300 DEPUTIES AND ARMED MEN BATTLE
 IN VIRGINIA TOWN

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Aug. 25.- Reports of a gun battle today be- tween Logan county deputy sheriffs, said to number 300, and a large body of armed men at Blair, w. Va, were received here tonight. Efforts to confirm these reports through Sher- if Dan Chain of Logan county, who was reached by long distance tele- phone, were unsuccessful. When asked by an Associated Press cor respondent whether there had been fighting at Blair today, his reply was
 T cannot say anything about it: we are not giving out any informa- tion.~
 He then hung up the receiver.
 Reports from Racine tonight were that the several thousand marchers who left Marmet shortly after last midnight, avowedly bound for Mingo county to protest martial law in rorce there, still were encamped alongside Indian creek just outside the town. These reports have given rise to the belief here that the Mar met marchers had no part In the re- ported Blair engagement. Blair is 20 mile southwest of Racine, and in order for the marchers to reach there they would have had to pass through Madison. Several residents of Madison reported tonight by long

distance telephone that none had passed through that town today.
 Prosecuting Attorney H. W. B. Mullins of Boone county, who resides at Madison, reported to Charleston by telephone early tonight that he had been advised by passengers on Chesapeake & Ohio passenger train from Blair that three hundred depu- ties of Logan county were fighting a large body of armed men when the. train left that place. Mullins added that the inhabitants of Blair were preparing to flee when the train left.
 Blair is a mining town close to the Boone county line. It is said to be one of the few mining towns in the Logan field organized by the United Mine Workers of America. C. +. Keeney, district president. of the miners, tonight said that the presi- dent of the Blair local union had reported to him early this week that the men were prepared for trouble" and had dug trenches in the sur rounding hills to protect themselves from possible attack"
 United Mine Workers officials, commenting on the reported fight said if there had been an engage ment 1t was local and not connected with the Marmet situation nor en- gagged in by men from the Marmet camp.

Simplicity Marks
 Signing Of Treaty
 By Berlin Agents
TRepubIican A. p. Leased WIreI

BERLIN, Aug. 25.-Pomp and ora- tory played no part in today's sign ing of the peace treaty. Simplicity surrounded the ceremony, which con stunned less than Is minutes. MT. Dresel was accompanied by three aides, Counsellor Wilson and Secre- taries Pennoyer and Amory. while Under Foreign Secretary Haniel von Haimhausen and three foreign office department chiefs mace Up Herr Ro- sens retinue. All stood about as the signatures and seals were affixed.
 American newspape- men who were in the corridor were not permitted to witness the signing. Afterward Mir. Dresel said:
 The Germans wanted the treaty consummated with as little pomp and ceremony as possible. and this was perfectly agreeable to us."
 When the plenipotentiaries had signed the document they exchanged a few chosen phrases of obvious inn port and the American commissioner and his aides ebowed their way out of the foreign minister's office There were two copies of ti.c treaty. one in English and fhe other in German. After the ceremony Mir. Dresel re- turned to his office, where he made public the official text of the treaty.
 An official communication issued this evening said the present treaty is the result of negotiations begun at the initiative of the United States commencing in July. and that in the course of the negotiations the Amer ican government was wholly bound to the congressional peace resolution.
 Mir. Dresel ha- conferred only with Herr Rosen during the past six weeks. Tonight he. declined to dis cuss the progress of the negotiations in any detail or to reveal whether there was any serious difference with the German foreign minister during the conferences. The Amer ican commissioner permitted the in ference that he got along comfortably with the officials in Welhelmstrasse He was frank to say he was glad the job was oyer and that the supplement tary commercial treaty and the dis position of complex economic issues awaiting adjustment were to be left to the Washington government and the new ambassador to the United States.
 The American commission as such is not entitled to fly the Stars and Stripes from its offices. despite the peace treaty. as it has not yet been converted into an embassy. Mir. Dresel expects to return to the United States as soon as he is re- lieved by a regular diplomat. He thinks. however. that it is not inn probable he will be retained in Berlin temporarily with the rank of charge d'affaires.
 Counsellor Wilson. who has been the chief aide of the commission for the Iast IS months, has been trans ferred to Tokio and will leave Berlin next Saturday.

 FL PASO, Tex, Aug. Mexicans who have been living on the Coipnia Diaz lands in Chihuahua since Nthe American Mormon owners were driven out in 1912, have refused to tusn over the properties to their owners, although ordered to do so by the Mexican government two weeks ago. This information was received here today by Mormon officials from Andrew c. Peterson oe Columbus, N. M., president of the Mormon colony. The Mexican "squattersr have threat ened to kill anyone who attempts to move upon the lands according to Mormon advices. This situation, il was said. was the basis for the recent speech in which Senator King of Utah urged the United States defer recognition of Mexico until the lat ter country restores private property to the rishtfuI owners. The Colonia Diax holdings are in the region where Bunk Spencer, foreman of the Ojitas ranch. ana Bennett Boyd, Americans. were killed Aug 13 by Mexican ban dits The properties comprise 100. 900 acres and were acquired in 1885 by the MormQns from the plax govern sment.
