would support Germany finnm-lnlly or

vision of the Indemnity demand nnd
the carrying out of the restitution pro
visions of the peace treaty.
The Pnn-flennnn organ take o'
raslon to criticize the Wnihlngtnn ml
ministration for Its "insistence upon the
also assertion that (Scrinniiy brought
on the war nnd must accept the re
Hponsibillty for It." The onh llcht
seen by the press ok a whole Is in the
phrase declaring that Grrnmnj is
"morally lmuml to make reparation, .
far ns may bo possible." TliU lend
the confervntive Kreuc Zeitung to
entertain the hope that further negntla
tlons will establish Germany's conten
tion that she has been taxed be; nnd
her ability to pay. The newspaper is
pessimistic, however, over the prospect
of finding unbiased experts to fix the
.limit or (iermnny s pnying ability
lhp .liegemeinilc .cluing, controlled
by Hugo Slinncs. expresses the nptn-'in
ion thnt America is on the wrong ronil
in reiterating the moral rospousibilii.
of (iermnny for the war. and thinks i
that the I'nlted Statea "one da must l
recognirc the injustice of this one-sided
view."
"French imperialism." it declares,
"alma at the economic hegeinoiij of
Europe."
The Deutsche Zcltung utters a wurn
3ng Against the ussumptiou "that Amer
ican thought is yet free from French
nnd English influence." nnd the I.okal
Anxclger adds to this the suggestion
that the influence of rieno Vivian! Is
apparent, and that the note should bo
accepted with proper reserve.
The Freiheit. the Independent So
cialist organ, declares thnt the Gor
man foreign office, "which no longer
seems, able to handle even the simplest
diplomatic matters without bluuder
iiiC," assumed a most naivo conception
of America In Its communication to
Washington, which the newspaper In
terpets as n bid for friendship, at n
time, it says, "wheti a child could see
that America it more friendly toward
the Entente states than toward ?er
many." It can see no possibility of
any good outcome from such ex
changes. The lied Flag, the Communist organ,
concludes its brief comment on the com
munication with this sentence:
"The hope of the Herman bourc
gcolslc has been shattered."

CHARLES AT LAST
LEAVES HUNGARY
Formor Emperor Departs After
Statemont Maintaining
Claims to Throne
ON WAY TO SWITZERLAND
II- the Assorhlcd Pre
HiiitopeM. April r.. Former Km
peror Charles departed from Stelnn
ninnger, In West Itungnry near the
Austrian border, nt M:.5 o'clock this
morning on his wn) out of Hungary.
I remler Teleky made this announce
ment In the National Assembly this
i afternoon.
Vicuna, April .", (Ily A. P.) A
special train with the Austrian official
escort for the cx-euiperor was in wnlt
tig nt the Hungarian border this morn
ing at the request of the lludapest Oov
eminent. The roitlc to be taken bv
( harles through Austria Is understood
to bo b way of Crnetz, Innsbruck and
I'oMMroh to Muchs. Swltrerland.
The ox -monarch has quite an impos
ing escort. In addition to two officers
nnd eight men of ihe Volkswehr. ho
has with him slxtecd member of the
police force, a representative of the
Austrian foreign office, three Entente
officers, Albert Seier, former governor
of Vienna; Herr Mueller, n Christian
Socialist member nf the nxsemblv. and
a tinlf -dozen Hungaiinu nobles In his
personal suite, with n ph)sclnn for at
tendance shoutd he require the service
of one.
The detailing of the Volkswehr guard
caused the resignation of Minister nf
the Interior dlaz. according to the
Helchpost. Dr. (ilnz refused lo sign the
necessnry pavers, declaring he regarded
the sending of the detainment ns an
intuit to n royal person.
Yesterday Charles reached a com
promise with the present Hungarian
Government by which he agreed to leave
Hungnry, but with the permission to
issue a proclamation to the people do
larlng that he maintained his elnlm to
the throne of Hungary and only folded
to the force of circumstances. At the
snnio time he expressed fullest con
fidence in the political cupaclty of the
iiuiigannn people.
It was enrl in February thnt the
world first learned former Emperor
Charles had dreams of returning to the
throne of Hungnry. On February 12
special cables contained news of a letter
dated in Jnnunry and addressed to
Johann Esernoeh, primate of Hungary,
in which Charles expressed his belief
that allied opposition to his restoration
hnd greatly decreased nnd that he
planned to return to Hungary In March.
Although the letter created some
thing of a sensation In Hungary, the
outside world did not take it very seri
ously, and It was with considerable
surprise that the announcement was re
ceived on March 'Jll that ChnrleH had
been in Vienna the preceding Sunday
and had had a conference with mon
archists there.
From Vlennn the former monarch
went to Hudnpcst, capital of Hungary,
but left that city shortly upon the re
quest of the authorities,
Charles returned to Stelnainnnger, on
the western border of Hungnry nenr
Austria, where he remained for the next
several dajs while rumors Hew thick
and fast, some thnt he was raising a
monarchist army to march on Itudapc&t
and others that he was leaving for
Switzerland, whence he came, nt once.
The reception mot by the deposed
ruler in his native land was not en
couraging, ns even the monarchists con
sidered his venture prcmnture. The
government nf Admiral Horthy in Hilda
pest demanded that he leno Hunger at
once and the allied representatives in
Budapest backed up the Horthy regime
with threats of allied action.
For a time Switzerland threatened to
close her doors to the rojnl uilvontirror
beonuse he had broken his word not to '
leave that country, where ho had been !
allowed nn nsylum upon hli original de
thronement. I

