HANSEN DEFENDS HIS { AGREEMENT WITH sovIETs

Geneva. Sept. (by the A. P.)-Dr Fridtiof Nansen, of Norway, in a state- ment today to the correspondents at tending the sessions of the league as sembly defended his agreement with the soviets and asserted that it's provfs- ions gave complete control of the dis tribution of relief to the International Red Cross. He denied emphatically the report that this had been repudiated by the International Red Cross. He had had several conferences, he said, with officials of that organization since his arrival in Geneva.

DECISION FOR BRITISH CABINET WEDNESDAY

London. Sept 5-CBy the A. P0- Members of the British cabinet will be called upon to reach a decision on Wedi- nesday either to contiue negotiations with Sim Fein Ireland on the basis of the consent of the governed or issue an ultiTnatum to the Irish republicans to accept or reject the govemnment' 5 proposals looking to a settlement of the Irish question The reply of Eamonn De Valera and his associates to the latest note from Prime Minister Lloyd George made pubi4c herd yesterday, did not break off negotiations ith the British government, but it was admitted here today that the situation had lost none Of it's gravity.
 There appeared to be no thought Of retreat expressed in the Sim Fein re- ply to the prime minister, and It seemed the situation remained as it was be- fore the last exchange of letters between Dublin and London. There was a dis position here today to think that the ne gotiations. would continue but it was apparent that the parties in inc con troversy had not reached anything like a common understanding nNtch wouli serve as a basis for further parIeys. Pa tience was counselled, however, in Ihe hope that some way out of the maze might be found.

REPORT OF DRESEL AS FRENCH : AMBASSADOR TO GERMANY

Berlin, Sept (by the A. P.)-The German foreign office is without confir- nation of reports received here from London and Paris that Ellis Loring Dre- sel is to be appointed ambassador to Germany. The report was printed in the Berlin newspapers and resulted in MT. Dresel being overwhelmed with congratulations. He said today that he was entirely In the dark as to the state departments decision with regard to the Berlin post or concerning his fu- ture disposition.
 pr. Fredrich Rosen. the foreign min ister, is still scanning the German hor- izon for an ambassador to the United States who would be considered true representative of new Germany. Men of the an1b a ssa dorial stamp whom the government has had in view are out of it's reach. while others who have vol- unteered to fill the post at Washington are said not to be finding official favor or receiving encouragement.
 The Washington assignment involves a number of perplexing difficulties for the cabinet In addition to the question of the ambassadors personality one of the chiAf questions is the expense of establishing the Washington mission The German ambassador who would be content to maintain a modest establish ment would cost Germany a minimum of s50.ooo year, which today exceed; 400o, 900 marks. This would not in clude the staff Or other embassy ex- penses even allowing for rigid curtail. ments in many directions.

TosTEIASTEE GENERAL HAYS
 ADDRESSES LETTER CARRIERS

St. Louis. Sept 5.-Economic dificu!- ties and industrial problems which now seem serious can be and will be soivea in only one way, and that is Dy finding exact justice and enforcing it, Postmas- ter General Hays declared here tonight .n a Labor day address before the an nual convention of the National Asso- citation of Letter Carriers.
 Live and let live is not enough, MT Hays said. We must live and help live in America The labor of the country constitutes its strength and it's wealth. It is the countrys greatest asset and is entitled to and must re- ceive fair representation in all the coun- cils of the nation. The better that la GOT is conditioned the higher it's reward and the wider it's opportunities and the greater it's comforts and retiuements, the better will be our civilization and safer Wi be our government, the more sacred our homes.
 For myself I am convinced that the true solution Of the questions arising between labor and capital lies in an awakened public conscience, in a thor ough medication of the spirit of fair dealing among mem then in oFganiza- ton. and in wise humane leadership and in the establishment of boards of con- ciliation or arbitration which are ab- solutoiy free from the poIluting touch of selfish interests or DO itical dema- gogues, to which the interests concern ed may freely and confidently appeal"
 MT. Hays speech was devoted large ly to affairs of the post office depart ment and to his "300.0O0 partners in lthe service of whom he said there are k''no better set of men and women in Ghe world"

QUESTION SWIMMING FEATs
 OF MRS. ARTHUR HAMILTON

London, Sept 5,--The swimming ex- pioits of Mrs. Arthur Hamilton, noted English swimmer, art being subjected to the same sort of. attacks as those Which were prevalent after Dr. Cooks famous Polar exploration
 Since August 20, when Mrs Hamilton claimed to have nearly swan the Eng fish channel after having been in the water twenty hours, other swimmers have been demanding proofs of her ad- venture, The Evening Standard today printed an affidavit of a prominent Mar gate business man, A. L. Porter, alleg- ing that Mrs. Harnlton's exploit of September, 1920. when she claimed to have spent twelve hours in the water in bad weather and to have reached within nine miles of the French coast, was Q fraud. MT. Porter asserts in his affidavit that he lent Mrs. Hamil- ton a motorboat to accompany her, that she left the water after an hour and spent the night in the boat in Mar gate harbor with MT. Porter and other members of the accompanying party.
 Mrs Hamilton was accompanied cn her last trip by a tug occupied by French sailors. Her rivals are now de- manding a chart of her trip, of which the tug captain says there Is none. It is also complained that there were nc reliable witnesses aboard the tug.

