The Nation Must Have Better Coal.

What has become of our American
efficiency that both the Bureau Of
Mines and people in general should find
it necessary to lay such stress upon the
exceptionally poor grade Of fuel that is
being given the railways to haul and
our industries to use. Now as never
before should our industries have the
best coal obtainable and our railways
relieved of hauling $4,000, 900 tons per
year of worthless dirt and slate. E. G.
Bailey in q lecture recently before the
John Hopkins University, refers to the
percentage of ash and impurities in the
coal we are now receiving as ''sand in
the bearings of transportation. And
such it is, clogging our transportation
system with 100000 more car loads a
year than if the normal attention was
given TO cleaning coal. The remedy
suggested by Mr.. Bailey is to give a
premium to those mines which produce
the best coal. The consumers would
be glad to pay it, for the loss in effic-
iency and the increased cost of main
tenance caused by poor coal costs more
in the long run than if higher price
were paid for the better grade of coal.
Price fixing has resulted in the work
ing of mines that had previously been
abandoned on account of the poor grade
of coal produced. 1t has eliminated
competition and with it the incentive
for the production of good coal. More
attention must be paid to the quality
of the fuel

AMERICA ASKS ALL NATIONS TO APPEAL
 ID THE BOLSHEV|K|
Republican A. P. ceased wireI

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-Horrified by the bloody reign of terror in Rus sia, the United States today called up- on all allied and neutral nations to consider what they may do to impress upon the bolsheviki the aversion with which the civilized world regards their wanton crimes.
 By direction of President Wilson, Secretary Lansing dispatched instruc tions to every American diplomatic representative in the foreign capitals.
 The action aligns the United States with that of Great Britain and France in declaring the bolsheviki responsible for the murders, crimes and excesses which shave shocked the world, outlaws and public enemies.
 Quite Apart From War
 Whatever action may be decided up on by the nations, separatedly. or in concert, it is made clear will be quite apart from the prosecution of the war against Germany.
 The reported action of the holsheviki in effecting an alliance with Germany for offense and defense is an added cause for the step.
 Tell of RevoItinq Acts
 Official reports from Russia, many
 
 recited revolting acts that have as- founded and shocked the world. The reign of terror has already greatly hin- dered the efforts of the United States to alleviate an impending famine ;n Russia. as it is impossible to furnish much needed supplies to that part of the country under bolheviki control with out actually feeding the German army and the German populace. It is con : ceded that there is enough food in southeastern Russia and western Si- beria to feed all the Russian people if a means of distribution could be eff fected to keep the supplies from falling into the German hands. Secretary Lansing today reiterated that the efforts of American troops d Vladivostok and archangel were solely to aid the Czecho- Sloyaks to save Russia for the western front and not to establish an eastern battle front or in any way to o'interfere with the inter- nal affairs in Russia.

FURTHER GROUND |S
 GAINED BY FOURTH ARMY IF BR|T|SHERS
WITH THE BRITISH FORCES IN

WITH THE BRITISH FORCES IN FRANCE, Sept 21, ) p. m.-(By the Associated Press) The British fourth army succeeded in gaining further ground today in the Hindenburg out post system northwest of St. Quentin. This gain was made in the face of stubborn resistance, the Germans fighting hard at every point through out the day.
 Progress has been made in spite of the bad weather and some 400 prison CTS have been taken from the forti fled farms and sunken roads between fthe new British battle front and the Siegfriend trenches.
 Form During Storm.
 It rained heavily during the night and at the time of the assembling of the assaulting troops. but the con centration was carried out without de- lay under a heavy bombardment. The enemy was plainly apprehensive of a further defeat and his divisions were waiting for the British advance.
 The ground over which the battle was fought was broken and very diff | ficult to clear. The gullies were full of machine guns and a slight ridge which stood between the advancing British and the Hindenburg defenses gave the enemy considerable ad- vantage.
 During the night local attack on the front of La Bassee yielded the chateau and ruins of the church of the village of Violaines, which is less than a mile northwest of La Bassee, to- gether with 130 prisoners.
 Germans Test British.
 Between La Bassee and Lens the enemy shows great nervousness. A hostile attack delivered yesterday around Hulluch was intended to test the British strength.
 The thorough clearance of the ruins of Moeuvres, on the Canal Du Nord, has released party of Scottish ma chine gunners, who had been cut off since the German counter attack into the village Wednesday night. A cor poral and six men of the Highland light infantry. although wholly sur rounded by Germans. held out, fighting continuously for 4S hours and inflict- ing severe casualties on the enemy who was unable to dislodge them.
 The Scots were nearly exhausted for lack of food and water when their British comrades drove back into the ruins and found them still crouched around their machine guns

