A Barre woman, who sought at Christ

teresting letter from the soldier who re-
ceived the parcel of Christmas cheer
which she sent early last summer, To
be sure, the package was not delivered
until July, but the writer, who is Pri-
yate X. W. Holton of the Goth U. S. in
fantry, is none the less appreeiative, as
the tone of his letter indicates. 1t reads
as follows:

COAL PRICES TO DROP
Extent of the Reduction Will Be
Worked Out Soon.
Bituminous Variety Will Be Made
Cheaper, According to Fuel
Administrator.

Washington, May PAS a result
of an agreement by which the rail-
roads will pay the standard price,
reduction of the government fixed
price of bituminous coal will be or
dered by the Fuel administration
soon. <as
The agreement was reached by Fuel
administrator Garfield and Director
General McAdoo.
The amount of the reduction is to
be worked out at further conferences
between heads of the two admini.tra-
tiOns.
The attitude of the Railroad ad.
ministration was understood to be that
the maximum should be in the neigh
borhood of 1925 ton. This is 35 or
40 cents below the present general
average of government prices for BIZ
LUMINOUS coal at the mines.
The railroad administration has also
agreed to distribute cars evenly
among all mines, abandoning tho
practice under private management
of furnishing 100 per cent supply
to mines turning out railroad coal,
and cutting the supply to other mines.
This arrangement is expected to re-
suit in greater production.

Director General McAdoo Re-

MAY REAPP0INT SOME
New Plan contempIates Naming
Federal Director for Each Road,
Responsible Only to the Rail-

Washington, May 2S.-Director Gen.
eral McAdoo has relieved from active
duty as executive manager of his road
every railroad president in the Unit
ed States. A federal director for each
road, responsible only to the railroad
administration. will be appointed.
In many cases the president OF the
road may be named federal director.
To safeguard the interests of stock
holders and maintain the individual
ity of each railway, federal directors,
whenever. possible, will be appointed
from among the operating officers OF
the property, the director general an

Huntington Removed First.
The first act of the director general
today in executing this new policy
was the removal of G. w. Huntington,
president of the Virginia railway, as
chief operating officer, on the charge
that he failed to carry out promptly
the Railroad administrations instruc-
tons regarding the repair and main
tenance of his line.
This was thought to be the fore
runner of similar disposition of a
number of other railroad presidents,
but announcement of the plan for
wholesale replacement of railway
presidents by federal directors came
as a general surprise at this time.

Washington, May 25.-The house.
Military Affairs committee has grant
ed Secretary of War Baker unlimited
power to draft men within the ages

act: -.
The Committee adopted an amend

president to take any number of men

draft law, observing the order of class.
ification. H."
The complete bill was reported out
carrying an appropriation of $685.,
129,319.44 in cash; ~$2,464,416,451 in
authorizations; and sum estimated
at just in excess of $1,000, 100000 for
signal corps and aircraft, total of
$12,033,545,822.14.
Secretary Baker won notably easy
victory in gaining authority to draft
an unlimited number of men. He was
before the committee only 10 minutes
urging it,. IL.
Notice to World, He Says.
When Mr.. Baker came out of the
committee room he said:
"This is notice to the world that
the complete manpower of America
Is mortgaged to the successful prose
cut1on of the war. It is signal that
Congress and the people stand firmly
for President Wilson's prosecution of
the war, embodying as it does the
use of as many men as are essential
to victory" T.
At the War department after his
return from the capitol, Secretary
Baker made the following statement:
ri have been down to the House
appropriations committee on the ques-
ton of the appropriations bill for
1888. The only question remaining
under consideration in the House is
the question Of the size of the army.
The question is whether to put a limit
on it, and if so, what limit. I urged
the committee to put no limit: but to
authorize the President, in the terms
granted him by the! act of May 10,
1917, to use such number as he found
it possible to organize, train and
equip so as to bring the war to a
successful conclusion.
No Change in Draft Age.
"The committee seemed to be- very
generous in their consideration of the
suggestion, and 1t rather looked as
though that was the way it wished
the thing would be! done. B..
''They asked at the House commit
tee meeting whether I had prepared
any change in the draft age, and I
said I had not.
"The subject of using men in in.
dustrial pursuits was not mentioned"
The committee report was unani-
nous. Chairman Dent, who previ-
ously had said he would support no
Indefinite items or powers" changed
his mind and will lead the fight for
the bill on the floor.
A campaign is under way by COM
nlittee members to have the House
vote unanimously for the measure. It
will come up in the next day or so
and hold preferred place on the cal
endar until passed.
Chairman Dent said that he knew
of not one individual who would op-
pose or delay its passage.
