CONFERENCE SUSPENDED

CONFERENCE SUSPENDED
 Meanwhile the peace conference pro- ceedings at -Litovsk have again beer suspended, and Foreign Minister Trotzky is reported to have gone to Pe- trograd on Thursday night. Opinion an ongs foreign observers in Petrograd seems to be that the negotiations are working their way to a final break. and the fall of the price of the German mark in neutral markets is pointed to as an irdication of loss of confidence among the neutrals that the parleys would cul- minate in an agreement.
 The sticking point, it is clear from even the German accounts, remains the con- til ued declination of the central powers to withdraw all their troops from occu- pied regions of Russia and their uncer- tain attitude regarding the return of the deported population before the question of self-determination is put. The Rus sians apparently are sticking just as firmly as ever to their demands along these lines.
 ITALIAN FRONT
 Only one spot on the military map is showing any activity out of the ordi- nary for midwinter, the right flank of the Italian river front, on the lower reaches of the Piave. Here the Aus trians have made a further effort to drive into the Italian lines near Capo Sile and wedge their way further toward Venice The latest assaults appear to have been no more successful than the other recent efforts, the Italians meeting the enemy with a devastating artillery fire and wiping out with many guns and rifles the few attachments that succeeded in getting across No Mans Land to the defensive barricades. -

CHIEF ARMY CONCERN

One of the chief concerns of the army is to prevent any delay to the aircraft programme which is distributed through large lumber of plants in all parts of the country.
 The shipping board sought and ob- taired exemption today for lumber mills producing timbers for the emergency fleet corporation. Deliveries of timber are far behind the schedule, and it was pointed out that if lumber manufacture was stopped ship plants would have to shut down.
 Many plants in various parts of the country which had been notified by gov ernment departments that they could continue operation were not permitted to run by local fuel administration off cials, who had not received notification from Washington. This confusion, 1t was said tonight, had been cleared mp and there would not be a similar recur- renee.
 Fuel administration officials said to- night they expected that the Monday closing would restrict the size of Sun day newspapers and increase the size of Monday editions. Advertisers, they said, probably woulf advertise heavily on Monday instead of on Sunday, because of the closing down of stores on Mon- day.
 Employers in many parts of the country were reported today willing to pay their workers for the time lost during the en- forced holidays. State fuel administra- tions were asked by Dr. Garfield to give public exhibition of his appreciation for their action

 LOOKING AFTER SHIPS
 The United States fuel administra- tion today made arrangements for the continuance through the usual Sunday holiday tomorrow of the bunkering of vessels destined to the American forces abroad or to the allies in Eu- rope.
 At the request of the fuel admins trator, the director general of rail- roads today placed an embargo on the use of open top coal ears for the ship ment of products other than fuel.
 "The fuel administration was noti- fled today that of 5000 cars of coal moving on railroads to the east 1000 were consigned to tidewater for bun kering ships and 2000 were on the way to domestic consumers.
 Federal fuel administrators report ed that coal was going rapidly into districts for domestic consumption, particularly those sections where the need was greatest.
 SITUATION IN VIRGINIA
 Harry F. Byrd, federal fuel ad. ministrator of Virginia, reported an almost complete shutdown of factories in his district with consequent relief from merchandise freight to the rail- roads serving Virginia ports. He said, in addition, that enough coal had been brought immediately into sight through the operation of the regula- tive order to supply the household de- mands.
 "Telegrams from county adminis- trators in Indiana, Illinois. Ohio and Mississippi valley states contained tho information that this part of thA country is getting warm
 This was taken to mean that quan- titles of coal held back by reason of tho congested conditions of the rail roads were now getting through to consignees.
 EXEMPTION LIST GROWS
 Despite the efforts of the fuel admin istration to hold down the already large exemption list it vas found necessary today to extend it considerably. The war and navy departments found that to keep running plants for which exemption al ready has been obtained many. concerns supplying single parts and raw materials will have to remain in full operation.
 The navy's problem arose particularly in connection with work on destroyers. It was found that worx on these craft would have tc be halted unless plants furnishing many small parts also are eX emptcd.
 To prevent an unnecessary extension of the exemption list, both departments today assigned officers to collect from their various technical bureaus lists of plants vital to their building and supply UNDERTAKINGS

PUBLISHERS URGE SUSPENSION
OF NEW ZONE SYSTEM.

