Anthracite Allotment
Among Atlantic States
Comparison of the actual distri
bution of anthracite to Pennsjlva
nla and nearby States. In the coal
year of 1916.17, and the Goernment
allotment for the curient coal year,
announced today, is shown below:
1916-17 'Allotment

New Jersey .. 1.961,622 5,460,784

Maryland 933,889 1,027,317
Dlst. of Colum 517.760 665,800
Virginia 256,000 102,400
Pennsylvania is the only State to
which the Government has officially
allotted more anthracite for consump
tion this year than was asked by its
fuel administrator,
Twenty-foui States hive had their
supplies of hard coal shut off entirely,
while Pennsylvania will get between
now and April 1, 1919, 232.970 tons
more than requested by William Pot
ter, State administrator.
Mr. Potter asked 7.828,730 tons as
Pennsylvania's allotment for this year.
He was ei anted 8,039,700 tons. The
Increased allotment was glv'en this
State because of its importance as a
war-work center, with a network of
war-industry plants stretching from
one end of the State to the other.
Announcement of the- allotment was
made by the anthracite committee of
the Federal fuel administration, made
up of Joseph B. Dickson, S. D. War
riner and William .1. Richards. Chair
man Dickson made the announcement
at this afternoon's bession of the Na
tional Coal Association, now meeting
ct the Bellevue-Stiatford. At the same
time he told of allotments for other
sections of the country.
Hint of Commandeering
Another feature of this afternoon's
cession was a warning that unless the
operators produce sufficient coal the
Government will commandeer the
mines for the duration of the war.
This prediction was uttered by J. H.
Wheelwright, Baltimore, who was to
day elected president of the associa
tion. Anthracite miners of Pennsylvania
and other States will waive their holi
day tomorrow and mine cdal to help
ward off a shortage next winter. The
national association was so advised
today by William Potter, whose pro
posal of Memorial Day mining had
been approved by Frank J. Hayes,
president of the United Mine Workers
of America.
If the American people are to have
an adequate supply of anthracite next
winter. It is "highly important and
very necessary," In the belief of the
Federal fuel- administration, that the
available labor supply for the mines
hall be increased both in volume and
effectiveness.
This statement was made by Chair
man Dickson during his address at the
convention.
"There are new demands of an Im
perative kind for anthracite," said Mr.
Dickson. "At the same time the war,
through the draft and even In larger
ways, has drawn down the anthracite
mine workers from 175,000 to about
145,000. A further reduction In the
force, which Is' already down to a point
where It restricts the production of
coal, Is going on and is most threaten
ing." New Allotment Plan
Mr. Dickson outlined to the coal
operators a new plan of allotment and
distribution of anthracite coal for the
present year, under which Pennsyl
vania's supply will be Increased 18.25
per cent, making, jthe State's total
supply for the next twelve months
1,069,700 tons.
'The allotment, he said, had become
n imperative need. States with an
available supply of bituminous coal
will suffer the biggest reductions In
their supply of anthracite-. Needs of
the war industries have been given
first consideration In the plan of dls
trlbutlon. In the New England. States
the anthracite supply will be Increased
from 8.83J.J79 tons 10 9,833,879 tons.
The AtlantlcStates also will have a
greater supply-31,417,154 tons this
year as against 27,8,18,238 tons' last
year. Army and( navy camps and
v cantonments will be restricted to 600,.

With the French Armies In Cham
pagne, May 29.
FRENCH reserves have arrived at
the front and It Is believed the
worst is over.
It is now clear that the German
plans were for a big offensive and
not for a mere diversion.
With the French Armies. May 2D.
Hindenbure has scored -mother spec
tacular success. At dawn Monday,
after three hours' bombardment, com
posed largely of gas shells, a new
German mass attack was thrown upon
a twenty-five mile front, extending
from the Ailette near Vauxalllon to
the Alsne-Marne Canal near Brimont.
It was four or Ave times as nu
merous as the defenders, and in other
regards correspondingly stronger. In
these clcumstances, an attempt to re
tain the line,. of the Chemln des
Dames would have meant that the
French troops would have been mas
sacred before reserves could reach
them, and there' was nothing for It to
do but to fall back steadily and In
good order, using- successive lines ot
trenches and deep folds of! ground to
punish the enemy for every forward
step he made.
As I anticipated In my -last mes
sage, the method of the first phase
of the German' offensive was again
emptoyed with some Improvements.
This method rests, as I have shown,
upon two main elements the prodi
gal expenditure of the large reserves
obtained by- the collapse of Russia
and. Rumania and the skillful use of
the great advantage of what are called
interior lines of communication to
throw a 'mass 'attack suddenly upon
the chosen sector, and so to gain the
further advantage of surprise.

PERSHING KEEPS
WOOD FROM WAR
Omitted His Name From
List of Division Com
manders He Desired
NO EXPLANATION GIVEN
By CLINTON W. GILBERT
Staff Corrc)orfrMf Excnino Public Ledger
Vt'aKlilnstnn, n, C May 29.
It was Oeneral Pershing who pre
vented General Wood from going to the
front in Frsnce.
The American commander abroad
sent some time ago to the War Depart
ment a list of generals who were ac
ceptable to him as commanders of
divisions. Wood's name was not on
this list Other names emitted were
those of Major Generals Scott, Franklin.
Bell and Morrison. So much is clear.
There Is some doubt why the Adminis
tration, In the face of this, allowed the
situation to drift until, In a most
dramatic way. Wood was relieved of his
1 command Just as he was about to em-
bark,
One report Is that the Administration
did not take the mere omission of
Wood's name by Pershing as final, but
was proceeding to send him anyway,
when a positive veto came in the shape
of a dispatch from General Pershing- re
questing that Wood should not be sent.
A better view is that the "War Depart
ment merely met the situation created
by Pershing's attitude timidly, allow,
ing 'the matter to drift until the last
moment, when the unexpectedly swift
and vigorous movements of Wood got
him away from Camp Funston before
orders relieving him could be sent. At
any rate, General Pershing prevented
Wood's going to France. It is evident
that the War Department wishes the
country to know that It was Pershing
who did It. though officially It is making
no explanation ot what happened.
Wood saw the President yesterday and
he Is likely' to 'continue the training of
American troops. Instead of being sent
to San Francisco, which is a very
Inactive and unimportant post As to
the Italian front, there Is not the slight
est 'reason for believing that the Ad
ministration has, any idea ot sending
Wood to command Americans there.
The Administration does not tike the
Wood issue'' and it has done Just the
very things that will raise it In Its
