GARFIELD ASKS MORE COAL
Fuel Administration Launches Drive to
Increase Production and Avert
Famine This Winter.

Washington, Oct. Ito avert q coal
famine this winter and also meet all
the needs of the war program, Fuel
Administrator Garfield today launched
a drive for coal production which is
to continue until April L
In a formal proclamation to oper
ators and miners alike, the fuel admin
istrator calls upon all to enlist in a
detailed program to produce u, 234, 900
tons of bitumiuous coal and 100000
tons of anthracite every week. This
tonnage, he promises, viii give the
country all the coal needed this winter.
It represents a weekly increase of
1,731, 900 tons Of bituminous and 121,-
600 tons Of anthracite over the weekly
production averages OF the correspond
ing period of year ago.
Mr. GarfieId's call was transmitted
to every district production manager,
who in consultation with their mine
production committees viii apportion
a weekly quota for each mine. Each
miner will be asked to assume personal
responsibility for weekly coal produc-
ton representing his equitable proper
ton of the mines allotment.

RETREAT HAS ALREADY BEGUN
Hun Forces Hinged by Victorious Allies
From North Sea to Verdua-
Evacuating Belgium.

Washington, Oct 3-The German
grip on Northern France and Belgium
has been definitely broken Even the
most cautious military observers in
Washington agreed tonight that the
Hindenburg line as disintegrating and
army officers conferred their whole at
tention on the efforts of the German
leaders to extricate their armies with
out crushing disaster.
Outflanked in Belgium and in the
Champagne, the great German zone Of
defensive works known as the linden
burg line already was becoming unten-
able when Field Marshal Haige men
smashed through it today just north OF
St Quentin The immediate invest
ment Of the city by French troops and
the swift widening of the breach north
ward, coupled with the continued rapid
progress OF French, Belgian and Brit
ish forces in Belgium, it is thought
here, may possibly upset the whole
German scheme Of retirement, which
already had begun on the reims front
May Make Il Rout
British penetration Of the line, it was
said, may furnish Marshal Foch with
a means to embarrass the German re-
treat, always with the possibility OF
precipitating a Teritable rout-
Hinged by a wall of victorious enc
mics over the whole front from the
North Sea TO Verdun, the situation OF
the Germans is undoubtedly grave.
The drive in Belgium is menacing vital
communications on one side while
American and French troops in the
Champagne are surging forward to-
ward equally vital supply lines on the
other The battle line is assuming the
shape of vast trap, thrusting its jaw
open to engulf the German armies.
Germans See Their Danger.
The German leaders have seen their
danger Official reports to the State
Department today indicated that evacu-
alton OF the submarine bases on the
Belgian coast was imminent There
also is conclusive evidence that the
evacuation of the lines before Reims
is well under way. The question upper
most in the minds of army officers
here is whether the German high COM
mand has acted in time
Announcement from Paris that 1000
prisoners were taken by the French
yesterday in operations between the
Vesle and the Aisne rivers is signifi-
cant Of the difficulty of getting troops
back safely out Of an abandoned fight
ing line. There has been no hint of a
French attack on a large scale on this
front and the Berlin statements have
characterized the movement as a with
drawaL Only a narrow front was in
yOIyed vet 2 900 men left as rear
guards were captured.

That neither the German language
nor the German classical music is to
be barred from the University of Kan
sas and that to know the Germans
tongue and his music is adding an
other weapon to those the Allies can
turn against the Hun is the stand now
being taken by the university author
tiles.
German language study will be re-
quired not only of the students Of med
icfne, but of the students who are en-
rolled in the student army training
corps. The greater part of the medical
texts are printed in German, accord
ing to DIR. NJ T. SudIer of the school
of medicine, and a listening post out
in No Mans Land that does not know
the German tongue is no better than
a fence post, according to Captain B.
T. Scher of the military training de-
partment.
A special course, entitled German
for the Soldiers" is included as one
of the required studies for the mem
bers of the student army training
corps. The course is intended to give
the student soldiers a working know1-
edge of the language and will include
new vocabulary of the words being
used by the Germans for different war
implements and movements. 1.-THE
course will make real listening posts
possible, listening posts that cannot
only listen, but understand said Cap
tain Scher.
In the fine arts school the musical
numbers by German composers will
not be excluded from the course, &C
cording to Professor Charles S. Skill
ton, instructor in history of music and
theory Professor Skilton declares
that the study of German modernists
in music will be dropped, but that the
study OF the old German masters will
be continued.