Quostion of Uniting With Miners
Discussod Threo Hours
Without Decision
MINE CONTROL POSTPONED
Ily the Associated Press
London, April f!. For three hours
this morning the 400 delegates of the
National Transport Workers' Federa
tion, assembled here to consider the al
titude nf the organization toward the
strike of the Tlrltlsh miners, debated
Ihe slrlkc nutation without reaching it
decision. The conferees adjourned
shortly nfter noon until 10:.'M) o'clock
Wednesday morning.
During the session the transport
workers' delegates heard the viewpoints
of the leaders presented, together
with those of oilier prominent labor
men, including John It. Clynes, chair
man of the parliamentary Inbnr party.
This afternoon the national executive
board of the transport workers con
tinued consideration In secret session of
the question of Joining the miners in
Ihelr strike. The executive body will
probably hnve recommendations to offer
us to the trnnspnrt men's nttltude nt
tomorrow's plenary session nf the dele
gnte body.
Informal nnd nrlvnfe negotiations be
tween the government nnd leaders nf the
Miners' I'nlon relntlve to n settlement
of the strike began last night, snys n
definite announcement published today
by the Daily Sketch. The newspnper de
clares these conversations were carried
en through an Intermediary who was
persona gratn with both sides. The
Dally Mail hints thnt llnrou George
Ilnnkin Askwlth. who hns appeared as
arbitrator In many trade disputes, may
be the Intermediary who is acting.
Meanwhile there has been no devia
tion from tbo uncompromising "fight
to the finish" nttltude which appar
ently has been tnken by tlio thron par
ties to the controversy the miners, the
owners nnd the government. From rep
resentatives of each there have been
doclnrutlons of a wlflingneps to make
any reasonable concessions in order to
nvert a general industrial tie-up, but
no one thus far has volunteered to tukn
the first slop toward n resumption of
negotiations.
While ropresentntlvos of the press
wrre slrictly excluded from this morn
ing's meeting of the transport mon'n
delegates it was noticeable that John
It. Clynes. chairman of the parliamen
tary labor party, and other speakers
similarly regarded ns inodcrntcs. failed
to evoke the same measure of applause
nnd enthusiasm given tn other speakers
known to have leanings toward direct
action.
The delegates nt today's conference
were unmistakably In bad humor and
apparently there wns litre to wnrrnnt
hopes of .in amicable outcome of tomor
row's "decision" meetings of the trans
port delcgntcs nnd the National I'nlon
of Railway .Men.
.Sir Robert Home, the new chancellor
of the exchequer, speaking in the IIou.'o
of Commons today concerning the stop
page of coal mining, painted n gloomy
picture of the results of this strike. He
declared a stoppage of coal production
nt this time was far more serious than
would ordinarily be the ease. ,
"We had just come through a winter1
of the most serious depression nnd were
inly Just discerning the first flicker of
reviving trails when this took plnoo."
the chancellor declared. "That flicker
hns been extinguished and when 11 may
be relighted no man can say. The ef
fect Is not merely on our general trade
and Industry, but on the coal Industry
Itself, which will suffer the most serloim
disaster.
"A result of the Inst strike wns to
rob us of many markets to which our
coal used to go. For tlio first time in
history American coal come to Europe
in large quantities nnd the opposition
miiy iuy rnc uinnio wuerc it may. but
the fact Is incontestable. Ton million
