A strengthening of the bonds of friend
ship which unite America and Great
Britain was urged by Vice-Admiral
Albert p. Niblack, U. s. N, at luncheon
given in his honor by the Pilgrims here
to-day Admiral ,Niblick is leaving Lon
don aboard his flagship, the Pittsburg.
for the Mediterranean, where he goes to
take command of the American naval
forces operating in European waters.
Aside from declaring for the strongest
ties of friendship between the United
States and Great Britain, he spoke or
naval competition and trade rivalry pe-
tween the two countries.
II consider it at this moment of vital
interest that the bonds which unite the
two countries ought to be strengthened"
he said "There must be greater mutual
confidence, more give and take. and
more cobwebs and moss must be re-
moved from the popular conception
which our two peoples have of each
other. 1t Is inevitable that England and
America should be rivals in foreign mar
kets, and the future of Angio-American
relations must depend on the spirit in
which both sides face this competition as
a sporting proposition.
1.-THE war made us look abroad, but
even now, when the American people
shrink from entanglements in Europe.
they have definitely made up their
mind they are going to take their place
as a maritime people. l am sure the
world will recognize the necessity
which compels US to look abroad and
that ii will not view with suspicion our
present activities. which seek to sal
wage from the output for war such
shipping as is required by economic
considerations. We simply ask to be
allowed to help and that meanwhile we
be respected for our good intentions
and treated fairly and justly"
Admiral Niblack declared strongly
against naval competition between the
United States and England. He said
he thought he understood the sentiment
in America regarding armament and
that in Washington he had talked with
Mr.. Harding, then a Senator.
II am opposed to a great programme
of capital ships" he continued, because
1 am opposed to anything which will
bring about a shipbuilding competition
between our two countries. ] believe it
Is our business to oppose such competi-
ton"
Admiral Niblack paid a tribute to
Anglo-Saxon ideals. saying: Personally
think that in the maritime develop
ment of America there is no better guar
antee of the freedom of the seas. of the
rights of small nations and of the bal
ance of power in the world than the
maintenance Of Anglo-Saxon ideals"
He declared it was natural that
America should share with England and
other countries the worlds sea borne
trade" He expressed regret that sus-
picion and distrust existed anywhere in
either country against one another
Other speakers were Lord Desborough.

that economic alliance by the three Eu-
ropean governments along the lines in
dicated might seriously damage the for
eign commerce of the United States.
State Department officials were In
clined to minimize the suggestion or
discrimination against the United States
either politically or economically and
they pointed out that the agreement out
lined was evidently but tentative. There
was. however, in general an undercur-
rent that weighed the proposals and
found them significant, coming as they
do coincident with the conviction that
European Powers We're not taking kindly
to the suggestion of new association of
nations as a substitute for the League
of Nations. upon which the Harding Ad-
ministration has sent out feelers.
Foreign trade experts Of the Govern
ment are inclined to the view on first
blush that trade alliance between Ger
many and France founded on payment
of reparations through shipment of
goods would aid rather than impede
American foreign trade. This is true,
it is said. for many reasons, among
them:
/. The more manufactures Germany
turns out for French consumption the
greater demand she will make upon the
United States for raw materials
2. Our principal exports to Germany
in the past have been "breadstuffs" and
raw materials for use in manufacture
or partially manufactured goods for
further manufacturing.
8. Germany under such an arrange
ment would need these goods in increas-
ing quantities,
4. France would have available for
export to us German manufactures that
were needed, and the flow Of this trade
would bring a compensatinG measure or
American goods to France that could
not be supplied by Germany.
An economic alliance between Ger
many and France would, it is believed
here, make strong combination. and
the entrance of Great Britain into
tripartite economic arrangement of this
sort would create a world trade situa
ton of which the United States might
well stand in dread. Such an arrange
ment. it was declared. would mean an
alliance of the three greatest commercial
rivals of the United States into close
corporation with worldwide facilities
for manufacturing, for marketing and
for credit, with great transportation
lines and the greatest sources of raw
material, outside of the United States
and Russia alone.

The proclamation causes surprise, as,

LONDON, April 22-The coal sit uation has taken another promising turn in consequence of Premier Lloyd Georges action on the calling of a fresh barley and the fact that the conference of miners delegates, the largest in the history of the federa- tion. representing a membership of narly one million men, today voted continued confidence in Frank Hoges, secretary of the miners union-
 After the conference which the premier had today with the mine owners and the miners leaders. it was learned that facts were intro duced which it was considered would again be the subject of discussion at a meeting on Monday. The posi- ton was considered so hopeful that Mir Lloyd George. who previously had intended to remain in London over night, started immediately for Lympne to meet Premier Briand of France tomorrow.
 The premier today appealed to both sides to come together and inveSti- gate the wage question. It was ar ranged that the coal owners prepare for submission of papers on Monday showing in greater detail the effect  CTS wages and their own profits.
 This is considered an important point, it having been maintained by the miners that figures hitherto ad- vanced by the owners to prove the industry was unable to stand high CT wage scale than that they had of- fered were misleading and that in any case it was unfair to base a per- manent wage scale upon period ot abnormal depression in the industry.
 Unofficial and unconfirmed reports were current tonight that the gov ernment is disposed to agree to a sort of national wage pool as dis tinct from profits pool and is strong ly urging the owners to make bet ter wage offer. Although the min CTS are firm on the demand for a national pool the fact that they have not withdrawn their confidence in Mir Hodges leaves the hope that a com promise settlement IS possible.

