Sweeping reductions in ibo price of bituminous coal al ni' mines east of the Missis sippi river, ranging from one to live dollars a ton to thc public, with a further cut of fifty cents for the gov eminent, were aureed upon to-day at conferences bot ween tho operators j and govern men I ol?lelnls. Tho new ' prices become effective July I. KOUT hundred operators, who gath- ! ered ber?; yesterday at a call from '< Secretary Lane pledged themselves to furnish (heir product at a reasonable price, were represented in the Until conferences by committees from each Held. Earlier in tho day they bad agreed to place tho price-lixing in the bands ol' the government, through tho Defense Council's coal production committee, Secretary Lane and Com missioner Fort, of the F?deral Trade Commission, thus avoiding tho possi bility of violating the anti-trust laws. Save to Consumers. Director Smith, of tho ecological Survey, estimated thal the reduced prices would mean that Hie operators would get $l80,000,000i less annu ally for their output, and that the saving to (he government and the j coal consuming public would be even greater, Ju addition to placing prices upon con] al I he minos, it was announced that jobbers, brokers, retailers and eommission men would he permitted lo (harno commissions of not morel than LT* cents a lon, and that no more than one commission should be charged. In oilier words, thc con sumer will gel Iiis coal at the mine price plus transportation charges and 2 5 cents per ton. i Government Hie Judge. In the Hnal conferences trade so rrels bel ween competitors, cost prices , and other confidential information i was laid on tho table, and the govern- I meut, acting as judge, decided what would be the highest prices paid at mines, prices to go Into effect on the first Of July, to stay iii effect until In- ! vestigations are made and other I changes ordered. Representatives from various' totales were asked lo quote the mint- i mum prices at which they could fur- ! nish coal. The Cllliclilleld district of Pennsylvania agreed to cut its price for coal as it was loaded at the mouth Of the mine from $5.25 to $.'5; with $?1.50 for lump sises. Tennessee came down from $4.50 to $:i. Virginia did likewise. West Virginia reduced the current contract price of $5.00 to $3, and Illinois and Indiana reduced their prices to $2.75 for coal as it came from the mino. Alabama's Case. Alabama, which mines under dif ferent conditions, with special ex penses, reduced Its price from $5.50 to $;i at tho lowest and $1 at the highest. Maryland lowered its esti mate from $5.75 to the standard lig ure, $2 and $3.50, All tho remaining districts east ot' Illinois that wore represented also agreed to the now ligures except one or two, with special conditions which were deferred for further considera tion. The figures met the entire approval ol' Chairman Peabody, of tho Defense Council's .committee. Secretary Dane and Commissioner Kort. The prices do not apply to coal for export or for bunkers, ?ind of course, do liol affect contracts or sales made before July 1st. MAMMA l DON'T YOU SEE YOUR CHILI) IS SICK, CONSTIPATED ?

