AN ATLANTIC PORT. February 1s-
Brig. Gen. William v. Judson. formerly
head of the American military mission
to Russia and recently recalled by
Washington. arrived here today on a
Norwegian steamship.
Gen. Judson, then lieutenant colonel,
came into notice the early part of De-
cember by sending to the chief of staff
of the bolshevik government a note
saying that the United States was not
desirous of interfering with Russian
affairs and urging friendly relations
between the two countries. He also
was reported to have visited Trotzky
at bolshevik headquarters. acts which
were construed by Trotzky and a por-
ton of the Russian press as an indorse-
ment of the bolshevik government by
the United States.
Later it was announced by Ambassa-
dor Francis and also by the State De-
partment at Washington that Col. Jud-
son had acted without instructions.
Soon afterward announcement of his
recall was made at Washington. to-
gether with his promotion to the rank

Sound Of Gunfre.

From the London Chronicle.
These last few days the guns in
Flanders have been heard more plainly
than ever in the vicinity of London,
when, as it has been pointed out, the
wind being from the west, the sound
should have been less pronounced. If
not quite inaudible. On this point.
whether the wind carries the sound
or no, there was an interesting note in
a recent number of the Complies Rem
dus, in which NJ. Perot of Meudon
mentioned that at distance of 120
kilometers from the firing line the
sound was clearly heard with south
west, or contrary, wind, but that it was
not heard when the wind was favor
able-i.e., from the north or east.
His explanation was that the sound

COAL COMES, D|SPfLL|NG
DANGER Of FUEL CRISIS
Heatless Days Abolished and Wash
ington Has Normal Monday.
Plans for Future.

Receipts in Washington over Sunday
of both hard and soft coal were liberal,
and any immediate danger of short
age of fuel is removed. Other large
shipments are on the way. and If the
longer. Administrator Weaver said to-
day, the capital ought to be in position
to face with equanimity whatever the
weather man has in store.
With the Garfield heatless days abol-
ished the city today presented its nor
NAL Monday appearance. Stores were
crowded and did a rushing business,
and everywhere there was an air of
cheerfulness. Washington made the
sacrifice called for with q minimum Of
complaining. but every one is glad
that the ordeal is over.
Administrator Weaver is to hold a
conference tonight with the members
of his advisory committee. Distribu-
principal subject of discussion. The
national fuel administration now is
working on q plan which 1t hopes to
make applicable to the entire coun-
try. and it is not certain that Mr..
Weaver will be free to put into opera
ton in Washington the coal card sys-
tenn of rationing he has been figur-
ing on.
If final decision is left to state ad-
ministrators he will adopt the card
system, provided it meets the approval
of civic bodies and citizens generally.
Mr.. Weaver has no disposition, he said
to be arbitrary in the matter. All he
wants is to insure the city against a
repetition of conditions which have
been experienced this winter, and in
whatever plan to that end is adopted
he wants the cooperation of the
public.
