With the American Army in France, March 1.—(By the Associa-ted Preas.)—American troops re-pulsed a strong German attack this morning ia tne salient north of Toul. I There ware many Ame.-ican casual*! ties, one of the killed being a cap-tain who was gradvated from West Point in 19J7. The raid was a complete failure, three German -prisoners remaining in American hands. The gnund In front at the.Amerlcan trenches was strewn with German dead. A driving vet snow was falling this morning when th-> Germans opened fire on the American salient |0f with every weapon at their com-jtbAt maud. Seventy-sevens, heavy shells and gas shells fell in a perfect whirl-wind on the American trenches for half an hour. At the same time oth-er enemy shells in groat numbers were dropping on the American bat-tery positions. The Germans, evidently thinking that the Atmircans in this section; having had one taste of gas * few daye ago. would fear It now. let looae great quantities of poisonous ga3, but the men put on their masks and only a few were affected by It. So intense was the fire that the woods back of the salient were shot to pieces. Hand to Hand Fighting. At 6 o'clock the barrage fire lifted on the trenches to the right of the salient and Germans numbering 240 came sweeping forward under the protection of their fire. They came forward apparently intending to make a big haul and jumped into what was left of the trenches, but ihere. instead o: the easy time an-ticipated, found the Americans all raady fcr battle. Fierce har.d to hand nghJtlng began ttimsttrm has been handed to Bolaheviki government Serman commander on the ^Iront who ha» given the i three days in which to sign ce treaty demanded by the NO HOARDING OF COAL BY CON8UMER8 ALLOWED WILL U.S. JOIN THE MIKADO? iidant with this demand, the advance Into Russia has ;trmed. There are apparently ilnmns of Germans advancing da. One Is near Luga, mid-twsen Pskov and Petrograd, ■aid to be at Polotsk, midway in Pinsk and Vleansk, and the at Sebesh, eighty mile3 east ln»k. An official report says e German troops had reached ;ht bank of the Dneiper river, nftrt ;of Kiev. Tl it the situation In Petrograd baa ftcome critical is reflected in the repo i that the American and Japa-nese imbasaadors have reached Vol-ogda^ the capital of the Russian gov-erni ent of the same name, lying far to th* east of Petrograd. The British and-Trench embassies also have left the. Ruastan capital, but nothing is knojtin as to their destination. Washington, March 1.—Consum-ers of coal in providing this spring and summer for their next winter's fuel requirements will be limited by the fuel administration in their .pur-chases strictly to their needs. In making this announcement tonight. Fuel Administrator Garfleld said ail local fuel committees would be In-structed to see that there Is no hoarding. The fuel administration has adr vised all consumers to bagin as early as April 1 to lay in their ne<t win-ter's supplies. If the advice is fol-lowed officials believe there will be no marked coal car congestion on the railroads next winter and that no coal shortage will occur. The fuel and railroad administra-tions have about completed their plan for distribution of coal by zones and when finally approved as it prob-ably will be next week, by Fuel Ad-ministrator Ganfield and Director General McAdoo, It will be put into operation. Under the plan the coun-try is divided Into producing dis-tricts, each of which will supply a particular consuming zone. TO COUNTERACT GERMAN AC-TIVITIES IN" EASTERN SIBERIA TO BE SETTLED EARLY.

The con-tinued mild weather and improved transportation conditions, unlooked for by dealers. Is the cause. Whole-sale egg'prices have dropped from 63 to 95 and 36 cents a dozen. Small fortunes have been lost by individual speculators who bought eggs two or three weeks ago for delivery here. Great quantities of eggs shipped from Chicago are In the bands of the express companies. Speculators re- 1 fused to accept them on arrival be- 1 cause of the slump. They will be sold by the carriers and the liss borne by the shippers. In the last week 26,- 534,160 eggs arrived here.

