DOORN. Holland, April 11.-Former
Empress Augusta Victoria Of Ger
many, died here this morning.
Beloved by Her People.

Born October %, 1858, at Dolzig,
Augusta Victoria was the oldest
daughter of Grand Duke Srederick OF
Schleswig-H olstein-Sonderburg. Au
gustenburg and ranked as a princess
|of Schleswig- Holstein. Her early
childhood was spent at Kiel. She was
married to the then Prince William
of Prussia on February q, 1881. They
had six sons and one daughter.
Collapse of the central powers and
Emperor William of Germany and
his consort into practical exile in
Holland in November, 1918, was the
lowering of the curtain in the life
of the once beautiful empress and
queen of Prussia, Augusta Victoria
who for nearly 40 years had been
the most beloved hausfrau of the
German people. In the Netherlands
where she and her husband resided
first in Amerongen and then at
Doom, the former kaiserin's long
continued illness was made more
grave by her yearning to return to
Berlin and Potsdam. On several oc
land members of her family had been
summoned to her bedside in anticipa
tion of her death, but she rallied and
survived.
The ex-empress' gravest cloud, next
to the abdication of William H., was
the tragic death of err son, Prince
Joachim, who committed suicide by
shooting himself in Berlin in 1920
She was never informed, it is said
that Joachim had taken his own life
Another depressing event which
haunted her was the Russian revolu
ton and the fate that befell emperor
Nicholas and his family, with all OF
whom. before the war, she had been
on the kindliest terms.
Interest in Charity.
Augusta Victoria was notable chief
ly for her keen interest in the chart
table work and in the betterment o.
the living conditions of the German
poor. 1t has been said of her thai
she was not an especially gifted WON
an and that she cared more for the
simple duties of home life than fol
royal functions.
1t Is not known that she exercised
any considerable influence POLITICAL,
or that she desired to do so. Hel
talents seemed, instead, to be directed
to the task of becoming helpful
wife and devoted mother to her 81,
sons and one daughter.

REDUCED WAGES CONTENTION
Transport and Railway Men to Join
Coal Miners in Walkout.-Cail For
voiunteers.-Premier Charges
intimidation 10 Aim.

LONDON.-This week, unless there
is some new development in the
meantime, will see the start of the
greatest labor struggle In the coun-
tfyis history.
Approximately 100000 workers
then will have ceased their duties in
protest against what they consider to
be an organized attempt on the part
OF the employers to enforce general
reduction in wages.
This Is the central fact OF the labor
situation as it developed today in a
breakdown in the miners conference
and a consequent decision by the
triple alliance-made up of miners
and railway and transport workers
for the first time since it was or.
ganized that it's entire membership,
roughly estimated at 100000 miners
and 100000 each from the railway and
transport workers organizat lions,
should quit work in support of the
miners strike.
The governments standpoint, as
voiced by Premier Lloyd George in
brief speech in the house of com.
mons, is that the action of the miners
and the other members of the triple
alliance is an attempt by direct action
to intimidate parliament and the ma
tion. The premier announced the
military and other measures which
| the government intended to take to
defeat this attempt.
| The miners charge the sudden re.
moval of control of the coal mines is
the result of pact between the gov
eminent and the mine owners to en-
able the owners to enforce an unjus
tifiable reduction in wages. The rail
waymen hold that unless they support
the miners similar dilemma will
happen to the railway men when the
railways are released from govern
ment control.
May Settle Yet.
| LONDON.-An agreement wa!
reached Sunday by the striking Goa
miners and the mine owners for con
ference for the purpose of endeavor
ing to settle the strike The execu
tive body of the miners has instructed
the miners to refrain from any actor
ehdangering the mines.
