ALLIES REJECT RESERVATIONS

Germany Yields to Coal Demands With Additional Conditions. MUST ANSWER ‘YES' OR 'NO' Premier Orders German Envoys Deliver Unequivocal Reply at Today’s Plenary Session of the Conference —Simons Pleads for Help. Spa, Belgium, July 16. —At today’s plenary session of the allied-German conference, the German delegation must say “Yes” or “No” to the allies’ tinal. note. This ultimatum which orders the Germans to deliver 2,000,000 tons of coal, was communicated to them last night. Earlier in the day'Germany notified the allies that her cabinet had agreed to the demand for 2,000,000 tons of coal monthly under three essential conditions and minor conditions. She also stipulated that she must receive raw materials. The German acceptance was embodied in a note which was laid before the allied premiers by Premier Lloyd George. The essential conditions named were these: First—The German government to have the distribution of the Silesian coal or be allotted 1,500,000 tons monthly for northern Germany instead of the present allottment of 1,200,000 tons. Second—A mixed commission to be sent to Essen to examine food and housing conditions. Third—The allies are asked to advance money or provide credit for importing additional food for the- entire German population. Simons Breaks News. Foreign Minister Simons stent word to Premier Lloyd George about an hour before the allies met that Germany would accede and that a written note would be forwarded immediately. He said that by this means he wdshed to prevent the allies from forwarding the ultimatum to Germany. Consequently the allied ministers knew at 11 o’clock that Gertnany had yielded, but did not know the conditions laid down until almost noon. Herr Simons said that the German ministry had gone to the utmost limit and could do nothing more, so that if the allied military leaders. Marshal Foch and Field Marshal Wilson, still wanted an Invasion of Germany they must have it. Tn "a personal letter to Premier Lloyd George, the foreign minister, It is understood, set forth the German position In detail. Begs Help for Germany. Knowing the attitude of Premiers Lloyd George and Millerand, however, he begged them to help Germany to fulfill her obligations by doing three things: First—By allowing Germany the cash difference between the price of coal at the pit mouth in Germany and the price of coal In the world’s market. Second—By making a generous arrangement with regard to shipping. Third—By giving Germany some security or assurance against the menace of invasion if she should at any time be a little behind in her deliveries. Herr Simons added in his letter: “These are not conditions, but simply an expression of our hope."

STATE NEWS ITEMS

The Doings of Hoosierdom Reported by Wire. CAR PRIORITY BILL PASSED Measure Adopted by the House Gives Power to Public Service Body to Order Full Fuel Supply for State Institutions. Indianapolis, July 16. —Power to order 100 per cent railroad car service for mines supplying state institutions with coal would be conferred on the state public service commission by a bill passed by the house of the Indiana general assembly. The vote was 78 to 15 after rules had been suspended by a vote of 75 to 18, permitting immediate action. The measure was sent to the senate. General applause resulted when Speaker Eschbach, preceding the passage of the bill, which was Introduced by Representative Swain (Rep.), said that “the people have about lost their patience in regard to the coal situation,” and that a speedy remedy should be brought about at once so that the situation will be improved. “I am sorry that we cannot put every coal mine In the state under the jurisdiction of some state commission or board,” said the speaker. “I would like to see the coal prices handled the' same as the rates of water and light are handled.” After favorable action had been taken on the measure, Mr. Eschbach spoke again of the fuel difficulties at present affecting the public. “This is the most unjust comblubtlon of hardships on the poor people of this state that I have ever seen,” he said. “If some statesman will give hW attention to drawing up a law to control this situation and to give the people relief, I will lend every effort to see that it becomes law.” Before taking up the car priority bill the house passed consideration of the institutional appropriation bill temporarily until it can be printed and distributed to the members. Representative Walker was the only Democrat voting for the car service bill. Republicans who voted against the measure w r ere Grayson, Sambor and Smith. The Democrats who voted against the bill were Axby, Barker of Posey, Benz, Bldaman, Craig, Curry, Deem, Lee, O’Leary, O’Neil, Scott and Thomas. Representative O’Neil, who lives at Terre Haute, objected to the measure. He said the miners would hold the sack if the bill was passed, contending that it is unfair to the coal miners, Inasmuch as It would give all the work to the mines having contracts to supply coal for the state. “If the state gets this coal it will pay a dog-goned good price for it,” O’Neil shouted in a moment of fervent argument. O’Neil himself is a miner and he said the minors abandoned their strike for higher wages last winter only because “Judge Anderson would have put us all In jail if we hadn’t.” Representative Decker (Rep.), speaking for the measure, said the railroads now divert cars to mines with which they have contracts and there was no reason why the state should not have power to divert cars to mines supplying state Institutions. “I am proud to vote for this bill,” said Decker. The Republican side of the* house applauded. Representative Craig (Dem.), protested against the haste on the measure and wished ft read In full. Representative Curry (Dem.), said the bill would Interfere with the miners’ plan to have cars alloted yearly to mines, and Representative Deem (Dem.), asked whether the Interstate commerce commission did not have power to make such orders. Mr. Eschbach said, according to press reports, the commission had returned that right to the public service commission. Representative Johnson (Rep.), said he believed it more Important that the unfortunate wards of the state be kept warm next winter than that there should be an distribution of coal contracts or coal cars among the mines. ?
