found that the President had left the
White House Just prior 70 his arrival.
The Presidents coal price announce
ment issued tonight does not make it
clear whether or not the prices fixed
shall apply solely to government pur-
chases. However, in view of the Pres
idential statement of policy, on July
70, that the same prices should apply
to government purchases. those of the
Allies and those of the American con-
suming public, it is believed that the
prices fixed to-day will be general in

Federal Trade Commission and officials
of the Council of Defence have stated
that the anthracite market was so
nearly normal that there was little
need of government regulation at this
time.
Big Cut in Navy Coal
The Presidents order amounts TO
cutting the price Of coal in half, ac-
cording to estimates at the Navy De-
partment. The navy has been getting
Virginia coal at a $2.335 rate by special
tentative arrangement, which amounts
virtually TO paying this amount on ac-
count. The coal producers will now
have to refund approximately 131z
cents a ton to the government. as the
50 a short toon is calculated at s2.20
long ton.
For commercial houses and steam
ships the price has for the last SIX
months been $3.50 at the pier. Count
ing S2.2O a long ton and adding sl.45
freight the charge for steamships and
commercial houses at the pier now will
be $685..
Secretary Daniels, when informed Of
the Presidents ord-r, said:
"The navy will, of course, get back
any excess we paid in the s2.335 sd-
vance. as il was agreed that this was
merely a tentative figure. When fixed

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2l.-Presiden'
Wilson announced tonight the scale oi
prices fixed by the government for bi'

eral producing districts of the country
The prices named By the President
are materially lower than those nego'

Of Defence, which were declared un'
acceptable by both Secretaries Baker
and Daniels.
The Presidents statement reads:
"The following scale of prices is

"The prices Professionally fixed
here are fixed by my authority under

which also conferred upon the EN-
ecuEive control of the fuel supply.

liberal as well. Under them the

(Signed) .
The prices fixed by the President
were far below any suggested in ef'
forts TO secure a voluntary agreement
among operators.
In the principal coal fields Of the
country he decreed price Of 81 ton
or less for run of mine coal. The high
est price in the schedule was $3.50
ton for prepared sizes of coal in the
Washington coal fields. The lowest was
for the product Of the "Big Seam" dis
trict Of Alabama, where the price was
fixed at sl.9O ? ton for run Of mine
coal, s1.25 for prepared sizes and sl.6S
for slack or screenings.

u. S. to Await
Germans Reply
To Pope's Plea
By G. w. Gilbert

WASHINGTON, Aug. @i.-Tnere were
no indications of an approaching an
swer to the Pope's note to-day. The
President was believed to be busying
himself with war preparations, espe-
cially with the difficulties of the Goa
situation.
1t is now regarded as likely that thi:
country and the Allies are waiting fol
Germany to answer before replying tc
the Pope.
There would be an obvious advantage
in his course. And the conference upon
the Pope's note, which Lord Robert
Cecil said would be held, would afford
an opportunity for delay until the Cen.
tral Powers had been heard from.
II such a conference is held, it will
take several days for delegates to get
together.

BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE AND
BELGIUM, Aug. 2i.-Thc fierce battle
which began az dawn to-day on the out
skirts of the city Of Lens continued
throughout the day at close quarters
and late this afternoon there was no
diminution in the intensity OF the
struggle between the attacking Cana
dians and the Germans.
The Canadians this morning fought
their way forward with bombs and
bayonet. and occupied important enc
nv defences northwest and southwest
OF the heart OF the city, and since then
the Germans have been sending in
wave after wave of infantry in des-
rerate counter attacks.
The Canadians have held strongly
and the Germans have suffered very
heavy casualties, as they must have e%-
pected from the nature of their coun-
ter thrust, in which no thought is given
10 the cost in life.

until the Canadians were upon them

Brief but bitter fighting occurred in
No Mans Land. The German officers
tried 20 rally their men against the Ca
nadians, but the enemy infantry grad
uallv fell back TO the trenches which
they had just left. The Canadians fol
lowed. and, leaping on the parspets
hurled masses of bombs down among
great numbers of troops which had
been collected for the attack. The Ger
mans tried to flee through the com
munication trenches, but the Canadians
Jumped among them with bayonets and
bombs. killing many.
On the southwest the Canadians were
equally successful after very heavy
fighting. in which the British artillery
was brought into play.
A "Seething Cauldron"
The most strenuous fighting late IN
the day was proceeding in the centre
Of the line west of Lens and on little
front near the left OF the northwest
positions, but the whole line was
seething cauldron.
The Canadians have achieved their
immediate object by drawing thelI
lines still closer about the heart OF the
city and their goal, unless the Ger
man counter attacks succeed. By. to,
davis attack the Canadians have gained
possession of many railway embark
ments and coll:ery sidings which az
ford excellent positions for. either OF
fensive or defensive operations. ~,

opposiag forces are now fighting, is

The striking feature of the battle lies
:, the fact that the Germans also had
ossed troons for a counter attack at
dawn against the newly acquired Ca

virons Of Lens, and had actually start

Drised by encountering the onrushing
