thrilling six-round encounters ever
witnessed It was held at the Olym-
pia Club on December IL, 1917. In
that battle Leonard was the closest
to defeat in his career as champion
A left smash to the jaw in the fourth
round had Benny in distress. Gen
eralship alone saved him.
All efforts to bring these boys to-
gether again failed. Finally, after
two months of work. Promoters Her
man Taylor and Robert Gunnis sue
ceeded in getting their signatures to

Nation Faces
Critical
Coal Shortage
SAYS the u. S. Government

Coal production has fallen off
to an alarming extent. This is
due to a combination of causes.
Coal cannot be produced and
held in huge quantities at the
mines awaiting the convenience
of the buyers. 1t must be moved
as fast as produced and kept
moving until it finally reaches
the consumer.
During the past two years we
have been confronted with a
coal shortage.
In 1913, in response to gov
ernment appeal, consumers
bought their coal during the
Summer months, and as a re-
suit the greatest production in
the history of the country was
achieved-namely, 5S5,OOO,OOO

GYPSY TRAIL"
At THE ROYAL
Picture Full of Thrills to Be
Shown at Popular Play

Bryant Washburn, who is to ap-
pear in his first Paramount comedy

appearance with the Famous Players
Lasky Corporation in the role of Cap
tain Strong, the leading figure in
Cecil B. De Miles Aircraft special,
It'll 1 Come Back to YOU" and was
accorded unstinted praise by every
one who reviewed the production for
the press. Mr.. Washburn has that
~typically American quality which at
once renders him a favorite, particu-
larly at a time when true American
ism is more than ever something to
be proud of.
In THE Gypsy Trair," which is ro-
mantle to a degree, he appears in the
role of a bashful lover-and those
who know his style Of work will ap-
p~reciate the earnestness with which
he vests this character. In the end
he wins because of his sterling worth,
against the lure of the nomadic and
romantic chap who elects to follow
'tthe gypsy trail'' and who for a time
casts the spell of his rowing tempera-
ment upon the would-be romantic
heroine. The latter part is played by

TRIAL OF KAISER
STRONGLY OPPOSED
BY BRITISH PRESS
Feels 1t Would Do More Harm Than Good and
Upset London for Time; Lloyd George Had
Tacit Consent Only of Allies.

last week was a TACT one. but from
American source it was learned, today
that the agreement was reached as bind
ing.
What purports to an authentic ac-
count of the incident in the council upon
which the British premier BASED bis
statement has become available from a
usually reliable source. 1t Is stated that
at a meeting of the council last week,
the British premier said to his fellow
conferees something about as follows:
Il suppose you have no objection TO
the trial of the kaiser in London
The premier looked around the circle
the account continues, and no one OBJ
jected. Indeed, it is said. Premier Gle
menceau gave his verbal approval.
This tacit agreement was never re-
corded in writing and Sir Maurice Han
key. the British secretary. did not in
clude it in his regular report of the
proceedings in the council. The assump-
tion is. however, that Premier Lloyd
George later had unofficial conversations
on the subject with one or more mem
bers of the council
