DRASTIC FUEL RULE
 ID CONSERVE COAL
66 Degrees Given As Scientific
 Home Temperature

Washington, D. C.. July S-Ra- tioning of coal to householders was announced last night by the fuel ad- mlnistration as among schemes de- signed to prevent a threatened short age of coal next winter.
 Each domestic consumer will be al- lowed only as much coal as is found 10 be scientifically necessary to heat his house to 68 degrees, provided every conservation rule has been obeyed. The allowance for each householder, the announcement said, will be sufficient to comfort, but the thoughtless and wasteful consumer who finds his allowance gone before the end of the winter will have only himself to thank if he has no fuel with which to heat his house,
 Order Effective at Once.
 The administrators proposal in wolves a department of coal allot- ments in connection with each local fuel administrators office. This sys- tenn now has been completed and will be put into operation at once. Each order for coal will be censored bv comparison with the rating of the house where the coal is to be used. all doubtful cases will be carefully checked up by inspecting the house in question and surplus coal when or dered will be refused.
 All consumers who have obtained a quantity of coal in excess of their al- lotments, or who by deceit or mis- representation have violated any rules or regulations of the fuel ad- ministration, will be prosecuted
 This system," said the administra- tion's statement, Twill be drastic and will introduce conditions new to the country. It will be no more drastic, however, than conditions demand in the interest of all concerned. No one will be deprived of coal actually needed for heating. but no one will be allowed fuel for waste or extra Vagance.
 ''The fuel administration expects one to recognize the necessity and the reason for this supervision and to CO., operate fully with the local commit tees intrusted with carrying out the plan"

Appeal to Allies
NOTE REVEALS
CHAOS IN AUSTRIA
Believed in Washington That
Germany and Austria
Are in Accord

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 20-Interest
In official circles to-day was centered on
the new peace note from Austria, report
ed IN press dispatches to be ON its way
to Washington through the medium OF
the Swedish government. Though no of
fcial announcement has been made it
was considered certain no answer will
be made to the latest communication
from Germany delivered yesterday to
President Wilson.
Though the Austrian note, according
to the unofficial text, goes farther than
have any Of the German peace proposals
in that it asks the president to begin i'm
mediately negotiations for peace and an
armistice without awaiting further ex.
changes with Germany, many officials
saw virtually no signs of the expected
break in the alliance Of the central pow
powers. In fact, it is believed the Vien-
ma and Berlin governments are working
in harmony and with a full knowledge
OF the others actions. The belief was
based largely on the fact that the ac-
tions of Austria have not thus fan
caused any visible Resentment in Berlin.
The statement Of the Austrian govern
ment that it adhered to the point OF
view expressed by President Wilson in
his last communication upon the rights
OF the peoples of the dual monarchy. and
Of the Czeeho- o-Slovalls and Jugo Savs
in particular one Of the greatest con
eessions that Austria Hungary could
make was considered as rejecting the
chaotic conditions in the empire. Emper
or Charles, it was said, doubtless realizes
that conditions cannot long remain al
they now are, and accordingly, is ex.
erting even more strenuous efforts than
his ally to obtain peace not too oner
ous or too humiiating
In regard to Jis Austria association,
I was pointed out that nothing is said
about guaranteeing the complete inda
,endence Of those peoples 1t was
lhought in some quarters to-day thar
he president will demand that such
be offered before eonsonting

AMERICANS MAY ENTER BATTLE.
That Was Interpretation in Washington
sof News from Italian Front.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 29.-American
troops are on the verge of active par.
ticipation on the major Italian front.
This was the Interpretation here to-day
Of news from the Italian headquarters
that Americans are standing on reserve
behind the British and Italian forces now
driving across the Piaye.
The news is considered significant be.
cause it indicated that the Italian drive
is definite part Of the great offensive
that is rapidly bringing complete defeat
TO the central powers, 1t has added
meaning to officials here, also, since Aus.
tria now is pleading for an immediate
armistice
So far as official announcements here
there are but two regiments of infantry
and necessary auxiliary troops in the
American force in Italy These units
and any others that may have been sent
probably viii operate as part of one of
the Italian or British organizations when
the time comes to throw them into the
line.
The sending of American troops to
Italy was not with the idea of adding
military strength, but to demonstrate
the unity of command and purpose on
all fronts. For that reason the entire de- |
tachment sent by General Pershing for |
this purpose is believed not to have ex-
ceeded a brigade of infantry at most |
The artillery support contributed bv the |
allies to the Italian front is largely Brit. |

FRENCH URGE CAUTION.
Lest There Be Hidden Snare Behind Aus
trian Offer.

Paris, Oct. 29.-"The capitulation of
Austria" is the unvarying caption with
which the morning newspapers precede
Count Julius Andrassy's note to Presi-
dent Wilson, The editorials of the
newspapers, while accepting this con
clusion, urge caution lest there be hid
den snare behind the Austrian offer.
Beware of the last commissions of the
colossal enemy who is not yet complete
ly crushed" writes Maurice Barres in
the Echo de Paris. "The situation will
not clear until military defeat Is ac-
knowledged or inflicted It will draw in
its train the central empires, including
Germany
Alfred Capus, editor of the Figaro, and
all writer's agree there can be a question
of armistice only on the terms set bv the
allies. Count Andrassy, they say. repre.
sents nobody, and therefore, separate
peace with Austria Hungary is absurd
and impossible
THE demOcracies of the entente can
maintain only one attitude, an armistice
first, and all their conditions of peace
afterward, burt only afterward," saws
L'Homme Libre.
The Journal says; "There is unique
opportunity to lay down reasonable
basis for the future edifce of central Eu-
rope. The total dislocation of the Haps.
burg monarchy threatens to strengthen
Germany by the addition of twelve mil.
lion Germans and Austrians and "a
many Magyars. A center of gravity is
necessary in middle Europe. This center
can only be at Vienna or Berlin. What
will happen if we put Vienna and Ber.
