NORTH OAGTA MUST LOOK TO WYOMING COL This Field Assigned by United States Fuel Commissioner , to Distant Field ° ANTHRACITE RECEIPIS 4,000,009 TONS SHORT No Chance of Sufficient Eastern Supply—All Simmers Down to Native Lignite That the entire state of North Da- kota must depend upon Wyoming fields {or the bulk of its coal other than lignite during the coming cold season is an impression gained by lo- cal fuel dealers from late bulletins of the United States fuel commission. Very little Montana coal will come in- to the state, they believe. Mines at Red Lodge are controlled by the Northern Pacific, which will conszme practically the entire output of these fields in its’ locomotives .and shops. . lear Creek coal has been command-} eered by other railway companies, and Wyoming mines are the nearest, source of supply other than native lignite ficlds left open to North Da- kota. 4,000,000 Tons Short. “There is a shortage of four million tons of anthyacite at the head of the lakes,” said a Lismarck fuel dealer} today, “and no one/who knows any-| thing about the situation can expect} that any large percentage Of this will| be. made up, There’s not enough boats on the Dig lakes to handle this amount in the short time left before; navigation closes, and it is equally certain it-can’t be brought in by rail. if we can’t use that we will have to rely on the semibituminous coals of Wyoming. - ‘ "Prices Cut Down. 4 “The fuel commission already has cut down the price of Wyoming coal 75 cents at the mine. The reductions on slack and screenings have been much more, so much, in fact, that the! producers have rébelled and are re- fusing to ship out anything but mine run coal. This stuff is full of slack,| not easy to handle, and there is a big) loss in it. The coal is selling, how- ever,.for $7.75 per ton, within 75 cents of as little as we have been avle to get it for in the last two years.” Wyoming has a great wealth of coal and can easily supply the north- western district which, it is under- stood has been assigned to.the ,produ- cers of this state, with instructions! to take care of this territory and to} leave other districts to other fields.

RED CROSS MEN’ WIN FAME “FOR ~_ HEROISM ABROAD | Major ‘Murphy Tells’ of Deeds of | Bravery by- Americans on Several Battle Fronte. ~~ MANY GET SPECIAL HONORS Described—Field Service Now Has Forty Scctions Actually on Duty on the French Front. Paris.—Deeds of heroic courage by American ‘Red Cross men on several battle fronts have just been described here in a statement by Maj. Grayson P, Murphy, American led Cross com- ifissioner for Europe. He also gives details of the vast and many-sided ac- tivities the organization has been car- rying on, which now ‘are being multi- plied many times. Following out its previously ‘an- nounced project, the commission has already established relief and rest sta- tions for the troops at points where they must lie over while in transit from the base receiving camps to the train- ing camps near the front. Owing to the’ demorhlized’ condition of the French railways, troops are often | obliged to spend, between 48 and 72 hours in making a journey that could ordinarily be accomplishgd in 12 hours. The cars in which they are trans- ported are frequently small French freight cars, into which 30, more often 40, men are crowded. The result has been that cases of measles, mumps, diphtheria and on numerous occasions more serious diseases have broken out among th¢ men, To provide against such an esigency, station dispensaries, each containing ten beds, a doctor and two nurses, have been opened. Sus- pected ca: or men asking for treat- ment are handled immediately instead of awaiting for the arrival of the train at its destination, The patients are yisited each day by some member of the Red Cross, who brings them tobac- co, ‘sweets or something to read, the purchases being made from the funds which the United States has so gener- ously subscribed. . Another activity of the Red Cross consists in the bringing to rance of about twenty Belgian police dogs, which will be trained to go out and look for wounded. The dogs have been tried out in other armies, notably the French and Russian, and have reached a high. degree, of proficiency in their work. J Training the Dogs. The method of training is to start in to teach the dog to fetch an object, usually a man’s cap. Then he is taught to seek out the wearer of the cup, to return and lead the trainer to the | have also been used with great suc- cess in detecting the presence of wounded men caught in the enemy’s wire entanglements and unable to es- cape through weakness. With the formal transfer of the American ambulance to the American army, the ambulance ceases to exist, in name, as an auxiliary ‘service of the French army, although it will be virtually continued as such until such time as the American army decides it needs it for its own uses. The Amer- jean ambulance is not, however, at the present time under the control of the Red Cross, although that develop- ment may later occur. Two of the most recent members of the ambulance to receive the war cross and army citations are Basil K. Neftel of Larchmont, N. Y., leader of Section 17 of the field service, and Ora R. McMurray of Madison, Wis. a graduate of the University of Wis- consin. Neftel has been over a year in the service, and has been twice wounded in the performance of his duty.

In. addition to the Creix de Guerre, or War Cross, Elliston was singled out for special distinction, being award the Cross with Palms, which means an act of unusual bravery.

