Senate Committee Told That

This Winter.
Washington, Nov. 23. Prospects
for a fuli ;uppiy of anthracite this
winter are good, the senate com
merce committee was told today at
the reopening of its investigation
of the fuel administration. Arthur
Learoyd, director of the adminis
tration's distribution, division, out
lined territorial allotments for the
season, and was sharply questioned
by Chairman Reed, particularly con
cerning 3,600,009 tons assignel to
Canada.
"Do you mean to say that if
is suffering in this country
want of coal the fuel admin
ii will give Canada its full
nt?" asked Chairman Reed,
sir, that is our orders,
u-re it is shown that Canada suf
fers equally with the United States,"
he replied.
"Who gave these orders?" asked
, Senator Reed.
"I understand they came from the
president of the United States,"
'Do you know that they came
from the president?"
"Dr. Garfield has so stated."

has been forced upon them in order
to conserve food.
The British narrator says that
the bolshevik strength in Petro
grad, as well as in Moscow, has
increased since the attempts on
Lenines life and the advances in
the Volga region, largely because
many Russian liberals believe that
they must choose between the bol-
,sheviki and the extreme reaction
aries, as none of the faction leaders
in the center show strength.'

shevlki and has accepted a oosition

The, petrograd commune recently
required householdjars to give Qver

Archangel, Nov. 23. The Ameri
can and entente troops have en
. countered strong opposition bcth, on
the Vologda-Archangel railway and
on the Dvina river. Owing to ,the
swampy condition of the terrain, it
ha been necessary to confine oper
ations to the waterway and the
railway. As the upper part of the
river is deeper than at its mouth
the bolsheviki craft, equipped with
i large guns, have been tTetter able
to maneuver than the entente ships,
- and have prevented the occupation
of Kotlas by the allies.
A plan is under discussion In mili
v tary circles for the creation, of a
; voluntary army for Russian relief,
should the allies agree upon the ppl-
icy of feeding Russia.

OF MAN WANTED

doubt of the president's selection.
Such a man as Maj.-Gen. George W.
Goethals is wanted, it was stated
today a man with executive ability,
not closely connected heretofore
with , railroad management, who
could view problems from the pub
lic standpoint, and at the same
time could direct the staff and or
ganization already built up by Mr.
McAdoo.
On the' new director-general of
railroads, whoever he may be, will
devolve the task of guiding the
roads through the readjustment pe
riod. This task will apply to many
phases of employment conditions,
rate practices, traffic reforms, ter
minal consolidations, distribution of
newly purchased cars and locomo
tives, policies of government financ
ing of additions, betterments, ex
tensions and equipment purchases,
continuation of rerouting and short
hauling, standardization of operat
ing methods and measures to in
crease the trafhc capacity, or the
rail system to handle the big volume
of freight expected by students of
industrial development during the
next few years.
Upon the policies of the new rail
director will depend largely
whether the government slfall con
tinue combining the railroads into a
homogenous unit or begin the
"breaking up" process in preparation
for resumption of private control.
From the president's selection, ob
servers believe, may be determined
to a large degree the attitude of the
administration on the railroad's future.
This is one reason why the pick
ing of a new director general is re
garded as fraught with such unusual
significance.
Although Mr. McAdoo will retire
to private life, his friends say he has
no thought of refraining from ex
pressing his ideas on governmental
policies from time to time. Particu-
arly wul'iie remain interested in the
railroad question and those in close
touch with Mr. McAdoo would not
be surprised to see him come for
ward in a few months with specific
recommendations for the nation's
consideration of the railroad issue.
Mr. McAdoo is said by his friends
to look with disfavor on restoration
of individual railroad competition
and there have been many reports
that eventually he would advocate
complete government ownership, to
be effected by exchange of govern
ment bonds for railroad securities.
Formally and officially, however,
Mr. McAdoo never has indicated
this attitude:

Paris, Nov. 23.-The entry of
French troops into Strassburg will
complete the liberation of Alsace.
The military occupation of the city,
at which King Albert of Belgium
will be present with Marshal Foch,
says the Petit Journal, will be fol
lowed by another ceremony.
At a conference of President
Poincare, Premier Clemenceau and
Marshal Foch at the Elysee palace
Friday it was decided that the entry
of the civil authorities would take
place December 8, in the presence
