More Production More Trouble

The administrations efforts have
been directed 10 a great extent to
the stimulation of production to meet
demands of war, but DR.. Garfield said
because Of the traffic congestion the
more we produced the more trouble we
added to the railroads. The normal
10 per cent. increase over the produc-
ton Of last year has been maintained.
he added. although the war has
brought a demand for an additional
10 per cent. over the 1916 output
which has not been met. In the past
few days. the private consumer has
been given more consideration tina
heretofore. Dr.. Garfield explained.
At first the main idea was to supply
the government and the railroads. but
with the suffering due to the shortage
in many places, he said. the admins
tration recently had devoted most Of
its time 10 attempting 10 get coal to
places where it was most needed. Con-
ditionS already are better. he stated,
though the situation was not we'll in
hand and would not be until transpor-
tation facilities were greatly improved.
DR.. Garfield said he was not familiar
with the dividends which many OF the
coal companies were paying. but that
he believes many operators We're max
ing more money thar ever before. Cool
prices he regarded Us necessary TO
large production.

Italians Again Give Ground

The battle wages throughout the
morning with great violence and the
Italians wrested several Of their for
mer positions from the enemy but ow-
ing to renewed cnslaughts by the
Teutonic allied forces, they We're again
compelled to give ground.
The Berlin war office admits that the
Italians threw heavy counter ttacks
against the invaders on the Col Del
RosSo and neighboring sectors, but as
| serts that all of them broke down UNI
der heavy losses.
The situation surrounding the peace
parleys between the Austro-Germans and
the Russians is still beclouded owing TO

Germans had failed to return an answer
to the demands made by the Bolshevlki
delegates.