 Test for Airship Service; Dwight B. Heard Back, Tells of War Work

Dwight B. Heard, who accompanied by Mrs. Heard and his son Bartlett, re- turned from the east yesterday, said:
 "The thing that impresses one most in the east is the spirit or real service that has taken hold of the American people. A couple of years ago one of the most distressing sights in New York was to see the ostentation of the idle rich. Today it is mark of dis grace unless everyone, rich or poor, is engaged in some definite kind of war work, and a real and new spirit of de- mocracy seems to be taking hold of the people. Our national melting pot is actually beginning to melt.
 Women Leaders in War Work
 "The way the women are responding to the call of national service is an inspiration to the men. Women of the very highest efficiency are now to be found in all the government depart ments, are doing the very best type of secretarlal work, are running mo- tor cars for the war and navy depart ments and Red Cross; running ele- vators, driving ambulances, serving as l of men in the baggage rooms and doing more than their full share of national service with an efficiency and courage that will forever be a credit to this nation.
 "The old men of the country are com | ing back and one sees them everywhere | taking the places of the younger men. talked one day with an elevator man who was cheerfully doing his bit in | the department of agriculture and who was talking of how he wanted to make ] it easier for the younger men.

LONDON, Sept. 21.-The British again have advanced their lines cast of Epehy and near Hargicourt, midway between St. Quentin and Cambrai, according to Field Mar shal Haig's communication issued tonight. A number of additional prisoners were taken.
 The text of the communication follows:
 In a minor operation undertaken by us this morning cast of Epehy English troops successfully ad vanced their line after heavy fight ing. Strong opposition was en- countered at all points, and later in the day the enemy launched a number of counter attacks of con- siderable strength. In spite of this resistance our troops made sub stantial progress on the whole of the front of their attack.
 Tn conjunction with the attack the Australian troops made further progress in a completely successful operation in the Hargicourt sector, capturing a number of prisoners.

St. Quentin Capture Near

St. Quentin, as a result of the week. operations, is in a more serious posi- ton from the enemy view point thar probably at any time since the begin ming of the war. A further push east ward by the British from their newly won height positions on the northwest will virtually place the allies on three sides of the town. St. Quentin is an important outpost of Laon, perhaps tine most important enemy base in north ern France. The French on the south are 10 miles from Laon and are ham mering it, with their big guns.
 Germans Busy at Metz
 Southwest of Metz. where the French and Americans recently cleared the St Mihiel salient, the Germans have started further fires. Soldiers and wor on trains have been seen moving northward and it is believed the Ger mans are preparing for a possible all lied attack or a retirement on their own initiative. Elsewhere on the west ern front there has been no change in the situation.
 Macedonian Stroke Grows
 The allied stroke in central Mace donia which opened with the expulsion of the Bulgarians from the important Sokol position, is developing success fully on a wide front. Further progress by the Serbs towards the Vardar river and the Uskub- Salonil<i railroad par alleling it probably will bring about a readjustment of the Austro- German and Bulgarian positions throughout this whole theater.
 Serbs Close to River
 With the Serbs within nine miles of 1 the railroad and the river, the only af- | tery of communication for the enemy troops around Lake Doiran, it seems within the range of possibility that iile railroad can be cut. From Krnyovo Demirkapu, on the railroad, the terrain is favorable and by pressing toward the Vardar the Serbs can outflank Pri- lep and make Doiran. Southeast of Prilep the Serbs are in the foothills of the Drenska Planina, height position protecting the town on the south.
 Ten More Towns Freed
 Additional Bulgarian prisoners nave been taken by the Serbs, who also have liberated 10 more towns. The British and Greeks continue their pressure in the Doiran region but evidently their activity is mainly for the purpose of keeping the enemy occupied so that ne cannot send aid to the front further west.
