Coal Shortage for
Winter, Says Smith
1Ey Tho Associated pressl

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.--The rail-

antee that there will be no further coal

Local shortages will be inevitable un-
der existing abnormal conditions, Mr..
Smith said, but indications are that no
important industries will be forced to
shut down because of lack of fuel, and
householders will be supplied reason
ably we'll. He added that this applied
to New York and New England, where
the coal shortage has been most marked
in the East.
Whether operations of express COM

LONDON. Jan. 1O-Unofficia reports
received here concerning the first ses-
sion of the peace conference at Brest
Litovsk, which was resumed Tuesday,
with Leon Trotzky, the Bolshevik For
eign Minister, at the head of the Rus
sian delegates, say that Trotzky in a
speech insisted on removal of the
conference to Stockholm. Trotzky de-
clared the Russians came to Brest-
Litovsk not as the representative Of a
conquered country and did not intend
to ask for pity, but would continue to
act as true revolutionists. He is re-
ported to have told the German and
Austrian delegates that if they Gid not
accede to his request they would feel
the weight of the voice of the democ-
iacies of the Central Powers and the
weight Of arms of the Russian democ-
racy.
"The Evening Post" asserts that the
Germans replied that they did not de-
cine to carry on the peace negotia-
tons, but that the Russians failed to
specify where they should be held.

u. 5. Destroyer
Saves Steamers
From U-Cruiser
lEy The Associated Press

LONDON, Jan. 1O.-The submarine
warfare has gradually taken on new
phase Since the wintry weather set in.
Submarines Of the so-callcd cruiser
type are now doing most of the sink
ings, while the smaller submarines ap
parently are confining their work
largely to mine-laying.
The reason for this shifting of Ger
man technique is that small subma-
rines are not good surface craft in
stormy seas, while the cruiser tyne
has proved wonderfully scaworthy
These cruiser submarines carry two
SO guns and sixteen torpedoes and can
remain at sea six weeks. The Germans
have built considerable number of
these rsubmarines, but so many
of them have been lost that there are
now not more than seven or eight
operating.
The cruiser submarine guns no
Ginger are of the old type which
folded into the body of the craft when
it submerged and had tc be unfolded
before a U-boat could get into action.
The new guns are known technically
as wet guns, being constructed of ma
terlal which sea water does not harm.
forms. Therefore, they arc ALWAYS
ready and can be fired the instant the
deck of an emerging boat is above
water.
An American torpedo boat destroyer
hsAl an encounter with one of these
submarine crisers a few days ago. The
German was engaged in sinking three
armed merchantmen from a range of
four mi les. and had fired about thirty
shots when the American destroyer ap-
peared on the horizon, attracted by
the sound of the guns.
The destroyer opened fire at six
miles with the wonderful American ma
val guns. The U-boat, however, was
lying with decks almost awash and
therefore, was most difficult target,
and as the American drew in toward
her at full speed she submerged sud
denly.
The Americans were unable to de-
stroy the Uboat, but the destroyer
escorted two of the three merchant
men safely to port after having rescued
the crew of the third, which already
was sinking.

ly, and that never before had such
provision been made for the comfort
and health Of an army.
The Secretary read an exhaustive
prepared statement when he took the
stand. Then questions began to fly
from every side of the committee table,
launching a cross-examination that was
not concluded at adjournment tonight
and probably will continue all day to-
morrow.
Chairman Chamberlain and other
committeeman wanted to know par
ticularly about delays in furnishing
machine guns and rifles, and much at
tention was devoted to the arn,y's
supply purchasing system.
Frankly Admits Delays
Mr.. Baker admitted there had been
some mistakes and delays, but declared
that all fighting men in France were
adequately equipped and armed and
that all sent over would be. He took
full responsibility for delay in ap-
proving a machine gun, holding that
the value of the Browning gun now de :
veloped was worth it. He also said
the superior weapon obtained by hav-
ing the British Enfield rifle recham-
bered for American ammunition COM
pensated for the delay there.
More than 100000 Americans are
now under arms, Secretary Baker said,
and an army of substantial size already
is in France ready for active service.
Members OF the committee were
frank in their disapproval OF the secret
purchasing system of the department.

Agrees to Continue Peace
Parleys With Teutons at
Brest-Litovsk

BERNE. Switzerland, Jan 1O.-A sep
arate peace agreement has been signed
by Russia and Bulgaria, the "Bund" re-
ports.
A Bulgarian spondent of the
"Bund" says Premier Radoslavoff read
the following dispatch from Brest-
Litcvsk, in Parliament:
"War between Russia and Bulgaria
ceases. Diplomatic and economic re-
lations between Russia and Bulgaria
are resumed. Russia recognizes Bull
garia's right to nominate a delegate
to an International Danube commission.
The first peace is thus concluded, with
the consent of Bulgaria's allies"
The "Bund" says Bulgaria has ap-
pointed minister to Petrograd and a
consul general to be stationed at
Odessa, and has ordered the RESUMPTION
Of navigation to Odessa.
King Ferdinand of Bulgaria is
credited with opposing the formula of
peace without annexations or indemni-
ties, declaring Bulgaria should retain
the territory she had won. This would
not interfere with a peace between
Russia and Bulgaria, however, inasmuch
as the territory Bulgaria desires con-
sists of parts of Serbia and Rumania.
Premier Radoslavoff was quoted in a
Sofia dispatch last month to the effect
that Bulgaria had accepted the Russian
proposals, providing for ending the
war, restoring commercial treaties in
effect before the war and settling the
Danube question.

Although the inter-Allied conference

SO far as known, however. there has

no more ships for moving food than

With Allies
America to Export Ninety
Million Bushels; To Com
pei Conservation

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-Ship losses
and crop failures abroad have brought
about such serious food situation in
the Allied countries that the United
States is planning to release for cx-
port 90,000,00O bushels of wheat, al
though the country's export surplus
had been shipped by mid-December.
The American people will be asked
by the food administration to cut their
consumption to make up the amount
to be exported. Unless they do. the
nation is threatened with a flour short
age in May before the new wheat crop
is harvested in June.
Plan Compulsory Saving
The food administration is consider
ing legislation to make the saving Of
wheat compulsory and has approved a
bill drawn by Representative Lever,
author of the food control bill, to en-
force wheatless days. Proposals for
mixed fiours and for a form of war
bread of mixed grains also are under
consideration as possible measures to
rc0nce the use OF wheat flour.
In preparation for dealing with the
situation the food administration has
decided to purchase from the mills 80
per cent of their output. Out of the
flour purchased it will supply the
Allies, the army and the navy. and will
maintain reserve stores to meet any
local shortages that may arise
Some food administration officials
think slight wheat -four shortage
next spring not only would not cause
suffering here, but might have whole
some effect in causing the people to
turn to other cereals.
