SOFT COAL OPERATORS
 CONFER WITH DANIELS
Should Furnish Goal in Patriotic
 Spirit and Not Profit.

Washington, July r. Secretary Daniels told about five hundred soft coal operators from Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Maryland today that they should come forward and supply coal to the government for war purposes in the same spirit that the men who put on the American uni form offer their services.
 The coal men met with government officials to discuss prices and produc- tion, having been called by the coal production committee of the council of national defence
 The army and navy need great quantities of coal for war operations, Secretary Daniels said, and he told the operators that he considered 1t a privilege rather than a sacrifice on their part to supply the coal needed and later adjust the prices to be paid. He said the steel producers had agreed to furnish the government with their entire output if necessary and await adjustment of prices.
 It was disclosed that the govern nent needs from three to four mil lion tons of coal in addition to the l. 1000 tons already arranged for.
 Commissioner Co1ver told the oper- ators that the trade commission fla vored pooling all the coal in the Unit ed States for distribution by the gov ernment to the army and navy, the industries and the people He said cost of production and a fair profit He said this was no time to consider prices and that nobody could run the price up on the government without running it up on themselves, as the government and the people are one

ON VARIOUS SECTORS OF SOUTH
 ERIN FRANCE LINE
VICTORIES FOR BOTH
Artillery Duels and Small Operations Carried Out by Raiding Parties Where British Are Facing Germans For Strategic Reasons Russians Forced to Evacuate KaIucx, Without Any Loss.

There has been no relaxation in the intensity of the fighting between the French and the Germans on various sectors of the southern line in France Lrom the region of Soissons eastward through the Champagne and into the district northeast of Vcrdun centerlng about the famous Hill S04.
 Victories are recorded for both sides for the Germans along the Laon Soissons road in the penetration and destru ction of French trenches and in Champagne north of Mont Teton, where the forces of the crown prince previ- ously had been repulsed with heavy casualties, and for the French in the Verdun sector, where General Petain' s forces in a mighty effort took enemy lines on a front of a mile and a half to a depth of about two-th1rds of a mile.
 The success of the Germans north of Mont Teton was obtained through persistent counter-attacks on positions they had lost last Saturday, in which their losses had been extremely heavy. that all the old German positions were recaptured, the Paris official com municatio declares that the troops of the crown prince only regained foot ing al certain points in the trench ele- mentS.
 Artillery duels and small operations carried cut by raiding parties continue to feature the situation on the line where the Br1I1Sn are 1dC11lS the 1eI- mans. Intensive air fighting is still in progress in this region, in the latest of which six German machines were driven down and three others forced down out of control by British airmen, whose machines all returned from their forays.
 The Russians in East Galicia have been forced for strategic reasons to evacuate the town of Kalusz and take up positions on the southern side of the Lomnica river.
 The important crossing of the Lom- nica was made secure by the troops of General BIussiIoff after they made their retreat. Previous to retiring the Germans had carried out persistent at tacks on Kalusz, but the Russians had repulsed all of them. Serious fighting has taken place in this immediate re- zion for the village of Novica, the Austro- Germans capturing it. but later being driven out on the arrival of Rus ussian reserves.
 Heavy arti1lely fighting continues along the northern front around Riga, Dvinsk and Smorgon, but yet the extent of the operations has not yet been revealed in any of the official communications.
 In Rumania along the Danube, Rus sian scouts captured the village of Dunaevec and most of it's defenders, but later abandoned the position.
 In none of the other theatres have there been battles of any great mo- ment.

MATTHIAS ERZBERGER
 MAKES PUBLIC APOLOGY
He Attached the Pan- Germans and
 Submarine Campaign.

Amsterdam. July 17.-In a lengthy apology published by the Catholic Center party of Germany for the ac- tion of Deputy Matthias Erzberger in ttacking the Pan-Germans and the submarine campaign, the following oc- CUTS:
 "Centainly our fronts stand unshak- able. Our strongest offensive force, the U-boats, injures England immeas- urably. Nevertheless no end is to be foreseen at this moment. Hope had arisen that the end of the war might be brought about by mid summer through the U-boats. Expectations were aroused which were not real ized. This statement, however. inn plies no doubt in the efficiency of the U-boats. It has occurred to no one to suggest the stoppage Of submarine warfar."
 Tn statement explains that by the term parliamentarization the party means closer contact between parlia- ment and the government. It express es regret that parliamentarians are not summoned more frequently to par ticipate in the government. Never theless. the Center insists that the or ganization of the empire through the federal statutes must be preserved.

HERBERT c. He YER No Transactions i1 lures or Spec
 ulating in Coo ,dties.