By five o'clock the blue-conted poilus had swarmed over the Bulgarian en- trenchments, bayoneting or bombing any of the enemy who remained to offer resistance. The enemy counicr- attack was slow in organizing, and the poilus began the tiresome work of consolidating the position, Almost at high noon the violence in the en- emy’s shell fire presaged the coming counter-attack, Fifteen minutes la- ter the Bulgars came over the top of their second line of defense and hurled themselves on the small band of French. The latter held firm and not only succeeded in driving off the counter: attack, but chased the enemy back to their second line, blowing up the dugouts and putting a number of machine guns out of action, It was during the intense heat of the mid day and the concentrated fire of the Bulgarian y guns that the Aen % oo OOOO OOOO OOIID &% How World Lines Up Against Kaiser; F x Germany Faces Odds of Eight to One &' Fy Nations at war with Germany, with the date of declaration and PY dO o COOK Relations Broken.

No facilities were at hand for their treat- ment, and an ambulance was. asked for to evacuate the wounded, who were in dire straits. Elliston volunteered for the work. During the heaviest part of the bom- bardment, while the enemy guns wete still showering high explosive shells on the newly won territory, he drove his machine over the rough, shell-pitted ground. Instead of the sign of the Red Cross diverting the Bulgarian fire, it- seemed rather to attract it. Shrapnel and tear-com- pelling shells burst all around the young American, but. under the most terrific fire he thrice made the jour- {ney in safety and carried to the base hospital every dangerously wounded case, Lose 50 Ambulance Chassis. Charles M. Ashton of Philadelphia was on duty at a relief post follow- Ing up the French advance in the Champagne and also awaiting the call to drive his machine to the front. The Germans were vigorously shell- ing the entire district when a shrap- nel shell burst within twenty fect of the young man’s ambulance. Two of the balls struck him, one in the ab- domen, the other in the arm, while = piece of the shell inflicted’ a nasty wound on his leg. Thanks to the prompt action of the surgeons, he will recover, but will probably be invelided out of the-service. Despite the loss of fifty ambulance chassis when the steamer Orleans, the first American ship to run the Ger- man submarine blockade, was tor- pedoed about a month ago, the American field service succeeded in placing three new ambulance sections (n the field last week and two addi- tional transport sections, One of the ambulance sections, No, 30, is composed entirely of Harvard men, with Ralph R. Richmond of Milton, Mass., as section commander. | Transport section No. 242 has also a oumber of Harvard men in its ranks, its commander being a Harvard boy, Thomas H. Dougherty of Philadel- phia. Transport section L is com- manded by George G. Struby of Den- iver, Colo, a Yale graduate, who his already won glory and the war cross for bravery in action, while the other two ambulance sections, No. 69 and No. 70, are commanded by Charles A. Butler of New York, a graduate of Columbia, and Arthur J. Putnam of Deposit; N. Y., a Cornell man, re- spective Altogethér, the field service now has forty sections actually in service at various parts of the French front, of which twenty-nine are ambulance sections, for transporting the wound- ed, and eleven transport sections, for the handling of munitions and sup- plies. This represents a personnel of | close to 2,500 volunteers, for the most ‘part young Americans from the best families in the United States. American aviators flying with the French forces came tn for their share of mishaps during the past week. Lawrence Scanlon of Cedarhurst, L. L, otherwise known as “Red” Scan- lon, had one of the narrowest. escapes on record when his machine, getting out of control, fell from a height of 1) ‘eet and crashed onto the roof of an army bakery at Avord, the French training camp for aviators. Scanlon was making a trial flight In a Nieuport and had circled around In the most approved professional manner, and had started to descend. | Of a sudden his motor stopped. Never hefore having had experience with a “panne de motour,” the young avia- tor decided the best course was to get to the earth with the least possible loss of time. He aimed for the avia- tion ficld, but an error in judgment or a stray gust of wind drove him and he came down upon the y roof with a force that drove the nose of the Nievport clear | through, Unhurt, but slightly stunned, Sean- lon scrambled out of the debris and climbed down off the roof by means of a ladder that had been left propped against the wall. Just as he started off to report the captain of the camp came rushing up, and seeing Scanlon going away from the scene of the ac- cident, ordered him back to assist in the removal of the supposedly dead in, or to go call a doctor if it was discovered he was seriously wounded, Scanlon saluted the captain, saying: “He's all right, captain.” “Tow do you know? Who was 3t that fell?” demanded the captain, “Tyas 1, captain,” replicd the young American, saluting again, “Well, you have had the most re |markable- escape I have gver wit nessed,” declared the captain. “Young man, you were never made to be in- jured by a fall from an airplane.” The speed with which it feli was such that the nose was completely six feet of theetail protruding th: the outside of the roof. —.
