PRICE Of COAL
FIXED BY WILSON
will Affect Public as Well as the
Government.
TABLE SUBJECT To CHANGE
Range From So To s3.25 For Run OF
Mine and From s2.15 To $3.50 For
Prepared Sizes To $1.75 To SO
For Slack Or Screenings.

Washington.-President Wilson an
nounced provisional prices for BIZ
luminous coal at the mine.
While it is said that the prices are
mot only fair and just, but liberal as
WELL" it was declared by men in close
touch with the coal situation that the
figures would prove severe blow to
the producers.
The prices are fixed by States, and
range from So to 1925 for run of mine,
and S2.15 to $3.50 for prepared sizes
to s1.75 to So for slack or screenings.
These prices will affect the public
as well as the government, although
machinery through which costs piling
up through middlemen may be cut
down, has not yet been selected This
will be the next step taken by the
executive.
Provisional Only.
The official announcement from the
White House follows:
"The following scales of prices is
prescribed for bitumnous coal at the
mine in the several coal-producing dis
tricts. 1t is provisional only. 1t is
subject to reconsideration when the
whole method of administering the
fuel supplies of the country shall have
been satisfactorily organized and put
into operation. Subsequent measures
will have as their object fair and
equitable control of the distribution of
the supplies and of the prices not only
at the mines, but also in the hands of
the middle men and the retailers.
The prices Professionally fixed here
are fixed by my authority under the
provisions of the recent act of Con
gress regarding administration of the
food supply of the country which also
conferred upon the executive control
of the fuel supply. They are based
upon the actual cost of production and
are deemed to be not only fair and
Just, but liberal as well. Under them
the industry should nowhere lack
stimulation.

Colonel Tells War Mission His Views
On Peace Terms.

New York.--Members of the Belgian
war mission were entertained by Col.
Theodore Roosevelt at his home at
Oyster Bay. In a short address to the
visitors the Colonel declared the great
est menace to civilization at this time
was talk of an inconclusive peace"
I'VE must have a peace that is just,
and no peace will be just which does
not give to Belgium a heavy in
demnity," Colonel Roosevelt said mo
peace will be just that does not estab-
lish great Bohemia and a great Slav
commonwealth in Austria, and which
does not join the Roumanian and
ltalian-Austrians to their Roumanian
and Italian brothers. Such peace
must force the Turk from CONSTANT
nople and free the Armenians."

SECOND DRAFT
LONG WAY OFF
No Facilities For Training Sec
Ond Army Until Spring.
ALL CAMPS WILL BE FILLED
Provost Marshal General crowder
Says That Question Has Not
Even Been Given Con-
sideration.

Washington.-A full statistical re.
port on the operations of the draft law
will be prepared by the Provost Mar.
shal Generals Office as soon as the
mobilization of the first increment OF
GS7OOO men of the National Army has
been completed some time early in Oc.
tobcr.
Pending the preparation of tho re.
port and careful analysis of the con.
ditioRs it discloses, no steps toward
calling a second increment to the col.
ors will be taken.
General Crowder said that the call
for the second increment never had
been considered at any conference at
which he was present and that he had
no indication that II had been taken up
in any way by President Wilson or
Secretary Baker.
Next Call In Spring.
The first increment will fill all the
training areas-16 National Guard
camps and 10 National Army canton
ments-to capacity, and there will be
a surplus of men beside those assigned
to the regular army. The regulars are
now 1900 above full authorized war
strength by voluntary enlistment and
the National Guard is in a similar
situation.
Training facilities already are taxed
to make ready for the front men now
available and It is regarded as very
unlikely that organization of an addi-
tonal 100000 men of the National
Army can be begun until the early
spring of 1918. Neither quarters nor
personnel TO train the force will be
available before that time.
May Amend Regulations.
Iniquities of an unavoidable nature
will be shown in the statistical report
There probably will be some amended
regulations based on actual experience
with the first increment, and some
amendments in the law may be
thought desirable by Congress.
II is possible that some provision
will be made whereby all the sons of
one family will not be taken. A new
definition of the status of married men
may be one of the things acted upon
President Wilson's recent letter TO
Senator Weeks is taken by many to
indicate a feeling that more liberal
policy may be found desirable. AT
present, under regulations, condition
of actual dependency must be estab-
lished to obtain exemption, The con-
dition of marriage in itself is not con-
sidered.
Another matter to be worked out is
the status of aliens.
Still another is the status of men
who have passed beyond draft age
since being drafted and that of those
who have become of draft age in the
meantime.
