The Baroness Frances Wilson
Huard will speak here on MY
Year Among the Fighters" at the
Fontenelle on February q at 4
o'clock under the auspices of the
Drama league.
Madame Huard is the author Of
two remarkable books, my Home

Home in the Field Of Mercy" In
her lecture the baroness will give
an insight. into the antebellum days
that. are not known on this side Of
the Atlantic.
Madame Huard. living quietly in
her Chateau 90 miles northeast Of
Paris, suddenly found herself abso-
lutely alone in the war zone save
for a few young servants, and she
tells Of her awakening to the full
realization of the meaning of war
by the immediate appearance Of
thousands of pitiful refugees. Her
unwillingness to believe in the stor-
les of the creed "kulture" caused
her to remain to minister to those
in need, and the delay was followed
by her hair-breadth escape and as
founding adventures on the high
roads Of France.
When the tide Of battle turned
there followed the triumphant re-
turn of her little party across the
still smoking battlefield, the de-
spair at finding her exquisite chat
eau looted and dehled, her every
treasure stolen or defaced, the
cleaning up and the installation of
military hospital. II is a glorious
story of rehabilitation Of the home
in the field Of honor into home OF
mercy and suecor for the wounded
French. The narrative is simple.

i is by brilliant woman Of rare

extent will be best remedied by an
over production rather than an under
production and which would be the
ultimate result If the working hours
in the mines were reduced. The COM
mtttee suggested to the operators OF
the central competitive states that nc
modification be made in the existing
contract, which it claims is still In
force and will remain so until April
/, 1920, unless the peace treaty is
signed sooner.
On motion, which was substituted
for resolution presented earlier in
the day, 1t was suggested that the
general coTmittee from the competi-
tive states keep one representative OF
each of the outlying districts advised
as to the progress of the conference,
which is now taking place in Phila-
delphia.
At the session Of The National Coal
Association at II O'Clock on Thurs
day morning Mr.. Darnell, of the re-
venue department of the federal gov
crnment addressed the meeting and
he at some length discussed the re-
Iationship between the government
departments and the coal operators.
He dwelt on the subjects of depletion,
depreciation and kindred matters of
interest to the industry. In addition
to coal operators there were a large
number of officials, auditors and law
yers interested in the coal business in
attendance.
Everett Bremen, of Elkins, and E..
S. Mccullough, labor commissioner
OF the Northern West Virginia Coal
Operators Association, left this
morning for Philadelphia, where they
will keep in touch with the joint SEES
sion of the operators and miners, who
are now in session there.
Late Thursday afternoon a confer
ence was held between special COM
mittee from The National Coal AS
ISOLATION and United States Senators
Frelinghuysen and Cummins. The
general coal situation was gone over
carefully. Seator Frelinghuysen, who
presented a bill to investigate the
coal industry, and Senator Cummins,
who is framing the bill to turn back
the railroads to private ownership,
sought information as to the coal in
dustry. G. H. Jenkins, president OF
