GERMANY SIGNS
 SEPARATE PEACE
PACT REPUDlATES CLAUSES OF VERSAILLES COVENANT BUT
 HOLDS ALL RIGHTS.

Washington. = The treaty of peace with Germany negotiated by Presi dent Harding and Secretary of State Hughes in lieu of the rejected treaty of Versailles has been signed in Der lin and made public at the American State Department.
 The treaty carries out the stipula tions Cf the peace resolut-on adopted by Congress and approved by the president of the United States July 2, 1921, and provides that this govern ment shall have all the rights and ad- vantages which were specified in that resolution.
 The treaty explicitly provides that the United States shall be entirely disassociated from the League of Ma tions and shall not be bound by any action that the league has taken or may take in the future, and it binds Germany to all the important repara. tions and economic clauses, the dis. armament provisions and other essen tial obligations insofar as they af. feet the United States which were specified in the Versailles treaty, which was approved by the allied and associated powers.
 The treaty does not become effec- tive until ratified by the Senate of the United States and Germany can not be resumed. Inasmuch as the Senate is in recess until September 21s President Harding cannot submit the pact, but It will be sent to the Senate immediately when it recon venes and ratification is confidently expected without much delay. Mem bers of the Foreign Relations Commit tee have had the provisions of the treaty read and explained to them by the president and Secretary Hughes. Representative of all Republican fac tions which developed during the dis cussion of the Versailles treaty have declared themselves satisfied with the pact and even some of the Demo cratic leaders have admitted that the president and his secretary of state have accomplished a great diplomatic achievement Opposition, therefore, is expected to be little more than per functory from any source.

 IS RESUMED AGAIN
STRIKERS CLASH WITH ARMED DEPUTIES IN LOGAN
 COUNTY.
ARE FIRED ON BY sNIPERs
Mine Workers Officials Hasten To the Scene in the Hope of Pacifying Bel lcose Ranks-Fight in Ieo-
 lated Section.

State Police Headquarters, Ethel, W. Va-Five men fell in an encounter between an armed band and state troopers on Beach creek, Logan coun- ty, near the Boone-Logan county line, Capt. J. R. Broakus, commanding state police and deputy sheriffs, reported. There was much shooting on each side, he said. Whether all the men who fell were killed Captain Brockus was unable to say. He added that af- ter his men had seen those who had fallen picked up and carried away by their companions, the state troopers and deputies retired, because some of their number were in civilian clothes and it was difficult to distin- guish them in the darkness from the men comprising the armed band.
 The clash was at close range, ac. cording to Captain Brocuks' report, the men firing at each other when but eight to 10 feet apart. Before the fight. Captain Brocuks said, Il pris- oners had been taken by the pa- trolling party which set out from Lo- gan, ostensibly toward Blair and Sharples. Four of the prisoners es- capped during the engagement, it was said, and one of the mis believed to have been killed.
 Captain Brocuks was at the head Of l the advance guard of troopers and deputies. It was this detachment, comprising f2 men, that engaged the armed band The patrol while pro- ceeding toward Sharples, Captain l Brockus reported, ran across five men afoot. All were armed with rifles. and one had shotgun.
 He said he had talked with man who came from Sharples after the battle had taken place and this man said that some miners were killed" l but was unable to tell whether all five of the men had been fatally wounded. l Captain Brockus said that later re- ports from Sharples indicated that the state police had played in luck'' in stopping where they did.
 We learned from Sharples that there were between 1,500 and 2,000 armed miners waiting for us to walk into trap" Captain Brocuks said, and if we had advanced it seems as sured a very serious situation would have developed.
 All along the way, the state police officer expltained, "Dotshots" were be- ing taken at the officers from men hid den in houses and in ambush.

BAN OPEN DOOR AT
 DISARMAMENT MEET
REPUBLICAN DESIRE AGAINST THE LIGHT OF PUBLICITY
 PREVAILS.

