Baker, state administrator, at the
opening Of a conference held this
morning with district fuel admins
traitors from all parts of the state an
nounced modification Of his order
limiting coal delivery by which it will
be possible for household consumers
to purchase sufficient bituminous and
lignate coal now for a two-months'
supply. The annulled order allowed
only two weeks.
The half-ton limit. on anthracite,
briquettes and coke purchases is still
maintained, however, the fuel admin
istrator announced.
Under the modified order, con-
sumers may purchase a half ton of
anthracite and two months bitumin-
GUS supply at the same time, and may
renew anthracite purchases from
time to time even though they have
soft coal on hand. The modification
of the order is the result of numer-
GUS protests, it was said, from coal
dealers and others from throughout
the state especially those Of the
larger cities, who maintained that
the shortage of teaming facilities and
extra hauling expenses under the or
der were working hardships both on
the public and the coal dealers, as a
half ton of coal did not last the con-
sumer long time in cold weather.

TEUTONS PRAISE ..
u. S. SOLDIERS
ON FRENCH FRONT

Berlin, Sunday, Nov. Is, via Lon.
don, Nov. 27.-A report received
from the western front describing the
American troops in action says:
Independent American units have
been thrown into the trench line.
The felt hat has given way to the
English-fashioned steel helmet and
the whistling and bursting of shells
have become familiar sounds to
American ears.
For the first time since they
have been participating as inde-
pendent contfngents the Ameri-
cans have tasted the real hand
scuffle. But this time the shells
did not merely fly over their
heads, but into the very trenches
they had selected, and presently,
with an Internal noise, these
things which the yeunE soldiers
I believed ton bes;A Arm protection;
began to quake and burst.
g "And hard on the heels of this, a
firm attack by our onrushing Bavar-
ian reserves forced their way into the
American trenches and musket shots
and bursting hand grenades relieved
the artillery fire.
"Our new opponents made most
determined. defense, and desperate
hand to hand fighting set in. Butts
of guns, fists and hand grenades
were freely brought into play and
many men fell to the ground before
the rest gave up resistance and sur
rendered. After a bare hour the
German storming troops we're back
in their own trenches with booty and
prisoners.
There they stood before US.

blue eyes and they were quite
surprised that we did not pro-
rD,T
pose to shoot them down as they
had been led to believe in the
French training camp we would
do. s
They know no reply to our
query: why does the United States
carry on war against Germany The
Of American ships by U-boats
which was the favorite pretext,