Democratic Senators Oppose Nomination Of Major General EdWQrdS
IRepublican A. P. Leased wire1


 WASHINGTON, April 22.-Strong opposition on the part of Democrats was voiced at meeting of the senate military committee today to con firmarion of the nomination of Brig Gen. Clarence R. Edwards, first com mander overseas of the Twenty sixth (New England national guard) diyi- sion, to be major general.
 The subject was discussed at a conference with Secretary Weeks who urged confirmation of the off cers recently nominated by President Harding to be brigadier and major generals.
 The opposition to promotion of General Edwards was said to have been based upon his military record although Secretary Weeks said the war department files contained no unfavorable evidence in connection with his release from the command of the division some time before the armistice. A more complete investi- gation of the records, it was said. was suggested, however, and the sec retary was requested to supplement information given the committee to- day at a meeting tomorrow. Mean while action on all the nominations was deferred
 General Edwards name headed the list of major generals nominated by President Harding, although the last administration had refused to rec ommend him for promotion.
 MT. Weeks informed the commit tee, it was reported, that he did not plan to name a chief of staff or rec ommend other promotions to the rank of brigadier until the senate acts on the list of 12 major and 14 brigadier generals now pending.

 BOSTON, Mass, April 22.-Nor- malcy in business awaits a new at titude of man toward his job, James B. Alexander, president of the Ma tional Bank of Commerce of New ' York, said in an address tonight at the annual banquet of the National Association of Cotton Manufacturers. Correction of the business and social confusion of the times must be sought, he said, not only in banking and business adjustments, but more particularly in the human element.
 Already substantial progress has been made toward a return to sound CT conditions" according to the speaker. but the time has not yet come for a relaxation of caution. The weight of chance is against spec ulative undertakings
 Conditions in the rural districts of the South were described as worse than in the days of slavery by David R. Crocker, a South Carolina cotton grower
 The average farm laborer in the South received just enough to keep body and soul together" he said 'The return to the small growers and laborers is not enough to keep them in a decent state of civilization. The present price paid for cotton in the SoNth is only a little more than one half the cost of production"

 Germany is absolutely pursuaded that it is unavoid ably necessary for the purpose of restoring economic peace throughout the world that the territories devas tated through the should be reconstructed and stored.

DAVID HILL AND. HENRY |. WILSON
 MAY RETURN II CONSULAR POSTS
TRepubIican A. P. Leased WireJ


 WASHINGTON, April 22. = Recall to the diplomatic corps of Dr. David Jayne Hill of New York and Henry Lane Wilson of Indiana, both of whom served as ambassadors under the last Republican administration is understood to be under serious con- sideration by President Harding.
 Dr. Hill, who was American envoy to Germany under both Presidents Roosevelt and Taft. is said to be fore most in the presidents mind for the mbassadorship to Japan, while MT. Wilson, a former ambassador to Mexi-l co, may go either to Rome or Con- Stantinople.
 Although in no case has the selec- ton reached a point warranting a definite announcement, MT. Harding is understood to be approaching a de- eision regarding these and several other important appointments to the diplomatic service. The nominations of two or three ambassadors and a like number of ministers may go to the senate next week.
 Both pr. Hill and MT. Wilson have had long diplomatic experience, consideration which weighed strong ly in their favor when the president, shortly after his inauguration, asked the state department to prepare summary or the records or all aSp1- rants for diplomatic posts. In addi- tion, both men are said to be accept able to the present department of 1 ficials as well as to MT. Harding's political advisers.
 1 Dr. Hill, a well-known writer on political subjects, was assistant sec- retary of state from 1898 to 1903, and subsequently, served as minister to l Switzerland and to The Netherlands before accepting the ambassadorship to Germany. He was at Berlin from 1908 to 1911.
 MT. Wilson's diplomatic service began in 1907 when he was named minister to Chile and was interrupted in 1913 when he resigned as ambassa- 1 dor to. Mexico after a break with President Wilson over the Mexican policy of the Democratic administra- tion- Meantime he had been minister 1 to Greece and Belgium, and had been appointed ambassador to Turkey, a post which he never filled because President Taft changed his mind and sent him to Mexico instead.

WASHINGTON, April 22 22-Any reparation proposals the German gov ernment may submit to the United States for transmission to the allies must be of a character those gov ernments will be willing to consider and therefore before being formally committed to the powers as a whole their general nature will probably be made clear to the governments sep arately.
 Pending a separations offer which it was expected might be received tomorrow as a result of the Ger man cabinet council meeting tonight, official comment was withheld. It was known, however. that diplomat ic representations here of the allied governments had exchanged opin- ions today on Secretary Hughes re- ply to Germany's appeal for media ton ofe the separations dispute and it is understood the situation had been discussed informally by officials of the United States and those of the interested European nations.
 The declaration of Dr. Simons. the German foreign minister. in the reichstag that in drawing up q basis of it's proposition the German govern ment must go to the extreme limits of what the German people can fur nish in the way of reparations was interpreted here as an acceptance, in principle, at least. of the American position recently stated that the United States stands with the allies in holding Germany responsible for the war and therefore morally bound to make restitution to the full limit of her ability to paY

 Dr. Charles F. Brush of Cleveland presented experiments, results of which tended to show that gravita- tion acted differently with different substances.
 If these experiments be true. and Dr. Brush is very careful in kis eX- pertinent it upsets all we have known about gravitation for 200 years,'' said pr. A. G. Webster of Clark univer- sity.
