nerience convinced him that the mat
game was no place for an athlete of
his attainments
Happy used to wrestle with three
and four of his companions at once.

CLASSIFY INDUSTRIES TO
DISTRIBUTE COAL IS PLAN
Fuel Administration to Requisition
10 Per Cent of Output for Gov
ernment Purposes.

Classification of all industries re-
curing coal in the order of their i'm
portance and the requisitioning OF
10 per cent of the output of every coal
mine for government purposes are two
steps contemplated by the United
States fuel administration to meet the
coal situation this winter. From the
governments 10 per cent pile distrl-
buttons may be made to meet emer-
eencies wherever they arise.
Consumption is keeping pace so
closely with production that many
parts of the country are feeling the
pinch of a coal shortage. Industries
essential to the public welfare in many
cities face the prospect of closing
down and thousands of householders
have found it impossible to purchase
a winters supply of fuel.
Supply Emergency Needs.
The fuel administration has met the sit
nation as best it could by ordering in
dividual mines to supply emergency needs.
but il has been decided that a govern
ment pile OF spot COAL will best serve
the rurpose. Operators will be directed
to trim contracts generally to furnish the
10 per cent desired. Within short time
the fuel administration will classify all
industries in the order of their importance
and will direct that they be supplied with
coal according to their classification. Is
sential industries and householders VIII
be classed under the heading a and
other will be rated as in the opinion ol
the government they should be supplied
Objects to Independent Action.
DR.. Garfield. fuel administrator, has
taken a firmer grasp of the labor situa-
ton at the mines by directing that no IN
dependent action be taken. either by
operators or miners. to force any settle
ment of a dispute without submitting the
matter in controversy to him. This ap-
plies to all districts.
The fuel administration has asked F. j.
Hayes. international president OF the
United Mine Workers OF America. to use
his influence on the striking miners in
kansas. 80 that they will return. to work
nending a settlement of the controversy

LONDON, November 6, by Canadian
Press.-An appalling story Of cold
blooded massacres by Germans Of crews
battle is told by the Norwegian news
papers. The Tidenstegn said the Ger

British vessels, but at o'clock. when
there was more light, they suddenly be-
gan shooting and the convoy was ter
rif1ed to see the British destroyer at the
stern Of the convoy begin to sink. al
though it fought to the end. The Ger
man cruisers, after signaling the ves-
sells to stop, advanced on each side of
the convoy, which they swept with all
their guns at a range of less than zoo
yards.
Shell Defenseless Ships.
The German destroyers came up and
helped to spread death and. destruction
on the defenseless ships, shells falling
thick and fast. The Germans were not
content TO sink the ships. but shelled
the lfeboats. and every living thing
coming their way was mercilessly
lives to theeMgh sea which was rum
ming. making the boats difficult mark.
In the midst of the massacre another
British destroyer came up and immedi-
ately attacked. but was soon sunk in
the unequal struggle. The German
fotilla then cruised backward and
forward among the sinking steamers
pouring a fresh and terrible rain of
shells at a range of 100 yards. One
shell went through the Swedish ship
Wirndar. exploding in lifeboat on the
other side and killing all its occupants,
four men and three women.
Lifeboats Fired Upon.
The other hfeboat rowed back to
rescue the captain and two mattresses
from the wreck. A shell struck the
boat and killed FIVE of her occupants

The captain was saved by clinging to
