In counter attacking operations dnr- ing the day the Americans increased their number of prisoners materially and l at this hour it is possible to announce that the entire operation is going well and that all conditions are extremely satisfactory.

Shortage of Coal Will Mean Disaster in Carrying Out War Measures of the
 Government
MORE WORKING DAYS WILL GIVE ADEQUATE INCREASE IN SUPPLY
Coal Mine Owners of United States Working With Gov ernment in Effort to
 Meet the Demand
By CHARLES H. MANDY

One of the biggest problems that are confronting the nation today, particularly in its war activities, is the production and conservation of coal, states Erskine Ramsay, the well known local coal operator. Mr. Ramsay is a member of the Peabody committee on coal production of the council of national defense, and has spent much of his time in Washing ton, where he has been work ing with the Peabody commit tee in the effort to solve the coal production problem.
 The coal problem is no longer con- fined to any particular locality, states MT. Ramsay, but is nationwide, and with the "speed-up" programme of the government in the manufacture of war essentials, the decided shortage of labor and car facilities, the question is now matter of miners and cars, If the increased demand is to be met.
 MT. Ramsay states there is only one way to meet the increased demand and that is by the mines working more days. Tn recent issue of the Black Dia- nond, coal trade journal, the state- ment is made, based on official figures, that last year the mines of this coun- try produced 509,0Oo,o00 tons of coal; to this is added an estimated 100000 tons that was in storage, making a total of approximately 550,000,000 tons.
 SERIOUS SHORTAGE
 This amount proved inadequate to meet the demand and serious shortage ensued. The outlook this year is that at least 100,0000B more tons of coal will be needed to meet the increased demand, as there is practically no coal in stor- age, and this situation wilt have to be met with increased production. If this Is not met the results will be indeed seri- ous, for not only will it tie up shipping but 1t will be impossible to take care of our inland transportation of foodstuffs and war munitions We must have more coal.
 'Ihe situation can be met, however, by the mines working more days. The authority mentioned above states that to produce the 5o9. ouo,0oo tons last year the

LULU THROUGHOUT NIGHT

On the French Front in France. July ls.-(By the Associated Press. )-The bat tle lullod throughout the night after ex- tremely lively actions to the south cf the Marne. French and American troous came back ln the most vigorous manner against the Germans, who crossed the rlVer. In the course of numerous counter | atldcks they made large captures ct prisoners in the neighborhood of Dor mans, the Americans outdoine thair French comrades in this respect.
 The maximum German effort appears to nave been thrown against the west. ern portion of the battlefield, where the enemy made immense endeavors to ad- vance as far as possible south of rhs Marne towards Montmirail which it was ms intention to reach in the course or the first days fighting.
 The Franco-American resistance hov- ever, prevented the. Germans from exc cutting this rlan. The strength of their effort is shown by the fact that they engaged fourteen divisions-approxi mately l1O,0C0 men-in the first line ,n this part of the battlefield.
 behlnd these In support were probably If additional divisions, some of which. owing t2 the losses sustained by tho men m the front line, were compelled 10 take part in the fighting.
 On the eastern side of Rheims wbare the Germans met such a severe check yesterday, they also had about IA divI sions in the front line, with a similar number in reserve. In conseuuence of the nature of the fighting there the Germans suffered terribly and thei- troops were obliged to halt for the pur- pose of recognizing.
 Enemy activity to the east of Rheims was quite pronounced this morning. the heavy artillery being very busy. It ap. peared as though the Germans were pre- pairing to renew the battle for Chalons. which, according to prisoners, it was their intention to capture today. Some or the finest divisions of the German army nave been engaged in the battle. those identified including the Prussian and Bavarjan guard, Saxons, Silesians and Wurttemburgers
