LONDON, May 20.—When the story
of the humble mine-sweeper is fully
told, many stirring pages will be
added to the history of anti-subma-1
rine warfare, for this little craft is
sharing the work of the dashing de
stroyer and “chaser” in running down
U-boats. A mine-sweeper invariably
drops its accustomed business for the
bigger game, and many an enemy
submersible has been accounted for
by them.
According to official reports, there
are forty times more mine-sweepers
in commission today in the service
of the allies than in July, 1914,
Recently a fleet of six, all trawlers,;
sighted a mine adrift. The rough sea!
prevented the boats from sinking the j
mine by gunfire, darkness was com
ing on, and there was a possibility
of losing it. So the commander ap
proached the mine in a small boat, |
and when within some distance of
i the drifting menace he took to the
j water and swam the rest of the way.
j Attaching a line to the mine, he re
' turned to his boat and towed it
i ashore, where it was exploded by
j rifle lire.
Often days elapse before a mine
J which has been discovered can be de
j stroyed. In a terrific gale, with raouu
| tainous seas running, a party of mine
j sweepers found a nest ,of eight mines,
i The boats were unable to use their
guns on them, and as uight came on
the. little vessels lay to in imminent
danger of being washed onto the en
gines of death. Next day two of the
mines were sunk by gunfire, but one
of the sweepers was lost—how, the
report does not state. It was not
until the evening of the fourth day
•that the last of the mines was ex
ploded.
The trawler Manx King hauled up
a mine in such a dangerous position
that one horn of the mine came -within
a few inches of the boat’s rail, and
another was almost touching the gear.
The slightest roll of the vessel w-ould
have caused Its destruction. The dif
Acuity was met by lashing the mine
to the sweeper, so that it could not
be bumped against the side, and ex
erts were summoned to remove the
detonators from the dangerous prize. |

PHILADELPHIA. May 20.—Mil
lions of consumers throughout the
country are experiencing delay in the
filling of orders they placed for an
thracite coal since spring opened.
This in spite of the fact that, the
production now is the greatest in the
history of tl?e country. A circular is
sued by the anthracite committee of
the United States fuel administration
explains the situation. It says:
“Many complaints are being re
ceived from state administrators that
buyers of anthracite coal cannot ob
tain any satisfactory information rel
ative to their supply from parties with
whom they normally conduct their
business.
‘One of the producing companies is j
answering Inquiries as follows: ‘To
secure the most equitable distribu
tion of anthracite coal and to pro
vide the greatest satisfaction during
the coming year, it has been arranged
by the anthracite committee that the
dealers shall secure their coal from
the sources of supply that furnished
it during the coal year 1916-17. There
fore if you will take the matter up
with the company which supplied you
in that period you will be given every
onsideratlon.’
“The foregoing reply answers this
question satisfactorily, and, if you
agree,k we would be pleased to have
you make replies along the same
Tine.”
That the big work of co-ordinating
the distribution of .anthracite may be
handled with the best system and dis
patch, the anthracite committee has
asked that all local fuel administra
tors shall take up any question as to j
deliveries through their respective I
state fuel administrators instead of j
dealing direct with producing compa-!
nies.
