TROOPS IN GERMANY
ARE ORDERED HOME

Washington. d. c. withdrawal OF
the American troops from the Rhine
was ordered Wednesday by President
Harding.
In announcing the decision, the
state department said that the presi-
dent deemed the time expedient for
the recall Of the forces now at Coblenz.
The American forces remaining in
that area number about 1000 men,
and 1t was indicated that the with
drawal order would be carried out as
soon as the American commander,
Major General Allen, could make the
necessary arrangements.
A resolution favoring such q With

situation brought about by the French

ALLIES MAY ADOPT
HUGHES SUGGESTION
Solution Of Question Before
France Takes Action Is
Held Possible.

Washington.-The American govern
ment with the breakup Of the confer
ence OF the allied premiers In Paris.
appears now to be pinning its hopes
for a settlement Of the reparations
crisis largely on the possibility for
adoption by the allied governments Of
plans suggested by Secretary Hughes
in his recent New Haven speech.
The plan for settlement Of repara-
tions controversy between France and
England outlined by Secretary Hughes
in his New Haven address has been
communicated to the French govern
ment through official channels.
Put forward as an alternative to at
tempted forcible collection In Germany
should the crisis reach point regard
ed here as now measurably approached,
Mr.. Hughes proposal would refer the
PREPARATIONS question for advisory re-
auctions, both as to the amount Ger
many can pay and the method Of pay
ment, to an international commission
Of financial authorities free of political
obligations.
With the present moratorium on rep
arations payments not expiring until
January Is, there is believed to be yet
time for decision abroad to examine
the possibilities of the American sug-
gestion before France would presum-
ably move to carry out the program
outlined by Premier Poincare.

Senator Delivers Super
slam at Meredith for
Farmers Plight.
LIBEL SUIT PLEASING
He Too Wants Opponent
Under Oath to Discuss
Wall Street Octopus.
BY the Associated Press.

Jewell. Iowa, Aug. 24.-Declaring
that he would be "only too glad" to
go under oath to "tell the farmers of
Iowa and the United States what l
have learned about the financial
schemes to drive them back to peas
antry." United Senator Smith W..
Brookhart, addressing an American
Legion picnic here today, renewed his
attack on f. Il. Meredith. former sec
rotary of agriculture. with whom he
has taken issue on the financial con-
dition of the farmer. 1t was Mr..
Brookhart's first public reference to
Mr.. Meredith since the latter an
nounced his intention to file a libel
suit against the senator.
Mr.. Meredith. too, would be under
oath, said the senator, and 1--WE will
find out from his own mouth whether
he made fight against the deflation
of the farmers or whether he sat mum
in the Wall street game
His address follows. in part:
my speech at Radcliffe seems to
have offended Mr.. Meredith very griev-
ously and now proposed to sue
me for 30 cents damages. / am glad
that he has been so considerate in
the amount. for if he beats me. that
is about all that l can save out of
my salary after paying this years def
cit on my farm.

"But Mr.. Meredith does not want
TO settle. He wants to put me on

may consider 'snnr judgment" and
as an attempt TO array public opinion
against them.
Ii is admitted that the calling of a
sympathetic strike in the bituminous

supply of the country, would be n
desperate step. but union labor of

timent of his men. do not hesitate ut
times TO throw the entire weight of
their power into the scales.
Must Fight TO Finish.
John Lewis cannot afford to lose
the anthracite strike. He cannot af-
ford to have his men forced back TO
work under unfavorable agreements
He must fight to finish. In a finish
strike the sympathetic walkout always
has been regarded as justifiablc by
the labor unions. In the coal indus
try n sympathetic strike is more
easily arranged than in the usual Ia
Dor dispute for it would not involve
another union. Mr.. Lewis has the
same power in the bituminous fields
that he yields in the anthracite dis
tricts.
Nor is sympathetic strike in the
bituminous fields without precedent.
One was called in 1902 by the late
John Mitchell rs means of helping
the anthracite miners in their ia.
nous struggle. ~
A big element in the situation is the
belief by the mine workers that n
soft coal strike is inevitable next
April 1. Consequently. they feel. that
if sympathetic strike is called ii
will be merely an anticipation of n
work stoppagc at the beginning Of
spring.

such metal; but when it touches gold

In the first years of the operations

later these wooden chests rotted and

is FIGHT TO FINISH
By ROBERT T. SMALL

Copyright. by The San Antonio Light.
New York, Aug. :4.-lf the United
States government carries out Sits
threat to break the anthracite strike
b. providing substitutes for the con-
sumers there is a good ch; nee that the
mine workers will retaliate by calling
a strike in ali OF the bituminous as
well as the hard coal fields. The
strike in the bituminous mires, shut
ting off many of the substitutes upon
which government fuel experts have
been counting to counteract the stop
page of the anthracite supply, would
have TO be sympathetic one. The
soft coal men are working under a
wage agreement which does not ex-
pirc until April l, next. These men.
however, are under the direction of
John l.. Lewis, international presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers. who
has been conducting the anthracite
negotiations.
No hint of the use of the sympathe-
tic strike has come as vet from Mr..
Lewis. but il is being whispered
among men who have had Mr.. Lewis
confidence in matters of equal I'M
portance. Such strike, of course,
would affect the entire nation. II
would leave the country entirely de-
pendent upon the non-union mines in
West Virginia and the South and
Southwest. These mines, working "a
hours a day and with every trans
portation facility provided. could not
begin to supply the industrial and
household needs of the nation.
Miners Resent Official Attitude. p
There is no question but that the
mine workers officials are somewhat
resentful over stories coming ont OF
Washington MS to various activities of
government agencies in connection with
the threatened walkout on September
1. They are rather inclined TO chal-
lenge the right or ;he propriety of the
national coal commission attempting
to six the blame in the anthracite
deadlock for they say the members
of the commission are not in n posi-
ton to fix any blame without n more
thorough study of the 'ituation rs ii
exists today and the history Of the
industry as well. The miners will
