Corporal Christian S. Anderson,
Huns Attack Yankee Hospitals.

BY the Associated fIeSS.J
With the American Army in France.
May 27.-What apparently was
deliberate attempt to wreck American
hospitals in the rear Of American lines
in Picardy occurred Sunday after
noon when the Germans hurled high
explosives and gas shells within 200
yards OF the two hospitals. Fortunately
no damage was done.
BY q coincidence the bonIbardment
was going on while American funerals
were being held. Several shells fell
short distance from one funeral party.
German attempts to carry the war
fare to American sick and wounded
began about ten days ago. when, with
the advent Of new moon. enemy air
planes circled over the little villages
where it has long been known hos
pitfalls were located and dropped bombs.
Several civilians were injured In
recent air raid while not far from the
American hospitals. They were asleep
when the attack began, feeling secure
in theft proximity to the hospitals.
Much indignation has been caused
among soldiers and civilians over the
Sunday raid and bombardment.
The only comment OF the sick and
wounded American soldiers Is that
they want to get out as soon as the
doctors will permit so as to strike
back at the Huns.

,duction Must Reach 1885,.
100000 Net Tons to
Meet Demands.
INCREASE MUST BE
IN BI1UMINOUS COAL
Doubtful II Output of Anthracite Can
Be Made TO Exceed That Of Last
Year-Produoton Of 1917 Must Be
Increased by 100000 Tons to Meet
All Needs-Operators Warned 70
Speed Up Work.

Philadelphia, May 2s.-The prodne-
ton OF coal in the United States for
the year beginning April I must reach
735.o00,00O net tons. J. A. Morrow,
general director Of distribution OF the
United States fuel administration to-
day told the national coal convention
here.
This means an increase Of s5.00o.oo0
tons over the production for the coal
year 1917, II the war demands OF the
country are to be met. 1t Is doubtful.
Mr.. Morrow said IF the production OF
anthracite coal can be increased over
last years total Of ss.oOo.ooo gross
tons. Therefore the entire $4,000, 900
tons must come from the ottnminous
mines.
survey OF the war demands for
coal by the United States fuel admins
istration has shown that the country
will require during the present coes
year S35. .o0o. 900 net tons Of bitunlnoue
coal, Mr. Morrow said
During the last coal year the bitu-
minous coal production was 65l. eco 800
net tons. To meet these requirements
1t Will be necessary to maintain = net
weekly production OF 12.600.00o tons
bituminous. This quantity has nss
been produced In any single week In
the history Of the bItuminous coal in.
dustry.
April Output A7.oo0, 900 Tone.
Tho output OF the bituminons mines
for April. the first month Of tho new
coal year, was 100000 tons. Should
this rate of production be maintained
thruout the year. the total output
would be about 564 900. 900 tons.
Under present estimates OF necea-
sary consumption. the country at this
rate Of production would face short
age Of 100000 tons. Mr.. Morrow
said:
: 1--WE must therefore look to the btu.
minous mines for $4,000 600 more tons
than thoir regular output. You men
ask Immediately can the railways fur
nlsh transportation to move this tom
mage? That is question the railway
administration must answer. Our dis
trihution directors are in daily con-
ference with railroad officials to In
sure the best transportation OF coal.
Therefore 1t behooves the operators TO
stand prepared to deliver the coal
should the roads prove able to haul It."

[By the Associated Press.]

[By the Associated Press.1
With the French Army In, France
May 27.-Whether, the operation of the
Germans is to draw counter offensive
from the allies can not be ascertained.
The movement on the part of the en-
emy seems to be designed to capture
territory in order to claim victory to
improve the morale Of the German
public.
Both the French and British troops
are fighting with the greatest energy
and bravery, officers and men working
together in absolute harmony. The
allied commanders have the situation
well in hand and had prepared to meet
an attack In this region. The allies
hold a series of commanding hills.

total might approach the S150,00o. 900

Tabulations early today showed that
every division with the exception Of the
central had passed its quota. and every
state except Illinois had raised more
than its allotment. Heavy oversub-
scriptions In Iowa, Nebraska, wiscon-

division within $300,0o0 Of Its $4,000.

with the British Army in France,
May 2s.-British and French troops
this morning launched counter attack
in Flanders east of Dickebusch lake
The attack began well. Success would
make the enemy's assault Of yesterday
a complete and costly failure.
In yesterdays attacks In Flanders
between LocFs and Voormezeeles the
Germans are believed to have employed
four divisions on one part Of this front
measuring 5000 yards. The enemy
troops were punished SO severely that
the French on the right flank did not
even get to close quarters with them.
