PRODUCTION, COAL
= MEN ARE WARNED

Philadelphia. May 2S.-Bituminous
coal men from all parts of the coun-
try, attending the first annual con-
vention of the National Coal associa-
ton here, were told today that the
government will spend $1000,000, 900
to expand railroad facilities and that
sooner or later the producing of SUI
hcient fuel will be squarely up to the
operators. This declaration was
made to the convention by E. N. Hur-
ley, chairman of the United States
shipping board.
Mr.. Hurley said there must be
more efficiency in and about the mines
to increase production and new busi-
ness methods, new cooperation be-
tween employer and employe and Gre
alton of schools for training new su-
perintendents, foremen and workers
to meet military drafts on labor.
]. D. A. Morrow, general director
of distribution of the federal fuel ad-
ninistration, said the coal production
for the coal year starting April must
reach 735,000,000 IONS in order to
meet the country's war needs and
that under present rate of consump-
ton and output the production of BIZ
luminous will fall short about IT,
100000 tons.

edly will have to be used in producing
fabrics for civilian wear, according to
H. P. Bonties of the quartermaster's
department. He said that all the avail
able medium woods will be needed to
meet the army's requirements. and,
while fine woods enter to small ex-
tent into the government specihca-
tions for goods, the quantity of wool
of this grade is very limited 7
The United States, it was pointed
out, had to import 600,000,000 pounds
of wool annually to meet its needs
and in time of war shipping facilities
are by no means guaranteed.
The jobbing and tailoring branches
of the trade must face a gloomy
period in future, according to their
representatives at the meeting. The
almost complete elimination of <im-
ported woolens and the actual i'm
possibility of ordering cloth from do
mestic mills with any prospect of de-
livery give rise to fears that the stu
alton may become critical

RICKENBACHER
SCORES ANOTHER
VICTORY IN AIR

With the American Army in
France, May 28.-Lieutenant Edward
V. Rickenbacher of Omaha and Lieu
tenant Douglas Campbell OF Califor-
MIA this morning forced a German
biplane down out of control in the
Bois de Rate northeast of Xivray, in
the Toul sector, during battle with
six enemy planes. The German ma
chimes encircled the American pilots
and attempted to drive them behind
the German lines. Rickenbacher
suddenly pounced on one of the enc
my planes, and Campbell, coming to
his assistance, managed to drive the
enemy down.
1t was Lieutenant Campbell, it has
been established, who destroyed an
enemy biplane near Essey, inside the
German lines on the Toul front, yes

The German machines wings crump-

New York, May 2s.-Olive drab
and khaki-colored cloth will not be
manufactured hereafter for civilian
use, the American Association of
Woolen aud Worsted Manufacturers
announced after meeting here today.
The restriction was decided upon at
the request Of the War department,
which pointed out that the olive drab
and Khaki have been consecrated to
the use of United States troops and
that the commercial use of the colors
is improper. -
Efforts will be made to obtain the
complete suspension of the manu-
facture of cloth of these colors from
other textiles, it was announced, the
association pledging itself to urge
upon all manufacturers the propriety
of such action.
1t was explained that the decision
will affect the Boy Scouts and all who
have sought to make their styles Of

KEYNOTE
OF COP.
Senator Lenroot Of Wisconsin
Brings Big Gathering Of
\ Republicans at Lincoln
to Feet, Cheering.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)

Lincoln, May 2S.-(Special.)
Senator Lenroot's stirring
address to the republican state
conference at the auditorium
this afternoon had the 1900
republicans gathered there on
their feet, cheering after al
most every period.
The Wisconsin senator was at his
best in his appeal for loyalty and
patriotism above partisanship coupled
with his adjuration for devotion to
republican principles and policies. He
told how the president and his demo-
cratic advisers were asking the ad-
journment of politics accepting .only
democratic politics, and how, while
republicans in congress were accord
ing the administration loyal support
for all needed war measures, even
those for which they could not COM
mand united democratic support, the
president had written letters and sent
messengers to urge the election of
democratic candidates in districts vot-
ing to fill vacancies against as loyal,
and sometimes more loyal republicans.
Urges Organization.
Senator Lenroot urged those pres
ent on their return home to see to it
that the work of republican organiza-
tion is begun at once with patriotic
meetings in every school house. and
put America first and the republican
party second.
The meeting was called to order by
State Chairman Beach, who presented
former Congressman Pollard to in
troduce the special guests. Mr.. Pol

LINE BENT BACK.

