IN COAL SALES Federal Fuel Administrator Ad vises That Discrimination Is Prohibited "Cut it out," is the curt admonition of the North Dakota fuel federation to certain dealers who have been charged with discriminating in the sale of coal. J. M*. Hammond of Ashley, fuel ad minister for Mcintosh county, referred to the federal administrator for Nortn Dakota complaints to the effect that certain dealers were refusing to sell coal to consumers who were not on their books as patrons in other lines. For instance, an elevator company would decline to sell coal to a. farmer who did not ship his, grain through this company. Similar instances of discrim ination have been reported In the case of other fuel dealers. Capt. Baker advised County Admin istrator Hammond that dealers must treat all alike in the distribution of coal supplies, with a view to making proper provision for everyone, and to avert hardship. Fuel in these. times has become a public utility whose dis tribution and consumption is regulated by the nation, and no retailer or jobber will be allowed to pick and choose .the, people who may have the coal which" chances to pass through his hands, nor to say to any class of people that they are not to have the coal Required to make their homes comfortably FOOD WILL BE SHIPPED TO GERMAN PEOPLE Washington, Nov. 13.—Germany's appeal for food has been answered by President Wilson with the promise that he would take up with the allies im mediately the question of sending sup plies if -assurances can be given that order will be maintained in Germany and ai} equitable distribution of food will be made.

WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH THE KAISER? "What shall we do with the kais er?" is the question of the hour. The following interview, written more than a year ago, and held in The Trib une morgue for an opportune time, may offer some suggestions: By J. HERBERT DUCKWORTH Staff Special. New York, Nov. 13.—"Threats made in the English Jxouse of commons that Emperor William and other high Ger man ministers responsible for the deatfis" "cl^Iaiia by Zeppelins"and U-boats and by the naval bombard ment of unfortified towns ivill be Legal Adviser of British Diplomats Explains International Law. of Threat to Send Kaiser to St. Helena !«ISS FAUSKE DELAYS SAILING FOR CHINA "Promises to the British people by responsible ministers in par liament that when the great war is, over the kaiser will be tried for his-crimes, if the allies are victoriduc, are not idle threats." This is the conviction of Maurice Leon, legal advisor to the diplomatic and consular officers of France in the United States. Leon points out the origin of the jury is that, when a crime is committed, those who know most about it, those nearest to the scene when it occurred, are gathered to try the offender. Therefore, he says: "I believe in the kaiser's case the allies will have to select a jury made up of the highest judicial officers of the nations in whose midst the horrors were committed. The men to constitute a proper jury to try the kaiser would be— SIX BELGIAN JUDGES. THREE FRENCH JUDGES. THREE BRITISH JUDGES. "The kaiser would not be tried according to international law. For the killing of innocent civilians in France, Belgium and Great Britain calls not only for general retribution but for particular retri bution upon the actual responsibles and those according to all law are not only those by whom the ~#rflers were carried out, but those who gave the orders. "The particular criminal in this case, alleged to be the kaiser, will be brought to the bar of justice to answer the charge that he was the leader of a long-prejudiced scheme to exterminate the civil popula tions which suffered* at the hands of his armies in Belgium and France as well as a scheme to wipe out civilian populations in Great Britain by Zeppelin attacks." mado to answer, may be taken liter ally: "Capt. Guy Grant, the British naval attache in New York, assured mo today: "I have no first-hand knowl edge," he said,' "of what the Brit* ish government intends to do with the kaiser, his general staff and his great ministers, but you may talte my word that when Asquith and Lloyd-George prom ise the British people that those who sanctioned the Lusitania, Car veil, Fryatt and other such atroci ties, NO MATTER HOW HIGH THEIRf POSITION MAY BE, will be adequately punished, they mean exactly, what they say! "We got into the war to avenge Belgium and we mean to stick the business until we attain our purpose if it takes from now until doomsday, "American* have not the slight est idea of the bitterness that is felt in England and France against those who have sanction ed these things, things we feel have been forbidden by Hague conventions.

