GARFIELD DIRECTS
ALL COAL EXPORTS
Failure of Northwest to Get
Ample Fuel Results in
Drastic Step.
Specini Despatch 10 THE suS.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 14.-Supervision
over coal exports hereafter will be ex-
ercised by DR.. Harry A. Garfield. the
coal administrator. it was announced to-
day. This action is the result of an in
vestigation into the failure OF the North
western States TO receive their proper
supply of fuel. An order forcing the
railroads to give priority to the move
ment Of coal to the Great Lakes, which
was issued some time ago by Judge Rob-
ert s. Lovett, was found not to remedy
the situation. A larger quantity of coal
did reach the lakes. but 1t was not de-
livered to Minnesota and Wisconsin
ports.
Investigation showed that between
August "a and September out of a
total Of !. .755.Sl2 tons cleared from Lake
Erie harbors 53O,973 tons. or more than
30 per cent. had been shipped into Can
ada This is far in excess of the pro-
portion Of Canadian exports by the lake
route in normal times, and II Is expected
that shipments to CANADIAN points will
be curtailed greatly until the situation
in the Northwest is relieved.
Under the arrangement perfected to-
| United States without specific license,
and such license will require approval
by the fuel administrator This method
| OF regulation Is expected to keep DR..
| Garfield In close touch with both the
quantity and the destination Of coal ex-
ports. There Is no intention of cutting
| off Canadian or other exports. but under
this method of supervision the fuel ad-
ministration will be able to equalize the
distribution Of coal and see that fair
share IL retained for this country.
| Appointment Of Rembrandt Peale
president Of Peale, Peacock 4 Kerr Of
New York, and John p. White, president
of the United Mine Workers Of America
as advisers Of DR.. Garfield was approved
to-day by President Wilson. Mr.. Peale
| has resigned his official connection with
several large coal companies and will
devote his entire time to the service oi
the Federal Government.

LONDON. Sept. Histories Of some re-
cent successes OF the British navy
against German submarines were given
to the public tonight In a series OF brief
descriptions Of eight encounters, in
which eight and possibly nine U-boats
were accounted for. These eight sea
battle pictures were selected SO as to
cover practically the whole ground Of
anti-submarine activities.
In one case there was a battle be-
tween an auxiliary cruiser and a SUBJ
marine. in another an engagement be-
tween seaplane and a submarine. then
a battle between two submarines in
which the British submarine captain
proved himself the better man, and
finally two tales of successes Of armed
merchantmen against the enemy. The
descriptions Of these encounters are as
follows:
First-"From one of our auxiliary
naval forces a torpedo was seen ap-
preaching on the starboard beam. It
jumped out of the water when u hun
dred yards off and struck the engine

rent and flooding several compartments.

Deficiency to BE Met.

Calling attention to the fact that the
estimated revenue returns from all
sources will fall short of the contem-
plated expenditures for the current fiscal
year, Mr.. Fitzgerald said:
ut Is well for the House to bear
In mind that there must be provided
during the current fiscal year. either
through additional tax or through some
form Of revenue based upon our pres
ent needs, without anticipating in any
way the necessities that the future may
occasion before the end OF the fiscal
YEAR, approximately $4,000, 100000.
'"That information was what prompted
me to state only a short time ago tina
before the end OF the current fiscal year
we would be compelled to take at least
40 per cent OF the excess profits and
probably so per cent. of all incomes
above a very ordinary amount.
THE United States is proposing Ia
expend approximately the first year as
much as Great Britain has expended In
three years and about SIS per cent Of the
total expenditures Of Germany and Aus
tria Hungary In three years.
"I have presented these figures to the
House at this time in order II possible
| TO awaken the members to the tremen-

people and create a sentiment that will
make IL impossible to put further
burden on the public treasury for any
purpose whatever that is not absolutely
essential"
