NORTHWEST MAY Freeze;
COAL is NEEDED BADLY
Husting Says Operators Must Be Com
PEELED to Send Coal Into Territory
Threatened With Famine.

Washington, Aug. 18. - Wisconsin,
Minnesota, the Dakotas and Northern
Iowa are in danger of freezing to death
this winter if some relief is not had
by which the government shall COM
pei the coal operators and the ship
ping companies to supply these states
with sufficient coal for the winter.
If the states named are to be made
secure against freezing it will be nee
essary from now until the first of
September to have coal shipped into
them at the rate of 100000 tons
month. If this movement should not
begin until the first of December we
shall have to get more than 100000
tons month in addition to that which
the railroads ordinarily carry. Ship
ping on the Great Lakes ceases on
November IS. If the President will
issue an order directing the railroads
to furnish a sufficient number Of cars
and order the coal companies to dis
regard the price of coal entirely we
may be saved this winter.
We want the ore operators COM
PEELED to ship coal to us. AS it is our
people are confronted by two dangers
mot having any coal at all and hav-
ing coal at a price that the people
cannot pay.

WOUNDED AMERICANS MAY
BE AMBULANCE men
Possible Explanation Of London Report
of Arrival of U. S. Troopers
Wounded in France.

Paris, Aug. 17.-Robert ArrOWsmith,
q member of the American ambulance,
who was wounded July Is, has just
been discharged from the Red Cross
military hospital at Neuelly. He is on
his way back to the front.
Charles NJ. Isbell and Charles M.
Ashton who were wounded July Is in
shell explosion are reported out of
danger.
Considerable speculation was caus-
ed by a London dispatch quoting a
brief mysterious reference in the Lon
don Daily News about the arrival of
some wounded American soldiers from
the western front at the hospital at
Bath. The above dispatch to the In
ternational News Service gives rise to
the theory that the men referred to
by the London paper are mem hers of
the American ambulance who may
have been taken to the English hos
pital Members of this service have
in the thick of the fighting for some
time rescuing the wounded.

SPECULATION IN SUGAR
is PLACED UNDER BAN
Food Controller Requests New York
Exchange to Suspend All Dealings
in Futures of Staple.

New York, Aug. 17.-Speculation in
sugar, which has been advancing in
price for months, has been banned on
the New York Coffee and Sugar Ex-
change at the instance of Herbert c..
Hoover, food administrator. He re-
quested the exchange to suspend all
dealings in futures, based on his belief,
expressed in letter, that the normal
function of such trading to stabilize
prices is lost under present conditions
and operated to initiate prices. Con-
ditions were such, he said, as to slim
ulate speculation. He also asked the
exchange to limit itself to cash tran
sactions and to dealings solely be-
tween actual producers and buyers of
sugar for their own requirements.

NOTE NOT TO CHANGE WAR AIMS
POPE'S MESSAGE SUBJECT OF
CONFERENCES
Allied Diplomats Discuss Situation
With Lansing-To Act as Unit
Reply to Be Made.

Washington, Aug. II. 49, Conferences
among Allied diplomats crystallized
into conviction the opinion here that
Pope Benedict's peace move is not
likely to change in any substantial de-
gree the attitude either Of the Allies or
the American government.
1t is agreed, however, that there
must be made a response to the Pope
proposal far more comprehensive than
mere acknowledgment of receipt.
To do this without opening the field
to argument which might result in
developing differences between the
Allies to be seized upon by the Ger
mans is realized to be difficult and a
delicate undertaking.
Think Pope Imposed Upon.
While there is no disposition to
question the good faith Of the Pope, it
is conceivable that he might have been
imposed upon by German cunning, as
Stunning that he has been induced to
take this step through the pleas of the
strong Catholic elements in Austria
and Bavaria.
In anticipation of an outburst of
peace talk at the capitol, plans were
made by Senate leaders, both Demo
cratic and Republican, to prevent open
discussion of the subject in the Sen
ate.
Again the fact appeared that every
representative of the Allied powers is
bitterly opposed to that phase Of the
Pope's proposals which would leave
to the fate of a round-table conference
the disposition of such questions as
Alsace-Lorraine, Poland and Italia IT.
ridentia, and 1t was recalled that pre-
cisely that bait was held out by Chan
cellor Bethmann-HollWeg more than
a~,year ago when he realized that the
German wave Of invasion had reached
its height and that the tide might flow
backward.

SOLD SHOTGUN
FOR TEN DOLLARS
And Filed on Western Canada
Land. Now Worth $780, 900.

