Peter and Paul Lithuanian Church, in that city, to which position he was appointed this week by Bishop O'Hara, of the Scranton Diocese. The departure of Father Miliauskas is very much regretted by the members of St. Casimir's parish, as will as many other friends of the young priest in this community, he having made a good impression by his faithfulness in his priestly duties and his pleasant personality. He had recently been elected a director of the United Charities and gave evi dence of interest in the work of that organization that promised to make him a useful member.

His selection lor the Hazleton pastorate is a tribute lo executive ability and to the excellent record that he has made during his service as assistant pastor in this city. Father Miliauskas was a resident of Forest City before entering the priesthood. He was educated at St. Bonu vonture's College, Allegheny. and immediately after being ordained in the Cathedral at Scranton hy Bishop Hoban, was appointed assistant to Father Kassakaitis in this city.

ALLIED LENIENCY By RAYMOND CLAPPER, (tXlTF.I rilKSS STAFF COKHFSI nNllKXT. I Washington, April 30. Germany's attempt to drive a wedge between the new Harding Administration and the Allies has failed flatly, it became known today.

As President Warding and Secretary of State Hughes proceeded in dealing with the intricate reparations muddle, they are dcetcrtnined upon one thing: They will not forget that the United States fought on the side of the Allies in the World War against Germany. "resident Harding finds it inadvisable to urge any degree of leniency toward Germany in the negotiations. This is the broad position taken by the Harding Administration in its ef for to find a way by which Germany can be held to her promise to niaKc good the devastation she wrought during the war and at the same time prevent adoption of a drastic course which might ultimately cost the Allies more than they could hope to gain. The obvious deduction to be drawn is that President Harding has decided he will not be placed in the position of a neutral umpire mediating between he Allies and Germany.

SENATOR LOOGE HINTS AT A SEPARATE PEACE Washington. April 30.

A treaty of peace with Germany probably will follow the passage of the Koox resolution declaring an end of the war between the United Stales and Germany, Senator Lodge told the Senate today.

FACTS ABOUT ANTHRACITE For every ton of coal marketed in the anthracite industry about eighteen tons of water are hoisted and one quarter of a ton of air must be pumped into the mine. For every ton of anthracite produced, eleven ounces of explosives and about seven board feet of lumber are used. In many mines, for every ton of coal hoisted, one half ton of rock and other refuse is hoisted.

Pumps in anthracite mines have a hoisting capacity of X23, 64 1.120 gal Jons of water every twenty four hours. This is equal to the water consumption of Philadelphia every two and or hnlf days. It is enough water to till the tank of every locomotive in the United States twice a day. One careful estimate of the excava tion in anthracite mines every year in new workings, is 105 miles of timbered gangways and tunnels. Thi is equivalent to a subway from Philadelphia to New York and back.

Everj three years the anthracite miners remove more material than the United Slates government handled in ter. years at the Panama Canal. PASTORAL The Rev. Vincent .1. Nanorta.

JOY At Washington. April 30. The United States finds no alternative than the adoption of the principle that no foreign capital may operate in American oil lands unless its government accords similar privileges to American citizens, William Phillips. American Minister at The Hague, says in a note which he handed the Netherlands Minister for Foreign Affairs on April 10 by direction ot Secretary Hughes. the note is in the nature ot a protest against the granting of a monopoly for the development of the Djuni oi nil fields in the Dutch Bast Indies to a company "in which foreign capital other than American is so largely interested." "My Government." says Mr.

