Compromise With Germans
RumOred in London.
Berlin Delegation Not Down.
hearted Over Crisis.
EXPECTED HEAVIER PENALTIES
Prepare Answer to Allies for
Monday in Good Faith.
Despite Lloyd George Speech,
Believe New Farley Possible.

London, March AFTER a long
night session, German reparations
delegates again attacked their problem
here today, rushing the completion of
new counter proposals for the allies to
be submitted Monday noon.
The air Of the Germans was dis
tinctly optimistic. Altho cast down by
the fury of Premier Lloyd George $
speech in which they were charged
with full guilt for the war and with
the practice of atrocities, the delegates
were hopeful.
Privately, 1t was stated they had
anticipated heavier penalties than tine
allies named for failure to meet the
Preparations demands. Also, they in
terpreted the entente as inviting fur
Their conversations. Because of this,
they believed they will not have to Of
fer the entire sum they are capable
of paying.
Compromise Is Rumored.
Vague hints that discussions were
going on between the allies regarding
the possibility Of bridging the gulf be-
tween them and the Germans were
heard last night. Nothing tangible.
however, developed and members of
the German delegation told newspaper
men at midnight they had heard moth
ing from Berlin relative to the address
made by Lloyd George in presenting
an ultimatum to DIR. Walter Simons.
Today's newspapers engaged IN
speculation regarding the extent OF
the allied military measures to be
adopted if the Germans failed to meet
the terms laid down by the supreme
councils in Paris.
The Daily Mirror claimed to have
Information that the British war Of
flee was ready to place division OF
infantry at the disposal of Marshal
Foch, and the newspapers said 1t I'M
derstood that the British would oc-
cupy Dusseldorf. Andrew Bonar Law,
remarked in the house of commons
recently that the number of British
troops on the Rhine numbered 12,909.
Lloyd George Praised.
Marshal Foch, it was declared by
the London Times. believes the allies
sufficiently strong in occupied districts
of Germany to hold Duisburg, Ruhr-
ohrt and Dusseldorf, if necessary. A
dispatch from Brussels stated q bat
terry of artillery had been dispatched
to German territory occupied by Bel
gian troops.
The speech of Mr. Lloyd George to
the German delegation yesterday drew
high praise today, even from anti
governmental organs. The majority
of this mornings newspapers pro-
fessed little expectation that the Ger
man government would yield. Some
thought the position of Doctor Simons
had become so difficult that he might
be replaced. while others expressed
belief that the German cabinet would
resign and another government more
amenable to the allied demands would
be formed.

HARDING WARNS
Continued from Page One,

ITOm IHRe Oue-s
mediation, Cancellation and arbitra-
ton, Qualification of international law
and establishment of a world court.
But aside from this general interna-
tional program, President Harding
pinned his hope on a new era of the
golden rule which should be crowned
with the autocracy of service.
Humanity hungers for interna-
tional peace" he said, land we crave
1t with all mankind. The earth is
thirsting for the cup of good will"
Enlargiug on this doctrine of good
will, he raised a fervent prayer for
peace both among nations and among
men.
Mankind needs a worldwide bene-
diction of understanding" he said.
After outlining his International pro-
gram in a general way, the new presi-
dent approached the climax of his ad-
dress.
Wants Golden Rule Era.
'T would -ejoice to acclaim the era
of the golden rule and crown it with
the autocracy of service" he said. 81
pledge an administration wherein all
the agencies of government will func-
ton purely as an expression of popu-
lar will Then he paused and in the
hush that spread over the vast crowd
he made his solemn pledge:
81 accept my part with a single
of spirit and implore the favor and
guidance of God in His heaven. With
these 1 am unafraid and confidently
face the future.
ST have taken the solemn oath of
office on that passage of holy writ
wherein it is asked, what doth the
Lord require of Thee but to do justly,
and to love mercy and to walk humbly
with Thy God?' This I plight to God
and country"
The progress of the nation, he as
serted, proves the wisdom of the pol
icy of non-involvement in old world
affairs.
Confident of our ability to work
out our own destiny and jealousy re-
garding our right to do so, we seek no
part in directing the destinies of the
old world" President Harding said.
I'VE do not mean to be entangled."
America Harbors No Hate.
He emphasized that this nation har-
bors no hate and recognizes that the
tween nations.
I'VE wish to promote understand
ing" he said. I'VE want to do our
part in making offensive warfare so
hateful that governments and peoples
who resort to it must prove the right
eousness of their cause or stand as
outlaws before the bar of civilization .
Harding fell back on the verdict
of the American people in the solemn
referendum" last November in defend
ing this position.
I'm a deliberate questioning of a
suggested change of national policy
where Internationally was to super
sede nationality, we turned to a refer
endum of the American people, he
said. There was ample discussion
and there is public mandate in mani
fest understanding"
Turning to the industrial situation
Harding said there is no place for
revolution in America; urged submits
sion of industrial disputes to confer
ence before instead of after conflict
ana suffering.

COURT HEARS WAGE CASE
Employees of Charles Wolff Packing
Co. Present Their Testimony.


With a court room filled with per-
haps two hundred employees of the
Charles Wolff Packing company, the
Kansas court of Industrial relations
Thursday heard testimony in the en-
ployes' wage dispute. The packing
company workers, who are members
of the local butchers and meat cut
ters' union. appealed to the Industrial
court last January, following an
nouncement of a cut in wages ranging
from z u to Is cents an hour
The company maintains that with
present market conditions it cannot
continue the wage scales as provid ed
in last years contract with the union
The employees claim the reduced scale
does not. provide a fair living wage,
which the industrial court act declares
must be paid to workers in essential
industries.
One employe testified that he
is qualified by many years expert
ence as an expert ham trimmer for
which he formerly received IS cents
an hour. His grievance was that he
work at SO cents an hour. An at
torney for the Wolff company on cross
examination brought out that the con-
tract price for his present work Is 52h
cents an hour. The witness declared
he was given his present work at a
wage slightly above the scale for a
purpose"
The union and the company were
both well represented by counsel and
it appeared that the case will be
strongly contested. f. S. jackson, at
torney for the industrial court, also
questioned witnesses.
Because the regular industrial court
hearing room was occupied with the
rate hearing case, the wage case was
transferred to the supreme court room.