Lawrence Bros. of Vera, SasSatche-'
wan, are looked upon as being amongst
the most progressive farmers IN west
ern Canada. They have had their
"ups-and-downs," and know what it
Is to be in tight pinches. They perse-'
yered. and are now in an excellent
financial position. Their story is an
interesting one. Coming in from the
states they travelled overland from
Calgary across the Battle river, the
Red Deer river, through the Eagle
Hills and on to Battleford. On the
way their horses were stolen, but this
did not dishearten them. They had
some money, with which they bought
more horses, and some provisions.
When they reached Battleford they
had only money enough to pay their
ferriage over saskatchewan river,
and this they had to borrow. 1t was
in 1906 that they filed on homesteads,
having to sell shotgun for ten dol
lars in order to get sufficient money to
do so. Frank Lawrence says:
- "Since that time we have acquired
altogether a section and half OF
land, in addition to renting another
three quarters Of a section. If we
had to sell out now we could probably
realize about $4,000, and have made
all this since we came here. We get
crops in this district Of from 30 to
IS bushels of wheat to the acre and
oats from 40 to 80 bushels to the acre.
+ Stock here pays we'll. We have LOO
sheep, 70 cattle and 60 horses, of which
number are registered Clydes."
Similar successes might be given of
the experiences Of hundreds Of farm
ers throughout Western Canada, who
have done comparatively as we'll. Why
should they not dress we'll, live we'll,
have comfortable homes, with all mod
ern equipments, electric light, steam
heat, pure ventilation, and automo-
biles. Speaking of automobiles it will
be revelation to the reader to learn
that during the first half of 1917, 49,
900 automobile licenses were issued in
Alberta, twice as many as in the whole
of 1916. In Saskatchewan, $1,000 IL
censes were issued up to the first Of
y, -
June the Canadian Bank Of Commerce
makes special reference to this phase
and to the general prosperity Of the
West in the following:
"Generally speaking the western
farmer is, in many respects, in much
better position than hitherto to in
crease his production. Two years OF
high prices for his products have en-
abled him, even with a normal crop,
to liquidate a substantial proportion
of his liabilities and at the same time
to buy improved farm machinery. His
prosperity is reflected in the demand
for building materials motor cars
and other equipment. It is no doubt
true that some extravaganza is evil
denced by the astonishing demand for
motor cars, but it must be remembered
| that many of these cars will make for
efficiency on the farm and economic
both time and labor" -Advertisement

LLOYD George Answers Pope.

London, Aug. 1--we are fighting
for one thing, victory for democracy
over aggression" declared Premier
Lloyd George in an address here. His
utterance was regarded as especially
significant in view of the peace pre-
posals from the Pope. The premier
was discussing the program of the
Labor party when reference to the
aims Of the Allies was mate, but the
reiteration of the Allied basis of vic.
tory at this time by the premier was
greeted as the governments informal

cided Steps.

Washington, Aug. 18.-Grave men
ace to industries whose continuation
at high speed is deemed vital to the
prosecution of the war is seen by Of
ficials here in the growing activities
of Industrial Workers Of the World
leaders on the Pacific coast and In the
far Northwest. A pretentiOus program
calling for strikes, lockouts and gen.
eral disturbances over seven states,
or about one-fourth of the area Of the
country, has been brought to the at
tention Of the Department of Justice
by field investigators now in the affect
ed territory.
Swift and Drastic Action.
Swift and drastic action to check
the movement in so far as it would
cripple industries or certain produc-
ton of commodities necessary for war,
is planned by Department of Justice
officials. Prosecution of strike lead
ers, where justified in the opinion of
the department., on charges of conspir-
acy or under the espionage act is con-
templated in specific cases.
District attorneys in the four states
affected, as well as California, Arizona
and New Mexico, have been instructed
to devote unceasing attention to the
situation and institute proceedings
promptly where justified.
To Deal SummariIy.
Any organized movement, it was
said tending to prevent or delay har-
vesting of the country's crops in any
section would come clearly within the
class of subjects with which the Pres
ident was authorized by Congress in
the war resolution to deal virtually
summarily.
Another industry which already has
been affected to some extent is spruce
logging in Washington. At one stage
of the latter disturbances the govern
ment's great program of aircraft con-
struction appeared to be menaced, but
the situation in this industry has been
restored more nearly to normal within
the last few days.
Mining Affected.
A third industry which might be
seriously affected is copper mining in
Montana. The government is follow
ing this situation closely. The Presi-
dents personal Investigator, Chief
Justice Covington Of the supreme court
of the District of Columbia, may visit
the Northwest and the Pacific coast to
study the situation there.
