Every one should do their bit. In
these critical times, any aid to the
general public is aid to our govern
ment. There is no coal shortage. But
there is a dreadful transportation
shortage. Every means should be
used to keep the mines running and
the coal moving, to the consumer all
the time. There is no accumulated
stock, and it can not be moved fast
enough for the big fall demand. It is
your duty to order your winters sup
ply now, to be delivered as fast as it
can arrive. This will get you out of

puently I recommend to congress that personal guarantees be suspended so far as the enemies of the government and public order are concerned.
 "Tn international relations, friend ship is maintained with the whole world Only with the United States are frequent negotiations pending because this country has prohibited the ex- portation of metal and because the funds Of Mexico deposited there can only be paid in paper, which owing to the difference in exchange, creates a balance unfavorable to Mexico. But up to this date in every instance these negotiations have resulted favorably and it is probable that a general treaty on this matter will be concluded"
 It already has been announced that an arrangement had been made by which the balance of trade due Mexi- co would be allowed to be sent from the United States in gold with the un- derstanding that Mexico should remove her embargo on the exportation of metal.
 Fl Universal, one of the largest newspapers in Mexico, commenting on the Presidents statement says:
 Tt is not to be doubted that a gen. eral feeling of lack of confidence has arisen over the economic situation and that dreary prospect has arisen before many eyes. perhaps because of a scarcity of foodstuffs and lack of fi- nancial resources Consequently, in congress as well as in all political and industrial centers, 1t Is thought that the best manner of settling this problem would be to find the proper bearings of ourselves in regard to our foreign relations and 1t is hoped that the executive or congress will act to this end"
 Aguirre Berlanga, minister of the in- terior, in an address to congress. urged suspension of the guarantees. He said it was notorious that armed as- saults on trains were frequent and therefore it was necessary to remove the menace.

GERMAN BANKERS ARE ARRESTED IN
 NEW YORK CITY Two Men Are Sent to Ellis Island for Internment
 as Alien Enemies

New York October 16.-Fritz Kuhn prior to the outbreak of the war, Lon don representative of the Deutsche Bank of Berlin, and George von See beck also formerly connected with Q German bank in London, were taken into custody here today by the intelli- gence bureau of the navy department and sent to Ellis Island for intern ment as dangerous enemy aliens
 Won Seebeck is believed to be the son of General Baron von Seebeclx, commander of the German Tenth army corps at Liege.
 Both men fled from England to es- cape internment there as enemy aliens and came to the United States. Both were known by reputation to many American bankers and found no diff culty in obtaining employment with the Guaranty Trust company of this city. Won Seebeck soon became head of the division in the foreign depart ment More than year ago, however the Guaranty company dropped them rom the pay rolls of it's employees be- cause of their pro German sympathies
 After that both obtained employ ment in an importing house with of- f1ces on the water front and it was there they were taken into custody by agents of the intelligence bureau Considerable secrecy was maintained as to their antecedents and no infor- nation was obtainable concerning thelr pro-German activities.

Garfield Demands
 That Coal Miners
 Remain at Work
Fuel Administrator Issues Statement to Union Men and Operators, and President White of Union Prevails on Central West Workers
 to Delay the Proposed Walk Out.

Kansas City, October 16-John P. White, president of the United Mine Workers, in telegram to union offi- cials tonight, urged that the strike in all coal mines operated by the south western Operators association called for Friday. be postponed pending fur ther negotiations.
 The message from MT. White was read to Alexander Howat, president of district A. He declared it would Dc ignored and the strike would be car- ried out as arranged.
 Not all the operators in America nor any influence they can bring to bear will ever force such an injustice upon the miners of this section," he said, in reference to the penalty clause in the proposed new wage agreement All other demands of the miners have been granted and the clause that would fine either operators or miners that caused the strike has been a stumbling block.
 From Oklahoma City, John Wilkins, president of district 21, United Mine Workers of America (Oklahoma, Ar kansas and Texas) also issued state ment similar to MT. Howat, after he was informed of the White message.
 Later he received Fuel Administra- tor Garfield's warning about strikes and declared that he would abide by MT. Whites request.

l Similar messages went to the opera tors in the territory. Following is the message Dr. Garfield sent to the union officials, similar te.e- grams going to the operators in the ter- ritory involved:
 T am informed that the officers of your national association have appealed to you to use every effort in your power to avert a strike at this time, in view of the national situation and the great task imposed on President Wilson. I cannot too strongly reinforce this mes- sage.
 Strikes must not take place. If they have been ordered the order ought to be revoked at once. The terms of the agreecent entered upon at Washington between operators and miners are fair. understand that the only clause ob- jected to is the clause providing for penalty. It is just that this should be agreed to-
 T shall use every power committed to me to prevent strikes and warn yol against allowing the order to stand. If you cannot compose differences with operators at home meet me here in Washington, meanwhile keeping the mines as work '

 APPEALS TO PEOPLE
 Statements urging the people of the day by Secretary Houston and Samuel Gompers.
 Every man, woman or child who wishes to feel he has had a part Ill bring ing about the wider liberty which is com ing to the world through the war we are fighting" MT. Gompers said, "can be assured he is contributing directly by buying q DOuu An investment Tn one of these bonds is an investment in liberty with a sure return on the money in- vested.
 Every citizen of this free country ought to contribute in accord with his ability. Patriotism consists in doing or giving that which is necessary to main tain the principles of our country. Not giving but loaning money is necessary contribution to world freedom"
 In a statement addressed to the farm CTS of the nation Secretary Houston said {:
 Tt is every citizens duty to purchase liberty bond if he is in position to dc so. The nations task is a. serious one. It intimately touches each of us. It faces you and me. If de do not win this war we must prepare ourselves for grave changes in our institutions and to lead a different sort of life from that which we had planned to live-from that which our forefathers died to give us the right to live.
 ''I know that every farmer wants to do all in his power for the nation in this day of trial. We will not only labor to produce the necessary foodstuff5 but also will contribute generously of his means to make it possible for the men at the front to achieve victory"
