tons. a now high record and an increase
OF l.0+3.2S2 tons during the month. On

Apart from the fact that the business
placed In November was heavy. one Of
the principal reasons for the increase In

and steel mills have been forced to cut
their output considerably.
The following table gives the unhlled

ducing Lands.

The fuel and fuel handling committee
Of the Naval Consulting Board presented
a report at the monthly meeting yester-
day recommending that the United

able title reserves OF oil land within Its
border located with reference to eco
nomical transportation. The report also
urged that the United States Govern
ment should strive by this means to have
suficient oil for nifty years TO meet the
ever increasing requirements OF the navy.
Upon the basis Of that report a reso-
luton declaring that the Naval Advisory
Board Ii convinced that any legislation
which may divert from the navy any
part OF its oil reserve will seriously
weaken the navy and imperil the ma
tionai defence was adopted The reso-
luton urged upon Congress the necessity

Of the existing naval petroleum reserves
and commended the action OF Franklin

st. Louis, Sept. 11.-Vice President
Thomas r. Marshall was confined to
his bed all day Sunday at the Jefferson
hotel here, as a result of a bad cold
caught when he mOtOred to Shadow
Lawn to attend the nomination cere-
monies in the second notification of
President Wilson. Although his condi-
ton is not regarded as serious it was
thought best that he be kept indoors as
he has been unable to shake off the
cold, so far. He is due to leave this
afternoon for Joplin, where the Demo-
cratic campaign in Missouri is to open.
His physician said that he thought he
would not be able to do much public
speaking for day or two. Mrs. Mar
shall is with him at the hotel. She
said that his condition was satisfactory
and she did not expect any Interrupt
ton to the itinerary planned for him.

War proposal.

London, Sept. 11.-"According to re-
ports from Germany received at
Berne," says dispatch to the Wireless
Press, 'the dismissal of Gen. Erich Won
Falkenhayn as chief of the German
general staff was due to his suggestion
of complete change in Germany's war
plans which Emperor William indig-
nantly rejected.
predicting the complete downfall of
Bulgaria as the result of converging at
tacks from the north and south, and in
the end consequent interruption Of
communications with Turkey, General
Won Falkenhayn urged that the whole
Balkan campaign be abandoned; that
the eastern line be shortened, and that
the occupied territory in France be
evacuated.
1.-THE general expressed the opinion
that the transformation of German
strategy into purely defensive cam
patgn on shorter front would paralyze
the entente allies and make it impos-
Sible for them to crush Austro- German
resistance unless they fought with un-
limited resources and then for ten
years. Persistence in the present plan
of campaign, he said, would lead to dis
aSter.
"Field Marshal ven Hindenburg de-
nOunced this advice as childish, cow
ardly, and unworthy of the Germans.
Emperor William took Won linden
burg'S view and dismissed Won Falk en-
hayn.''
