blooded massacres by Germans of
crews Of British North Sea conveys

wegian newspapers.

be British vessels, but at O'Clock,
when there was more light, they sud-
denly began shooting and the convoy
was terrified to see the British de-
stroyer at the stern of the convoy be-
gin to sink, although it fought to the
end. The German cruisers, after
signalling the vessels to stop, adj
vanced on each side Of the convoy
which they swept with all their guns
at a range of less than 200 yards.
The German destroyers came up
and helped to spread death and de-
structiOn on the defonSeleSs ships,
shells falling thick and fast. The Ger
mans were not content to sink the
ships. but shelled the life boats, and
every living thing coming their way
was mercileSsly slaughtered. The SUP
vivOrS owed their lives to the high
sea which was running. making the
boats difficult mark.
Tn the midst Of the massacre, an
other British destroyer came up and

COAL SMASHED.

Washington, August 2l.-Provis-
ionnl prices for bituminous coal at the
mines were fixed tonight by prcsi-
dent Wilson and ANNOUNCED IN u
statement snying measures would fol
low Ia control distribution and set
prices not only Mt the mines but in
the hands of the mildlcman and re-
tailcrs.
The statement follows:
The following scnlo oc prices is
prescribed for hitumnous coal ut the
minos, IN the several coal producing
districts. 1t Is provisional only. 1t
Is subject to reconsideration when
the whole method of administering
the fuel supply of the country shall
have been satisfactorily Organized,
and put into operation. Subsequent
measures will have as their object IL
fair and equitable control of the dis
trlhution of the supply and the
prices not only ut the mines but also
i'll the hands of the middlcmcn and
the retailers
The prices PROFESSIONALLY fixed
here are fixed ty tho authority UNI
der the provisions of the recent net
of congress regarding administration
of the food supply of the country,
which aleo conferred upon tho cxecu-
tive control of the fuel supply. They
are based upon tho actual cost of
production and nre deemed to be not
only fair and just but liberal as well.
Under them the industry nowhere
lacks stimulus.
The price outlined by the President
for Virginia and West Virginia is
ms follows:
Al mines: Run of mine, $500;
prepared sizes, $2.25; slack, SITE.
Prices were set out on cost of pro-
duction estimates furnished hy the
federal trade commission after many
months of exhaustive Investigation.
The country is divided into twenty
nine districts, and every producer in
q district will market his coal Mt the
same price.
The president named no agency to
carry out the provisions of his order
but is expected to appoint soon
coal administrators who will be given
entire control of the coal industry.
Rumor tonight named President ii.
A.. Garfield, of Williams College, as
the man. Mr.. Garfield now heads
committee named by the president To
fix government price on wheat
The prices named FOR run of mine
coal in the large producing districts
rage slightly more than So.
The plan adopted the officials adj
mitted tonight, will work hnrdships
on great many of the small mines,
and may force some of them to close
down. This, it is claimed, however,
will not reduce the total output of
coal, as miners released from the
small mines will go to the large ones
and more cars can be supplied to the
mines of large producing capacity.
