In a battle which has lasted since Thursday and which probably is still !. continuing with uneXampled fury, the Germans have been hurliug massed divisions against the British and French lines from far north of Albert 10 a short distance north of Montdid- fer Probably there has not been a more ssnsuinary battle fought since the beginning of the Teutonic offensive on March q than this. which has for it's objective the driving of a wedge : between the British and French armies, tke cutting of the Paris -Amiens rail- road south of Amiens and the capture of that city.
 Allied Lines Are Holding.
 But ip spite of the power of the attack and the desperation of the lighting, the allied legions have stood firm over the most Of their front. At only two points have they been fore cd to give ground, and these seem, on inc map, tc be but minor successes when compared with the sacrifices of lives which they have cost. Just to the southwest of Albert, the British have withdrawn a short distance, and the French have given up the village Of Castei, west Of Moreuil. which has been the storm center of the German GfSaultS TOT tne past lew udES Al shis point the Teutons are within three miles of the Paris-Aniens road.
 The German official statement claims that successes both north and south ,s tiip Somme, have been won and that tse number of prisoners taken since she beginning of inc drive has increas- cd Co s0og0 and the guns captured now total 1900. .
 It is probable that the allies have abandoned their Fabian tactics and arc now prepared to give hattie to the Germans They have fixed their lones about twelve miles east of the city of Amiens and it is evident that here they have turned at bay against tbe Invaders. The contour of the countr! back of the allied lines lends itself te defensive tactics. It is quite high anS is of a character which compels at taclSinr forces to expose themselves to concentrations of fire from artillery and infantry.
 It is necessary for the Germans tc break through the British and Frencl lines in this region or to outfiank tht

Director of the Coal Production

CAUSES OF COAL FAMINE

Washington, Jan. 15.-Four plans
for improving the coal situation were
outlined to the senate investigating
committee yesterday by Francis Pea
body, director Of the coal production
bureau Of the council of national de-.
Tense. They were:
Establishment Of producing and dis
tributing zones, shipments to be con-
fined to those zones except in eXcep.
tional cases.
A definite statement of the govern.
ment's policy as to price until the
war ends.
The placing of the question of prior.
ity into the hands of experienced men.
A premium on clean coal.
Discussing the reason for shortages,
Mr.. Peabody said that shipments to
the northwest this winter on priority
orders had exceeded those of the pre-.
vious winter by some three million
tons. Government prices, he said, had
made much of the coal shipped to the
lake docks unattractive, and while
this coal remains on the piers consum-
ers are buying the cheaper coal from
Illinois and Indiana, which now is 60
ing into the northwest.
