Therelief of General Edwards from

Must Reconsider zap

Specifically, the communications
deal with the award to Japan by the
supreme council at Paris on May Z,
1919, of a mandate over the Island
of zap, an important cable center in
the Pacific Ocean, and Mr.. Hughes
says the American government
trusts that this action. which it
must assume was taken under a mis-
apprehension will be reconsidered."
The notes are the first important
communications penned by the new
secretary of state and they make it
plain that the change of administra-
in Washington had resulted in no
modification of the previous position
of the United States that as one of
the principal contributors to the COM
mon victory over Germany it must
insist upon the exercise of it's full
rights in the disposition of the for
mer German possessions.

Conference Arranged

The first meeting of the govern
ment with the miners and mine own
ers had been set for IL o'clock to-
morrow morning at the Board and
meantime all questions of action by
the railwaymen and transport work
ers, who. together with the miners
from the triple alliance, had been
Temporarily suspended.
Then the prime minister made the
announcement in the House of Com
mons that the miners federation had
informed him that il was unable to
see it's way clear to instruct the pump
men to resume work during the nego-
tiations. MI. Lloyd George added
that the negotiations could not pro-
coed unless this obstacle was over
come.
Whether the hitch is as serious as
appeared from the premier's statement,
is not quite certain. Frank Hodges,
one of the leaders of the miners. re-
ferring to the matter tonight, said
he did not regard as hopeless the
question of negotiations. Another ia
vorable indication is that the premier
has written to the miners executive
asking them to meet him early to-
morrow morning at his Downing
street residence.
Mr. Hodges, who was seen before
this request was known. expressed
the opinion that such a condition as
requiring the pump men to resume
quite unnecessary and ought not to
be bar to negotiations. He added
that the miners executive would
meet at 10 O'Clock inthe morning. 10
consider the situation, and strong
hopes arc expressed that these pre-
liminary discussions may enable the
board of trade meeting to proceed as
fixed.
The general feeling is that the trou-
BILE about pumping is due to suspi-
cions harbored by both sides, but
that it is not serious enough to prove
a permanent obstruction to negotia-
tons. There is no cessation Of the
precautionary measures taken by the
government however, or by the min
ers, transport workers and other la
Dor bodies to be prepared for all
emergencies.
In the event of alb reakdown in ne
gotiations it is understood that the
executive board of the national CO.
operative societies has agreed to OK
tend credits to the striking miners or
other workers whose trade unions
find their funds heavily burdened by
strike payments. All attempts by the
strikers to draw unemployment benz
fits have been firmly resisted.

Text of Note

Washington, April 6-The text of
the note to Great Britain, which is
similar to that to France and Italy
follows;
with respect to the mandate to
Japan, purporting to have been con-
firmed and defined in it's terms by
the supreme council of the League of
Nations, of the German possessions
in the Pacific Ocean, lying north of
the Equator this government deems
it appropriate to state the fundamen-
tai basis of it's representations and
the principles which in it's view, are
determinative.
ut will not be questioned that the
right to dispose of the overseas pos
sessions of Germany was acquired
only through the victory of the allied
and associated powers, and it is also
believed that there is no disposition
on the part of the British govern
ment to deny the participation of the
United States in that victory. It would
seem to follow necessarily that the
.. right accruing to the Allied and asso-
! ciated powers through the common
victory is shared by the United States
and that there could be no valid or
effective disposition of the overseas
| possessions of Germany, now under
consideration without the assent of
the United States.
This government, must therefore,
point out that as the United States
has never vested either the supreme
council or the League of Nations with
any authority to bind the United
States or to act on it's behalf, there
has been no opportunity for any de-
cision which could be deemed to at
feet the rights of the United States.
1t may also be observed that the
right accruing to the United States
through the victory in which it has
participated could not be regarded as
in any way coded or surrendered to
Japan, or to other nations, except by
| treaty, and that no such treaty has
been made.
THE fact that the United States has
not ratified the treaty of Versailles
cannot detract from rights which the
| United States had already acquired

FEAR OF WILLIAMS
Forced NEGRO TO
KILL II OF own RACE

Covington, Ga, April 6.-Fear for
his own life was the motive that
prompted Clyde Manning, negro farm
boss, to help kill j. negroes, farm
hands employed on the Jasper coun-
ty plantation of John $. Williams, the
negro told the jury today in the trial
of Williams in Newton county SUI
perior court here. Manning assert
ed on cross examination he did not
want to help kill them but was afraid
to disobey Williams, who, he declar-
&c, was trying to do away with the
negroes for fear they might testify
regarding alleged peonage conditions
on the Williams farm.
They wasn't bothering me-" said
Manning, coal black, short stockily
built man of about $50 pounds, and
l didn't want to get EN- out of the
way" but he added, later Mr.. John
ny said Its their necks or yours 4"
The negroes met death shortly af-
ter Federal authorities started an in
vestiSation of alleged peOnaSe on the
farm, six of them, according to
Manning, being chained to rocks and
thrown alive into rivers, and five
knocked in the head or shot and bur
led on the farm.
Williams is on trial charged with
the murder of Lindsey Paterson, one
of the three negroes alleged to have
been brought to Newton county and
drowned.
The state was expected to conclude
it's case tomorrow. The defense in
dictated it would conclude its testi-
mony in about one day and that the
case should go to the jury Saturday.

ALL DIRECTION
Of SOLDIER RELIEF
'''"rR ONE HEAD


ton undo lead of all government
bureaus dealing with ex-soldier relief
to function directly for the president
will be the chief recommendation made
to President Harding by the special
commission which concluded its in
uuiry into government relief work here
today. Charles G.. Dawes of Chicago
chairman of the commission. an
nounced tonight that actual drafting
of the report to be submitted to the
president would begin tomorrow in eN-
ecutive session.
The new bureau will be known prob
ably as the veterans rehabilitation
administration Although half
dozen names have been suggested. its
head will be selected by President
Harding from among the most able
men possessing a knowledge of all eX-
service mems problems.
An analysis of the testimony taken
during the two days inquiry was be-
fore the members tonight for study so
that when they meet tomorrow they
will be prepared to put their ideas in
the form of report to the president.
Commission members were agreed
today that the crux of the problem
centered in the phrase veteran reha-
bilitation."
While it was a simple problem, they
said, it naturally was divided into
three needs which must be fulfilled for
the ex-soldiers by the government
They were, first. those of physical
nature: second, those of finance; and
third. those dealing with Industrial
phases.
Heretofore these problems have been
delegated to three separate organiza-
lions, the public health service for
medical treatment, the bureau of war
risk insurance for financial support,
and the board of vocational education
for industrial rehabilitation.
These organizations will be grouped,
according to the commissions decision,
under a central authority, eliminating
duplication and conflict among the eX-
listing agencies, which, it was said.
had resulted in men being transferred
from one jurisdiction to another and
left often during transfer without
physical, financial or Industrial bene-
fits.
The commissions findings, it was
said, will show serious conditions with
reference to shortage of hospital facil-
tiles, especially as affecting tubercular
and mental cases. This condition will
be cited to illustrate the need for new
hospitals, for which an appropriation
will probably be asked of Congress.
New legislation will be asked by
the commission in it's reports to ac-
complish consolidation of the existing
bureaus and decentralization of the
field service so that those in need may
apply to relief stations and boards in
their home districts rather than to
Washington or other more distant bu-
reaus.
Commander Galbraith of the Ameri-
can Legion pledged the Legion's sup
port to the central bureau, as did the
chiefs of all the government bureaus
affected and officers of the Red Cross.

to sign the commissions report.
