SPECTRE OF COAL SHORTAGE STALKS IN DUAL KINGDOM Miners Brought Back From Front Unable to Work Becanse of Emaciated Bodies PUBLIC WORKS MINISTER HOLDS OUT LITTLE HOPE Von Hamann Says Situation Must Be Faced With No Optimism and With Utmost Seriousness— Prof. Delbrueck Twitg Michaelis— Reichstag Main Committee Dis- Government of Occupied Territory. Herr cusses Basle, Switzerland, Aug. 29.—Herr von Hamann, the Austrian minister of public works startled the Austrian chamber of deputies yesterday by giv- ing it as his official opinion that the coal crisis had become a vital ques- tion for Austria-Hungary, according to Vienna advices today. The situ- ation, he declared, was one which must be faced without optimism and with the utmost seriousness. In an effort to remedy matters, continued the minister, 12,600 miners have been brought back to the mines from the front but during August the authorities had been unable to effect an increase in production because of the under-nourishment of the work- . ers and their consequent inability to work harder or put in long hours. After the ministerial speech had heen delivered the economic commit- tee of the chamber introduced a bill creating a government monopoly of coal and authorizing the government to forbid the heating of all places of amusement except theaters and@ mu- seums and to close luxurious hotels. Problem for Michaelis. Copenhagen, Aug. 29.—Attacks up- on Imperial Chancellor Michaelis continue and Prof. Hans Delbrueck now asks him an embarrassing ques- tion concerning peace. In the Prus- sian year book, Prof. Delbrueck in- quires of Dr. Michaells, why, if he ‘ really accepts the Reichstag resolu- tion as the basis of his policy, he neglects to answer the inquiry made on July 26 in the English house of commons by former Premier Asquith regarding Germany’s readiness to evacuate and restore Belgium. Prof. Delbrueck, who openly ques- tions the good faith of the chancellor in professing to agree with the terms . of the resolution, asks whether his silence in the face of Mr. Asquith’s summons does not show that those are right who insist that Dr. Michae- lis takes another standpoint from that contained in the resolution. “If the German government is ready to conclude a peace upon basis of no aunexations and no indemni- ties,” asks the professor, “why all ‘this unprecedented apparatus of a joint committee of the Reichstag and Bundesrath to assist the chancellor in drawing up a simple answer to the Por‘(‘n proposal of peace on that basis The truth is, says Prof. Delbreuck, that Dr. Michaelis does not enjoy the confidence of the Reichstag. He could not possibly do so, the writer adds, after last week's events in the Reichstag main committee and his tacit submission to the assertion that he is in reality opposed to the reso- lution. Neither the German nation nor the world knows what the chan- cellor's policy is. The Reichstag’s resolution, Prof. ' Delbreuck concludes, would have had a different effect if it was not be- lieved abroad that the Reichstag is powerless and the chancellor |is double-tongued. In his speech former Premier As- quith asked if Germany was pre- pared to evacuate Belgium, to make veparation and to restore absolute in- ¢ dependence to Belgium. He said he would like to know the German an- swer to these questions. Opposes Parliamentary Reform. Copenhagen, Aug. 29.—The Staats Zeitung of Munich, the organ of the Bavarian government, publishes a Berlin communication against the Introduction of a parliamentary re- gime in Germany as opposed to the character of the empire. . The Staats Feltung declares that all the tederal states undoubtedly share the view expressed by the centrelst speaker in the Reichstag, who sald that his sarty welcomed the chancellor’s in ention to bring about closer rela- ions between the government and urliament, but it must reject any lmpering with the federated char- rcter of the empire and the rights of the federal states.

One of the most noted movements to which he gave his support and in which he was a leading spirit was the Public House Trust company of England, an enter- | prise designed to supplant the ordi- nary saloons for the sale of intoxi- cating liquor by the establishment of well conducted public houses and to ! discourage the use of intoxicants by | substitution of tea and coffee. He Loved America, Earl Grey was an intimags friend of late Joseph ‘H, Choate, American | ambassador to Great Britain, often | visited the United States, called upon Presidents Roosevelt and Taft at ‘Washington, and declared that he was | a lover of America.

