COAL ZONES FORMED
FOR BETTER DELIVERY
Purpose Is to Bring About improved
Distribution and Increased
Production.

Minneapolis, March 22.-Zoning dis.
tricts, for better distribution and in.
creased production of bituminous coal
in the United States during the year
beginning April 1, were announced
last night jointly by Fuel Administra-
tor Garfield and Director General Nc
Adoo. Further details of the plan in
Minnesota were given out by John
f. MCGEE, federal fuel administrator
for Minnesota. |..
More than a score Of separate zones
are laid out. They plan a direct
scheme of delivering coal to the near
est consuming points, intended to
eliminate useless hauling of thousands
Of miles which competition hereto
fore existing among the coal produc-
ers made necessary.
The purpose is to do away with
the cross haul of coal as much as pos
sible. The general effect of the sys-
tenn, the fuel administration says, is
to restrict eastern coal to eastern
markets and to fill the vacancy in GEN.
trail and western states with nearby
coal produced in those states.

AMERICANS OUTSIDE ZONE
OF GERMAN OFFENSIVE
Nothing So Far Reported Of Any At
tacks on Lines Held BY the
v. s. Troops.

2 London. March 22.-Nothing has
been reported as to attacks on the
lines held by the Americans. 1t had
been expected that the Germans would
make an assault on the American
held trenches in the Lorraine and
Toul sectors, acting on the theory
that troops which have not had ex-
perience in engagements of the first
degree might be found to yield easier
than veterans. That such an attack
might yet be launched and with only
slight artillery preparation is within
the possibilities.
The activity in the American sec.
tors during the past three weeks
would indicate that the Germans have
been concerned with the disposition
Of General Pershing's legions, their
probable strength and the locations
of the batteries supporting the in.
fantry holding the lines.

BIG CARGO CRUISERS TO
BE BUILT BY AMERICA
Ten Great Merchant Ships To Be
Added To u. S. Fleet ~.
Soon.

Washington. March 22.--Construc.
tion of 10 ships of $4,000 tons each,
to be the biggest cargo carriers in the
American merchant marine, has been
recommended by Chairman Hurley of
the Shipping board and work on the
designs has been begun.
Secretary Redfield recently sug-
gested that board begin building
larger ships, now that the construc.
tion of smaller vessels is under way
satisfactorily. Craft of the new design
probably will be built in some of the
old yards which are equipped for
building large vessels for the navy.
They cannot be laid down for several
months.
One advantage of the big ships will
be a great increase in carrying capa-
city, without corresponding increase
in the crews. ~,

NO AUTHORITY FOR LETTER
COTTON SAYS DURAND WROTE
PACKERS WITHOUT LEAVE.
States Aim of Meat Division Has
Been To Pay Fair Price To
Cattle Feeders.

Washington, March ga letter to
the Cudahy Packing company from E.
Dana Durand, formerly head of the
economics department of the Uni
versity of Minnesota, Jan. Is, direct
ing that the price of meat to feeders
be kept down, was written without the
authority of J. p. Cotton, head of the
meat division of the food administra-
ton, Mr.. Cotton told the senate agri-
cultural committee. ......
Mr.. Cotton said it had been his en-
deavor to pay fair price to cattle
feeders.
Stock raisers before the committee
charged that Durand. as representa-
tive of the food administration, pur-
chasing meat for the Allies, arranged
with packers to limit he price Of
meat at a time when large purchases
were being made for the Allies.
Durand said he told the packers that
the large order to the British govern
ment could not be placed except at
existing prices, but that the state
ment attributed to him that prices
must be kept down was a misrep-
resentatiop."
The committee questioned Durand
regarding his association with the
packers before his connection with
the food administration.
He replied that he had a great deal
to do with writing a report on the
packing industry which absClved the
industry from charges made in a con-
gressional resolution.

Milwaukee, Wis.,, March 22.-Mar-
tial law may be demanded in Wiscon-
sin by the County Council of Defense
if Socialist candidates for mayor and
senator are elected April 2.
This was strongly intimated by
Wheeler P. Bloodgood. vice chairman
of the County Conucil of Defense, in
a formal statement in which he de-
clared Milwaukee loyalists were ready
to meet even revolution, if necessary,
to prevent the Socialists from taking
office.
mo man standing upon such plat
form (the Socialist) should be permit
ted to take office" ran the statement.
'If the people see fit to elect such
men, there must be an appeal to the
federal authorities"
Mr.. Blodgood's statement, issued in
answer to an editorial in a morning
newspaper, points out that Milwaukee
gave Thompson, the La Toilette Re-
publican candidate at the primaries,
and Mr.. Berger, more votes than were
given all three "professed loyalty
candidates combined" 1t says:
"The vote for Mr. Berger and Mr..
Hoan means that Milwaukee county.
will, in the eyes of the world, be con-
sidered a province of the German i'm
perial government and should be treat
ed as SUCH"
Withdrawal of the Republican or
Democratic nominee from the Wiscon-
sin senatorial contest probably will
be asked at the conference of the
Wisconsin Loyalty Legion.