Washington.-A belief on the part of the administration that this gov. ernment should not insist on open sessions at the disarmament confer. ence became manifest both in Con- ,gress and among high administration officials
 In the Senate the question furnish. ed the theme for colorful debate, during which Senator Lodge, the Re publican leader, who has been select ed as a delegate to the conference, led a fight against Senate action to pledge the American representatives to demand that the assembled powers sit with open doors
 At the same time, among admins. tration officials it was outlined as a definite purpose of the government to refrain from determined objection to secret sessions. Not only was it in dicated as the belief here that such delicate subjects could not be profta bly, discussed in the open, but it was suggested that to insist on such a course might meet with such strong opposition from abroad as to wreck the whole programme of the confer, ence.
 Confirming reports from Berlin that the treaty negotiations with Germany are being conducted secretly at the request of the United States, high of, ficials emphasized it as a conviction of this government that diplomatic conversations cannot develop a frank exchange of views if full publicity is given every step. So far as publicity may be given without endangering franknes sand without offending other powers, however, officials are said to favor it.
 A similar attitude was taken in the Senate debate by Senator Lodge, who has been in frequent conference with President Harding since his selection as delegate. Although declaring that the largest publicity compati- ble with the public interest should characterize the conference" the Re. publican leader asserted that it was wholly impossible and impracticable' to conduct negotiations entirely in the full view of the public.

MONSTER AIR CRAFT WRECKED
 BY EXPLOSION
BETWEEN FORTY AND FIFTY KILLED WHEN GIANT DIRIG-
 IBLE COLLAPSES.
THOUSANDS SEE TRAGEDY
United States Commander MaxfieIe and British General MaitfieId Are Among the Victims-No
 American Rescued.

Hull, England.-Seventee officers and men of the United States navy and ~ officers and men of the Brit lsh navy met death in the collapse of the great dirigible ZR-2 over the city or Hull. U. s. Commander Maxfeld and British General Maitfeld were among the victims.
 Every one of tHe Americans on board the ill-fated craft perished, as far as could be ascertained.
 Only five men of the 49 who were making the trial trip in the dirigible prior to the vessel being turned over to the United States navy are known to have been saved.
 While flying about 1000 feet over Hull, spectators saw the ZR-2 seem | lngly buckle amidships and plunge downward over the city and into the HumDef river One theory of the cause of the disaster is that while the shlpss rudders were being tested the giant craft took sharp turn which caused her framework to buckle and that the explosion of a gasoline tank completed the tragedy. The actual cause, however, never may be known. A rumor has been afioat for several days that the ZR-2 was structurally weak, but this was stoutly denied by all in authority.
 Tens of thousands of spectators saw several men climb outside the balloon and drop from the falling mass, which was enveloped in smoke and others jumped into the Humber as the crippled craft came over the water. As the dirigible struck the Wreckage above water was burning. and there was slight chance for any or the men caught inside to escape.
 Tugs immediately put out into the stream and brought ashore the five sufVlVors, who were taken in ambu- lanees to hospitals. Among these was the American quartermaster, N. O. Walker, who died soon after reaching the hospital from burns he had re- ceived. Lieutenant Little also was rescued from the debris alive. but sue cumbed to his injuries on reaching the ln1lrmary. A rescue tug pulled an-
 
 was dead Inside of his coat was the name Commander Maxfield" Early reports were to the effect that Lieu tenant Easterly had been saved
 An eye witness of the tragedy says the airship was just over center of the pier" and had been noticed to be dipping for some time. Suddenly the nose end seemed to break away from the body and the ship broke in half. One or two paraehutes were seen fall ing before it. The airship touched wa ter as one-half exploded, and few feet under water there was a second roar The explosions were like two huge rockets bursting in the air. When the mass of the airship touched the water of the Humber a huge col umn of flame and smoke was all that could be seen.
 AS result of the explosions a great amount of damage was done to win doWs in the central part of Hull. also Tn the streets adjacent to the pier.
