New York Chortles With Glee at
 WelShman'S Address

New York, Nov. 2.-New York was chuekhrg today over Lloyd Georges quiet humor in his address at the I.otos club last night. Departing from the usual tenor of his addresses in tho United States and Canada in which he had emphasized that the fu- ture of civilization depends upon Brit ain and America working side by side, the former premier spoke in lighter vein of observations on his tour and had his audience in laughter most or the time.
 The way was paved for him by Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia university, the toastmaster who well comed him to Bohemia and the Lotos as David Lloyd George-Human Being

She has written Mrs. Girard, order

Commission today brought to-
gether representatives of the an
thracite coal operators and miners
in a joint session and directed
them to make a final attempt to
reach an agreement that win avert
a strike in the anthracite coal
fields September l.
The full committees Of the oper-
ators and miners went into the
joint session-the first since they
broke off negotiations July 81 at
Atlantic City-to discuss their df-
ferences among themselves and
reply to the: commission by 8
o'clock tonight.
Three Questions Asked.
The commission did not partici-
pate in the conference.
Three questions were put before
the contending factions by the com.
mission with the request that they
submit written replies following
their conference. These were:
"O Whether you can reach an
agreement over the matters now in
dispute and negotiate a new con-
tract by September /.
"(0 Whether in the event Of your
inability by September 1 to reach
an agreement on the matters In
controversy you can agree on
plan that will assure a continuance
Of mining after September / and
until such time as you have reached
an agreement.
"(3) Whether in event you find
yourselves unable to reach a COM
plete agreement you can agree on
some plan for an orderly and peace
able settlement on which an agree
ment can be reached by contract
negotiations and whether this will
prevent a suspension Of mining"
Prompted By Coolidge.
There were reports that the COM
missions action in compelling the
Joint conference was prompted by
President Coolidge who has been
keeping in close touch with the

1t was the first time, since the
coal commission opened the confer
ences here Wednesday, that the
operators and miners had met to-
gether the previous program Of the

two sides separately.
After an all-morning executive
session, the commission summoned
John l.. Lewis, president Of the
United Mine Workers, and Samuel
D. Warmer, chairman Of the opera

identical letters containing the COM
request for the joint meet

establishments Of a. separate
Rhineland state IL the plan which
Maj. Gen. Henry 4. Allen, former
commander Of the American
forces in Germany, has submitted
to Secretary Of State Hughes as
q solution Of the difficulties in
the Ruhr between France: and
Germany, it was learned here
today.
Secretary Hughes Silent.
AS a member Of the Inter-allied
Rhineland Commission. General AL
len was in intimate touch with de-
velopments in Europe growing out Of
the reparations tangle, and his sug-
gestion for the creation of a sepa-
rate buffer state along the Rhine
was made to Secretary Hughes upon
his return to the United States from
Coblenz.
Secretary Hughes declined today
to discuss the Allen plan in any way,
but it is known that the Coolidge
Administration is not ready to make
any such proposal to the allied gov
ernments.
It was explained on high authority
today that the note on the repara-
tons problem which Secretary
Hughes sent to the American EN-.
bassy in London was designed to
clear up any Misrepresentation that
had arisen in Europe concerning the
foreign policy of the new Coolidge
Administration, and to make it plain
that the attitude of this Government
remained unchanged.
Will Not Participate.
The White House announcement
on Tuesday that this Government
would be responsive to European
calls for assistance has been mis-.
interpreted in some quarters, &C.
cording to reports reaching here,
and has led to the feeling that the
administration plans to participate
in the solution of the PREPARATIONS
problem regardless of the effect of
such participation upon the interests
of the United States.
State Department officials de-
clared today, however, that neither
President Coolidge nor Secretary
Hughes had placed themselves in
position which required the &C
ceptance of any plan to straight sn
out Europe's economic affairs, but
that any proposal emenating from
responsible source would be con
sidered.
The Administration still looks
with favor upon the plan Of Sec
rotary Hughes for an international
commission of economic experts to
determine Germany's ability ia
make Preparations payments. but has
not promised to be represented on