Phil lips, "attaches the highest importance to the recognition of the principles of reciprocity and equal opportunity in the solution of the oil problem, as well as the extension to American capitay uigaoiKt uiiuei l'uicu law in ine same privileges and benefits which are granted to other foreign capital similarly organized under the laws of The "You will recollect," he added, "that on Jan. 31 you were good enough to advise me that my impressions had been accurately reported tq my Gov ernment and that I had exaggerated the favorable attitude of the colonial department which represented that of yonr excellency's government." Since that time the matter has been taken up in the Dutch Parliament and it is understood that the American note was dispatched after it became ipparent thai favorable action on the bill under which the bid of the Stan dard Oil Co. for a concession would be barred. Presentation of the note followed informal conferences between Mr. Phillips the Dutch government extending over a period of 12 months Hid having to do with the efforts of American capital to obtain a conces sion in the Sumatra oil region.

The Standard Oil Co. had submitted a bid for a concession in that region. The contention of the State Depart ment, it is understood, is that the company to which the concession for the development of the Djainbi fields is to be granted, is largely financed by British capital. At the Dutch lega tion, however, it was said, that the Batavia Oil which is to furnish half of the capital for the developing company, is controlled by Dutch money. Mr.

Phillips said in his note that in interviews with the minister of the colonies he had gained the impression! that the colonial departmerifsrt leat was inclined to favor the imrtioipation of American capital in the development of the Djambi fields," and that he had so reported to his Government. The Hague. April 30. The second chamber of Parliament by a vote of 40 to 30 adopted the Diambi oil field bill, thus barring the bid of the Standard Oil Co. for a concession in the Sumatra oil region.

The bill provides for the exploitation of the valuable oil lands for periods of 40 years by combination of the Dutch Indian government and the Batavia Oil the latter belonging to the Shell group. The capital of 10. 000,000 guilders will be equally divided, but the company will be under control of the Dutch government. The board of directors must all be Dutchmen. Its president, vice president and one other member of the board of directors are to be nominated by the Dutch minister of the colonies, under the provisions of the bill.

Boston, April 30. Realizing that he is not securing the best results from his galaxy of stars. Manager Miller Huggins, of the New York Americans, has decided to make several shifts in his line up today to see if the changes will cause the entire machine to work belter and with more success against their opponents. When the Yankees take the field this afternoon against the Red Sox at Fenway Park, .1. Franklin Baker, deposed home run king, but still conceded to be one ot the best hot corner guardians in organized baseball, will replace Kiln Ward at third base.

Ward will cover the keystone sack, while "Chick" Fewster will be benched. Ward can cover second base with the same skill he has shown at the hot corner, which assures Manager Huggins of a good innerworks, with Pipp at first, ward at second, Pockinpaugh at short and Baker at third. Ping Bodie, who has guarded the center pasture for the Yankees so long ind so faithfully, will en" Hawks will be tried in center, and should he fail, then Huggins will have to resort to another means to bolster up his outer defense. It was not without a long and serious talk that Huggins decided to make the change of Baker for Ward on third, moving the last named over to cover the beat of Fewster. Huggins believes that Chick will yet prove one of tin greatest infielders in the game.

At present, however, it is felt that the strain of playing every day is wearing him down, and therefore the change has been made. Baker, according to the statement made 'by Huggins, may not shine defensively at first, nor is it expected that he will baiter down the fences when he faces the rival pitchers. There is little doubt, however, that he will start off, and when the hot weather arrives will be in good condition to carry on. Allowing for a remote possibility, should Baker fail, then Johnny 'Mitchell will be shoved in at second, with Ward back to his post nearest home. EPIDEMIC OF MEASLES.

Schuylkill Haven, April 30. An epidemic of measles is spreading to such an extent that theaters. schools, churches and public places may be closed Monday. TOO LATE FOR CIiASSIFICATlON By LLOYD ALLEN London, April 30. Fifty coal mines already have been destroyed by flooding, it was officially reported today, and it is believed the entire structure of the British industry is collapsing under the pressure of the miners' strike.

Further evidence of the growing industrial paralysis was shown in these conditions: Only 14 steel furnaces are operating, of a total of 500. Train schedules have been reduced 50 per cent. All express trains have been discontinued. A curfew law is being planned for all ightiug. Daylight saving is to be extended another hour.

