Phone Main 1032-1033 turned from a tour of the coal mining centers, in ‘an address before the Optimist Club at the Arlington Hotel yesterday. Mr. White said that from all ap- pearances the men would be back at work twenty-four hours after the agreement is_signed, this time being needed to ailow word to go from union headquarters to the men of the various locals engaged in the strike. Little Change in Price. Regarding the price of coal, he stated, the government supervision of distribution apparently would result in maintaining for the coming winter prices approximately what they were 1 during_the past winter. Mr. White spoke informally of his trip. He said that during his inspec- tion of the coal mines he did not find any hard coal in sufficient quantities to mention, and his visual inspection of the situation clearly indicated that the surplus had been wiped out at the mines. Of course, he added, there is river coal to be had, which includes the buckwheat and rice types of coal, pumped from the riverbeds. A quantity of this sort of fuel was in evidence along the river banks, he declared, but this is virtually all eaten up in the Harrisburg. Pa., dis- trict, none of it customarily being exported from the region for ship- ment. New Fuel Consuper. Mr. White also.made public plans for the bringing to Washington of an agency for a new type of fuel con- sumer. #He announced that coal bills { would possibly W cut in large estab- !l|shmenls to the amounts of thou- i .

And’ the half- hundred or so world-war veterans who tramped over burning sands to witness a “show” staged by the Tank Corps went home congratulating themselves all over again about hav- ing come safely through the late unpleasantness abroad and hoping fervently, they will never see the day when their services are again needed. There's a hill out at Camp Meade known to the initiated as Hill 285 A little after the United States en- tored the world war and Camp Meade was thrown together, soldiers-in-the- making began defending and attack- ing that hill every day or so. And since Camp Meade has become a sum- mer training center, old Hill 285 has been the scene of more attacks and counter attacks than any other piece of |ground in thess parts. 1t's an ideal i1l for attacking (when the enemy is only imaginary). because it gives the colonels and the generals such an excellent opportunity to stand in the shade and watch a bunch of sweating doughboys try it, then call them back and make them do it over again. It's a steep,.sandy hill, which siopes down on one side to a wooded ridge, and on the other side, very sharply, t6 a level. sandy, unshaded plain. There's plenty of room all around the battlefield for spectators. Altogether, Hill 285 couldn't have boen better suited for a battleground if it had been made to order. A Mackine Gun Nest: TYesterday the student soldiers and anybody else who wanted to see the show were invited to witness a dem- jonstration of how. the. tanks would wipe out a nest of machine guns on top of Hill 285, which had been mal ing trouble for the doughboys, a “| tacking from the plain below. It ‘was realistic enough. but we must imagine a few things. » First, the infantry had been a tacking the hill all day long. Th had tried flanking the-machine guns without success. _They had called on the supporting artillery for a barrage and the barrage, after falling short and killing a few of the doughboys, had failed t® wipe out the machine |guns. Every time there was a tiny | move from the thin.skirmish line of kahki the machine guns on Hill 285 put down a fire that wilted every- thing before it. Back in the dugouts the command- ing general -was fuming away and sending orders to theé brigadier, who s using unprintable language in s orders to the-colonel, who was telling the major, who was telling the captains,” that if Hill 285 wasn’t taken there were going to be enough court-martials to keep the judge ad- vocate general's department working overtime for a couple of years.

First, there was a rattle of rifie fire from the thin 1 fantry.

Closely fol- lowing the three large tanks in the van. sometimes = almost between i them, came a dozen smaller, light tanks.
