GERMAN AIRMEN INTERESTED
 IN AMERICAN cENTERs,
They Have Repeatedly Attempted to
 Bomb Their Buildings

With the American Army in France, Jan. 15-GBy The Associated Press. J.. Enemy air raiders are showing an in- creased interest in the American avia- rion centers, especially those nearest the lines. During one of the most recent incursions the German airplanes descended within 200 feet of the ground, endeavoring to make sure that the several bombs which they dropped should hit their targets, which in most cases were buildings in which men were bllleted. Luckily, the German aim even at such close range, was poor, for no Americans were killed.
 Another German machine which flew over the position later dropped a bomb from higher altitude at a hangar. The bomb missed it's mark, but dug a great hole in the adjoining field.
 At certain place near by an enemy squadron descended within 300 feet of the earth and sprayed an anti aircraft position with hail of bullets, but did not hit any of the gunners, all of whom were French. ~
 The Americans at the most advanced aviation camp have found a novel mounting for the machine guns used Tor defense against enemy airplanes. When the guns for the newly dug pits arrived it was discovered that only field carriages had been provided These were unsuitable for aircraft de- fense work, so swivels were construct ed from old motor truck springs. These | 'improvised mounts are said to be as good as any used.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Denial of coal supplies to the less essential industries for a period of a week or longer and railroad embargo against the shipment of non-e essentials are included in a plan under consideration today by government officials studying means of relieving the coal famine in the east.
 A proposal that President Wilson be asked to declare Monday legal holi- day in the eastern states for the next eight or ten weeks and that only in dustries supplying the public witn necessaries be permitted to operate on that day came to Fuel Administrator Garfield from meeting of fuel ad- ministration officials at New York.
 A general plan for dealing with the situation probably will be announcAd by pr. Garfield tomorrow after he has conferred with P. B. Moves, head of the fuel administrations conservation division, who attended the New York conference.
 Already pr. Garfield has prepared a preferential list for the guidance of fuel administration officials in dis tributing coal which directs that fuel supplies be apportioned in order to householders, to public utilities, ships transporting war supplies and war in- dustries. Consumers who do not come within these classes will be the ones whose supplies will be held up if dras- tic measures are attempted.
 It was believed tonight that Dr. Gar field would decide to shut down en- tirely the less essential industries fol a period rather than to ask, President

Wilson to declare Monday an indus trial holiday, because it would fit in better with the proposal that rail shipment be denied to the products of certain industries The rail embargo proposal was placed before Director General McAdoo today. It would stop the operation of many factories, but those which have coal supplies on hand could continue running until their reserves were exhausted.
 This plan, it is contended, would go far towards relieving railroad conges- ton and would give the roads an op- portunity to turn their efforts to nov ing coal Railroad officials believe it would be the best arrangement if put into force in connection with cutting off coal shipments to the less essential industries.
 Little hope was held out at the fuel administrations offices today of relief fop the middle west. Snowstorms have checked the movement of, coal trains and the situation is not likely to ina prove, it was said, until weather con- ditions are better.
 Reports to the fuel administration told of much suffering in Ohio, Michi- gan and Indiana cities. Many indus trial plants in many of these cities have shut down. Some of the mines in the middle west which ordinarily supply these towns have not moved coal cars for nearly a week. Mines in West Virginia which were ordered to
 give preferential shipment to Ohio and Michigan for ten days are shipping | 10000 tons of coal less a day than they I1Sually move. ~7tas&

BIENNIAL CONVENTION OF
 UNITED MINE WORKERS
Whole Hearted Support of the Gov
 ernment Expressed in Reports.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 15.-Whole- hearted support of the government in the war against the central powers and criticism of the federal courts for decisions adverse to the union, ex- pressed in the reports of officers, re- ceived the vigorous approval of the fifteen hundred delegates attending the biennial convention of the United Mine Workers of America which opened here today.
 There must be no halfway ale glance on the part of the coal miners in giving the best that is in them for the preservation of the ideals and principles of a democratic people," ex- claimed President Frank J. Hayes, in addressing the men. Tremendous ap- plause swept through the hall.
 'Iet us in this convention firmly resolve" he continued, that every atom of energy we can contribute to the winning of the war will be given gladly, freely and in the same loyal spirit as those who go out to give their lives. It is a matter of particu- lar pride that approximately 10000 members of our organization have en- listed in the military forces of our na- ton. Our hearts go with them across the sea, and we know that these be- roes of ours, who have faced the perils of the mines year in and year out rislxing their lives in the production l of coal, will not be found wanting when they face the foreign foe''
 l No less patriotic .were the declara-
 tions of William Green, secretary treasurer and a former state senator

