INCREASE SHOWN IN
 COAL PRODUCTION
Shortage of Domestic Coal Indicated-Steam Coal
 Equals Demand

Considerable improvement in coal was noted last week when the output increased 29,503 tons over the preced- ing week. For the week ending No vemher 23, reports to District Repre-. sentative E. A Holmes, of the fuel administration show the output to have been 35S,693 tons, compared with 329,- 190 tons for the week ending Novem- Der -16.
 Influenza is interfering with opera tions in the Cahaba field, and at one or two of the larger mines in Walker county, which were comparatively free of the epidemic when 1t was at it's worst in Birmingham and the balance of the district back in October, and the early part of November. Though more cases are reported in these sec tions the disease seems to be of a very much milder type as the death ratio is much smaller.
 There is shortage in domestic coal in the Birmingham zone at present. and it promises to be acute by mid- winter unless production increases. Tho steam coal situation. however, is caus- ing no uneasiness, the production prac- tically equalling the demand.
 The tonnage for 1918 is not going to be as great as in 1917, the output to December i showing a loss of between 100000 and 100000 tons, compared with the corresponding period of 1917 From July to November 23, cov- cred in reports to the fuel admins tration representative, the output was 7,682,452 tons, or an average of 384,12 tons for each of the 20 weeks. This average maintained to the end of De- cember would give total of approx innate 10,000,000 tons for the last half of the year. The loss during the first six months exceeded 100000 tons, compared with the first six months of 1917, so that the indications are that the years output will fall more than 100000 short of 1917 production.

In these days of the nude chorus the brisk, slangy comedian who reeks of Broadway and the bright light re- sorts and all the other appurtenances of the modern farce comedy which usually has troops of girls and music to help it out, play like .'Charleys Aunt" lacks a wide appeal.

In Raw Weather of Novem- Der Morning Augusta Vic toria Shudders as She
 Reaches Maarsbergen

Maarsbergen, Holland, Thursday. No- vember 2S.-(By the Associated Press) Tn the raw, misty weather of No- vember morning Frau Augusta Victoria, wife of the once German Emperor, ar rived here today from Potsdam to join her husband in exile in Amerongen castle.
 Maarsbergen is the station before Maaru, where William Hohenzollern ar rived 16 days ago. It is about equal distance between Maaru and the castle. Arriving here, the former Empress was handed over to Count Won Bentinck. the host of the former Emperor, by the cap tain of the rural gendarmerie, who, act ing under orders, had escorted her from Zevenaar, the first Dutch frontier sta tion. to her destination.
 Augusta Victorias looks belle the ru- mors of severe mental and physical pros- tration She put on brave attempt at a smile when she arrived here, but the drawn corners of her mouth betrayed the effects of her recent trials. Also she shuddered a little in encountering the raw air outside her car.

 The former Empress wore a plain dark tailor-made velvet dress and a hat and veil which offset her abundance of silver hair.
 The train will return to Germany this evening with Count Platen, Major Hirsh- field and Count Won Moltke, of the for mer Emperor's immediate entourage, whose baggage includes many untidy cardboard boxes, which are piled upon the station. There was no official re- ception or demonstration of any kind when the ex-kaiserine arrived.
 After the arrival of Augusta Victoria at Maarsbergen the next train to stop was crowded with Scottish soldiers on their way home from captivity in Ger many.

MAKING A STUDY
 OF RAW MATERIALS

London, October 31.-The after-war business problem receiving the most im- portant attention at present in England is that of the control of raw materials and shipping, says a statement issued by the American Chamber of Commerce in London. It adds: Detailed studies of sources and methods of control and distribution are being made, but there does not yet appear to be agreement on the general principles of control. On the one hand powerful interests are urg- ing immediate cooperation between Great Britain, France and the United States, for the formation of a world-control which will, at the appropriate time, be able to distribute raw materials as seems best. On the other hand some are point ing out that such action would, In prin- ciple, be contrary to President Wilson s policy of no economic combination within the league of nations
 "World arrangements are already be- ing made with the sanction and even the assistance of the British government in regard to oil and metals. while ship ping plans change or develop daily. The American Chamber of Commerce in Lon don has urged commercial bodies in America to consider the entire subject

