for the lives Of AZ men, entombed

Dawn lit the pale faces Of weary

Miners who " re not caught in the

MANY Of those who were off the res

but remained pressed against the ropes

a week IN q public hau and for two
hours listen TO the news read to them

The paper gives precedence to a di-

there is an editorial on a subject of

GBy United Press.J

Wasbinoton Aug 29.-With the
Allies apparently hopeiessiy dead
locked and Germany and other
countries of Central Europe as well
plunging further into financial and
economic chaos, the United States
may be asked in the near future 70
settle the German reparations prob
lem. according to information IN dip
lomatic circles today.
Should such a request come from
Europe, it would probably be with
a view of having the United States
act as a sort of an arbitrator, ac-
cording to the belief here. 1t is not
expected that an appeal from Europe
would be for this country to partl-
cipate directly in negotiations to set
tie the Central European problems,
or to lend any material governmental
aid in the situation; for 1t Is thought
that the American Government would
reject any such plans, as has been
pointed out in previous United Press
Dispatches.
But some quarters here believe that
should a direct appeal come from
Europe, the United States Govern
ment might very possibly agree to
give its views as to the best way to
bring about a rehabilitation in Eu-
rope. Such a statement from the
United States might be of media
tory character, and in this regard it
is pointed out that little more than
year ago Secretary of State Hughes
acting on an appeal from Germany,
agreed to refer satisfactory repara-
tions proposals to the Allies. Many
persons believed that those negotia-
tions had the effect of keeping France
from taking the Ruhr Valley at that
time.
DR.. Otto Wiedfeldt, German Am
bassador to Washington. is due to
reach the United States the last of
this week from Germany, where he
has been having important conferen-
ces with the Berlin Government. 1t IS
known that Ambassador Weidfeldt
went back to Germany after he had
been in this country short while, in
order to inform Berlin directly of
the attitude of the United States to-
ward Germany in the general Euro
pean situation and also to take up
certain specific and technical ques-

Element in the hard coal fields, the
railroad strike stands out as the
chief obstacle to industrial peace. Mr..
Harding has decided to let the rail-
road executives and the strikers fight
il oIt for the present. Personally, he
is out of the picture.
The length of the "finish fight be
tween the two factions depends on tu-
ture DEVELOPMENTS. If the railroad eX-
ecutives can maintain transportation,
the president will not interfere.
The House today began considera-
tion of the Winslow anti-coal prof.
teering bin with the prospect OF pass
ing it by tomorrow night. Some Dem
ocratic opposition is expected.
Philadelphia, Aug. 29.-It was per-
sistently reported today that a plan
for new peace in the anthracite
coal fields, acceptable to both miners
and operators, has been devised, that
the Joint conference of operators and
union ocials will reconvene here to-
morrow, and that new agreement
will be signed before the week ends.
This is accopished there Is a pos
sibility that the $4,000 miners who
quit work April l will be back in the
mines next week.
The note of optimism which has
been struck is the result of series OF
conferences yesterday between gov
erument officials and mine workers
and several informal
meetings between individuals from
the hard region and the union officers.
Rev. j. J. Curran, pastor of st.
Mary's Catholic Church in Wilkes
barre, admitted that new peace
proposal had been submitted to both
miners and operators. Rev. Curran
held two conferences with John L.
Lewis miners chief yesterday. He re-
fused to discuss the plan. Father Cur
ran took an active part in ending the
strike in 1902 and was a friend of
the late Theodore Roosevelt.

way of an approaching machine when
the automobile be was driving top
