IED IN BIG OFFENSIVES Man \Who Ban Against McCall , for GoTernor \Won Great Honors in France. To hve entered the army as a private after serving as AdJutunt-Ofne- of Massachusetts and resigned that offica to run for Go.vernor of the State, to haT won th command of an Infantry brigada and lead' Uiat brigade, through the threa great American offensives In Prance tha second Morns, St Mllilet nnd tha Meuie-Argon- and finally to have returned home as the head of the advance party of what he nays Is the greatest division In tho whole A. B. F. and to be met at the pier by the wife ha married a few days before ho went overseas those are Just a few of the things that made Brlg.-Ge- n Charles II. Cole of Boston, beam on the throng of newspapermen, friends and Itoeton political leaders who surr-unde- him Chreo deep at the Hotel Knickerbocker all yesterday afternoon. After serving as Fire Commissioner and Police Commissioner of Boston he was appointed Adjutant-Gener- of Mas- sachusetts by Gov. McCall In spile of his different political faith, and after serv- ing one term he resigned and made an unsuccessful race against McCall for thq Governorship. In April, 1317, he as a private In the Ninth Massa- chusetts Infantry, and when tho Na- tional Guard was federalized he was appointed Adjutant of the 101st Infan- try with the rank of Captain. A few months later the Twenty-sixt- h Division was organized from the National Guard of tha New England States, and Capt Cola wan appointed a Brigadier-Gener- and placed In command of the Fifty-seco- Infantry Brigade. Restored to Command by Pershing. Hs held this ipost until within a few days of the signing of tho armistice, when he was relieved of his command by Brig.-Ge- n. Braneford, who fiad Major-Ge- n. Edwards In command of tha division. Inquiry Into the matter at headquarters resulted In Gen. Cole being restored to his command at the order of Gen.\ Pershing. He arrived In New York yesterday on tho Aqultanla and will go to Boston this .morning to begin the arrangements for the recep- tion of the Yankee Division at that port some time next month. Shortly before his division was overseas In the fall of 1917 Gen. Cole married Mies Grace Blaiichanl of Brookline. She was at the pier to greet hlra yesterday, as were tils brother, George A. Cole, the latter'a wife and daughter and the general's cousins, Mr. and Mrs. Ftoderlck and, Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Reddon, and a party of friends. Gen. Cole wears the Croix de Guerre with palm, but every time. any one sug- gested that he tell some particulars about the exploit which won him tho decoration he remembered anothtr bit of valor on the part of some of his men along the Marne or in the Argonne. The battU-oCh- e aflieT-t- hs .second battle of tho Marne. that Is was the greatest battlo In history. Gen. Cole said yesterday, because when It was ended the Huns were beaten. \AVe didn't know Just tow long It would take to finish the Job.\ he said, \but we knew that It was llko Gettysburg in the civil ar that the enemy had failed and that the end was only a question of time. Went Orrr the Top Laughing;. \A battalion from my brigade cap- tured the first town taken by the Ameri- cans after the Marne offensive began. Major Southerd of Bangor, Me., led his men forward, calmly smoking a cigar. At the beginning Of the action he discov- ered that the barrase was behind him, no he ordered hU men forward and In thlrty-flv- e minutes they had taken the village of Torsey, In splto of heavy rlflo and machlno gun fire. \They are the people who are entitled ' to tho credit In this wajV he went on. \tho men and tho Junior officers who were with them. At 6t. Mlhlel our men went over the top laughing and smok- ing cigarettes. Our artillery prepara- tion was so thorough that no captured ' thousands of prisoners In their dugouts before they knew our advance had com- menced.\ Gen. Colo paid enthusiastic tribute to the French, both the army and tho civil- ian population. Ho declared that the French staff work was beyond ' praise, and said that In service under four French coftps commanders ho had never found anything but enthusiastic. Intelli- gent and energetic cooperation. The French officers who served as llalwm off- icers on his staff were extraordinarily capable. Gen. Cole said, and he never Is- sued an order without consulting them. He praised the French army supply sys- tem, too, and related several Instances when he had secured supplies from them when they could not be obtained in time from the American authorities-Frenc- h Good Instructors. Much of the credit for tha success of the division, he aald, was due to the training which they had undergone at the hands of the French. \At Neuf-chateau- ,\ ho said, \when we were about to .begin our training we were addressed by Gen. Castelneau of the French army, and he told us that all their experience In four years of war was at our dis- posal. We are not such good tcachera ss the Boche.' the General told us, \but tho lessons he gives are very expensive. You wilt lose many thousands of brave men In learning from him what we can teach you here.'\ That tho men of the Twenty -- sixth Di- vision are In eplendld physical condi- tion. Gen.