WITNESSES TELL WHY MUNICIPAL
 YARDS OPPOSED
New York Fuel Administra- tor Says City Coal Yards Would Interfere With
 Equitable Distribution

Washington, November 29.-Witnesses mittee today told why the fuel admin istration opposed Mayor Hylan's plan for municipal coal yards in New York city this winter and of difficulties surround ing increased production of anthracite through the opening of new mines or those not now being worked
 Delos w. Cook, New York fuel ad- ministrator. testified that Mayor Fly lan's proposal for municipal coal yards would seriously interfere with the ad- ministratlon's plans for an equitable dis tribution of coal in New York, because it called for the storing of 100000 tons of domestic coal in different parts of the city, thus taking that amount of coal from the general allotment for the entire population. The witness said he proposed to see that the poor people of New York get an adequate supply of coal this winter even if other residents have to do without 1t. He said his plan for an equitable distribution would work out satisfactorily, and added that he and Mayor Hylan are now in perfect &C., cord' on the question of distribution.
 INCREASES IMPOSSIBLE
 William Griffith of West Pittston, Pa, a. mining engineer told the committee that increase in anthracite production is practically impossible now because new mines must be run at loss for the first few years and capital will not seek that sort of an investment. There is no skilled labor available, he said to work either new mines or mines now unused.
 Replying to a question by Senator Ken. yon, Mir. Griffith said he did not be- lieve government operation of the mines would result in any increased output. Eighty-six per cent of the anthracite mines, he said, now are owned by three companies the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company, the Lehigh Val ley Coal company and the Wilkes Barre Coal company.
 The inquiry will be continued tomor- row, with President W. J. Richards of the Philadelphia and Reading company as one of the witnesses.

CHEMNITZ AUTHOR
 OF PLAN TO UNITE MEXICO AND JAPAN
Persuaded Zimmerman to Make Prop osition to Mexico Looking to
 War on United States

Amsterdam, October 17.-(Correspond- ence of the Associated Press. s.)-The Ger man plot to melted Mexico and Japan to war against the United States origi- mated with Herr Won Chennitz, who bore the title of legation counselor, and was employed in a subordinate capacity in the German foreign office, it is now asserted. This is disclosed by Professor Bonn, rector of the Commercial academy at Munich, Bavaria, according to the Munich Neueste Nachrichten.
 ssVon Chemnitz," says the Munich newspaper imagined himself an author ity on Latin-American affairs, and sug- gested the scheme to Dr. Albert Zim- mermann, then German secretary for for eign affairs. Zimmerman discussed it with other foreign office officials, but they thought it unfeasible.
 Zimmerman kept the matter in mind. Presently Won Chemnitz came and told him that in the next few days an eSpe- cially reliable messenger would leave for Mexico, to whom the message could safe ly be entrusted, and that it was mat ter of now or never.
 Zimmerman allowed himself to be overpersuaded and so the fatal step was taken"
 
 Jr Albert Zimmerman on January 19, 1917, directed the German minister. Von Eckhardt, at Mexico City, to pro- pose an alliance between Germany, Mex leo and Japan to take effect as soon as it was certain there would be war between the United States and Germany. The German minister was directed to urge President CarranZa of Mexico to ask Japan's adherence to this scheme. Zimmerman proposed that Mexico should 'reconquer the lost territory of New Mexico. Texas and Arizona
 The German plot was made public by the United States government in Feb ruary 1917, Its disclosure was one of the startling incidents which preceded Americas entrance into the war.
 Professor Moritz J. Bonn, director of the Commercial High School at Munich, was featuring In the United States on German history and defined German war aims in addresses delivered here before the United States became belligerent.
