German Socialists Denv
Responsibility for War
Majority Party, in Document,
Admits Having Left Fate
full Decision to Cray Mem

Copyright, 1920, New York Tribune Inc
BERLIN, July 25.-"Not guilty" is
the tenor Of the long document pub
lshed Saturday by the Majority So
cialists which will be submitted to
the international Socialist Conference
at Geneva, where they will ATTEMPT to
answer the accusation against them of
responsibility for the war. The Ma
jority Socialists viii admit in the docu
ment that eve did not combat in time
and with sufficient energy the system
in Germany which permitted irrespon-
sible persons to conduct the foreign
policy of Germany and left the fateful
decision in the hour of crisis to crazv
men, The document denounces the
imperialist aims embodied in the alli-
ance between France and Russia and
maintains that in view of the menace
embodied to Germany in the Russian
invasion the German Socialists had no
other alternative than to vote the war
credits.
The Independent Socialists and Com
munists here bitterly criticize this de-
fense. "The Kaiser's old Socialists are
unrepentant," is the comment of the
extreme group in the Reichstao

Except for two or three states where
the coal delivery must be accomplished
before the lakes become frozen, there is
no such thing as the storage of bituminous
coal. The production and delivery of coal
is a hand to mouth proceeding. No time is
lost for coal between the mine mouth and
the furnace that waits for it.
1t is quite as much your necessity to
have coal in your bin as it is ours to mine
it. The interest and the advantages are
mutual.
Just few days stoppage of all the mines
would find the railroads, which consume
one-third of the product, unable to move.
1t would find the industries of the country
at standstill. 1t would, if in the winter

The four coal fields named have,
heretofore, stood between the country and

afford future relief, if permitted to retain
their present attitude of Independence of
the United Mine Workers organization.
The Williamson Coal Operators Asso-
cation has not the means to carry on an
extensive advertising campaign, even if it
appeared advisable to do so.
We have, however, thought it proper to
issue warning to the public of the evil
consequences of probable mid-winter coal
shortage, to the end that the blame NAV be
lodged where it belongs.
There has never been any labor trouble
IN the twenty-five years experience of this
held. There is no trouble now between
the operators and the workmen. Wages are
higher here than in the surrounding union
fields. The majority of the workmen in
this and adjoining nOn-uniOn fplAc do 7,a+
want to be brought into the Mine Workers
union. Work is suspended because Of the
criminal menaces and threats and intimida-
tlons by the organizers and pickets. Manv
OF the workmen have petitoned the law
authorities for assurances of protection
that they might resume work
This in short, is the tale of the present
disturbance in the coal fields of Southern
West Virginia.
We are not soliciting sympathy. But
we want the coal-using public to know
the cause and the spirit of our fight. We
wish 1t understood that our stand against
the Invasion of the United Mine Workers
while made at great financial loss, is done
IN the interest of the permanent GOOD of
the public at large as we'll as of this coal
held. Our success in maintaining the in
dependence of our mines affords the onlv
reliance the people have against long and
disastrous stoppage of coal production at
times in the future

Arthur Woods Is chairman, to care for
the $4,000 ex-service men who are in
700 hospitals throughout the country
suffering from disabilities incurred in
the service. Bulletins have been is
sued to state chairmen asking them
to organize local Legion post commit
tees to cooperate with these hospitals,
both for the visiting Of the men in
the hospitals and for the care of them
after they have been discharged from
medical institutions. Discharges take
place at tho rate Of 100 day.
According to statement by Colonel
Woods full data concerning these war
wounded have been sent to the states
in which the hospitals are located and
to the states to which the men will go
after their discharge. Efforts will be
made to provide visitors for those men
who are confined to hospitals, so that
ity may be mitigated. The women's
auxiliary is expected to be of particu-
lar value in this part of the program.
To men who ere discharged indivd-
ual assistance will be given by mem
bers of the local Legion. Advice and
help as to obtaining work, assistance
in strengthening out any difficulties
they may have, with compensations, in
surance and other technical matt ars
will be given them. Through the sys-
tenn of interstate cooperation that has
been worked out, welcome will be as
sured for every man who leaves hos
pital in one state in order to live and
work in another state. Forty eight
state chairmen have been enlisted in
this effort to give the wounded soldier
square deal.
"If there is any one thing that all
members of the Legion are agreed on
moro than anything else it is that
wounded men should be generously
taken care Of" says Mr.. Woods.
at is the personal contact with the
man that counts. We must show him
that we are genuine friends. No one
has too many. And certainly no man
ever needs shove upwards more than
does a discharged, disabled, service
man who has to make up so much lost
time under such tremendous handicaps
know you will agree that this is a
challenge to service on our part which
we Of the Legion will ~. gnore."

On the Screen
"Crooked Streets'' Has Good
Chinese Atmosphere, but
Few Thrills

1t has not been through such photo
plays as that in which she is being
! starred at tho Rivoli that Ethel Clayton
has risen to her high place in the ranks
Of motion picture actresses. "Crooked
Streets" the Paramount picture in
which Jesse Lasky presents Miss Clay
ton, was winner as story, but in
picture form it loses much of it's
"punch" The star has no opportunity
to show her ability as an actress, al
though she is given few chances to
show her prettness.
The story dealing with the engage
ment Of the young woman by an
American dealer in antiques to make
trip to Shanghai with him and his fam
lily to act as secretary, promises real
thrills all the way through. But even
when she arrives in Shanghai and
crooked little byways of the city in
search of the place where her employer
obtains his antiques it just fails to re-
veal them.
There is ono we'll directed scere-
that in which Jack Holt, as Rupert
O'Dare, the British Secret Service man,
engages in a rough-and- fist
fight in a Chinese 'joint,' to deter
mine whether he or burly sailor,
drunk and set upon capturing the
heroine, shall take charge of her. 1t
develops later she is a Secret Service
agent from tho United States, who has
sought the job as secretary to the
antique collector in order to arrest
him for smuggling and dealing in
opium.
The atmosphere Of the setting is un-
usually real. The interior of the little
rooms in which the Chinese sell their
smuggled goods and opium are copied
to the last detail.
Chester comedy, entitled can
Overall Hero" showing a half dozen
monkeys performing, was one of the
most pleasing animal films shown in

Flrmin Swimmer. There was an over

Constance Talmadge in "The Perfect

may profit largely.

Fallon's Case up Tonight


Members of Captain Belvedere Brooks
Post, one of the largest and most active
in the city, will be asked tonight to
approve the action of the post execu-
tive committee in removing Francis NJ
Fallon, the post commander. ! What
their sentiment will be has not been
indicated in any way.
Fallon was removed recently, just
after issuing a statement in which he
championed the cause of DR.. John L.
Tildsley and demanded that Dr. Tilds-
ley be reelected an associate superin-
tendent of schools by the Board Of
Education. At that time Commander
Fallon made it clear that his action was
taken as an individual and not as the
post commander. He said he had not
yet had time to call a meeting of his
post to get its Endorsement of his
stand. However, he signed the state
ment as the commander of Captain
Belvedere Brooks Post, and for this
reason aroused the members of the eX-
ecutive committee, who believed the
Legion should take no part in the con-
troversy.
1t has been intimated that the exocu-
tive committee has other grievances
against Fallon which will be disc, :sed
tonight, and that the Tildsley inc dent
was but incidental in the vote to re
duce him to the ranks" The me ting
tonight will settle the question I yond
further debate. 1t is up to the nem-
bers of the post to approve or isap-
rove the action of its executive board.
