100000 Return to Work With
Pay Increases-Red Stu
alton Well in Hand.

AMSTERDAM, May 31.-Nearly
all the 10000 German mine and mill
strikers in the Ruhr either have re-
turned to work or signified their in
tention of doing 50, said dispatch
from Berlin today. The metal work
ers were induced to resume work by
promise of big wage increase.
With the collapse of the strike
movement the red uprising has vir-
tually come to an end. Labor chaos
was the chief weapon Of the German
communists.
Berlin officials were said to be OPP
timistic over the outlook both in the
Ruhr and in Dresden where the reds
tried to seize Dresden.
German officials were reported to
have concentrated a large force of
police on the Ruhr border to prevent
the red wave from rolling toward the

LONDON, May 31.-Henry Allen,
former Republican governor Of Kan

today that he believed President
Harding would be a candidate for
reelection. Former Governor Allen
denied that he intends to seek the
nomination.
The Democratic Presidential NOM

Henry Ford, the Detroit automobile
manufacturer, and Oscar w. Under.
wood, United States Senator from
Alabama.
IT believe that the leaders Of the
Democratic party are for, Senator
Underwood, but I am skeptical of
their ability to control the national
convention" said Allen.
Allen advocated entrance of the
United States into the international
court. He said he believed that the
United States had misinterpreted
President Harding's big majority as
being in favor Of complete isolation.
He said he thought the people
wanted a limited degree of partict.
patton in European affairs.
Allen has Travelled all through
continental Europe and the Near
East. He spent some time in
Greece and later in the Ruhr.
Either Germany must realize the
impossibility of passive resistance

BANDITS TREAT

Tx
Chinese Release Major Allen
and State Department Sees
Situation Better.
By international News Service.

Negotiations between the Chinese
authorities and the Shantung
bandits are proceeding favorably,
the State Department announced
today in a communique based on
reports from American diplomatic
representatives in Picking.
Confidence is felt that the bandits
will follow the voluntary liberation
of Major Robert w. Allen, Ameri-
can, and w. Smith, English, with
releases of other prisoners.
Offered New Terms.
Minister Schurman reported that
the bandits had conferences with
the authorities on May % and May
20, at which the assistant military
governor refused to withdraw the
government troops, as demanded
by the brigands, but offered to
incorporate 1000 of them into his
army, giving them one months
pay, and issue them free rations.
Guarantees were not discussed and
the bandits returned to the hills
for conferences among themselves
J. B. Powell, one Of the captives
reported to American diplomats that
the bandits were growing more de
SrOuS OF negotiating.
The State Department made pub
lie today a letter from Major Allen
dated May 25, in which the Ameri
can army officer opposed rescue by
force. The letter said:
All Well Treated.
1--WE are all in good health. We
are well treated. We are not suf
fering. We are in no danger. We
can remain in good health indefi
nitely if we scrupulously regard the
rules Of hygiene necessary in
China. Why be impatient at the
slowness of the Chinese government
in securing our release. Would il
not be better for Us to remain here
month or two longer and even
tually be released with whole skins
than to have our lives endangered
because our relatives and friends
outside or some of them here are
impatient at the delay?
Minister Schurman adds" con

Yer'd go lookin' for violets at

II yer could find some to bring

ones. And when nice days came
along the teacher could get up
and say, eff any OF the pupils

be delighted il they would bring
me some pussywillow" an that
night the whole darn class would
be scrapping In q woods five

Yer'd lose a baseball down a

to take the manhole cover off
which seemed to weigh as mush

Look out for yer toes when it

would get a rake an yer'd lower
it into the sewer an fish the
ball up.
Then everybody would hop back
an nobody wanted to touch
the ball until it had been dried
off. Yer'd always rub a new ball
in grass an stain it green cause
