HOOVER IN PROTEST
Objects to Coal Priority Over
Food on Railroads.
Shows Necessity of Moving Perisf1a-
bIes in Statement Following Ac-
ton Of Food Administration.

Washington, Dec. 8. - President
Wilson's new American war council,
less than week old, has seen its
first clash.
Herbert c. Hoover, food administra-
tor, openly took issue with DR.. H. A.
Garfield, fuel administrator, on the
question Of priority in shipping orders
for railroads of the country. Mr.
Hoover says nothing should be placed
ahead of food.
DR.. Garfield has asked Judge Lovett,
priority director, for an order calling
on the railroads to handle coal ard
coke and empty coke cars in prefer
ence to all other freight commodities.
He based the request on the fact that
the country is reported to have only
about five or six days supply of coal
ahead of the day to day needs. AS
soon as he had made the request, he
wired to A. w. Thompson, chairman
of t2fs railway committee handling
traffic problems in the East, at Pitts
burgh, asking that the committee i'm
mediately give coal and coke prefer
ence, without waiting for the prior
ity order from Judge Lovett.
Later Chairman Thompson wired
that Dr. Garfield's wishes were being
met.
A Jew hours after it became known
that DR.. Garfield had practically taken
over the railroads in his determined
effort to avoid an actual coal famine,
Mr.. Hoover issued a statement disap-
proving any priority that gives coal,
coke or any other commodity absolute
right of way over foodstuffs on rail-
roads.

Most congressional leaders believe

method. Chairman Kitchin of the.

London Dec. 3.-General Byng's
troops have been pushed back at sew
eral points by the Germans in vio-

where the British had made their
notable gains.
Especially severe was the attack
between the Bourbon wood and Moeu-
vres, where the British line held UNI
der the impetus and repulsed all at
tacks north of the Bapaume- Cambria
road. On the southern base the en-
envy drove through from Gonnelieu to
Gouzeaucourt-a distance of two
miles. The village of Lavacquerie
was captured by the Germans but
later in counter attack was recov-
cred.
Other counter attacks have driven
the enemy from Gouzeaucourt and the
ridge to the east.

Under cover of artillery fire the Ger

the crest of the ridge west of the
wood, and down to the vicinity of the
Bapaume- Cambria road, just north of
Graincoult.
The British, after the first shock,
organized counter attack and flung
themselves against the advancing Ger
mans. Later it was reported that the
British had succeeded in pushing back
the enemy, although the latter was re-
sisting flercely.
All day a concentration of German
guns, which had been rushed up for
the attack, have been pounding the
British forward and back areas and a
considerable amount of gas shells has
been thrown. The battle west of Bour-
Ion wood was still continuing with
great fierceness.

Declaring firm adherence to the war
aims of the Allies, as defined by the
premier. Mr.. Bonar Law and Mr.. AS
auith, it was decided that the resolu-
tions should be wired to the premier
and Mr.. Balfour at Paris.
Great Enthusiasm.
A scene of great enthusiasm ensued,
the delegates rising and singing the
national anthem. Bonar Law deliv-
cred a speech in which he admitted
that he had never met anyone more
patriotic or disinterested than the
Marquis Of Lansdowne. Nevertheless,
Mr.. Bonar Law said: II disagree 'abso-
lutely, not with the arguments, but
with the whole tone of the letter. 1t
is not that we do not desire peace.
1t is horrible to look forward to Il
continuance of the war, but it is
strange assumption that because the
Germans declare their readiness for
pact of nations and talk Of disarma-
mcnt that peace therefore is possible.
Before the war our government
did not dare. suggest disarmament to
Germany. They often went near it,
but the Germans regarded it almost as
a casus belli, and before the war
books recommending disarmament
were prohibited in Germany and be-
lieve they are prohibited to this day.
"You heard nothing of this kind of
thing in the first and second years of
the war when things were not going

peace were conceivable it would mean
that the very men who in my judg-
ment committed the greatest crimes in
history, who plunged the world into
anguish and misery, would be left

chinery, ready to repeat the same
thing when opportunity rose in the flu.
