WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.--Fuel Admin
istrators in New England appealed TO
DR.. Garfield to-day to curtan the amount
OF coal which is being shipped into that
section for winter purposes. Conserva-
ton measures together with equitable
distribution have reduced the needs Of
the six States from 100000 tons to
about 100000 tons.
The mild fall weather has caused con-
siderable saving in coal while the larger
utilization OF electric power for manu-
featuring, especially in Massachusetts,,
Rhode Island and Connecticut, has less
ened the amount of coal needed for in
dustries. The shortage of coal in New
England last winter caused many fac
tories to close down and resulted in Sc

HOWARD EXPLAINS

President of United Press
Tells of Filing Message
From Brest.

The United Press received yesterday
the following cablegram from Roy w.
Howard. president Of the United Press,
filed from Brest. France:
Admiral Wilson's statement tells the
whole story. The Admiral gave me per-
sonally and a Brest paper a bulletin
stating that the armistice had been
ance that the information>was official

manner at the Brest post Office (French
post offices are also the telegraph Of
fices) for the French censorship. I
learned yesterday that in the excitement
due to the newspaper announcing the
armistice my message did not reach the
censors until after the text had been
cabled to New York.
81 am personally convinced that Ad-
miral Wilson was assured that his bull
letin was official and that he acted in
absolute good faith. I do not know who
was responsible for the Admirals mis-
information. My own part was merely
