Garfield Plans to
Darken Broadway
Until 8; Save Coal

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-Darkeninp

cussed at hearing given representa-
tiyes of the Broadway Association OF
New York to-day by the fuel admins.
tration. The conference was the first
Of series that will be held here to
take up measures designed to prevent
waste of the country's fuel supply.
A compromise proposal, it was said
tonight, probably will be made eff
fective under which lights on New
York's great thoroughfare will not be
turned on until 8 o'clock p. m. this win
ter, instead of at 4:30 o'clock or 8
o'clock. as formerly. This, il is de-
clared, will reduce the apex load now
carried by electric producing companies
early in the night, which means the
consumption or a great amount Of coal.
Factories will nave closed by s o'clock
and the subway rush will have sub
sided.
Reduction of the use of coal for un-
necessary electric lighting throughout
the country is only one of the many
measures the conservation department
Of the fuel administration has under
consideration for increasing the supply
for householders and manufacturing es.
adjustments engaged in war work. A
general order will be prepared soon d.
recting coal producing concerns and
railroads to give priority of shipment
to dealers supplying domestic consum-
ers and to industries described as es-
sential.
II there still appears to be a short
age the list OF non-essential industries
will be extended until only those en-
gagged in war work and supplying the
population with necessaries will be
supplied.

Drops Four Servants
Who Oppose Hoover

When Mrs. Francis Butler Griffin, OF
515 Park Avenue, had signed food
conservation pledge yesterday she took
four more Of the cards to her kitchen.
One she gave to the butler, one TO the
cook, one to the assistant cook and one
TO the maid. All four declined to sign.
Mrs. Griffin informed them they could
pack their belongings and leave at once.
They did so, and she made tour Of
investigation, preliminary to donning an
apron and cooking Mr.. Griffin's dinner
herself. She discovered many evidences
Of waste, and told Mrs. r. L. Bigelow,
Manhattan chairman Of the coaserva-
tion campaign, that not only would she
see to it that her next servants were
economical, but she would open a
school to instruct those of her f.iends.

There are to be no exemptions in the
food army which is being recruited this
week in every household in New York
City. Every woman at the head Of a
household, whether she lives at the
top Of fight Of marble stairs, guarded
by footmen, or in the meanest OF
homes, where the canvassers fear it is
an impertinence to speak OF food saw
ing, will be asked to enlist under the
food administration Of Herbert c.
Hoover.
Ten thousand canvassers started out
yesterday morning at 8 o'clock, armed
with pledge cards, front window cards,
bearing the coat-of-arms Of the Hoover
administration, and kitchen cards, with
the food creed, to be hung under the
cooks very nose, so she will have no
chance to backslide.
Rebuffs on the Drive
The problem Of the exclusive home
was the first to be called to the atten-
ton of headquarters. Lordly keepers
Riverside Drive refused admission to
the canvassers. The names and ad-
dresses of these houses were taken,
and Arthur Williams, Federal Food
Administrator for New York, will take
the matter up with the owners.

treatments for all our canvassers in

Francis Yawger, chairman OF the
womans campaign. last night, "for we
had made arrangements in advance
with many superintendents that our
canvassers were TO have free access,
but if there were few exceptions
am sure we can change their point of
view, now that the campaign is under

Similar lack of hospitality in the
homes Of the wealthy was overcome in
most cases by the earnestness of the
workers.

Window Cards on Murray Hill
One of the most energetic can
vassers Of the 18th District was Mrs.
Frank c. Crocker, who reported excel

wives.
"They were only too glad to sigl the

she said "This whole Murray Hill sec

GERMANY'S FLEET
DEFEATED IN FIGHT
FOUR MINE SWEEPERS ARE DE
STROYED BY BRITISH PA
Troll BOATS.
NUMBER OF MEN CAPTURED
Engagement Took Place Off Coast
of Denmark Last Saturday-Teu-
ton Ships and Submarines
Took Part in Fight

London.-Four German mine sweep
ers were destroyed Saturday off the
coast of Jutland Denmark, by British
light forces.
A naval engagement occurred be.
tween British and German MOSQUITO
craft off Nyminde CAB, west coast of
Jutland. British destroyers attacked
four German armed trawlers and
drove them ashore.
A Ringkjobing paper says the
British bombarded the trawlers after
they grounded, completing their de-
struction.
About 100 German seamen were
landed, many of whom were severely
wounded. One rumor has it that 100
dead have come ashore. but appar-
emily this is a distorted version of
the fact that about 100 men reached
shore.
The German craft were presumably
engaged in patrolling and mine
sweeping to clear the route for Ger
man submarines.
German ships and submarines, &C
cording to one report. took part in
the fighting.
A semi-official Danish report says
that four German trawlers were driv.
en- ashore near Ringkjobing ford and
that the crews were landed.
The remainder of the fleet OF
German armed trawlers fled to the
south
In connection with the successful
British raid on a German armed
trawler fleet Saturday morning the
German trawlers, according to &C
counts. continued to fire after seek
ing refuge inside Danish territorial
waters.
The British raid appears to hav,
caught not only the trawlers, but sew
eral submarines. They latter wer,
compelled to submerge so hastil,
that some members of the crew
were unable to enter the hatche
and were left swimming in tn
water.

AIRMEN LIKE MEDALS
Many Refuse to Join American Army
On That Account.

