CONTROLS FUEL OF NATION

Francis S. Peabody of Chicago,

been selected by the Council of Nation
al Defense as chairman of its sub
committee on coal. Mr.. Peabody will
assume supervision of the production,
distribution and consumption of coal
throughout the country. For the pres

He will see that no producer holds
back a needed supply, that the rail
ways carry coal promptly to yiSSl
points and that no consumer uses more
than the situation justifes. In a sense
he will be the nations fuel controller.
The government is determined to
avoid a coal shortage that would not
only embarrass military operations, but
would cause suffering to the civilian
population. The needs of the allies
must also be considered. Already
every railroad in the country has been
ordered to give traffic preference to
coal and iron ore. Although the fedora

Ii was not hard for De Spain next
morning to find Duke Morgan. The
difficulty was to meet him without the
mob of hangers-on whose appetite had
been whetted with the prospect of a
death, and perhaps more than one, in
the meeting of men whose Supremacy
with the gun had never been success
fully disputed. 1t required all the
diplomacy of Lefever to pull off"

should not from the start be hopeless,
because % q crowd Of Dukes partisans
whose presence would egg him on, in
spite of everything, to a combat.

morning. De Spain having been con
