MORE FOR ANTHRACITE COAL.
Workers Get Wage Increase That To
tails S3O.OO0,oOo.

NEW YORK, April 27.-Coal men
estimate that the wage increase granted
to $4,000 miners in the anthracite
fields will raise the retail price of
hard coal an average of go cents ton.
The agreement signed by representa-
tives of the operators and the United
Mine Workers of America adds approx
mately $50 100000 year to the miners
wages and is the largest increase award
ed in the history of the anthracite in
dustry.
The advance averages 20 per cent
virtually the same as that recently
received by the 255,000 workers in the
bituminous fields. The agreement re
mains in effect until April |, 1918.
The miners ask for higher wages to
meet the rising cost of living and the
operators granted the increases volun
tarily. Like the bituminous settle
ment negotiated last week. said 6

of the mine workers, the outcome OF
the anthracite negotiations most for

lective bargaining in the time of peace

Eight prisoners were taken to the
state penitentiary at Lansing today by
Sheriff Hugh Larimer. They ranged
from bootleggers to murderers. Their
sentences range from one year, the
minimum, to life, the maximum.
Claude Biggers, a young negro, is
the one life prisoner. He was con-

John Cox, deputy game warden,
south of Topeka last fall.

London, April with the capture

momentarily to the eastern line in
the belief that preliminary rumors of
the massing of German reserves on

Immediately after the Russian pro-
visional government assumed control,
the menace of a German push toward
Petrograd was foreseen in hurried
preparations which the enemy was
adopting on the front nearest the Rus
sian capital. Germany evidently hoped
to take advantage of the lack of Or
ganization of the new democracy. 1t
was the duma governments first care
to strengthen this army with supplies.

FEAR RUSS DRIVE WHAT U. S. CAN DO
Expect Her to Specialize in
Aviation and Machine Gun.
British Also Hope for More
Volunteer Hospital Corps.

British Headquarters in France,
April 5, via London.-There is much
speculation in the British army as to
what assistance in a military sense
America might render the allies. Re
gardless of what theorists may say,
practical fighting men here believe
that the United States would want to
have representation with the allied
army on this front and would send
over a considerable fighting force
within six months, provided the war
lasts that long.
Germany and Great Britain are fight
ing with new armies, Britain because
she did not have an army, in the Eu
rOpean sense before the war began
and Germany because her forces are
largely made up of classes called to
the colors since 1914, a large proper
ton having only five months train
ing. 1t is generally figured now that
a good soldier can be made within
six months. The organization behind
the fighting force must be built up
by genius but it is thought here that
America easily can meet that emerg-
ency.
1t is also argued in army circles
that America might we'll specialize in
such branches as aviation and ma
chine gun detachments. The airplanes
however, would have to come up to
high standard and must make at
the best English and French ma
chimes. One definite thing expected
is that America will undoubtedly in
crease many fold the hospital and
medical assistance which she is al
ready voluntarily rendering the allies.

Complete mobilization of farmers as

sources are carefully organized mill
tary organization will be seriously
hampered, Dean WOODS believes. Inc

Governor Burnquist and urge that the
state commissioner of labor be made
director of agricultural mobilization.
Recruits Will Take Farm Hands.
Recruiting of an army of 500, 600
will cut into the already short supply
of farm labor very seriously" said
Dean Woods. AT the same time
Canadian farm owners are drawing
farm hands from the United States at
the rate of 100 day. Unless labor is
held for use by American farmers, the
nation will face a more serious food
shortage than ever before.

HOW RAISE ARMY
Plan Means of Registering All
Males, 20 to % Years.
Some Concern Over Fate of
Army Bill in Congress.

Washington, April 5.-Means of reg
istering all single men between the
ages of 20 and % fixed under the uni
versal training bill and those to be
exempted were discussed today by the
executive council of the committee
on labor of the national defense coun-
Gil.
Cooperation with state and munic
ipal governments toward accomplish
ing this work will be sought, under
general plans of state aid in placing
the government on a war footing.
1t apparently is the intention of the
war department to aim for an army
with two million men as its first OBJ
ject, the men to be raised in mere
ments of 100000 as rapidly as they
can be differed and trained. All sin
gle men in the early twenties will be
subjected to the first draft under the
plan.
Anticipate Hot Debate.
Now that congress has nearly COM
pleted its action on the war resolution
there is beginning to be some uneasi-
ness over the universal training idea.
1t took the president a long time to
become reconciled to it and it was
National Defense could secure an
universal training as the best way to
raise an army.
Under the circumstances Democratic
leaders in congress predict rather ex-
tended debate on the question but they
feel that under the pressing circum-
stances, it will go thru more quickly
than in normal times

1T is AID FROM GOD
That's Churchill's Comment on Amer
ica'S Move Towards War.

London, April 5.-''A God granted
aid to struggling Christendom," was
the way Colonel Winston Spencer
Churchill, former first lord of the ad-
miralty. characterized Americas en-
trance into the war in a speech in the
House of Commons today.
Colonel Churchill virtually admitted
that but for this new ally the cause of
the entente was perilously near ca
tastrophe. No prudent man, he said,
would have said without successful
contradiction that the issue of this war
was settled. He placed, however,
great confidence in the aid America
is to render. The allies position, he
stated, had never been so serious since
Even with America in the war on the
ententes side, the exertion of every
ounce of energy is needed, he added.
Colonel Churchill told the house that
the most terrible months of the war
were still ahead.
A similarly grave statement was
made by General Sir William r.
Robertson, chief of the Imperial staff
at army headquarters in a speech to
that Germany has today more divisions
in the field than last year and has in
creased the number of her soldiers by
about 100000 men
While ridiculing the idea that the
German retirement in the west was
voluntary, saying that no one in war
retires voluntarily. General Robertson
said Germany was by no means beaten
He said more men were desperately
needed.
Arthur Henderson, member of the
war council presided at the meeting
which was also addressed by Admiral
Sir John Jellicoe first sea lord
