Secretary OF War Baker agrees
with him as do Secretary of the
Navy Daniels and Attorney General
Gregory.
Opposed 10 the president are
Franklin X. Lane. secretary OF tho
interior. and the big coal operators
who make up the coal committee
of the advisory council OF national

headed by F. s. Peabody.
Added to this opposition is n
group OF powerful railroad bank
ers. headed by what is known as
the "steel trust crowd" who con-
troll the railroad facilities, includ-
ing coal cars needed to carry on
the coal industry.
These patriots are not averse TO
taking a famine price for coal. even

Es-Gov. Fort OF New Jersey,

Lane.
Fort sat in on their conference"
at which Il was agreed that a price

new RUSSIA IS
SOUND At CORE,
SAYS CEN. SCOTT
By William C. Shepherd


United Prs~s STAFF Correspondent
PETROGRAD. July H.
Tell Americans we have
found the heart OF Russia
sound: we have found the
army's heart sound at the
core. / believe in New Rus
sia. She will fight desperate
ly to help us conquer Ger
many"
The words are those OF Maj.
Gen. Hugh l.. Scott, of the
American commission to Rus
sia. He spoke them to the
United Press correspondent
today as message to be sent
back home" now that the
American mission has con-
cluded its visit to the newest
republic.
Cen. Scott was the happest
member OF the commission today
with announcement Of the Russian
victory at HalicZ. He felt he had
proved a good mascot to the Rus
sian troops.
Exhibiting his pleasure in every
gesture and word. the American
army chief OF staff explained to-
day how Minister OF Foreign AZ
fairs Tereschenko. in bidding him
farewell. had notified Scott that
the Russian troops on the Halicz
line had selected him their mascot.
scotts Predictions True
"The drive started by Gen.
Brusiloff substantiates my predic-
tlons that the Russians would fight
vallantly." Gen. Scott asserted. I'm
ten days they have taken as pris-
oners a third as many as the Brit
lsh and French have taken In
three months Also. they have
broken the enemy's lines. Remem-
ber this ia the first enemy line
broken in a long time.
"The Russians have repeatedly
gotten behind the Austrians' cav
airy. They are now advancing
rapidly.
The whole thing now depends
IN how strongly and effectively the
great Russian offensive breaks the
enemy up. Heavy pressure on the
breach line must be constant and
increasing"
Former Senator Roots final
word from Petrograd to his fellow
citizens was:
"Whoop 'Er Up," Says Root
"Americsns-whoop 'er up for
Russia,"
Chas. Edward Russells conclud-
ing speech was before group OF
intellectual socialists headed by
PlekhanOff He urged unremitting
war activity and was roundly
cheered. the only man not applaud
ing being n certain American pacf-
fist socialist now here. All oppo-
sition to the war has subsided
here and apparently thruout Rus
sia.
Even Nicholai Lenine. the pro
German peace enthusiast, has
quieted down completely.

Reeistered men In this state

war with the select service

ment figures received here
Thursday. The ratio of men

mated the ratio becomes about

Crowd Lobby
Hundreds of men Thursday
crowded about the desks in the
south lobby of the county-city
building in an effort to learn their
draft numbers. Services of several
special clerks from local boards
and police officers were necessary
to speed up the work of locating
the numbers for the men.

Under the proposed plan the
government would become, for the
moment. the owner of all coal as II
came from the mine The govern
ment would not attempt to operate
mines or distribute coal. But being
the sole owner of all coal. the gov
crnment would be in position to
curb coal speculation and to insist
that the coal go whore needed.
"The plan contemplates using
the same distributing agencies that
always have done the work the
railroad. the wholesaler. and the
retailer.
Everybody woulu be paid cost
plus reasonable profit for his

But the government would be
able to follow every ton of coal

the board. who announced receipt
OF the order indicated by his man
ner that IL was a victory for the
wooden ship program.
Gen. Goethals had hoped to be
designated sole authority over the
spending OF the money, but he was
generally regarded as opposed TO a
large wooden fleet.
ooethals Began Fight
Goethals threw a bomb into ship
building affairs when. after the
plan OF constructing 1000 wooden
vessels had virtually been accept
ed by the nation, he declared at a
public gathering that the birds are
still nesting in the trees" from
which the necessary wood would
have to come, and denounced the
plan as impractical.
Ever since then there has been
almost continual warfare between
Goethals an dChairman Denman.
The latter kicked at Goethals con-
tractin igor steel at s95 a ton at the
same time that the navy was able
TO purchase IL for considerably less.
Means Many Wooden Ships
Goethals dismissed two volunteer
assistants from service because
they publicly charged that he was
putting the safety OF the nation in
jeopardy thru his opposition to the
wooden ship program.
Victory OF the wood ship plan
does not mean the elimination OF
steel vessels. II simply means that
in the immediate emergency. which
calls for the rapid construction of
vessels. as many wooden ships will
be built as possible.

a "mere scrap OF paper?
For several years, the company has 50 regarded
il whenever il wanted to wrggle out OF obligations TO
the public. Whenever the city, however, wanted
change in franchise terms, it horse of different
color.
For several years the company has refused to pay
per cent of its gross receipts to the cityin direct
violation of its franchise For several years, it has re-
fused to pay the city its share of paving costs.
Its defiance of its written agreement has been moth
ing short of anarchiSic disregard for rights and obiga-
tonS.
And now, spurred on no doubt by the
success of its anarchy, the traction company
seeks to wriggle out of another franchise
provision. After August IL, it proposes to
abolish car tickets and four-cent fares.
Other cities, explains President Leonard, have
extra for all transfers.
What cities, pray? Where is the 6-cent fare in
operation?
1--WE have increased the wages of our men,"
Leonard says And the costs of material have gone up
"on account of the war"
Increased the wages of underpaid $6O-a-month
trainmen Is to 20 cents a day
The public has been tolerant with the traction COM
pany. The people have, in the main, overlooked its
grudgng service, and its anarchsc defiance of rule
and order and contracts and law
But patience now is at the breaking point
The elimination of car tickets is but the forerun-
of other raids the public. 1t probably will mean
an ultimate attempt at the abolition OF transfers on many
lines. 1t may mean higher fares. And these changes
mean sitting of Seattle'S expansion
For many years the company has been slow To-
extend its service in outlying districts. The changes
contemplated in carareS would make il absolutely
impossible to develop new communities II would tend
in time, to make Seattle city of congested residence
districts, something the city has always carefully
Stunned.
Because of this situation, the public service COM
mission must not delay.
1t already has before it the companyS petition to-
be relieved from the gross receipt and paving payments
II has had this petition for long time-and has not
acted on it.
In the meantime, the company has been doing as
il peaseS.
Let not the be true of the car ticket petition
Seattle is entitled to know whether it is
to be ruled by the anarchistic whims of the
