(Associated Press.

Washington, Nov. 20.-'A portentous
and complicated international situa-
ton now faces President Wilson and
for the next few weeks will engage
his attention and that OF his advisers
to the practical exclusion of all be
the most urgent subjects.
In the last days OF the campaign,
Secretary Of State Lansing frequently
spoke of the necessity of postponing
action on the more, lelicate interna-
tional questions because the uncer'
tanty of the outcome OF the political
contest had a direct bearing on the
success or failure of some of the ad-
ministration's policies.
Without Embarrassment.
From now on the president expects
to deal with all foreign questions
without embarrassment and he is re-
ceiving from his advisers a summary
of the outstanding issues SO essential
to taking stocY of the basic situation
which must be met now that interna.
tionaI relations have returned to their
place Of prime Importance. While it
is not evident that there will be any
fundamental change, freedom from
fear that any move at all would be
misinterpreted as inspired by an in
ternal political struggle has been re-
moved. President Wilson and Secre'
tary Lansing feel themselves able
to act with a single eye to the inter
national situation and their immedi'
ate conferences on theNpresidcnt's re-
turn to Washington indicate how
pressing they feel the situation to be
Many Problems.
The president must decide how the
United States shall meet the German
submarine question on the iOnc hand
and the Entente Allied trade restric
tions on the other, whether the retail
atory legislation shall be enforced
whether the traditional theory of iso
JatiOn shall be abandoned for concert
ed neutral action, and whether the
country shall have an aggressive OF
a passive policy toward the peace con
ference after the war, and the perma
nent league to enforce peace which
the president has accepted in theory
And, during the rest of the war shal
Americas attitude be governed by q
decided benevolence in the interpreta
ton of international law according
to it's own best interests, or shall il
be strictly legalistc, regardless OF
whom it affects?

COAL SHORTAGE
MYTH 50 FAR As

Plenty of Ignite Being Sold at
Same Old Prices in Central

WASHBURN COMPANY CAN
SUPPLY 100000 TONS

The much talked Of coal shortage
is a myth, so far as the Capital City
and central North Dakota are con.
cerned.
Not only is there plenty of coal in
Bismarck, but it is selling at the same
prices which prevailed last year
So the ton. 1t may go up 25 cents
the first of December, but not more.
And the supply this year is just
twice as great as it was last.
lignite Comes Into Own.
This refers especially to the once
despised Ignite. Lignite has been a
prophet not without honor except in
its own country. Where best known
the facetious have been prone to style
it "Lug-all-night' and to look down
upon 1t, principally because it was a
local product and cheap. Now, how
ever, with imported Goals soaring out
OF sight. and impossible even at in.
visible PRICES. central North Dakota
turns to Ignite as a savior.
Has Doubled Capacity.
The Washburn Lignite Coal com.
pany, operating the largest and best
equipped Ignite mine in North Da-
kOta, at Wilton, just 2S miles north,
doubled it's capacity during the past
summer by opening second shaft
and installing a new all-steel tipple
at a cost Of $4,000. This places the
.Washburn company in a position to
produce all the way from $50 900 tons
to 100000 tons this year, depending
upon the number Of miners it's is able
to employ. A quartermilliOn tons
will go Il long way toward relieving
tho coal famine in this immediate
vicinity, and from this point west to
''e Mon+ana line, south to the South
Dakota line, and north to the Domin
ion, there is no lack of Ignite nor of
mines with which to supply the con

Boost in Foreign Goals.
Foreign Goals have advanced in

prices are good only from day to day

obtained from the mines on future
deliveries. In fact, there is no GER

operated one of the manghng ma

Michael Ealzer yesterday afternoon
appeared before Judge Dolan and
swore to the warrant. The charge, it
was stated, will be dismissed, and
one of deeper and more serious ma

Lena Pinks.
The two had not been living to-
gether for the past three months.
She would call at the Bismarck Steam
laundry every week and get five dol
lars of his pay. Early in the week
she called and was given ten dollars.
When Marquette drew his pay he had
only ten dollars coming Because of
this fact and the little pay that Miss
Balzer received, it is believed that
they have not gone very far.

noon that they were married. He
stated that Albert has not been d.
vorced, but that he and his wife have
