 Describing the German communi- cation as an unequivocal express ion" of recognition of that obliga- ton, the American reply expresses hope that renewed negotiations which Germany says it plans to initi- ate, may lead to a prompt settle ment which will satisfy the just claims of the allies and permit Ger many hopefully to renew its pro- ductive activities

Without resulting in any serious washing so far reported, the rain and snow storm of Sunday night and yesterday gave indications of improv- ing greatly the roads of Yavapai county, according to accounts re- ceived from various sources by the board of supervisors yesterday.
 Long continued drcuth had result ed in hardening the roads and the county's engineering crews had not been able to do any dragging. As result of the softening of the roads on this side of the Black Hills, it was said that the road crews now will be able to get in some good licks. There is plenty of equipment and if necessary the county will em- ploy extra meE temporarily to drag all the main roads.
 The storm, it was reported. was a freak. At two o'clock yesterday there had been little precipitation at Clarkdale and other sections of the Verde valley.

Germany declares that there exists in France only a limited degree of concern for re- mobilization of the devastated regions because advance indemnities have been given the former occupants who have settled in other parts of France and 'the work of clearing the war areas has been undertaken by influ- ential groups of promoters who are making no effort to expedite their contracts"
 The German communication is in the form of a memorandum of Dr. Walter Simons, minister for foreign affairs, dated March g. The Amer ican reply is officially termed a Statement" and was sent to Com- missioner Dresel for communication to Simons, dated March 29th.

INDUSTRIAL CRISIS. IS CLOSE IN
 BRITAIN l
CBy Associated Press)

LONDON, April 4-Signs tonight point to the dispute between the
 coal miners and the government drifting toward the most serious in-
 dustrial crisis in recent years.
 There are rumors that the govern ment has decided on certain military steps which are likely still further to inflame the miners while further emergency regulations will be issued giving governmental departments al most unlimited powers to take pos session of mines, lands, buildings, works, gas, electric, water supplies, horse, food, forage and to acquisition transports, close ports, control ship ping and cargoes, fix prices of coal, prohibit or regulate the sale and supply of motor spirit.
 Much may depend on the attitude of the government as revealed by the debate in the house of commons tomorrow, and Wednesday will be the critical day, deciding whether other sections of the triple alliance, the railwaymen and transport work CTS, will strike in support of the miners. The railwaymen strongly favor strike. Moderate opinion is concentrating in favor of a sugges- ton offered by Allen Reed Bigland, of the coalition unionists, that the so-called de-control bill should be rescinded and the time limit for control fixed for May 30, instead of March 3l, giving time for the dis cussion and arrangement of wages, i and the education of the miners to the real industrial position. It is be- lieved the government will refuse to accept this suggestion and the pre- mier will base his position on the proposition that it is impossible for the country, because of its finances, to bear any further burden in the shape of subsidy to miners.
 The anti-governmental press ac- cuses Premier Lloyd George of try ing to maneuver the labor party into a false position whereby he could appeal to the country against labor policy of direct action and bol- shevism."

 CTS as they shape up after many con- ferences include no provision for

How far the president may have concurred in such an agreement IS not revealed but in some quarters it was pointed out that with the resolution hanging fire in congress, the administration might be able to exert an enlarged influence in securing the acceptance of itsSpeace plans by other nations. Technically this government still would be at war with Germany, ex- ercising the full privileges of a bel Iigerent in the arrangement of a final peace and still actually asso- ciated with the allies. Under such it was suggested, the possibility of separate peace might oe used Automatically along with he foreign loan situation as a lever lge to secure the acceptance of darding's plans for a peace associa- ion.