The in- spection, which lasted several hours, was held ,It o pouring rain, he said, and there was no Increaso In the slclt list next day as result. Gen. Cole refused to discuss politics, national or local. For one thing, he said, he had been away too long-t- know anrtblng about tho oltuatlon. \And 'tn\ ha added with a smile. \I'm still In tho army.\ W \rst thought, he said, waa to get to Boston and give what help he could toward tho plan for wel- coming tho Yankeo Division, which Is to Boston and New England what the Twenty-aeventh.t- Seventy-sevent- h and Ilalnbow all rolled into one, nro to New 'What do tho boys want?\ lie said In reply to a question, \Well what will please them most Is Just to be allowed to get a Job and get back to their work.

TVAiiiiNaTOtf, March 30. Figures compiled by the Geological Survey show a heavy slump in coal production for the week ended Msrch 22. Since the armistice was signed the production of both bituminous and anthracite, which had been making new records for the present coal year, has steadily declined. Tills decline was accelerated by the mild winter and the shutting down to some exttnt of Industry. The slump Is beginning to reach alarm- ing proportions. In the opnlon of off- icials and men In the coal industry. The Government, through the Fuel Adminis tration, Is directing a broad public propaganda to encourage the purchase of coal for next season and Is doing everything to stimulate buying orders to save a further drop In production. There seem to be a disposition on the part of the buying public to wait and see If war prices will continue to maintain In Die faco ot this situation. Fuel Administration prlco regulations at off, but there has been no general announcement of lower prices ot either anthracite or bituminous for April. Bituminous production for tho week ended March St was but 7,477,000 net tons. Last year the output for the cor- responding week was 11,112,000 net ton. ' The los from full time production because of \no market\ during the week ended Msrch 15 waa 2.8 percent, com- pared with 41.8, 41.9 and 43 per cent respectively for the three weeks next preceding, lost from the same cause. Total losses from full tims during the week ended Msrch 15 amounted to 4S per cent. Anthracite production during the week ended March 22 Is estimated at 1.171.000 net tons, as against 1.206.000 net tons the previous week and 2,099.000 net tons for the corresponding week last year. LANE REVISES PLAN TO GIVE VETS LAND Half of 80 Acre Farms to Bo Cleared House and Barn to Be Built on Each. Special Dttpatch to Tus Sex. Washington. March 30. The plan of Franklin IC. Lane, Secretary of the for furnishing land to returned soldiers and aiding them In Its devel opment has been altered, following a preliminary survey of the sltuatlom throughout the whole nation. When Con- gress Is called together a bill ombodylng the revised plan will be drafted by ex- pert of the Department of the Interior and submitted to Congress for action. The plan has been related in detail to rtrpresentative Scott (inch.) by F. W. Hnnnas. Chief Engineer of the Uecla-matlo- n Service. The original plan called for $100,000,-00- 0 to begin work on drainage of swamp land. Irrigation of arid land and clearing forested land for the benefit of soldiers who wish to take up this form of civilian work. The new plan. It was learned to- day, will call for an appropriation of 1175,000,1)00. It has been found advisable to divide the United States Into three general divi sions In which widely differing kinds of land will be found. The Western divi- sion, will be bounded on the east by the Dakotas and Nebraska nnd will Include Tevaa on account of tho large tracts The Southern division will embrace the Southern States generally where swamp lands oocur nnd will include Virginia, the northern boundary of this division running south ot Ohio aad due west fiom there. Large Areas Are Available. The third division will be the north- ern division and technically will em- brace all of the rest of the country, al- though in only four of the Northern States will the Government seek land Maine. Michigan, Minnesota and Wis- consin. In those States cut over land occurs In large areas, and It is this sort of land which will be sought in the North. Only where the land can be purchased in tracts of thousands of acres does the Government contemplato purchasing It. Land costing from about 15 to '315 an acre Is sought, and It Is to this and the reclamation of the land that a large part of the 3375,000,000 fund asked for Is to bo devoted. The revised plan will provide also that a houso and barn be