composed of the prime minister and a
member OF the government of each Of the
great powers whose armies are fighting
on that front. the extension of the scope
OF the council to other fronts to be re-
served for discussion with the other great
powers.
"Second-The supreme war council has
for its mission to watch over the general
conduct Of the war. 1t prepares recon-
mendations for the consideration of the
governments and keeps itself informed OF
their execution and reports thereof to the
respective governments.
"Third-The general staff and military
commands of the armies of each power
| charged with the conduct of the military
| operations remain responsible to their re-
spective governments.
"Fourth-General war plans drawn by
competent military authorities are sub.
mitted to the supreme war council, which
under high authority of government in.
sures its concordance and submits, If need
be. any necessary changes.
| 'Fifth-Each power delegates to the
supreme war council one permanent
military representative, whose ex.
elusive function is to act as technical
adviser to the council.
"Sixth-Military representatives re.
ceive from the government and the
competent military authorities Of theil
country all proposals. information and
documents relating to the conduct o,
the war.
"seventh-The military representa-
tives watch day by day the situation
Of the forces and the means Of al
| kinds OF which the allies and enem,
armies dispose.
"Eighth-The supreme war council
meets normally at Versailles. wher,
the permanent military representative
and staffs are established; they ma,

COAL SHORTAGE
100000 TONS
Immediate Measures to Relieve
Situation Planned by
DR.. Garfield.

Washington, Nov. A-The 1917 coal
shortage is put at 5o.000,00O tons in est-
mates completed to-day by the fuel ad-
Although production of
and anthracite together has
jumped 50,000,000 tons. consumption, it is
declared, has increased at least 10O, 1000, 900
tons.
Immediate measures to meet the situa-
tion planned by Fuel Administrator Gar
field include curtalment Of shipments to
non-essential industries, priority orders
designed to increase the car supply and a
campaign for coal conservation in manu-
featuring establishments and households.
Previous statements from the fuel ad-
ministration had indicated the belief that
the increased production might meet the
enlarged demand. Munitions plants, how
ever, are said to be using fully fifty per
cent. more coal than they used a year
ago and other lines Of industry stimulated
by war conditions are demanding nearly as
large an increase in their supplies.
1.-THE fuel administration is determined"
said DR.. Garfield to-day. that war indus
tries, public utilities and domestic con-
sumers shall be supplied. To this end the
fuel administration expects the co-opera-
ton of every coal user in the country.
uo lucl Will doC GIL Va 10
authority to prevent the waste Of fuel and
the unnecessary use Of coal. Domestic
users will be urged to conserve their sup
plies.
Wherever the unnecessary use of coal
in industry threatens to embarrass war in
dustry the fuel administration will see
that the war needs are filled.
IAN activities which are unnecessary
to the maintenance OF the military or eco
nomic efficiency will have to give way by
curtailment to the necessities of war and
this must be accomplished without undue
curtailment of the domestic supply.
This policy Is expected to relieve not
only the demand for coal but part of the
enormous pressure on the transportation
facilities of the country"
DIR. Garfield illustrated the increased
demand for coal by pointing to the re-
quirements of the Bethlehem Steel com
pany, which Is consuming this veal
5000, 900 tons more than 1t took In 1916
| The demands Of the government, includ'
ing the requirements OF the fighting forces
of the army and navy. jumped this veal
from 100000 to 100000 tons. The re-
quirements Of public utilities companie.
have increased about SO per cent. Mos
of this increase was due to the increased
use of power by munitions plants.
| Solution of the car shortage problems
| officials believe, will do as much towart
| increasing the supply to meet the demant
as will curtailment of industry, although
| the best possible use of transportation
| facilities still would leave the countr.
many millions of tons short of fuel
| Curtailment therefore will be enforced
| to the point where consumption and pro
duction are balanced.
