Abraham Lincoln the savior of the Union and the greatest leader people that has arisen in mod ern times completes trinity of American statesmen whose word was gospel And Lincoln gave clearer presson his belief in conscrption, in time of national need either of his predecessors He wrote in his Address to the American People," in the most critical period of the civil war:

 ''Wheren is the peculiar hardship now? Shall we shrink the necessary to maintain our free government which grandfathers employed to estab fish it and our own fathers already employed to maintain it?
 ."Are we degenerate? Has the manhood of the run out?"
 Every word of that appeal applicable today. And if Lincoln were among us now, who doubt that he would have made still stronger and emphasized the fact that there is no democratic equality in time except through equal responsibility of all citizens for service?

SECRETARY BAKER REPUDIATES
COAL PRICE PACT.
Defense Council Head Declares $3 is
Exorbitant-DanieIs to Buy at
$2.33 at Mines.

Gil of National Defense, repudiated
Saturday an agreement fixing tenta-
tive price of SO ton for bituminous
coal reached at a conference here
Thursday between coal producers. Sec
retary Lane, a member of the Defense
Council, members of the councils coal
preparation committee. and the Fed
eral Trade Commission.
Neither the council nor its commit
tees. Secretary Baker said in letter
to W. S. Clifford of the council, has
power to fix prices. He added that
the price of SO at the mines suggested
for bituminous coal is "exorbitant, un-
just and oppressive"
Secretary Daniels, another member
of the council, earlier in the day said

coal purchases for the navy. The navy.
he said. will continue to buy from the
mines at $2.33 ton, leaving a price
to be determined after the Federal
Trade Commission has ascertained
production costs.
In his letter to Mr.. Clifford, Mr..
Baker asserted that he believed no
members of the Defense Council dis
agree with him as to the limitations
on the powers of the council and its
committees and as to the effect of
the action taken. The fact that the
conferences We're attended by mem
bers of the council and of the trade
-commission. he declared. gave no le-
gality to the agreement.
The price-fixing agreement was
reached after 400 operators called
here by the coal production committee
had adopted resolutions authorizing
their committees to give assent to
such maximum bituminous prices as
might be named by the secretary of
the interior, the Federal Trade Com
mission and the coal committee.

are being rushed here and with bay

Through the smoking ruins the khaki

the total dead will never be known,
but 1t may reach $50 and might even
go higher.
The hospitals are crowded with shot
and burned negroes. Negro women

One white man was killed by ne

were killed. This includes the detec-

run up to $50 and higher, but these
estimates are purely conjectural. The