New York, July 17.-Alexander J. Hemphill, chairman of the advisory committee appointed by President Will son to cooperate with the Commis- sion for Relief in Belgium, denied to- day the charge made in the United States senate yesterday by Senator Reed of Missouri that Herbert c. Hoover had gambled in the food or clothing, as chairman of the com mission.
 The charge that MT. Hoover rig ged' the market in his purchase of supplies for Belgium is absolutely un- true, said MT. Hemphill. All pur- chases made in Belgian relief work were for cash. There were no trans actions in futures, no gambling, or speculating in commodities as the slightest investigation would quickly reveal.
 'The method pursued was simple. Officers in charge of the work for the allies gave MT. Hoover at inter- vals the amount of food he would be allowed to take into Belgium. That programme was sent to this country and supplies were bought as far as the funds and the available shipping would permit. Under an arrange ment with France and England, funds were provided on a monthly basis, and the committee never had a large sum of money available at one time. Such commitments were usually somewhat in excess of it's cash resources

MAKE CONDUCT OF WAR CLEAN PATRIOTIC, HEROIC AT HOME
SEC'Y CARL VROONIAN
Business Men of Nation Have Shown Patriotism Never Before, But There Are Exceptions in Steel Mag nates-sore Men Are Too old to Enlist, But None Too Old to Make Sacrifice for Country.

Washington, July 17.-An appeal to the business world to make the con cuct of this war as clean and patriotic as heroic, and self acrfhcing at home as IL Is in the trenches of France and Flanders" was issued today by Carl Nrooman, assistant secretary of agri- culture.
 Never before have the business men of nation shown as much patriotism s they have shown in the United States during the past three months" said MT. NrOOman in a formal state ment. "D unfortunately, however there nave been exceptions to this rule. only recently we have seen the secretary of the navy and the chairman Of the shipping board forced into the arena in hand hand struggle with an organization of unpatrlotic, selfish. sodden steel magnates.
 If an army of civilian patriots be not organized to stand behind the president and fight this great fight for business honor while our boys in khaki are fighting and dying tri- umphantly in the trenches. the country will be disgraced at home by despfc- able scramble for iilegitimate war profits on steel and coal. on munitions and food.
 Every day we hear men regret that they are too old to enlist There ie TO man too old to make his sacrifice at the shop. the bank the farm the ballot box, sacrifice of greed and partisanship.
 There is a pernicious brood of to- ries, junkers and reactiouaries in every large city and in every state in this land. They belong to no one party. They bear the black flag of financial piracy and the yellow flag of economic treason. At every election from this time forth the liberals of all political parties should make common cause against the junker reactlonariea. A political realignment is demanded with patriots whose motto IS Service to Country ar-ra yed in a solid phaianx against those interruptions, disioyal sef-seekers."

QUICK ACTION ON THE
 AVIATION BILL DESIRED
But 1t Will be Blocked by La Toilette

Washington, July 17.-Plans of the leaders of both parties in congress for quick action on the administration's S aviation bill providing a great pro- gramme for striking at Germany through the air, promised tonight to be blocked by a small group of sena- tors, including La Toilette and Gron- ma. who are planning to reopen the question of conscription
 An agreement to meet at 10 o'clock tomorrow in order to take up the bill was made in the senate with the hope of a final vote before the food bill de- bate Is resumed under the rules at noon, the usual meeting hour. That hope virtually was abandoned later however, when the purposes of the measures critics became apparent. Senator Chamberlain, manager for the bill. said he did not believe it could be passed tomorrow, "or without con- siderable discussion later"

l out of consideration. or amendment of | the draft act so that aliens will not | be exempt. Both suggestions have many supporters in congress, and it | is not unlikely that one of them will i be given administration approval. Aliens May Be Included. Today Senator Chamberlain, chair man of the senate military committee, revealed that he had drafted a meas ure to make all aliens, wherever pos sible under existing treaties and ex- cepting enemy aliens, subject to draft. The senator said he had not discussed the question with administration off, cials, and probably would not intro- duce his bill until he had secured some opinion from the White House or the war department.
 Military EIigibIes Plan.
 Meantime, Representative Dent, the chairman of the house military com mittee. submitted to Secretary Baker a bill introduced by Representative Rogers, of Massachusetts. proposing to adopt the other alternative regarding aliens. It would provide that the draft quotas he apportioned according to the population of military eligi hles" instead of according to total population, thus, excluding aliens from the totals upon which apportionments are made. Mir. Dent said that if the secretary approved. his committee probably would report the bill favor ably.
 Complaints Were Expected.
 At the war department there has been no indication whether either of these proposals will have the backing of the administration. Apportionment officials let it be known today. how ever. that they fully expected com plaints of unfair treatment of cities and towns having comparatively small American populations, and large pro- portions of aliens not subject to draft, though registered. There seemed to be no way to meet this complaint un- der existing law. the officials said.
 Violation Of International Law.
 Aliens as a rule have been regarded as exempt from military service in countries where they reside, and no government has been more insistent than that of the United States upon the exemption from service in Euro pean armies of Americans in Europe. Many officials are known to hold the conviction that to require aliens in the United States to serve would be clearly a violation of international law, at least unless the state depart ment secured permission from the for eign governments concerned
 Officials feel the discussion in con- gress if 1t develops into action, may indefinitely postpone the raising lof the national army. The suggestion, therefore, has been made to some of the senators interested that the pres ent draft be allowed to proceed on the basis planned, and that the question of corrections be threshed ont between now and the time of the next draft.
