LONDON, Oct. 6.-Panic and internal
disorganization are spreading in Turkey
and Austria. due to the military situa-
ton and TO Bulgaras surrender.
A Zurich despatch reports grave oc-
currences in Constantinople. Every
day there are violent demonstrations in
the streets against the military chiefs
of Germany and against continuing the
war. Vienna is also threatened with
disorders and there IL undoubted appre-
hension OF a revolution"
A despatch from Vienna reports that
changes are contemplated in the Ger
man high command. while rumors that
Gen. Ludendorff is to be depo,ed are
again current.
Evidence accumulates that the Ger
mans contemplate an early evacuation
Of Belgium. All military documents
have been removed from the Lille dis
trict, and everything portable has been
taken out OF the country east OF the
Hindenburg line. All boats on the
Scheldt have been taken over lately for
the transport OF ammunition and war
supplies eastward through Belgium.
What is significant about this Is that

Copyright. 1918; all rights reserved.

LONDON. Oct 6.-The coal shortage
has caused Ritsh manufacturers to
consider the possibility of using coal
dust and nina screenings for power
purposes The demand for these fuels
is now considerably in excess of the
supply, which condition is responsible
for the second largest deal in the history
OF the South Wales coal fields.
Dr. Llewellyn of Abermare purchased
the Craigola Merthyr company Of Swan
sea. which owns the collieries in the
Swansea Valley, covering 5000 acres
and having an annual output of 100000
tons: also the PAINT fuel works of
Swansea. with an output OF more than a
million tons a year.
The purchaser. who gave $4,000. 900
for the properties, intends to expand the
patent fuel factories, and hopes to solve
the problem OF using all the fine coal
which hitherto has been discarded or
used to NIL old passages in the mines.

strength, and the completeness of their
victory was attested by mounds and
heaps Of captured material, concrete pill

to forts, which had been stormed; tiny
woods which had been converted into
machine gun nests and were overcome
only by the utmost OF daring, and great
thiclsnesses Of bsrbed wire.
The roads had been destroyed or torn
into great gaping holes by mines ex-
ploded by the retiring Germans. The
field for miles on either side of the main
advance was shell marked as few
places in France have been so marked
with cSaters. which overlapped each

pAss, Oct. Elm Frances decision
to punish the Germans for their nu-
merous crimes Is seen the elimination Of
many months Of campaigning on the
part Of the newspapers for adequate re-
prisals.
In the early days of burning and pill
laying villages a cry went up to the
Government to take steps to prevent
repetltions by threatening retaliation.
No action was taken, and then followed
the ruthless air raids and the long
range bonbardment Of Paris by the Ger
man supergun. In the enemys recent
retreats he has demonstrated unmistak-
ably his decision TO leave nothing but
ruins behind him.
The Governments recent note was
universally approved. Besides the ON
clal note warning the Berlin Govern
ment that further crimes will be pun
ished the Government issued another
last night. stating II had been learned
that the. German Government had
ordered the sale of all valuables found
in the houses of French citizens who
formerly lived in Germany.
At Colmar. Alsace, a syndicate was
formed to buy such furniture. Such
acts are in opposition to declarations
made by the German Government and
against German LAWS. The French
therefore have protested through the
Spanish Government to put an end to
such acts.

WAsIirNoToN Oct. Coal produce

Leasher OF the Geological Survey to-
day. The output was/ 100000 tons
of soft coal and 2,07l.000 net tons OF
hard coal. At the same time the grow
ing demand for coal in war production
more than exceeded the increase in ton
mage from the mines.
The production of bitundnous coal
since April amounts to 31l,216, 900
tons, which Is IL per cent. greater than
the production in the corresponding
period Nof 1917. This output. however
falls short OF the estimated needs OF

OF the younger generations, and his
studies have impressed upon him the
value Of mutual knowledge between the
youth Of France and America" Ac-
cordlngly he begins with what he calls
a portrait of the young Frenchman at
the outbreak Of the war and then gives
the main results of his investigating
work in this country He holds that the
two characteristic virtues of America
are chivalry and intuition. and that 1t

introduces to his readers several French
