Mines Producing Coal Under Contract

Directed to Turn Output over
to State Administrators.

Washington, Jan. 1S.--It developed
that under the fuel administrations
plan for closing industries for five
days the government will buy all coal
consigned to the suspended industries.
These transactions will be conducted
through the treasury department.
State fuel administrations will redis
tribute the coal to food plants and
other industries permitted to run.
Mines producing coal under contract
TO industries which will be closed
down will be directed TO turn their
output over to state fuel administra-
tors under bill of lading attached. The
treasury department will set aside S25,-
100000 for the purchase of this coal.
To Divert Coal.
Coal In transit to industries which
will be closed will not be purchased by
the government but merely will be d.
ycrted by state fuel administrators
and turned over to consumers who
come within the preferential list. The
coal will be paid for by the ultimate
the mines in which the coal originates.
The rulings to be issued In connec.
ton with the order will be general I'm

has reserved to himself the power to
make interpretations and state fuel adj
ninistratOrs will be permitted to make
only special rulings to fit cases of the
gravest emergency. These will be sub
tect to review by the fuel administra-
ton.
Doctor Garfield was adamant in de-
claring that the order will be carried
out entirely. Following general con-
ference with his legal aides and mem
bers of the cabinet, he said:
"The action we have taken know
will raise a storm of objections. In
from everywhere now, but the people
will see that the order was wise and
necessary when all of the facts are
known. ---,--,
l. MeAdoo Supports Plan.
Doctor Garfield stated that Secre-
tary McAdoO is supporting the plan
absolutely. The railroads, the fuel
director said, will be expected to pO-
lice the situation by controlling distrl-
button while the various local admin
istrators will compel obedience with
its provision everywhere. Doctor Gar
field denied absolutely reports that the
effect of the order will be to slow
down production ut the mines The
contrary is the case he said. The OBJ
orators have promised to keep every
available man working. while the out
put will be stimulated through the
ability of the railroads to rush cars to
their destination, unload them without
delay, and keep them constantly in
motion.
A movement for suspension of Fuel
Administrator Garfields order until
its necessity is established. by investi-
CATION was set afoot in the senate. A
resolution to that purpose was pre-
pased by Senator Gallinger, Repub-
lican leader.
Senator Hitchcock (Dem.) intro
duced a resolution to suspend the fuel
order for five days.

Maj. J. G. Vincent shares with Major
Hall the distinction of creating the
famous motor that is expected to prove
an important factor in winning the
war. Major Vincent declares that the
Liberty motor is the most powerful en-
CINE ever manufactured. Though he
refused to state it's horse power in
definite figures, he did go so far as to
say that it is far more powerful than
any other motor ever constructed or
even contemplated. Contrary to COM
mon belief about the new motor, 1t is
not being used for automobiles, Major
Vincent said. 1t is being installed only
in airplanes, and in only those air
planes that are being sent abroad. Ma
ior Vincent before entering the nation

troit. .....

LLOYD GEORGE STATES
 ALLIED COUNCIL PLAN
Agree on Central Authority to Coordinate Allied Strategy Compliments Logical Presenta
 tiOn of Americas Suggestions

London, Feb. 19.-Premier Lloyd George today made in the House of Commons his eagerly awaited state ment regarding the recent army changes. He said the government was anxious to retain the services of Gen. Sir William Robertson as chief of staff so long as it was compatible upon the policy decided upon in com mon with Great Britain's allies.
 The premier said the policy of the government was based upon the as sumption that the allies had suffered in the past through lack of concerted and co-ordinated efforts. It had been decided to set up central authority to coordinate the strategy of the allies.
 The general principles laid down at the recent session in Versailles of the supreme war council were agreed to by all, the premier told the House. It was also agreed that there should be an inter-allied authority with execu- tive powers. The only difference which arose was as to it's constitu- ton. The first proposal at Versailles, he continued, wasa that the central authority should consist of a council of chiefs of staff, but this was aban- doned inasmuch as it was regarded as unavoidable.
 Mir. Lloyd George said it was essen- tial that decisions should be taken instantly at Versailles. Meeting sep arately, the delegates of the respec- tive allies, he explained, considered their own plan, which in each case was identical.
 The American representatives at the Versailles war council declared with irresistible power and logic' for the plan for expansion of the supreme councils power, the premier said.
 This plan was passed without a disseting vote and accepted by all the military representatives, the premier said.

ended with but little Of importance
done except the election OF John A.

Action on several proposed changes
in baseball was held in allegiance until
after the suggested conference with

IN making this announcement the
newly elected executive OF the senior
league said that there had been gen

rosters: 1919 schedules; number Of
games and other details. but that the
league declined to 90 on record IN any
OF these matters until after the joint
conference Therefore he said. ac-

Preceding the final session there

One Of the hundreds OF prospects
that the coming peace brings 10 ath-

After the sensational race II was

FOR one or more Of the championship
events each spring. The war killed
this plan but with the coming Of peace
& is perfectly permissible TO dream
OF seeing the Union Jack Haunted on

more or less regularity.
II is possible, too, that the Penn
management. when IL invites the

one OF the leading French colleges
II is not hard TO imagine how the
athletic public would pile into the
stands at Franklin Field for a peek
at a relay race between American
collegians and Johnny Bulls and
Trenches. Even at such a far off
date as April 1s20-the stunt could
hardly be pulled before that time-a

OF Affections. Levinsky's manager
takes the blame for Jeannette's ap-

that Bonds is suffering from loco

also declares that Bonds might have
been murdered by Dempsey II he had

statements are may be noticed when
one learns that Bonds played left

strengthen the belief that Dempsey
was framed I'D"
