the decrease in tho hay crop Of 5000. 900

bushels against 202, 000. 900 last year.
This quantity, when added 10 the United

INVASION ONLY BEGUN IS SOME JUSTIFICATION
Officials Say Use of Agents Was
Found Necessary.
Securing U. S. Contracts Through Mid.
dlemen Declared Improper Though
Partly Justified.

Washington, June 22.-Offcials of
the department of justice, after examl-
nation Of correspondence seized from
offices of illegal contingent fee agents,
are convinced that although the sys-
tenn by which middlemen obtained
contracts for manufacturers is improp.
er and undesirable, it had certain JUS
LITIGATION because of the difficulty ex-
perienced by many contractors in max
the bureaus or departments having
ing connections in Washington with
charge of contracts for articles they
manufactured.
For this reason the department of
justice is making special efforts to
formulate a new method for supplying
adequate information on. all govern,
ment needs to manufacturers and to
MAKE the services Of contract agents
entirely unnecessary. In this connec-
ton, the navy system Of publishing
periodically what it desires to buy is
under close examination, and some
features may be extended to the war
department.
Fee Agents Praised.
Letters have been received from
contractors who were clients of the
contingent fee agents and who praised
their services, saying they had been
unable even by repeated personal trips
to Washington to make connections
with the army officers Supervising pur
chase Of materials they produced. OF
ficials admit also that a few of the
contract brokerage houses conducted
business in an apparently open man
ner without seeking to use sinister
influences with government represen
tatives.
The greater proportion of letters
which have flooded the department
this week are from contractors whi
condemn the middlemen.

Fuel Administration Takes Steps
To Prevent Shortage in the
Northwest.
ANTHRACITE IS SCARCE
Twenty-eight Million Tons of Bitumi.
nous Coal Will Be Shipped to the
Head of the Lakes, Four Mil
Lion Tons for Canada

Washington, June 22.-It spite OF
the fact that the hard coal supply
has been cut by the fuel administra.
ton, there will be a liberal supply
of soft coal in Minnesota and the
Northwest next winter.
1t was announced that arrangements
had been made to allow the shipment
of 5000, 900 tons of bituminous coal to
the head of the Great Lakes. This
is declared to be a generous allot-
ment.
The action was taken following a
conference between j. F. MCGEE, Min
necota fuel administrator, and officials
100000 Tons to Canada.
Four million toGs of this allotment
will be forwarded to Canada to safe
guard the Canadian Northwest from
suffering a threatened coal famine.
The remaining "a, 1000, 900 tons will
be apportioned to the section usually
fed by Great Lakes shipping. Most
of this fuel will be loaded at Lake Erie
ports and will be rushed during the
summer months into the northern lake
in order to release the railway SHIP
ping for other traffic.
1t is expected that the movement
will be completed by October after
which time the major portion OF tie
supplies of Michigan and Ohio will be
handled by the lake steamers before
the close of navigation.
To Ask for Hard Coal.
Judge MCGEE will take up the sub
ject Of anthracite coal with A. S. Lea.
royd of the Department of Fuel All
ministration. Judge MCGEE expressed
the confident hope that Minnesota
would receive it's fair allotment of an
thracite. Heretofore there has been 6
disposition to refuse anthracite Goa
for Minnesota.
One Of the difficulties which western
fuel administrators are meeting ha!
in the demands which Nel.' England Ii
making for coal. That section pro
fesses it was denied its fair allotmcn
last year and is more tnan making VI
for 1t this year. The general shortag'
of antracite and the transportation
difficulties are also aiding in making
1t difficult for the West to get it
share.
Plans are on foot to make each In
dividual a saver Of fuel by savin
light. t is proposed to make one ligh
do where several performed servic
before in hotels, private homes and i
electric street signs. It is propose
to turn the electricity thus saved int
power and thus make use Of the coz
conserved.

Germany Is Preparing to Add
Austria Hungary to the
Kaiser's Empire.
PLAYS SHREwD GAME
Berlin Seeks Vengeance for Austria's
Peace Intrigue With the Entente
Powers and Is Taking Advant-
age of Present Internal
Disturbances.

Rome, June 24.-The vision In
which the military Machiavellis in
Berlin revel as m of the most
GLORIOUS victories of the whole war"
Is Austria, starving and defeated, or
that, with not a friend outside to
turn to, absolute submission to Prus.
sian dominion will be the last straw.
For then, and not until then, will
be fulfilled the two aims that the
Prussian overlords have been of late
planning and plotting with super, zeal
and that are haunting Emperor
Charles like nightmares in the midst
OF his hopeless battle with the raging
sea Of revolt at home. These two
aims are:
l. Ful1llment of the ka;ser's oath
to wreak vengeance for his ally's
peace intrigue with the Allies.
2. Compete absorption Of Austria.
Hungary as part and parcel of the
German empire with elimination "even
of the boundaries" as vice chancellor
Won Payer recently was uncautious
enough openly to put it.
Germany's New Policy.
But there is a larger issued involved
in Germany's plan towards Austria
Hungary than the lust for vengeance.
1t is a new policy, so far played
shrewdly in the dark, unfortunately,
but evidently destined to reveal it.
self in. the full light Of day.
These ideas, this new policy, no
longer eliminate, however. in the aim
of breaking loose" from Austria, but
in the plight of the new circumstances
find their ultimate goal In absorbing
that country altogether and wiping
her out as an Independent power.
All doubts that Ludendorf is actual
ly Germany's dictator, not only in
military respects, but i'll the economic
field as we'll, were removed by The
news that it was he tc whom the
Vienna mayor addressed The plea for
food. Ludendorff's answer too, is sig
nificant. 1t is another pointed to the
ultimate objects, outlined above. .
Ludendorff Another Bismarck.
In the midst of the Fra1co-Prussian
war, Bismarck worked and fought
tooth and nail for what he thought
more vital even than victory in the
ield-the amalgamation of the Ger.
man states into a federation dominat.
ed by PRUSSIA, the keystone to the
dream of world power. Ludendorff
who shows all the earmarks Of trying
to play a Bismarckian roe in the al.
fairs Of the welcomed Mitteleuropa,
thus appears in the lign. Of Austria's
executioner when the proper time

Prussia's domain.
