= dwelt the outlawed Doones, wilt
huge and brutal, defed king and COM
mon, committed brazen robberies with
IMMUNITY, and took refuge after every
outrage in the well-nigh impregnable
Glen Doone. On the nearby farm Of
Flowers BarrOws dwelt John Rid, a
great limbed lad who had been sum-
moned home from boarding school in
his teens to learn that his father, a
wealthy farmer, had been slain in
night raid by the Doones. John, blunt
and honest, was kind to his mother
and his two sisters, did his share of
the farm work, and, as he grew to
manhood, learned to ride a horse and
shoot a blunderbuss with unfailing
skill.
One day. while yet boy, his fishing
excursions in Bagworthy water led
him to discover an entrance to Glen
Doone, so secret, so remote that the
robber band stationed no guard there,
never dreaming that living soul would
discover it. Following little cascade,
John emerged at last into dell bloom
ing with primroses and beheld with
amazement a beautiful child Of eight
with hair like black shower and eyes
full Of pity and wonder. Her name
(pretty, like herself was Lorna Doone
and John often had her in his thoughts
through the six years which followed.
He was twenty then and Lorna four
teen, and already John Ridd knew that
he loved her, that fate had decreed 1t

fully tested, it is a matter OF his

URGES NEW LAWS
IN LABOR DISPUTES
Secretary Davis Would Have
Sides Confer Before Start.
ing Any Strike.

The present law creating the .divi.
sion of conciliation Of the Department
of Labor should be amended to have
teeth" in it. Secretary of Labor
Davis said today. He said there was
at present no project to amend the
law. but that in his opinion there
should be some means of compelling
both sides to labor disputes to live
up to the terms of an agreement
after it had been reached with repre-
sentatives of the Department OF
Labor.
At the same time the Labor SECRETARY
said he believed there should be Soml
arrangement by which both sides to
labor dispute should he compelled
to meet and discuss the matters al
issue before the actual beginning of a
strike. By this, he said, he did not
mean compulsory arbitration. as the
result of the conference preceding the
strike might or might not cause the
strike to be abandoned. Such con.
ferenceS between representatives OF
the two sides to labor dispute. in
of the Department of Labor might sit
would lead to postponement or can
collation. of many minor labor
troubles. he said.
Under the present law the Depart
ment of Labor has nothing to hang
over the head of either side in labor
disputes. the Secretary said, and only
public opinion makes either side live
up to agreements into which they
enter. He said If either the packers
or their employees wish to break the
agreement recently entered into at
the instance of himself there was no
law to prevent it.
The industrial situation throughout
the country is quite good, Mr.. Davis
said. Unemployment is increasing, he
said, but labor has Just passed
through a period Of high wages and
the average workman has saved
enough from those high wages to tide
him over the present crisis. Those
who did not save find themselves hard
pressed" the Labor Secretary said,
adding that this number would not
approximate probably more than 2
per cent of the workmen of the coun-
try.

DEATH sTIRs BERLIN.
Ex-Emperor and Son May Be Bar

BY GEORGE wITTE. =

Copyright, 1921. =
BERLIN: Germany. April 11.-The
funeral of the former kaiserin at
Potsdam may result in political COM
plications even more serious than
the sudden appearance'of ex-Emperor
Charles in Hungary.
The question of whether the ex-
kaiser and ex-crown prince shall be
permitted to attend has not been def
nitely decided, but the foreign office
announces that it will advise the ex-
lied members of the Hohenzollern fam
lily not to- return to Germany, as the
feeling of the majority of the people
Is too bitter to enable the government
to guarantee their good BEHAVIOR
Friends of the former crown prince
are quite certain that he will disregard
this advice and appear at the funeral
Few persons, however, believe that the
ex-kaiser will leave Doom for Ger
many at the risk of Hollands taking
the' same attitude in his case as
Switzerland did in that Of Charles, and
oppose his coming back.
Right wing newspapers are issuing
extras announcing the death of Au-
guSta Victoria, and scores of houses
are flying the old German colors at
half staff. The royalists are planning
to make the funeral the most imposing
Germany has seen in many decades.

DISCUSSED IN TOXIC
Opinion Held That Reply Vir-
tuaIIy Implies Another
Peace Conference.
By the Associated Press.


TOXIC. April 11.-Newspapers Of this
city have given great prominence to
the note from Charles E. Hughes,
American Secretary Of State, to the
allies relative to the subject of man.
dates in general and that over the is
land of Yap in particular There has
been no official comment. but in re-
sponsible unofficial circles the opinion is
held that the American note virtually
implies another peace conference.
Statements made by Vice Admiral
Tomosaburo kato. minister of marine,
last month relative to the japanese
naval policy are regarded here as in
tended to answer charges that Japan
is incurably militaristic and is insisting
upon naval expansion. These state
ments. which were made to the Asso-
ciated Press. are also looked upon as
paving the way for an international
discussion of naval policies. Repre-
sentative Japanese declare that il the
naval race between Great Britain and
must be obliged eventually to drop out
because of financial considerations. II
the other powers refuse to curtail their
naval programs and decline to discuss
the matter, the government is liable
to lose the support of the nation. which
Lectures on Disarmament.
Yukio OZaki. former minister OF
justice. and one of the leaders in the
movement for a curtailment Of naval
expenditures. delivered lectures to
great crowds in fifteen cities recently
during a tour of the country, which
was undertaken to explain his stand
on disarmament. At the conclusion
Of each lecture he called upon his
auditors to express their views and
he announces that SO per cent Of the
people who heard him have voted in
favor Of armament reductions.
Publishing Vice Admiral Kato' 6
statements to the Associated Press,
the newspaper Nichi Nichi Shimbun
Of this city quoted naval officials as
saying that the minister Of marine
clearly explained Japan's position.
They were of the opinion that Presi-
dent Harding would call a naval
conference, but emphasized the fact
that the real difficulty would come in
finding a, formula for carrying out a
reduction of naval programs.
The Yomi-Uri Shimbun of this city
declares it is convinced that NJ Kato
consulted the cabinet before making
his statements, and therefore they
can be interpreted as embodying the
intentions of the government. The
newspaper says that, considering the
minister's insiStence before the diet
upon his project for an eight-battle-
ship eight battle cruiser project, his
new declaration was surprisingly in
consistent and liable to confuse peo-
pie as to it's real significance.
