MACON. Ga. August 2l.-On the
theory announced by police and coun-
ty officials that the three Hudson
brothers, arrested Sunday night while
fogging a negro, were being paid by

RUHR LABOR ROWS
PLEASING TO FRENCH
See Chance of Workmen Deserving
Employers and Turning
to Foe.
BY the Associated Press.


DUESSELDORF, August 2l.-The
belief was expressed in French circles
here today that the constant fruitless
bick ering between the German work
men in the Ruhr and their employers
over the question of wages may re
suit in the desertion of large numbers
of the workmen tG the French side in
the Ruhr struggle. AS an example Of
the fruit the dissatisfaction is bearing.
the French cite the fact that twenty
seven German railroad men took en-
ploynent with the French railway
regime yesterday.
A similar restieSSness is reaching
a crisis, according to the French,
among other classes of the workers,
particularly the miners. who have
been told by the mine owners that
their wages cannot be increased be-
cause even now the price of German
coal is almost double that of the
English product. The miners. never
theless, are continuing at many
places to agitate for higher wages
and intimating that if their condition
becomes much worse they may try
the French as employers.
So far no such action has been re
ported among the miners, but the
French profess to see in such threats
the promise of a Favorable develop
ment for them if the situation of the
miners becomes aggravated.

LONDON, August 21.-Great Britain
Is prepared to recognize King George
Of Greece and resume normal diplo-
matte relations Whenever a stable
constitutional government is estab-
lished and Greece gives certain
pledges concerning fulfillment of her
obligations to England. This state
ment was made in authoritative quar-
ters today following receipt of dis
patches intimating that France was

regime in Athens.
In official circles it was explained
that however much the British gov
ernment might desire to recognize the

who is the daughter of Queen Marie
Of Rumania and niece of King George
of England, it could scarcely be ex-
pected to put the seal of it's approval

widened the breach.
Poincare assumed, according to this.
there would come a secret form Of
document, but 1t didn't. 1t was pub
lie, and the French and Belgians
openly rejected it. with notes to which
Lord Curzon replied with the most
scorching note he had yet written.
This note was also issued publicly,
and ended the rather "dyspeptic" Sc
cret correspondence between the two
nations and brought their secretly
divergent jousting of the past two
months into the open.
Poincare's reply to the latest Curzon
note will be mainly a repetition of
the French premier's incontrovertible
theories contained in the yellow
books document No. 81, originally
penned on June 29.
If Curzon replies to that note it will
probably be in the form of a repeti-
tion of his own incontrovertible
theories. contained in the British note
received in Paris week ago.
Meanwhile Europe wonders how long
the fate of the continent will be tied
up in penmanship duel between the
