u. s. COMMISSION WORRIED
OVER SHORT COAL SUPPLY

WASHINGTON, oct s. -- Unseasonably
cold weather throughout most Of the United
States today increased the problem Of the
Federal Goa Commission. Complaints from
various sections of the country continue TO
pour In declaring that coal cannot be pur-
chased. Right here in Washington the coal
dealers openly declare that they cannot M
their orders, as they are unable to get coal
from the mines. This too, in the face of
the positive declaration by Doctor Garfsl |
that there is no coal shortage"
officials admittedly were considerabl
troubled. They fear that the new plan OF
Cual distribution will fail. But they refuse
10 make any statement to this effect at this
time, insisting that the plans of Doctor
Garfield should have a fair test
Advces reaching individuals here indi-
cate that the great difficulty now In the way
of securing a complete supply Of coal is
the shortage of labor. Experienced miners
find that they can make mere money with
far less risk working in other lines. SO
far suggested wage advances are held up.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN THE
FIELD. oct s.
Germanys military chiefs. for the first
time In the war are beginning to talk about
economlzing the nations human material. .
German army orders, signed by Quarter
master General Ludendorff, have recently
been taken from prisoners, emphasizing the
need for this economy.
Heretofore, economy orders" captured
on prisoners dealt only with the importance
OF not wasting shells, munitions and other
material supplies. Even in the present or
der Ludendorff, while still placing the ut
most Importance upon economy of shells,
comedies now that economy OF lives Is more
Important and must hereafter take first
place.
LUDENDoRFF's ORDER
Ludendorff's order, translated from the
copy taken on a German prisoner declares
The consumption of munitions has re-
mained constantly very high recently on
the hghting front in spite of the fact
that the combatlve activity has generally
diminished tNote--The order was ap-
parently issued very early in September
before the British drive In Flanders In
particular the consumption of shells for
mortars and heavy field howitZers is
much greater than the production.
This is serious. However, the superior
direction Of the army cannot issue a new
general order for further restriction in
consumption Of munitions, because our
losses on all the fighting fronts continue
to be very high and could become even
higher II further general restrictions
we're made, Economy in men is even
more important than economy in NUM-
tions.

June 1S.--After having been virtually
driven from the air during the battle
of Messines, the German air forces

of the last few days have found as
many as from seventy to eighty ma

have occurred well inside German ter

from the British lines. The pilots en-
gagged found the fighting so heavy that
they had no time to reckon the losses

BECOMING A 'D0DGER'
Tax "Slackers" Must Pay the
Penalty for Delays After
Tomorrow.

Two days of grace will be given de-
linquent taxpayers of Tulsa county,
according to announcement made yea
terday morning by Ed Dalton. county
treasurer. The time limit for pay
ment of 1917 personal and real taxes
was set at June 16 but owing to the
deluge OF mail which will keep the

Mr.. Dalton will allow the time limit
to be postponed.
Today or tomorrow undoubtedly

official bulletin. Thereafter all taxes
will be suject to a penalty of " per
cent per month or is per cent per
year.
County officials are much pleasec
at the way payments have been COM
ing in at the treasurer's office. More
than 100000 of taxes were RENTED
Saturday, which was supposed TO
have been the last day without PEN
atty. This was the second largest day
in the treasurer's office for more than
u year.
The entire taxation OF Tulsa county
amounts to about one and three
quarter million dollars and fully 20
per cent Of this amount has been paid
In at the present time. 1t is evident,
then. that unless records are broken
today, 25 per cent of the assessments
will bear penalties for non-payment.
