SEE LOWER COAL
FOR WISCONSIN
FIXING OF PRICES BY FEDERAL.
GOVERNMENT WILL CHEAP
EN- FUEL IN STATE.
TO LIMIT AMOUNT OF PROFIT
Public Affairs Board Investigating
Overhead and HauIage Expense.
Transportation from Mines to
Milwaukee $3.50 Per Ton. q

Madison - The fixing of anthracite
coal prices at the mines by the fed
eral government promises some relief
to the people of Wisconsin IN coal
prices, according to information of the
Wisconsin Council of Defense. The
price to consumers will be little low
er. The limitation of the government
would indicate that prices will not be
higher as was feared by many.
The government figures at the
mines, long tons, are: Egg coal, $4.45;
stove COAL $40; pea coal, 81, where
mines are owned by the railroads
which haul direct to big consumers.
To Wisconsin users of coal the fol-
lowing figures can be added per ton,
according to data compiled by the
council of defense: From the mines to
Buffalo, SITS; docking at Buffalo, rs
cents; boat to Milwaukee, so cents;
overhead in handling about, $1.50;
profit, so cents, or total OF $4,6O.
This would allow stove coal to sell IN
Milwaukee at $3.50.
The sale price may be even lower
than $3.50, for these figures are based
on the long ton of 2,240 pounds. The
short ton is 1000 pounds. If this one
tenth is deducted coal might sell in
Milwaukee at $40 per ton.
The state board of public affairs is
now conducting an investigation OF the
cost of handling coal in Wisconsin.
Secretary A. H. Melville, OF the WIS.
consin Council of Defense, says That
in no case should overhead rates ex-
coed $3.50 per ton. The preliminary
investigation made by the board OF
public affairs showed an overhead OF
from $110 to $3.50. The question OF
what is a reasonable profit on coal has
not vet been determined. In some OF
the Investigations made by the federal
and state government this proht was
found to be as high as 81 ton ana
above. Men connected with the Coun-
Gil of Defense, however, think that 5O
cents ton or below would be rea-
sonable profit. One coal dealer In
Madison handles 100000 tons of coal a,
wear. This would give him proht or
$4,000 above his overhead expenses.
Some time ago Gov. Philip indl-
Gated that after the federal govern
naent had fixed the price at the mines,
the state would fix the price at which
coal would be sold in Wisconsin. Ii
a limitation is placed upon the amount
of profits that can be made by local
dealer, coal prices will be much lower.
If the coal is to be transferred into
the state, freight rates must be addeo
to the figures above. From the lake
ports to Madison, for example, the
freight is $1.25 a ton.

u. S. To CONTROL
NATIONS EXPORTS
Wilson's Universal Embargo Pro-
tects Country's Needs.
LICENSE FOR ALL GOODS
Board Headed by Vance Mccormick TO
Have Entire Charge of Issuing Per-
mits to Ship Commodities
From American Ports.

Washington, Aug. %. = President
Wilson on Monday night issued proc
lamation giving the government con-
troll over all commodities exported
from the United States.
1t is the most drastic step for econ
omy control taken by any nation dur
ing the war. The president said he
aims at control, not at actual stop
ping of exports.
All articles of commerce must be
licensed for export to enemy coun-
tries and European neutrals. This
will give the United States for the
first time control over certain NUM-
tons and money sent to the neutrals.
The list of commodities for which
license is required is widely extend
ed.
Protects U. s. Needs.
"This," says the president, lis for
the protection of our own needs"
The proclamation was accompanied
by an explanation in which the presi-
dent detailed the difference between
the divisions established in naming
the commodities coming under the
ruling.
1.-THE purpose of this proclamation
is not export prohibition, but merely
export CONTROL" the president said.
at is not the intention to interfere
unnecessarily with our foreign trade,
but our own domestic needs must be
safeguarded and the necessities of all
the nations at war with Germany
must be protected. After these needs
are met, it is our wish and intention
to administer to the needs of the neu-
trail nations. This task will be dis
charged without other than the prop
er qualification that the liberation Of
our surplus products shall not be
made the occasion of benefit to the
enemy, either directly or indirectly.
mo licenses will be necessary for
the importation of coin, bullion, cur
rency and evidences of Indebtedness
until required by regulations to be
promulgated by the secretary of the
treasury at his discretion"
The administration of the proclama-
ton, except as it refers to coin, bull
lion and currency, is placed in the
hands of the exports administrative
board.
This board few days ago had no
authority to act. Its members, headed
by Vance Mccormick, chairman, ad-
vocated strict rationing system with
regard to allies and neutrals alike.

Buenos Aires, Aug. 29.-Germany' S

AUTHORITIES SEIZE LIQUOR
Automobiles Destined for Camp DOUG
las Searched and Quantity OF
Strong Drinks Found.

