GERMAN COAL YIELD CUT
Strikes in Siles;a and Lack of Food
For Miners Cause. ~

Strikes in Silesia and Lack of Food
For Miners Cause.
Copenhagen, Aug. 28.-Strikes OF
miners in Silesia last month reduced
the German production OF coal by
more than 100000 tons, according
to statements made in the debate IN
the reichstag main committee on the
fuel problem. Vice Chancellor Hell
fferich gave an urgent and earnest
warning against further strikes.
The government report stated that
production had been affected by mad.
equate food supplies. This was cor
| roborated by speakers of various
parties, who said under-nourished
workmen could not do a normal days
work.
A representative of the military
authorities declared that more
miners could not be spared from the
army.
! The gravity Of the situation is
shown by the seriously considered
proposals to restrict the production
of iron, although this is needed for
munitions. Socialists, center and
| radical speakers brought up this sub
| iect in connection with the question
of the recent retirement OF Gen.
Groener who, according to a current
report, was forced out of the war
bureau by representatives OF the COAL
iron and steel industries because ne
insisted on adequate protection OF
the interests of workmen under the
civil mobilization law.
| Speakers declared the explana-
tions of the government regarding
the generals retirement were I'M
satisfactory.

AUSTRIA AND THE u. s.
Overt Act Required Before Govern
ment VIII Act.

Italy wants the United States to
declare war against Austria. No OH,
cial action has been taken to urge
this, but quiet representations have
been made. to the State Department
to the effect that nothing would
more hearten the Italian people than
to have the United States allied with
Italy in that part Of the war which
is particularly Italy's own.
Secretary Lansing admitted some
days ago that q state. of war between
Austria and the United States might
not be far off. But it will require
an overt act on the part of Austria
to bring declaration from the Unit
ed States, he said.
Italians in this country have. re-
ceived evidences of shocking brutality
on the part Of the Austrians. An Of
fetal photograph was shown at the
Italian embassy in Washing
ton yesterday depicting short,
iron-spiked clubs, which an
embassy official declared the Aus
TRANS used to kill wounded and men
suffering from gas poisoning, accord
ing to indisputable evidence. While
he spoke only: for: himself, one of the
embassy staff evinced the same feel