LINE BENT BACK.
Notwithstanding the rapidity Of the
drive and the large number of the
enemy pressing it--some unofficial
estimates place the number of shock
troops alone at Is divisions or about
100000 picked men--the allied front
nowhere has been pierced, but under
the onslaughts has bent back in per-
feet liason and all the time giving
battle. With such precision has the
retirement been conducted that both
the British and the French troops
have been able to carry back with
them all Of their supplies and guns or
to destroy those they were not able
to handle.
At present it is impossible geo.
graphically to depict the extent Of the
German gains, but it would seem evi<
dent that the deepest salient they have
driven is in the region due east o
Vailly-about eight miles.
AMERICANS ATTACK.
Although the Germans, for the mo
ment at least, seemingly are having
their own way on the southern part OF
the line in France, on the sectorss
around Montdidier and southwest oi
Ypres they are being sorely harassed
by the Americans, British and
French.
Tuesdays fighting in the vicinity
of Montdidier will mark an epoch in
the war, so far as the American
troops are concerned. Here, in an at.
tack, they captured their first village
-Cantigny, which lies short dis
tance northwest of Mont;idier. They
also took several other objectives and
held all of them in the face of counter
attacks. The Germans suffered severe
losses in men killed or wounded and
in addition left behind them 200 men >
made prisoner, among them two Of.
hcers.
The American casualties were rela.
lively small. The German official re-
port announces the taking of Amer
ican prisoners. The report from
American headquarters however,
shows only two Americans missing,
one in Picardy and the other in the
Luneville sector. ~ u
Foe Beaten in Ypres Sector.
Likewise, southwest of Ypres, the
enemy received hard usage at tho
hands Of the British and French, east
of Dickebusch lake, where Monday
the Germans in an attack had taken
ground. The British and French sue
ceeded in completely multiplying the
enemy's maneuver
In the Italian theater the Italians
are keeping up their offensive against
the Austrians. At Capi Sile, near the
Adriatic coast, the Italians penetrated
the enemy lines more than $50 yards.
"Frightfulness" has been carried out
against American hospitals behind
the lines by German airrnen, several
bombs were dropped near the hos.
pitals, but no damage was done. Sim

and wounded inmates.

DIVISIONS
IN ATTACK
Superior Numbers, Tanks, Ma.
chine Guns and Poison Gas
Shells Principal Factors in
Successful Advance.
(By Associated Press.)

With the French Army in France,
May 2S.-(Noon.-At least Is Ger
man divisions today joined in the at
tack and forced further back the
French and British divisions holding
the line in the Champagne.
Tanks. machine guns and poison
gas shells were the principal factors
in the successful advance, aside from
the numerically superior forces of the
Germans
Notwithstanding the smallness of
the allied armies, they did their ut
most to stay the immense push of
the enemy troops, ten times their
number. The German advance, which
was one of the most rapid since the
beginning of the war, could not be
held, however, as wave after wave in
defense lines came forward.
Retreat Orderly.
The western allied flank has main
tanned its positions we'll and reserves
are hurrying toward the danger
point of the greatest advance.
The retreat of the French and Brit
ish was made in orderly fashion, the
troops destroying their material as
they left or taking it along with them.
The army staff still retains the fullest
CONFIDENCE in the outcome of4.the
battle. .,,'
Very strong enemy columns about
q o'clock in the morning came through
the plain to the east of Craonne aud
around Juvincourt, and the allied
troops, after the overwhelming nature
of the enemy's forces was perceived,
carried out the order to retire across
the Aisne to their principal defensive
positions.
Craonne fell, leaving the remainder
OF the Chemins Des Danes open to a
flank attack.
Aim to Pass Vesle.
Paris, May 2S.-The Germans are
trying to force passage of the
Vesle at Fismes, which is the center
OF most important communications,
according to the Liberte correspond
ent at the front, who adds: >
The battle is being ferce1y con-
tested with alternating fortunes. Our
reserves are commencing to arrive
south of the Vesle and their effect is
already felt at Fismes."
The military critics now consider
that the idea that the German Of
.ensive launched yesterday between
scissors and Rheims is a diversion
must be abandoned, since the move
nent has developed into great battle
along 30-mile front.
The enemy's initial efforts, says the
Temps, having unfortunately obtained
.or the troops of the German crown
prince some notable advantages, as
hey succeeded in carrying the
-hemin Des Danes and thrustinp
back the Franco-British contingents
rom the Ailette to the Aisne, the
enemy command has at once made |
very effort to exploit the successes.
