COAL PRODUCTION
SETS new RECORD
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12-More coal
was mined from April 1 to September
% than ever before in any half year
period in the history of the American
coal industry.
This production record, the fuel ad
ministration announced today, was
established in the face of many handi-
caps, chief of which was the shortage
of help. From $4,000 to $4,000 miners
were indicted into military service,
while probably as many others left the
mines to work in war industry plants
Despite this loss, however, bitumin-
GUS tonnage was 81, 216,000, or twelve
per cent more than was turned out in
the corresponding period last year, re-
garded then as a top mark. Anthra-
cite production was $751; 900 tons, an
increase of 81 per cent.
There would have been a still great
er output, the administration said, ex-
cept for the epidemic Of Spanish in
fluenza in many of the mining dis
tricts in the east last month.
By working more regularly than
ever before, the announcement said
miners who remained were able to Off
set the loss in man power. Respond
ing tn appeals to their patriotism, they
worked full days and gave up many
holidays and vacations they were &C
customed to take in the past.

sign because he had interferred dur
ing the formation of the new cabinet
in manner which aroused the indig-
nation of the majority parties of the
reichstag. Erzberger says that this
makes it evident that militarism has
been forever removed from Germany.
Asked whether he would promote
the principles of league of nations,
ErZberger replied:
THAT is just what l mean to do.
States must altogether desist from the
application of force in the settlement
of international disputes. This natur.
ally will mean that they must re-
nounce part of their sovereignty, but
they may obtain, through the league,
mutual protection against arbitrary
force"
Arguing that all states must unre.
servedly submit their disputes to ar.
bitra ton, Erzberger says that the
league of nations must establish an
organization of imperial courts and
guarantee the execution of verdicts
by those tribunals. Members of these
courts, however, must always be ap.
pointed with the consent of the peo
pies concerned, so that all nations will
have confidence in the actions of the
courts, he says Belgium has been
wronged by Germany and reparation
is DUE" ErZberger admits, but he
adds: at is question of law and
must be settled III legal manner by
means of a court of arbitration set up
by league of nations"
Erzberger concludes by saying that
he has always held these views and
would not have Joined the government
if he had not been convinced that the
government shares them.

KEEP CHURCH WORK
GOING, CITY URGED

A. F. Mitchell, chairman OF the press
committee Of the Ministerial assoc1a-
ton, issued the following announce
ment to city church members Satur-
day:
On account of the ban laid upon con-
gregational assemblies there will be
no public services of the churches I'M
til after October 20. During this per-
iod of time there should be no cessa-
ton in Bible study or worship. The
home is still fundamental and the
basis Of all good government. Nothing
else can really make the world safe
for democracy but loyal devotion at
the home altar. 1t Is just dawning up
on the world that the kingdom of God,
and democracy worked out will beauti-
fully blend into one. This conception
does not lower the kingdom but 1t
does lift our conception of the goal of
democracy. Let the home then be true
to it's highest privilege and around the
family altar keep the home fires burn
ing adding even a brighter glow while
the churches are closed. Bible school
lesson for tomorrow, "Abram Helping
Lot" Gen. xiii 5-11 xiv 14-16 Keep the

NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, Friday,

increase in victories credited to old

RUSH TO SELL
CUTS CORN PRICE

CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-Overpowering
rushes to sell have smashed down the
price Of corn this week 1874 to 171ac
bushel. Almost the entire break
took place after Germany's request
that fighting be stopped at once. Oats
meanwhile have fallen 3k to SIC,
and provisions 55c to $402.
Although progress in the cracking
of German defense lines has giving
bearish sentiment as to corn much
impetus, it was not until Chancellor
Maxmilian's note monopolized atten-
ton that the big downward swing Of
values began in earnest. Absorbing
interest later which centered on the
response by President Wilson, did not
materially alter the rapid descent of
values. Talk that Turkey might imi-
tate the surrender of Bulgaria out

ria and Hungary was impending, OPP
Grated further to increase selling pres

the forward sweep of the entente arm

only important rally In prices was
witnessed yesterday when the uncer-
tainties of a double holiday ahead fore.

Oats paralleled the action of corn,
but were steadied in measure by i'm
proved domestic demand.
Provisions dropped with grain and
hogs, despite considerable buying as
cribed to packers. Weakness was
most acute in pork.

Of influencing public opinion abroad.
Thus General Won Stein, the Prus-

commanding generals, Won Nietinghoff

Entrance to Camouflage Station

BEHIND TIE AMERICAN LINES
IN FRANCE, Oct. IL. Correspondence
of the Associated Press. "A make-be-
lieve forest stands along the edge of
the road at the entrance to the Am
erican camoufage station here. 1t
looks as natural as the real woods
along the fighting front, while the
shiny silver bark of the beeches,s the
rough, jagged trunks of the old apple
trees and the sprounting tops of dwarf
willows.
Yet every tree in the camouflage for
est has steel core within, from whic h
an observer peers forth to lwatch the
movements of an enemy or a machine
gum is located to sweep forth from
it's hidden recess. They are only one
of the many strange devices to deceive
and mystify the enemy which the Am,
erican camouflage station is sending
forth to the fighting army.
Camoufage is one of the distinctly
new products of the war, even in the
name, which was used for the first
time by General Castleman, chief of
staff Of General Joffre. The word is
not good French, but comes from the
argot, or French slang, the verb cam
ouf1uer," being used by French police
to indicate any disguise used to cap
ture criminals. For example, detec-
tive camoufages himself by dressing
as a coachman.
Early in the war the famous portrait
painter, Giron de Sivela, conceived the
idea of Disgusting batteries and build
ings by painting them in fantastic
patterns blending with the landscape.
He laid the plan before General de
Castleman, who, struck with the prac-
teal value of the plan, exclaimed
"Camouflage." And from that time the
