DANES FACE FUEL FAMINE
Taking Steps Now to Prevent
PEOPLE From Freezing Next VIM

Taking Steps Now to prevent
People From Freezing Next VIM
ter.
Copenhagen, April 2.-Denmark,a
precarious situation regarding fuel
which heretofore has been almost
exclusively of foreign origin, I'M
ported from England and Germany,
has led to the introduction in parlla-
ment of a bill looking to the great
est possible exploitation OF home
resources, forests, peat boys and
limited deposits of Ignite coal. The
measure provides that owners un-
able or unwilling to work these
most intensively must turn them
over to the government, and autho-
rizes compulsion to enlist necessary
labor where this otherwise is not
available, besides the use of troops
in cutting wood and working the
fuel deposits.
The country has been on the verge
of an actual fuel famine for the last
two months, and only the most
stringent restrictions with respect
to consumption has enabled it to
tide over the crisis.

SENATOR STONE

Says When Time Comes He Will
Scream as Loud as Any War Eagle
Chairman Stone, Of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee. which
would handle any resolution S deelar-
ing war or s aS,state of war, late yester-
day called meeting Of his commit
tee for this morning. aE,
Senator Stone said he had no lntor-
nation how soon the House might act
on war resolution, but in view OF
the Presidents address, he believed
his committee might as well meet ana
begin work. The Senator said ne did
not expect to make speech on the
war resolution.
81 am against declaration OF war
he added, "but when it is declared
will be a war eagle screaming as
loud as the rest. Blood is thicker tnan
water, and no matter what opinions
man might have about the need OF
war, any other position would be con-
temptible and no American could con-
template it. War is not play ano
when we go into it l believe we should
go in to the limit with men and money
if it takes 100000 men, all right;
if it takes 100000 men, all right;
! if it takes $4,000, 100000 or s5O,oOO,-
100000, all right. There is no use
nlavinp around the edges Of war.

Meeting of Workers Is
Called for Tonight
Gathering in Every School House
Tuesday Evening for Grand
Rush on Holiday on October "a
Work Wanted Meantime.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-
Treasury department estimates
Liberty Loan half subscribed.

The above dispatch agrees in sub
stance with the unofficial estimates
returned by the International Press
Service reports from all parts of the
country, and looks flattering compar-
ed with the returns received by Chair
man E. ]. Finch from this county last
evening. The returns indicate a lack
of work it is believed rather than a
lack of disposition to "come across. "
The city chairmen and workers are
called to meet tonight at o'clock, at
the court house.
The following statement was issued
this morning by Chairman Finch
At the close of business on october
18th the banks of Twin Falls county
had reported in subscriptions to the
Second Liberty Loan amounting to
$81 10000 The quota for the county
is $6OO,0000O. This means that if this
amount is raised before October 9th
that there will have to be subscribed
the sum of $60,00000 each day for the
remainder of the campaign. This coun
| ty can reach the allotment if there
is an interest taken in this work.
Every buyer of a Liberty Bond
should be a committee of one to sec
that some other person is induced tc
invest in a bond. Let us make an eff
fort to see that there is a bond il
every home in Twin Falls county. Oul
boys have responded nobly. Not {
Stacker among them. Let us see thai
the bonds are oversubscribed ant
make it possible to equip these mel
for the duties imposed upon them
Shall we be more tender with oul
dollars than we are with the lives o
these boys?
Every person who is financially abl'
to buy bond and refuses to do so II
as much a Stacker as the registere'
man who refuses to respond to tn
draft.
Let us wake up for the next eigh
days and go over the top on this $500,
100000 allotment.
On Tuesday evening, October 23r
there will be a patriotic Liberty Bon
meeting in every school house in Twil
Falls county. The day following
Wednesday, October oath, will be Civ
EN- over to Liberty Bond work and tn
afternoon of that day has been de
clared a holiday for this purpose lie
us get organized at these meetings o
Tuesday evening and complete tn
canvass of the county on the 24t
and complete our allotment.
All committee chairmen and
workers on the Liberty Bond drive ar
requested to meet at the court hous
at p. m. tonight.

turn to work until their demands are
