PACIFIC COAST
ISN'T awake To
WAR, SAYS ROOT
Peace Speaker Ayers Feeling
Grows More Tense Farther
East.

California and the Pacific coast
haven't wakened yet to the serious
ness of the war, and the war feeling
grows more tense the farther east one
goes, says Robert c. Root, of San
Francisco, Pacific Coast director of
the American Peace Society.
"California hasn't really wakened to
the war yet" says Root. "Of course,
their boys are going, and they are
holding big training camps out there.
But there isn't the real feeling and
responsibility and seriousness that
there is farther east. Chicago is the
place where the war spirit is most
evident"
Root does not expect the Pope's pro-
posal to bring peace. The Germans
are evidently willing to talk peace.
but the allies are holding off, he says.
Root has been in the middle west
speaking to Friends meetings for
some time, and stopped in Richmond
Wednesday morning. He will appear
on the program of the Five Years
here in October.

INDIANA COAL
PRICES FIXED

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-President
Wilson, in a drastic executive order,
fixed tentative scale of prices for
bituminous coal at the mines in near
ly all the coal producing districts of
the country tonight
The president, acting under author
ity given him in the Lever bill, cut the
prices agreed upon last June by the
operators in conference with Secretary
Lane, the federal trade commission,
and the coal production committee
headed by Francis S. Peabody. In
some instances the president sliced
more than 81 ton off the voluntary
prices fixed at that much controverted
conference.
1T is provisional only" the presi-
dent said of the price scale which he
had decreed, subject to change when
a method Of administering the fuel
supplies Of the country has been deter
mined upon and put into operation
This plan, it was unofficially de-
clared tonight, will include the ap-
pointment of a coal administrator. 1t
is very probable that Harry A. Gar
field, president Of Williams college,
now acting as chairman of the wheat
price fixing committee, will be the coal
administrator. He will be through
with this task Sept. l. Mr.. Garfield
conferred with the president at the
White House tonight after an hours
discussion with William B. Colver, coal
expert of the federal trade commits
sion.
The prices for Indiana, as fixed by
President Wilson are: Run-of-mine,
S195; prepared sizes. $2.2O. slack or
screenings, s1.70.

(By Associated Press)

Another of the rapid succession of
blows which the French and British
are striking at various points along
the Franco-Belgium front fell this
morning on the Germans in the region
of Ypres where the British were held
up last week In their new drive in
conjunction with the French forces
to the north
At dawn the British advanced over
the fiercely contested field between
Langemarck and Frezenberg. No de-
tails have been received thus far of
the new battle, which is being fought
over section strongly organized by
the Germans with concrete redoubts
and machine gun nests in shell holes.
The Importance of these positions is
shown by the desperate counter at
tack last week by the Germans after
the Irish troops had made consider
able headway.
Drive Irish Back.
Massing great number Of men, the
Germans drove back the Irish after
one Of the most bitter local engage
ments of the year.
Sharp fighting continues around the
coal mining center of Lens in the out
skirts of which the British are max
ing progress in spite of the determin-
ed resistance of the Germans Count
er-attack during the night failed to
shake the British from their new posi-
tons and further gains at some points
are reported officially from London in
which Germans last night continued
their efforts to recapture ground gain
ed in the new French offensive on the
Verdun front. Heavy counter-attacks
were made on both sides of the Meuse
and although the Germans were able
to gain footing temporarily in the
new French position at points, they
we're soon driven out. The number of
prisoners taken by the French has
reached 6,116. Several strong attacks

RUSSIAN MOBILES
Want TO VOTE

PETROGRAD, Aug. 22.-The mill
tary council of the Dons has announc-
ed its support Of the constitutional
democratic party and its desire to
form a fusion with that party in the
approaching elections. The Astrakhan
Cossacks have withdrawn their repre-
sentatives from the workmen's and
soldiers group, basing their action
upon the statue of the council as a
self-constituted organization.
A letter of protest against the pro-
hibition of the former imperial family
from participating in the coming cleo
tions has been addressed by Grand
Dukes Nicholas Michaelovitch and
Paul Alexandrovitch to Vassili Makla-
koff who is charged with working out
a plan for the constituent assembly
The letter bears also the signature of
virtually all the grand dukes and
grand duchesses and states that the
former emperor joins in the protest
In another communication to Pre-
mier Kerensky, Grand Duke Paul AL
exandrovitch asks permission to make
his home in Sweden alleging that he
finds the cost of living in Russia bur-

Italians Lose SeIo.
Vienna comedies that the Italians
have forced back the Austrians at
some points In the new battle of the
Isonzo. The Austrian war office re-
ports the loss of the village OF Sele

below Auzza on the Isonzo south of
Tolmino. 1t is said more than $500
Italians have been captured.
Two aerial raids over England have
been made in the last "a hours. Ear
ly today ten German airplanes ap-
preached the Kentish coast and al
though they were unable to penetrate
far inland, dropped bombs on the i'm
portant channel port Of Dover. Two
of the planes were brought down.
Three persons were killed and two in
jured by bombs. Evidently an attempt
to reach London was expected as a
warning was sounded in the city.
Several air ships visited the York
shire coast in the north of England
during the night. Only slight damage
was inflicted. Bombs were dropped at
the mouth of the Humber.
