ARKANSAS WINTER FUEL QUESTION IS
 ONE Of ANXIETY
State Fuel Administrator Asserts Now Is Time to
 Buy Winter Supply.
(By H c. Couch, State Fuel Adm. )

(By H c. Couch, State Fuel Adm ) Little Rock, Sept. 17.-Winter is approaching. The Fuel situation continues to be one of anxiety and serious consideration and the neces- sity for preparation for time when the temperature reaches a point that use of gas by industries must be dis continued, seems more apparent than ever before.
 There has been a patriotic response by the domestic consumers to the numerous warnings by the Fuel Ad- ministration, but the insufficient de- mand for slack coal indicates that the steam plants have not taken ad- vantage of the opportunity to build up sufficient reserves to insure their operation later on.
 1t requires no argument to sus- tain the anxiety on the part of the Fuel Administration when it is taken into consideration the large amount of additional coal that will be re- quired to sustain an army in France that it is proposed to increase from l 1,500,000 to 4,OO0,00O men.
 The State Fuel Administration is
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1918-09-20

endeavoring to provide a market for Anthracite slack from the Bernice and Spadra fields to insure the con- seryation of 10000 tons of this slack to assist in relieving the 100,- 900 .OOO tons shortage that is now estimated for this winter. Since the announcement was made ot the plan devised by the Arkansas Fuel Ad- ministration and approved by Dr. Gar field with reference to solving the production of Anthracite prepared sizes and the taking over of the sur
 plus slack by the Fuel Administration
 with view of undertaking to
 create a market for this slack, many enquiries have been received from managers of industrial plants inter- ested in the proposition of securing cheaper fuel, and at the same time indicating a willingness to aid the
 government in the undertaking to utilize this slack, and incidentally to aid the Civilian Activity for win ming the war.
 The steam users can help by ar ranging to equip their plants to burn Anthracite slack, and in doing so, insure an ample supply of coal to 1 operate through the winter without restrictions that may be placed upon them later.
 With low freight rate, due to the short haul to plants within the state and the relatively small cost
 of the special equipment needed to
 enable the plants to burn slack, it
 will prove the most economical fuel
 for this purpose that can be pro-
 vided in the state.
 Last winter when Lake transpor-
 tation was discontinued on account of severe weather conditions, manufac- turing plants of Chicago utilized 25
 cars per day of Anthracite slack being willing to pay the high freight rates to secure same. Therefore, 1t does not seem unreasonable to urge the steam plants within the state to consider, seriously, equipping for the
 use of this slack and prepare now be-
 fore it is too late.
 Those interested in this proposition to use Anthracite slack are invited
 to correspond with, or interview per-
 sonally, MT. E. V. Everett, manager
 of the Municipal Light Plant of Con- way, who has installed special equip ment and is using this slack effec- lively. AAAxsN

 Washington, Sept. 1S.-How the N-on hand of tho German general staff was extended into Finland through the Gerraan-paid Russian Bolsheviki government is pictured in tCday's installment of recent docu- ments brought out of Russia for the American government.
 There are also sonlo preelntory notes from the German military in- telligence service to .Trotzky. then the Bolsheviki foreign minister. tell ng more of the story Of the suppress sion of revolutionary propaganda in Russian provinces after 1t had played its part in throwing the provinces into German control.
 When the Bolsheviki were slow about opening the way for complete sway for their masters in Finland, the German intelligence service had "the honor'' to remind them that the withdrawal and disarm:ng of the Russian Red guard in Finland must be commenced immediately.
 Furthermore, the Russian agents were directed to send to Finland q trusty guard to deal with Yarvo Haa- palainen, Chief of the Finish White Guard, who was disposed to be loyal to his country.
 This, Edgar Sisson, who procured the documents. explains in note accounts for the sudden withdrawal of the Red Guard last March, leaving Finland to her fate.
 Some of the Russians resisted dis a o hnyf A series of court orders from the intel liEcnce service to Trotzky calls for the removal of all agitators from the Ukraine, Estlhnd, Litva and Cour- land, and for the restoration of rights and property to German landlords who had been declared outlawed in

To Kief are assigned the following, who have been hired at Helsingfors: s. Smiroff and Rigamann. To Odessa, Brack and Schulkovich.-For the Chief of the Counter espionage; Com missar, c. MoshlOv.
 NOTT.-Tyhis is an assassination compact between Bolsheviks and an- archists. Antonoff, if one of the chief Bolshevik military leaders, is credited with the taking of Petrograd and was in charge of the operations against Alexieff and Kaledin. The list of anarchists include several notorious characters.

'(Counterespionage atthe Stavka, Mo-
 All, Jan. 27, 1918.)
 To the COmmisson of Combating the Counter-Revolution: By us here there has been received report from Finland, from Grishin and Bak- hi of the counter-revolutionar ac- tivity of the lawyer, Jonas Kastren This Eastern, in the years 1914-15 re- cruited on German funds Finnish volunteer regiments and sent them to Germany. For facintating the work of recruiting he represented himself as Socialist-Maximalis and promised support to the Work ers' Red Guard.d In his office many of our comrades found cordial re- ception and material support Kast- ren furnished to Russia German money for the propaganda of Bolshe- vism in Russi. He had already es- tablishcd in 1916 a division of the German General Staff in Helsingfors. Now he, together with Svinhuvud. Ernroth, and Nandelschtedt, is on the side of the White Guards and is aid ing them with money, supplies, and arms. We are informed that Kastern works both with German and Eng lishmoney. It is necessary immed- lately to cut short the work of Jonas Kastern and his group. The com mander in chief advise to call to PetrOgrad the Finnish comrades, Rakhi and Pukko, or order Grishin to Hensingfors.-Comm A. Siy- ko.
 NOTE.-Kastren was still alive when spent week in Helsingfors in March, but he added to his chances of longevity by fleeing in early Feb ruary to the White Guards headquar- ters at Vesa. The order for his re- moval came too late. Again we see Germany playing with both sides in Finland at the same time.

 To the Chairman of the Peoples Council of Commissars: The Rus sian section of the German General Staff has received an urgent report from our agents at NovocherEask and Rostoff that the friction which has arisen between them. Alexieff and Gen. 'Kaledin, after which the volun- teer corps of Gen. Alexieff began the movement to the north, is a tactical step to have base in the rear. In this way the army of Gen. Alexieff will have a reliable rear base pro- tected by Cossack troops for supply ing the army and base in case of an overwhelming movement on the part of the enemy# The'communica- tions of Gen. Alexieff with the Polish troops have been proved by new re- ports ofthe Polish Bolshevik com missar, Shuk and Dembitsky.-Chief of the Division of General staff, O. Rausch; senior aid, R. Krieger.
 NOTE-Important as showing that the Germans had real fear of the military possibilities in the Alexieff- Kaledn movement. The suicde oi Gen. Kaledin at a moment of depres- sion. following betrayals that un. doubtedly were carefully plotted, was tragically a part of the great national tragedy.
