CONTROL OF RETAIL COAL
PLANS NEARLY READY
Fuel Administration May Announce
Regulations in Few Days-Pro-
tests Received Daily.

Detailed plans by which the fuel ad-
ministration hopes to extend the regu-
lation of the coal industry to retailers
probably will be announced within a
few days.
Every effort is being made to expedite
cially in view of the fact that many
various points, including one as close
had.
A further step was taken today with
the sending to President Wilson by
wireless of two of the names of men
who will serve as a sort of cabinet to
DR.. Garfield in the performance of his
duties as fuel administrator. One of
the recommendations is for an engi-
neering expert. and the other is for a
man who shall have special supervision
over bituminous coal.
Announcement of the names will be
made as soon as they are approved by
the President.
Next will come the naming of the
state fuel administrators, and these Of
ficials Will be of supreme Importance
in relation to the retail distribution of
coal. They will have full power within
the states to regulate coal selling, in
conformity with the regula tions of the
national fuel adminstrati ton. Great
care is being exercised in their selec-
tion as it is deemed of highest mo-
ment that they should be men wholly
disinterested. of executive ability and

planes. the Belgians three and the Dutch
four. The English admitted the loss of
1O1 machines. The other beilgerents do
not announce their losses. The Germans
claim to have felled 157 aeroplanes and
nineteen balloons.
One of the new features of flying de-
veloped this year was highly effective
aeroplane attacks on trenches during big
offensives. The aerial bombardments
were tremendous in August. The French
alone dropped more than seventy tons
of explosives on the enemy's lines. one
night they dropped more than $4,000
kilograms $4,000 pounds. The English
activity was similar. The Italians
dropped f1fty-four Kilograms (more than
III pounds OF explosives in seventeen
days. In the attack on the 1sonzo front
20s aeroplanes took part. The Belgians
accomplished 200 flights in a single day.
The Germans also undertook many bomb
ing expeditions. They killed forty-three
men who lay wounded in French hos
pital and also bombarded Holland, the
aviators giving as an excuse that a
landing was necessary and that they
feared to land before they had dropped
the explosives. NJ. Mortane concludes:

Realize Need to Service,

The reason why the men and the sur
geon show so much sympathy for the
horses and mules and take such good
care of them is not natural fondness for
the animal, but because they know
are to the service. Cavalry and artil-
since the winter of 1914. but thousands
of horses and their drivers, who are
seldom mentioned in the dispatches, are
under fire nearly every day. They go
up to the lines along roads split up by
shell holes and across trails and freshly
laid plank roads to carry ammunition
and rations to the gunners at the bat
teries and to the men in the trenches
and dugouts. They advance in the open
along routes known to the enemy and
upon which the enemy cannon are fo-
cussed by aeroplanes and observation
balloons. They may not even throw
themselves on their stomachs when
they hear the scream of an approaching
shell. They drive steadily on in the
darkness and cold of the night until the
young transport officer who leads the
CONVOY gives the order to halt. The or
der seldom comes unless the road ahead
is being very heavily shelled.
Now at night when ! lie safe in a
trench dugout on hill and hear on the
road below the rumble of many wheels.

harness, the steady tramp of hoofs and

LONDON, September 14.-Silver is

the lips of ordinary folk for the first
time since William ]. Bryan was ex-
horting the people of the United States
to resist it's crucifixion upon a cross of
gold. The trouble then was the low
price of silver: the trouble now is the
high price of silver. Two years ago
silver sold at slightly over % pence
torughly. a cents) an ounce. Today
its price in London is 4 shillings, 8
pence tabout S1.14) an ounce. This is
the result of the immense monetary
disturbance in such countries as China,
Mexico and India
In India. for example. the value of
the rupee is ! shilling, pence (32
cents), whereas the silver it contains
is worth at least 2 pence a cents)
more. This means that the rupee profit
ably may be melted down and sold as
bullion, process that would be dis
astrous to the whole intricate currency
system of the Indian empire. The gov
ernment is exerting itself to prevent
such a process by prohibiting the ex-
port of silver from India and prohibit

PARIS, France. September 14.-Jacques
Mortane, in La Guerre Acrienne, gives a
remarkable glimpse of the progress ac-
complished in aviation by summarizing
the flying done in the month of Au-
gust in each of the four years Of the
war. In August. 1914. the French were
poorly equipped for aviation, as the army
chiefs We're inclined to consider the aero
plane more as means of sport than a
weapon. The aviators made long and
somewhat useless reconnossances and
carried out a few bombardments with
somewhat ineffective projectiles. Eleven
enemy aeroplanes We're brought down
during the month by the allies.
Some of the aviators had remarkable
personal adventures at that time owing
to the open nature of the fighting. Per-
haps the most striking was that of two
Belgian pilots who were obliged to land
near some Uhlans. They left the aero
plane and escaped. but on learning that
the machine was in the same place under
guard, they returned two days later in an
armored automobile, drove off the guard
and took possession of the aeroplane.

Miners Going to War.

"'I do not see any near promise of re-

how can they with the worlds present
tremendous demand upon the miners
skill and labor? Many of our best Cor
nsh miners, for instance. are sapping
under the defenses of kaiserism. and
the American miners. l fancy. will be
doing likewise before long. Meanwhile
the circulation of silver will grow enor-
mously. More silver is circulating in
England now than before the war In

No Solution of Problem.

There is absolutely no solution of
this curious economic problem" de-
clared a great London banker to me
this morning. Than this man there
is no ADLER authority on silver in Lon
don. Makeshifts are all we can
achieve for its solution. We must
await the operation of natural causes.
With the disappearance of abnormal
conditions we must expect the return
OF more normal relations between silver
and gold. l do not anticipate the re-
monetization of silver. Its fluctuations
in value would be equally disturbing
whether they went up or down.
Strictly speaking, We have no gold
basis now, though we have the gold
standard, and l fancy we shall keep to
it after the war. In whatever direction
one looks one sees an explanation for
the mounting price of silver The sup
ply has decreased and the consumption
has vastly increased. Every belliger-
ent country is coming silver as fast as
it can. The Mexican output has been
cut in two. and China is buying silver
hear that even Russia has bought
5000 .o0e pounds tsc5 .000. .000) worth OF
silver The trade is absorbing huge
amounts. Munition workers are now
buying silver teapots. where they used
to buy plate or earthenware. All SOL
diers like silver. as paper does not suit
their pockets There is no gold in cir
culation among the Chinese and the
naVvles in France want silver.
