GIVES HIS LIFE
TO SAVE HIS MEN


PARIS. Feb. "A striking act oil
courage and self-sacrifice was recent
ly recorded by the biographer OF
Lieutenant-C Colonel Patrice Mahon.
Allowing himself to be killed rest
ing on his cannon in order to give an
example and to prevent a precipitate
retreat" reads the order Of the day
crediting him for his heroism. -Four
other officers initiated his example;
Captain Doridot. now a prisoner,
wounded and his right hand amputat-
ed and Lieutenants Roger, Michel and
Nyeegard, all three reported disap-
peared.
The pass OF Sainte- Marie aux
Mines was the scene Of the death oil
Mahon Twice before he had tried
to save the pass, first on asking to
go there personally when he should
have remained at Sanles with the gen.
eral staff. Then, while leading his
troops who, surprised by a frightful
attack. had retired in. disorder he
succeeded momentarily in bringing
them back in a counter attack. An
other time French infantrymen COM
posed principally of reservists were
confronted by hot enemy attack; they
were obliged to fall back in disorder
the round being impossible TO hold.
Mahon, however, did not lose his cool
ness. Dismounting from his horse
proudly, crossing his arms. he placed
himself before one Of his guns fac
ing the enemy. there waiting until he
was killed. He lies between French
and German lines and despite the con.
tlnual danger, number Of officers
have vainly tried to recover his body.

ENORMOUS OUTPUT
 OF CANNED PEAS
No Excuse for Extortionate Prices,
 Says Government.

Washington, Oct 11-With the enormous total of nearly 24O,00O cans of peas turned out this year, the Food announced today that
 there is no excuse for the extortion- ate prices being asked in some mar kets." It also was disclosed that can ners who are taking advantage of army purchases to deliver short to the trade in an unwarranted manner are being investigated.
 Jobbers and the larger retailers. it was announced, have agreed to handle canned beans on a reasonable margin over actual cost, and the efforts of the Food Administrators are being direct ed toward insuring a reasonable price to the consumer.
 Fears that this years crop of peas would be below the average of the last i've years proved groundIess, and re- turns to the Food Administration show that it actually was nearIly 50 per cent. larger than that of 1916.

GOVERNMENT WILL
 HELP RAILROADS
Policy Seems to be No Longer to Cor

Washington, Oct. 11.-A change in the relationship between the Federal government and the railroads of the United States is expected. Construc- tion cooperation on the part of the government with the carriers of the nation, with the great trunk systems leading from the interior to the At lantic seaboard will be the new ad- ministratfon policy.
 This fact is recognized now by the railroad managers who within five months have been coming into closer touch with the leaders of government activities.
 High officials of the government are convinced that the time has arrived for some procurement of the inten- tfon of the government to serve as the friend and coadjutor rather than the critic and correction officer for the transportation corporatiosl.
 Senator Newlands of Nevada, the chairman of the senate committee on Interstate Commerce, said, in a recent 
 We have passed that period in the relations of the government and tie railways when the activities of the government shall be directed to puni- tive and correctional action. The things which the government set out to do more than ten years ago in the way of regulating the railroads of the United States have been accomplished. The time is now at hand when the attitude of the government must and will become one of constructive cocj eration."

EXISTENCE OF A GENERAL
 COAL SHORTAGE ADMlTTE
Due to Increase in Manufacturing and
 Transportation.

Washington, Oct. 11.-Existence of a general coal shortage was admitted tonight by the geological survey which attributes the situation not to the failure of producers to do their best, but to the unprecedented demand.
 "The tremendous increase in manu- featuring and transportation activity this year." said a statement issued has created demand for soft coal in excess of any in the past an in" crease in demand that is difficult to measure in terms of terms. but that is certainly more than the ten per cent by which production has in creased. To meet this demand the operators have been mining coal at a rate never before equalled."
 A serious coal shortage exists in Ohio, fuel administration officials were told today by delegation of consum- CTS headed by Attorney General Joseph McGhee, who came to Washington to protest against lifting the embargo on coal shipments tQ Canada. Of the 200 towns in the slate reporting, more than 100, the delegation reported, are without coal and unable to obtain supplies because virtually all coal mined in the state is going through lake ports to the northwest and to Canada.
 Dr. Garfield tonight telegraphed all Ohio coal operators requesting them to furnish sufficient fuel to meet the emergency.
