GERMANY MAKES APOLOGY
BY the Associated Press

Berlin, March s.-Following the
arrest yesterday f Prince Joachim
Albrecht, OF Prussia, cousin of the
exKaiser. for leading demonstration
against French officers here Saturday, a
similar incident is reported from
Bremen.
Meanwhile Germany has expressed re
gret to France for Saturdays demon
stration, which occurred at a dinner
party In the Hotel Adlon. The French
rapty was subjected to assault at the in =
stigation of Prince Joachim because its
members had failed to stand when the
Allies"
An official Of the foreign office paid
a call to the French embassy this morn
ing and expressed the regrets of Foreign
Minister Mueller for the incident.
Later the foreign minister visited NJ.
De Marcilly, the French charge, and
personally expressed his regrets. which
he begged the charge to transmit to the
government Of France. The Bremen in
cident was not referred TO in the apol-
ogy.
When high French officers, members
of the Entente military commission
entered the barracks in Bremen to ne :
gotiate with German officers, the sol {.

A large crowd of civilians, attracted by
the singing, handled the French roughly
when they left the barracks. Police dis
persed the crowd and escorted the com
missioners to their quarters. The affair
is being investigated.
Another incident Of similar nature at
Bremen Is reported by the Vossische
Zeitung. 1t says that yesterday two
French officers and an Italian officer
stopped man wearing a field gray uni
form, supposing him to belong to the
German army: The man failed to salute
mating in blows. A crowd assaulted the
Allied officers, who were considerably
injured. the newspaper adds, before
they were rescued by the police.
The interallied commission, the same
newspaper states, left Bremen Monday

The rush Of our modern life is largely

Doctor Tomkins spoke on Truth and

There should be universal recog

said Doctor Tomkins. Those who do
not believe in His kingship Doctor
Tomkins characterized as "ribalds, "
whom all should make an effort TO bring

HARD COAL MINERS
MEET OPERATORS
Confer on Demand of 60 Per
Cent Wage Increase and
Five-Day Week
BlTUMINOUS MEN WARN
BITUMIN0US MEN WARN
BY the Associated Press

New York, March 0.-Anthracite
miners and operators of Pennsylvania
met here today and opened negotiations
for new wage agreement to become ef-
fective March 81, when the present
four-y year contract expires.
Demands made by the workers are
somewhat similar to those proposed by
the soft coal miners last fall. These
demands. which were formulated at q
convention of anthracite miners at
Wilkes Barre, Pa, last summer and
ratified by the United Mine Workers
in September, call for go per cent in =
crease in wages for contract miners, an
advance Of SO day for men paid by the
day; a six hour day and n FIVE day
week for all classes of inside and out
side labor and monthly men coming
under the proposed agreement.
The miners also are asking a two
year agreement, a closed shop, uniform
wage scale for like occupations, that
coal produced shall be paid for on the
legal ton basis wherever practicable and
that the employers compensate the
workers for the loss of tools as a result
Of accidents.
The conference opened with the best
of feeling prevailing, it was said. The
anthracite miners worked steadily
through the war and during the critical
period Of last fall, when the bituminous
men were on strike, but whether there
will be a suspension of hard coal pro
duction beginning April 1 If new
agreement has not been reached by that
time is still an open question.
Indianapolis Ind, March 9.-(By A.
P.)-The United Mine Workers OF
America will refuse to accept the find
ings of the bituminous coal commission
unless substantial increase in wages
and improved working conditions are
provided, it was inferred in a statement
issued today from headquarters of the
organization, which said unless set
tlement is made on such basis, tn,
miners will not feel that full justice
has been done them" The statemen,
adds:
There has been steady increase In
the cost Of living since the first of thi,
year, in spite of the fact that the gov
ernment represented to labor last sum
mer that living costs would be reduced
and that the government would see to il
that this was done. Further promise!
of. reductions in the cost of living woult
fall on deaf ears, as far as the Goa
miners are concerned, because they hav,
had their experience with such promises
in the past, all Of which have gone un

MODIFIED ARTICLE X
DRAFT GAINS FAVOR

Washington. March Ga modified
draft of the Republican Article y res
ervation to the peace treaty Is under
stood to have been asscnted to today bv
a number of Republican leaders work
ing with the Democrats for a ratitica
tion compromise.
The new reservation was said to fol D..
low in general the outline Of the original
Republican proposal adopted last No.
vember, but to contain a number OF
changes in wording agreed TO at the
suggestion of Democrats.
Republican senators who helped work
cut the modification ia the compromise
negotiations seemed confident that the
new reservation would have the an
proval of Senator Lodge, the Republi =
can leader, and even expressed hope
that he himself might offer it in the
Senate. 1t is understood, however, that
the Democratic leader, Senator Hitch
cock, had not given his assent to it,
Democratic senators were slow in
promising their support, while they
weighed the meaning of the letter writ
ten to Senator Hitchcock yesterday by
President Wilson, reiterating his oppo =
sition 10 any reservation which would
impair "the full force" of Article y
Some leaders predicted, however, that
before the day was over it might bt
possible to tell definitely whether the
compromise negotiations were to sue
ceed.
The changes in the reservation are
understood to have grown out Of thc
compromise movement conducted by
senator Watson, of Indiana, for the
Republicans. and Senator Simmons, OF
North Carolina, for the Democrats. II
was said, however, that Senator Sim
mons had not finally accepted the new
draft. and those in close touch with the
nexotiations were DOT very confident OF
