COAL SHORTAGE
WILL NOT CLOSE
SCHOOLS here
The Fuel Administrator S
Proposal May Be
Rejected.

Superintendent Ernest L. Thurs
ton. Of the public schools. has under
consideration the proposal Of the Fuel
Administration to close schools at
certain periods Of the school year, I'd
save coal. 1t is thought probably
that Mr.. Thurston will present the
Fuel Administrations report to the
Board Of. Education at their next
meeting.
School officials, II was said yester-
day are Of the opinion that to close
the schools during the Christmas
holidays and not have any heat
would do more harm than good.
Should dampness get into the school
room it would cause the plaster to
fall and when the children returned
to school 1t would cause sickness,
one Of the officials said yesterday.
"In schools where We burn hard
COAL" said Hugh F. McQueeny,
superintendent of janitors, I'VE take
the greatest pains to see that no coal
Ia wasted. The majority of our
schools burn soft coal 30 there is nc
ashes to sift."
1t is thought probably that the Fuel
ADMINISTRATOR request will be
turned down, as 1t is said the school
system has enough coal to last until
the war weather and they rather
regard the proposal as useless.

SHOWS
SERIOUS QUALITIES
Former Infant Prodigy in Recital
Demonstrates Felicity.

At the National yesterday. the pian-
iste. Ethel Leginska, showed pride
that she has emerged from the in
fant prodigy class and ranks with
the really great piano-forte virtuosi.
In her recital she gave, prodigally,
program of serious intent and some
novelty, playing with spontaneity,
deep expressiveness and much fe-
l!city.
She began with the Paradies Son.
alta in D major, and played it with
exquisite appreciation of its delicacy
and symmetry. Then followed two
numbers by Scarlatti-a pastoraIe and
capriccio. These numbers evoked
such enthusiasm. the young artistic
responded with the well-known Cam
panellO of Liszt. That eminent critic
and phrase-maker, James HaYeksp
says no woman can play CHOPIN.
But he said it while Leginska was
doing five-fnger exercises. This
young lady has a temperament and
technique particularly fitted to inter-
pret Chopin. and her audience drank
delightedly the delicate beauty of
CrOpin's Etude in f major. and the
pompous Polonaise, Opus 10, No. 1.
She then gave her most ambitious
number-Liszt's rarely-played Sonata
in b Minor, which she considers
her best and most difficult concert
number. The Etude for Left Hand,
of Rubinstein. which followed, is
well-known. and a brilliant Fantasie
OF Balakirew found favor, winning
an encore. This was another Liszt
number-the Eighth Rhapsody-and
one of the least familiar.
This recital was the fourth per-
fOrmance in the Star Series.

at Ypres or Cambria. Already the
latter place is the scene of the heav-
lest enemy attacks. and Byngs in
road into the Hindenburg line has
been considerably flattened.
Upon whether Hindenburg and his
satellite. Prince Rupprecht, intend a
rectifiCation of their positions in
Flanders, depends almost entirely
the possibility of a big enemy at
tack on the British positions around
PassChendaele.
Haig's work of the summer and fall
is almost complete. and indisputably
valuable high ground Is almost en-
tirely in his possession.
The enemy's positions, therefore,
while not rendered untenable, are
made exceedingly undesirable. and If
the Germans are not convinced of this
HaiS certainly will demonstrate it
when the ground dries next spring.
II the enemy contemplates a with
drawal to some new line it won't be
necessary to attack the British posi-
ton around Ypres. If he intends to
hold the present line it seems newt
able he will attempt to regain the high
ground. 1t is also not unlikely the
Germans will try to break the en-
velopment of Lens The Cambrai
salient position is somewhat different,
as German counter attacks of the past
week definitely placed the Drocourth-
Queant switch line out of danger. and
any possibility of a British "break
through" or of Byng turning a por-
ton of the Siegfried line Is now re-
moved. unless a further British ad-
vance is made first