One American captain rallijd^pei with* rOSSt" ana ""macnTno guns ant went through the American wire en-tanglements into No Man's Land and there waited for the ener.y, whom he expected to be driven out by his com-rades in the trenches. He was right, for soon groups of the enemy started back through the wire entanglements. Tin Americans poured in a deadly fire, tut unfortu-nately the captain was killed during the fight. He is the first member of the 1917 class at West Point to be killed. While the Americans were in front of the wire entanglements and in shell holes, still fighting desperately, the American barrage fire began sweeping No Man's Land, catching many running Prussians who had enough of American methods. The barrage swept back and forth, mak- •ng sure of doing all possible damage to the foe. Germans Left Ten Dead. When the enemy had been driven back out of the positions, the bodies of ten German soldiers were found in the American trenches. Two Ger-man officers were entangled in the Wire and many bodies were in sight. Eight were visible through the snow-storm at one point. Tho ground was littered with enemy hand grenades, boxes' of explosives for destroying dugouts and incendiary bombs which trey.had no opportunity to use. They managed, however, to drop incendiary bombs in two dugouts which were destroyed by fire, but no Americans were in them. If the Germans captured any prisoners, which is doubtful, there were not more than two or three possibly from a listening post. Of the missing many probably were buried. Digging for them now is proceding and oth-ers may be accounted for Two German (prisoners were wounded and the other taken was unh.rt except for a welt on enj of his hands where he was struck by a young American soldier when he showed fight after capture. From the prisoners the American .officers have secured much valuable '- formation. One said: "I did not havo a chance to do anything bs:ore an American jumped on to me and grabbed me by the throat." The Germans had been preparing for the raid for three weeks and be-longed to the IMh reserve division of Hanover. The prisoners had ■orts forwarded by the way of Loniion say that the Russian troops are destroying railroad property and burning stores as they retire before the fcermaus. At no point is there serlpp.s fighting reported, but the ad-vance of the Teutons is said to be cautious. It 5 was announced in a dispatch that {Austrian troops have begun to advance into the Ukraine This move-ment, It is stated, is in response to an appeal from Ckranie. probably due to the operations of the Bolshe-viki- there. Dr. Von Seydler. the Austrian premier, said last week that Austria was not participating in the <tft**^ qf-Rusgla, adding that Aus-tria is at peace withljkrania? THE JAPANESE ARMY IS SENT TO SIBERIA. London, March 2.—Japan and China are dispatching troops into Asiatic Russia, the former into Si-beria, and the latter into Manchuria, Tien Tsin newspapers announced Wednesday, according to a dispatch to the Evening News received today. The dispatch added that General Tuan Chi Jui probably would be Chinese supreme commander. Embassies Are Silent. Washington, March 2.—'Both the Japanese and Chinese einbasslei here continued silent today on the ques-tion of throwing troops into Siberia to defend aHtied Interests. Neither embassy has received any word what-ever that troops already are on the Germans Repulsed. German trench raiding operations have been repulsed by the French in several sections of the line. At Cha-vignon. where the American troops were taken prisoner, the fighting was very severe. An attaek by the Teu-tons near Butte de Mesnil resulted in the capture of a section of a French position, but an immediate counter attack evicted the Germans. The British troops carried out suc-cessful raids north of the Ypres-Sta-den railroad and captured a few-prisoners. On the other sectors of the front nothing of interest -'s re-ported. ■ly, esBeeted for jwaveral days tffat the Japanese would soon ei.nounce a troop movement. waj diHhasbean confident-. ABDICATION OF KING FERDINAND IS DEMANDED. Suffragists Fail to Win Mrs. Overman Washington,' March 1.—The great question here now is: "Will Mrs. Lee Slater Overman, the popular wife of Senator Overman, become a suffra* gist?" Mrs. Overman has pronounc-ed views on woman suffrage; she is opposed to the ballot for women. But. the suffrage leaders are making a hard and determined fight to win her. If Mrs. Overman is not converted .* will not be the fault of the suffra- -iE'ts. who greatly desire Senator Overman's vote, but Mrs. Overman Is a clever politician, and the suffra-gists will have to get up early In the morning to win her to their cause. Washington, Feb. 28.