'2} THE task for working out a perfect
system for regulating the price and
controlling. the distribution Of coal to
meet local requirements is a thernen-
dOus undertaking and will require
Linn and atience if satisfactory re-
ultc are to be obtained. To this end
ne department needs the earnest CO.

agents representing the department

Niding in erfecting the system.
1.-THE conditions entering into and
which have resulted in the present
critical sitiratiOn are numerous. The
most important, perhaps the enor-
nous increase in demand compared
with production. The Federal Trade
Commission has estimated that the
Increased consumption is fully 20 per
cent. The Increased consumption of
coal by railroads, due to the enor-
nous demands for transportation ser
vice, is about 30 per cent, or an in
crease of about 4O,000000 tons. The
railroads in normal times take 25
per cent Of the coal produced each
year. The cotton mills in Georgia,
the Carolinas, and in New England
have increased their output far above
normal. running day and night, nee
cssarily increasing their output of

an increased reduction in 1916 over

Now is the time for our business
men to begin thinking about the e.
rection of a cotton factory in this
town. We hare needed this enter

prise is going to be worth anything
that is not fostered aid cared for by
local people. This will be more near

would like to see il destroyed. | realize
that Mr.. Spreckels' balance sheet will
not look so good next year as last. for

Furthermore his balance sheet would
have looked better this year if the
price of last August had not been re-
duced and held fast, in the face of a
partial shortage that promised a fair
opportunity for thrty-cent sugar and
much increased profits.

congestion.
Order went forth to Fuel Admins
tration representatives in the middle
west to make every attempt TO move
coal to points in many instances de-
cared to be facing actual coal famine.
Tonight Fuel Administrator Garfield
named c. r. Moriarity of Cleveland
general director of the Middlewest coal
shippers terminal pool association and
gave him full powers and authority to
supervise transportation.
l.. Homer Johnson. federal fuel ad-
ministrator for Ohio, reported from
Cleveland tonight that he had started
sixty carloads of coal into that city
where 100 900 men were idle today be-
cause of the shutting down of plants
lacking power. Mr.. johnson, who has
been given full powers in the matter
of distribution, said he would supply
householders first even if it forced in
dustres to close.
Reports from New York today told
of widespread suffering in the city and
state. The New York City board of
health wired that thousands of chill
dren were cold and that an epidemic of
pneumonia was feared. In Beaver Val
ley. Pennsylvania, women and children
were reported to be housed in churches
and schools that they might keep
warm.
Street car systems in many towns
also are threatened with suspension
because of lack of fuel.

APPEAL MADE FOR
SHOES FOR THE POOR

Shoes more shoes, are wanted for
the poor at Christmas, and while Mrs.
Shelby Downward who is in charge or
that part of the municipal Christmas
has had a generous response, still not
nearly enough have been received. A
number of persons have sent slippers,
but these are not desirable as they
could not possibly be used in cold
weather. so it will be better for the
donors to stick to high shoes when
making their gifts. Shoes for the wee
toddling baby, for children. and men
and women as well, are asked for, The
high cost of shoes il working hard
ship on poor people and they must have
shoes 10 wear during the winter
months. and those in more fortunate
circumstances are asked to help bear
the burdens of their brothers ana
sisters in adversely. One generous
hearted man who is hearkening to the
call. has solicitously inquired, what is
to cover the poor. bare legs of those
who will wear these Shoes" and real
izing that hose are a necessary ac-
commandment to shoes, said, see me
for stockings" That is the spirit that
is needed and If Ardmores well-to-do
people will give of their bounty, much
suffering will be prevented. and real
practical help will be given to those in
need.

WAR SUMMARY

ditions and draft of a treaty" have
been formulated. The discussions have
beep put over from Friday to Saturday,
however, as the Russian delegates de-
sired to obtain supplementary instruc-
tions from their government. Whether
the word treaty" refers to q formal
peace treaty or merely to the armistice
agreement that has been pending Is
not clear from the German announce
ment.
The Italian front remains the only
major field of military operations. in
which there is more than local activity
on the part of the infantry. The Italian
line, although almost ceaselessly as
sailed in the mountain regions. still is
intact and holding well except for a
small recession here and there, forced
at the cost of extremely heavy casual
ties on the part of the Austro-German
invaders. Berlin claims the taking of
more than 5000 prisoners in the fight
ing of the last few days and the re-
pulse of Italian counter attacks on posi-
tions won by the Teutons.
FrancO-Belgian Front.
The Franco-Belgian front is inactive
except for local fighting. mostly due to
German thrusts here and there delivered
with the seeming intention of keeping
the Anglo-French command guessing
as to the real intentions.
In Palestine. the British have scored
a further advance northeast of Jerusa-
lem.
In making known the sinking of two
more Norwegian steamers. the Norwe-
gian government announces that five
thousand Norwegian sailors have been
lost during the war.
Two airships of the non-rigid type
have been lost by the British. one Of
which was sunk by seaplane in the
North Sea while on patrol and the other
being compelled to descend in Dutch
territory because of engine trouble.
The British admiralty also announces
the sinking Of British destroyer
through a collision. all but two Of those
on board being saved.

of these funds. but have voluntarily

chance to make good in every respect.
The burden of the disgrace and my
thoughts is heavy load"

could easily have done so on this oc-
casion. but remorse overcame him.

Nicholas Romanoff. former emperor OF
Russia, deposed last March by the rev.
olutionists and for several months in
confinement at Tobolsk. Siberia. is re-
ported to have made his escape.
The report, unlike previous rumors
to this effect, came through the boil
sheviki headquarters in Petrograd. but
few hours later il was officially de-
MED by bolshevki leaders that Mich
olas had escaped.
Previous reports of the escape of
Nicholas had him making his way out
of Siberia through Harbin. Mancnuria
The route to Hardin is a long one. how
ever, and he would have 1000 miles
to travel before reaching the Pacific
coast from Tobolsk. although tnat place
itself is some 100 miles east of Moscow.
There remains the possibility that ST
IBERIA itself may be a safe asylum for
him for the time being as that vast
province of Russia was reported last
month TO have declared its independence
and to have named Nicholas as its EN-
peror.
An Enigmatical Situation.
The effect of the ex-cZar's escape upon
the bolsheviki plans for the future
course of Russia could scarcely be even
surmised. so enigmatic in many ways
has been the recent course of the Len
ine-Trotzky government in Petrograd,
which now appears to be getting the
upper hand in many parts of the coun-
try outside the northern centers, over
coming the opposition of the more con-
servative elements. Some English cor
respondents in Petrograd. indeed. have
lately come to take the visw that the
bolsheviki leaders were planning event
ually TO put a monarchical form OF

ures. coupled with their hold on the
proletariat through the popularity Of
their land reform and peace measures.

members of his family and his suite.
At first he was quartered In the govern
or's palace in he own of Tobolsk. but
October IL il was given out that he and
his family had been transferred to a
monastery situated about twenty miles
outside the town.
