Washington, February 19.-The fuel administration today decided to send Rembrandt PeaIe, a special assistant fields to try to settle the strike of Alabama miners. Mir. Peale is the coal operators representative in the fuel administration.
 The Alabama miners, some 10000 of whom are out, charged the operators are not living up to the so-called Gar field agreement of last fall. They claim that the operators are vioIat- ing provisions of the agreement hav- Ing to do with labor conditions The operators have denied this. MT. Pealo will make thorough investigation and report to the fuel administration.
 John P. White, former president Of tho United Mine Workers of America, and now the fuel administration la Dor director, has wired to the strik- ins miners to go slow, but has insist ed that the operators be forced to carry out their part of the agreement.
 Reports today indicated that miners not directly concerned are threatening to strike out of sympathy with those
 
 Frank A. Hayes. president of the United Mine Workers of America, has asked the fuel administration to ap- point an umpire to settle the strike
 MESSAGE TO GARFIELD
 It was known in Birmingham Mon- day night that a night letter had been sent to the United States fuel admin istrator. pr. Garfield, by the United Mine Workers headquarters in Bir- mingham, but the contents were not made public until yesterday. The night letter sent from here follows:
 President Wilson has stated that no body of men has the moral right to strike until every method of adjustment has been tried to the limit With this principle the mine workers of Alabama are in full accord. Since the creation Of the United States fuel administration the mine workers of Alabama have gone the limit to secure an adjustment of their grievances. During the month of Novem- Der the representatives of the miners and the representatives of the operators at your request visited your office at Washington and presented their respec- tive sides of the controversy. After num- ercus sessions your representative, Rem brandt Peale, submitted on December IA memorandum which was accepted by the committee representing the miners and ratified by a delegate convention

The Italian disaster has been cited as a striking example of what the lack of complete cooperation among the allies might bring about When the Aus.ro- German drive into Italy began, the ltai- ian armies were threatening the very heart of the whole German military fab ric The mighty German defepses on the west front were theratened from the rear, for Austria was crumbling under the punishment administered by the forces of General Cadorna There are officers here who believe that the war would have been virtually over now had t Cadorna's great effort been made with the full support off the British and French behind it. Failing that, 1t was swept back and the enemy given the best military position he had occupied since the defeat of his drive at Paris in 1914
 PREMIER FACED CRISIS
 Army officers here profess complete ignorance of the plan of campaign mapped out by the Versailles supreme war council and upon which MT. Lloyd George unhesitatingly staked the sur vival of his government In boldly chai- lenging Parliament it was pointed out, the premier knew beyond question that the defeat of his ministry and the con sequent withdrawal of Great Britain from adherence to the full purpose Of the Versailles council meant that no highly organized allied offensive could be looked forward to this year.
 The premers statement did not throw any light on the plan of action agreed upon at Versailles. Tiis words appar- ently were carefully weighed to prevent any inkling of that plan from being drawn from them The promptness or his challenge to his critics, however, and the unreserved nature of that challenge was interpreted here as a hint at great events soon to come
 HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT
 Taken in connection with Presiden, Wilson's recent statement that 1918 would be the decisive year and the repeated warnings from the western front that a great German offensive is imminent there, today's proceedings in London are regarded as highly significant.
 It has been asserted officially and un officially that the allies still have a pre- ponderance of men and guns on the western front and the belief here is that the allied council would not be content to await the blow of the enemy.
 The explanation of the premier of the rejection of Gen Sir William Robertsons proposal to place subordinate officer as Great Britain's representative on the supreme council probably throws light upon the purpose of the Washington government in continuing General Tas- ker H. Bliss it's representative at Yer sailles, as chief of staff, although all his functions in that capacity are in process of transfer to Maj Gen. Peyton c. March.