NOT RIPPLE OF DISORDER
 IN WEST VIRGINIA COAL FIELDS

Madison. W. Va, Sept. 5.-Taking ad- vantage of the general atmosphere of calm which prevailed troughout the re- gently disturbed areas of the West Vir- sinia coal fields. Brisadier General H. H. Bandholtz today journeyed by special train up the valley of the Coal river on an official inspection tour. Over the en- tire length of his route to Blair inclad- ing stops at Clothier and Jeffrey, he found not so much as a ripple of disor- der.
 General Bandholtz, who was accom- panied today by his military staff and Colonel c. A. Martin, in command of troops in the Coal River valley, received al each stopping place reports Of army officers in charge of the several dis tricts. After returning here he declired that the situation was in fine shape" and that he was very well pleased"
 Earlier :n the day Colonel Martin dispatched detachment of troops to sur vey the territory up the Hewitt Creek valley, with instructions 10 pass through the divide near JefIery and scour the summit of Spruce Fork Ridge for a dis tance of fifteen miles. Up to late hour tonight the detail had not returned. No alarm was expressed at headouarters here, however, it being assumed that the soldiers were delayed by the electric storm that swept the hills most of the day.
 Colonel Martin today declared he did not believe accounts brought in by civil ians that the bodies of men who had been killed in the hills were lying about in the passes. He sent a number of these civilians on harinS their stories, under military escort into the hills They returned without having led the soldiers to the resting place of single slain man. .,-.

SINN FEINERs DENY
 THE COERCION OF ULSTER

Dublin, Sept. 5.-The attention of the Sim Fein publicity department today was called to the address at Armagh yesterday of owen O'Duffy, chief Sim Fein liasion officer for Ulster, in which he was quoted <.s advocating coercion of Ulster. It was asked whether ODuffy s speech had the approval of the Dali Ei- reann.
 Eamon De Valera, the Irish republi- can leader. and other Sim Fein chiefs were consulted, after which the follow ing statement was made public:
 "The Dali Eireann does not propose to use coercion against northeast Ul- ster any more than it proposes to sub init to coercion itself Mr. O'Duffy's S statement refers to the defense of the national minority at elfast, who last week were wantonly shot down by or ganized and directed Orange gangs, which were permitted to act for two days without interference from either local Or British authorities. Coercion will not be applied by us to a disobe- dient minority but 1t is not proposed | that that minority should be permitted 1 to use firearms with impunity against our people resident among them"

HUNGER AND DEATH IN
 THE STREETS OF SAHARA

samara, Russia, Sept. 5.-(By The A. P)-Hunger and death go virtually un- noticed in the neglected streets and al leys of Samara. Refugees from famine districts near this city, estimated from thirty to fifty thousand, are huddled to- gether in deserted buildings, unused fac tories, tattered tents and In wagons massed about theopen spaces about the railway stations and the docks along the Volga river.
 Hunger, typhus, cholera and exhaus- ton are carrying off hundreds of these miserable fugitives, young children fall- ing victims readily to the famine and its attendant scourges. Bedraggled and ragged refugees are constantly carrying pine coffins toward the cemetery, where unpainted crosses mark hundreds of new graves which have been dug since the flight before the advancing famine be- gan. From 50 to 100 starving children are gathered up daily from the streets, or turned over to the central refuge by parents who cannot feed them. Many of these little sufferers have typhus few er but the hospitals are without beds and medicine.

Play fair now and you will do more to stabilize your business and bring good feeling than anything else you can do. Keep in mind the fact that those men who are swarming around your gates looking for work are the same human beings as yourself. They have the same aspirations for their fam flies that you have for yours. Regulate matters now for the future and play the part owf far-sighted wisdom"
 To labor the secretary held out the assurance that "in spite of the occasion al hsrdboi,ed emp,oye, no true Amer icsn business man cntertains serious thought of crushing the workmen's or ganizations."
 Let the open shop mean what it says --open to al," he added. Any employer knows that crushing the unions can not he done in the first place, he knows that it would net be safe in any case. We want no Russia in this country, no hordes of disorganized. leaderiess meu, raduced to such a state of starvation that charity must 90 to their aid"
 Opposition to the principle of the liv- irg wage a.so was expressed by Mir. Da- wis.

We need to hsar something of the saving wage IL is not enough for a man merely to exist, to meet the cost Of living, what ever it is, to pay the rent, and buy food and clothing for his family.

Logan, W: Va, Sept. e.-colonel W. E. Eubanks, in command of units of the national guard called out to re- sist the attempted epcroachment of arm ed men upon territory west of Spruce Fork Ridge, today left for his home in Welch. Before he left Logan every unit which served under him had been ols- banded.
 Federal troops which yesterday took up positions in the area recently swept by outbreaks of firing between armed men today patrolled the entire region, re- ports from which, without exception, in- dicated that all was quiet for the first time in many days. Colonel Shuttle worth, in command, declared that not a single shot had been fired on either side during the day, nor was there sign of the presence of any disturbers of the peace.
 Just before his departure Colonel Eu- banks issued a statement expressing ap- preciation for the loyalty, good conduct and fighting qualities of the men who had served under him.
 Logan was deserted today. Not a single volunteer was seen on the streets and it was said that so many men had returned to work at coal loading sta- tions that some of these were able to operate up to 80 per cent. of maximum : efIcfensyt
