I’ll I LADELI’HIA, Aug 23.—Fear
that the growing shortage of mine
labor will seriously curtail the hoped
for output of anthracite coal is ex
pressed by the operation association,
made up of leaders in the industry
In a statement issued from head
quarters in this city the association
warns the people that—
"Unless the production of domestic
sizes of anthracite can be increased—
something Impossible unless the la
bor power can be Increased and en
tirely possible should it be the dis
tribution of anthracite will fall short
of that which was contemplated in the
allotment made by tile fuel adminis
tration for the twelve months endian
on April 1 next.
"Such allotment was based upon an
estimated production of 54,345,783 tons
of domestic anthracite for the coal
j year. The actual output of domestic
anthracite sizes for the three months
I period to the end of June was 13,
2711.888 tons. That is at the rate of
53.12U.00o tons for the year, or 1,220.
unn tons less than was counted upon
in the estimate.
“Unless there can be accomplished
a decided picl.-up in the output, and
only additional labor power for the
anthracite industry can make this
possible, it will be necessary to pro
portionately cut down on the allot
ments of domestic anthracite to the
New Kngland and Atlantic states, to
which materially increased tonnages
of coal were allowed to meet their
larger requirements.
‘Tnder su< h conditions it will be
impossible to increase any of the cur
tailed shipments of anthracite to the
Central and Northwest states, as had
been*hoped, and to which states the
promise was made that their necessar*
i 1 v reduced allotments would be in
creased should it he possible to ex
pand the total production above the
f»-4.4r».7s:! tons of domestic coal esti
mated as the output for the year.
“Labor shortage has become more
| and more a restricting factor on pro
! duetion. There are only 1-44,000 mine
workers in the anthracite industry,
a number 33,ooo less than before the
! v.ar.”

NKW YORK, Auk. After trav
eling more than 20.ouu miles ami de
livering 111' addresses in every part
c.l the United States, Sir George
Adam Smiih, the Scottish clergyman
who has been making a speaking tour
of the lOuntry under the auspices ot
the national committee on the
churches and the moral aims of the
v ar, reported to the bureau of in
ft rmation of the British war mission
today that the American people every
where re fully aroused and heart and
soul in the war.
"Frot1 a very wide experience In
nli pat t of the country and among
.,11 lasses." says Sir George, "I am
sure tli.it the conscience, tile heart,
the will .and all the boundless ener
gies ol the United States are tlior
oughly and intelligently enlisted in
the war This is as true of tho more j
German centers ns of the rest of the
country 1 had nowhere a more cot
dial reception for my message titan
j in St l.ouls, Cincinnati and .Milwatt
| kee. and among men with German
names My chairmen and other
speakers were frequently men of tier-!
man descent.” Sir George came to
America laBt March.
"The mission with which 1 vas
charged," says Sir George, "was two
fold—to enforce the moral aims com
mon to the allies and to tell tlte part
w hich Rreat Britain has taken In the
war.
“"I found everywhere an enthusiastic
response to these sentiments and
arguments. I know that tho Ameri
can people are convinced of the jus
tice of our common cause and reso
lute to carry it through on these
moral issues which Germany hns
forced on the world.
•'1 found a good deal of ignorance
of the scale on which Great Britain
had been fighting and supporting the
war. and naturally of the details of
our warfare. Most Americans had
failed to value the man fronts—on
A
three continents- on which our ar
mies have lieen engaged; the vast
numbers of our armies which were
raised Indore conscription was estab
lished. or the extent of our sacrifices
I supplied them with (oncis*- infor
mation on each of these subjects.
.Many audiem* were amazed at tile
facts I gave them; and it would ha-«
been well worth coming' to \merica
fer this purpose alone"
GENERAL hS WAS IN

EL PASO, Tevas, Aug. -J. The as
sertion of Huston B Means, in Phi

was iu the employ of tin* Herman im
perial government, was not a surprise
lo federal officials on the border, who
uncovered the Huerta revolutionary
I lot and arrested Huerta in July. P.H.V
While being held for trial as a prP
idler at Port Bliss. (leneral Huerta
told his ‘guards that after he abdi
cated the presidency of Mexico he
went to Berlin and had a personal in

aid h<- h id gold deposits in banks <»t
London. Paris. Berlin and Barcelona.
Federal officers here believed the
Huerta movement was being financed
l»y the Herman government, and that
[he purpose of the movement was to
involve the Fnited States with Mexico
uni! prevent the shipment of muni
ions to Europe.
