The first formal utterances from any member of the president's cabinet or other high officials of the government since the pope's peace proposal was came today in a scathing denunciation of peace movements launched in this country.

Secretary of Commerce Redfield was the spokesman. He declared there are two great opposing ideals in the world the ideals of autocracy and democracy. Germany, he styled a desperado among nations and declared it was against her militant autocracy that America was lighting. "In this fearful combat, autocracy trembles on the edge of disaster' the secretary wrote to a member of a pacifist organization, "and this is the time you cunningly lift your voice in its behalf." IHIIT OUT FOR HUM'S ARREST Wilson Assures Gov. Philipp of Early Action to Relieve Shortage; Fuel Prices Fixed President "Wilson has promised the people of Wisconsin relief from the coal situation.

Got. E. L. Philipp received a letter from the president today to that effect. Some time ago Gov.

Philipp sent a telegram to the nation's executive explaining that unless something was done immediately there would be a coal shortage in Wisconsin and the northwest, resulting in great suffering. The following letter was received in reply at the executive office today: Washington. D. C. Aug.

IS 1917. My Dear Governor Philipp: I have your telegram of August 14. You may be sure I appreciate to the full the critical condition in the northwest with regard to a coal supply and I am hoping that early steps will be taken which will be adequate to remedy the situation. Cordially and sincerely yours. Wood row Wilson.

From Camp Douglas, Gov. Philipp will go direct to Chicago Thursday to attend a conference on coal with representatives of the twelve northwest-ern states. Railroad transportation will be discussed-Wilson Fixe Price WASHINGTON. Aug. 22.

Spectacular blows at war profits wtre struck in all government quarters todav. President Wilson began his price lix-lng program by establishing a -price of approximately $2 a ton on bituminous coal at the mine and expected to fix the price to retailer and consumer soon. Increasing demands were heard in the senate for revision of the great tax bill so as to conscript wealth more heavily. President Wilson's sweeping action In tumbling down the price of coal only foreshadows what the government Is ready to do In the case of ottier products, steel, oil and everything needed by the government. Ferret Out German Agents Labor, determined to share In the profits, threaten strikes In many ship yards and other plants.

It is expected, however, that early adjustment of these troubles will come. The department of Justice Is Increasing lis vigilance to ferret out German agents who may be behind some of the-labor unrest, The rate of profit to be enacted by the president Is expected to be 20 cents a ton for wholesalers and in cents for retailers. Affords Working Basis This, added to the president's prices at the mouth of the mine In the twenty-nine coal districts of the coun-ry. together with railroad freight and expense of local delivery will afford every city a working basis for figuring the coal costs to the American home. Costs for the average house should be figured on prepared sizes which are 25 rents higher than the "run of mine'' coal.

Mon who married Immediately after the declaration of war and the passage of the draft law, will find no little trouble explaining In case they make claims for exemption on the ground of a dependent wife. Thus far a number have been refused exemption.

Chairman William Dowllng announced today that every man who married recently Is eumftioned to appear before the board In i person. Complete Physical Tests Only In the event he Is able to satisfy that body that plans for the marriage were made long before the declaration of war will a man be granted exemption.

Burgess Is secretary, is being swamped with work. Appeals of all kinds, from applications to President Wilson for exemption, to the ordinary claims, are causing the members no little concern.

Not only Mr. Burgess, but the entire board, has been working day and night. C. A. Clark, representing Provost Marshal General Crowder In Sauk county, appealed 102 exemptions granted by the local board to the appeal board today.

Two men have appealed from the decision of the appeal board to President Wilson. Advice To Registered Men Approximately fifty percent of men certified from agricultural districts have riled claims for occupational exemptions. Of these only about one-half have been allowed. Each case must be considered separately. From the cities less than 20 per cent have filed occupational exemption claims.

Mr, Burgess has a word of advice for registered men. "Many have forgotten that all occupational exemption claims should be Hied before this board and not before the local boards." he said. "Instead of handing in these blanks to your local board send them to the district appeal board at Madison. We have been forced to deny many of these claims because the men did not adopt the proper File Exemption Claims Exemption -claims filed before city board today follow. Edwin H.

B. Van Dyke, East Orange, N. who wrote to Redfield, asking support of the La Follette peace resolution now in the senate. CALLS LETTER "EXTRAORDINARY" In his reply Redfield declared: "I had received over your signature under date of the 16th inst. what you are pleased to call 'Important request' for my 'favorable consideration on the La Follette peace "Your communication is extraordinary by reason of what it omits.

There is, for example, no reference to the rape of Belgium, nor dors it show by direct word or by Internal evidence that you have read the clear and lucid statement by the president on the causes of the war. "There Is no word in your communication that speaks an American spirit. You seem Interested to assert evil intentions on the part of the nations allied with us in the war, and an equally earnest wish to slur over the spirit and act on the part of Germany which brought this war into being. V'STABS COUNTRY IN THE BACK" "Subtlety and by indiscretion, you take such a course as would slab your country In the back, as would tie the hands of the president and make ineffective for righteousness the sacrifices ot our men and our treasure "You deal with superficialities and the substance. You chase shadows and Ignore realities.

You seem not to know that there are two great opposing Ideals in the world, one of which must go down before the other. These Ideals are autocracy and democracy. "Autocracy has put its heel on Belgium, on Serbia, on Montenegro, on Poland, on Rumania, on a fair part of France. "It is a skilled and highly trained autocracy. It knows well how to disguise its purposes and how to conduct thru weak and willing hands a secret campaign in many lands, including our own, hiding itself under the guise of fairness, pleading in the fair name of peace, for the purpose of doing its foul deeds.

CALLS GERMANY "DESPERADO" "Against this militant autocracy, whoso lust for power led it to begin this murderous war by deliberate at tack on nations who sought only quiet, against this desperado among the nations stand the democracies of the world; the free peoples against the peoples that are bound; the peoples whose ideal is right against the people whose Ideal is might. "In the fearful combat autocracy trembles on the edge of disaster and this ts the time you cunningly lift your voice in its behalf. "Your country stands today with the free peoples of the world In order to make It safe for a free people to be. In this larger cause are bound up lesser tho still great ones. "AMERICA ABHORS AUTOCRACY" "For the American people abhor not only autocracy, but that which autocracy has done In this war.

They look with horror on what autocracy has done in Belgium. They shrink from what autocracy has done with the daughters of France. They shudder at the continued slaughter of women and children in defenceless towns in the name of autocracy. They deeply resent that men and women are sent to a pitiless death that autocracy may work its will upon the seas. Against these and all things like them, wrought by autocracy for Its own end.

the American people stand embattled. "No humane note rings In your letter. No pity for slaughtered nations shows in It. But you have an excuse for Germany and the moral forces have none." GEORGES CARPENTIER IN U. S.