employees merely as instrumentalitles
to pile up a larger money surplus. He
personally lobbied against their small
wage increase at the last session OF
Congress and succeeded in excluding
his employees from the raises that
Congress voted to other government
workers. And now because the en-
ployes have the temerity to suggest
that their decade-old wage standard
Is inadequate he reminds them that
they are getting three times the wage
Of the soldiers in the trenches.
Says Morale IL Shattered.
"Mr. Burleson wants Congress to
repeal the legislation granting the
employees the right to petition Con-
gress directly. 1t is a known fact
that he Is almost daily at the Capt.
tol in behalf of legislation in which
the administration is interested. He
would deny to the humble letter
carriers and postal clerks the right
he so fraAlp o~1rcfses himself. This
Is the Prussian idea of democracy.
1t is not in accord with the thought
of President Wilson, as expressed
in his recent Buffalo speech. 1t is
not good for one man to have the
floor to himself A Burlesonized post
al service would mean industrial dis
franchisement for a quarter of a
million wage earners.
THE aims of the postal organiza-
tions are not selfish. as Mr.. Burle-
son states. What reforms we have
erected have benefited the service
and the public. Experience has shown
us the futility Of expecting the de-
partment to cooperate in making
working conditions better. In fact,
our recent legislative activities have
oeen confined to holding beneficial
legislative barriers which Mr.. Bur-
leson, in his zeal for economy, would
sweep away. It took the postofice
clerks a quarter OF a century to get
their eight-hour and weekly rest law,
and twenty years to get a wage clas-
sihcation law. This law Is now ten
year old.
we have no law to protect the
aged, worn workers from demotion
and dismissal. no law granting a
time or wage differential for night
work, no sick leave, and no Sat-
urday half holidays.
The Burleson claim that the post
al employees are a privileged class
Is unwarranted. II the employment
is so desirable why are thousands
OF men quitting to accept work in
private industries? Why is it i'm
possible to keep the working force
recruited to its proper strength?
The service today is badly de-
moralized and the morale OF the
working force is shattered beyond
repair, due to the oppressive labor
policy Of the Postmaster General"

AWAIT HUNS ATTACK
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE

Italian front, as 1t now stands. IS
none too safe from flank and frontal
attack that might bring disastrous
results, but the stiffening of the de-
tense today, in the face Of the in
vaders' numerical superiority. is taken
as an encouraging sign in allied
quarters.
The battle for Monte Sisemol de-
veloped into one of the most ferocious
combats of the whole offensive. The
Teutons at this point concentrated
their entire strength in one prodi-
gious effort to break the Italian lines
and smash through south of Gallo to
the Venetian Plains.
Violent artillery preparation pre-
ceded the main assault, which extend
ed from north Of Ronchi Valley to
Monte Kaberlabe, a distance Of about
four miles. The main Italian forces.
infantry and artillery, were in the act
Of withdrawing to their new line west
Of the Meletta district when the blow
fell. Disaster appears to have been
STAYED of completely by the heroic de-
fense of the Fourth Bersaglieri Bri-
gade on Monte Sisemol. on which the
southern wing OF the original line was
anchored. .

BY. new RUSH
Volunteers Show Increase
at Capital Recruiting

The rush for enlistment in all

n from the main recruiting station Of
the Marine Corps, 407 Star building.
So pronounced has the activity be-
come that it has been found necessary
to hold night sessions at both the
army and navy recruiting stations in
order to accommodate those unable
to be on hand during office hours in
the various governmental depart
ments.
OF the IS enlistments recorded with
in the past two days at the army re-
cruiting station, TO were from this
city and the balance froA different
sections OF the country. Most of the
latter came from nearby points. al
though one gave Los Angeles, Cal,
as his home address.
The War Department has sent the
following telegram for the guidance
Of all recruiting stations:
Between now and December Is
il is desired to afford registrants as
wide an opportunity as possible to
enlist in both the army and navy.
Therefore, any registrant, even
though he has been called by his To-
cal board to report for physical ex-
animation, may enlist until Decem-
Der IS, upon presentation to the re-
cruiting officer of a certificate from
his local board that he will not be
needed to fill any deferred percentage
of the quota of the board.
Regardless OF denomination of
registrants under new regulations,
each board should keep available and
should refuse permission to enlist to
sufficient number of selected men to
complete deferred percentages of their
quotas"
