Washington, October 17.-whatever powers necessary will be employed by the federal government to stop the strikes of coal miners in the middle west and prevent interruption of the nations fuel production.
 This warning was given today by Fuel Administration Garfield in a sharp telegram to miners and operators in the fields involved, reminding them of their pledge not to allow the output of coal to be diminished and declaring thnt any attempt to bring pressure to bear upon him to force revision of coal prices would result in postpone ment of . decision on that question. z Dr2 Garfield was in conference dur ing the day with John r.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
 SUMMARY OF NEWS

New York. October 17.-From all cables received from the various fronts the Associated Press makes the fol- lowing summary of the news:
 The Germans are entirely in pos- session of the Island of Oesel, at the head of the Gulf of Riga. and ths Russian forces still there are cut off from communication with Petrograd. Small naval engagements continue in adjacent waters and German aircraft are carrying out reconnaissances over the islands in the Gulf of Riga and over the mainland to the east. Per- nau. an important gulf port north of Riga and due east of Oesel island, has been bombed by German naval air ships.
 HOO RUSSIANS TAKEN
 The Berlin war office announces that large quantities of booty were captured on Oesel and that more than HOO prisoners were taken by the Ger mans Wednesday,
 On the mainland to tho south of Riga there has been considerable ac< tivity on the part of the Germans, who at one point endeavored to throw POLtOOu pIluScS over lHS 0VlHa IIVcT. The Russian artillery, however. pre- vented the bridging of the stream.
 A report which. if true, probably in- dicates that the Germans are prepar- ing for a big naval demonstration against the Russians from tho Baltic comes from Malmo, in southern Swo- den. It says q large number of Ger man war craft were observed Monday and Tuesday and that the belief pre- vailS that they were refnfOrcementa for the German Baltic fleet.
 FRENCH REPORT
 The expected renewal of the great offensive by the British ana French troops in Belgium has not eventuatcd. Heavy bombaydments and reconnoiter- ing encounters still prevail.
 There have been only bombardments
