In the Mexican war. At the end Of
the war he held the commission Of
captain. one Of his promotions being
'fOr gallant and mcrltorious conduct
Mt COntreras and ChurubuscO." From
that time until the Civil war he served
In various engineering capacities and
as military observer In Europe at
the time Of the Crimean war.
In 1891 Mcclellan was appointed
major general Of the Ohio volunteers,
and little later In an eight day CAM
paign In West Virginia, drove the en-
envy from the Great Kanawha and
captured 1000 prisoners. writing to
Washington that he had completely
annihilated the enemy In western Wiz
ginia." Immediately after the battle
Of Bull Run. Mcclellan was called to
Washington and assigned to the COM
mand Of the department Of Washing
ton ind Northeastern Virginia. A
month later. while recognising the
Army Of the Potomac. he was invested
with its command. and on tho retire
ment Of General Scott was made coss-
innnder Of oil the armies Of the United
States. Later. owing to differences Of
opinion between Mcclellan and the
secretary Of war. he was made COM
mnndcr Of the Army Of the Potomac
only. and served In this capacity un-
TIL. owing to disapproval Of his poll
cics. he was relieved Of his command
In November. 1852.
Although the military success that
was expected from Mcclellan on &C.
count Of his early activities wan never
achieved. nevertheless he rendered
very great service In the organization
and training Of the Army Of the PotO-
mac. which did much to bring tho
war to close. His popularity never
wnned. and he was idolixed 6y tho
army. The most substantial proof Of
his popularity was hix nomination by
the Democratic party for the pred.
dency Of the United States In 1884.

SEIZURE OF COAL ORDERED
Further Holding of Fuel for Prices
Higher Than Those Set by Admin
istrator Will Be Stopped.

Washington, D. C.-Thousands OF
tons of coal held for contract sale by
jobbers will be seized by the Govern
ment in it's continued effort to allevi-
ate stringent coal conditions preva-
lent throughout the country. DR.. H.
A. Garfield, Federal Fuel Administra-
tor, issued an order directing Fuel Ad-
minfstrators for the states to seize
this coal and put it on the market i'm
mediately. Jobbers will be guarded
against loss, but further holding of
coal for prices higher than those set
by the Administers tor will be stopped
forthwith. Sales Iaay be made at con-
tract prices, plus che jobber's margin,
as fixed by President Wilson. Under
previous orders, coal contracted for
by jobbers could be sold only at the
prices fixed by the President.
Great quantities of coal had been
contracted for by jobbers, previously
to President Wilson's price-fixing or
Ter, at prices higher than the fixed
prices. Unable to sell at a price equiv
alent to the cost of the coal to them,
obbers simply have held their sup
lilies.

MARCHING AGAINST CAPITAL;
LENINE-TRoTZKY GOVERN
MENT RAPIDLY CRUMBLING
feated And The Garrison Has
Gone Back to Kerensky Side.

London.-Alexande Kerensky is
back in the ring. At the head of
100000 loyal troops he is marching on
Petrograd. In the capital the sup
port behind the Lenine-Trotzky bund
rapidly is crumbling. The Railway
Workers Union, which can tie up all
Russia over night, has deserted the
Bolshevki Government and a strike is
threatened. The Moscow Red Guard
has been defeated and the garrison
has gone back to Kerensky's side.
The garrison of Petrograd, Lenine's
chief weapon, is wavering. Troops
backing Kerensky have taken Tsars-
ko Selo, Is miles south of Petrograd,
where former Emperor Nicholas had
his great palace that later became his
prison. A battle is going on in the
streets of Petrograd, and the Cossacks
have joined the Minimalists and are
mastering the Maximalists.
The rails of the Petrograd- Gatchina
have been torn up in an effort |
to prevent an advance on the capital |
by the supporters of Kerensky. All the |
except M. Terestchenko,
and Kishkin, are reported
to have been released. from the st.
Peter and st. Paul fortress. Details
Of how Kerensky succeeded in escap-
ng the fate of his fellow-ministers are
rs yet lacking, but in it's rough out
inc the story could be pieced together
rom eye-witnesses, reports and ru-
nors. The night that the Bolsheviki,
,erched on motor cars bristling with
Machine guns, tore loose against the
Government, there came
Iashing from the direction of the
laurie palace a great gray automobile {
ambulance. It's changing bell COM /
handed gangway everywhere, causing

enture, to let the sick man" pass.

DAVIS Philosophy.

Old Davy Skinner, fisherman on
the Cape Cod coast, was noted for I'M
failing self-poise and economy Of
mOrds. No one ever knew Old Davy
to become in the least excited, nor did
he ever waste a word.
One summer day he was rowing
along in his boat, when dory contain
ing five or six young summer people
was captized near him. Naturally
there were screams and wild confu-
sion, in the midst of which Davy
rowed over to the scene of the disas--
ter and said placidly to the young peo~
pie who were clinging to the boat
for help:
Hadn't you better git in?"

of approximately 10000. While the
suffragists were winning in the East
returns from Ohio indicated defeat for

overwhelming victory in Massachu-

F. Hylan, Democrat, defeated Mayor
John P. Mitchell, candidate for re-elec-
ton, by plurality of more than 140,-
600. The entire Tammany city ticket
also was elected. The Socialist vote
showed a gain of more than 400 per
