Cleveland, O. August 29.-Special) The Iron Trade Review today says:
 Confusion and doubt virtually have paralyzed the effective war relations of the government and business. Men aced by heavy fine and imprisonment through the food control bill iron and steel manufacturers are being obliged to withhold their complete advice and Incorporation in the distribution of products of their industry In the meantime Washington, in directing it's wits and energy to the clearing of the muddle which suddenly has threatened its elaborate war machine. An impor-
 tant new question which complicates the issue pertains to the application of the sherman antitrust law to the organization of the advisory war boards of manufacturers and business men and to the functions which they have been performing. The ruling of the Attorney General on this point as
 well as his interpretation of the incom- prehensible clause in the food control bill still Is awaited.

 of wonderful parks and points of scenic and historic interest. The stores of the city are always crowded and the merchants are evidently reaping a harvest off the soldiers. However, the prices charged are not any more than would be quoted in any other congested locality. There is a rush demand by a class of people willing to pay and with ready money, so that it is the natural thing to ask good healthy prices for everything.
 However, in many other ways Chat tanooga more than makes up to the soldiers. In fact the town is open to them Every club in the city has a standing invitation to all the student officers and courtesies of every nature are thrust upon the candidates at the week ends. This means a lot to fel- lows after five and a half days of drills.
 The grade of men in attendance at the second officers training camp is an inspiration to the earnestly in clined. Clean -cut chaps, men with the mark of success on their faces, are coming with the light in their eyes of true champions of the fight liberty and democracy is making against au tocracy The question of youth can not pe cHdTSeu dBdiHSt the HieH III the second camp, as they will easily average over 30 years of age, which makes them volunteers in the truest sense.
 Another inspiring sight to the can didate officers Is the smartness of the officers seen about Chattanooga. They serve as pattern lessons to the em- bryonic officers. These officers are all clean-cut chaps and following the ex change of courtesies the average can didate's remark is: I'm certainly go ing to dig hard for that commission" That's the effect of contact with ef- ficiency. The cadet sees the result of hard study and Is inspired to herculean efforts for a like reward which Is to be his for the trying.

COAL MEN UNDECIDED

Washington, August 29.-Directors of the National Coal association, meet | ing here to discuss government con- trol of their industry, were unable to- day to agree as to whether they will accept without protest the scale of prices fixed for their product by Pres ident Wilson.
 Two distinct factions, it was learned have developed in the association-one willing to accept the situation and the other anxious to fight the government in the courts. The operators who are ready to sell at the prices named are among the larger producers and those who are showing opposition are representing largely owners of small mines. whose costs of production are high.
 CLAIMS OF TWO FACTIONS
 The operators counselling acceptance Of the governments fixed price argue that they are helpless because of the provision in the food control bill giving the Presi- dent power to take over and operate the mines if producers fall to comply with the price regulations. The others, how ever, point to the provision of the bill re- quiring the government to name just prices and declared the scale fixed will drive many producers out of business.
 When today's meeting adjourned it was announced that the operators probably would have a definite announcement to make sometime tomorrow and they would make their position clear. Those who believe it unwise to test the law hoped tonight to bring the opposition around to their way of thinking.
 PROBABLE SUGGESTION
 The possibility that the operators will suggest a change in the government $ programme to provide for selling pools by districts was heard again today. Ad- vocates of this arrangement declare it would not raise to an appreciable extent the prices named by the President but would assure every producer a fair and equitable margin of profit.
 Alabama bituminous operators submit ted to the federal trade commission the cost of production figures purporting to show they will sell coal at loss under the price scale just fixed. They asked for at least an increase of 50 cents ton over the prices allowed producers in Alabama

Children Being Enlisted to Aid
 Food Factories

LONDON, Nov. 9-For the first time in the conduct of the war. according to the National Food Journal. the of ficial organ of the Ministry of Food, the children of Britain are being fully enlisted as an aid to victory. The of ficials have found, the Journal adds, that the children or the elementary school show acute mental receptivity concerning questions of food shortage, and are full of heroic resolve" to avoid waste-''which is all that is at present required of them"
 Representatives of the Ministry of Fcod have been addressing the chil- dren in the schools. telling them in simple and direct language that the Food Controllers demand for economy is directed to them as much as to the older people. The children are encour- aged to eat all they desire but to avoid wastefulness wherever possible.
 The children are asked to take notes during the lectures, and the two best essays on the food situation, written respectively by a boy and a girl. are forwarded to the Ministry of Food to be read. The stamp of the Ministry is placed on each essay. a few words of appreciation written thereon, and they are returned to the writers.
