GARFIELD AT POST
 UNTIL MID-SPRING
Will Control Fuel Until Winter
 Has Passed Off Calendar

Washington, Jan. 1.-The federal lease of life, with indications now that it's functions in controlling coal pro- duction and distribution will continue until midspring. The fixed prices at the mines and the distribution zones will not be changed at least before February 1 and probably not until some time thereafter.
 Dnwillingness of the railroad ad- ministration to make 8 naidwinter change in it's plan of handling coal traffic in accordance with zone lines and the desire of some of the coal producers and consumers that the functions of the fuel administration continue until the stress of the winter season has passed are the principal reasons for the decision of Dr. Gar field and his aids mot to reIinquish their duties at this time.
 Another factor in the situation to which consideration has been given is the feeling that the period of indus trial read iustment will be passed more easily if the plan of coal distribution remains unchanged and that the com- mercial interests of the country also will be better served if the. present arrangement is kept in force until more nearly normal conditions have been restored here and abroad.
 No official announcement has been made by pr. Garfield beyond the terse statement that the prices and zones will not be cancelled for thirty days at least.
 Increasing demand for American coal in South American markets and the recent expOrtation of considerable quantities to the West Indies for sup plying sugar refineries are creating an outlet for coal that was not antici- pated before the armistice.
 Ways and means of taking care of this trade through a permanent ar rangement are under Consideration by many of the Eastern. coal concerns, principally in New, York city, Phila- delphia and Baltimore.
 The formation of an exporting pool similar to those projected for handling foreign trade in lumber, steel copper, paper and oil is being discussed, but the application for a charter Hider the Webb-Pomerene law has. mot been filed with the federal trade com mission. With additional ships avail able it is believed that the demand for American coal in the southern markets will expand quickly beyond all previous sales; ;and enable mine operators to maintain the rate of pro- duction established last summer and autumn in meeting war needs.
 The heavy drain on the Mexican oil wells during the war has created a lively market for American coal in that country which as yet has not been taken advantage of because of the shortage in ocean tonnage.

ALASKAN FEUDS NO

Rival Claimants Settle Differences
 on World ArmiStiCe Day

Sitka, Alaska, Nov. 30, (Corres- pondence of the Associated Press)- War, mostly of the smoldering varie- ty, but which in past generations has blazed up and drawn blood, no long CT exists between the Sitka and Wrangell clans of the Rock Wan Ton caste of the Thlinket Indian tribe of southeastern Alaska Peace was de- clared at a meeting Novem Der il, the same day on which the world war ar mistice was signed.
 Democratic principles, taught the younger Indians by the United States government teachers, prevailed at the peace conference. The Indians decid- cd to set aside their tribal customs Disputes, the Indians decided, in the future will be settled by the white mans law, instead of by hostilities
 No India Enow living can remem- baf.,the titaa:wher the Atkas and !, tHhngalts W'sse at peace. -Thefe has been bad Blood between them for years. The last futile attempt to make peace took place in the early eighties. when Jack Yaquan, father of one of the delegates at the last meet ing, led his tribe of Sitkas to Wrang- ell to make peace. A war cry greet ca, .LnGbT aTF1Vdl dutt HedIIS ctlI CllS visitors were massacred by the Wrangells Chief Yaquan was among the Sitkas killed.
 Old men of the tribes. it is said, re- fused. to let the hostility die and en- deavored to keep alive the fires of hatred. With the passing of many of the old tribesmen, however, the younger men, imbued with the ideas of modern civilization taught them in the governm ent schools, decided they wanted peace.
 In 1917, Chief Shaks of the Wrang- els opened peace negotiations with
 Jack Yaquan of the Sitkas. He urged
 the sending of peace delegates to Wrangell where, he proposed, the leaders of. the two clans should heal their old. wounds. So at the close of the fishing season delegation of Sit kas went to Wrangell and, after a week of "pow- VOWS" decided to let I bygones. be bygones and to abolish
 the old Customs, Chief Sraks, the father of the peace move, died before the meeting was held.
 So now there is peace on the
 northern waters and islands and the Sitkas and Wrangells will no longer live in fear of each other. When out on their hunting and fishing trips 1 or when laying their winter trap lines 1 they vii visit each other and be | friends.

BULGARIA DOUBLE
 CROSSED BY HUNS
Rupture Between 4TeutOnS and
 BulgarS Soon Follows Crisis

Sofia, Bulgaria, Nov. 26' (Corre- spondence of the Associated Press. ). One of the principal causes which contributed towards the rupture of Bulgaria with Germany, was the treatment by the latter of the Dob rudja question, which robbed Bull garia of the prospect of attaining her national aspirations and the tendency of Germany to favor Turkeys claim to the restoration of the strip of ter ritory in Thrace, which the Turks un- der German pressure, had ceded to Bulgaria in September 1915, as the price of BugaTia's. cooperation in the war.
 When German dipomacy, early in September of this year, realized that Bulgaria was bent on withdrawing from the war, a serious attempt was made to conciliate the Bulgarian gov ernment by the abandonment of the condomi1ium established in northern Dobrudia and a. protocol to this eff feet was signed in Berlin between the Central Allies. It was then hoped that this concession would induce Bulgaria to continue the war hut53t proved to be without success.
 The feeling produced both in Der lin and Vienna by this developm ent can be readily imagined. The form CT Austro-Hungarian foreign minister Baron Burtap, in a conversation with M. Focheff, the Bulgarian minister in Vienna, was moved to wrathful indig- nation and described M. Malinoff, the Bulgarian premier, as a traitor.
 There is much irritation in Bulgaria over the ,Dobrudja question. The Bulgarian government, which, in its several conversations with the Ger man-Austrian ministers at Sofia de- clared itself content to reserve the question of the Dobrudja settlement by the peace congress, maintains the same attitude today. The government hopes that the fact that Bulgaria was the first state to withdraw from the war, and thus hasten the conclusion of a general peace, will not be over looked.
 The scarcity of foodstuffs In Bull garia constitutes a serious problem for the government, and if supplies are not soon forthcoming, there is great danger of a famine. One cause of this dearth of supplies was the wholesale and systematic draining of the country's resources by the Ger mans who, instead of reinforcing the Macedonian front, garrisoned the in terioF of Bulgaria with the sole object of collecting the produce of the cOun- try for despatch to Germany. When the present government put an end to this exportation the Germans resorted to their own field post and thus practi- cally every German soldier became al exporter. The Bulgarian governmen was powerless to prevent the practice
