ANNOUNCEMENT
Advance in Price
of Anthracite Coal

MAURY DOVE COMPANY ad-
vises it's patrons and the PUBLIC gen.
orally that the advances in all materi-
ais, labor, ETC., which enter into the
cost of selling and delivering coal have
been SO enormous that it has been COM
PEELED to advance the price of AN
THRACITE COAL Csc per ton, to
take effect Tuesday, October 10, 1916.
The discount of 15c per ton for cash or
for accounts settled in full by the 10th
of the month will still prevail.
Increases in the various items COM
prising the above expense have in no
case been lower than 259o, and in one
instance has exceeded 1887. For the
past year we have been absorbing
these advances as they occurred, in the
hope that they would prove to be only
temporary. Instead, however, they
have been gradually increasing, until
we have found it impossible to absorb
them longer.

German Version of Fight
Off the Danish Coast

Berlin. June (by wireless TO Say
Vile, n. VA competent German au-
thority to-day gave the German Ad-
miralty's version Of the battle between
the British and German main naval
fleets off the coast Of Jutland on May
81, as follows;
"The German high seas forces ad-
vanced IN order to force into battle
divisions Of the British navy which Of
late had repeatedly been reported near
the south coast OF Norway.
"The Germans first sighted the en-
envy on May 81 at 4 p. m, about sew
enty miles of the skagerrak. The
force was composed Of four small cruis-
ers Of the strong Calliope type.
"The German cruisers Immediately
pursued the enemy, who sailed away 70
the northwsrd st the highest speed.
At $50 p. m. the German cruisers
sighted in westerly direction two
hostile columns, which turned out TO
be six enemy battle-cruisers and large
number OF small cruisers and destroy
ers
The German cruisers approached until
thew were within about eight miles OF
the hostile ships and then opened on a
southern 10 a southeastern course with
very efficient fire. During this en-
gagement two British battle-crusers
and one torpedo boat destroyer were
annihilsted.
after an engagement lasting half an
hour the Germans sighted 10 the north
ward of the enemy further strong hos
tile forces, which later turned out to
be FIVE ships of the Queen Elizabeth
type. Soon afterwarG the German main
fleet entered into action"

Lost Greatest Game | Ever
Played" In Helping Sick
COmrade.
BY ARTHUR s. DRAPER.
Try Cabis 70 The Tribune

London, June 6.--Sergeant Florence
j. Price, star athlete OF Brown Univer-
sity and former New York newspaper
man, has faced his last opponent in
what he called "the greatest game !
ever played" From a chum IN the
trenches near Ypres word has come
that Price is dead
For four months the big six-footer
who once starred on the gridiron and
track for Brown had risked death daily
while throwing hand grenades and
charging the Germans with the Cana
dams. Then, on Decoration Day, soon
after his captain had told him that he
would soon have commission. a shrap-
mel she'll burst in the dug-out where
ne was sleeping. He was killed in
stantly.
Price need not have been in that dug
out. He had been relieved the day be-
fore for a tour Of rest miles behind
the first line trenches. But a fellow
sergeant who was to take his place
complained Of illness, and instantly
Price volunteered to do a double tour
in the "strafng" trench. His offer was
accepted. The shrapnel came few
hours later.
Four months ago Price, who had been
wounded, returned TO active service
with the Canadians on the West front.
He came to The Tribune Office in Lon
don in April on his first furlough, the
picture Of health and strength.
"I'm going 10 get commission or
get knocked out" he said. This fight
ing the Germans is the greatest game
ever played. Throwing bombs surely
beats putting the shot"
The commission he sought would
have come 10 him this month, for ne
had thrice been mentioned for exceed
ing gallantry under FIRE. The captain
of his company publicly hailed HIM as
the bravest man In the battalion.
Price was q member Of Psi Upsllon
az Brown University, and had won his
"B" as a swimmer, football player and
track man. He was captain or the
water polo and swimming teams. ms
first year after graduation was spent as
a reporter in New York.
When he first Joined the Canadian
overseas forces he was offered COM
mission, but refused, saying ne pre-
ferred 10 learn soldering before be,
coming a leader and that he would
rather win his shoulder straps tnan
have them given to him.
In a letter TO friends in New YORK
last fall. when he was in a training
camp back of the British lines IN
France, he wrote:
eve can hear the artillery from mere
and see the shrapnel bursting around
the aeroplanes, but ale more comfort
able than in England and, believe
safer and more secure"
That was soon after he was wounded
while on his first "strahng' expedillon,
and he advised his friends not 70
worry. as men are wounded in this
war half a dozen times and come
back"