Washington, June 27.--The ad vance guard of the mighty army the United States is preparing to send against Cermany is on French soil. in defiance of the German subma rines, thousands of seasoned regulars and marines, trained lighting men with the tan ol' long service on the Mexican border or in Haiti or Santo Domingo still on their faces, have been hastened overseas to light be side Ibo French, the Dr!tish, tho Bel gian, tile Russian, tho Portuguese and the Italian troops on thc western front. News ol' the safe arrival of the troops sent a new thrill through Washington to-day. No formal an nouncement came'from tho War De partment, but when Major Cen. Per shing's olllclal report has been receiv ed ?hore may bo a statement as to tho numbers and composition of the advance guard. Press dispatches from Franco, pre sumably sent forward with the ap proval ol' Den. Pershing's staff, show that Major Cen. Sibert, one of the new major generals of tho anny, commands the first force sent abroad, under Gen. Pershing, as commander in-chief ol' the expedition. One thing stands out sharp, despite tho fact that the size ol' the task that has been accomplished is not fully revealed as yet. This ls that Ameri can enterprise has set a new record for the transportation ol' tloops. Considering the distance to be cov ered and the fact thal all prepara tions had to be made aller thc order canto from tho White House Hie night of May IS, it is practically cer tain that never m ire has a military expedition of thin size been assem bled, convoyed and landed wi!bout mishap in so short time. lt. is a good augury of future achievements. Net (hilns to tho Allies. The American forces will bo a net gain to the allies, lt will throw no single burden of supply or equipment upon them. The troops will he lcd, clothed, armed and equipped hy the United States. Despite the enormous difficulties of unpreparedness and submarine dan gers that faced them, the plans of the army general staff have gone through with clocklike precision. When the order came to prepare immediately an expeditionary force to go to France, virtually all of the men now across tho seas were on the Mexican border. Gen. Pershing him self was at his headquarters in San Antonio. There were no army trans ports available In the Atlantic. Army reserve stores were still depleted from the border mobilization. Regi ments were below war strength. That was tho condition when Pres ident Wilson decided that the plea of the French high commission should be answered. At his word tho War Department began to move. Gen. Pershing was summoned quietly to Washington. At the request of Sec retary Raker tho newspapers gene rally refrained from a discussion of his arrival. There were a thousand other activ ities afoot in the department at the time. All the business of preparing for the registration of ten million men. of providing quarters and in structors for nearly 50,000 prospect ive officers, for Unding arms and equipment for millions of troops yet to he organized, ol' expanding the reg ular army lo full war strength, of preparing and recruiting tho national guard for war. was at hand. Gen. Pershing dropped quietly IMO the department, and set up the first headquarters of the American expe ditionary forces in a little office, hardly large enough to hold himself and his personal staff. There, with the aid of Hie general staff, of Secre tary Maker and of the chiefs of the War Department bureaus, the plans were worked out. Without Word ol' Publication. Announcement of the sending ol' the force under Gen. Pershing was made May ls. Matters relating to tho expedition were carried out with out a word of publicity, The regi ments that were to go with Gen. Per shing were all selected before he left and moving toward tho seacoast from the border. Other regiments also were moving north, east and west to the points where they wore to bo ex panded, and the movement of the troops who were to bo first In France were obscured in all this hurrying of troop trains over tho land. Great shipments ol' war supplies began to assemble al the embarkation ports. Diners suddenly were taken off their regular runs with no an nouncement. A great armada was made ready, supplied, equipped as transports, loaded with men and guns und sent to sea, and all with virtu ally no mention from the press. The navy bears its full share in Hie achievement. From tho timo the troop ships left their docks and headed toward sea, responsibility for the lives of their thousands of men rested upon tho officers and crews of tl)? fighting ships that moved beside them or swopt free thc sea lanes bo fore them. As they pushed on to ward where <Jennan submarines lay in walt, every precaution that trained minda of the navy could devise was taken. While his troops were disembark ing or steaming toward their destina tion, (Jen. Pershing and his staff, sup plemented by a special corps of gene ral staff ofllcors, have been busy In France preparing the way for tho new army. Tho camp sites have been se lected, the details of tho final train ing have been worked out and the questions of supply and transporta tion lines studied. Regiments of the national army, composed of raliway workers and engineers, will aid in that work. They, too, have been cre ated in a few weeks' time. Tho War Department has no an nouncement to make as to Gen. Per shing's disposition of his forces. Presumably that has been left to him to decido in conference with the French general staff, and with offi cials of thc Rritish army. The Ameri can troops will be an independent force co-operating with the allies. It has been suggested that the Ameri cans might be placed between the French and British forces as a con- I aectlng link, but the exigencies of I the planned campaigns will govern j that question.