The country is expected soon to he dependent upon foreign coal. A cargo of German coal, shipped by way of Holland, was unloaded at Ipswitch under police protection. and hunger are growing as the buisiness depression increases. The of charitable institutions is being taxed by the plight of the fam lies of many workers thrown out of employment as a direct result of the strike. After the miners' final rejection of he government's offer of a $50,000, '00 subsidy officialdom became ex nicrely pessimistic of Ihe possibility )f an early settlement.

The only ay of hope was in the belief that a uajority of the miners secretly favor icceptance of the subsidy, despite he rejection. The miners' leaders have left for he coal districts over the week end receive first hand information re the subsidy. IRISH RELIEF RALLY SEN.

The German embassy here sent a note to the reparations commission, refusing to deliver the Reichshank sold reserve as demanded in the ultimatum which expires at midnight. The note pointed out that Germany had made alternative proposals to president Harding, which are now under discussion, and that therefore the German government would he unable to comply with the allied demand. London, April 30. The supreme council met in Downing; street at I o'clock this afternoon to reach a final decision on penalties to he exacted on Monday from Germany for failure to meet her reparations. Berlin, April 30.

The German cabinet, in special session today, was considering, a plan for steering the reparations question from political into economic channels. A proposal was discussed to approach France with the suggestion that the problem be taken up hy Hugo Stinnes and other German industrial leaders with Louis Louclieur, French minister of reconstruct ion, and the leading French business men. of Louclieur as one of the proposed French conferees was accepted as meaning that Germany would press her offer to rehabilitate the devastated areas of northern France. Hy Kl). L.

(I'XITKII I'lllISS ST.H'I I Ijimdnn. April 110. Germany resumed direct negotiations with the Allies today following failure to communicate through the United States Government her latest reprations proposals. Lord d'Abernon, British Ambassa dor to Germany, arrived from Berlin with the new German proposal which duplicated that which she sought to present through American diplomatic channels. The amounts were $12,500,000,000 in a lump sum, or $50, 000, OnO.OOO over a period of years.

This ofer already has been characterized by the Allied spokesmen as "unacceptable." This latest move on Germany's part was generally regarded as a final ef fort to avert occupation of the Ruhr district as a penalty for non payment I of the reparation installment the Allies claim as due Monday, hut Which Berlin contends already has been paid. The Supreme Council, meeting at 2 o'clock this afternoon in what the jtress declares to be the most impor tant Allied conclave since the peace lonference. was expected to consider Seriously an ultimatum to Germany. in a period of days or hours, demanding a better reparations offer. Premier Lloyd George was reported to have favored such a plan in the recent conference at Hythe.

Premier Briand opposed it. contending there should be no delay in inflicting the penalties. French and Belgian governmental and military officials already were on the scene and the arrival of Count Sforza from Italy several hours ahead of schedule insured the meeting of the Supreme Council this afternoon. For a time it was believed the failure of the Italian Foreign Minister to reach London before tonight would necessitate postponement till tomorrow or Monday. The London newspapers characterized the situation as "sombre, obscure and fraught with dangerous potentialities." AH were firm for occupation of the Ruhr unless the Germans presented a better offer before Monday.

The Daily Telegraph asserted that the offer transmitted through D'Abernon was "more procrastination" and a further maneuver to divide the Allies. The financial experts have completed drafting their reports for the Supreme Council. They were reported to have "split the difference" between the Allies' insistence on $50,500,000, 000 and the Germans' offer of $12. .100,000.000 which would make the Su preem Council probable lump sum demand $34,500,000,000. The offer borne by the British Ambassador was again characterized by Germany as her "maximum proposal." Paris, April "0.

Plans were completed today for mobilization of the military class of 1010, to cover a period of eight days. This levy will total 130,000 men. not including students or men in the devastated areas, who are exempted. Only word from the Supreme Council at London is necessary to start the work of PnrK April 30.
