It was noted in an official statement
given out last night by the War De-
partment that only one member of the
company continued to refuse TO obey
orders after Colonel Stewart had taken
personal charge of the situation, 1t ap-
peared possible to some officers here
that the entire situation had been
created by this man. Tn" fact that
Colonel Stewart was obliged to agree to
release this man from confinement be
fore the company would obey orders and

dicated that this soldier had obtained
a grip on his comrades.
1t was recognized by officers that the
situation Of the American forces in
northern Russia was peculiarly uu-
pleasant. Weather conditions are try

lDOLSHEWK SPIRIT
SWAY|NG AUSTRIA
Nation Coming Under Influence
OF Soviet Regimes at Munich
and Budapest
VIENNA IS AT STANDSTlLL
BY the Associated Press

Vienna. April 10 delayed .--German
Austria is coming under the influence
Of the establishment of soviet govern
ments at Munich and Budapest. At
E Donawitz 10000 workers in the iron
smelling plants have driven out the
managers because tn" latter have re-
fused to grant increased wages. The
coal miners there are reported to have
sronsidcred similar action. and there is
prospect that the employees of the iron
mines will take over control of the
properties and elect their own man
ayers.
Bank clerks at Vienna are demand
ing higher salaries. At one bank tn"
salaries paid before the war totaled
II ,O0O 900 crowns. which amount was
increased during the war to 20 3,ooo.oo"'
1t is now faced, with the demand for
the payment of II 900 900 more. which
will make sum equal to the yearly
dividends of the bank before the war.
The communists Of German Austria
have been told that If communism is
adopted here the Allies would cut of
food supplies, but this argument has
been removed since the Allies have ap-
peared willing to treat with the com
mnnists at Budapest.
Italy has ordered the German Aus
trian republic to disband and disarm
any troops regarded as pro communist.
The situation at Budapest prevents
Vienna banks from making up their
yearly statements. It is impossible
as vet to estimate the value of securities
held by Hungary. and it is said that,
even if Hungary should agree 10 make
settlements with the German Austrian
republic. any new money she might Of
fer would be without value. Business at
Vienna is at Standstill. with the
banks operating virtually as govern
ment tax officers.

Paris. April 11.-(By A. Pl--Be-
tween sessions Of the council of four.
which took up more than the usual time.
President Wilson crowded into his days
activities two calls--one on Queen
Marie of Rumnnia and the other in the
afternoon on Baron Maxine. chief of the
japanese delegation to tine Peace Con-

The visit to the queen yesterday was
entirely social. Notwithstanding an on
deavor by the queen to introduce QueS

The call at the big hotel where the
japanese delegation is living afforded
the attaches and residents of the hotel
some moments of interest. The eli

the car stuck midway between floors.
II was impossible for the elevator boy
TO move the ear up. so he brought il

TO INVESTIGATE
PRICE OF COAL
Federal Government Will Use
Same System as Employed
During War.
BY LOUIS LUDLOW.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Aug. "a
The coal prohteers must take their
turn on the griddle next.
Atty. Gen. Palmer is looking into
the coal situation. If he finds condi-
tons as unsatisfactory as they are
alleged to be he will recommend
some such action as has been taken
by the federal government with re-
spect to food stuffs The federal fuel
administration is no longer active
but the machinery IL used during
the war is still within reach of the
federal government and could be
used in connection with the coal sit
uation just as the food administra-
tion organization is being used in
connection with the food situation.
In the estimation of Atty Gen. Pal
mer it is Of the highest Importance
that the people everywhere shall be
kept warm next winter.
The attorney general foresees that
a coal shortage when the people
everywhere are complaining OF high
food prices would bring the federal
government face 20 face with a very
serious problem. So il is the attor-
ney generals Judgment that the sit
uation should be dealt with imme-
diately. Congress as n whole also
seems 10 realize that something
ought 10 be done about coal and
there is any amount of talk or an in
Quiry either by the senate or by the
house or by a joint committee rep
resenting The two bodies for the
purpose Of ascertaining just what
the facts are, but thus far nothing
has actually been done. The activi-
ties Of the department Of justice are
along the line OF getting the facts
with respect 10 both anthracite and
bituminous coal. If there is danger
of a shortage of either anthracite
Hr bituminous coal the agents OF the
department. Of Justice viii try 70 as
certain the cause.
Order Has Effect.
The mere mention Of the posi-
bility Of calling the fuel administra-
ton back TO life seems 70 have had
a good effect on some OF the mining
companies
The situation with respect to soft
coal, according 10 the information
available here at this time. is really
serious. II is this branch OF the in
dustry 10 which the government will
pay special attention in the inquiry
that is Just being started. Various
explanations for the shortage in soft
coal are offered In some localities.
il is asserted, there Is a shortage OF
miners. Strikes have taken place or
are now being carried on in some
Of the fields The public has re
Trained from buying in the usual
quantities during the first half OF
the year. evidently waiting with the
hope that prices might fall and
there has been and still is a car

tricts. These are some OF the things
the government desires 10 know
more about.
