Washington, Nov. 7. An imme diate investigation of charges that coal operators and dealers are not carrying out the orders of the fuel administration fixing prices and gov erning distribution will be started by the Department of Justice. Orders have been prepared direct ing all federal district attorneys to study the fuel administration's regu lations and to see that they are en forced. The directions will call for a careful sifting of charges and prose cutions wherever it appears that the law has been violated. Seizure of coal from trains by Ohio mayors and city officials will be left, the fuel administration an nounced tonight, to the Ohio state fuel administrator for action. In a statement issued earlier in the day, Fuel Administrator Garfield charac terized this sort of confiscation as ,"ji'hoesale robbery." A'l trans-shippers of coal at New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Hampton Roads, were ordered by the fuel administration today to make fu ture shipments through the Tidewater coal exchange to expedite the move ment of coal cars. "This order," said a statement ac companying it, "will result, it is esti mated, in increased production of ap proximately 10,000,000 tons of coal a year, on account of decrease in deten tivm of cars at the ports and there fore an increased supply of coal at the mines.

The old fight to have theNebraska State Teachers' association meet al ternately in Lincoln and Omaha by a constitutional amendment, came up yesterday afternoon in the superin tendents' and principals' section in the session and was voted down. Super intendent F. F. Gordon of Emerson introduced the resolution. He also in troduced a resolution that the teach ers of the state be federated into a federated union, and that, too, was voted down. To make his appeal for the alter nating of the convention place be tween Lincoln and Omaha stronger, the suprintendent said he felt sure that Mr. Parrish of the Bureau of Publicity of the Omaha Commercial club and Superintendent Beveridge of the Omaha schools were men of too big calibre to insist on having the conventions in Omaha each year. To General Body. ' Superintendent J. A. True of Schuy i fer took all the punch out of Gordon s argument by saying that Lmcoln never could accomodate the teachers because it lacked the hotel facilities. Superintendent True pointed out that the present constitution provides that the teachers themselves shall vote from year to year in a referendum where to hold their convention the following year. "That is the most democratic way in the world," said Sperintendent True, "and I cannot see the need of bringing up this fight for the convention at Lincoln again just to accommodate a certain com mercial club." Superintendent Gordon insisted lie was merely asking the superintend ents' and principals' section to ap prove the resolution, and that 100 signatures must be obtained to the petition before it can be submitted Someone moved to adjourn and the fight ended at once. It is expected that the contention for such a petition and constitutional amendment will be carried to the business session of the general body the latter part of the week. Superintendent C. Ray Gates, West Point, was elected president of the superintendents' and principals' asso ciation and Earl Myers, Geneva, vice president; Anna Jelen, Verdigre, sec retary and J. A. Doremus, Aurora, member of the Reading Circle board. Boy Plays With Matches; Barn Destroyed by Fire Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. 7. (Spe cial.)

All Food No Waste! U. S. DELEGATES TO ALLIED MEET REACHBRITAIN (Continued from Face On.) which are of vital importance to the successful prosecution of the war. "There will undoubtedly be an ef fort to avoid any conflict of interest among the participants, and there is every reason to anticipate that the result will be fuller co-operation and consequently much higher efficiency and a more vigorous prosecution of the war. "The United States in the employ ment of its man power and material resources desires to use them to the greatest advantage against Germany. It has been no easy problem to deter mine how they can be used most ef fectively since the independent pre sentation of requirements by the al lied governments have been more or less conflicting on account of each government's appreciation of its own wants which are naturally given greater importance than the wants of other governments. A General Survey. "By a general survey of the "whole situation and a free discussion of the needs of all, the approaching con ference will undoubtedly by able to give the demands of the several gov ernments their true perspective and proper place in the general plans for the conduct of the war. "Though the resources of this country are vast they are not without limit. But even" if they were greater they should all be used to he high est advantage in attaining the su preme object for which we are fight ing. This can only be done by a full and frank discussion of the plans and needs of the various belligerents. It is the earnest wish of this gov ernment to employ its military and nava forces and its resources and energy where they will give the great est return in advancing the common cause. The exchange of views which will take place at the conference and the conclusions which will be reached, will be of the highest value in pre- venting waste of energy and in bring ing into harmony the activities of the nations which have been unavoidably acting in a measure independently. "In looking forward to the assem bling of the conference it cannot be too strongly emphasiied that it is a war conference, and nothing else, de voted to devising ways and means to intensify the efforts of the belligerents against Germany by complete co operation umlcr a general plan and thus bring the conflict to a speedy ami satisfactory conclusion."
