Coal Prices Too High.

The Fuel Administration promised
to give its first attention to the coal
situation in Iowa and Illinois, accord
ing to announcement made. Clifford
Thorne, representing the League of
Iowa Municipalities, presented evil
dence designed to show that prices
fixed by the Government, instead of
relieving matters, have worked hard
ship on the consumers. Mr.. Thorne's
chief contention was that consumers
are unable to get contract prices on
coal in any quantity.

Huns Hasten To Surrender and 5000 Taken In
Dash Wednesday
WAGE DEFENSE OFTRACKS TO TIL
Barrage Thrown Before Advancing English Caught Three
Whole German Divisions Preparing to
Attack at Dawn.

The Anticipated renewal OF Field
Marshal Haig's Dig offensive in Flan-
ders has begun, and all the object
ives of the first day have been won
and held.
AS in the preceding attacks, the lat
est one was timed TO the minute. The
British ferces at a given signal at day
light swarmed from their trenches
over ground that had been narrowed
by millions Of. shells from the great
array OF artillery and all along the
front of more than eight miles from
south Of Tower HamIets to the north
of Langemarck they made notable
new gains of terrain, inflicted heavy
casualties on the Germans while them
selves suffering slight losses, and
took many prisoners, large numbers
of which gladly surrendered in order
to reach haven of safety from the
storm.
The attack was delivered with all
the dash Of previous oirensives and
swiftly and surely the British, not
withstanding heavy couBter-attacks at
various points, took positions that had
besn marked out for them, some Of
them to depth Of more than mile.
The battle is along strongholds
which comprise the crucially
important system of German defenses
along the Passchendaels Chsluvelt
ridge.
More than 3, 100 German prisoners
had been passed behind the lines
when the latest official communication
concerning the days fighting was sent
and many others were being gather
ed in.
Near Jacobstadt, which lies midway
between Riga and Dvinsk, on the
northern Russian front, big battle
apparently is being prepared for.
Here Petrograd reports an intense
artillery duel in progress which prob
ably indicates that the Germans are
seeking to pave the way for an at
tempt to cross the Dvina river.
In the Austro-ItaIian theater, Gen.
-Cadorna's forces have been forced to
sustain further heavy counter-attacks
from the Austrians on the slopes OF
Monte San Gabrielle, near Georgia.
The attacks, like similar enc deliver
ed during the last week, came to
naught under the fire OF the Italian
artillery and rifles.
French airmen are continuing their
reprisals on German cities and towns
for the aerial bombardment OF bar
lie Due by German aircraft. Frank
ort-on-the-Main and Rastatt Baden,
fourteen miles southwest OF karla-
rhue, have been effectively shelled
from the air. In addition the Br fish
and French fliers are continuing their
raids over German points of military
advantage behind the fighting lines,
again having loosed large quantities
of explosives upon them.

RAISE MORE CHICKENS.

The statement made at the recent
agricultural conference at st. Louis that
the poultry products of the United States
could be doubled within a year means that
if everybody in position to help did their
part 5000, coo, Goo worth of food would be
added TO our supply this year.
This includes both meat for the table
and eggs Very few farmers practice d
systematic plan of disposing Of their fowls
after they have ceased to be productive,
although it is well known that fowls of
the heavier breeds, such as the Plymouth
Rocks, cease to produce profitable num-
Der of eggs at the end of their second
laying year, and that this holds true Of
the lighter breeds, such as the Leghorns,
at the end of their third laying year
Consequently, if efforts were made to dis
pose of all females, when their best laying
days were over, large quantity of poultry
meat would be placed on the market, All
poorly developed chickens should likewise
be culled out and used as meat Tins
way of disposing of Improbable fowls
would allow the farmer to feed his grain
to younger and more productive fowls.

FOR COAST DEFENSE.

WASHINGTON, May 30. Navy officials,
enthusiastic over the successful builders
trial of he first of 10 non-dirigible bal
looms ordered by the department two
months ago, said tonight that the dirigi-
bic program was assured of completion
much sooner than had been expected.
The airShlp left Chicago Monday night
and ed without accident yesterday at
Akron, O The contract called for de-
livery within four months, but the build
ers Will turn the first snip over for active
duty in coast patrol work within less than
90 days of the date of the contract, and
thereafter one OF more will be delivered
every week.
The trip from Chicago to Akron cover
ed more than 400 miles. 1t was made
under the direction of the builders, the
Goodyear Rubber Company, and did not
constitute an official test, but it was such
a success that navy officials are confident
that a valuable type similar to the
''Bllmp" of the British navy has been
produced They have little fear that the
airship will not make the required so
miles an hour during her official trip with
in the next 10 days
The ship was designed by Naval Con-
structor j. C. Hunsaker of the bureau of
construction and repairs, and the unoffi
clal test is regarded as having proved
conclusively that the weight problem has
been solved. The second of the craft,
also building at the Goodyear plant, will
be ready for trial within few days, and
the seven others awarded to that concern
will come along at regular intervals.
Good reports as to progress also have
been received from the Goodrich Rubber
Company, the Curtlss Aircraft Company
of New York and the Connecticut Air
craft Company of New Haven, among
whom the other contracts were divided
The 10 airships will be added to the
coast patrol as rapidly as they are COM
pleted. Crews are being trained at the
naval aviation station at Pensacola, Fla,
where the first dirigible, d Nj, an older
type craft suitable only for training pur
poses, is in daily operation.
The new airships have greater speed
and greater weight-carrying capacity,
and are expected to be an efficient ele-
ment of the coast defences, particularly
IN the detection of submarines, in which
service the British blimps have repeated
ly proved their value.
The navy department expects that the
entire 10 will be in service by the middle
of August and that they will be distrib-
uted to operate in pairs along the Atlantic
coast, working from special bases ashore
and supplementing the operations OF sub
marine chasers, reserve destroyers and
other naval craft now on guard duty.

PORTLAND READY TO BUILD
SHIPS.

Portland shipbuilders are now only
awaiting the word from Washington be-
fore beginning the work of constructing
several 30O0-ton steamships. All the de-
tails are complete on this end and there is
needed only the approval of Gen. Cocktails,
national lead of the government 5 big IN
deltaking, to defeat Germany'S under
seas warfare. The State committee, of
which ex-Gov. William T. Cobb of
Rocklanc is chairman had another ses-
sion in this city and went over the
plans and specifications with Lieut.. Viii
liam H. Hand of New Bedford, Mass,
who is to have supervision of all govern
mental Shlpbuilding activity along the
New England coast. No statement of
what decisions were reached was given
out, but from an authoritative source ihe
Press lea rned that nothing now stands in
the way but the approval from Washing
ton.
1t is certain that Portland will have
an active part in the program, and
while it could not be learned how
many vessels will be built in this port
this paper has it on good assurance that
there will be several" The plan is for
the government to supply the lumber and
the Maine builders will take the work on
contracts. Just what the terms of the
contracts will be remains a secret until
the State committee hears from Col.
Goethals in the way of approval when the
whole plan will be disclosed. The specifi-
cations which were given the attention of
the committee yesterday We're found to
fit we'll with the capabilities of Maine
builders. 1t is understood that they do
not depart radically from what was ORR
ginally outlined when the government
laid its plans for the building of fleet of
a thousand 1000 ton wooden steamships,
but at the same time some of the disad-
vantageous details to which the Maine
builders offered objections were eliminat-
ed.
Very carefully the Maine committee
went over the specifications with Lieut.,
Hand and found them much more to its
liking than had been anticipa ted.-Port-
land Press.