WELCOME OF ?LUE TO ?RAY. Evidence of a United Nation-No North, No Soutli. Editor Keoweo Courier: The men who wore the blue are doing their utmost for the comfort and enjoy ment of the Confederate veterans. Cen. Ceo. 1'. Harrison, commander in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans, responded to the address of welcome at the opening meeting of the recent Washington convention. "I point with pride and pleasure to the reception which lias been accord ed us to-day." lie said. "Indeed, I am informed that the suggestion of our invitation came from a gallant colonel of tho Union army-Andrew Cowan, Of New York." Gen. Harrison briefly referred to the arbitrament of the sword, declar ing that soon after the war they "buried the hatchet and scalping knife in the rough sands of the sea," and were ready to "bury the bloody spirit." saying that lt was the camp followers and politicians who were slow to recognize the result. Gen. Harrison declared that when President McKinley wore a Confede rate button anil carried a miniature Confederate Hag, presented to him by a bevy of Southern girls, lt was evi dence of a reunited country. "But when I contemplate tho fact that Woodrow Wilson, a Southern man, bas been twice elected and ls to-day President of the United States, and as such the commander-in-chief of Rs army and navy, 1 know that the war of sections is over. And I here re peat that those who wore the Gray are as loyal to our country as those who wore the Blue. All of our past differences are settled. Let us shake bands and be friends," said Gen. i la rrison. To-day our sons are registering in answer to their country's call. Let us encourage and stand by them, whe ther they come from Yankcelnnd or Dixieland. The importance of this reunion is without parallel or com parison. lt will pass into memory as a crowning event in the history of a great nation, an epov. .1 never to be forgotten or obliterated from the pages of history or dimmed by the passing of years. Moro than a half century ago the men who wore the Gray, now revered by all as the even ing shadows deepen upon us. were snatched in youth from the loving embraces of devoted mothers.and left our homes and firesides in defense of what we knew to be right. With bright hopes, stubborn determination ; and I hat historic Southern chivalry surging through our veins, we re sponded lo the trumpet's call and maredied to the tune of "Dixie" with a heroism never surpassed, rarely equaled, and admired by both friend 1 and foe. Inspiring as the strains of 'Dixie" were to us in '(51 to '65, none the less, I am sure, was the feeling of j patriotism that came to each of us! while marching on historic Pennsyl vania avenue under the Stars and Stripes, our country's Hag, to the J soul-inspiring strains of our nation al anthem. "The Star-spangled Ban- ' uer," and with throbbing hearts and steadfast purposes proclaimed that "long shall it wave o'er tho land of the free and the home of the brave." ll* this reunion had as ils only ob ject the proof of a united country, once divided, then this gathering would be in vain. If it is to signify any special fact it is that love reigns and hatred lives no more. The loy alty to The Flag by the men who wore the Gray has long and perma nently been established. It ls ac cepted that there ls now no North, no South, no East, no West, except In so far as geographical necessities re quire. The welcome that we all received was not only for tho men who fol lowed Lee and Jackson, but also for the sons and daughters, sponsors and maids. The welcome was with out qualification or mental reserva tion-the freedom of the city, the hospitality of the people, was unlim ited to the men who wore the gray. The doors rff the city swung wide open to us. This reunion will be cherished as one of the precious events of my life. Of course there will always be some "rough necks" who will not agree with nie when they read this article; but I did not use their glasses. I have written facts as I saw. heard and felt while moving about among the great mul titude. I shall always be glad that I was at tho great peace celebration at Gettysburg four years ago. and at this reunion In thc Capital City of this great country of ours. I have been deeply Impressed with what my eyes saw and my heart felt while Ibero, which made every beat of my heart, and every throb of my pulse, and every drop of blood that courses through my veins take on new life, and left me tinctured afresh with re newed patriotism and courage In my soul.

Last Sunday was a great day among church-goers bore, particular ly Presbyterians, when the handsome now Presbyterian church was for mally opened to the public. Sunday school was held for the first time in the new ed Klee and preaching service as usual at the morning hour. The pastor made an appropriate talk on the purposes ol* a temple of worship, which ho tllvdcd into three points. First, worship; second, teaching; third, service. The new structure is admirably adapted to all. There are 17 class rooms, a dining room and kitchen in the basement, library rooms, pastor's parlor and main au ditorium.