—An early solution probably will be reached on the momentous question as to. whether America and the entente allies shall Join Japan in a* campaign in Eastern Siberia to counteract pos-sible German activities in that quar-ter and save the great supply of mil-itary stores accumulated at Vladl-vostock and interior points on the Si-berian .railway. It had been under-stood that this decision might await the arrival In Washington of Vis-count Ishii, the newly appointed Japanese ambassador to the United States, but it was said tonight re-cent developments, including In-creasing pressure from entente jources very likely will cause a more speedy determination of the ques-tion.. It is learned that this is not re-garded as a problem for the consid-eration, at the present stage at leart, of the supreme war council In France which If It treats the subject at all, will deal with it only as a military matter. It's a Great Question. It is freely admitted in official cir-cles that this is a very great question Indeed. A radical departure from established rules of international law would be involved, and consider-ation must be given to the possible effect upon the Russian people of such a course in their relations to the present war. Already there has been some apprehension that great numbers of Russian soldiers, rather than to return to their farms and shops would voluntarily join the cen-tral armies, and some evidences of foundation for this fear is found in Berlin dispatches announcing the en-try into the German army of several regiments of Eethonians. Japs Are Restless. OB the other hand, growing indi-cations that Japan cannot much longer be restrained from taking... seme action in Siberia are causing serious consideration of the Japa-nese invitation to the entente allies and America to participate. The alternative would be to withhold from Japan the co-operation she holds she has the right to expect and let her undertake single-hand-ed the weight of the campaign in Siberia, and deal without counsel from the allies with the large ques-tions involved in the future dis-position of any territory on the Asiatic mainland which she might occupy. Critical Point. London. March 1.—The peace terms submitted to King Ferdinand, of Rumania, by Count Czernln. the Austro-Mungarlan foreign minister, Included the king's abdication in fav-or of his brother. Prince William, or the taking of a referendum in Ru-mania regarding his successor, ac-cording to a Berlin dispatch trans-mitted by the Exchange Telegraph correspondent at Amsterdam today. King Ferdinand, of Rumania, a prince of the house of Hohenzollern, was denounced as a renegrade by his brother, Prince William, of Hohen-zollern. In December, 1916, when the invasion of Rumania by the cen-tral powers was under way and Prince William, who is a general of Prussian infantry, was In command of a part of the Invading force. Prince William became a pretender to the 4hrone of Rumania at that time, issuing a proclamation at Cra-iova declaring himself to be the rightful heir to the Rumanian throne. Aii plane Mall Service New York to Washington. Washington, March 1.—Airplane mall service between New York and Washington will be In dally opera-tion beginning April 1'5, the postof-flce department announced today. Eight machines will be furnished by the war department. By arrangement between Postmas-ter General Burleson and Secretary Baker the aerial postal service will be conducted for one year as part of the aviation training system of the army. The machine will be piloted by army flyers. Russian coins in their possession and came Into the trenches opposite just before the Americans took over this sector. The Americans lost many killed and wounded, including officers The Americans displayed the greatest personal courage bravery and ener-gy throughout the engagement and outfought the surprised enemy from the instant contact was established. During the bombardment, a town behind the American line was heav-ily shelled- and there were some cas-ualties. Need Men "Over There." Camp Lee, Petersburg, Va., March 2.—"They not only need food, cloth-ing and ammunition in France and Belgium, but they need men." This was the statement today of Major General Cronkhite, commander here, who returned a few days ago from a trip of observation over the allied west front. "They need men over there just as badly as you'd need shoes if you were barefooted," is the way General Cronkhite put-it. It is learned that issue Is now ap-proaching the critical point in tho opinion of the Japanese government which has concluded that some such action as it proposes to take In Si-beria Is imperative as a defensive measure against Germanic aggres-sion and control of the wreck of the late governmental machinery in Si-beria. Mostly Bolshevik! Troops There. Such Information as the officials have been able to gather regarding the conditions In Siberia indicate that most of the larger cities and towns in the interior and along the line of the Siberian railroad are now under the control of the Bol-shevikl. In that country this element are descendants of exiles from Eu-ropean Russia who are filled with hatred or monorchical institutions and Imbued with anarchistic doc-trine and so may be counted as radical supporters of tho Bolshe-vlki government. Their numbers are not known, but they are the dominating force In a considerable portion of Siberia. LUTHERANS OF COUNTRY HAVE GONE OVER THE TOP. Aviator Hunts Eagles. London, Feb. 28.—Eagle hunting is a casual pastime for at least one allied aviator. Flight-Captain Mor-tureaux, of the French Salonikl army, shot two while flying near Mount Olympus. He landed, secured the game, and returned to his han-gar Kith them. Salisbury, March 3.—The Luther-ans of the country went over the top In their efforts to raise a fund of $750,000 for war work. State Chair-man A. H. Snider, of this city, was informed by . wire from national headquarters that up to Saturday night reports tabulated showed that $1,008,000 had been subscribed. It is expected that final reports will show a million and a half raised. Mr. Snider spent Sunday visiting several country churches In the interest of the fund. The campaign closed with today's work. •
