Columbus, o., Dec. 12.--GoVernor
James M. Cox tonight branded the
agitation for coal TOR the north

starved to death as an 'unspeakable
outrage" declaring he had discovered

called on to explain why he placed r.
c. Baird at the head of the lake ship

Got No Satisfaction.
Governor Cox declared that when he
called on Mr.. Baird today for the re-
lease of lake coal now idle on sidings,
Baird not only wanted de state to
stand responsible for payment to the
operators, but stipulated the price to
be paid must be the higher contract
price which 1t would have brought IL

The northwest had a season con-
tract for coal and ii was pointed out
that the fuel control permitted prev

After several days of appeals to
Washington coal was moving in Ohio
today, without the aid of the federal
fuel administration and against the
protest of Mr.. Baird, it was said. Gov
ernor Cox took action which amount
ed virtually to confiscation.
At least ii was eonfiseation from
Mr.. Baird, who, according to Cover

divert 1t. The federal government
may not construe 1t as unlawful con-
fiscation because it authorized use of
the coal for domestic consumption
within the state.

coal as directed by him.

OFFENSIVE LAUNCHED
WEST OF CAMBRIA
Teutons Get Footing in Only
About 500 Yards Of English
Trenchesi Suffer Terrific
Losses, Is Report.


London, Dec. IA fierce mass at
tack was made by the Germans today
against the elbow in the bend of the
British line between Bullecourt and
Queant (about ten n res west of Cam
braid, says Reuters correspondent al
British headquarte' in France. Theif
intention was to cverwhelm their OPP
ponents by sheer weight of numbers.
Owing to the st3unchness of the Brit
ish opposition, me attack only enabled
the Germans to get footing in about
500 yards of the British front line,
when the at tack was arrested.
Battle Bitter One.
Thus the attack was reduced to the
limits of a very small local success at
the most. The correspondent adds
that it is difficult to get details, but
the fighting lasted from dawn until l
o'clock in the afternoon and the con-
tinuance of firing after that suggested
a brush encounter.
In his description of the battle, the
correspondent says:
What was apparently intended as a
German attack upon the sector of our
line east of Bullecourt was delivered
shortly after dawn and, owing to the
staunchness of our troops, was re-
duced to the limits of very small
local success at the most The spot
the enemy chose was the elbow in the
bend of our line between Bullecourt
and Queant.
"The Germans opened an intense
BON bardment as the first streaks of
a frosty dawn were paling the eastern
sky. Our artillery promptly replied
with a barrage put down between the
opposing trenches, in order to catch
any infantry advance
"Assaulting waves of Bayarian
troops came over in close formation.
II was the manifest intention to throw
great pressure upon the front of the
attack and overpower the defenders II
possible, by sheer weight of num-
bers.'
Fierce Fighting Occurs.
Fierce fighting ensued, but 1t Is
too early to get details since com
munications are always difficult dur
ing engagements. SO far as ] can
fathom, the Germans managed to get
some sort of a footing in about 500
Yards of our front line before the at
tack was arrested.
"The artillery fire continued until
about 1880 o'clock when it died down
but the constant rattle of machine
guns suggested that some fightine
was still in progress, and 1T is quite
possible that we were counter-attack-
ing. 80,
"This is really all there is to tell.
II seems reasonable to believe that
the Germans failed in their project
whatever it was, since the extent OF
their gain was so small and so indefi-
mite in point Of tactical achievement
that it is difficult to regard 1t as rep.
resenting any complete scheme OF
operations.
"The weather remains fine and dry,
so that open warfare is still possible
at time of the year when normally
both sides would be settled into win
ter quarters"
