A General Observance of the Day Throughout Italy Services In th Churches. Rome, Nov. 11. Throughout Italy today was celebrated the thirty-third birthday of the king.

Ill has changed greariy in the two years that hp has occupied th.e throne of his father and grandfather. Two years ago he scarce ly made a statement destined for pub Hclty that did not express or Imply his correct conduct as a thoroughly constitutional monarch and servant of the people. Men who knew him in tlmately whispered among themselves that he even had socialistic procllvi- ties. Then gradually a change began to show Itself. Ho became more re served, more self-conscious more of a king. He talked more about what his father and grandfather had done for Italy, and how he would coniplete their -work. His attitude toward Ital ians was. no longer ihtft of a gifted favored elder brother, but of a father. Nevertheless, his development thus far had beon of natural, native growth and purely the work of varied Italian influence. Then last August came his visit to Berlin and Potsdam, and a revolution In his delicately constituted person ality was wrought. Whether this rev. olution has extended beneath the sur face or -whother it will pleaso the Italian remains to be seen. But for good or 111. for a long or a brief period, he has now the indomitable, exalted Hohenzollern pose, which has manifested Itself recently in his se vere conduct toward his uncles and cousins.

"WILL NOT PERMIT ANY ORGANIZATION TO LIMIT HIS RIGHT OF EMPLOYMENT. Declares That Since the Advent of the United Mine Workers Into the An thracite Fields, Business Conditions Are Intolerable The Output Is Decreased, Discipline Destroyed and Strikes Are Almost of Dally Oc- Washington, D. C, Nov. 11. Re corder Wright made public this morn ing Baer's" answer to President Mitch ell. It is a general, denial of each clause of Mitchell's' statement. He characterizes the demand for an In crease of wages as arbitrary, unrea sonable and unjust. Denies that there lsny similarity in the anthracite and bituminous mining. Ho Is positive that tho present wages are sufficient to offset the in creased cost to sustain the miners by American methods of living. He further says that there Is no other mining region In the world where there are so many comforts, facilities for education and genial, advantage ous, profitable employment. No children are employed at a younger age than provided by law. He sums up by saying that any In crease of wages means an increase In the price of coal to the public, which will seriously affect the indus tries using anthracite to compete with those using bituminous. The United Mine Workers Is pri marily a bituminous organization and bituminous competes with anthracite. Since the advent of that Order into" the anthracite fields business condi tions were Intolerable. The output was decreased, discipline destroyed and strikes were almost of dally oc currence. The men worked when and as they pleased and the cost of production had been greatly increas ed. He avers that the commission's investigation concerned matters af fecting men as employes only, thus excluding the United Mlno Workers of America from any part or recogni tion in the proceedings. "When a labor organization is cre ated and limited to the workers of the anthracite fields, which will obey the laws of the land and respect the rights of every man to work whether he belongs to a union or not, and shall honestly co-operate with the em ployers in securing good work, ef ficiency and discipline, then trade agreements may become practical. ""This company does not and will not discriminate against any man be longing to the United Mine Workers or to any other labor organization so long as he does satisfactory work. The operators are law-abiding but will at all times employ any person they see fit and will not permit any labor organization to limit their right of employment to members of a cer tain organization."

After reviewing the work of tho Eighteenth Infantry in tho prov ince of Panay, General Hughes said: "It has thus been shown that Eight eenth regulars had no order to burn all towns from which they wero at tacked, and that they did not lcavo n strip of laud t0 miles wide from ono end o fthe island to the other, which the traditional crow could not have down without provisions.
