Refutes Charges Made BY
Member Of National Coun-
ell Of Defense.

New York.. Oct. 3l.-George
Creel, former chairman of the COM
mittee on public information, issued
statement here terming as "falsc
in many particulars and viciously
misleading as a whole" charges OF
"chaos" and gross negligence" by
the committee in handling govern
ment funds.
These charges were made in re-
port to,congress by E. K. Ellsworth
Of the council Of national defense,
who was appointed to liquidate the

ter to Secretary of War Baker, de-

sertinge the committees appropria-
tions totaled $6,850,000, and it re-
turned in earnings 2,3S5,39761 be-
fore its final accounting.

nation therefore cost the taxpayers
just $4,464, ,6W. SO for two years Of
work in the United States and every
foreign nation, less than the amour,
spent in a single country in one year
by some of the. belligerents," said

Railroad Officers
Testify They Urged
Cheaper Timber Road

New York, Oct. 31.-A route for
"a government railroad tapping
spruce districts of Washington
which would probably have cost ST.
100000, instead of the actual route
adopted that cost $4,OO0,OOO, was
urged by R. M. Calkins and H. 3.
Earring. vice presidents of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, ac-
cording to their testimony before
the congressional subcommittee in
vestigating the army air service.
Ca1kins said an extension of the
Milwaukee by way of Deep Creek
would have reached 1000, 100000
more feet of timber than the road
as built by way of Crescent Lake.
Earling said it was obvious that the
Crescent Lake route would have
cost the more. He denied that at
ter the armistice he had urged tina:
IA miles of the Crescent Lake line
be completed.
The committee will resume its in
vestigation in Washington, d. C.
Gen. B. P. Disque, formerly direc-
tor Of spruce production, will testify

A. F. of [. Leaders Issue
Warning to Government

Washington, Oct. 3l.-The big
news in the coal strike situation to-
day was the federal courts order
forbidding the walkout. It was fol-
lowed by long line of develop
ments and opened the door to wide
possibilities.
The principal leaders in the
miners union met the courts action
with denunciation as a violation Of
constitutional rights" declarations
that it came too late to reach their
men with countermanding order,
and with predictions that Il would
be disregarded, any way.
During the day mixed reports
were coming in from the mining
states OF men who decided to. re-
main at work and others who went
on strike despite the courts re-
straining order. 1t is not possible
to estimate what proportion of the
425,0O0 miners affected remained AZ
work and what proportion walked
out. The real test may not come
until Monday. Saturday generally
is a dead" day in the mines.

Ex-Kaiser On Trial

London, Oct. 31.-The kaiser
question" came up in the commons
again Thursday and from what was
said by the government it is as de-
termined as ever to bring the former
ruler to trial.
Maj, Lane Fox asked whether the
government is aware that there
"is a growing feeling in the country
against trying the kaiser" and that
the majority of the people seemed
to feel he should be left to the pun
ishment of his conscience. Andrew
Bonar Law, the governments
spokesman, replied:
II am not aware that this repre-
sents the feeling of the country.
Nor has the government any reason
to sidestep the matter"

MOBILIZE TROOPS TO
COPE WITH DISORDERS
Miners Cease Work When Day
Shift Completes Task
Union Officials Protest the
Action of Government.

Chicago, Oct. .3l.-Bituminous
coal fields of the nation tonight were
in the grip of a strike, effective at
midnight, which leaders Of the union
miners declared already had seen
more than 395,600 of their members
out of the works, to remain out un-
til the strike should be settled.
Thousands more Of the miners,
whose whole number is roughly
placed at 100000, will be out tomor-
row, they said.
The men already on strike, the
leaders reported, were those who
had left the mines today, taking
their tools with them. Reports
from the soft coal fields were il-f
complete tonight and even the union
leaders agreed they would await to
morrow before being able definitely
to know the number of men who
had obeyed the strike call. But in
almost every instance. the miners
spokesmen asserted, that the tieup
of the mines would be complete, al
though the unions will leave suf-
ficient number OF men in the mines
to man the pumps and keep the
property in shape for resumption os
work when the strike shall be end
ed. Some union leaders refuse to
talk on account of the restraining
order issued at Indianapolis.
Effects Known Monday.
Repotts to the union leaders to-
night indicated that the bulk of the
miners in the great producing re-.
gions of Pennsylvania, West Vir-
ginia, Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, Ken
lucky, Colorado, Kansas, Montana
and Wyoming, had left the mines at
the close Of the day shift to remain
on strike. !.
But with the strike officially start
ing at midnight, tomorrow being
virtually holiday in coal mining,
and Sunday also day of ffon-pro-
duction, it was generally conceded
that not before Monday wsuld the
actual effect of the strike be known
definitely. By that time union. lead
ers will have nearly complete re-
ports from union locals, and the coal
operators will know to what extent
they will be able to operate If they
should decide to attempt actual min5f
ing work. Z
Reports from Locals.
The following table by states Of
men who left the mines today and
tonight~to obey the strike call is
based on reports, in most instances
estimated, received by union leaders
throughout the country:
Arkansas 1000, Colorado 5000,
Illinois 10000, Indiana 25,0O0, Iowa
$4,000, Kansas $4,000. Kentucky
10000, Maryland 1900, Michigan
2,400 Mississippi 1000, Montana
1900, New Mexico 1900, North Da-
kota 1000, Ohio 10000, Oklahoma

see 1000, Utah 1000, Washington
5000, West Virginia 10000, Wyo-
ming 5000, Texas $500.
While no reports were available
from Alabama, Texas and Virginia,
Union leaders said there were num-
bers of men OF, strike and thousands
would be out tomorrow in the
southern fields.
What tomorrow's reports would
show, the union chiefs said, they
were unable to predict, except that
the strike would be of SO vast an
extent as to paralyze production Of

WAR CHANCELLOR
OF GERMANY SAYS
HE URGED PEACE
Army and Navy Commanders
Insisted on Submarine War
fare, Probe Shows.

Berlin, Oct. 3l.-Dr. Won Beth
mann-Hollweg, German chancellor
during the greater part of the war,
spent nearly two hours in the wit
ness chair before the National AS
sembly subcommittee which is in
vestigating what had been the pos
sibilities for bringing about peace
during the war.
The former chancellor said he
sharply condemned the submarine
warfare, but admitted the influence
of Admiral Won Tirpitz, General
Ludendorff and Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg was so strong that the
German people were absolutely con-
vinced of its justification, and fol-
lowed their generals blindly.
His voice almost broke with emo
ton as he told of his efforts to meet
his responsibilities, both to the peo-
pie at home and the soldiers in the
trenches. When he tried to oppose
the submarine war, he said, Generals
Ludendorff and Won Hindenburg
wired the foreign Office that Ger
many would lose the campaign on
the west front and that she must
have the submarine war.
1t was considered finally, accord
ing to the former chancellor, that
even America, should she enter the
war, could be handled, and the army
authorities threw down the gauntlet
to political figures who opposed the
submarine campaign.
Warnings not to underestimate
America, which the former chancel-
lor said he issued, failed of their
purpose, because, he declared, in
tense hatred of America ruled
solidly in all political circles, owing
to the delivery of ammunition to
the entente by the United States.