Camp Douglas - Suspectlng that
attempts were being made to smuggle
liquor into Camp Douglas, authorities
sent out mounted policemen to patrol
the roads between this place and the
city of Mansion. Automobiles carry
ing soldiers were stopped and search
ed and a considerable supply OF
strong drinks hidden away in suitcases
and packages was confscated and de-
stroyed In many instances the au-
tomobiles stopped on the road between
here and Mansion were driven oy
civilians. Some were rented ma
chimes.
Others were private machines drlV-
en- by persons who apparently wanted
to be friendly to the soldiers. Inc
numbers of the cars were taken, and
the haul may be followed by formal
investigation.
Military authorities are determined
to enforce the dry rule to the lei
ter.
The men who make up the head
quarters force of Gen. Charles II
Boardman and Gen. A. r. Richards
will soon be on their way to Waco rG
join the two brigade commanders who
left for the south few days ago.
The fact that brigade headquarters
will be removed to the southern can
torment is added evidence that the
troops here will be on the move lex
asward within a short time.

Washington, Aug. 29.-Trieste is be-
ing evacuated. Its civil population is
DESERVING the town, at the order Of
Austrian high command, according to
the Zurich correspondent of Corriere
d'Italia, whose dispatches were cabled
to the italian embassy here.
"Most of the citizens have left, tax
ing with them all articles of value"
the cable stated. They sought refuge
in the interior of Austria.
Hourly the Italian offensive becomes
more certain of a military decision,
cable messages say. The Austrian
troops in the sector dominated by
Monte Santo are reported so far ahead
of the Italians in their retreat that no
trace of them can be found except
tracks of abandoned munitions, guns
and food.
From Monte Santo, many square
miles of territory can be raked by the
Italian artillery. No Austrian posi-
tons in this zone can be held more
than a few hours.
Monte Gabriel and Monte Daniel still
are held by the Austrians, but are
isolated. No food or munitions can
reach the beleaguered troops. The fall
of these mountain forts is matter of
days, the cables say.
Emperor Charles spent the entire
day of August % at the front with
the Austrian high command and Gen
eral Boroceviz. He saw Tarnovo cap
tured and one fort on the Carso de-
stroyed by the Italian bombardment.
He left while the Italian troops were
charging to victory.
Austrian officers admit the precari-
Gus position of their troops. The Lokal
Anzeiger correspondent makes no eff
fort to conceal the important advan-
tages gained by the Italians.
Take 23,6o0 Prisoners.
Raining death on their Teutonic
foes, Italy's victorious troops are

Forcing the passage of the Isonzo

The swing from the north, which
was marked by the seizure Of Monte

WATSON OPPOSES
CENSORSHIP
(By United Press.)

WASHINGTON, June 1l.-Senator
James Z. Watson of Indiana went on
record today emphatically opposed
TO any sort of press censorship what
soever
II oppose press censorship on two
grounds" said Watson. It's unconsti-
tutional and it's un-American.
The constitution specifically guar
antees freedom OF the press. That's
enough for my first point.
"As for the second reason. this gov
eminent is founded on the theory of
fitness of men TO govern themselves"
Watson argued that men can be fit
to govern themselves only if they are
properly informed on current events.
and that such information can come
only through the press.
The most effective way to cover
up weakness and incapacity and to
keep in public office" he said. "is to
keep the people uninformed-ighor-
ant.
The incompetency of certain bu-
reau chiefs might be responsible
for colossal blunders-loss OF large
numbers of men-loss of ships. and
yet. because of political favoritism,
these chiefs might be retained in Of
fee if the people were not informed.
Better to sacrifice a few public Of
ficials. if need be. than to see large
numbers of soldiers unnecessarily
killed or our interests suffer"
Watson raped the censorship as al
ready applied by George Creel. chair
man of the committee on public in
formation.
The president has appointed a
law or authority of congress. George
Creel. it's chief, already has had the
effrontery 10 criticise an editor for
editorial comment on departmental in
efficiency. If he goes this far. purely
as an individual without authority
who could limit his action when given
legal powers"

NEGRO IS MANNED.

CROWN POINT. IND, June 12.-
When he attempted to jump through
freight train on the Pan Handle near
Kouts. a negro named Robinson. was
nearly killed, his two legs were cut off
and he was rendered unconscious. He
was FASTENED to the hospital at Logans-
port.
The man had been noticed around
Kouts earlier in the evening. for a
colored man is a novelty around that
town. Shortly before 10 o'clock he was
seen to start up the tracks toward the
coal docks.
At 10 o'clock the fellow attempted to
jump the freight. He was pulled under
the wheels of the train and both legs
were severed at the knee.
