PLAN FUEL SUPPLY
FOR SMALL USERS
Committeeman Draft Series
of Suggestions as to
Coal Distribution.

New plans of coal distribution de-
signed to care for the needs Of small
consumers were considered today at
a special meeting OF the central fuel
committee.
Secretary Hoover. chairman OF the
committee, was understood to have
drafted a series of suggestions re-
lating to the distribution of both
bituminous and anthracite under the
fuel legislation now before Congress.
The general idea of the new pro-
gram was understood to involve the
cooperation Of local bodies. such as
chambers of commerce. with the
large Industries and railroads in the
various localities working in contact
with the federal and state organize =
tions to safeguard the small consumers
in their coal supply
Cars loaded with coal totaled 2S.4S7
cars on Friday. September 8. accord
ing to reports to the Association of
Railway Executives from the carriers
Of the country, an increase of 249 cars
over the preceding day. The Eastern
Pocahontas, northwestern and central
western districts reported heavier
loadings compared with the previous
day. but there were small decreases in
other districts.

ton virtually all of the property
seized by the city government from
the mission board in 1917, Acting Sec

Secretary Philips stated that the
Mexicans still were holding a vacant
plaza in front Of the main property
which had been used by the mission
board for school purposes. but gave no
further information regarding the re-
turn of the property. The school and
land were taken by the municipal au-

ARMY Of efficient
OFFICERS ASSURED
Weeks Says PIucking Will
Leave Only Those Rated
as "Average."

The officer personnel of the Regular
Army will be all of average" rating
or above in professional efficiency,
when the work of the elimination
board of general officers has been
completed this fall. Secretary Weeks
said today. The action of Congress
in amending the terms of the re-
duction bill has made it certain, Mr..
Weeks added. that the board will
complete it's work within less than
the time specified.
The Army rating of average" for
officers is exceedingly high. AS laid
down in regulations it is thus de-
fined: efficient: Duty we'll per-
satisfactory"
Before Congress amended the orig
inal reduction bill. Mr.. Weeks pointed
out, 1t would have been necessary to
separate a large number of officers
with average" rating from the
service. With the extended demotion
list now provided. the men to be
stricken from the rolls would sub
stantially all be of below average
rating, he said.
Secretary Weeks said that Brig.
Gems. Chase W. Kennedy and Richard
NJ. blatcn1ofo nad Deen asked TO ap-
ply for retirement in advance Of the
specified date for their withdrawal
from active service. Both men would
retire normally next January, but
will ask to be retired by December /,
in order that their withdrawal may
make way for younger officers in con-
nection with the work of the reduc-
ton board.
The War Secretary emphasized the
statement that action of the reduc-
tion board on the case of any officer
was final and that no influence of any
kind was permitted to affect its rul-
ings.

PORTLAND. Me, September H.
The first state election of 1922 was
under way in Maine today with a
United States senator, four repre-
sentatives to Congress and a gov
ernor heading the officials to be
chosen. The adage. LAS Maine goes
so goes the country" attracted ma
ton wide interest in the result. al
though only a tremendous turnover
would change the present republican
control.
Eight women were seeking seats in
the legislature and ten sought county
offices.
Senator Frederick Hale, republican,
was opposed by former Gov. Oakley
c. Curtis. democrat.
Gov. Percival P. Baxter, republican,
had former Attorney General W. r.
Pattangall, democrat, as an opponent.
The four present republican repre-
sentatives were up for reelection.
Democratic leaders maintained that
in the women's vote lay a potential
surprise for republican organization
heads, who predicted a plurality Of
10000.

You will tell me that America will read
my opinion in the Petit Parisien. This
is an observation which. coming from
one journalist to another. does not fall
upon a deaf ear. but what 1 want Is
not to be read, but to be heard.
NO one speaks for France-no one.
and the time has indeed come. 1 will
not say anything about conferences.
that is not my business-but this Is the
moment to tell the United States that
they are making a mistake-that we are
neither militarists nor imperialists. and
that the French people deserves the en-
thusiastic confidence of its friend.
To Give Four Lectures.
America asks me my opinion and l
will give it. So to plead our cause l
need neither preparation nor documenta-
tion. Arguments are not lacking and il
is not a question OF triumphai voyage
but of a useful one"
Couldn't you give me the gist of
your line of argument?" asked the
interviewer.

will leave about the 1st of Novem-
ber
But it is understood that I have
no mission, and that l will accept

my views and | give them, that's

The interviewer asked if he is to
speak of the war, to which he re-
piled:
Yes, and first of all to recall that
elementary truth that the aim of
the war is peace: then to say that
IL the allies remained in peace what
they were in war. the world would
not be struggling in the midst of
so much wretchedness and so many
difficulties. To the Americans. I shall
say much about America and also
little about England"
And about the treaty." suggested
the interviewer.
Yes, indeed, 1 shall have something
to say about that" was the reply.
"It must be made clear. once for all
or once more. that this treaty re-
moves all pretext for war OF re-
venge by the Germans.

"Ah = we had made that i'm
perialistic peace that the enemies of
France reproach US with. IL there
had been four or five German pro-
testing deputies. as there were French
ones, in the reichstag between 1870

REPORT ON TARIFF
LIKELY TOMORROW

The conference report on the admin
istration tariff bill was in the making
today. the republican conferees hav-
ing reached q final agreement on the
2,436 points in dispute between the
Senate and House after seventeen
days of labor. Under present plans
the report will be presented to the
House tomorrow and formally rati-
fed there on Wednesday. 1t then will
go to the Senate. where leaders hope
for final action before the end of the
week
Compromises were necessary on
practically all of the high spots in
the bill. Thus. long staple cotton,
which the Senatt had proposed to tax
at cents a pound, went back to the
free list, while the tax on sugar was
fixed at 22O cents a pound on full
duty and 176 cents on Cuban raw.
The Senate rates were $50 and 1874,
respectively. and the House rates 1.6.
In agreeing to d duty of 81 cents a
pound on raw wool, secured content,
the Senate conferees yielded cents.
while the House managers accepted
an increase Of cents over the House
rate. With this decrease from the
Senate duty of 33 cents a pound,
slight reductions were made in the
compensatory rates on wooden goods.
Although both the House and Sen
ate rejected a proposal to continue
the recent dye embargo licensing sys-
tenn, the conferees agreed to its con-
tinuance for one year. with authority
for the President to keep it in force
for an additional year. Duties on
dyes will be based on American valu-
alton, but with the rates considerably
below those approved by the Senate
and nearly double those proposed by
the House. The duties agreed upon
were cents a pound and so per cent
on Intermediates and cents a pound
and so per cent on finished dyes.
