Coal Prices
Will Advance
On September Ist the regular winter rates
for coal will be put in effect.
Better have your bins filled at once. In a
few more weeks you will be burning coal
and will need it.
And this fact is important—you are enabled to get
much better quality of coal now than later when the
mine operators are rushed with orders.
This Fall and Winter rush means coal of poorer
preparation because of the necessary haste in min
ing, the hiring of inexperienced help, etc., etc.
For high grade quality, coal low in impurities and
ash, clean, etc., etc., we advise you to purchase now.

GERMANS ATTEMPT
TO DISRUPT NATION
Evidence Shows Kaiser's Repre
sentatives Have Promoted Strikes
in Munitions' Plants
Washington, D. C.. Aug. 16. —The
Department of Justice, it was learned
to-day from an authoritative source,
is ir. possession of evidence regarding
the- activities of agents of the German
government within the United States
in the direction of promoting strikes
to disrupt the munition traffic, con
trolling press comment and influencing
American opinion regarding the do
mestic policies of the Wilson adminis
tration, fomenting revolutionary dis
turbances in Mexico and in otherwise
seeking improperly to shape develop
ments in the history of the United
States to the advantage of Germany
and to the disadvantage of Germany's
enemies in the present war.
For the past four months, or since I
the discovery of the passport forgery [
in New York, the Departments of Jus- |
tice and Secret Service been at
work on the trail of the German '
agents, but the bulk of the evidence |
has really been obtained through five .
sources, and this evidence has been,
placed in the hands of the United |
States government officials.
Obviously, for reasons of policy, the
administration has thus far declined
to press action in this matter. There
is not a shadow of a doubt, it Is said
here by persons familiar with the
facts, but that the government has
i ample information to warrant the re
i call of certain attaches of the German
, embassy.
However, such action would un
doubtedly cause additional friction in
the already critical relationship be- i
tween the United States and Germany, |
and President Wilson has desired to ■
place the burden for any break or the |
rupture of relations so clearly upon,
Germany that he has chosen even to i
suffer wrongs against which he might I
, have taken action. j
