dustry appeared imminent when Pres
ident Wilson turned his personal at
tention to the subject and heard the
mine operators and miners presenta-
ton of the situation. The interests
now will be presented by the federal
trade commission, which has just COM
pleted it's investigation Of coal produc-
ton costs.
Provisions of the food control bill
giving the president power to fix coal
prices from the mine to the consumer
and investing in him authority to
requisition all coal produced and sell
it to the public are expected to be
put into operation almost immedi-
ately.
The coal situation, according to Off
Gals who have studied the subject, is
in a more chaotic state now than it
has been at any time. Prices are 60
ing up despite the agreement between
the government and the operators, and
many sections of the country face
winter with a coal famine.
1t is considered likely that the pres
ident will commander all the coal in
the country, which is a bitter pill for
some of the local concerns and the
big operators.

William recently narrowly escaped be-
ing killed by bomb thrown from an
allied airship.

Secretary Daniels told Robert M
Thompson, president of the Navy
League, who charged that the labor
interests were hampering investiga-
ton of the fatal black powder maya
zine explosion at Mare Island, that the
statement was slanderous and false,
and that the best way Mr.. Thompson
and the other officials of his organiza-
ton could serve his country would be
to "get down and out" at once. This
is the organization from which Colo
mel Roosevelt resigned not long since,
claiming that it was hampering the
government.
The Navy League, which is in a
controversy with the secretary of the
navy, is a civilian organization formed
some twelve years ago to work for a
bigger and better navy, and among it's
members are many retired naval Off
GERS. Mr.. Thompson, president for a
number of years, is a f1nancier of
prominence who graduated at Annap-
oils and attained the rank of master
in the navy before resigning in 1874.

public to see in a general way the
class OF work which has been done.
The state-aid law provides that the
various counties shall maintain the
roads which have been and are being
improved under state aid. To GATE
only few counties are paying any at
tention to this phase OF the work,
which is beyond doubt one of the most
important features. Where no atten-
ton is paid to maintenance, the roads
will have to be resurfaced at the end
Of three or four years, which will In
volve a considerable expenditure of
money. It. is suggested that a county
can make no better investment than
to inaugurate the patrol system. A
few loads OF stone and screening can
be dumped along the road at intervals
of about an eighth of mile and one
man designated to handle FIVE or six
miles of road. He should be equipped

Quite a few disputes have arisen

the fiscal courts and citizens of the

selection of these various routes and
see that the best routes are selected,

The presidential election and the
campaign which preceded it occupied
a large part of the attention of the
people of the United States through
out the year 1916. June 5, the Wom-
ans party was originated and opened
its first convention in Chicago. Two
days later both the Republican and
Progressive national conventions open
ed in Chicago. June 10, former Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt was nomi-
mated for president by the Progressives
and Charles Evans Hughes, associate
Justice of the United States Supreme
court and former governor of New
York, was nominated by the Republi-
cans. The Republicans nominated
Charles w. Fairbanks of Indiana for
vice president and the Progressives
named John NJ. Parker of Louisiana as
Roosevet's running mate. June 10.

sent Identical notes TO the entente al
lies through the United States, Spain
and Switzerland, proposing that the
belligerents arrange a conference for
the discussion of peace terms. The
notes were transmitted to the allied
governments by President Wilson with
out comment. The peace proposals
were received coldly. Premier BRAND,
in the French house of deputies, is
sued a warning against a premature
peace, and the Russian duma, accord
ing to announcement made December
10, passed a resolution favoring a re-
fusal on the part of the allied govern
ments to enter into any peace nego-
tiations whatever under present con-
ditions.
AS If In answer to the peace pro-
posals, the French in the Verdun sec
tor delivered crushing attack on the
German forces December Is, winning
II square miles of territory north of
Verdun and driving the Germans back
close to the line from which they start
ed their great offensive against Yer
dun in February. General Nivelle,
who directed this attack, had been a
few days before placed in supreme
command of the French armies in the
west, succeeding General Joffre, who
was made commander in chief of the
French armies, but with little more
than advisory powers.
