COAL DISTRIBUTION
COUNCIL SUGGESTS
A PLAN FOR RELIEF

Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov. 15.-State
fuel administrators of Wisconsin,
North and South Dakota and Mime.
sofa met here today and discussed
plans for distribution of coal in the
northwest.
1t was decided to have communities
unable to obtain coal from Lake Michi-
gan and Lake Superior ports submit a
report to their respective state fuel
administrators. These requests will
be turned over to W. H. Groverman,
secretary of the Northwest Coal Dock
Operators association, and the COM
panies holding up the orders will be
required to make immediate shipment.
In case of car shortage the fuel adj
ministration will communicate with
railroad companies and procure the
necessary carriers. ..-.
Under the operation of the priority
coal shipment order of the federal
fuel administration, the amount Of
coal on docks at the head of the lakes
has trlpled since Aug. 1, it was said.

VALLEY BLAZING INFERNO.

Italian Army Headquarters in North
ern Italy, Wednesday, Nov 16.-Un-
der the escort of a staff officer from
headquarters the correspondent today
made a tour along 80 miles of the
Piaye battlefront while a terrific artil-
lery fire was in progress on both
banks of the river and the whole or
dinarily peaceful valley was trans
formed into a blazing inferno.
From a suitable observation point
the view led across the river to the
positions occupied by General Won
Euelow's German troops, who had oc-
cupied the town of Vidor, over which
hung a huge German balloon. Further
along could be plainly seen the two
opposing lines running along the east
and west banks<of the river.
An abandoned warehouse on the
bank of the Piave river further down
afforded a view of massive bridge
with the two middle spans blown up
and of the great pail Of smoke hang
ing over Zenson and the Island OF
Grave, where the enemy had crossed
the river, but were still held back on
the rivers edge by the fierce counter
attacks of the Italians.
All along the lower stretch of the
river the bonlbardment was continu-
Gus.
The Italian lines were holding we'll
at all points and everything indicated
the thoroughness Of the concentration
that had been effected by the army
along the new lines.
In the new trenches along the river
bank and among the columns advanc-
ing along the roads the men displayed
the best of spirits and evidenced their
determination in the desperate strug'
gle for the holding of this Piave line,
which is now reaching its climax.

HOW Trenches Are DUO.

Each man in an officers training
camp is given an intrenching shovel,
about the size of q big tablespoon, and
small pick. He is expected to dig his
trench with those small tools. Each
man must start lying fiat on his
stomach and dig himself into the
ground. In about two hours an entire
system of trenches, beginning with the
skirmishers' trench, and ending with
the reserve trench, is finished, together
with the parapets in front to protect
the men from the front to protect the
men from the enemy's fire, and the
paradoes behind to keep out pieces of
bursting shell. After the men have
dug their trenches down so they are
out Of range they sometimes get a
shovel a little larger than their in
trenching tool. That helps consider
ably, for the intrenching tool takes out
about quart of earth with each move
ment. Each man carries his intrench-
ing tools on his back.

a Vermont Genius.

New England, if we may accept the
testimony of the Harwick (Vermont)
Gazette, will not let itself be outdone
by ancient Greece. Zeuxis, who paint
ed grapes so naturally that the birds
came to peck at them, has his worthy
rival in Timothy Tripe, Bellows Falls
sign painter.
Tripe completed mail-order course
in sign painting a few days ago, and to
show his skill, and incidentally to get
little free advertising. he painted a
board fence on the side Of a barn that
faced on the main street. 1t was a
success artistically, but 1t got Tripe in
TO trouble.
1t looked so natural that several
farmers skinned their knuckles trying
to hitch their teams to 1t, and num-
berless English sparrows wore them
selves out trying to alight on it. They
would slip down the side of the barn,
hit the ground, assume a worried ex-
preston, and fly away.
The climax came recently. Tripe
has vicious bulldog, named Francis
Y. Bushman. The dog chased book
agent down the street. The stranger,
in trying to get away, attempted to
jump the fence, and drove his head in
to the barn. He recovered sufficiently
to consult lawyer, and lawsuit may
result.-Youth's Companion.

SHIPS AND PLANES.

Charles Nicholson, the Washington
correspondent of the Chicago Herald,
says there is a direct connection be-
tween the reports of the nine army
officers who have returned to Amer
lea after having trsyersed the battle
line from the channel ports to the
Swiss border and the appeal to Con-
gress for another $5.0O0.o00.000 of
war funds.
These officers reported that If the
deadlock OF the western front is TO
be broken it viii not be by the addi-
ton OF 100 900 or 100000 men to the
allied forces. Germany is rushing an
air program to meet ours by next
year and Nicholson knows that I'M
less we prosecute our building and
shipping OF planes az top speed with
out debates about designs and
mechanical accuracy both as TO price
and model, we will be scrambling to
meet German air superiority instead
az having the certain ascendancy We
so confidently expect. hence the ne

WILL CONGRESS PLEASE

Congress should be given TO under

Congress perhaps might be excused

NOT ALL HEROES AT FRONT
Manus Duggan, Twenty-year-old
Irish Lad, Saves Is Miners, but
Loses His Own Life

Not all the deeds of bravery are in
the war zone. When fire in the
Spectator mine, near Butte. Mont, en-
tombed several hundred men and
brought death TO 145 others, twenty
year-old Irish lad named Manus Dug
gan, known as .snipper boy" or tool
boy, saved % miners by his GOODNESS
and self-sacrifice. But he paid for de-
yotion to duty with his life. His body
was taken from the mine five days
later.
When the first fash of flames, smoke
and deadly gas cut of all retreat from
the mine, Duggan was caught with a
number of companions In distant tun-
mel. Reared in the mines at Butte,
he knew every nook and turn in the
underground workings. He guided a
party of miners through the tunnels to
spot comparatively free from gas
and fire. There he constructed a tenn
porary bulwarIS He had few timbers
at hand, and principally put off the
| fires approach by building a wall OF
dirt. rocks and clothing taken from his
companions and the bodies of those
who already had fallen victims to the
fire. AS fast as one temporary wall
was thus constructed, he fell back with
his charges and built another. he
finally directed the party to a point
where their rescue was effected by
miners from above. Whether the boy
turned back to seek others or was
overcome while building his last de-
Tense against the rapidly approaching
flames and gas. no one seems to know.
But he died at his post and his body
was buried among the victims of the
grim tragedy.
But what he die will never perish
from the memory OF % men who owe
their lives to the ''nipper boy" Manus
Duggan.
