P.)—The remarks of Alanson B. Houghton, Amer- ican ambassador to Germany, on the oc- casion of the farewell dinner tendered him in New York last week prior to his departure for Berlin, are given unusual prominence by the German newspapers. Some of the nwspapers hail Mr. Houghton as “a peace ambassador, whose sentiments assure him a hearty welcome.” The Lokal Anzeiger, the In- dustrialist organ, says: “The new ambassador’s utterances af- ford a pleasing contrast to the hateful and venomous forensie products of some of our other former foes. We trust Mr. Houghton will be able to carrp out the White House policies which were re- flected in his decfaration.” “Mr. Houghton's words,” &ays the Vossische Zeitung, “may count on fa- vorable reception, no tonly because of thelr sympathetic sentiments, but chief- Iy because of the fundamental signifi- cance involved in the positive manner in which he rejects discussion of the ques- tlon of war gullt as expressed in -the Versailles treaty. We may not be able to agree over the issues of the past, but this should not prevent an understand- ing on the problems of the future.” TWO MATRONS GUARDING MISS OLIVIA M. P.

GENERAL REVIEW OF THE COAL STRIKE SITTATION (By The Associated Press.) The second’ day of the country-wide coal strike passed quietly with both sides preparing for the first test of strength which was_expected today. Union officials maintained that 600~ 000 wjen, of whim 100,000 were non- union miners, were idle Taturday and that 6,200 mines were closed, only some 1,500 open shop pits beinz in opera- tion. While not disputing these fizures, op- erators declared many of these men would return to work today, as Sat- urday was observed as a holiday, the anniversary of the granting of the eight- hour mines. West Virginia operators, also. were reported preparing to reopen unionized mines on an open shop basis. In the main, however, both sides were expected to observe tacit truce, and make no effort for the time being to operate the mines. The miners are supplying the engineers and pumpers necessary to protect the pits from . flooding. In the meantime the eves of the coun- try will be turned to Washingtin, where John L. Lewls, International president of the miners, will appear before a con- gressional committee to testify regard- Ing strike issues. Governmental officials have held that only the existence of an emergency could fustify government in- tervention and that such an emergency does mot exist at this time because of adequate supplies of coal on hahd throughout the country. Reports from most of the unionized flelds indicated that Sunday passed quietly as usual. In many sections an exodus from mining to other industrics was Indicated by reports, and thousands were expected to drift away .rom the coal fields affected by the strike dur- ing the week.