Suspension OF the new zone sys-
tenn of increased second class postage
rates until year after the war was
urged at conference of representa-
tives of publishing associations and
labor leaders with the New York
State delegation in Congress.
John Adams Thayer, for the Pc
riodical Publishers Association, said
the zone plan, unless repealed or sus-
pended, would defeat it's own purpose
of collecting additional revenue by
putting thousands of magazines, pc
riodicals and farm papers out of bus
mess and increasing the subscription
prices of those that survive. He
said it would enlarge advertising
cost, deprive many advertising
agents, authors, artists and printers
of their livelihood; tend to dena-
tionalize the country, and stif1e the
great propaganda machine which has
supported the government in the war.
He presented a memorial to Congress
signed by the editors of the principal
American periodicals against the zone
plan
Frank Morrison, Secretary of the
American Federation of Labor, said
that organization favored repeal of
the postal zone plan and other labor
spokesman made similar statements.

BOURBON COUNTY OBSERVES
BUY COAL EARLY" WEEK.

Bourbon county people, generally,
took time by the forelock, also their
purses and check books by the throat,
and made their purchases in local
futures" by laying in supply for
the winter. Those who did not need
the black fuel for immediate pur.
poses had their orders placed on
the books as reserve supply for the
coming of winter. Local coal deal
erS state they were unable to supply
the demand, but did the best they
could under the circumstances.
The early buying program had a
good effect in the early part of the
week, and the close of the week,
which had been set aside by the fuel
administrators came in for it's share
of the hustle for coal. One reason
which aided as much as the patriotic
appeal of the Fuel Administration
for early buying of coal for domestic
uses that the entire forces of produc-
ton and shipment might be turned
toward supplying the manufacturing
plants of the Northern and Eastern
States, was the anticipated rise in
prices. Coal dealers are of the Opin-
ion that there will undoubtedly be a
decided rise in prices of coal follow
ing the already announced rise in
freight rates, as soon as this rate be-
come effective.
Mr.. James H. Thompson, Of Paris,
Chairman of the Bourbon County
Board of Fuel Administration, is urg
ing the people of the city and the
county to heed the warning of the
National Fuel Administration, that
unless coal is purchased now for do
nestle use, consumers must take their
own chances of obtaining it later on.
The members of the Fuel Administra-
ton in this county have expressed
their belief that the early buying
program has had good results here,
and that it will have the effect of
stimulating further purchases by the
tardy ones during the summer. By
this means it is hoped the coal fam
inc which caused discomfort last
winter, will not be repeated this win
ter. Mr.. Thompson and his associ-
ates have faithfully used every means
at their command to drive home to
our people the absolute necessity of
laying in stocks of coal for either
present or future delivery, and they
feel satisfied they have done their
best.

u. S. BUILDS 629 MERCHANT YES.
Sells IN FIVE MONTHS.

| WASHINGTON, June 13.-The
steady growth Of the American mer-
chant marine in all classes of vessels
was revealed Saturday for the first
| time since the war began in statistics
from the Department of Commerce,
showing that in the first five months
of this year there have been built
in this country and numbered official
ly by the Bureau of Navigation a total
of 629 vessels, Of 6S7,O55 gross tons.
The merchant feet of the United
States now amounts approximately to
100000 gross tons, not including
merchant craft under control of the
army and navy as transports and sup
ply ships. At the beginning of Janu-
airy, &C. vessels, of 9,343,224 gross
tons, were flying the Stars and Stripes
on trips across the Atlantic with food
and munitions, into the Caribbean and
Pacific with American products for
foreign customers and on the lakes
and rivers of this country as a part
of the nations domestic transporta-
ton system.
This tremendous fleet is second
only to the merchant tonnage of
Great Britain. 1t includes all the
new vessels built under the direction
OF the Shipping Board and thousands
OF other ships, smaller in individual
tonnage but greater in aggregate
carrying capacity, which play so large
part in commerce and the mainte-
nance of favorable balance of trade.
