THE HERO OF uEGE is DEAD
General Leman Commanded Forts that
Held Back Advance of Germans
at Belgian Border.

Brussels-GeneraI Leman, defender
Of Lisge against the German advance,
early in the war, died at Leige recent
ly from pneumonia.
General Leman was governor CT
Leige at the outbreak of the war. It
was his gallant defense Of the city
from the German attack just as the
drive through Belgium was in full
swing that held up the advance of the
German troops for several days, de-
lay th0t tie imperial staff had not an
t.cipated and which told materially
against the Germans in the campaign,
ultimately resulting in their check at
the Marine.
General Leman was wounded in the
fighting and was captured August p,
1914. He was held in a German prison
until December, 1917, when, because Of
his i'll health, he was released and
made his way out of Germany %
France by way of Switzerland. After
the Allied victory he accompanied
King Albert in the official re-entry Of
the Belgians into Liege and was Civ
en- an enthusiastic welcome by the PEG
pie Of his home city.

A COAL SHORTAGE AVERTED
a Total of 100000 Tons Weekly,
Association Declares.

Washington-Bitum coal pro-
duction has reached the 1900. OO0-ton
weekly total which the National Coal
Association recently declared was nee
essary to insure against any shortage
of the winter supply.
With the achievement Of the 12,0OO,-
600 tons output a week, 'the entire
soft coal situation has appreciably
eased up" said a statement issued by
the National Coal Association. Acute
shortages in immediate supply in the
Middle West and in other parts of the
countrs are now being met in such a
way as definitely to indicate that the
worst of the soft coal stringency is
over"
Quick results were reported TO have
been obtained in relieving the house
hold situation in Ohio, Indian, Mich
igan, eastern Tennessee, eastern Ken
tuck and western Pennsylvania Chi
cago, st. Louis and distributing points
along the Mississippi and Missouri val
legs are getting sufficient soft coal
shipments for immediate wants, &C
cording to the associations statement,
which added that the railroads did not
expect any difficulty in keeping up the
supply of cars for this movement.

MINORITY RULING
ON VOLSTEAD kCTk1
Supreme Justice Clarke Dis
ssnts From Decision Rem
dered Last June.
WORD CONCURRENT IGaORED
Jurist Believes Ruling Win Return 20
Plague Supreme court-Protests
Alcoholic Content Decision

Washington.-TwO important objec-
tons to the majority decision last
June of the United States supreme
court UNFOLDING as constitutional and
valid the prohibition amendment and
all Of the Volstead enforcement act,
were raised recently in dissenting
opinion filed by Associate Justice
Clarke
Justice Clarke maintains that full
and complete weight and importance
should have been given TO the mandate
of the amendment that there should
be concurrence IN the enforcement or
the prohibition as provided by the
amendment, as it used in the grant 10
congress and the several states OF
concurrent power TO enforce this
article by appropriate legislation"
The conclusions of q majority Of the
court, Justice Clarke said. taken to-
gether, in effect, declared the Vol
stead act to be the supreme law of
the land, paramount to any state law
with which it may conflict in any re-
spect-
iTWiH Return TO Plague"
Such a result, in my judgment,
he continues, can be arrived at only
by reading out of the second section
Of the eighteenth amendment to the
constitution the word concurrent:
Predicting such action by the court
will return to plague it, Judge Clarke
says: This important word which
the recor1 OF congress shows was in
troduced with utmost elaboration to
give accurate expression to a very def
mite purpose can be read out Of the
Constitution only by violating the
sound and wise rule OF constitutional
construction early announced and
often applied by this cOuTt-that in ex-
pounding the Constitution of the
i nited States no word in IT can be re-
jected as superfluous or unmeaning,
but effect must be given to every word
to the extent that this is reasonably
possible"
Protests Alcoholic Content Ruling.
Justice Clarke protests also the ma
jority opinion which holds valid the
definition OF intoxicating liquors con-
tanned in the Volstead act
ct approves as Valid says Justice
Clarke, "a definition OF liquor as in
toxicating which is expressly admitted
not to be intoxicating in each Of the
cases in which it is considered can
not agree that the prohibition OF the
manufacture, sale, etc, Of intoxicating
liquors in the first section OF the
eighteenth amendment gives that plen-
airy power over the subject which the
legislatures of the states drive from
the people or which may be derived
from the war powers of the Consti-
tuition"

WILL NOT YIELD TO FARMERS
Federal Reserve Board Against the
Preferential Rediseount Rates Asked
for by National Conferences

Washington.-Request OF agTicul-
tural producers for preferential redis-
count rates will not be granted Icy
the federal reserve board. Announce
ment to this effect will be made at
once. it is expected The best informa-
ton available was that the board, fol-
lowing the 3-day conference with gov
errors Of federal reserve banks and
federal reserve agents of the twelve
districts, has come to the conclusion
that nothing would be gained by any
material modification in the present
scale Of re-discount rates.
A statement was in course of prepa-
ration by W. P G. Harding, governor
of the federal reserve system This
statement is expected to declare that
that banks Of the country are doing
their best to finance the crop move
ment and that while difficulties are in
sight the burdens would not be made
easier by such remedies as have been
proposed by the agricultural producers
who have appeared this week before
the board and before Secretary HOus-
ton of the treasury.
There mas been a belief in some
AuoA lCAS mat IAS DOoAN HA6Al AAehAO -
slight reduction in the rediscount rate
on agriculture paper The understand
ing is that this will not be done
The request Of the agricultural pro-
ducers for the adjustment Of the
graduated rediscount system which
prevails in some districts under which
rates increase in proportion to the
amount Of borrowings Of member
banks from federal reserve banks also
will be refused by the board. 1t Is
possible the board may suggest q flat
rate Of per cent, to be optional with
federal -eserve banks in tLc districts
affected in place Of a graduated redis-
count rate beginning at per cent.

