At its meeting in Montpelier Friday afternoon the state executive committee on coal conservation decided to establish a central office in Montpelier, to which all inquiries relative to. coal will be ad dressed. This wil'-necessitate a permanent secretary being in charge of the office so that all business will be handled promptly. The state fuel administrator, H. J.

M. Jones, will appoint a committee of three for each county, also committee of three for each city or town of 2500 population or over. The duties of these committees will be to make investigation and to recommend 'prices of coal in the different localities, said price to be ac. cording to the recommendations made by the national fuel administrator, and subjected to the approval of the state fuel administrator and national fuel administrator. The committees will also have power to regulate the distribution of coal in their several localities.

The appointment of these committees will be made within a few days, all effort being made to expedite the matter. Local committees wiil have power to call before them coal dealers for the purpose of getting information relative to the cost of coal in their several towns, including overhead charges. They will require each dealer to appear before them that they may determine the margin of profit upon which they will base the fixing of prices, -fr: so doing the committees will take into consideration existing conditions in the various communities. The prices will become effective as soon as the state fuel administration has the data upon which to fii the prices in the different communities and approved by Mr. Garfield, the national administrator.

FOOD PLEDGE CARD DRIVE POSTPONED On Recommendation Pres. Wilson, So That It Will Not Conflict with Close of Liberty Loan Campaign. Springfield, Oct 13. Because of the desire of President Wilson that the final drive in the Liberty loan campaign and the food administration's campaign to secure the signature of every Amenean housewife to a card pledging conserva tion and avoidance of waste shall not come at the same time and consulting the "exigencies of the treasury," Federal Food Administrator James Hartness, in common with th administrators in all of the states, announced last evening the postponement of the pkdpje card drive from the week beginning October 21 to the following week, beginning Oct. 28.

If a leeter addressed to Herbert Hoov er the president held that it would be "undesirable in the interest of both these captal matters" that the wind up of the two campaigns should fall within the same week, Mr. Wilson making it plain that the full success of each movement is essential to an efficient carrying on of the war, the president desiring most earnestly to avoid any circumstances which might militate against the suc cess of either. Because of the "exigencies of the treasury" it was decided that the pledge card drive could be the better postponed and Food Administrator Hoover has taken the necessary step to comply with the president request, de laying the pledge card campaign just one week.

Stands Sixth in Proportional Enlistments for Federal Service. The Vermont committee of public safe ty to-day issued a statement showing "irrefutable evidence that Vermont is no slacker in the matter of enlistments al though some of the metropolitan papers have through insufficient data so stig matized the slate." The statement goes on to show that ermont was urpaed by only five states, excluding the Dis 1rict of Columbia and the territory of Hawaii, up to July 1, 1017, in its proportional number of enlistments in the reg ular army and the National Guard, the latter being now a part of the former. The five states which surpassed Ver mont were New Iiamp shire, Rhode Island and Wyoming. Miss Eda Buzzi, who is engaged as a teacher in the schools at Corinth, is spending a few days at her borne on Blackwcll street. TO GERMAN DRIVE For the first time sLce he started his series of attacks against the German positions in Flanders Field Marshal Haig has had to cease an operation before all the objectives were attained.

It was not the German guns, however, that stopped the British. It was a more than usually heavy rainfall which started during the battle and turned the already swampy region over which the men were supposed to pass into a veritable quagmire from which they could not untrack themselves for a forward move. The drive, as has been customary in Haig's strategy, was started in the early hours of Friday morning and extended from near the Houtholst wood to below the Ypres-Menin road. At several points the British troops succeed- ed in gaining ground over fronts ranging up to 1,000 yards, but here the rain intervened and the fighting ceased for the During the forward movement over the six-mile front the British captured in the aggregate about 600' prisoners. The struggle was particularly bitter to the north of Poelcappclle and around Fasschendaele.

In the latter region the Germans apparently have, massed their strongest array of troops, hopeful of being able to stay further press forward by the British toward the Ostend-Lille railroad. GERMAN MARINE MINISTER IS OUT Vice-Admiral Von Cappelle Was Recently Storm Center in the Reichstag. Amsterdam, Oct. 13. Vice-Admiral Von Capelle, the German minister of marine has resigned, according to the Frankfurter Zeitung.

