TO INCREASE COAL SUPPLY
Every influence Of the U. s. Govern
ment VIII Be Exerted To
This End.

Washington.-Ever government IN
fiuence will be exacted this fall and
winter to increase the production OF
coal, and little fear of serious short
age-is felt among officials here. This
was indicated at the White House, aft.
er receipt of reports from mary sec
tions of the country that retailers could
not fill orders because of low stocks.
Officials pointed out that similar con-
ditions exist nearly every year at this
time. Persons who discussed the coal
situation with President Wilson ex-
pressed the belief that with the pre-
iiminary arrangements for supervising
coal production and distribution about
completed by the fuel administration,
definite results In the way OF insur-
ing steady flow OF coal to the mar
kets would be evident soon. Within a
week all state coal administrators
probably will have been named. and
will be cooperating with DR.. Garfield.

British troops, which began an at

Reports were received that every
thing was going well with the British
attack in Flanders. The troops along
wide front had pushed forward to a
depth averaging 800 yards, or more.
Prisoners were beginning to come
in early, although slowly, owing to
the condition Of the ground. Indica-
tions are that the Germans early
were aware that trouble was impend-
ing, as about 4 a. m. a large number
of gas shells were fired by them along
the British front.

Washington President Wilson has
sounded a call for the mobilization of

supervision of the federal reserve
board.
In statement made public through

eligible non-member state banks and
trust companies to join the federal re-
serve system without delay that they
may contribute their share" to the
consolidated gold reserves of the coun-
try and aid more effectively in "a Wig
orous prosecution and successful ter.
mination of the war"
Scores of such institutions have
flocked to the system within the past
three weeks, among them some of the
largest trust companies of New York.
Philadelphia and other cities. The
movement to the federal reserve sys-
tenn has lacked onlp final tmpelling
force to assume the proportions of

Brooklyn.-Reports of incendiarism
In connection with disastrous wa
terfront fire, which destroyed an ele-
vator and nearly 100000 bushels Of
grain here were revived when Fire
Chief Kenion issued q statement say
ing the cause of the blaze would be
rigidly investigated. The property
loss Is estimated at more than ST.
100000.
There have been Sc waterfront
fires in New York City lately, and 1t
Is improbable that all resulted from
natural causes" the chief said.
The grain consumed was intended
for export, according to officials Of
the New York Dock company, owners
Of the elevator.
Supt Tomlins, In charge of the ele-
vator. declared the fire was caused by
an explosion inside the structure. He
said the nature of this explosion war
ranted the suspicion of a bomb
planter being responsible. This
theory was scoffed by Fire Marshal
Brophy, who, after a preliminary in
vestigation, said he believed an ex-
plosion Of grain dust" had occurred.
Each said the cause he assigned
would account for the blowing out OF
portion of wall where the fire orig
mated. When the difficulty of com
batting the flames became apparent,
every fire boat and every other avail
able piece of apparatus was called
into service.
The fire was one of the most spec.
tacular in the history of the New
| York waterfront.
