requirements from the United States VIII approach 100000 tons monthly. The country starts the winter, according to Italian officials, fully 100000 tons short of coal
 The shipping the United States Is able to release will be totally inadequate to meet the demand for coal and to carry food and munitions. It is likely. it was said today however, that the Italians will make q trade with Spain for a large amount of Spanish tonnage to supple- ment the American ships. At the same time the Italians will put into trans- atlantic service as many of their own ships as possible.
 Italy's food situation, 1t was said today, is not as bad as 1t has been pictured. The bread ration is larger now than in either France or England. If, however, the Italians wish to transport food in preference to coal and munitions they will be given export licenses to ship as much as they wish.

SMASH GERMAN SPY SYSTEM.
Many Arrests Scheduled to Follow

San Francisco, May 14.--Vigorous

furnished by Rudolph Flamingding-

the Pacific coast Flnmingdinghe,

to have given the government agents
information which it ts believed will
result in the immediate arrest OF yir-

operative in the United States. Ac-
cording to Federal authorities. the
I'm '"d States has been divided into
ten ,stricts with chief and subor-

All the important members OF the

While the militia bureau gives the
Chief Executive his discretion in or

the plan proposed by the President"

Then Hollander Speaks.
RUSSIAN SITUATION IS GRAVE.
Partisans Of Old Regime Creating
Disturbances in Democracy.

Washington, May 14.-News of
the, overthrow Of two dominating
military figures in tho Russian capt.
tai added greatly to-day to the appre-
hension felt here for the democratic
movement to which the encourage
ment and moral support Of this gov
ernment soon Is to be carried by. q
mission Of distinguished Americans.
Official reports added nothing to
theSbrief press dispatches indicating
that both the minister Of war, Gen.
Guchkoff, and the commander Of the
Petrograd garrison. Gen. Korniloff,
had been forced out Of office by fric-
ton among high officials of the pro-
visional government. The impress
sion grew, however, that the plight
Of the new democracy. beset by am
bilious partisans Of the old regime
and by the intrigue Of German
agents, might be much more serious
than surface conditions have re-
vealed.
Although the American mission,
which received its final instructions
from President Wilson to-day, will
take pains not to interfere unduly in
Russia's internal affairs. officials
have made no secret of this hone
that one of the results Of the visit
VIII be to strengthen the position Of
the new democratic government.
Coupled with this is the expectation
that the moral influence Of the mis-
sion will go far to Offset machina-
tions for separate peace between
Germany and Russia.
The members Of the mission, which
includes Elihu Root, with the rank of
special ambassador, and Major Gen.
Scott, the chief Of staff, spent more
than an hour with the President at

leg and other injuries, received yes
terday when he was attacked by
Jersey bull in pasture near his
home. Physicians say he is resting
fairly we'll, although both bones in
the lower left leg are broken and his
left arm painfully bruised. 1t is stat
ed that Mr.. Moore was successful in
warding Off with pitchfork the first
attack Of the bull, but after retreat
ing a short distance, the animal re-
turned and, with more ferocious at
tack, hooked his leg with such force
that both bones were broken. After
some further effort to do injury to
the man, who was then lying on tho
ground, the bull went away and Mr..
Moore crawled several yards to a
wire fence for fear Of a third attack.

Hotel Fire at Lake CITY.

Lake City. s. c., May 12.-At an
early hour this morning the Halcyon
Hotel was found on fire by the occu-
pants, who were awakened by the
smoke. The fire had gained such
headway that 1t was not possible to
save the building and very little of
the furniture was saved, some OF the
guests escaping with very little cloth
ing. A portion Of this hotel was de-
stroyed by fire about IS months ago,
since which time the owner had re-
modelled the building and was again
enjoying q good patronage. The loss
Is probably $4,000 with about $5,-
500 insurance. The origin Of the
fire is unknown.
