| TUESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1917 BISMARCK EVENING. TRIBUNE COAL PRODUCERS ASKED TO: LIMIT CHRISTMAS TIDE Garfield Requests Producers and Miners to Shorten Holi- day Season. COAL FAMINE IS IMMINENT Stoppage of 2,000,000 Tons Per Day Output Serious Pros- pect to Country. Washington, Dec. 17.—Prospects of a widespread and serious coal famine unless coal production is. maintained, drew from Fuel Administrator Gar- field today a request that operators and miners take only Christmas day as a holiday this season, instead of the several days usually observed. The custom has been to stop work for at least turee days at both Christmas and New Year's. Every day the country’s mines are idle cuts production nearly two mil- lion tons. Householders throughout the nation will be taken care of first in coal dis- tribution, even ahead of industries, the fuel administration announced to- night. In line with this policy Admin- istrator Garfield today gave W. K. Prudden, fuel administrator for Mich- igan,, authority to shut of supplies to industrial plants or to any other users if necessary to meet the needs of do- mestic consumers. Mr. Prudden has asked to close down on non-essential users during the holidays. Dr. Gar- field replied: “You are hereby authorized to use your discretion, if you decide it nec- essary in order to meet domestic con- sumers’ needs. Issue orders closing some or all industrial plants, theaters, halls and places of amusement during the holidays.” State authorities elsewhere, it was announced, will be given the same powers if it appears the situation war- rants such radical measures.

With General Pershing’s Army in France, Dec. 18.—It is quite apparent now that we—the allies—fiave been fooling ourselves. Germany is not the down and out antagonist we have been making our- selves believe she was. If there vy no other proof the Teutons’ success against the Italians proves that. The collapse of Russia as a war factor has made Germany vastly stronger on the western front. The allies have a real jo) on their) hands. “The war will be over in three months after the big American army gets into action against the Boches,” is constantly heard from many young American officers, none of whom have even been in a battle before, This is PURE PIFFLE.’ Fortunately for America, this con- fidence is not shared by the older,| seasoned officers.’ They are almosi as a unit in declaring there is stern business ahead for our—troops—an:- thing but the picnic their younger col- leagues picture. The British, who have been putting up a winning fight against the Ger- mans on the western front for a long time, aren't deceiving themselves as to the real situation. Coming back from Belgium the oth- er day, I rode for several hours with a high British officer, who freely dis- cussed the war. “To my mind,” he told me, “four things are necessary before the aliies finally win: “1, We must gain for ourselves overwhelming mastery of the air. “2. We must so outnumber the en- emy with men, guns and munitions manner as Germany has crushed some of our weaker allies. “3. We must quit thinking that Germany is going to have an internal smashup that will put her out of bus: iness. “4, We must have a single control for the allied war operations. “One of Germany’s strongest points is that she absolutely controls the ar- mies of her allies, and is able to use them, at any time, to the very best possible advantage as_ occasions arise,” said the British officer. “Up to this time the entente allies have fought in sections regardless of one another, without co-ordinating our strategy.” J Every day on the avestern front it becomes more and more evident that complete control of the air is going to-be a determining factor in termin- ating the war. 1 was with the French army recent- ly when it scored some of its greatest victories, and its successes can be tensity of its artillery fire. This’ was made’ possivle by the as- tract, and/is used. p BIG JOB AHEAD FOR AMERICA sistance given by a vastly superior air service that succeeded in “blind- ing” the enemy by keeping his avia- tors far behind his own lines and at the same time located the German bat- teries and directed the fire of the French guns upon them.

To my mind it’s time to quit waii ing for Germany to “blow up” frow the inside, and to begin planni tew big knockout punches in which al the allied armies will. strike at thc same time in as many different place: as possible. I but repeat the statements of-many noted French, British and American war experts over here when I say that, regardless of what happens ‘in Italy and Russia, the war won't be ended in those theaters of conflict. To win, Germany must lick the Brit- ish, the French and the Americans on the western front. And Germany can NEVER do that. She may overrun weaker foes like Russia, Italy and Rumania but she's up against_an entirely different game °To Stop a Persistent, Hacking Cough The best remedy ts 00 easliy make at home. but very effective, you ean Cheap, Thousands of people normally healthy in every other respect, are annoyed with ® persistent hanging-on bronchial cough year after year, disturbing their sleep a and making life disagrecable.

The Eritish and the French, as fight- crs, Have shown themselves the mas- ters of the Germans. Time after time, during the present year, they have smashed the German trenches, cap- tured thousands ot prisoners, killed and wounded countless other thou sands and pushed their lines forward for big gains. In the presence of the wonderfur British and French troops the Ger- mans have shown themselves to be “quitters.” When America’s big army lines up with the British and French the su- periority over the Germans will Le even more marked. They will have the “big punch.” They'll win just as soon as they learn how to use it. SENATOR PENDRAY HERE. League Leader from Stutsman Attends Trial.
