A NOTICEABLE sTlFFENINe
 OF THE WHOLE ALLIED LINE
Has Resulted From Streams of Ameri-
 jeans Moving to the Front.

Washington. June 14.-Members of the house military committee at their weekly war department conference to- day were toid that the stream of Americans steadily moving to the front had resulted in a noticeable
 stiffening of the whole allied line. The Germans. it was said, apparently had encountered greater numbers than they
 expected to oppose their third great
 drive, and had suffered heavier losses
 than they probably had anticipated
 On the whole, the legislators were ing features in the present situation ! on the western front.
 Among 2 her things disclosed was
 the fact that Major General Henry1L l.. I>iggett. has been selected to become corps commander when the American forces reaches that strength, and to ccrlmand the first American field
 army when it is organized. That Gen. Liggett would be chosen has been generally understood at the war de- partment but there has been no an- nouncement of the subject He com mands the forces in the field now. These force. not including troops brigaged with the British and French
 comprise two complete divisions, full ly equipped and operating under l French corps commanders. Many if- | teresting facts were given the con-
 gressmen about American artillery at | the front and other phases of Ameri- can participation in the fighting which must be treated as military se- | crets.

The attempted drive by the armies Of the German crown prince toward Paris seems definitely to have been checked. With thousands of their men having been fed to the guns on the Montdidier- -Noyon and Soisson- Nillers~Cotterets sectors in the mad rush to pierce the allied lines in these regions and thus gain fair way to the French capital, the manoeuvers of . tEe German commanders apparently have brought 10 the German arms nothing more than the obliteration of the Noyon salient and the capture of .. few unimportant positions south west of Soiseons- near the outskirts of the NillersCctterets forest.

GOAL SITUATION DISCUSSED AT A. P. OF L. CONVENTION
Miners Say Shortage Probably Will Be More keenIy Felt Next Winter

St. Paul, Minn. June 14.-The coal shortage probably will be more keen ly felt this winter last last, according to representatives of the United Mine Workers Union of America, who are attending the. annual convention of the American Federation of Labor. Discussion of the coal situation arose late today after resolution request ing the federation to lend it's efforts to obtain coal for the New England district had been adopted.
 The adoption of resolution asking congress to derive funds for carrying on the war from taxation rather than from bond issues, was the outstanding feature of a session marked by the disposal of nearly twenty-five reso- lutions
 Other, resolutions on which favor able action was taken included measures asking that suitable hous- ing conditions be provided for work CTS in industrial centers, means fo1 eliminating labor spies. alleged to be employed by some large corporations and the establishment of a minimum wage scale for government employees Resolutions calling upon the United States to consider and take irnmediatt action on the woman suffrage bill al so were unanimously adopted by thu convention.
 In an attack on the national fue
 administration, Joseph D. Cannon o New York. charged that although th'
 suffering in New York was called tt
 the attention of officials in Wash
 ington last winter. no effort was mad
 to provide coal.
 Several officers of the Mine Work
 CTS Union, including Secretary W
 Green, placed the blame for last win
 ter's coal shortage on the railroads

 Seemingly it is not improbable that Field Marshal Haigs forces will be asked again to measure their strength against the Germans, and that the territory near Arras or in the Secar- pose, or before both positions, may be chosen by the Germans as the thea ire.

DRASTIC EMoNoMIEs IN
 THE USE OF COAL
Must Be Observed at Electric Light
 and Power Plants.

Atlantic City. N J.. June IT, Members Of the National Electric Light Association in convention here, were told today by Charles F.. Stuart, of the United States Fuel administra- ticn. that plans for conservation of power supply call for the most dras- tic economies in the use of coal.
 These, he pointed out. are to be ef- fected by the application of skip-stop to railways, regulations of carpetins and lighting, economy of power and light in factories. utilization of eX- cess water and inter-connection of power systems; limiting power tC plants and economies in the refriger- ating and ice manufacturing indus try.
 These results are to be procured through a force of engineers.