built on each prospective farm, the Government to bear the Initial cost. The soldier farms are to be each eighty acres in extent mere will be no lottery in the divi- sion of the tracts of land to the dis charged soldiers. Each man Interested Is to be made thoroughly acquainted with the whole plan, then Is to desig- nate various tracts as his first, second, third, fourth choice up to his ninth or tenth preference. If It Is possible to give a soldier the first choice of a site for his farm ho will get It. If not his next choice will then be considered, and so on down to the tenth choice If that proves necessary. ITalf of Cach Farm to Be Cleared. Each farm, according to the plan of Secretary Lane, will be taken over by the soldier with twenty of Its eighty acres cleared. Irrigated or drained as the case may be and fit for pasturo land, but not for seeding. An additional twenty acres will b prepared by the Government before the land is turned over to the soldier so that it Is ready for planting. The balance of the farm must be put Into proper shape by the soldier himself. The requirement tho Government will Insist upon that soldiers may gain full title to the land Is that they shall spend at least five months 'of each year on their farms for five years and at the end of that time must have repaid to the Government the cost of the house and the barn put up by the Govern- ment. The land Itself the Government will pay for In buying from Ita present own- ers and will assume this expense and the expense of partly preparing It for farming operations tas its own obliga- tion, requiring only payment of the money spent In building houses and bams on the farms. No official estimate of the number of acres ot land which will be reclaimed from present uselessness and made prof- itable has yet been made, but It la ex- pected to prove to.be a great many mill- ions of acres.

ATTACKS He Advises That Steering Com- mittee Should Guitlo'Dcmo-crat- s in House. Special Pit patch- to Tns Ri.. Washington, March 30. The two dozen Democrats trying to displace Champ Clark as minority floor leader of the House in the next Congress went oft on a new tack ht They nsserted that a different sort of lesdershlp was necessary if the Administration was to be defended In the Republican Investi- gations of the laxness, extravagance and Inefficiency of the Wilson Administration. Representative Italney (III.), who ranks next to Representative KHchln (N. C) among the Democratic members of the Ways and (Means Committee, has been Induced to lesd the fight against Mr. Clark after the Insurgents had failed to force their banner Into the hands of Mr. Kitchln, Mr. Galllvan (Mats.) and Mr. Ferris (Okla.). Accordingly Mr. Italney at the instance of the \Demo- cratic reorganisation committee' Issued this statement attacking Mr. Clark: \The way to escape the kind of leader- ship we have been having In the past Is to submit the control ot the Demo- cratic minority- - In the next House to a steering committee. It Is a well known fact that throughout the war leaders of the Democratic majority ot the House were not In sympathy with the Adminis- tration and there was no attempt on their part to conceal their hostility to the Administration and the Administration plans for organisation of the army and carrying to a successful conclusion our participation In the great war. \It would be particularly unfortunate at\ the present time to place the Demo- cratic Administration between two fires. We can expect alPaorts of Investiga- tions to b'e Inaugurated by the Repub- lican majority In the House. We ought to at least have a Democratlo organiza- tion and a minority leader who will de- fend the Administration when It ought to be defended. \A militant minority leader properly elected by the steering committee, which cannot be said to be sectional In char- acter, acting In harmony with the Dem- ocratic Administration, may retrieve the losses of last November. The Demo- cratic party Is not eeotlonal. There are more Democrats In Illinois, a Northern State, than there are in several Southern States. \A steering committee such as is pro- posed will offset the argument often used with so much effect that the Demo- cratic jjarty Is merely a party of the South. I regard It as of the greatest Importance that the Democratic minor- ity In the next House act In harmony with the Administration, and my duty as I seo It compels me to support the plans of the Democratic reorganisation committee.