QUARTERS OF GUARDSMEN ARE WHOLLY UNSUITABLE Gen. Stephan to Make Plea for Support—Quick Action Desired. Building of a combination armory for the National Guard of the Dis- trict of Columbia and a convention thall here is to be sought by the guard committee of the Washington Chamber of Commerce. The move- ment was started on its way today, following a visit to and inspection of the armory last night by the National Guard committee. The conditions under which the guard is attempting to reorganize its forces were observed by the business men who are members of the commit- tee, and they decided that work must begin immediately and be pushed until authorization for such a building be- comes a reality. The committee was shown through the armory by Brig. Gen. Anton Stephan, commanding general of the local militia forces. Immediate Action Urged. So serious are the lack of proper facilities for the guard that the com- mittee has voted to ask the board of directors of the chamber at its next meeting to seek immediately legisla- tion to provide promptly proper and udequate temporary facilities for the heusing and training of the young men of the city. The provision for temporary quarters Is to be pressed until results are ob- tained. Then it is the purpose of the members of the committee to work un- til a permanent building is provided where the members of the militia will have sufficient and adequate space and housing to enable them to receive effi- cient training. Following its action to seek perma- nent quarters for the guard, the com- mittee decided to conduct a campaign to bave the chamber get the active and moral support, as well as the co- operation, of the business men of the city in the upbuilding of the local militia forces. The actual number of enrollments now is 201, but provision is made for a force of 2,700 men here, and to get this force those in charge Fintered as second-class matter post_office Washington, | 1,200,000 COAL MINERS D. C. ON STRIKE pathy Walk-Out by By the Associated Pres LONDON, April 1.—All work ceased in the coal mines of the United King- dom at midnight with the exception of a very few districts and approxi- mately 1,200,000 miners were idle to- | day as a result of the controversy| over the wage issue. In only two col- lieries in Yorkshire. one in Northum- | berland, one in Scotland and one in North Wales the men have promised to continue at their posts without prejudice to any terms that may be agreed upon, but all other pit work- ers, including mechanics, pump men, ventilating men and pony men, came | out with the miners. Danger that the mines may be flooded threatens, and many may be irretrievably ruined from the inrush of water. Strenuous efforts are being made everywhere to enroll volunteers. Yorkshire pump men have decided to remain at work, and hope was ex- pressed today that others would fol- low their exampple. The first effect of the strike has been the placing of orders with American coal merchants. WILL SUBMIT BASIS FOR REORGANIZING Chairman Smoot of Joint Committee Ready With Re- port on U. S. Departments. A survey of all the government de- partments has been practically com- pleted by Senator Smoot of Utah, chairman of the joint committee on government reorganization, and will be ready for the committee when it reassembles upon the opening of Congress. The survey., which covers the number of employes in the various divisions and bureas of all the departments, the character of work they are doing and the kind of work they are supposed to do under the law .will be a basis for the joint com- mittee to work upon in framing its recommendations for reorganisation of the government service.

IN ENGLAND Railroad Employes York state that a flood of orders from Kuropeam countries which normally have form- ed the British market has been re- ceived there, and, although the coun- try's stock of coal is estimated at 1,000,000 tons, the price of household fuel ' already has risen two shil- lings per ton. London and other urban centers are believed to have several weeks' supply on hand, ow- ing to the fact that export of coal has been completely stopped by the board of trade, except in cases where special permits have been issued. Apprehension is felt that the Na- tignal Union of Railway Men and the Transport Workers' Union, with the miners in the labor dispute, may be tempted to strike in sympathy with the coal diggers. In such an event, the nation would be confronted by a crisis of unprecedented gravity. | One of the largest wards in London took precautionary steps yesterday and formed a company of special po- lice to protect property. Orders were issued last night to employes of vari- ous government departments to “stand | by” to report for transport duty, if necessary. STA00ALIMONY FORMRS.

