SHORTAGE or COAL FEARED
Working Force Depleted by Miners
Going to War.

Altoona. Pa. Aug. 12.-Anticipating
a shortage OF coal this fall and winter
the Pennsylvania railroad is taking
steps to protect itself by storing thou
sands OF tons at convenient points
along the system. Two big storage
stations have been established here.
Since the start of the European wal
many miners have responded to calls
to the colors. AS a result coal eom-
panies have been Obliged to advertise
for miners. One operator in the Cen
trail Pennsylvania field stated that
dealers are making money now for
the first time In several years. as the
manufacturing of war munitions has
caused a big demand for coal and
most OF the mines are working full
time.

kAlSER'S ENTRY DELAYED
Feared Russian Spies at Warsaw
Would Attempt His Life.

Amsterdam, Aug. 12.-Fears that
Russian spies would attempt to take
his life delayed the triumphal en-
trance OF the kaiser into Warsaw. it
was learned from reliable sources
here.
The emperor planned to enter the
Polish capital with his victorious
troops on the heels of the Russians.
But rumors reached the German Sc
cret service that all the public places
in Warsaw had been mined and agents
of the ear left behind In the capital
with orders to slay the kaiser. Con-
~sequently arrangements for his i'm
mediate entry into the city were can
celled.
For the same reason American and
other neutral correspondents at Der.
lin who were to have been permitted
to enter Warsaw on the day follow
ing Its evacuation were forced to de-
lay their visit.

although the Marconi company uses
wire communication i'm its transconti-

San Francisco has been In wireless
communication for nearly a wear with
the Marconi station at Koko head on
Oahu island, in Hawaii, and recently
messages for the first time were ex-
changed between Koko head and the
station at F~unabashi, Japan. Wireless
communication from Japan extends to
~Vladivostok, Russia, and to various
points In China and the orient.
The next link of the chain around
the world will be from Japan to Singa-
pore on the Malay peninsula, extend
ing the system of direct wireless COM
munication about 5000 miles farther.
A station at Singapore was to have
been erected as part Of the British Inn
perial chain, but it has been delayed.
although 1t was said at the Marconi
offices that 1t probably would be COM
pleted within a year.
The next great station west of Singa-
pore Is to be at Bangalore, capital OF
Mysore, India. Then the next is to be
at Alden. on the southernmost tip of
Arabia. The last link of the chain will
be at Alexandria, Egypt, which will
send messages east to Alden and west
to Carnarvon, Wales.
In spite of the war, 1t Is intended by
the British Marconi company to push
the imperial chain to completion, and
In a year or a little more 1t will be
possible to relay messages around the
$4,000 miles of the earth's circumfer-
ence, a distance which for practical
purposes is increased considerably be-
the nine stations are not on
parallels of latitude.
From the main line round the earth
the wireless system will extend In all
directions, covering not only Europe
and North America, but Asia, South
America. Africa and the islands of the
orient with a network which will put
almost every city In the world in quick
communication with almost all Of the

and that no inconsiderable amount of
the crime that Is being constantly com

In the border region is directly trace

lance sets forth that the dangerous
properties of marihuana and the in
creasing sale, with resulting injury to
public health and public morals, de-
mand such an ordinance and its rigid
enforcement.
The smoking of marihuana cigarettes
has gained such a hold on the Mexi-
cans of this region that the enactment
of a state law prohibiting the sale or
use of the drug In any form Will be
urged upon the legislature.
The prisons of Mexico contain thou
sands of men and women who are In

were realized by the late President Por-
frio Diaz, and during the latter years
OF his administration an order was In

by death for any person to sell or give
to any soldier marihuana cigarettes or
the weed in any other form.

however, is to crush the leaves and roll
the particles into cigarettes.
Mexicans who are addicted to the
use OF the drug say that one cigarette

The period of temporary insanity
lasts for several hours and Is followed
by a deep sleep. which often lasts for
forty-eight hours. He awakes with no
knowledge of what has transpired
while the full effects OF the drug were
upon him. 1t takes only a few months
of constant indulgence In the habit to

Savannah, Ga.-Dr. Joseph Goldberg
err, In charge Of pellagra research
work for the public health service, an
nounced that experiments conducted at
the Georgia and Mississippi state SAM
tariums have confirmed the theory that
pellagra Is caused by eating too much
starchy food.
According to DR.. Goldberger, expert
ments have proved the theory conclu-
siyely. He added that 1t had been de-
termined that the disease was not con
tagious.
while pellagra is more prevalent in
the south than In the north, there is
just as much a possibility of the re-
verse;" said DIR. G%oldberger, except
for the fact that northern people eat
more meat and other nonstarch foods
than do the people OF the south"
