GERMAN WAR COUNCIL
PLANNING FOR WINTER
Teutons Await with Keen Interest Out
come of Conference.
CBy the International New. Service,

(By the Intern stionnI News Service,
Berlin, Sept. l2-An Germany is await
ing with keenest interest the outcome of
the great war council being held by the
Kaiser at eastern army headquarters,
which Archduke Carl today was reported
to have Joined. Others with the Kaiser
are Gar Ferdinand of Bulgaria, Enver
Pasha. Turkish minister of war, and
Chancellor Won Bethmann- Hollweg.
The council is OF vital interest to Ger
many because 1t is believed that upon 1t
depends the economic as well as the mill
tary welfare of the Teutonic allies. 1t
is understood that the Kaiser and his
associates are considering the conserva-
ton OF the food supplies and similar
steps, as well as military problems.
The matter OF food is a serious one in
Germany and more so among her allies,
Austria Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria.
The council, 1t is said, is concerned
mainly with plans for the winter cam
paign in the East. II is conceded that
there will be much fighting on the east
ern front during the winter, which is
always severe and long in the Balkans.
Won Bethmann-H Hollweg will announce
the result of the conference when he
makes his opening speech in the Reich
stag on September IS.

The Department of Justice is marshall
ing its legal forces for a final attempt
to break up the combination between the
eastern railroads and anthracite coal pro-
ducers, 1t was announced here yesterday.
By next Monday or Tuesday the govern
