DESERTERS, IF THEY HALT

A last warning was issued today to
drafted men who have failed to answer
the call to the colors. The government
gave notice that those who have fail
ed to report will be given an oppor-
tunity to escape punishment II they
Join the colors now and explain their
previous failure to do so. If they show
willful disposition to evade service.

Drafted men failing to report now
will be promptly advertised as desert
ers and a reward of $50 offered for
their apprehension. Divisional COM
mandcrs. however, have been directed
to question personally such men before
trial is ordered. and establish whether
the soldier willfully sought to evade
military service.
Many men who fail to appear. War

innate excuses. while others are mere

Coal Cars in Demand.

The retailers here who handle coal
from the Reading fields are having a
particularly hard time getting coal, as
the Philadelphia and Reading railroad
has practically q standing order that
none of its coal cars shall leave the
home lines. This makes these dealers
dependent on what Baltimore and Ohio
cars get through to the coal fields.
You can see by our books here. for
example. that we received seventeen
Philadelphia and Reading cars loaded
with coal during the first two weeks of
August, 1916" said one large dealer.
During the first two weeks of the
same month this year we got but one
Philadelphia and Reading car" That is
what has contributed more than any
thing else to the present situation.
The Reading fields supply about
65 per cent Of the anthracite used in
Washington under normal conditions.
This time last year we had our bins
piled up. ready for the winter. but now
there is nothing in them but the scoop,
except for our supply of pea coal.

SHORTAGE Of HARD
COAL GRIPS CAPITAL
Serious Situation Feared
Should Cold Snap
Occur Soon.
LACK OF CARS is BLAMED

Washington is in the grip of hard
coal shortage that is of no particular
moment as long as the mild weather
continues, but which is expected to pre-
cipitate a serious situation if a cold
snap should hit the city during October.
Inquiry among the retailers of the
District has shown that many of them
are out Of all anthracite, except pea
coal. and most of those who have a
dwindling supply on hand are selling
it only to old customers and in small
lots. The general opinion seems to be
that inadequate transportation facili-
ties are the cause of this condition.
and. though some other cities are suf-
fering from a shortage. the situation
is more acute in Washington than any
where else. dealers say,

Moves Limited Supply.

The Pennsylvania road is moving a
limited supply of coal to Washington,
but in no way is it keeping abreast of
the demand. and coal men here say the
road officials tell them they cannot get
the cars to carry the needed amount.
Some dealers are offering premium
of rs cents a ton for hard coal and are
picking up small amounts in this way
from Independent buyers. By this meth
cd they are giving their regular Gus
toners enough for immediate needs, but

who is living in a house instead of an

Appeal for Relief.

Many dealers have appealed to the
fuel administration for relief. but have
been met with the reply that it can
do nothing until fuel administrator
has been appointed for the District of
Columbia and has had time to famil-
iarize himself with conditions here and
learn what, If any, supply of coal the
city has on hand. Fuel administrators
have been named for about half the
states. and DR.. Harry A. Garfield has
made 1t plain that he will deal with
local coal problems only through their
state, county and municipal coal COM
mittees.
An official of the fuel administration
said today, however, that the situation
in this part of the country probably
would be greatly relieved after naviga-
