BRITAIN TO. CONTROL COAL.

London, Oct. 18-The government is proposing to take over control of the coal industry of Great Britain in the near future, the main purpose of the scheme of standardization being to give a certain power of control over the neutral shipping which coals at British ports. Coal owners will be allowed to take their present profits if the scheme goes through, but the government will control the distribu- ton of coal for home consumption, for export and for shipping. For some time past the government has used its authority over British ship ping to direct its courses most bene- flcial for the nation. but neutral steam shipping, though dependent on Bri- tain for coal, has not recognized a resulting obligation to this coun- try.
 The plan is that if the government owns the coal it will be in a position to stipulate the uso tn ecustomer shall make of it and to require him to call for his return cargo at specified ports. Tn that way it is believed the whole of the shipping in British ports may he organized and directed.

Democratic Women Challenge Hughes
 Workers to Debate

New York, Oct. 1S.-Mrs. Mary Ware Dennett, Executive Secretary of the Women's Bureau of the Demo- cratic National Committee. to-day challenged the Women's Committee of the National Hughes Alliance to an open debate in New York on or after October 30. The challenge was tele- graphed to Miss Frances Ke11or, Chairman of the Hughes Women's Committee, who is Eow. at Reno with the WoRen's Hughes calS Spaign train, and also was delivered to Hughes headquarters in New York.
 Democratic women are ready to stand by their convictions and to lay the record of the Democratic admins tration before any audience," said Mrs. Dennett. ''that if Hughes must have them to win his case is hope- less."
 Tonight the New York Evening Posts story of the Republican cam paign stump sollows its editorial de- claration last Saturday that Hughes has proved to be disappointment. The Post, which set out to be friend ly to Hughes, is through with him.
 A6AAt D ANSW I OAh LLNSAiA6 4SAcIAAs which Is supporting MT. Hughes. also adds a note of gloom in an articl> by George T.. Odell, it's special political writer, pointing to the growing dis cord between MT. Hughes and his campaign managers as to the hand ling of the troublesome German American issue. The article makes this interesting admission:
 Roosevelt is thorn in the side of these campaign managers who are afraid of the Gerhan-American vote. Very largely on that account he has ben shunted off on a speaking tour into territory where 1t, is estimated he can do the least harm"
 An interesting sidelight on the dilemma of the Republican press that is called upon to support candidate without an issue Is furnished by the fact that the Philadelphia Public Ledger's $2,000 prize contest for the best editorials in support of each Presidential candidate was won for the Wilson side by Ernest F. Bod dingtoi, of the editorial staff of the Philadelphia North American, which is half-heartedly supporting Hughes.
 The Ledger to-day announced that 459 contestants urged President Will sons retention in office. while only 329 editorials were submitted in favor of MT. Hughes.

.CONFUCIUS STIRS
 DISSENS|oN IN CELESTIAL RANKS
Attempt to Abolish Idolatry of China's Great Sage
 Causes Protest.

Peking, Oct. 18-Because of the late Yuan Shi-Kafs espousal of Con- fucianism and the important part that religion. or philosophy, played in the effort to restore the monarchy, ultra-republican members of par}ia- ment recently made an attempt to have Confucianism abolished by leg islation on the theory that such &C., ton would grant greater freedom of conscience and insure the perpetuity of the Republic.
 This step aroused great indignation among the modern admirers of Con- fucius and called forth a shower of protests. Kang Yu-wei. the cisttn- guished scholar. who Is among the prominent publicists who oppose the eradication of Confncianism, tele- graphed to the central government declaring that the Confucian religion is distinctly the religion of China. and that if it be rejected Chinese would become like brutes. What would be the use of the knees" he asked, eff they be not employed for the worship of Confucius." 5.
 Premier Tuan Qhi-jui replied that the public has great reverence for Confucius, but that this reverence is in the hearts of the public and that it is no longer necessary for them to rrostrate their body on the ground to show their respect for China's great sage. IDA fI
 Tn spite of theS efforts of politicians to keep religion out of the political turmoil in China, various religious ,ag- itators have been able to intensity the internal troubles of the Chinese re- public. China has no state religion. even Yuan Shf-kai did not show pre- ference for any particulars religion. Confucian teachers, Buddhist, ,racist and Lama priests all enjoyed His pat ronage. Representatives of many re- ligions participated in his funeral.
 Since the death of Yuan Shi-kai. Confucianism has continued to be in great favor in Picking, but it's adher- ents deny firmly that the revival has anything to do with the monarchial movement. President L Yuan-hung, who is a Christian, recently delegated ore of his undersecretaries to rapre- sent him officially at a Confucian ceremony in the temple where Yuan Shil1ai formerly worshipped.

THE MOVIES" IN WAR

In the early stages of the war the "movies" were used only to take pie lures for the benefit of civilians and the people of neutral nations. Now the "fllum" is a valuable adjunct to warfare. In former times comman- ders were pictured and painted as sit ting in their tents boring over maps spread out on Yoyyh deal tables. That is now fold stuff." The military map was all right enough in it's day, but the modern general would say. like Ruggles, "It would never do with us" !" Nowadays when a general plans to make or resist an attack on an un- familiar terrain, he doesn't consult a map He calls in an aviator and a camera man, and tells them exactly what he wants photographed. Then the pair of them sally forth on their aerial quest, and when they return if they returh-the general calls in his subordinate officers and gives a movie show. They see on the screen pictures of the territory over which they are to operate, and are accord ingly prepared for all emergencies A map may be inaccurate, and. in any event, it leaves out a lot of things that come within the scope or the trutn- full camera. The artists who paint pictures of the commandars in this war will have to dispense with the map boring business. if they want to be accurate and up to date, and show the generals gazing at a movie screen. The camera men have also made pie lures of the trenches all along the different fronts, and these films are on file at the various divisional head quarters. When an attack is made the camera man follows close behind, taking pictures of the men in action, and if an officer blunders or betrays symptoms of cowardice he can't go back on the record of the films. The camera man makes an excellent tar get for the enemy, and many of them have been killed.