TOO MUCH LABOR IN DETROIT

Detroit-For years. Detroit has
been a mecca for labor and now, for
the first time in years, there is IN
employment here. The unemployment
figures range all the way from TWEEN
tv-five thousand to one hundred thou
sand. A fair guess at the approx
mate number of unemployment now
in the city would be thirty thousand.
That certainly is conservative. La
borers for the first time in years are
leaving the city to seek work else
where. There is nothing here for the
newcomers seeking work. Recently a
delegation from Detroit visited Com
missioner Wallis, tie immigration
commissioner at Ellis island, and
asked him to help them in diverting
immigrants ticketed to Detroit

ENTENTE MAY LOSE PRESTIGE
Must Prevent Further Transgressions,
AS That at Wilma, to Hold Its
Commanding Position.

aris-General ZeIigowski's coup
at Wilma has brought out with new
emphasis in French government cir
cles the conviction that the-aIlies must
abandon the tolerant attitude of the
fond parents towards the newly Gre
ated states Of Europe.
These spoiled children" of the post
war entente diplomacy will succeed n
destroying the few remaining vestiges
of allied prestige unless forceful meas
ures are adopted at once to discipline
Eastern European trouble makers, &C.
cording to opinions expressed in high
government circles.
The Wilma occupation has resulted
in further complicating the Adriatic
tangle. The entene's authority will
be nulIified completely, and the peace
Of Europe will be placed at the mercy
of Balkan and Eastern European NAL
contents if the policies of Ieniency evil
denced in dealing with the Fiume Incl
dent continue. The Budapest tangle
and other high-handed moves are
maintained, according to French diplo-
matists.
Inc temps, IN an editorial Oh the
present Lithuanian-Polish crisis, says:
1.-The allies must maintain a united
front toward Eastern Europe The
present confusion OF European diplo-
macy which makes it possible for any
audacious diplomatic or military coup
to find enough support TO insure its
success is much to be regretted.
'The allies should not tolerate such
open violation of the rights of the peo-
pie as the Jugo-Slav disregard the Car

Of political discipline must be main
tanned if the new order Of right and
justice embodied in the League of Ma
lions covenant is to survive"

FOR Mine PEACE
British Government Offers to

MAKES TENSION MUCH EASIER
Each Side in Parliamentary Debate
Shows Spirit of ConciIiation-In-
dustry Feels the Pinch.

London-The British government is
still disposed to leave the door open
for negotiations between the million
coal strikers and the mine owners.
Lloyd George, speaking in the house
of commons towards the close of one
of the most memorable debates in a
generation, offered to hear the miners
at any hour they chose to present
themselves on either Of two PROPOSE
tions-a hearing of the case by an i'm
partial tribunal, or acceptance of the
government demand for increased
production
The governments restatement of its
position had somewhat the tendency
of easing the tension which had ex-
listed throughout the day. The pre-
mier appealed to the nation and to
parliament to put their faith in the
situation, promising. in effect, that a
way out of the difficulty would be
four !.
A Spirit of Cancellation.
A spirit of Cancellation was evident
throughout the days session Even the
labor leaders avoided bitterness in
their argument for settlement Of the
strike, while the tone of government
leaders, particularly noticeable in the
premier's speech, was one Of frank
endeavor to arrive at an understand
ing
An outstanding incident of the day
was ths powerful speech of William
Brace, a Labor member, which open
ed up a wide avenue for the resump-
ton of negotiations and raised hopes
for a renewal Of the joint conferences
of miners, owners and the govern
ment.
Brace declared that the men were
ready for a desperate fight to the fin
ish. He painted a gloomy picture of
the Its for [ United Kingdom
unless an agreement were speedily ar
rived at, and pleaded for a settlement
before these miners begin to starve.
The Miners Have Little Hope.
The. labor leader declared that the
miners realized the extent Of the gov
ernment's resources, and know full
well that their action probably would
result in defeat. But he pointed out
that if they were crushed, the miners
would return to the pits in a sullen
and revengefuI mood.
"In that event." he said, what would
happen to the output? What would
happen to Great Britain as a first
class nation?"

FIND IRON ORE IN OREGON
New Mining Project In Northwest
Now Being Considered by Mime
sofa and Wisconsin Men.

Minneapolis. = Minnesota and Wis
consin men, prominent in numbering

pans for the uncovering OF an extern
sive iron ore deposit in Oregon.
Known definitely to be of great ex-
tent and with $3.50 per cent hema-
tite test upon analysis at the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, the deposit lacks
definition as yet as to the average
depth, but has been found to strike
down sixteen feet in places. The
deposit is in the columbia and Neha-

serious consideration was given to
thestories that iron ore of sufficient
quantities and quality had been dis
covered in Oregon one OF the pro-
matters said. I'VE have since worked
quietly, prosecuting this investiga-
