NO TIME FOR HIGH PRICES
WASHINGTON. June 28.

F. S. Peabody, chairman of the coal pro

coal industry, Secretary Lane told the
operators they were not living for today,
but that they were living for. the people
of the United States and that they had a
duty to perform w mem.
"These aredays of big things, which must
be done by big men." said the Secretary.
"You have been called into this war game
just as definitely as the soldiers In the
trenches, "the Red Cross or the President
in. the White House. I put It up to you as
a Challenge because you control the funda
mental In industry. How much vision have
youT Are you' big or are you Small? Let
me tell you frankly that the country will
not stand any policy but a big one by big
men. When the very life of the nation Is
at stake this Is no time to reap an ad

burden Is on you as well as upon the rail

AMSTERDAM. June 20.
There is marked nervousness amoiiR
the German troops in Belgium as the
rstilt of the attitude of their officers,
ho plainly fear that important British
movements arc imminent, according to
the frontier correspondent of the Tele
Ktaaf. German troops are being hur

sectors, the correspondent adds.
A sudden attack by the Wench on a
wide fiont northeast of Hurtebise, an
nounced from Paris today, may liavo far.
reaching consequences. Tho fnct that tho
attack, launched ln the very region whoro
Hindenburg had massed heavy reserves
for last week's counter-offensive, gained
all flrst-llno trenches, indicates that tho
German grip on Laon is weakening. If
tho French succeed ln capturing this Im
poitant point, another "strategic retreat"
by tho enemy Is Inevitable.
On tho British front tjrfo poundlnfr of
tho German lines continues Incessantly.
Following tho success of the Canadian
troops In winning a mllo and a half of
trenches on the outskirts of Lens, further
progress has been made ln the Fontalno
legion, between Cherlsy and Bullecourt,
about ten mlle3 southeast of Arras. Vio
lent cannonades in Flanders are believed
to herald the resumption of Infantry fight
ing ona larger scale at that part -of thff
line.
PARIS. June 26.
Suddenly assuming the offensive over a
wide front northwest of Hurtebise. French
forces last night attacked and completely
obtained objectives, the War Offico an
nounced totfay.
"On Monday evening, following a short
period of artillery preparation northwest
of Hurtebltc, the French brilliantly at
tacked on a strongly organized front and
took all objectives almost instantly." the
official statement asserted. "Tho first lino
of tho enemy was completely captuied.
"The enemy, surprised at the rapidity
of our attack, lost heavily. Threo hundred
prisoners, Including ten olllcera, were cap
tured. "Counter-attacks following in Intense
bombardment of the two llnnks on this
front were stopped by our fire."
The French coup was executed at one
extremity of a front on which the Ger
mans, until Sunday, had for five days been
waging a tremendous counter-offensive
movement. Hurtebise lies on tho Chcmln-des-Dames,
southeast of Laon, and very
close to Craonne. The dominating positions
along this highway were taken by the
French In their great offensive drive of
April, and because of the constant tnenaco
of further French progress which would
soon close around Laon, the Germans have
striven desperately to recapture them. Laon

A. Merritt Taylor Leads At

Legislation Essential to Starting
Work Gets by Second Read
ing in House
Bu n Staff Correspondent
HAWUSBURa, June !.
The proposed constitutional amendment
throwing open to general appropriation
purposes the special 3 per cent borrowinr
capacity of Philadelphia, which was orlgl
nally intended exclusively for transit and
port development, passed the Senate on
third reading this afternoon without a dis
senting vote.
This and the, passage of the Salus bill
on second reading In the House were two
of tho big developments In tho Legislature
today. The Salus bill also passed without
a dissenting vote. ;
The amendment now will be submitted
to the voters of tho State at the general
election In November. This amendment Is
the legislation which former Transit Di
rector A. Merritt Taylor, of Philadelphia,
yesterday called upon the members of tha
Legislature to defeat.
The ex-Director declared that If the
amendment was passed the people of the
city would be cheated of at least a part.
If not all of their high-speed system. The
amendment, he asserted, was designed to
enable transit obstructionists to divert the
already inadequate borrowing capacity tho
city has gained for transit development for
other Improvements.
The amendment .was Introduced in the
1915 Legislature by Representative James
J Heffernan. of Philadelphia, a McNIchol
follower, and was passed at that tlnje.
Although Introduced by a McNIchol man.
It was originally planned and sponsored by
Senator Vare.
Lasfweek, Mayor Smith' wlre'd both Var
and McNIchol demanding that tho measure
pass, and asserting that should It fall "wa
will have no borrowing capacity for at
least four years."
TAYLOR LEADS ATTACK
Former Director Taylor Immediately led
the attack against it and In spite of its
passage through the Legislature it is be
lieved that he will continue his opposition
In order to defeat It at the polls In Novem
ber. Today's program was mapped out as care
fully by tho Slayor and his administration
aids as was the strategic move last night
when the passage of the hill on first reading
was forced over the heads of opponents.-
Under tho regular order of procedure only
bills on third reading would have been called
up this morning. Representative Herman
L. Hecht. of Philadelphia, the sponsor for
the two Hecht transit measures, made, a
motion when tho House convened making
the consideration of bills on second reading
in order.
The motion passed without opposition and
the Salus and a number of other bills were
called up and passed in rapid-fire order.
MAYOR SATISFIED
Mayor Smith, who with Finance Com
mittee Chairman Gaffney and Transit Di
rector Twining, was on the floor of tha
House at the time, smiled ln a satisfied way
and declared he was confident that the bill
would 'be put through finally tomorrow on
third reading.