\ LONGWORTH RAKES HOUSE MACHINERY Wants Steering Committee of Nine Members. Fpeciat DupateK to Tns St' Washington, March 30. Representa- tive Nicholas Lor.gworth (Ohio) to- night again attacked the Republican organization of the next House, de claring that the steering committee pro- - vlded under it should be enlarged from five to nine members. He seld that In his opinion Repre- sentative Mondell (Wyo.), thenew floor leader hss a record on preparedness \comparable only\ to that of Represen tative Kitchln (N. C). retiring Demo-cratl- c Chairman of the Ways and Means Comm!tte and Democratlo floor leader In the last Congress and Representa- tive Dent (Ala.), retiring Democratic Chairman of the House. Military Com- mittee, leaders in the fight against the selective strVlce law. \That the country Is interested in the organisation 'of the nest Congress, par- ticularly the House of Representatives, Is apparent from the great number of letters and newspaper articles I have received from all parts of the country,\ said Mr, Longworth. \It Is highly sig- nificant that at least tS per cent, of these are written In commendation of the course pursued by some of us In criticism of and opposition to the pro gramme of the Mann-controll- and Mann-handle- d Committee on Committees and they completely Justify our de- termination to carry our fight Into the Republican caucus. \The steering committee was selected with a majority of tho membership sup- porters of Mr. Mann. This is an en- tirely new piece of legislative machinery. one unprecedented in the history ot the Republican party when it was In power, and few people, I think, realise the Im- portance of lt3 duties or the vast powers that it will wield In the coming Con- gress. CLOTHES OF THE SUN, LEGISLATURE MAY PASS BI-PO- RT BILL Bcpuhlican Loaders at Albany Disposed to Jam Through Interstate Treaty. CONFERENCE TO BE HELD (Feeling Rises? Against Undue ' Delay liy City Board of Estimate. SpiHat Dtipatch to Tps Sex. At.nAMr, Msrch 30. There Is a grow- ing feeling among Republican leaders In the Legislature that It the New York city Board of estimate does not act within a few days on ths proposed treaty between New York Stats and New Jersey to create a Joint port to develop the port of New York the Legislature should go. ahead and lake affirmative action In the matter be- foro adjounrnment. A conference of the Republicans Is to be called early this week to consider this proposition. The Republicans may take the same stand In regard to the treaty that they did in putting through the New York-Jerse- y vehicular tunnel bill which was that the Senators opposing the plan held narrow views and feared to approve the proposition because some benefit might go to Jersey and put the Jotnt treaty proposal through without waiting for the Hoard of Estimate, which they believe is not going at the problem with the speed and vigor that the situation calls rer. This promises to be a busy week In the Legislature. Democratic Leader James A. Foley of the Senate Is ex- pected back after several weeks IllnesH, and after conferences with him the Republicans will Introduce new pumtc service legislation to\meet the demands ot Gov. Smith for a single headed New Tone city Publlo Service Commission and a single Rapid Transit Commis- sioner to complete the subways. The four Senators and five Assembly- men who are to compose the Bolshevik Investigating committee of tho Legisla- ture will be named during the coming weok. It Is expected. While this com- mittee will not conduct hearings before the Legislature adjourns, preliminary plans for Its work will 1 arranged by Senator Clayton R. Lusk, who Is to be chairman. Hearings are to b held In New York city. Buffalo, Syracn.'e, Watcrtown and other places where traces of activity In spreading Bolshe- vik propaganda have been noticed. Gov. Smith will begin work going over the annual appropriation Mil. which makes appropriations totalling almost 360.000,000. He will have until a week from next Wednesday to act on thousands of Hems It contains. The measure Is In budget form, however, and the Governor's budget clerk has been going over It for several weeks. , The Senate Finance Committee prob- ably will act favorably this week on the nomination of Col. Frederick P. Greone ot Long Island to be State Highway Commissioner. The bills proposing to legalise Sundsy baseball and Sunday movies after 2 o'clock In the afternoon and the Glbbs bill legalising boxing will be acted on before Thursday. Hearings will be scheduled for a week from Tuesday on the proposed 2 per cent State Income tax. The bill Increas-In- g automobile taxes to rale an addi- tional 34,000.000 Is to be advanced and n new measure Increasing the State In- heritance taxes to raise about $4,000,000 Is to be proposed.
