Bituminous Operators Declare
Prohibition Is Necessary
During War.
CANNOT SECURE COAL
National Coal Association Declares
United States Cannot Get Suffi-
clent Coal and Also Have
Liquor on Sale.

Washington, July 15.-Fuel Admins
lrator Garfield has been informed by
the National Coal Association, repre-
senting bituminous operators produc-
ing 400,000,000 tons of coal annually,
that immediate nationwide prohibition
is absolutely necessary If the extra
100000, 600 tons of coal year needed
by the country in the war on Germany
is to be mined.
DR. Garfield is understood to have
laid the associations recommendation
before President Wilson for his con-
sideration.
In a statement the association said
that in the opinion of special CON-
mittee of its members from virtually
all coal producing sections of the
country which has investigated the
question, the country cannot have both
booze" and sufficient coal this winter.
Prohibition Imperative"
"The liquor traffic." said the state
ment, is curtailing coal production
and the time has come to eliminate II
If there is to be the substantial in
crease in coal output the war program
demands"
A summary of the report of the. as
sociation's special committee said:
Regardless of political affiliations
of the members of the association and
leaving out of consideration the moral
issues involved and basing its opinion
entirely on economic and patriotic
ground the committee unanimously
and unqualifedly believes that the ma
tional prohibition for the period of the
war is absolutely necessary to make
effective this or any other plan for In.
creased coal production.
"A comparison of records of pro-
duction of coal mines in wet and dry
territories furnishes ample proof of
the need of prohibition"
"Drink Evil Rampant"
A. r. Hamilton, chairman of the
committee, made this supplemental
statement:
The committee feels that the drink
ing evil has become so rampant I'm the
mining communities that its complete
elimination is fundamentally necessary
In the effort to speed up the mines snf-
ficiently to get the 100,000,000 addi-
tional tons of coal this country will re-
quire this year II Is now up to Con-
gross to make clean-cut choice be-
tween booze" for the mining commu-
mites and coal for the war and the
public"

Amsterdam, July 15.-Reports re-

No reason can be assigned for re-

mans may have decided that Belgian
spies co-operated with the British in
the recent naval raid ON that port, or
that the Belgians are being removed
to act as laborers.

In the last six months there have
been several rumors of the death of

had spread all over Germany. German
newspapers were not permitted to men,

termaster general, had taken over the
field marshal's duties as chief of the

German forces on the Russian front
until August 80, 1915, when he was
appointed chief of the general staff in

London, July 15.-The French have
once more broken through the Ger
man positions and advanced their
lines. The blow was delivered on
front that has been quiet for the last
six weeks.
This new blow at the enemy was.
launched between Castel and Mailly-
Raineval on the Picardy, southeast
of Amiens, where there has been but
little fighting since the French by a
local attack pushed the Germans out
of the Senecat wood late in May.
Between Yankees and Australians.
The attack was along a front of ap-
proximately three miles. 1t swept the
Germans back out of the village of
Castel and Anchin farm, about a mile
to the south and cleared out the enemy
positions. The French penetrated the
German lines to depth of more than
a mile.
The American attack on Cantigny,
some time ago advanced the line ma
terially at that point, while the Aus
tralians and Americans on July and
8 cut deeply into the German lines at
Hamel and Villers-Bretonneux, south
of the Somme.
The French attack was launched at
a point between positions of the
Americans at Cantigny and the Aus
tralians, further north.

successfully, the French may be able
to press the foe back across the Avre
and thus have an admirable defensive
position to the southeast of Amiens
Between the Marne and the Aisne,
the French have continued their often
sive operations. 1t is reported that
the village of Longpont, south of
Corey, the capture of which was re-
ported Thursday, has been taken by
