DODGE HAS COAL SHORTAGE.
Only One Dealer Had Supply-No
Anthracite in the Town.

Dodge City, Kan, Nov. 17.-"The
worst coal situation I have known in
Dodge City in twenty-five years." was
the way E. E. Smith summed up con-
ditions today. Mr.. Sfith is the veteran
coal man of Dodge City. But he isn't
in the coal business today-hasn't a
pound In all his sheds Neither is
there any coal at the Farmers ele
vator. There is soft coal, but no hard,
at the alfalfa mill.
The car shortage is blamed for the
situation. Mr.. Smith said that some
of the mines which supply him are
running but half time now, as they
cannot get cars to haul away the coal
that is mined if the mines were opened
full time.

surrounded with possibilities of grav-
est importance. They have repeated
~ been assured by the White house
that they would be consulted by the
president before he took any drastic
step. such as the breaking off Of Dip
lomatic relations. Congress, still in
ignorance of the presidents purposes.
awaited their disclosure at the /
o'clock session.
1t was considered possible but
hardly probable that the president
might announce that he had decided
to break off diplomatic relations with
Germany but 1t was considered more
likely that. laying the case against
Germany before congress, the country
and the world, he would announce
that relations would be broken unless
fulfllment of promises takes the place
of diplomatic quibbling.
Break May Mean War.
The president consults congress at
this stage. it was pointed out, because
while he has the authority to break Of
diplomatic relations. congress alone
has power to declare war and there
is only one instance in modern history
where break in diplomatic relations
between two first class powers has not
been followed by war 1t is the sit
uation between Germany and Italy.
First class powers have suspended
relations with lesser states and lesser
states have broken between them
selves without hostilities but all diplo-
matte history points to a state of war
when two first class powers reach that
point Exactly what the procedure
will be after the presidents address
to congress was today still obscured
by as much secrecy as it was last
night. 1t was indicated that if the
president does not actually announce
a break in relations, the note which
has been prepared will be dispatched
to Berlin, setting forth the American
governments case and saying the last
word. 1t probably will be in the nature
Of an ultimatum.

case is convincing.
The day book., 1916-06-01

had certified to the cause Of death,
informed Pyne that it was undoubt-
edly cerebral apoplexy, the temporal
artery having broken, leaving a small
round stain at the front of the ear,
due to suffused blood.
The net result was nothing. And
yet Pyne was convinced that Col
Hartley had been murdered.
He stood alone in the library,
looking into the shining, inscrutable
eyes of the Buddha, which seemed to
whisper hints of something diabOl-
cal. He entered the renovated pantry
and sounded the wall. There was
only lath and plaster. The painter
stated that he had only paDered and
painted; the wall had been absolute
ly uninjured. y
Pyne was almost in despair when
a chance remark of a toWnsman
gave him a clue. Three years before
a party of Veddahs, the aborigines
of CeylOn, had been on show in Lon
don, and the authorities had brought
them for day to the colonePs house,
to have him talk with them about
certain matters of the contract
which the interpreter could not un-
derstand. Colonel Hartley had been
a linguistic expert, and the Veddahs,
who were now back in Ceylon, were
delighted with the result. of their
journey.
Pyne felt the clue-but he did not
see it.
Ram Gus, am satisfied that you
had nothing to do with the coloneIs
DEATH" he said to the butler. And
Ram Gus, who had watched him
with uneasiness which he could
hardly conceal, suddenly thawed
out.
1T is hard to be suspected of
having caused the death of a beloved |
master" he said.
VERY sad, and very unfortunate,
answered Pyne. We'll, I shall leave
