PRESIDENT SUSPICIOUS
OF PATRIOTIC" PACT

While Administration Goes Thor

May Take Charge Of All Coal I'm
mediateIy After It is Mined.

Washington, July S.-President VIII
son yesterday took hand in an at
tempt to eliminate the dangers Whlch
are feared will come through inter-
mingling of patriotism and profit
eering." The case Immediately in point
is the matter of coal prices,
The president himself, it was learn
ed on highest authority, is not satisfied
that last weeks patriotic price fix
ing agreement of several hundred coal
operators will solve the problem OF
the threatened serious coal shortage
and the matter of mounting prices.
AS result the prices agreed upon
were suspended. The matter is TO be
held in allegiance until the president
goes rhoroully into this matter. which
has already caused the most serious
split in cabinet ranks since the decia.
ration of war.
May Take All Coal.
One plan for solution which the ad-
ministrat;on is considering is that sus-
gested in the Calder bill introduced IN
the house. This bill, backed whole
heartedly by the federal trade commits
sion. would give the government con-
troll of all coal Immediately it is mined.
The government would then distribute
at az a cost plus profit percentage
price through the ordinary channels I"
big wholesalers.
Any attempt at boosting Of prices
would be met with refusal by the
government to deliver any more coal.
Even those who favor the Calder
bin, however. said il would be insult
ficient unless the government takes
charge also Of all coal carrying cars
These men insisted cars is the an
swer' to the coal and food problem.
This belief is held by at least two
members Of the interstate commerce
commissions. by nearly ali Of the federal
trade commission and oy Secretaries
Daniels and Baker.
Only One Detail, Says Lane.
Secretary Lane insists that the mat
ter Of cars is only one detail he
thinks labor is as big an issue
Secretary Baker issued statement
today disclaiming that there was any
difference Of opinion between secre-

ton Of the price of COAL
Explaining that his mind was not
against any evidence that
might be adduced,' Mr.. Baker added
that his present information indicates
that the SO proposal of the operators
is an exorbitant figure.
The attitude of Secretary Baker,
however, will not oyerturn the agree
ment made by coal operators. fne'
new price of So ton at the mine went
into effect yesterday and viii stsn0
until a final price is fixed. TIE gov

Defeat on Face of Returns Early in Evening Long Before Friends Were Willing to Concede ItMerry
 Crowd Hears Returns at the City Hall

George B. Ward hero of many vic torious political battles, was the cheer fest loser a Birmingham campaign has ever developed.
 When he was convinced that pr. Barrett had been elected president of the city commission=and he was con- vinced long before any other man con- nected with his forces was convinced he Issued serious and conventions al statement
 In that statement he conceded the election, expressed regret in that a "hot campaign" had gone against him, congratulated the victor and wished him success in the administration of municipal affairs
 That duty having been observed, MT. Ward entertained his friends with fa- cetious remark, laughable jest and pleasant "reminiscences. Through it all he constantly and heartily laughed.
 SOURCES OF CONSOLATION
 There are two sources of consola- tion," he declared at one point. 'T am relieved of the job and pr. Barrett s got it."
 moment later he exclaimed: "And am glad it's over tonight Otherwise would be up against a soap-box cam paign for an entire week. see my. self now excitedly addressing the neo- pie on street corners. And I doubt ii could improve on my friend, Arlie Barber" ssm1 s3H
 At that juncture a clerk reported that Frank, the city chauffeur, who on account of Dr. Barrett's "automo- hile" charges regarded himself as an issue in the campaign, was sitting silent and dazed

Suppose you were in France today; perhaps, in the midst of crowded street alone no acquaintance among all these strange people; shut off in a large meas ure from real social intercourse with them by lack of knowledge of the lan- guage.
 You can without much strain of your imagination realize just such situation.
 Suddenly around the corner come two young fellows in the trim, business like khaki uniform of the army of your own country.
 What would you do?
 You'd rush up to them and grab their hands: you'd laugh with joy; you'd tell them who you are, where you come from; you'd try to discover some acquaintances: or common experiences. And after few minutes. suppose one of them said, Have you got anything to smoker" What would you do?
 You'd go the limit. If you had cigars. you'd hand them over; or cigarettes you'd say-"You bet have; good United States smokes; the kind you can't get in France. You fellows are welcome to what have; and if youll come to my hotel. I'll give you more"
 Under ordinary circumstances you couldn't do it; the French customs of flee wouldn't let you bring in lot or American smokes. But you can do just that without going to France. You can send one or 50 of our special smoke kits to our soldiers in France at 25 cents each. The French government admits these kits duty free. A post card in each kit stamped. with your address on 1t ready to mail. will come back to the sender of the kit.