Vice-Admiral Eduard Von Cappell was one of the administrative directors in the ministry of marine before the war and had served as a captain at sea. In March, 1916, he succeeded Admiral Von Tripitz as imperial minister of the navy. Several times since 'then Von Cappelle has appeared before the Reichstag with optimistic statements regarding the progress of the unrestricted submarine campaign as late as August 26, 1917, defending the U-boat policy of his pre decessor and himself at a meeting of the Reichstag main committee. Vice-Admiral Von Capelle announced the Reichstag last Wednesday that a plot had been discovered in the navy to paralyze the efficiency of the fleet and force the government to make peace. He said that the guilty parties had received their just deserts, and attempted to link Socialists with the plot.

The imperial Germsrn chancellor, Dr. Michaelis, also spoke of the existence of a conspiracy in the navy and asserted that certain deputies were involved in the revolt. The bocialists and then- newspapers have attacked both the chancellor and the vice-admiral for their statements.

IS CHARGED Two and a Woman Wei Arrested Late Friday GRAN 3 LARCENY C5 1i JTI0N BROUGHT William Wagner, Charles Gilchrist and Marion Phil- lips the Respondents WiUiam Wagner and Charles Gilchriso were arrested by Deputy George Grand-field of Fayston Friday afternoon, the former having been found in the road while on his way to his home, while the latter was found at the camp of Robert Gordon, in company with a woman named Marion Phillips.

They were charged with grand larceny and were brought into Montpelier city court in the earlv evenine. nleadin? not euiltv: and a hearing will take place as soon as State's Attorney E. R. Davis can look after the matter, having several other affairs of more importance ahead of him now. It is alleged that Wagner and Gilchrist took from the camp of Henry Emmons, near the'Three-Miie bridge, two phonographs, 30 records, a rifle, pair of boots and a blanket.

Gilchrist had on a pair of boots when he came into court. He also wore a soldier's uniform which he claimd he bought in Rutland. He also told the story that he had been soldiering for four months and that he happened np this way on a furlough. Wagner had been to Montpelier and with his wife was on his way home whn they were met by officers. The officers had been to the Gordon camp which is near what is known as Camp's mills, and about 3 o'clock Friday after- noon telephoned that they had found, the goods and had a man, but for the officrs at Montpelier to watch for Wagner, which was done.

However, he had kft for home before the word reached the officers Jn Montpelier. The officers went back to the camp Friday evening to identify the rest of the goods, which were found there, taking with them Henry Emmons, the owner of the camp. The result was that Marion Phillips, the woman who was left at the place, was arrested on the same charge as the men. She was brought into city court and bail of $500 was fixed, which she has not furnished. Probably the cases' will not come to trial in city court, because they are grand larceny charges and information can be as easily tied in county court Afnnrfav.

Physicians from all parts of Vermont who were in Barre for the 104th annual meeting of the Vermont State Medical society, departed for their homes late yesterday afternoon, after a successful two-days convention.

The closing session was held in the Bijou theatre and immediately thereafter adjournment was taken sine die and the visitors, many of whom came to Barre by automobile, prepared for the homeward journey, There was unanimity in the expressions of satisfaction over the 1917 meeting and many expressed a desire to return to Barre at some future date. Local phvsi ciajis worked busily to make the stay of the visiting medics and their guests agreeable and evidently their efforts were crowned with success. Burlington is to entertain the society in 1018, as the re suit of a vote taken at the business session Friday morning. The speakers at the closing session were Lieut. Col.

GRAHAM WAS GUEST OF HONOR Former Told of Work Ac complished in Russia by American Commission From the far reaches of the new Rus sian democracy, James Duncan of Quincy, president of the Granite Cutters' International association, -vice-president of the American Federation of La bor, and lately labor's honored member of the Root commission, brought a mes sage of hope to a large audience in the Barre opera house last evening.

"The Soul of Russia" was the subject of Mr. Duncan's address and from first to last he gave his hearers the full benefit of his observations and experiences as a member of the commission. For two hours the audience listened carefully to his terse account of developments that transformed Russia from an absolute monarchy to a democratic republic. The address was given under the aus pices of the Central Labor union of Barre and vicinity and in addition to Mr. Duncan, the labjr men had as their guests Governor Graham and Commissioner Robert W.

