it was indicated there probably will be no direct denial of either fuel or trans portation to any industries.
 The best plan, it has been decided,
 is to begin at the top Of the list and assure coal and rail movement to the
 essentials. This in itself will go- far
 upwards accomplishing the ends sought. Fuel Administrator Garfield already has sent to coal producers a preferred list of consumers to serve them as a guide to filling orders and at his request the railroads are giv- ing preference to coal shipment. The committee on priority of trans portation, of which Robert s. LoVett is chairman, is disposed to go at the problem of denying rail movement to non essentials very deliberately. It is even likely, it was learned today.
 that no general priority order giving
 preferential movement to certain com
 modities will be issued, at least for a
 time.

stockholm. Sept 19.-It is generally
believed here that the troubles of the
Swedish government in connection with
the German kilograms forwarded from
Buenos Aires through the Swedish le-
CATION are by no means over. The

the tone of the Swedish communica-

Secretary Lansing of the Washington
state department were to call for a
clear and unequivocal statement to the
effect that the forwarding Of Ameri-

open to the Swedish authorities and
with the knowledge and consent of the
governments concerned was in no.
wise comparable to the services rem
dered to Germany by Sweden.

conferences on Monday afternoon.

MANY MoNTANANS USED
BOATS FOR COAST TRAVEL

The two steamers. the Great North
ern and the, Northern Pacific. were
owned and operated by the Great
Northern Pacific Steamship company
They were two of the floating palaces
OF the Pacific ocean and were operated
between Flavel, Ore, and San Fran
cisco. During certain periods Of the
year the Great Northern was used for
transportation purposes between San
Francisco and Honolulu. There was
much travel from Montana on those
boats. which carried much of the pas
senger business over the Great North
ern, Northern Pacific and Milwaukee
from Seattle to California. II is ex-
pected the vessels will be fitted out as
transports
The Great Northern and the North
ern Pacific, while mainly passenger
boats, carried freight cargo amounting
to about 1000 tons on each trip. There
are three ships, the property of the
Pacific Steamship company, the Presi-
dent, the Governor and the Congress.
which carried about an equal tonnage
with the two ships Of the Great North
ern Pacific Steamship company. These
three are still in service. THE Dakota
and the Minnesota were two OF the
largest vessels operating on the Pa
ciiic ocean They piled between Seat
tie and the Orient. The Dakota was
wrecked several years ago and the
Minnesota is in the European trade.

the trial of General Soukhomlinoff, the
former Russian minister of war. who
is facing a charge Of high treason,
having concluded their evidence, the

explanation he might wish to make
Speaking in a weak. tired voice, he en-
deavored to prove the necessity of dis

had given orders. He declared that,
owing to the conditions OF modern

ali their strategic importance and
would only have been traps for the re-

yiction that provisional defensive

were in progress were of far greater
practical utility"
General Soukhomlinoff concluded by
saying he never concerned himself
