GERMANS BRAVED |NTERFE FERENCE
 BY UNCLE SAM
Began Sub Warfare Despite Warnings It Would Mean
 Defeat.

Berlin, Tuesday, Nov. 19.-Ger- many decided upon unrestricted sub- marine warfare in spite of warnings that such a step would bring the United States into the war as de- cisive factor. This was proved to- day by reports read at the inquiry into war responsibility being conduc- ted by subcommittee of the na- tional assembly.
 Field Marshal Von Hindenburg was the, leading witness of the day, but his testimony was scarcely more interesting than that of General Lu- dendorff, and seemed even less i'm portant than the reading of reports to Berlin by Dr. Heinrich F. Albert under secretary of state, and form CT commercial attache at the German embassy in Washington, and Dr. Haniel von Haimhausen, who was counsellor at the Washington en- bassy during the critical days of 1916 and 1917.
 The field marshal declared Ger many did not desire war and enter ed the struggle with her defensive strength impaired. He charged there was a lack of cooperation between the army and Interests at home and asserted this had a vital effect upon the final issue of the conflicts. Relations between the German high command and. Count von Bernstorf former German ambassador to the United States, were not cordial, it was developed, and it seemed an ef- fort was made to treat him as g scapegoat by Von Hindenburg and Ludendorff, who bitterly attacked him while giving their evidence. Admirers Are Many.
 The field marshal and his chief aide during the war rode to the Reichstag building behind squad o1 newly organized Berlin military pc lice, being mounted on shaggy, ill- groomed horses. Along the route from the residence of Dr. Karl Helf- ferich, former German vice chancel- Tor, there was a cordon of military guards, and machine guns were placed in the windows of buildings at various points. The military dis. play formerly accompanying the ap- pearance of the commanders of the German army was wholly absent but there was a picturesque element i in their progress to the Reichstag 1 building.
 A blizzard prevailed during the day and the heavy snow limited the number of persons witnessing the procession. Yet the guards hao difficulty in holding enthusiastic ad- mirers of the generals in check.
 It was observed that even the for mer emperor, in his frequent rides tc Berlin. was never given the armed protection which today was mobilizec for the benefit of the former army leaders. The Reichstag buildine was hedeed about with double cordon of armed guards and the pub. lie was not permitted to approach within a hundred yards of the build ing.
 Wearing green alpine hat, Vor Hindenburg bowed and smiled. as he passed into the building. He wa. loudly cheered. General Ludendorf1 and Dr. Helfferich followed. Ar attempt was made by the crowd tt rush forward, but it was driver back. Then there was renewed cheering, following which the crowt sang national songs.

DISTRIBUTION OF 1 COAL PROBLEM l FOR RAILROADS ht Is Not Question of Placing Freight Embargo, Hines Declares. DEPENDS ON DEVELOPMENTS |scores of Industrial Plants at Cleve- land Are Closed by Shortage Shutdowns in Other Cities
 Are Made Necessary.

Chicago. Nov. 19.-Arrangements to provide for the most equitable distribution of coal that is possible to regions and industries that show the greatest need, were discussed today by Walker D. Hines, director general of railroads, and seven re- eional directors at the close of two l day conference on the coal situation. While no drastic move in the Fcurtailment of the coal supply is contemplated, MT. Hines urged that avery one be impressed with the fact that coal must be used "sparing \ ly' in order to make the supply last: One of the first moves toward conservation was taken by the Cleve- land coal commission when it cut off the coal supply of every industrial plant, except these coming under the head of "puhlic utilities" The Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad today suspended 40 more passenger trains in various sections, bringing the total number of trains cut off from that road to 126. The Chicago and Northwestern has also suspended 20 trains.
 After the conference between MT. Hines and the regional directors it was announced that unless an abrupt change for the better occurs, West Virginia coal fields will be levied upon for western industry. It was stated that all regions in need of coal would be supplied from the West Virginia fields, and regional railroad directors in the east have promised to aid the west in transportation and distribution.
 MT. Hines, who left for Washing ton today, said before leaving that the problem no wis to distribute Ages.
 Reports received here tonight in- dicate that there is little change in the mine fields. Most miners are failing to return to work, awaiting the decision reached at the wage con- ference in Washington.
