Hiding i'm Paris Underground
From Sergeant Bender.

Washington. April - Continuing
his defense of his administration of
the Paris District, Brigadier General
Harts told the House Investigating
Committee today that charges of
cruelty at the Military Prison might
often be exaggerated by men endeav-
oring TO excupate themselves. The
prisoners were never satisfied and al
ways distorted the truth, he said.
Thirty cases of desertion in the face of
the enemy occurred in the Twenty

many men in Paris were skulkers who

REGAIN
BRITISH FAVOR
Relations Between Two Powers
Brighter and French Will
Accept British View.
WILL DEFEND HER RIGHTS
Japs Acquiesce i'm French Move
and 1t Is Believed Crisis in
Situation Is Past.

London. April t2.-An authoritative
statement issued tonight indicates that
the Franco British situation is even
more favorable than presented by An
drew Bonar Law, the government
spokesman. in the house of commons
today The statement intimates that a
French note is expected accepting the
British view and agreeing to evacuate
the occupied towns rapidly on with
drawal of German troops from Ruhr
which has already commenced.
Paris, April i2-The Earl of Derby.
British minister to France, delivered to
Premier Millerand at o'clock this af
ternoon the British reply to the French
premier's note of last evening. NJ. Mil
lerand refused to discuss the contents
of the note with the newspaper cor
respondents.
Nothing has as yet been decided as
to Premier Millerand's attendance at
the supreme council meeting at San
Reno, and it was declared today in a
reliable source that if the conference
there was to discuss the misunder-
standing between France and Great
Britain he would not go at all.
A personal talk on the subject with
Premier Lloyd George would be well
coined by the French premier if Mr..
Lloyd George could find it convenient
to come to Paris, but it is considered
in official circles that as the point at
issue interests France and Great Brit
lar only il is needless to discuss 1t be-
fore the Representatives Of the other
powers.
1t is held here that the British gov
ernment in persisting in the discussion
has put the matter in a form where it
is difficult to see what satisfaction it
is possible to give. France has not
been asked to evacuate Frankfort and
the impression is gaining ground, it was
indicated that what is sought above all
is to discipline France.
The Earl of Derby, Great Britain's
ambassador to France, attended the
council of ambassadors here today.
The Hungarian treaty was the sole mat
ter under discussion.
Premier Millerand's reply to the lat
est British note has not yet been made
public, but it is declared to make no
material change in the situation. 1t
expressed regret that there has been
occasion for any controversy, but it
points out that if France acted alone
in her occupation move east of the
Rhine ii was because She was left alone
in the face of a situation which re-
quired prompt action. The IGte as
sures Great Britain that France is de-
termined to remain faithful to the al
lance but it intimates that the govern
ment cannot promise to abstain from
defending the interests confided to it
when its action is not contrary to the
objects of that alliance.
The foreign office has not received
any further replies from the powers to
its notice Of the occupation of Frank
fort. but it is learned that Baron Ma
tusi, the Japanese ambassador, has I'M
officially stated that Japan has no OBJ
lection to the action OF France.

PALMER AWAITS
FIELD REPORT
Says Government Will Not Shirk
Its Duty in Handling Illegal
Railroad Strike.
/. w. w. BELIEVED ACTIVE
If Organization Is Responsible
For Unrest Criminal Stat
utes Will Be Invoked.

Washington, April 12.-Determina-
tion of the governments course in the
railroad strike crisis tonight awaited
further information from field agents
of the department of justice. Attor-
ney General Palmer after numerous
conferences said decision might be
reached tomorrow, adding that the
government would not shirk it's re-
sponsibility.
Meanwhile it was officially an
nounced at the White House that
President Wilson would send to the
senate tomorrow the names of nine
members of the railway labor board
created by the transportation act
The nominations were delayed by
the time taken in selecting represen-
tatives of the public on the board 70
insure getting the right men for the
place. The men selected for the public
group had not signified their willing
ness to act, it was said.
Trainers of the transportation act
were firm in the opinion that the labor
board would prove an effective agency
to deal with the present crisis and for
that reason the senate interstate COM
merce committee deferred action on
proposals for a congressional investi-
cation of the strike.
Many official reports from strike
centers indicated activity of industrial
workers of the world in connection
with the railroad sitf1iion and Off
cials sas,i ;af e-ee1 proeosed ie deter
mine definitely whether this was true.
Officials said not only would legal
action be taken if it was proved that
/. w. w. or other organizations were
causing the unrest, but steps would
also be taken TO prevent the extension
of unrest to other industries. 1t was
indicated the department of justice
might employ the criminal statutes
if it decided on legal proceedings
against the strikers. but it was con-
sidering ways of aiding communities
that might be cut off by the strike.
