Besides employing in this work the German liners seized in this country, Dutch vessels taken over and all oth- er available transports, Mr. Baker said some part of the British trans- port tonnage' employed in carrying troops to France will continue to be: used in getting the men home. He pointed out, however, that Great Brit- ain will ‘need many of her ships to carry home Canadian, Australian, New Zealand and other -colonial fdrces which have been in France longer than the American armies. The secretary said the sgreat Brit- ish liners Mauretania, Olympic_and Aquitania have been in the American transport service for a year and that the Mauretania still is so engaged. He could net say whether the other two had been withdrawn. German liners now in German ports, Mr. Baker said, may offer a. means of exvediting the return of tilg Amer- ican forces. Present plans are to.usé these vessels to carry food to Ger:' many and the secretary said §t might be found possible to make:some ar- rangement under which some of Gen- eral Pershing's men could be sent! heme on them. - Before sailing for Eu-{ rope to arrange for the returm of the troops, Chairman Hurley of the ship-| ping board said it was the purpose to use ships now idle in German ports. Mr. Baker did not indicate ioday that| any definite steps to that end have! - vet been taken. ¢ | With the removal of the submarine| menace, the war secretary said, it will| be possible to bring home many: sol-; diers in cargo vessels. The shlvpmg{ board is commissioning many suc! vessels from day to day and they will be added to the fieet available for thel return of the army. For the next several weeks Mr, '.! ker expects returning transports to be laden entirely with sick and founded| men and those not immediately avail- able for military service, such as the; men who have been Aischarged from' hospitals in France, but who have not fully recovered their strangth. They, will be organized for purposes of transportation into provisional com- panies of from 100 to 150 men with the requisite number of officers and yill' be sent to designated cafips to be mustered out. It is assumed- that ef-| forts will be made in France to put into each provisional company men: from the same general locality in the Tnited States in order to ease the de- mobilization transportation problem' on_this side, Secretary Baker also revealed today that a general principle to govern the rayment to be made to Great Britain for services rendered by her transport fleet or cargo craft in transporting or supplying American forces had been reached.

Realizing that they had failed in the first attack, the soldiers and sail- ors resumed their meeting and await- ed the arrival of reinforcements.

The opening of the doors of the gar- den was the signal for a second charge which the police wcre unable to _repel.

The screams of Irightened wo- men, most of them wearing red roses or. carnations in lieu of the forbidden flags, rose wbove the din as they clawed and scratched the soldiers and sailors who were pummeling the male socialists. Mounted police, reinforced by auto- raobile loads of reserves, rushed from every station house within a radius of a mile, struggled valiantly to clear the square, pbut made little progress. Soldiers and sailors, thoroughly anger- ed by what they considercd an insidi- ous attack on the flag they had sworn to defend, paid little attention to the blows from night stic! They were bent on getting revenge from the in- ternationalis SENATE COMMITTEE PROBING THE FUEL SITUATION Washington, Nov. 25.—Failure of coal producing agencies to utilize culm banks or waste coal to relieve the fuel shortage, and Fuel Administrator Gar- field’s objection to. Mayor Hylan's in» ventory Iast month of New York city’s coal supply, were subjects of inquiry today by the senate committee investi- gating the fuel situation. J. B. Neale, director of production for the fuel administration and owner of anthracite properties, told the com- mittee he knew of no alleged under- standing among mine owners to keep culm off the market as a means of maintaining high prices. He attributed the failure of the owners of culm banks to utilize fully that product to a_shortage of labor and a desire to prevent reduction of the output of fresh coal by taking men from the mines for the work of treating the cheaper grades. The committee asked that letters of Fuel Administrator Garfield to Mayor Hylan objecting to New York's inven- tory of its coal supply be produced and fuel administration officials agreed to present them tomorrow.
