when he boosted sounder muscles, and
much less avoirdupois than he does at

New York, Dec. 21.-That there are
grounds for the suspicion that the re-
cent increase in the price Of coal was
the result of an artificial and illegal
combination" was the statement mace
today by George w. Anderson, federal
district attorney at Boston, who is in
charge of the governments national
food inquiry. Mr.. Anderson came here
to confer with Special Assistant Unit
ed States Attorney General Frank M.
Swacker in charge of the federal grand
jury investigating in this city. after
having held a similar conference with
the federal and local authorities in
Washington, Philadelphia, Cleveland
and Chicago.

Suspects Coal Price
Result Of Artificial and
ILLEGAL Combination

when there are indications that the
movement of coal has been checked not
only on railroads. but at terminals
Mr.. Anderson said, there is reason to
suspect that such action probably Is
the result of an artificial and illegal
combination designed to reap extor-
tionate profits through a speculative
market.
when you find coal brokers and
coal dealers re-consigning coal cars
over and over again so as to delay de-
livery and thereby create panic, you
find a prima facie case.
such a condition is similar to that
recently called by David Lloyd George
as 'profiting'"

PEACE OVERTURES?

He news, first given to the public by The Evening World on
high authority, that Ambassador Gerard is bringing with
him to this country important communications from the
Herman Government bearing on possible mediation by the United
States to end the war, follows too closely the vigorous Glands Off
warning Of Lloyd George not to suggest that the British Government
had definite knowledge Of what the American Ambassador to Germany
hes been asked to do.
Professions Of ignorance from the State Department at Washing
ton signify little. Germnnys messages may well be OF a delicate ma
ture, laying the strongest sort of claim to diplomatic secrecy and dis
erection.
Until it is known exactly what the German Government asks Of
the United States there is little use discussing whether tho answer is to
be compliance or refusal. One thing is certain. The offer Of this
country's prompt and earnest service toward peace, whenever such
services are desired, is still as good as when the President first made it
soon after the outbreak Of the war.
On the other hand, no more now than earlier can the Government
Of the United States take action inconsistent either with it's neutrality
or With its dignity. Glad as we should be to make c~verybodys peace,
We Are fighting nobodys battles and covering nobody's retreat.
