it was declared to-day at the state de-
partment. Under the armistice terms
and the arrangements made in con-
nection with it, Foch can command
these United States forces, according
to the department.
Information now in possession of
this government, it was learned, is that
Germany has deliberately taken ad-
vantage of the United States senate's
rejection of the peace treaty to make
an attempt at stirring up dissension
among the allied and associated pow
ers, to escape further infliction of the
peace terms and avoid payment for

one official. we may have a hard
time making her sign the protocol, but
she will sign
The White House, it was learned,
believes this sign of stubbornness on
kGermany's part is but one of the con-
sequences of treaty rejection. Presi-
dent Wilson told Senator Hitchcock
yesterday that responsibility now rests
on other shoulders, in effect, that he
is ready to remain in the background
until events prove he was justified in
warning that Bolshevism and more

CAPPER CHARGES PROFITEER
Attorney General Starts Prose
cution Western Producers.
Senator Complain Price Boost
ed When Strike Came.

Washington, Dec. s6.-Prosecution of
western oil producers for alleged
profiteering was ordered today by At
torney General Palmer On complaint
filed by Senator Capper of Kansas, fed
eral agents were instructed to proceed
at once against producers who have
taken advantage of the fuel shortage
in the west to increase the price of
their product.
Oil producers, Senator Capper said,
have increased their prices from 81
"a barrel before the strike to nearly
$3.50 a barrel. Declaring that scores
of industrial plants in the west had
converted their fuel equipment for oil
consumption since the strike began.
Senator Capper said the increase in
oil prices had placed a burden on
them. ~
Senator Capper also asked the de-
partment of justice to investigate com
plants that the oil producers Had
got together" on prices. He said the
quotations made by the big concerns
were practically on even terms.
simultaneously the railroad admin
istration established an embargo. eff
fective Monday, against shipments of
fuel oil from the west to points east
OF Chicago. and st. Louis.
This action, it was explained, was
necessary to conserve the small sup
plies of coal available for the terri
tory west of the Mississippi river and
to compel where possible the use of
fuel oil. instead.
There will be no increase in the
present price of coal as fixed under
the Lever act, DIR. Garfield said, "No
matter what local arrangements and
agreements are put into effect He
added that his position was absolutely
unchanged from that taken on Novem-
Der 26 with the authorization of the
cabinet. DR.. Garfield explained the
main suggesting the IA per cent ad-
vance which the miners promptly re-
jected, that he was not fixing wage
scales and had no authority to do So
He indicated that the increase suggest
tors were able to grant without ad-
vancing the price of coal which the
government has fixed.
All bituminous coal mines now in
operation must close within a week
unless the railroad administration
pays for the coal it has confiscated or
diverted. said a statement today by
the American wholesale coal associa-
ton.
Force Prices Down.
The embargo was expected to aid
in forcing down the prices. While il
will not entirely prohibit the shipment
of fuel oil eastward, it provides a per
nit system which will give the re-
gional fuel officials direct knowledge
| used and will make it unnecessary to
haul coal from eastern mines to the
districts from which the oil came.
Oil for export will continue to be
moved subject only to the permit reg
ulations The shipment of refined oils
in their regular trade channels also
will not be disturbed and industrial
plants, which employed oil as fue.
prior to November /. will be taken
care of. Shipments in transit or or
dered before November 1. will be al
lowed to go thru.

place, packed them on several ~horses
stolen from the ranch corrals, then
swan the Rio Gande back to Mexico.
Only the storet>eeper was molested.
The bandits worked fast and got away
before an alarm could be spread.