"The English people are crying for vengeance. They demand vengeance. The allied govern ments, of course, are not after vengeance, but they mean to see that justice is done." "Will tho allies send the kaiser to St. Helena, or banish him. to some other lonely island?" 1 asked Capt. Gaunt. The captain laughed. ,' yayp jfhu ..evBj ibj^u.^to St. HeJ ena?'vho inquired in turn. "No? Well, I have. St. Helena has more disreput able people to the square mile than 7 any other place in the world. But I think' it. would be too good a site for a prison for the kaiser! "I like ^the suggestfort that, tho kaiser should be placed on trial before high court judges and made, to answer for his crimes but this phase of the war is not in my line. I am interested in the naval end of the game, and that causes us no anxiety. We are slowly but surely squeezing Germany, and it is only a matter of time before we have the kaiser in our power. "What we shall do' with him then I don't know. He won't be allowed to get off, scot-free I promise you that. Personally I feel that after we have tried and convicted him—and I am sure that HE WILL BE TRIED—FOR WHOLESALE MURDER, the punish ment should be left to come from his own people! "Revolutionists in South Germany, rising against the Hohenzollerns and the junkers of Prussia, may be.- safe ly left to deal with the kaiser and his friends. The Germans are an in teenioys people, and wfe need not worry that they will fail to devise some particularly refined and cultured form of punishment for the ruler who got them Into such trouble."

I AMERICANS SPECULATING I With the American Army on the i'Meuse and Moselle, Nov. IS.—Officers and men today are asking 'what will become of the army now what part will th? Americans take as an army of occupation when will we start home' An absence of Germans was noted along the whole front. Most of them apparently for ,Jyu&e. The Americans," therefore, made themselves comfortable. Every unit is being kept up to war time efficiency against the order, to move forward as an army of occupation, but today in stead of trucks bearing munitions of war there was moving a steady! stream of vehicles bearing food, fuel and supplies. lHAGAN THINKS FOOD PRICES WILL BE HIGHI Sees Little Prospect of General! Decline in Farmers' Pro duce Profits EUROPE NEEDS CATTLE "Peace will not arfect the 1919 price of wheat, which already has been fixed at $2.26 at Chicago," said Commissioner of Agriculture John N. Hagan today. "'I doubt very much," said the commissioner, "whether peace will seriously affect for any length of time the price of any other farm produce. The price for bogs has already been fixed tor a certain definite period. The bureau of mar kets now has under consideration a tentative schedule of standards for oats. Even without further price fixing activities on the part of govern ment, I am firmly convinced that the great demand for- food stuffs from Europe will maintain prices at or near their present standard. "Beef may fall off slightly, but I am looking for a very slight decline. Europe for two or three years to come will consume everything wo can produce. There will bo an especially heavy demand for breeding stock, cows especially. «and mares. This is a matter which the federal government should look into, I think, in order that speculators may not beat down the price here and charge ex orbitant prices on the other side. The profits should be regulated, and if there is to be any extreme profit-tak ing on this line of business, it should go to the government which, with its heavy war obligations, can make use of this extra revenue. "I am of the opinion," said Mr. Ha gan in conclusion, "that in any event we never will see a return to the old speculative markets for food stuffs. Everyone* is pretty firmly convinced that gambling in our very bread and •butter should not be permitted, and I believe that many of our food regu lations will be made permanent, strengthened. broadened and ad justejL" MISS THORBERG INJURED Mandan, N.

Demand Peace Conference Germany is insistent in its demands that the peace, conference be held at once. Dr. W. S. Solf, the foreign secretary, says that only jin early settlement of the questions arising out of the cessation of hostilities can save the German people from famine. In the interim, however, the Germans are deprived of even civil administration in the Rhineland region, which will be taken over by the allies until the final adjustment of the results of the conflict. Allied and American military authorities will govern the country from which Germany will withdraw her defeated legions. This is supplementary agreement to the armistice which also pro vides that Germany shall turn over to the allied victors all of her submarines, instead of the certain number originally specified. The grim spectre of Bolshevism has appeared out of the tur moil of revolution and has received recognition at Berlin. This would seem to indicate that the true socialistic movement has taken a new turn the strength of which cannot be ignored.
