Late Today.

Announcement that the 100000 reg
istered men not called in the first
draft will be ordered up for examina-
ton Immediately is expected to fol-
low a conference this afternoon be-
tween Secretary OF War Baker and
Provost Marshal General Crowder.
1t has been definitely decided by the
War Department to order the exami-
nation OF the 100000 men Today's
conference will deal merely with de-
tails OF this.
The real question 10 be dealt with
at the conference is that OF a second

The plans of the General sta1 for
the handling of the first draft have
been completed. II Is broadly hint
ed that some OF the drafted men will
receive not more than sixteen weeks
training before they are sent TO
France.
Second Draft by Christmsst
Little surprise now would be oc-
casioned by. a draft before Christ
mas. This does not mean that the
men will actually be called from their
homes. but that a date for the second
draft will be announced by that time.
The actual mobilization probably will
not take place until March or April
II is also indicated that instead OF
calling out 10000 or more men-the
limit allowed under the existing law

U. S. MAY take ALL
Coal FROM Mines
Trade from Miner to Retailer Must
Get Together at Top Speed.

Unless the coal trade from
miner to retailer-gets together
and proceeds with business at top
speed. it was freely predicted here
last night, that the government will
take over the entire product of the
mines and dispense II under the
pooling provisions of the Lever bill.
DR.. Harry A. Garfield, the fuel
administrator. hurried to the White
House yesterday afternoon, dis
placed several previous appoint
ments with the President and held
lengthy conference with Mr.. VIII
son.
These are the elements which cloud
the situation:
/. The President, the Federal Trade
Commission, DR.. Garfield and many
of the coal men admit that business
can be done under the Presidents
prices.
2. These persons all deny there is a
serious shortage of coal.
3. Yet the rumor persists that coal
Is short, that many mines will have
to close, and that labor trouble Is i'm
minent in many mine fields.
4. Back of these suggestions is al
ways the hint that the prices of coal
should be increased.
1t has further been rumored here
that operators and dealers are resort
ing to various subterfuges to increase
the Presidents price. One man told
here yesterday of hearing a large
wholesaler bet" an operator that he
would not sell his coal for more than
the Presidents 81 a ton.
The operator took the "bet," sold
his coal to this wholesaler, and the
wholesaler paid the bet" netting the
operator 81 ton on the deal.
Reports have also been received that
retailers are telling of an alleged
shortage as grounds for refusing de-
liveries until certain customers who
promise secrecy importunate them
with higher prices.
The fuel administration Is admitted
ly handicapped by the lack Of field
organization, due to the failure Of the
President to appoint fuel administra-

Thought Vatican Would Comply.
The fact that Justice Cohalan was
one Of the central figures in the mess
Of intrigue unearthed in the Won Igel
papers. that he is alleged to have ad-
vised Germany to conduct Zeppelin
raids against England and to foment
an Irish rebellion under the Inflated
Sir Roger Easement, lends significance
to the ardent interest which Bern
storf took on behalf of his cousin
in Cork.
The then German envoy apparently
had no doubt that a suggestion from
Berlin to Rome would FIX the mat

matter of course that German influence
was paramount at the Vatican. This
assumption has been repudiated on
numerous occasions by the Catholic
clergy.