KENNEDY DEAD Rector of American College at Rome, Native of Pennsylvania, Had Been 111 Since 1914. Rome, Aug. 29—Monsignor Thomas F. Kennedy, rector of the American college in Rome, is dead after a long illness.

Kennedy was a native of Pennsylvania and had been in charge of the coliege since 1901. He was appointed titular bishop of Adrianople in 1907 and titular archbishop of St. Leucia of Isauria In 1916.

He was a member of parlia- ment from Northumberland for six years beginning in 1880. On the death of his uncle, General Sir Charles Grey, in 1894, he suceeded to the title and took his seat in the House of Lords. For two generations pre- | viously the KEarls Grey had been prominent -in the political affairs of the British empire. His grandfather had been prime minister of England and his uncle private secretary to a queen. Becoming associated with the late Cicil Rhodes, Earl Grey entered en- thusiastically into plang for the de- velopment of South Africa, was pro- moter of the South African Chartered Company, was concerned in the Jameson rald, amassed a fortune and in 1896 became administrator of Rho- desia where he proved to be a cap- able and constructive administrator.

His administration was described as E‘ quiet but uniform success. He was a strong advocate of imperial federa- tion and urged Canadians to share the burden of England's defense. Although born an aristocrat, Earl| Grey was very democratic in his sym- pathies.

Moscow, Aug. 29.—At the third general sitting of the national con-- ference, rallway representatives, in- cluding M. Frotoff of the engineers’ alliance, reported that there existed a state of utter disorganization of trans- portation which, unless improved, would cease completely by November, The representatives gave warning that the consequences would be ter- rible both at home and on the front and that the army might turn on the country and commit unexampled ex- cesses. The extreme demands of the rail- way workers, the speakers said, played an important part in this dis- organization. They called on all those engaged in the transport serv- ice to sacrifice personal interests for those of the country. M. Grusenberg, speaking as the representative of the Jews, said that they loved their country, notwith- standing their unprecedented perse- cution under the old regime, and had contributed greatly to the emancipa- tion of the people and the defense against the enemy.

Parade and Speeches Are Planned for Evening As Farewell to Men Who Will Defend “Old Glory.” New Britain is to do her part in honoring the native sons who will soon embark for France for service in the army. Already steps have been taken by a citizens committee to arrange for a monster demonstration to be held in this city next Monday evening when a parade and speech- making will be held to aid in the fund created for purchasing the “boys" necessities of army life while battling on the war front. The com- mittee selected is as follows: W. W. Leland, chairman and treagdurer; Eu- gene J. Porter, Judge Willlam F. Mangan, Willlam T. Sloper, Morti- mer H. Camp and Frederick W. Greene. The aim of the committee is to se- cure voluntary subscriptions from lo- cal residents and with ,the proceeds purchase articles such as writing pa- per, pipes, tobacco, etc. The com- mittee has decided on Mr. Greene as the authorized agent for the receipt of contributions. Already the patriotism .and gener- osity of local residents has been manifested by the contribution of sufficient funds to cover the cost of the band and $150. Following a street parade in which various organizations will march, a rally such as Hardware City folk have not witnessed in years will be held.

Neutral May Retaliatc by Establishing Export Assessment on Iron Ore Destined for Germany. Stockholm, Aug. 29.—Swedish in- dustrial and business circles are stirred greatly over an export tax of 26 kronen a ton which Germany has put on. all coal for shipment to Sweden. The tax is effective at once. Germany has also imposed a tax on parcel post, payable after August 15. In some circles it is urged that Sweden retaliate by putting a tax on Swedish products, especially iron ore, but nothing has yet been decided. Export licenses for wood pulp for England, France and Italy have been extended greatly in the past two weeks. This is taken here as a sign of better commercial relations between Sweden , and the Entente powers. WHEAT PRICE DISAGREEMENT. Committee Unable to Settle Question After Several Ballots.
