receipt of q Washington dispatch stat
ing that Robert 8. Lovett, chairman

visit to the Federal Trade Commits

estimates OF coal production costs and
recommendations for dealing with the
situation completed by the commits
sion after months of Investigation.
Definite action to reduce prices to the
consumer and to bring about better
distribution. It was learned, will be
taken.
Before going to the Trade Commis.
sion the President called on Herbert
Hoover. named to administer the food
act. in which are provisions for con-
troll of coal: Attorney General Greg
ory and Judge Robert 9. Lovett. Of
the War Industries Board, who, 1t is
understood will be given powers vest
ed in the executive in q recent law
governing priority of railroad ship
ments. s
The President is deeply concerned
over the coal situation. Even repre-
sentatives Of the operators admit that
parts Of the country face shortage
this winter, and from the public COM
plants are pouring In that prices are
out of all reason. The fact that sew
eral governors are threatening to
take over the industry in their states
is prompting early federal action.
Three courses are open to the Pres
ident. Under the food bill be may fix
prices at the mines and to consumers,
or he may direct some government
agency to requisition the output Of all
mines, selling It to the public. The
third course would contemplate vol
untary agreement by operators to sell
at fair price. with the government
directing distribution.

WAIT FOR GLACIER TO DISGORGE IT'S VICTIM
Gold Hunter Is Entombed
In Flowing Ice River

The fall did not seriously in
lure Fred Andrews. Peering over
the brink, his companions saw
him wedged, head down, In the
crevasse 80 feet below. They
called to him and he answered
that he was not hurt, but that
the intense chill was beginning
even then to numb his body.
Nothing to Be Done.
The others tried to reach him
by tying their pack ropes to-
gether, but the line was too short.
The nearest camp was on Crow
Creek, % miles away. Before 1t
could be reached and the return
made with a long rope Andrews
would be frozen.
There was nothing they could
do but stand by and watch their
leader die.
The fissure in which Andrews
lay closed up. The glacier moved
on. 1t is moving stillso many
inches per day, SO many yards per
year.
And the prospectors who are
waiting come every few days to
scan the blue, shadowy face of
Andrews tomb.

LONDON. April 21.-Winston
Churchill, former first lord of the
admiralty, now himself in khaki,
wants an American expeditionary
force sent to France as soon as
possible-simply for the effect the
presence of Americans would have
on the allied forces.
1T was always represented to
us that the timely arrival of even
small force of British troops in
France would stimulate and cheer
the heart of every French soldier"
he said.
"As it turned out, our small
army achieved very great material
results in addition to its moral
effect. Perhaps it played a deci-
sive part in the supreme events
of the opening phase of the war.
But now, when the terrible
weight and burden of this strug-
gle has pressed for nearly three
years upon the French, British and
Belgian troops, the arrival of the
American flag and the American
uniform upon the actual line OF
battle would be the signal of APP
preaching deliverance and of vic.
tory and would kindle joy and en-
thusiasm in every heart"

SEWARD, Alaska, April IL
Prospectors to the north of here

They are waiting for Twenty
Mile glacier to disgorge one Of
its victims.
Several years ago Fred An
drews, a miner, plunged to his
doom In a deep crevasse while
leading prospecting party to the
head of Twenty Mile river.
He died slowly, helplessly,
wedged tight In the icy chasm,
while his frenzied companions
tried vainly to reach him.
Wedged Head Down.
And now his body, believe those
who are familiar with the slow
movement of the frozen river, Is
due to appear in the blue face ice
of this strange vault.
Every big glacier in Alaska
holds the bodies of many men.
Occasionally they are surrendered
again to the light of day, remark
ably well preserved.
Those who watch for Andrews
expect to see him as he was the
day he died.

A Dream
EDITOR THE TIMES:
One night as l slum bered
| had a strange dream.

EDITOR THE TIMES:
One night as l slumbered
| had a strange dream,
Alone in the open | stood:
looked and there among clouds
of smoke
Our beautiful Banner stood.
The Stars and Stripes were sway
ing and swinging,
The troopers were marching along.
| cried, Oh God! this is war, and
we
Americans are in the throng.
The scene then changed, a land
scape, | saw,
Unfolded in smoke and gray mist;
With neither a house or a tree or a
flower,
But all with horror impressed.
And then ] saw a boy of six,
Alone in this wilderness stand;
He looked so forlorn and his face
was hid
With his dear little trembling
hands.
And I gazed in anguish at this.
Then all of a sudden a flag Of
white,
This terrible scene displaced;
1t cleaned and sparkled as it
swayed and swung,
And the air seems filled with joy
and song.
The ground was covered with
beautiful snow
The softest pillows / ever saw:
1t is winter now, and the struggle
is past,
And peace serene is reigning at
last.
Filled with joy I wandered along,
My heart OVERLOOKING with thanks
and song.
When all at once around my foot
Tombstones arose, and cried,
My God!
Yes we have peace, our enemies
lost,
But fathers and brothers blood 1t
cost.
Still under this blanket so soft
and white
They slumber so sweetly, and
honor bright,
Lovingly cling around their brow,
under the snow.

it's program of building one thou

to the opinions of local lumber
men and shipbuilders here today.
Bankers, sawmill men and ship
builders met late yesterday and
discussed the governments ship
plans and Oregon's share in the
construction of the vessels.
With sufficient lumber, sites
and machinery for the construc-
ton of a great number of ships,
the only features that worry those
interested in ship building is the
lack of men and possible delay in
securing some supplies.

forgotten for the time being that

THE great crime is that 1907
600 of these little lives need not
have been lost: they died because
someone did not know until too
late, and the greatest per cent died
from starvation, because OF the
lack of proper food!
