceived.
