A STRONG APPEAL.

TAsy SAsuta EnA Coal strike
Ter IuAhe 0seA.

Washington, Oct. THE following
10 the statement which President
Roosevelt made before the conference
of railroad presidents and labor lead.
srs held at the white houSe Fridays
~ wish to call your attention to the
fact Nst there are three parties at
fectes by the situation In the anthra-
cite trade; the operators, the miners
and the general public. speak for
neither the operators nor the miners,
hut for the general public. The qaes-
lions at issue which led TO the situation
affect immediately the parties con-
cerned--the operators and the miners;
hut the situation itself vitality affects
the public. As long as there seemed to
be a reasonable hope that these mat
tiers could be adjusted between the par
ties It did not seem proper To me to in
tervene in any way. ! disclaim any
right OF duty to intervene in this way
upon legal grounds or upon any official
relation that bear 10 the situation;
but the urgency and the terrible ma
ture of the catastrophe impending
over a large portion of our people in
the shape Of a winter fuel famine inn
mel me, after much anxious thought,
TO believe that my duty re-
ouires me to use whatever influence l
personally can TO bring to an end a
situation which has become literally
intolerable. I wish to emphasize the
character Of the situation and to say
that its gravity is such that ! am con-
strained urgently to insist that each
one of YOU realize the heavy burden Of
responsibility upon him. We are upon
the threshold of winter with an already
existing coal famine the future ter
rors of which we can hardly yet appre-
ciate.
1.-THE evil possibilities are so far
reaching, so appalling, that it seems to
me that you are not only justified in
sinking but required to sink for the
time being any tenacity as to your re-
spective claims in the matter at issue,
between you. In my judgment the
situation imperatively requires that
YOU meet upon the common plane OF
the necessities of the public. With all
the earnestness there is in me ask
that there be an immediate resumption
of operations in the coal mines in
some such way as will without days
unnecessary delay meet the crying
needs of the people.
ST do not invite discussion of your
respective claims and positions. ap.
peal to your patriotism. to the spirit
that sinks personal considerations and
makes individual sacrifices for the gen.
eral good"

PRACTICE OUTPOST DUTY.
Soldiers Of the National Guard Given
distractions In This Feature OF
Active War Campaign.

Fort Riley, Kan, Oct. 3.-Exercises
In outpost duty made up the maneuver
programme Thursday. The regular
forces went through these problems in
the opening days of the manuevers, and
they were repeated Thursday In order
that the men and officers of the ma
tional guards of Kansas and Colorado
might receive instruction in such work.
There were three exercises all similar
in character. A regiment of regulars
In each instance established the out
post, and as soon as their work was
completed they were relieved by the
men of the national guard who had
carefully observed the work of the reg
ular troops. When the national guard
outposts had been established, an out
lined enemy consisting of q small force
of regulars simulated an attack and
the outposts made the necessary prep
arations for defense.
When the state troops were COM
pletely established on the outpost, an
attack was made by small force of
cavalry 1t was the assumption that
the attacking force was much larger
in force than the outpost. The ma
tional guard did excellent work in
forming their outposts, the pickets and
reserves being posted promptly and
with no delay. When, however, the at
tack was begun, the national guards
men showed how much the instruction
given at such camp as is now being
held is needed by them. No criticism
could be made of their gallantry and
their willingness to fight. 1t was the
excess OF these qualities that would
have brought them disaster had the
game been played in earnest.
When the regulars began to push
home their attack, the national guards
men were over-anxious to fight. In
many instances they rose from cover.
fired standing or kneeling, and exposed
themselves recklessly. While they did
this all that could be seen of the regu-
lars was brown dot where hat could
be distinguished above the grass, but
their steady, rapid fire from behind
their cover would have worked terrible
havoc among the state troops. The
latter were finally brought more to
cover, but throughout the fighting
they bore themselves with an air of

for their natural bravery as ii did for
their need of just such instructions as
