RECORDS FALL IN
SHIPMENTS AND
MINING OF COAL
Last Month Shows Public
Requirements Will Be Full
filled Next Winter
BY Associdted Press


Philadelphia. July 1.-THE ship
ments of anthracite coal for June,
according to reports to the Anthra-
cite Bureau of Information, estab-
lished a new record, not only for that
month, but for any month in the
history of the industry, says an an
nouncement issued to-day by the
bureau. The announcement says:
Mine and washery operations
were both pushed to the limit per-
mitted by the supply of labor and OF
railroad cars and they responded by
record breaking tonnage of which
the railroad shipments amounted to
7,O44.O37 tons, an increase over the
preceding month (Which in turn had
been the maximum May record) of
131, ,512 tons. This is the first time
in the history of anthracite mining
that the shipments have exceeded
100000 tons.
Compared with June, 1915, the
shipments last month showed an in
crease of 1,412,062 tons, or 25 pei
cent The largest previous shipments
were made in March of this year
when the Quantity sent to mark Ell
was 6,9S9,075 tons. Total shipments
for the first six months of 1917 have
amounted to 37,667,09S tons. against
33,421, ,665 tons in 1916, and 32,32S,-
991 tons in 1915, the increase over
1916 being 4,245,42S tons or 12.7
per cent. and over 1915, 5,33S,102
tons or 16 per cent.
This record made in spite of a
pronounced shortage of labor, ex-
ceeds the most optimistic anticipa-
ton and more than keeps the prom
ise made by the operators to the Fed
eral Trade Commission that the pro-
duction in 1917 would be increased
over 1915. and that the public re-
quirements would be supplied"

of Meat Each Day
By associated Press

Washington, July Ito conserve
the nations meat supply, each per-
son in the United States is asked by
the food administration to cut down
by at least one ounce the amount
of meat eaten each day. Recent
studies, it is stated. show that the
average daily per capita consump-
ton Is nearly one-third of a pound
of beef and one-fifth of & ound of
pork. The adoption of this -.,r sestion
will, 1t is believed. relieve the de-
mands of the armies at home and

NO PEACE PROGRAM
Reichstag Members Differ on
How War Shall Be
Brought to Close
NO PEACE PROGRAM
By Associated Press

Copenhag gen, July 1.-THE debate
in tho Reichstag main committee
yesterday, according to reports re-
ccired here, was opened by DR.
Gustav Stresmann, National Liberal,
With a sharp attack on Chancellor
Won Bethmann-Ho -Hollweg's policy.
particularly that or foreign affairs,
which he characterized as being
based on no definite consistent pro-
gram The Chancellor retorted by
saying he was forced to look to all
sides for support because the Reich
stag offered him no stable majority.
Give him this and he would be able
to develop a consistent program, he
said.
The Vossische Zeitung adds that
the Chancellor expressed readiness
and willingness to carry through
necessary internal reforms.
Herr David. Socialist, painted a
picture of the difficult internal sit
uaticn in Germany. He declared the
existing dualism between the gov
ernment and the people must cease.
Thercofter the Chancellor again
briefly spoke before the committee
without reaching any decision.
Not For Conquest
Afternoon papers yesterday gen.
orally assumed that an agreement
of all parties except Conservatives
and Extreme Socialists had been
reached by a joint declaration to the
ReicEstag on peace terms and in
.ternal reforms. This, it is said,
would contain a reiteration of the
ChaHcellor's announcement of Au-
gust, 1914, that Germany's purpose
in M 1N,,t do
Tense and independence of terri
torial integrity, expressing a readi-
ness TO conclude peace on that basis
with provision rejecting all designs
aiming at an economic boycott and
continuance of international hostil-
ity after the war.
The declaration, according to re-
port, would also cover the formation
of coalition ministry with repre-
sentatives of all parties and imme-
date reform of the Prussian fran
chise.
Reject Peace Plan
TIE National Liberals, however,
at meeting in the evening, reject
ed the peace part OF the resolution,
and as the Centre had made their
attitude conditional on National Lib
eral assent the success of the move
ment is threatened. The radicals, on
he other hand. declined to concur
in that part of the resolution deal
ing with internal reform If this were
on condition, as the Nationals wish
ed. of DIR. Bethmann-H -Hollweg's re-
tirenent. The whole matter. there
fore. is in doubt again. One positive
fact elected by Herr Erzberger's s
declaration, is that he and other
mem hers of the main committee of
the Reichstag did not, in the course
of attacks on the admiralty and gov
ernnIont, suggest the abandonment
Of the submarine campaign.

the shovel weighs 101 tons (accord-

Level DefenseS

Level Defenses
The Germans succeeded IN ther
initial push by 1eveling the defenses
through an intense bombardnlent for
twenty -four hours and then attack
ing last evening over the devastated
ground. The bridges across the User
were destroyed by the heavy fire and
the sending up of achievements

tration OF 900 yards deep on Il front

terattack forced the Germans back
to their original positions.
First Recent Attempt
There have been no serious at
ternpts by the Germans TO break
through the British front t0 Belgium
since their two campaigns for Calais
in the early months of the war. The
first was checked along the Belgian
front by the combined British and
Belgian defense, aided by the par

along the coast. In the second battle

Germans sacrificed thousands of men

In the sensational campaign which
the revolutionary army of Russia is
waging in Galicia, the capture OF
Halicz, important though it is, is only
an incidental feature. Given secure
possession of it, the Russians have
the road to Lemberg well opened up
to them and continuation OF thelr
attacks on anything like the scale OF
the last ten days seems likely to re-
suit in the fall of the Galician cap
ital at no distant date.

In capturing Halicz the Russians
took more than thirty guns and nu-
merous prisoners. The Russians, ad-
