United States Faces Coal
Deficit of 5O,OOO,O0O Tons
Consumption Advances Twice
as Fast as Production on
Account of War.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.-THE 1917
coal shortage is put at fifty million
tons in estimates completed today by
the fuel administration. Altho pro-
duction of bituminous and anthracite
together has jumped fifty million tons,
consumption, it is declared. has in
creased at least one hundred million
tons.
Immediate measures to meet the sit
uation planned by Fuel Administrator
Garfield include curtailment OF ship
ments to non essential industries, pri-
ority orders designed to increase the
car supply and campaign for coal
conservation in manufacturing estab-
lishments and households.
Wherever the unnecessary use of
coal in industry threatens to embarrass
war industry the fuel administration
Will see that the war needs are filled
All activities which are unnecessary to
the maintenance of the military or
economic efficiency will have to give
way by curtailment to the necessities
of war and this must be accomplished
without undue curtailment o. the do
mestic supply.
This policy Is expected to relieve
not only the demand for coal but a
part Of the enormous demands on the
transportation facilities of the coun-
try"
Doctor Garfield illustrated the in
creased demand for coal by pointing
to the requirement. of the Bethlehem
Steel company, which is consuming
this year three million tons more than
1t took in 1916. The demands of the
forces Of the army and navy
jumped this year from two million to
eight millio.. tons. The requirements
of public utilities companies have in
creased about 33 per cent. Most of
this increase was due to the increased
use of power by munitions plants.

Americans Secure Revenge;
Riddle Germans in Ambush
Large Band of Trench Raiders
Trapped; Carry Off Many
Killed and Wounded.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN FRANCE, Nov. 14.-American in
fantrymen eXacted a part revenge for
II trench raid during a recent night
attack by ambushing large German
patrol in Mans Land, killing or
wounding a number of the enemy.
The American patrol, in which there
were some Frenchmon, arranged the
ambuscade near the German lines on
a Shell-ru!ned farm.
.Aftor lying in the mud nearly all
night the patience of the watchers
was rewarded by the sight of a large
German patrol, its number more than
double that of the Franco o-Americans.
The Germans were permitted to
pass. when the Americans and
Frenchmen on their flank opened a.
hot fire from shell craters and other
shelters where they were secreted.
Tho Germans were taken com
pletely by surprise and bolted. carry
ing with them their men who had
been hit
The number OF dead and wounded
Germans is uncertain, but none OF the
men In ambush was hit by bullets
which the Germans later sent In from
q distance There were congratula-
tions all around when the Americans
ana French re-entered their trenches.
Patrol work on both sides Is be-
coming more active as Is also the ar
tillery fire. The Germans during one
hour period OF a recent
day sent over at least three times as
many shells as on the first days after
the Americans were entrenched. One
night the firing in the back areas
agGinst the approaches of the COM
trenches reached the pro-
portions of drum fire. Ii was evil
dent the Germans thot an American
trench relief was taking place. As n
matter OF fact no relief was in prog
ress and no material damage was
done.
