GREATEST OPPORTUNITY

It was given to the women of this country to perform the greatest serv- ice in the winning of the war vouch- safed to any women in the history of the wars of the wOrld-to feed the warriors and the war sufferers.

CONFER ON SUPPLY

Administration Officials.
TO ANNOUNCE ITS POLICY

Federal officials, eastern railroad men
and coal operators Of Pennsylvania,
Maryland and West Virginia conferred
here today at the invitation of the fuel
administration to determine the best
means Of assuring an adequate supply
Of railroad fuel coal, and at the same
time conserve coal partiax adapted
cution of the war. &s
Disposition of 175. 900 900 tons Of Soal
is involved in the subject of railroad
fuel coal. : Some railroads are now
using Goals as locomotive fuel which
are urgently needed for other pur-
poses.
Would Discontinue Method.
The National Coal Association has
recommended that the present method
of special assignment of railroad cars
to mines for loading railroad fuel be
discontinued. The association believes
that the fuel administration, through
its district representatives. should pro-
vide from the available car supply in
supply of railroad coal. This recon-
mendation was before the conference
for consideration. After the confer
ence the fuel administration expects
to announce its policy with respect to
railroad fuel for the coming year.
Shortage Still Acute.
A statement issued from the Wash
ington headquarters of the National
Coal Association says the shortage of
bituminous coal still is acute and that
"eveh light cold snap is all that is
necessary to bring about a repetition
Of suffering" Production in January
was 5000. 900 tons short of January a
year ago and 6.O00.O0O below the out
put in January, 1916 The loss in pro-
duction is attributed solely to car
shortage. which forced thousands of
miners into idleness.
The proposed plan for an embargo
against shipments Of bituminous coal
from the lake docks to North and
South Dakota has been abandoned by
the fuel administration. because an
Investigation showed such a step would
be inadvisable at this time.

]APAN'S PROPOSAL
TAKESF|RST PLACE
Suggested Action in Siberia
0yershadows Won HertIing's
Speech in Minds of Officials.
WOULD SAVE RUSS STORES

Japan's proposal for sef1 n Siberia
has crowded German ChaneeIlor Won
Hertline's speech into second place in
the consideration of officials here, and
there were indications today that deci-
sious were being formed which soon
would show themselves in some arrange
ment of an international character to
prevent the vast stores at Vladiyostok
and control of the Transsiberian railway
from falling into 'the hands Of the ad-
vancang Germans
The expectation that President Will
son was planning to address Congress
very soon in reply to Won Hertlings s
speech was dissipated today by evil
dences that the President Is making no
such plans at this time. and probably
does not consider it necessary to reply
to the German chancellor. for the pres
ent at least. Before the President
speaks there doubtless win be an inter-
change Of views with London and Paris.
so that If Mr.. Wilson speaks he will ex-
press the view Of all the co-belligerents
as on previous occasions.
President Studies Question.
Outward indications today were that
the President was studying the ques-
tion of American participation with the
Japanese IN Siberia to the exclusion OF
other subjects.
II is admitted in official circles that
a radical. departure from established
rules of international law would be
involved in the forcible entry into a
neutral country. Consideration must
be given to the possible effect upon the
Russian people of such a course in their
relations to the present war. Already
there has been some apprehension that
great numbers of Russian soldiers.
rather than return to their farms and
shops, would voluntarily join the CEN
trail armies, and some evidence of a
foundation for this fear is found in
Berlin dispatches announcing the entry
into the German army of several regi-
ments of Esthonians.
Japan May Soon Act.
On tho other hand. growing indica-
tions that Japan cannot much longer
be restrained from taking some action
in Siberia are causing serious consid-
Grafton of the japanese invitation to
the .entente allies to participate. The
alternative would be to withhold from
Japan the cooperation she holds she
has the right to expect. and let her
undertake single-handed the weight of
the campaign in Siberia. and deal with
out counsel from the allies with the
large questions involved In the future
disposition of any territory on the Ash
attic mainland which she might occupy.
While no exact precedent has been
found for a Joint international move
ment in Siberia, it 10 believed that war :
rant may be found for it in the famous
Boxer campaign. when. without any
formal declaration of war on China,
several European powers united with
Peking, primarily planned 10 relieve the
Legations beset there by the Boxers,
but @lso designed to put down the state
Of anarchy which existed in that part
of China.