Wants This Country to Pro- pose Workable Peacg Plan, Is Belief. BY N. 0. MESSENGER. Republican senators are follawing with deep interest M. Viviani's “pil- grim’s progress” in his sounding out of American sentiment on an assocla- tion of nations fimilar to the league of the Versaillas treaty. They ob- | Serve that thus far the distinguished pilgrim to thess shores has been in contact mainly with senators who are not in sympathy with his presumed mission in behalf of the league, nota- Cormick. This is described as largely a coin- cidence, however, as these senators are conversant with the French lan- guage, and make discourse easy with the visitor from France. The coinci- dence is not regarded as regrettable by those senaters, it is assumed, as it gives them ghe “first say” in de- scribing sentiment in this country, as they hold it to exist. Moral Support Needed. It is dawning upon senators that the visitor is at the outset stressing, not the league of nations, but the necessity of the moral support of France by the United States ‘in the present crisis over German repara- tions and the strengthening of France's security .against possible future trouble with Germany. From well informed sources comes the statement that in his interview with President Harding M. Viviani made an impassioned declaration of the present financial and industrial condition of France—not with any suggestion of cancellation of France's debt to the United States, but bear- ing upom the necessity of Germany ing to a wireless message at 7:15 a.m. | meeting her reparation obligations from the steamer West Hartland, .n§ of the United States lending which is bringing the survivors to}moral ‘support to ‘France in her de- [HUNGARY WARNED bly Senators Lodge.

CONTRARY TO PRINCIPLES FOR WHICH WAR WAGED Reports Fail to Confirm Ex-King's March on Budapest—Return to Switzerland Considered. By the Associated Press. PARIS, April 1L—Warning was given Hungary today by the allies that the restoration of the Hapsburg dynasty would entail disastrous con- sequences for the Hungarian nation. This warning, issued through the council of ambassadors, constituted a virtual ultimatum from the chief allied powers, including Great Britain, France, Italy and their lesser associ- ates. It was given an additional point by the fact that it was communicated officially to the allied states by which Hungary is surrounded—Czechoslo- vakia, Jugoslavia, Rumania and Po- land, at least the first three of which, comprising_the “little entente,” have declared themselves ready to take Hapsburg restoration. Little Entente Prepared. “The events of which Hungary is the theater,” the allied resolution read, “place the principal allied powers un- (der obligation to recall to the govern- ment and the people of Hungary the terms of their declaration of Febru- ary 4, 1920. (In this declaration the council of ambassadors declared the principal allied powers considered that restoration of the Hapsburg dy- nasty would not be consistent with the principles for which the war had been fought and at variance with the whole basis of the peace settlement and that such restoration “would be neither recognized nor- tolerated by them.") “Faithful to the principles enunci- ated in that declaration,” continue the resolutions, “the allies have the duty to repeat that the restoration of the Hapsburgs would imperil the very foundation of the peace. and that it could be neither recognized nor tol- erated. . “The allied powers count upon the 'Hungarian government, conscious of [the: gravity of the situation that iwould be ereated by the return to the throne of the former sovereign, to 5 want to see that quarters are provided | in the matter of framing any legis- He also ruled out let- Seattle. mands for reparation. {take efficacious measures to suppress m mac, G.

Plans were drawn years ago for an extensive armory here for the local National Guard, but money could never be obtained to carry them to completion. Those familiar with the problem of public buildings now, and particularly those on the guard com- mittee of the chamber, express the belief that it will be useless to seek money with which to carry out these plans. Therfeore, they will concen- trate on the combination building, which can be used for accommoda ing the many conventions which come te the Capital city annually and do ments or divisions of the government service, and also by a reduction in the number of employes in various departments and bureaus. In some of them there are too many employes today.” < Takes Up Reeclassifieation. ' Senator"Smoot as a member of the Senate appropriations committee, has been working on the problem of re- classification of the government em- ployes also.
