limited Press Leased Wire Service:]
: WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-The coal
crisis practically nationwide, Is re-
ceiying President Wilson's attention
today. Drastic action is expected
unless the situation is relieved imme.
diately.
Reports Of consumers unable to
buy coal; Of freezing apartment
buildings and houses; of imminent
shutdown in public utility plants
and Industries, are pouring in. Rail
roads are confiscating coal for their
pressing needs and similar steps are
threatened by cities in Ohio and
elsewhere.
The need for coal is particularly
acute in small cities away from
direct coal routes. Many homes are
resorting to use of oil. wood and gas
for heat.
When acute shortage Is reported to
the fuel administration here, steps
for relief are Immediately ordered.
Coal prices have shown no appre-
ciable nationwide drop since the
government took over regulation of
the industry. In many cities, despite
price fixing at the mines and l1mtta-
ton of jobbers and retailers profits,
consumers have been required to pay
more than formerly.
Garfield laid the entire situation
before President Wilson at the lat
ter's behest. In Garfield's opinion,
the crisis is largely the result Of
public hysteria, abetted by coal in
terests dissatisfied with the govern
ment's price fixing policy.
Garfield charged that operators
holding contracts at prices above
those fixed by the president, are de-
livering coal on these contracts
rather than ALLEGATION of their out
put.
He intimated that the governm ent
may shortly scale down" these high
priced contracts in order to assure
other consumers a supply

Haig struck again early today In the
Ypres sector.
"At $40 this morning we again
attacked on the west front, northeast
and east of Ypres in conjunction with
our allies on the left" Haig reported
I've made satisfactory progress. The
weather is stormy
The vast morass of mud over Flan-

British made their overwilelmfngly
successful "big push" of last week

Today's blow comes more quickly
after a great offensive than any slml-
lar drive which the British have un-
dertaken in more than a year. Haig
heretofore has been content to strike
staggering blow, reach certain
specified objects and then hold these
until every plan was perfected for
further advance--possibly for weeks
Haie delivered : such a blow last
/ Thursday. He advanced over front

! From this change in tactics London
barbored growing belief that the
whole comprehensive British CAM
paign plan-to cut off the German
submarine bases at Zeebrugge and
| Ostend-now seemed likely to be
realized, possibly at an early date.
In addition, it Is believed that the
sudden change in Haig's customary
tactics, was another proof OF the
complete failure Of the newly adopt
