Georges reference in his sncech to this
country's insistence that the Inter-Al.
lied War Council should have executive
power caused no surprise in Washing
ton. The Administration has for LONG
time taken an advanced position in fla.
vor of unity of command over inter
Aiiled operations. Originally it urged
the appointment of a single head of the
Allies.
There is reason to believe that LLOYD
George committed himself in Paris
right after the Italian disaster to a
generalissimo of the Allied forces.
probably French generalissimo. When
he returned to London he found British
sentiment so strongly against any in
terference with the prerogatives of
both Haig and Robertson that he re-
treated from this position and eX
planned that the Inter-Allied War
Council. which had been created, would
nave purely advisory functions.
This settlement of the question had
10 be accepted for the time. 1t was not
satisfactory to this country. 1t was
not satisfactory to Lloyd George him
SELF. 1T was not satisfactory to Lord
Northcliffe, who has since condnctod

the British High Command. which has
maze It possible for Lloyd George to
take his next step forward and at IFS

LOCAL men TO
DISCUSS. COAL
WITH !. BAKER
Threatening Shortage Ne
cessitates Action in
This City.

The coal supply committee Of the
Commercial club held a meeting this
morning delegating M. F. Murphy and
l.. Stinson to go to Fargo to attend a
conference of commercial organiza-
lions of the state. Fuel Administra-
tor Isaac A. Baker Of Bismarck will
be present at the conference and dis
cuss the situation with representative
business men from various parts of
the state.
The meeting Of the committee to-
day was held for the purpose of
agreeing on ways and means of solv-
ing the difficult problems that have
come up in connection with the
threatening coal shortage, and it was
brought out during the progress of
the meeting that eastern coal received
SO far is absolutely inadequate to
meet the demand.
Even the Optimists among the COM
mtttee members came to the conclu-
sion that although the situation might
improve somewhat the outlook for a
sufficient supply Of coal from the
head Of the Great Lakes was not very
encouraging, and for this reaso It
was thought necessary to ask citizens
to prepare to use as much Ignite dur
ing h coming winter as they possibly
can. y7
However, definite action will be
held in allegiance until the representa-
tives selected for a conference with
Capt. Baker today, have returned
from Fargo and filed their report.
