carriers concerning interstate and
intrastate rail rates on coal, coke and
briquettes. consequent on the recent
Supreme Court decision in the Mime
sofa rate case. was made public yes

ing that investigation had shown such
changes in conditions since filing of
complaints that dates would be ar

Commission and the Minnesota State
regulatory body and involves also
similar schedules in other States, af-
fecting transportation from the docks
in Minnesota and Wisconsin on Lake
Superior at Duluth and Superior and
nearby ports, and from the west bank
Of Lake Michigan and the coal fields
of Illinois and Indiana to points in
Minnesota, Wisconsin. Iowa, South

new Paper EXPLAINS
US. farm LOAN Law
Frank Wilson Starts Publication
Boosting Campaign for Tillers.

Truthful advertising Of the farm
loan law and its operation Is to be
insisted upon by members of the Fed
eraI board which directs its admins
tration.
This is the warning given to loan
companies and insurance companies of
the country which have been trying
to discredit the new act and whose
representatives have been making un-
truthful statements about the methods
Of doing business.
80 that the people may know"
Frank Wilson. the former newspaper
man now with the board, has inaug-
urated the publication Of a paper
which will give the people of the
country news on the act. In the
initial issue Mr.. Wilson treats quite
exhaustively of the campaign Of mis-
representation induIged in by some Of
the loan and insurance companies of
the country and let's them know in
this way that the eyes of the Federal
government are upon them.
Incidentally, the board serves
notice, too. that it doesn't expect to
do all the business at the decreased
loan rate. 1t expects private and in
surance companies to loan at the re-
duced rates and to make other con-
cessions for the benefit of the farmers
OF the country.

WOMEN WAR WORKERS
TO BE ENTERTAINED

Sunday afternoon. December q. the
National American Woman Suffrage
Association will keep open house al
Its headquarters, 1926 Rhode Island
avenue, for the women war workers
In Washington. Women engaged in
government work, particularly the
newcomers In Washington, are to be
the special guests. This Is the begin
ming OF q program designed to make
the spacious suffrage headquarters q
regular gathering place for women
workers who are new to Washington.
Mrs. Helen Gardener, Of this city,
a member Of the Congressional CON-
mittee Of the National Suffrage Asso-
ciation, and Mrs. Ryan Devereux, OF
Chevy Chase, are the chief promoters
OF the plan. 1.-THE entire city Is ex-
tending hospitality to soldiers and
Sailors" says Mrs. Gardener, which
Is, Of course, just what we ought to
do. But We ought at the same time
to be equally hospitable and solicitous
about the women who are helping to
carry on the war"

Music Box Thief
Caught by Strains Of
Stolen instrument

Chicago. Nov. 2S.-JulIus Stahl has
an ear for music. He sings at his
work. and when he isn't working he
goes to hear others sing or play, II
nothing prevents. Aside from music
he has been a driver for the Adams
Express Company.
Recently his wife died Evidently
that did not dull his sense of harmony
long. for he made the acquaintance of
Edith Howell. 20 years old. and she
visited his apartments to hear him
sing.
Many articles were placed In stahPs
hands by the express company for de-
livery. and among them was a talking
machine. 1t failed to reach its des-
tination. and was reported lost.
Detectives went to Stahrs apart
ments. As they approached the door
they heard music. They entered and
found Stahl supervising a concert for
Miss Howell. They also found $500
worth of property, they reported,
which had been stolen from the ex-
press company.
Stahl is p years old. According to
the detectives he confessed he had
been stealing from the express COM
pany for a year.

GOTHAM and CHICAGO
HAVE COAL SORTAGE
Fuel Administration Turns Its At
tention to Increasing Supply.

The Fuel Administration gave its
attention yesterday to the task Of
heating the homes of New York City
and Chicago. New York was reported
to be 100000 tons short of its anthra-
cite supply last year. The Lehigh
road was said to be about 100000 tons
behind. and the Susquehanna, ap-
proximately 1l2.vJ0 tons, on shipments
for New York CIty. DR.. Garfield said
steps would be taken to assist the
two roads in making up the short
age.
Chicago relies on gas. made for the
most part as coke by-product.
Shortage of coal for the making Of
coke has cut into Chicago's fuel
supply dangerously, the Fuel Admin
istration admitted. DR.. Garfield said
that with the shutting on of ship
ments via the Lakes to the North
west, on November 30. coal would be
available to fill Chicago's needs.
The Northwest has been fully sup
piled. it was said, and the steady
stream that has been going via the
Lakes may now be diverted to meet
the needs of the Northeastern States

CITIZENS MUST
find OUT OWN
DRAFT STATUS
Provost Marshal General
Il Says Ignorance No Ex-
cuse for Slackers.

Everyone of the more than 5000. 900
registered men must watch out for
his own interests and see that his own
case Is dealt with, whether notified
by the local board or not, according
to ruling promulgated yesterday by
Provost Marshal Gen. Crowder.
Ignorance or indifference on the part
of any man, no matter II he holds a
certificate of exemption or deferred
classification from the first draft, ex-
poses him to the loss of valuable legal
rights and possible Imprisonment,
Gen. Crowder holds.
In a special notice Gen. Crowder
yesterday directed the attention of all
registered men to the effect that they
are charged with a knowledge of the
conscription law and the regulations
governing it.
Duty of Registrants.
THE rules and regulations have the
force and effect of law" says this
notice. "and all registrants and all
persons. required by the selective SER
vice law and these rules and regula-
tions to be registered. and all per-
sons claiming or to claim any right
or privilege in respect to any regis
trant are charged with knowledge Of
the provisions Of the law.
Failure of any registrant. or any
person required to be registered, to
perform any duty prescribed by the
selective service law or by the rules
and regulations. whether or not the
time OF the performance of such
duty is required by these rules and
regulations to be posted or entered
in the records of the local or district
board and whether or not formal no.
tice is required by these rules and
regulations to be given (such as regis
tering and reporting change Of status
and other duties), Is a misdemeanor.
punishable by imprisonment for one
year and may result in the loss of
valuable rights and privileges and
immediate induction into the military
service; and such failure shall also
be considered as a waiver of any
rights or privilege which might have
existed in favor Of such person IL he
had performed such duty"
To Notify seIectives.
Speaking Of the efforts the gov
ernment will make to acquaint every
man with his liability to call and to
furnish him with his QUESTIONABLE,
Gen. Crowder said:
THE process of examination and
selections OF registrants shall begin by
the posting of notices in the Offices OF
the local boards and by mailing a
QUESTIONABLE to every registrant in
cluded within such posted notice;
and the notice of every subsequent
action taken by either the local or
district board in respect of eacn
registrant shall be posted by the
local board and notice sent by mail
to the Tegistrant."
Again calling attention to the pro-
vision of the new regulations which
cancels all previous exemptions ana
deferred classifications, Gen. Crowder
posted the following order:
"All exemptions and DISCHARGES
made prior to noon on December Ii.
1917. and all certificates in evidence
thereof, are hereby revoked from and
after noon on December Is, 1917. and
all such certificates heretofore issued
shall have no further validity
