COAL MINES
Government Threatens the
Michigan Operators if
They Do Not Accede
TO REGULATION
ON PRICES FIXED
New England to Get Benefit
of Order Issued by
Garfield

Washington, D. c., Nov. Michigan
coal operators were warned by Fuel Ad-
mipistrator Garfield to-day that the gov
ernment will take over and operate their
mines if they carry out their threat OF
refusing to sell coal at the government
fixed prices to relieve the coal shortage
in New England.
Mr.. Garfield to-day directed all coal
Iaines which are under contract to sup
ply New England customers with coal
by water carriers to deliver their maxi
mum monthly requirements. The order
will become effective Dec. l.
New England is said to be suffering
worse for coal now than any other part
of the country. Many industries face an
actual shortage and some, it is declared,
will have to shut down unless they are
supplied Immediately. The situation is
not so bad in the middle West, which
has been supplied temporarily by lift
ing the priority order for one day at
two different times.

ATTENDED RATE HEARING.
c. d. Waters of Montpelier & Wells
River R. r. Returns.

G. d. Waters, general passenger and
freight agent of the Montpelier s. Wells
River railroad, returned last night from
Boston, where he has been attending the
rate hearing that has been in progress
before the interstate commerce commits.
sion relative 70 an increase in freight
rates and probably mileages in passen-
ger service. He does not think there is
danger of losing the use of mileages be-
cause the statutes of most of the states
in this section of the country provide
that mileages shall be issued in each
state by the railroads, Vermont is in
cluded in that number. OF course the
railroad companies would like to get rid
of these and some of them advance the
idea that the man who has Is cents and
the one with money enough to buy a
mileage should be given the same price
for a ride between the same points.
Relative to the increase in freight rates
rs asked for he had not reached an opinion
in the matter. There was a great deal of
valuable information presented, which
shows reasons why the increase should
1e allowed. Probably further informa
ion will be sought by the commission.
The public service commissions of the
New England states and New York at
ended the hearings. Vermont's com
mission took but little part in the dis
ussion but the Massachusetts commits
ion appeared particularly antagonistie
o the increase in rates.

DISPUTE OVER CHILD.
Caused Court to Decide Girl Was Not
Well Enough to Go Visiting.

| Brattleboro, Nov. 24.--After being in
continuous session since September IL,
or more than 10 weeks, the September
term of Windham county court took
final adjournment at $3.50 O'Clock yester-
day afternoon. In the matter of the
custody of Hazel Blanding, nine. of
Guilford, whose father, A. j. Blanding
of Brattleboro, claims that the courts or
der that she be brought here every Sun
day to spend the day with him was not
being carried out, the court held that the
testimony of physicians indicated that
the girls condition did not warrant her
being taken away from home. No or
der was made in the case.
Dr. w. II. Lane went to see the child
yesterday morning and said she was
normal and could be brought here safely.
but DIR. George r. Anderson, who per-
formed an operation upon her Nr appen-
dicitis a few months ago and DIR. H. L.
Waterman, who has attended her,

ALMOST UNFRIENDLY ACT.
Bolsheviki Move for an Armistice with
Germany.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 24.-OfficiaIs
of this government regard the Bolshviki
move for an armistice between Russia
and her enemies and the opening of i'm
mediate negotiations as an act that
would place Russia almost in the list of
unfriendly nations.
Press dispatches telling of the peace
movement were confirmed by cable
gram from Ambassador Francis received
yesterday at the state department. 1t
is said that Leon Trotzky, national com
missioner for foreign affairs in the Boil
sheviki government has sent formal no.
tification to diplomats at Petrograd that
his government had proposed an armis-
tice with view to immediate peace ne
gotiations.
Ambassador Francis has been given no
instructions to deal with the Bolsheviki
government. In reporting to the state
department on the peace move, he made
clear that he had not formally acknowl-
edged receipt of the Trotzkv note He
said he had been advised that the Soviet
congress had adopted a resolution in
structing generals at the front to enter
into negotiations at once with German
commanders relative to three months
armistice, with instructions to report 10
the congress.
Reports that Russia was seeking peace
created great interest in official and dip
lomatic circles, and every dispatch from
Petrograd was analyzed during the. day
with the hope that some promise might
be found that Russia would continue the
fight against the common enemy.

AMERICAN TROOPS
IN EUROPE INCREASE
Sec. Baker Says the Number There is Up
to the Expectation of the War
Department at the Outset.

Washington, ID. G., Nov. 24.--Arrival
of American troops in France has kept
pace with the expectation of the war de-
partment, Secretary Baker said last
night in the first statement he has ever
authorized in connection with the prog.
ress being made in increasing General
Pershings forces. Mr.. Baker declined,
however, to state the number of troops
forwarded, or to indicate whether he an
ticipated delay from this time. Move
ment of the forces, he said depended on
two elements, the training and equipment
of the men and the availability of ships.
Gas fast as they are ready, ships and
men will be combined" the secretary
said. "As many American troops are
now overseas as we expected in the be-
ginning to have overseas at this time"
Mr.. Baker indicated that an official
statement of the number of American
troops in France was not to be expected
at any time during the war He caused
an inquiry to be made of the military
censor, Major General Mcintyre, however, j
which may result in more liberal regula
tions as to publication of the designa
tions of regiments, brigade or companies
which are engaged in action on the front
from time to time. If there is no sound
military reason for suppressing that in
Mr.. Baker said, he desired to
give it out.
The secretary's attention was called to
he fact that the British official state
nents recently have named at least by
geographical designation the troops used
n various offensives. Apparently new
'olicy in this regard has been adopted in |
london and the war department may do
likewise.

A letter received by Mr. and Mrs. Will
liam A. Carroll of Washington street
comes from their son, Private w. A.
| Carroll, jr, member of the American
expeditionary forces assigned to the 9th

Dear father and mother: VIII write
you few lines now that We are settled
in permanent camp We were nearly
two weeks getting here from America,
but we arrived safe aud sound. / am in
good health and hopeAthis finds YOU an
the same We are not allowed to write
everything we wish to, but | will tell YOU
about the country here. The weather is
much the same as at home, although
there is not the snow that we have II
only SHOWS about six or eight inches at
time and lasts but two or three days.
They have lots of rain here TO make up
for the snow that we get. This is
great fruit country. Apples and pears
are the chief fruit. They are so plenti-
ful that they are spelling in the orchards
for the lack of help to pick them up.
They would find good market in New
England. Cider is made here and the
chief beverage is wine and cider, red and
white wine. will be a regular French
man when | return. | have made the
of some French soldiers
down here. They talk their tongue cas-
ily. Have no trouble at all in speaking
with them. And if we stay here three
years | win forget my English, as I do |
not speak English any more than / have
to-.
We are living in large barracks at this
camp. Also, we have steel beds and real |
mattresses to sleep on. Almost like
home TO us. We are getting good food
here. Have had plenty of hardtack, but
getting bread now The summer has
gone by so fast that now we do not real
re that winter is almost here. The sur
-ounding country makes me think of
New England, because of the mountains.
Nearly forgot to tell you about the
team cars. They are some cars, believe
men in one part and four
,arts to each car, although they travel
,retty fast. The engines resemble the
lump engines on the quarries, Billy.