FALSE REPORT OF TWO
 RAXS ON AM ICE Fl DE

New York, Jan. 15.-Adrift on an ice foe in the Hudson river, two small boys were seen frantically waving their arms, and their pitiful cries for help were heard by a passing steam CT. which was unable to rescue them so went report which attracted thou sands to the riverfront in upper New York today, called out fireboat, a hook and ladder company. police re- serves and women with blankets, hUt coffee and first aid kits.
 The report had every indication of being well founded, for, surely enough, two moving black objects that might well have been small boys were actu- ally to be seen on an ice foe that was being swept northward with the tide. The crowds watched anxiously while the fireboat steamed to the rescue, only to be turned back by ice. It seemed as if the lads were doomed, until Captain Brown of the fire de- partment took long squint at them through the marine glasses. "Stung!" exclaimed the captain. They're only a couple of loose cakes of frozen slush, damned upright and swaying in the wind.' The hot coffee was distributed to the ] f1remen.

Age Limit Is Not to Be Placed Above
 31 Years.

Washington, Jan. 15.-The govern ment has decided on draft registration of all young men as fast as they be- come twenty-one years old as the means of keeping filled the ranks of the war army. It has decided against the raising the draft age limit above thirty one years.
 An administration bill was intro duced today, at the request of the war department by Chairman Chamber lain of the senate military committee, to register for draft all men who have reached Fl since June 5, 1917, when the draft law became effective. The administrations support seems to as- sure it's prompt passage. The bill agrees with the recent recommenda- tions of Provost Marshal General Crowder.
 Other administration bills introduced today by Chairman Chamberlain, at the request of the war department, will supplement the draft law to make 1t workable under conditions that have developed. One would permit furlough- ing of national army troops for tar- vest work or other civilian duty. an- other would eliminate enemy alien population from basis of calculations for draft quotas. by making the basis for each state. the number of men available in class one

HARD WORK FOR GOVERNMENT

TRAINS ARE WITHDRAWN
The Worst General Snow Storm and lee Storm of Generation is Inn peding Traffic-onIy Coal and Food Are Kept Moving.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Against the worst general snow storm and ice storm of generation, the government railroad administration today strug- gled in an effort to open main travel routes and keep coal and food ship ments moving oyer the lines best able to handle them.
 Traffic Paralyzing Weather.
 The situation tonight was regarded as worse than at any time within the last week of traffic -paralyzinz wealth CT. On top of an accumulation of snow in the middle west, from biizzards of several days ago. came fresh snowfalls today. Snow blows went to work on the new drifts, while gangs of laborers. drawn from every occupation from which they could be spared. tackled yards and terminals already cleared once of snow within the week.
 Wires Down, Trains Withdrawn.
 Temperatures were rising in most sections tonight, but it was not warm enough to release cars frozen to sid ings or to thaw thousands of cars of coal caked in their. carriers. Telegraph and telephonic wires went down under weight of snow and ice and many pas senger trains whose schedules had been re- established yesterday, were withdrawn once again lest they meet the fate of scores of others stalled be- hind drifts.

PRINT PAPER CONTROL
 DEFEATED IN SENATE
Attacks Were Made on the Resolution
 by Members of Both Parties.

Washington, Jan. 15-After the de- feat in the senate of the resolution placing the print paper industry under federal control, Senator Smith of Ari- zona, who was in charge of the reso- lution. announced that he would con- tinue his efforts to have the message adopted. He said he would seek to have the house adopt and send to the senate a similar resolution in slightly changed form.
 During the final day of debate at- tacks were made on the resolution both by democratic and republican senators. Senator Knox termed it in- comprehensible and vicious in it's more loyalty to the government than the press, he said. adding @that as the newspapers seem to understand the viciousness of this bill, the more they are inclined to oppose it."
 Senators Harding and Hitchcock, both newspaper owners, also opposed the measure, the former declaring that it would only hinder the importation of pulp from Canada and embarrass the publishers.
 Senators King and Fernald argued that it was not war measure but a bill to turn private enterprises over to the government, while Senator Reed classified it as disgrace" to the senate and Senator Shoot asserted it would prove the greatest censorship ever imposed.
 On the final vote 27 democrats and five republicans supported the reso- lution and twelve democrats and 24 republicans opposed it.
 The federal trade commission is now preparing to fix news print paper prices under an agreement reached by
 the manufacturers with the commis.
 sion and the department of justice.
