ADRIATIC QUESTION Is
TO Be DISPOSED OF

LONDON, Nov. 2S.-Great Britain has
given Jugo-Slavia assurances that the
Adriatic question will soon be taken up
by the supreme council and that Great
Britain's influence will be used to Sc
cure a just and equitable settlement In
accord with the life and interests OF
Jugo-Slavia. according to dispatches.
These reported assurances are coin
cident with the presentation of the note
sent by the Jugo- Slav delegation to the
supreme council in Paris urging that
the Adriatlc matter be taken up i'm
mediately. The British note does net
commit the government to any definite
line of action.
Diplomatists here are inclined to view
the inactivity during the last few days
of Gabrielle ~d'Annunzio, the insurgent
italian commander at Ffume, as a hope
full sign, although there is no disposi-
tion to assume that he necessarily has
abandoned his plans for the annexation
of Dalmatia to Italy. It is believed
that the fact that the Italian elections
were unfavorable to- his project may
have Influenced him to pause and con-
slider the probability Of success.
Meanwhile an official announcement
of Premier Nitti's policy regarding the
Adriatic is eagerly awaited.

WEATHER'S GRIP
~INTENSlFlES FUEL NEED

CHICAGO, Nov. 2s.--Cold weather
with snow n sleet storms today had
spread over the Middle West and South
west and rendered more critical the fuel
situation brought about by the strike
of bitumtnous coal miners. In many
mall cities and towns the coal shortage
was acute, with actual suffering in
prospect in some.
In the large producing coal fields Of
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and
West Virginia, the miners apparently
were firm in their determination not to
return to work until some wage adj
justment was agreed upon. In fact,
some officials of the United Mine Work
ers in West Virginia predicted many
men who had returned 10 work would
walk out again today. Some operators
IN that state, however, asserted produce
ton today would be increased.
with no prospect of an immediate re-
sumption Of production in sight, and no
indication of what the next step by
the government toward providing fuel
would be, following breaking off Of the
miners operators n egotiation s at
Washington, efforts of Gov. Allen, of
Kansas, to obtain volunteers to mine
coal, and the announcement by Gov.
Gardner OF Missouri hat he would call
a conference of governors of coal pro-
ducfng states unless the government
acted today, attracted attention.
The most drastic conservation meas
ures announced by any of the larger
cities today had been ordered into eff
feet at Kansas City, Mo, mex Sunday,
Schools, theaters and all places Of
amusement were ordered closed. TIE
least essential manufacturing plants will
be closed Immediately, the fuel admins
tration announced, n others will he
listed in the order of Importance. Coal
from the schools supply will be dis
tributed to domestic consumers.
In Chicago today there were renewed
reports that train schedules were to be
curtailed further, but there was no
confirmation from Director-Genera
Hines.
Virtually all of the mines that had
remained in operation or where work
had been resumed, were Idle yesterday,
IT being a holiday, but those mines gen
orally we're expected to continue pro-
duction today, despite breaking up OF
the Washington conference. There were
no reports of changes in the general
situation as regarded the miners over
the holiday period.
The conference of governors which
Gov. Gardner said he would call, pro-
vided the government failed to act,
probably would be held at st. Louis
Chicago or Indianapolis. He indicated
the states might take over the mines
and operate them. Gov. Gardner re-
Gently was appointed chairman Of the
committee to devise means to lower
the living cost by the governors con
ference at Salt Lake City.
The question of jurisdiction over So
prisoners arrested at C~arneyville. Wyo.,
by federal troops acting with federal
officials and the county sheriff today
remained undecided. They still were
held in jail.
1t was stated by operators the strike
OF Wyoming miners had been broken
after arrests of the men, who were al
legged to be radicals.