Paris.-American aviators serving
in the French army, including the
relatively small group forming the La
Fayette escadrille, have been canvass
ed by American officers as to whether
they wished to leave their present
service and join the American army.
Seventy per cent of the Americans
Immediately said they would like to
go to the American army and aid in
the formation of an experienced aerial
corps.
Almost all the remaining 30 per cent
replied that they would join the Amer
lean army conditionally. One condi
ton often mentioned was the para
graph in the United States army re
gulations forbidding American soldiers
from wearing foreign decorations
Many of these aviators have won by
deeds of great courage one or all OF
the French military orders, the Legion
of Honor, the war cross or the military
medal.
Under the French service regulat
ions these decorations. or ribbons re
presenting them, must be worn al
ways on the uniform.

WILL NOT SEND GRAIN
TO HOLLAND RIGHT AWAY
Export Board of v. S. Declines to Let
Food go Overseas for 60 Days
at Least.

Washington. - Indications that the
United States intends to ration the
northern European neutral countries
in the strictest fashion were seen this
week in the admission that the exports
administrative board had disapproved
of an arrangement suggested by the
Dutch minister here and the Belgian
relief commission for division between
Holland and Belgium of the nearly 100
Dutch grain cargoes held in American
ports.
The general understanding had been
that the arrangement would be ap-
proved and that some of the vessels
would sail Immediately
The exports board, it was learned
will let no food cargoes go to Euro
pean neutrals for at least two months
or until the American government has
ascertained it's own food requirements
for the year and the size of the crops
that are being harvested. All the neu-
trails, it is held, can feed themselves
without difficulty until this informa-
ton is obtainable. The United States
wishes 10 know also the size of crops
to be harvested in the neutral coun-
tries this fall
1t was made clear that the United
States has no intention of letting neu-
trails go hungry, but emphasis was
placed in the fact that the government
feels its obligation to the American
people and to the allies.
Ask Aid of Neutral Ships.
The counter proposals to the Dutch
which the other neutrals are invited
to accept, is that all neutral vessels
now in American ports loaded with
foodstuffs discharge their cargoes and
proceed to Australia and Java fol
wheat and sugar. These cargoes would
be brought back to the United States
and the neutrals.
American government officials fee
that in asking the United States tC
supply them with foodstuffs the neu
trails should be willing to increase the
general food supply. This they would
do in transporting food cargoes from
Australia and Java where large sup
plies can not be moved because of the
general lack of shipping. The neu
trail ships would have returned with
in two months and by that time thu
United States would be in a better pc
sition also to say how much it cal
spare from it's own food store.

PERSHiNG PLEADS FOR
PATIENCE BEFORE BATTLE
Mistake to Rush Soldiers at Once to
Trenches, He DecIares-Must Be
Fully Prepared First.

Paris-Major General Pershing, who
has remained in Paris clearing up the
work at his old headquarters, declares
in connection with the plans for the
coming winter that the American peo-
pie must learn the meaning and value
of patience and not expect that the
expeditionary forces landed in France
can be rushed Immediately to the
front line trenches.
To put an inadequate, insufficiently
supplied force into actual combat, he
take, which the Germans unquestion-
ably have hoped and expected the
United States would make. 1t is the
determination, rather, that when Amer
lea does take her place in the line
shoulded to shoulder with the other
allies next year she will be fully
prepared to go through the summer
campaign and make the Germans feel
the full weight of her military power.
Plans Develop Fast.
Those of us who have fully studied
the situation and who know what is
necessary to be DONE" said General
Pershing, ARE anxious that the people
at home shall strive to realize the inn
mensity of the task in which we are
engaged and shall, through patience
and confidence, help us to accomplish
that task in the shortest possible time
Everything is going well with us, both
as a nation and as an army. We are
making giant strides day by day, but
we are just started.
1--WE came into the war without an
army. We have always been peace
loving people and undoubtedly the
great majority of us hoped we should
be spared war So now we must build
an entire new organization and build
it so big and strong that we can take
our place along with our allies, who
already have had three years and ex
perience. Our problems are greater
than any France or Great Britain
solve, but we are solving them anc
will continue to do so.

FINANCIAL NOTES.

The bank of Aberdeen, Idaho, will
be ready within 60 days to occupy
the business block now being erected
there. The bank will be of pressed
brick and will cost $4,000.
F. N. Whitmarsh, cashier of the
First National bank of Libby, Mont,
was recently elected to the position of
vice president of the bank, and ]. B.
Peterson of Coulee City, Wash, to the
position of cashier.
Financial circles have learned the
government is taking steps to control
millions of dollars in German-owned
cash in Wall street banks, and has
blacklisted all German banks in South
America. This will cut off all trad
ing with enemy banks and prevent
financial connections through which
German agents might be able to get
funds for their operations.

MINING NOTES

The earnings of the Electric Point
mine in July were 100000, according
to preliminary estimate from North
port. This is sufficient to pay a divi-
dend of cents a share. The surplus
is 100000. The ore reserve is esti-
mated at $1,5OO,000.
The calcine plant on the Double
Eagle property, installed by Professor
f. Nj. Handy, at Valley, is operating
successfully. 1t is producing 40 tons
of material weekly and has a capacity
of so tons which will be reached ulti-
mately. Wood is the fuel. The prop
erty has an area of so acres and was
acquired by Professor Handy for
$4,000.
The CRANKY Consolidated Mining,
Smelling and Power Co. has some big
plants for expansion, says a Boston
report. They call for substantial ex-
penditures, which will probably all be
financed through earnings. During
the last fiscal year, ended June 80,
the company spent approximately ST.
100000 for improvements. In the
current fiscal period just started prob
ably larger amount will be spent in
carrying to fruition plans under con-
sideration. Between $1,25O000 and
$1,250,000 and $1,500,00O will be spent
in developing and bringing to pro-
ductive stage the new coal and coke
property, all of which will be taken
from earnings and will not interfere
in any way with the maintenance of
the present 10 per cent dividend rate.
