COAL OPERATORS TO CONFER WITH PRICE
 FIXING COMMITTEE
Producers From Many Parts of the Country Are in Washington to Discuss the Merits and Rules of Trade Commission
(By Review Leased Wire.)


 WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Coal op- orators from many parts of the coun- try came to Washington today to take up with government officials the prices just fixed for their product Cost figures prepared by the operators will be presented to the federal trade commission on whose cost of produc- ton statistics President Wilson based his price of coal Coal administration officials admit that the prices set will drive many operators out of business, but say that while individuals will suffer the public generally will bene- fit. Both bunker and export coal, it was said today, are to be included in the new scale of prices. Bona fide contracts for this coal, however, as for domestic, will not be disturbed. Frank s. Peabody, chairman of the coal committee of the national council of defense, declared today that oper- ators generally felt the government prices were fair and that any inequali- ties would be corrected. The services of the coal committee, he said, would be put at the disposal of Mir. Garfield.
 The labor situation continues to give officials some concern. Miners throughout the country are asking wage increases which in most instan- ces, it is said, will be refused now that the price of coal has been re- duced The government, some off cials believe, may have to intercede even to the extent of working out with all interests concerned, a general wage scale.

Exemption For Ball
Players? Nay, Nay

To the credit of American profess
sional baseball be it said that the
Hon. Ban Johnson's idea that base
ball players should be exempt from
military service by no means meets
with unanimous approval in the fra
ternity itself. President Tener, of
the National League, opposes it as
holly as Johnson favors it, and sew
eral other magnates declare it unpa-
triotic and pernicious.
OF course, the suggestion is alb
surd. Ball players ought to make
particularly good soldiers. There
was a story from abroad the other
day that American soldiers make
better bomb-throwers than those of
any other nation and that this is due
to their familiarity with baseball 1t
sounds plausible At any rate, ball
players ought to be a healthy lot of
men, good at sprinting Tin the direc-
ton of the enemy, we hope) and ca
pable of withstanding the rigors of
warfare. Instead of asking exemp-
ton it might be a good stroke for
them to enlist as a body.
Baseball would not be ruined even
if they did that. 1t will not be in
jured by the loss of the few men that
will be called upon to serve under
the selective draft. If one club
should lose more heavily than the
others, the managers of the leagues
can find some way to compensate it
that is the thing for them to put
their minds to, and not talk about
asking exemptions. The increased
interest in amateur ball is proof that
baseball is not going to die even if
all the professional teams should be
wiped out. The Honorable Ban, in
truth has been talking nonsense.

Why Owen Johnson
Wrote "Vntuous Wives

owen Johnson is an American. but
has lived much of his life abroad. He
was al NeIdun In August, 1916 when
The Allied armies checked the Ger
nan drive. and ne is Intimately ac-
Quainted with the heads of the Al
lied armies. He is the author of 4
book aDodt the war. W hich he wrote
on the other side.
It seems strange for a writer to
leave the United States at this time
and go abroad in order to be free
from distraction. but this is precise
, ly what owen Johnson dld so he
light WORN uninterruptedly on Wiz
tuous Wives"
He leased an old chateau in the
Department of Haute-SavOie, France,
Tar from the battle front. There, IN
the ancient tower, he wrote the
greater part of This new novel, which
is creating countrywide comment.
Mr.. johnson is now in the United
States engaged in writing another
novel for Cosmopolitan, which will
be published on the completion OF
"Nirtuous. Wives. He is. in fact.
writing three novels for Cosmopoli-
tan Of which "Virtuous Wives is
the first These novels will form Il
trilogy-the subject of which will be
the sinister forces underlying Ameri-
can social life and which are deStruc-
tive to the institution of the home.
This famous author has had eXcep-
tionai opportunities to compare the
American girl with the French girl
and to observe the difference in their
training.
In a recent interview Mr.. John
son said: THE French girl is brou-
ght up to regard marriage as the en-
trance into a new life, involving the
duties of a wife and mother. The
American girl, on the other hand, is
not prepared to make the sacrifices
demanded by her duty to her hus-
band and her children. She is tau
ght to believe that. while marriage
is desirable, necessary, in fact, she
need bring to her new home no more
than a sort of superficial companion
ship, devoid of the instinct for mo-
therhood which is the very founda-
ton of the home"
Mr. johnson is delivering a sincere
and important message. He gives it
to us through the medium of the
novel because that is the form OF
expression which most naturally APP
peals to him. If he were a great
painter he would paint a picture in
which these ideas predominated, but,
having been given the power to
WELD a ready pen, he is turning his
genius toward writing a trilogy of
novels that will make his name en-
dure lon gin the annals of American
literature.
Cosmopolitan is fortunate in hav
ing secured the exclusive services of
Owen Johnson for the next four
years.
