US. MAYsElLALl COAL
New Plan Provides for Full Gov

Halt In Production to Be Followed

Warned.

Washington, Nov. 26.-A possibility
seen here is eventual government pool
ing and selling of all coal mined an the
United States in the fue .adlninistra-
tions approval of producers pool
just formed at lCleveland which will
handle shipments of mines in Ohio,
West Virginia, part OF Pennsylvania
and perhaps Tennessee and Kentucky.
The creation of other pools will be
encouraged.
Ii government pooling is put into
effect it will be made operative next
spring and will supersede the ship
pers' pools. Under such an arrange
ment the government would requisi.
ton at the mines tie entire output OF
coal, selling il without prorfit. Such
a plan was suggested by the Federal
Trade commission before the govern.
ment took control of the coal indus
try. II, however, called not only for
government sale of coal under pool,
but for system of>paying producers
on a cost plus basis.
Advantages in government pool
pointed out by officials would be that
distribution would be easier, since the
government itself would direct ship
ments and more efficient operation OF
priority of movement.

s. Divers Hunt Successfully.

Washington. Nov. 26.-Definite news
of the destruction of another German
submarine by American destroyers
has reached the navy department in
a cabled report from Vice Admiral
Sims. The submarine, damaged by a
depth bomb, went down with all or
board after destroyer had attacked
line and was attempting to take her
in tow
Two destroyers took part in the
action One. sighting a periscope ut
400 yards, headed for 1t and dropped
s deadly depth bomb. Soon afterwaid
the submarine came to the surface,
with no sign of life aboard. The Sc
cond destroyer steamed up and at
tached a line but the U-boat, appar-
emily shattered by the bomb, went to
the, bottom.
Hunt U-eoats With Submarines.
Washington, Nov. 26.-One-third of
all the German submarines that are
being destroyed are being sunk by
allied submarines. A few months ago
duel between submarines was con-
sidered merely a freak Of chance. Now
submarines are systematically hunting
submarines. A flotilla of American
submarines has been dispatched across
the Atlantic to join in the hunt. The
underwater boats of the Allies are
destroying as many of their German
kind as the destroyers are. Their
unexpected success in the hunt has
largely contributed to the confidence
of the naval authorities that the mem
ace of the German submarine has
been removed.

Secretary Baker Says Need Be
No Delay in Rushing Troops
to France.

Menace.

Washington, Nov. 26.--In the first
statement he has ever authorized In
connection with the progress made in
increasing General Pershing's forces,
Secretary Oh War Baker says that the
arrival OF American trops in France
had kept pace with the expectacions OF
the War department.
Mr., Baker declined, however, to
state the number of troops forwarded
or to indicate whether he anticipated
delay from this time. Movement of
the forces, he said, depended on two
elements, the training and equipment
of the men and the availability OF
ships.
"As fast as the men are ready ships
will be made available" the secretary
said. "As many American troops are
now overseas as we expected in the
beginning to have overseas at this
time"
VIII Loosen Censorship.
Mr.. Baker indicated that an official
statement of the number OF American
troops in France was not to be ex-
pected at any time during the war. He
caused an inquiry to be made of the
military censor. Major General McIn-
tyre, however, which may result in

lication Of the designation of the regi-
ments, brigades or companies, which
are engaged in. action on the front
from time to time. II there is no
sound military reason for suppressing
that information, Mr.. Baker said, he
desired to give. 1t out.
The secretary's attention was called
to the fact that British official state
ments recently have named at least
by geographical designation the troops
used in various offensives. Apparently
a new policy in this regard has been
adopted in London and the War. de
partment may do likewise.
u-Boat No Longer a Menacc!
'The submarine is no longre a men
ace, although it is a handicap" said
Assistant secretary of the Navy Frank
lin ID. Roosevelt, discussing the situa
ton in the light of late developments
and of reports from Vice Admiral Sims
at London.
"The army and navy have reached
a perfect working agreement concern
Ing troop movements. This agreemen
contemplates on the part of the navy
of the supply of ships for the number
OF troops the army may desire to move
at given time, and by the army o.
the preparation of troops in proportion
to the number of ships the navy has
available for transport work"

LABOR TO STAND FIRM IN WAR
To Continue Production Despite All
Disputes.

Buffalo, Nov. 26 - The American
Federation of Labor, by unanimous
vote, adopted statement of the con-
ditions and principles that must be
applied to industrial problems aris
ing from the war as far as union la
bor is concerned.
The declaration is regarded as in
line with the general understanding
that has existed between President
Wilson and President 0ompers. but
there are some points that have been
in doubt which the statement clari-
fed.
The declaration does not say there
shall be no strikes.

graph says. that production should
not cease because of an apparent in
justice or oversight contained in an
award, for it is necessary to the ma

that there should be no cessation oi
work except as last resort.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Officials oi
this government regard the Bolshev-
Xxi move for an armistice between
Russia and her enemies and the open.
ing of immediate peace negotiations
as an act that would place Russia al.
most in the list of unfriendly nations.
1t was pointed out that should these
negotiations be successful it would be
most difficult to deal with Russia as a
neutral country in view of the posi-
tion she has held as an ally of the
nations fighting Germany and the
marked advantaget in the war that
such course might give the latter
country.

Leon Trotzky, the Bolsheviki foreign
minister. Trotsky emphatically de
clared that the Soldiers and Work

arate peace with Germany. He voiced
his conviction that Russia's initiative

by the proletariat of all countries, AL
lied or enemy, which will make impos
sible continuation of the war even
II the governments do not accept the
offer.

Japan MUST WITHHOLD AID
impossible to Send Troops With Dis
order in Russia.

Pittsburgh, Nov 26.--Unless inter-
nal disorders of Russia are subdued
and cooperation of the Russian troops
is guaranteed, the Entente powers
need expect little assistance from
their Japanese ally on the Eastern
front, declared A. Kasama, member
of the Japanese imperial railway COM
mission, in an address here.
ut would be of little value to send
assistance to Russia as long as the
people are quarreling among them,
selves. Until cooperation of Russian
troops can be secured, in my opinion,
Japan will not send any men to their
assistance. But IL that cooperation
can be guaranteed, Japan will send
all the men that is necessary, not
only to the Eastern front, but to tlE
Western front also"
