WILL ASK FOR DISAVOWAL
Germany Has Been Making Ready
Since War Scare in December
Army and Navy Officials
Put Heads Together.
SPECIAL CABLE.
BERLIN. Feb. 6. At the Foreign Ottlce
this afternoon it was said that Germany
would ask England for an explanation
of the provocative anti-German speech
made at East Leigh, February 2. by
Arthur H. Lee, Civil Lord of the Ad
miralty, in which he said that Britain
would smash an unnamed enemy In the
North Sea before that enemy had time to
realize that war had been declared. The
Foreign Oifice said:
"We hope that nothing will result from
Lee's speech. We prefer to believe he
spoke more as a naval export than as a
statpumnn nr o.ihinet officer. Yet it is
Impossible not to put a political construc
tion nnnn ht utterances. We shall. Of
course, take up the matter."
From other sources it was learned that
Mr. Lee's statements have caused con
sternation and activity in all depart
mcnts of the German government. The
Kaiser and Count von Buelow were in
conference yesterday and today, and it la
understood that the German Ambassador
in London Is already In possession of
nosltive Instructions to demand a dis
avowal of Lee's speech.
H can be stated on the highest author
ity that Germany has been prepared for
war with England ever since the -scare
provoked by the Army and Navy Gazette
of London In December. PJan3, which did
not exist completely before that date.
have been finished for Joint naval and
military action. These plans were dis
cussed in great detail at the New Year's
banquot of the commanding Generals of
tho Germany army, which was attended
for the first time by Prince Henry of
Prussia in his canacity of head of the
navy.
friend of Prince Louis of Battenberg. said
to the Associated Press today:
"There Is none worthier than Prince
Louis of Battenberg of a hearty recep
tion by the American Navy and ueoDle.
He Is a most stanch admirer arfd friend
of America, and his visit will afford an
opportunity for the return of the compli
ments he has heaped on American naval
officers on the occasion of their visits to
England."
Prince Louis Is now In Germany on a
short visit. He will return In a fortnight
and take command of the squadron.
SILESIAN MINERS BACK AT WORK
Government Bill to Regulate Mines
Satisfies Their Demands.
BERLIN, Feb. 6. Two or three thou
sand coal miners who struck in the Sile-
sian district returned to work today, be
lieving that the government's bill now In
preparation "will readjust their relations
with their employers. The government s
proposed law limits the "working day to
nine hours in galleries where the tem
peratures are above 70 degrees Fahren
heit, including the time going in and
coming out of the mines. In tempera
tures of S4 degrees Fahrenheit and higher
only a six-hour day Is permitted. "Within
two or three years the nine-hour day Is
to be shortened to eight and a half hours.
About nine-tenths of the miners of Ger
many come within these provisions.
The disallowing of entire cars of coal
because of the presence of foreign sub
stances Is to be forbidden. Fines may be
assessed, but these must not exceed 51
to $1.50 per month. Overtime will be paid
for at tho highest rate.
Workmen's committees Ehall be recog
nized by mineowners as representing the
men.
Making tho present condition of the
miners worse in any particular than It Is
now Is forbidden.
Hcrr Sachl, a member of the Reich
stag, speaking at an immense meeting of
miners at Essen yesterday, said that the
government's bill only concerned four
out of 14 demands of the strikers, and
was not fully satisfactory.
Lee Thinks He Has Talked Enough
LONDON. Feb. 6. Arthur Hamilton
Lee. Civil Lord of the Admiralty, speak
inp tonight at Gosport, said that he de-
clinpdelo make any reply to German com
monts on his East Leigh speech.
WIL'L SAVE RUSSIA'S DIGNITY
Probable Result of North Sea Inquiry
Forecasted by Commissioners.-
SPECIAL. CABLE.
PARIS. Fob. 7. The statement is made
in official circles here that proof will be
placed before the North Sea Inquiry Com
mission that the Baltic fleet fired upon the
private yacht of the King of Greece,
which was proceeding from Denmark to
France.
One of the foreign members of the- Com
mission is-- authority for the statement
that, according to official anticipation
the final decision of the commission will
be such as "to enable the Russians to
walk out with their heads erect."
"It is believed," the Commissioner add
ed, "that the Russians acted In good faith
but that the continuance of their Are for
fuUy-nine mlnptcs is-a point against them
that may fall heavily In the scales."
MINE-OWNERS ARE OBSTINATE
Reject Overtures foe Conference and
General Resumption of Work.
ESSEN. Feb. 6. The committee of seven
today addressed a telegram to the Mine
owners' Association politely asking an In
tervicw for n discussion of the five points
in the operatives' aemands. which the
committee believed would lead to a re
sumption of work. The association Te
plied with equal politeness, declining to
receive the committee, alleging that It did
not represent the operatives, since it was
unable to control their actions. The as
soclatlon was willing only to discuss rea
sonabte complaints after work was re
sumcd.
After -getting this reply, Johann Effert,
chairman of the committee of seven, tele
graphed to Chancellor von Buelow. In
forming him of the fruitless correspond
ence with the association, making certain
moderate demands for the operatives and
stating that work would perhaps be re
sumed immediately If a conference were
commenced. The Chancellor answered
that. If work were resumed, he would re
celve representatives of the operatives
and employers for further negotiation,
The committee decided that It was un
able to advise the miners to resume, but
would leave the matter to the conference
of delegates of the whole mining dlstric
which will meet on Thursday.

PRINCE OF WALES NOT COMING
But British Cruiser Squadron Wi
Visit American Ports.
LONDON, Feb. C No British cruiser
squadron Is leaving England at the end
of February on a cruise around the world
under the command of the Prince of
"Wales. The Admiralty official who gav
this denial of the story added that no
preparations were making at present for
any cruise by tho Prince of "Wales.
As King Edward expects to go to the
Mediterranean early In March, and pos
slbly to extend his trip to Egypt, it is
not at all likely that the Prince of "Wales
will undertake along Journey at the same
time. The second cruiser squadron,
commanded by Rear-Admiral Louis of
Battenberg, will be Inspected by the King
off Portsmouth at the end of the month,
and it will then start on a cruise of sev
eral months with the object of showing
the British flag in distant waters. Tho
nquadron will visit American ports among
others.
The exact date and details of the squad
ron's cruise in American waters have not
yet been decided, but it will follow a
three months' cruise in the Mediterra
nean. Captain Stockton, the American
naval attache, expects to receive shortly
the itinerary from the Admiralty, and
after that will take up the matter with
the Navy Department at "Washington.
