BRITISH A|R|NEN HAD HARDER TASK
 THAN THE FRENCH
Republican A.P. Leased W;re1

LONDON, Oct. 25.-In his weekly talk with the Associated Press today Major General Frederick B. Maurice chief director of military operations of the war office, said:
 It is no discredit to the British air. men that they did not bring down a single Zeppelin, while the French air men brought down five, in the course of the Zeppelin visit a few days ago. No French airman would think of compar- inS the task which they had of attack Ing the Zeppelins in broad daylight. when the airships were at the end of long flight and partially crippled, with that of the British airmen in find ing and attacking them in the night when all the invaders were still fresh-
 incidentally, it may be said the British air service since the beginning of the war has brought down 16 Zeppe- ilns under conditions far more difficult than those under which the French were so successful the other day"
 Discussing the work of the British airplanes on the western front he said: f'During September our bombing ma chimes made 226 raids. dropping on the Germans 7.SS6 bombs, representing 1855 tons of explosives. In the same period the Germans dropped almost exactly one thousand bombs on the British. Now. bombing is only a part of our a;I operations. By far the most important work of the airmen is the direction of the artillery.
 During September we engaged and brought down PA enemy planes, and this figure errs on,the side of conserva- tism for our headquarters never allows airmen credit for a victory unless the fall of an enemy is corroborated from either an observer on the ground or another airman in the vicinity.'S
 Commenting on the Freich victory along the Chemin des Danes. which he characterized as a very brilliant and very successful piece of work" General | Maurice said:

CHICAGO, Oct 25.-CoaI iobbers from all parts of the United States, members of the National Coal Jobbers' association. which is in session here, adopted resolutions at a dinner to- night pledging the support of the or saniZation and individual members to the war policies of the government
 The resolutions were telegraphed to President Wilson and Fuel Administra- tor Garfield. Subscriptions Of S149, 9,l00 were made to the Liberty loan
 E. N. Platt, president of the coal jcbbers; F. s. Peabody of Chicago; w. E. Coy.e of Bethlehem, Pa; J. S. Van Epps of Cleveland and Noah Shayne. Jr.. of Philadelphia were the speakers. Mr. Shayne said that criticism of the coal men was brought about by them selves.
 This is because you have neld back facts from the newspapers" he sad. You should give your knowledge and experience to your country on the dis- tribution of coal for you cannot in crease your production of the coal cannot be properly distributed"
 MT Peabody defended the national fuel administrator. He said the fact shat no coal men were on any of the federal committees having charge or fuel was evidence of the good faith of the government in making an equitable administration of the fuel situation.
 The war has knocked old condi- lions,' he said. and we must con form to the new conditions. It must ne country first until after the war, and when the war is over it will be time enough to think and act for self first"

week to relieve the serious shortage of the eastern states.
 If the eastern consumer had been compelled to await the coming of this years supply from western beet and Cuban cane fields there would have been. no relief for existing near-famine conditions until late in November. For the 2G0,0oG,000 pounds the refiners paid about $13,000,G00 or approximately six and one half cents pound. After ada Ing the cost of transportation and re- lining Il IS estimated that they will be able to sell to he wholesalers at stead fly reducing prices starting at S.S5 cents a pound and dropping to 725 by the end of the year The latter figure is the seaboard price previously fixed by agreement for Cuban, Hawaiian and western beet sugar and the price the food administration expects to main tain.
 With the refiners' price at S.35, the food administration announced tonight wholesalers in the northeast should sell at about S.60 with the price decreasing proportionately with reductions by the refiners. This, it Was said, should mean q price of nine cents to the consumer Gt once and of not more than eight cents by the end of the year.
 The big deal for Louisiana sugar was announced tonight at the food admin istration- after two adys' conference there among the producers, headed by John M. Parker, federal food admins tiator for Louisiana, Earl D. Baost, president Of the American Sugar Re fining company, and officials of the administration. In anticipation of the sale, the transportation division of the food administration has already ar ranged for sufficient shipping to trans port 100000, coo pounds of the sugar to the Philadelphia, Boston and New York refineries