Simonds of the department of industries, Mayor Glysson, City Clerk Mackay and members oi the city council. It was a rousing patriotic gathering, the only un-American feature of which was the weather. A Hun weather clerk elect ed rair, but a steady downpour, which was accompanied at times by a lashing gale, did not by any 'means wreck the plans of the local committee. Undoubt edly the rough weather kept the attendance down, but the auditorium was filled and an overflow found seats in the eal- pry. Probably 700 people were present to hear the speaking and to applaud in the most convincing fashion the remarks of Governor Graham, Mr.

Duncan and Commissioner Simonds. The latter acted as chairman of the evening and excellent music was furnished by the Montpelier Military band under the leadership of T. R. Merrill. A small admission fee was charged and the proceeds the labor men will patriot ically devote to the work of the Barre Red Cross branch.

Members of the local branch assisted in taking tickets at the door and some of their number were active in the advance sale of tickets, "as were the members of the labor commit tee, consisting of Fred W. Suitor, James Cruickshank, Andrew J. Young, Angus McDonald, Alex ironside. Seated on the stage with Mr. Duncan, Governor" Graham and Commissioner Si monds were Mayor Glysson, City Clerk Mackay, Aldermen Ueiiry Alexander, A.

J. Loranger, Antonio M. Rossi and C. H. Reynolds, and Messrs.

Suitor, Cruick shank, Young and McDonald, members of the committee. The guests of the C. L. were tendered a big ovation as they took their seats. Commissioner Simonds opened the meeting by saying that he felt like a stranger introducing friends when he introduced Governor Graham and Mr.

Duncan. The governor grace-j fully acknowledged: an especially loud salvo of applause as he arose to speak. He paid a neat tribute to Mr. Duncan's work with the Root mission and promised not to take up too much of the lat-ter's time. Gov.

Graham for Liberty Loan. Governor Graham's brief remarks were in the interests of the Liherty loan. He stated that the money thus "invested is to be expended in buying cquipmont and clothes and in providing shelter for the men whom Vermont and the other states have given to the service of the nation. More than that, he went on, it is to pro tect our homes. The speaker urged his ncarcrs to practice self-denial in subscribing to the loan and said that even the man who was accustomed to taking an occasional drink could make it two instead of three and contribute the price of the extra drink to a Liberty bond.

He argued for the little economies. He mentioned liberal subscriptions here in Vermont to the first Liberty loan, to the Red Cross, to the Knights of Columbus fund and to the Y. M. C. and in closing he said, lien tne fund is made up, it will be found that Vermont has done as she always does, that Bhe has.

done more than she was asked to do. How is the time to fight this war and not, perhaps, after we are beaten!" Mr. Duncan Well Received, At this juncture the band played another selection and then Mr. Simonds introduced the speaker of the evening. Prolonged liandclupping postponed the moment when Mr.

Duncan launched into his address. Referring at the outset to his selection by President Wilson as a member of the commission to go to Iiuwia, 3h. Duncan said it was good to know that the granite cutters' association generally looked upon it as a great honor to the trade union and to the labor movement in America. The idea, he said, was to select a few representative nipn to carry a message of good will to the people and to the provisional government of the new Russia, to indicate to them the appreciation of the people of the United States over the great revolution in that country the greatest known to history and in friendly manner to inform them that the people of the United States were ready and willing to be helpful to them in the initiation and perpetuity of their young democracy, nny capacity tne Hussians might designate. Mr, Duncan's part, it developed in the course ot Jus address, as to deal with the groups of workingmpn in their sem blance of organization or ot herwise; to convey to them the great interest the workfng people of the United States took in them, to offer them all possible assist ance, and to ascertain how the people of this country, especially the organized workers, could aid tho Working people, (Continued on fourth rg').

The first man to appear arrived at about 4 this morning, whoreas for the first two game scores spent the night waiting admission.

It was uncertain to-day who would be on the firing line for the opposing teams. Experts figured on Sallee or Perritt for the visitors and Cicotte or Russell for the locals.
