DEBS IN WRONG
AGAIN WITH
UL-TIMED TALK

Toledo, Ohio, nov. 29.-Federal au-
thorities today sent to the department
of justice at Washington a copy of a
speech delivered by Eugene ". Debs at
a Socialist meeting here on Wednesday
night, suspecting that De5s violated
terms of the espionage law when he as
serted that 1.-The con mon people Of the
United States did not declare war and
that "all wars are wrong" Local fol-
lowers of Debs take the stand that with
the signing of the armistice the war
came to an end and that the speech
could not be construed as interfering
wit the military program of the coun-
try. Federal authorities are working
on the theory that the speech was made
to create the impression in foreign
countries that the United States gov
eminent did not have the united support
of the people in it's war program.

All Soft Coal
Restrictions Soon
To Be Removed

Washington. Nov. 2o.-Prce re-
strictions on bituminous coal may be
removed by the fuel administration
within two weeks. Fuel Administra-
tor Garfield said today he hoped to
cancel the price regulations not later
than the middle of December.
Present prices as fixed by the Fuel
Administration range from $2.75 to
$495 ton at the mines. DR.. Garfield
said it might be possible to abandon
the zone system of distribution of
bituminous coal by the middle of
December, but that action to this end
would be taken only after consulta-
ton with the railroad administration.
The fuel administrator said he
could not take his hands off, the
anthracite situation until winter was
over. This Was taken to mean that the
government would continue its con-
troll over anthracite coal until the end
of the coal year, April /. and that the
fuel administration would continue to
function until that time.

SURPRISE EXPRESSED
AT NAMING OF BLISS
ON. l.. S. DELEGATION

Washington, Novs 29-The repre-
sentatjvcs Of the United States at the
peace conference will be: President
wilson. Robert Lansing, secretary Of
state; Henry White, former ambas-
sador to France and Italy; Col. E. NJ.
House; Gen. Tasker II. Bliss, repro
sentative Of the American army with
the supreme war council at Yer
sailles. This announcement was made
tonight at the White House. In the
absence Of any official explanation it
was assumed that the President goes
as President of the United States
and that Secretary Lansing. Mr.
White and Col. House and possibly
General Bliss will be delegates with
ambassadorial rank
1t was recalled that the Presidents
announcement that he would go to
France for the purpose of taking
part in the discussion and settlement
fthe main features Of the treaty Of
peace said that it was not likely that
he could remain throughout the ses-
sions Of the peace conference and
that he would be accompanied by
delegates who will sit as the repre-
sentatives Of the United States
throughout the conference"
White House officials would add
nothing TO the formal statement, and
no one processing to be IN the conf
dence of the President would talk.
There was only one surprise in the
statement, the appearance Of the
name Of Gen. Bliss as one of the
representatives. It had been taken
for granted that the general military
representatives Of the United States
on the supreme war council would
take part in the discussions at YER
sailles, but the general idea had been
he would be attached TO the delega-
ton in a military capacity just as

present as spokesman for the navy
in the great naval problems to be

the White House gained the distinct
impression that there would be but
three delegates Of full rank. 1t was
suggested tonight that the name Of
Gen. Bliss probably was added at the
last moment upon receipt OF infor-
nation that the allied powers would
include military man among their
representation.
