The United States, he added, had no

The resolution gave rise to some de-

FINAL ACTION
ON MANDATES
Eloquent Speeches BY Leading
European Statesmen
PALESTINE OF THE FUTURE
Earl OF Balfour Predicts Prosperity
And Religious Advancement
All Religions Pro
tected,

London.-The mandates created un-
der the peace treaties were given
final seal of approval by the Council
of the League of Nations at it's last
sitting Monday afternoon.
M. Viviani, of France, referred to the
Councils action as a solemn and i'm
portant accomplishment for the
League and one full of significance
and historic interest.
In an eloquent but restrained ad-
dress the Earl of Balfour outlined
Great Britain's future policy in
Palestine, which he said would be
one of strict impartiality and justice,
in which all traditional rights, senti.
ments and religious feelings of the
different racial groups would be re-
spected and held inviolate. He pre-
dicted greater material prosperity,
rapid advancement and fuller privi-
leges for the Arabs and others under
the new regime. He was confident
that the establishment of a Jewish
National Home, which had been ac-
claimed in America, as in Europe,
would not be antagonistic to or in
compatible with their interests
Indeed, he was sure the spiritual
interests OF all elements of the popu-
lation would be intellectually advanced
under the new administration and he
pleaded earnestly that all should for
get the past with its racial animosities
and prejudices and should strive loyal.
ly for the peace, prosperity and COM
mon good of the whole country.
M. Viviani, who arrested the imme.
diate attention of the large and dis.
tinguished public audience by his
oratory and animated gestures, begged
the newspapers to believe that the
secret sittings of the Council during
the past week were in the interest of
an amicable and speedy solution of
the many difficult and delicate prob
lens which could not be settled other
WISE
Marquis Imperiali, for Italy, and
Count Quinones, Spanish Ambassador
to France, also spoke congratulating
the League on the successful issue of
the mandates question.
The session of the Council Monday
was more largely attended than any
previous meeting. Represented in the
audience were delegations of Arabs,
Jews and Moslems, as well as many
men distinguished in State, church
and official life.
Monsignor Cerretti, representing
the Vatican, who was denied a hear
ing by the Council on the Vatican S
claims respecting the holy shrines
In Asia, occupied seat in the rear
and listened with rapt attention to
the Earl of Balfour's promises that
the sacred traditions of all interests
in Palestine would be preserved.

OPERATORS TO
OPEN MINES
Pennsylvania Interests Will
Push Plans PapidIy
1000 TROOPS IN THE FIELD
soldiers Move Into Coal Area-First
Disturbance Is Reported-Ask
Men To Return To
Work.

Washington. - While the Govern
ment is moving to conserve and dis
tribute the available supply of coal,
important mining interests, particu
larly in Western Pennsylvania, are
pushing preparations to reopen mines
closed by the strike.
Encouraged by the dispatch of Penn
sylvania National Guard troops, the
Pittsburgh Coal Producers Associa-
tion has selected four mines in Wash
ington county for immediate reopen
ing. Reports from Somerset, Indiana,
Westmoreland and Cambria counties,
Pennsylvania, are to the effect that
operators are preparing to resume
mining
With more than 1000 Pennsylvania
cavalrymen and machine gunners
moving into the coal fields and 1000
being modified at Mount Gretna for
their summer encampment, Governor
Sproul announced in Philadelphia
that he would call out the entire Ma
tional Guard if needed to preserve
order.
The first disturbance in the Lower
Pennsylvania anthracite field was re-
ported from Shamokin, where a crowd
attempted to prevent maintenance
men from entering the collieries. The
mob was dispersed by State police and
four men arrested. At Uniontown a
guard at mine fired on a man who
tried to enter the pit and in turn was
fired upon from the hills. The house
of a mine guard at Hopwood was
burned and charge of dynamite set
off at another mine.
Ohio National Guardsmen are on
duty at Cadiz, where it was reported
that a mob was forming to march
on strip mines, IS of which are being
operated. There has been no disturb
ance. Non-union miners employed in
drift mines near Gallipolis, Ohio,
struck today for higher wages.
The Consolidated Coal and Coke
Company, of Butler, Pa, telegra phed
President Harding request that Fed
eral troops be sent to guard the com.
pany's operations near New Straits
vile, Ohio. In the telegram the COM
pany said Governor Davis "has re-
fused to furnish us any protection" In
answer the Governor said the State
military forces are being mobilized
and that company was stationed in
the adjoining county for any emer-
gency.
Indiana operators decided at a meet
ing at Indianapolis that no immediate
effort would be made to reopen mines.
A Statewide meeting will be held, and
in the meanwhile Governor McCray
announced no step would be taken to-
ward producing coal. Similar deci-
sion was reached by the Oklahoma
operators.
Governor Groesbeck, of Michigan,
asked the striking miners OF that
State to return to work and indicated
that the State would take over the
collieries unless the operators and
miners reached an agreement in the
meanwhile.
Governor Neff, of Texas, replying to
President Harding's message said pro
lection for coal miners and property
will be given as far as possible.

Washington.-Steps to establish "a
national position in readiness" for the
Army as a development of the ma
tlonal military policy are forecast in
memorandum recently submitted by
General Pershing to Secretary Weeks
and just made public at the War De-
partment. The general nature of the
project, however, contemplates as
signment of National Guard divisions
to specific defensive positions on
coasts and borders to which they
would be rushed in the event of war.
Under this plan," General Perish.
ing said, "the military organizations
required to secure critical landing
places upon our coasts and favorable
lines of advance upon our land from
tiers can be definitely formed and
prepared. With such initial organiza.
tion assured the additional military
units required for the full prosecu-
tion of serious war can be mobil-

strength without disturbance or in.
terruption.
with our territory thus protected
against landings in force at the start,
and with the machinery for further
military expansion fully organized,
our fleet will be free to deal with the
hostile naval forces without concern
as to possible INVASION
The plans are practicable, General
Pershing said, ''if we can count upon
a reasonable development of the
economic military system sanctioned
by the national defense act"
with Is divisions and appropriate
auxiliaries of the National Guard, sup.
plemented by the regular Army pre-
pared for necessary expansion, and
with certain special units formed in
the organized reserves" he continued
I'VE shall be able to cover our coasts
and land frontiers against serious in
vasion at the start.
"Such military organization causes
no menace to any other nation, but
assures the impregnability of the con
