FUEL ADMINISTRATOR GAR
FIELD RESIGNS.

Yesterday DR.. Harry A. Garfield
the National Fuel Administrator,
sent his resignation to the Presi-
dent, this astn being taken be-
cause of atisfaction on his part
with that Itnre of the coal strike
settlemsv blan which, provides for
the Interrogation of the entire coal
situation and the further adjust
ment of wages and prices by n com
mission of three persons, one repre-
senting the miners, one represent
ing the operators, and the third rep
resenting the general public. DR..
Garfield, it is said, objected to
this plan ns unfair to the public
since it would make it possible for
the men representing the miners and
operators to increase coal prices to
whatever extent they might desire
and to cover the increase by advanc
ing the price of conl to the public.
II is asserted that the President
will probably accept DIR. Garfield's
resignation within day or SO, but
no official announcement has been
made regarding the matter.
Regardless of the nature of the
Presidents action on the resigna-
tion it is understood that DR.. Gar
field will refuse to participate in
any capacity in connection with the
coal strike If the present basis Of
settlement is allowed to stand and
the three man commission is ap-
pointed as planned.
Fuel restrictions being lifted.
With the settlement Of the coal
strike and the rapid increase in
the production OF soft coal, Direc-
tor General Hines is showing a dis
position to remove the coal restric-
tions as rapidly as possible.
Already restrictions on the use Of
coal for heat, light and power pur-
poses have been removed in the Al
leghany region, and kilograms have
been sent to regional directors to
restore the recently Withdrawn pas

lor car services as rapidly us the
coal conditions in their districts
will permit.
Restrictions as to the production.
distribution, and use of coke, with
the exception of the export en-
bargo, have also been removed.
Coal production rapidly Increasing.
II was estimated by the Railroad
Administration yesterday that u
bout 65 per cent of the soft coal
mines of the country have gone
back to work thus far. Reports
from Indiana Indicate that nearly
all of the miners there have return
ed but in some parts of the coun-
try there is considerable delay in
resuming work.
In the Pittsburgh field 10000
men were reported yesterday as
being back to work. In u few
districts in Ohio operation is mp
proaching normal but this is not
generally true, and it is stated that
not before Monday will the grenter
number of the mines be opened.
In Kansas volunteers are still on
the job and up until yesterday none
of the union miners had returned
to work. The Missouri miners
voted last night to accept the terms
of the Indiana agreement and to
go to work ms soon ms the volun-
teers have left and the soldiers who
nre on guard Mt the mines are with
drawn.

On the outbreak of the great war the

Blenheim Palace into an immense hos

wounded officers and soldiers. volun-

he did excellent work as a liaison Of
ficer and carrier OF dispatches. He
likewise served as A. D. c. to Gen. Sir
Ian Hamilton on the Peninsula of
Gallipoli, and during the latter part of
the conflict represented the Depart
ment of Agriculture in the House of
Lords, where in ante-bellum days he
figured as Paymaster General of the
Army and as Under Secretary Of State
for the Colonies.
At Blenheim Emperor williams
brother, Prince Henry OF Prussia, was
entertained some months before the
war with customary hospitality. and
a number of motor trips were made by
the Prince and by the numerous men,
bers of his suite TO points Of interest
in the neighborhood. After the out
break Of hostilities II was boosted at
Berlin that the Princes tour OF the
country houses Of England had been
undertaken for purposes OF espionage,
and that the members Of his suite had
been some Of the shrewdest and most
wideawake members OF the General
stan of the German Army, who had
thus been enabled to acquaint them
selves with points on the coast favor
able for bombardment from the sea;
with places inland most easily dis
tinguishable by the cruise OF the Yep

and with localities suitable for hidden

Anne, and many Of the most illustrious
names OF European history in the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries

War Work Of the Duchess.
Nor was the Duchess Of Marlborough
behindhand In war work. Sunderland
House, under her caro- and kindly d.
rection, had from the very day when
its doors were first opened become the
headquarters OF all sorts OF practical
philanthropies and the birthplace of
movements for the relief of misery and
suffering. After the outbreak OF hos

There are few women in London
who have labored more unremittingly
and with more unselfsh devotion
among the poor OF the British metropo-
lis than the Duchess of Marlborough.
There are few names more deservedly
honored by people Of every class OF
society. especially among the masses,

she was elected as a member of the
London County Council-the Metro

district in London.

with a much smaller and more unpre-

much cruel suffering during the last
four or five years and has been brought
into intimate touch with such frightful
restitution and misery that she feels
that she cannot ever live again with
comfort among such costly and
luxurious surroundings as Sunderland
House. That Is why, with the consent
OF her father. she has sold 1t to Lord
Furness.
