Germans Force Polish
Laborers and Women
Into Sen1i-Slavery

Copenhagen, Nov. 15.--The conditions
of semi slavery in which Polish labor
ers in Germany are living is Illustrated
by an advertisement appearing In a
recent issue of the Deutsche RACES
Zeiturg, offering TO exchange fifty
Polish laborers, twenty men and thirty
girls. for the same number OF hands.
One of the first acts of the newly form
ed Polish council of regency was to
submit demand for the better treat
ment of Polish workers, including
those caught in Germany by the out
break of the war. or those coaxed or
forced to leave Russian Poland after
its occupation and to accept service IN
Germany.
The laborers are not permitted to
change masters nor to move from place
to place without a special government
authorization.
Apparently well authenticated re-
ports tell of the deception Of those re-
cru:te6 in Poland. both regarding wages
and the nature of enjoyment. A recent

the forcible deportation of laborers
from Poland. H

ADMITS U.BoAT FAILURE.
People Arc Awakening to Error in
Forecast, Critic Asserts.

Washington, Nov. 10 Germany's
submarine warfare is a failure, accord
ing to sensational article published
in the Berliner Tageblatt, by Captain
Persius. This information was received
by the United State radio service from
tho French station at Lyons and made
public here today. The message Says:
Captain Persius publishes in tho
Berliner Tageblatt an article in which,
after having confessed that the Ger
man people are beginning to have their
doubts in the results Of piracy without
mercy, he himself recognizes that the
German admiralty was grossly mis-
taken In It's calculations. and that in
Germany today credence Is no longer
given to the decisive influence of the
submarine war. as was the case last
February, when the most optimistic
forecast was published.
Captain Persius will not permit Of
supposing that the supply OF foodstuffs
in Great Britain will be threatened by
the submarine warfare before the Sec
.ond half Of the year 1918.

COAL OUTPUT FAR BEHIND.
Must Make Up Deficit Of $4,000, 900
Tons 70 Carry War,

Washington, Nov. 15.- Consumption
of coal in the United States and the
demand exceed estimated production
by approximately 5o.0o0.000 tons. and
this gap must be bridged by increased
production and conservation.
This declaration was made by Fuel
Administrators Garfield today as q re-
suit OF survey of the entire coal sit
uation just completed.
1.-THE survey demonstrates" Mr.. Gar
field said, that the war needs Of the
nation for fuel have developed to a
point where the demand threatens to
outstrip the supply.
Thru the efforts Of the fuel adminis-
tration and other agencies. the annual
output of coal has been increased by
approximately 50.000,o00 tons. But the
consumption Of coal, it is estimated.
has INCREASED by approximately 100,-
600. .o00'tons leaving gap Of 50,00o,000
tons to be bridged.
"Practically the entire increase in
coal consumption is due to the neces-
stiles Of war. The direct demands of
the government for coal. including the
requirements for the actual fighting
forces of the army and navy, have in
creased Dy 6UU per cent. where I,VOU,-
900 tons supplies the government un-
der normal conditions, the government
demand is now 100000 tons.
ITO close up the gap Of 50.000,000
tons between the production and con-
sumption OF coal. the fuel administra-
ton will take steps to increase pro-
duction, facilitate transportation, and
enforce the most economical use of the
available coal supply. The fuel admin
istration Is determined that war indus
tries, public utilities and domestic con-
sumers shall be supplied. To this end
the cooperation Of every coal user in
the country will be necessary. The
fuel administration will use all of it's
authority to prevent the waste Of fuel
or the unnecessary use Of fuel. Do
nestle consumers will be urged to con-
serve their supplies.
wherever the unnecessary use of
coal In industry threatens to embar-
rass war industry the fuel administra-
ton will see that the war needs are
filed" {.
