Germany to Subdue
 SGditiOuS Elements
Government Has Proclaimed Its Intention of Dealing With Iron Hand Attempts to Subvert Order.

Berlin, Aug 2s-(By the A. P.)Fol- lowing meeting of the German cabinet today President Ebert issued a decree prohibiting meetings. processions, dem onstrations and the publication of per iodicals and pamphlets likely to encour- age seditious movements.
 The government has proclaimed it's intention to suppress with an iron hand and unrelenting severity all isurrections CT attempts to subvert public order
 The proclamation admits that the gov- ernment has become gravely concerned owing to the disintegration of public morals in Germany, which fact, it de- clares. threatens to undermine the foun- dations of the state and empire"
 Tn a time when the nations vitality should be devoted to repairing the moral, social and economic injuries inflicted by war" the proclamation says, ''unbridled agitation. is openly attempting to under mine the political and. constitutional foundations on which the new German republic is to be erected.
 The tenor of the press which is fur thering these malicious endg~>yors daily is becoming more plainspoken and re- veals fixed plan by upscrupulous ele- ments who ar eaiding in the overthrow of constitutional law and order Ma tional emergencies demand that these machinations of interruptions and mis- guided elements be opposed with an iron hand.
 The government therefore is deter mined to undertake that Which the cir cumstances of the hour and the provoca- ton of the foes of the constitution make imperative. The government will proceed with unrelenting severity against any and every instruction, and it calls upon all organs of law and order to carry out the provisions of this decree firmly but impartially.''

Dublin, Aug. 29-(By the A. P)-The republican ministers were bus,l today consulting together and slso with their supporters concerning the Irish situation but Il was officially announced at six CLOCK this evening that no reply 10 the latest communication of Premier Lloyd George would be sent to London tonight.
 Officials at Dublin Castle and other persons interested in the success of the peace nego otiations seemed unperturbed tonight over the delay in replying to AIr. Lloyd George. It was admitted at the Castle which generally has received early news of any decisions the Dali Eireann IS to make, that it was not known what the latest reply of Mir. De Valera and his followers would be. Optimism, how ever. prevailed at the Castle and like wise among a large section of the pub
 lie.
 It is considered probable that the re- ply drafted by the cabinet may be all tered to some extent on the advice of persons outside the Dali Eireann. It has been alleged that MT. De Valera s previous letter 10 the premier was toned down before it was sent to London.
 The report that Michael Collins the Sim Fein minister of finance intends to speak in Armagh net Sunday is con- sidered here as an indication that the Sim Fein intends to carry the battle
 for a united Ireland into the enemy s country. It was said tonight that if Mir. Collins achieved any success. Es-
 mon De Valera and Arthur Griffith. whC also represent Ulster constituents in the northern parliament. may follow the suit
 of Mir. Collins. The move of Mir. Collins | is considered here 10 be a dangerous
 one. the belief prevailing that his visi
 to Ulster may be resented by the Ulster ] ties and lead to trouble

Charleston. W. Va, Aug. 2s-While almost 100 officers an men of the West Virginia state police and somE 25O dep uty sheriffs kept watch on the mountain ridges near the Logan Boone county bor- der tonight, efforts were still being made by county and state officers to ascer- tain the number of casualties suffered by party of armed men in the brush on Beach Creek early Sunday.
 No official statement was made by Governor Morgan's office but from the Kanawha Coal Operators Association came the news that three of the dead had been identified as William L. Greer, of Matewan, Cecel Clark and W. M. Morrison of Sharples a little town near the scene of the encounter.
 A. R. Yarbough, traffic manager of the coal operators said the men were employed by the Boone C0unty Coal Corporation and that Greer was one of the men evicted from a house of the Stone Mountain Coal Corporation on the day of the Matewan battle last year. His body, Yarbough stated had been sent to Matewan, while the bodies of the other two were sent ta Sharples.
