GASSUPPLY IN
BERLIN HALVED
Due to Coal Shortage-Hot
Water at Fixed Hours 3
Days a Week.

CoPENHAGEN, Aug. 16.-New gas
regulations have been issued in Berlin
which virtually put ordinary consumers
of gas on half measure from now on.
The new orders are made necessary be-
cause Of the inability Of the gas works
TO obtain coal. Similar measures are
impending throughout the empire.
Announcement OF the new orders un-
loosed storm OF indignation. Berlin
newspapers demand to know how home
life will be possible with the supply OF
coal reduced so greatly.
According to the newspapers. the
minimum hot water supply In homes II
limited to certain hours three days q
week and the use of alcohol and kero
sene for cooking purposes Is prohibited
No substitute lighting methods are avail
able and now the use Of gas for cooking
virtually 10 barred. Indications In thu
papers are that the outburst of indigna
tion Is not unwefcome TO the imperia
commissioner OF gas and electricity ant
the municipalities. who charge that Goa
is being KEEP. at the mines to manufac
ture briQuettes.
A humorous side Is added by an
nouncement OF the suspension OF lecture
on modes Of preserving fruits an,
vecetables because no way is known Y
cooking or preserving without fire."
The gas works at Hamburg now sup
piles gas only between the hours of l
O'Clock and noon.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 16.-The coal sit
uation has reached a crisis in which
President Wilson is expected to inter-
President within. the next few days will
issue an executive order authorizing the
Federal Trade Commission to fix prices
Of coal and to regulate its production
sale and distribution.
The crisis has been brought about by
the positive refusal. it is believed. OF
many OF the large coal producers to
submit to Government price dictation.
Efforts have been made at meetings held
IN Chicago and elsewhere to adjust the
situation, but these have failed. 1t Is
understood many of tho large producers
have taken the position that with the
demand for coal so great as 1t is they
are entitled to get what they can for il.
In the meantime complaints are pour
ing in upon the Government departments
OF the effect this attitude is having on
the work In turning out Government
supplies one contractor for the Navy
Department complained that. whereas
the market price appeared to be 1880
for coal, when he tried to make con-
tract Tor SuInCleHl todl W luiH out tH'
work he had in hand for the navy he
was held up for $3.50 advance over this
price.
He has informed the Navy Depart
ment that such a price for coal was
practically ruinous. This Is merely q
sample OF complaints daily reaching
I government departments.
1 The Council Of National Defence haG
a protracted meeting to-day and Is un.

KINGDOM GOULD IN U. S. ARMY
Becomes Member by Failing Z,
File Exemption Plea.

Kingdom Gould, who gave notice at
the time OF his call for the selective
draft army that he would claim exemp-
ton, has changed his mind and Is now
a regular member Of the national army.
He achieved this dignity yesterday by
the automatic process OF the draft law.
When Mr.. Gould came along for regis
tration In the first instance. with the
odor OF the orange blossoms still fresh,
he gave notice that he would call for
his discharge upon the ground that he
was the sole support Of a dependent
wife.
The law required that he follow his
original claim with three affida vits--one
by himself one to be made by his wife
and third by a disinterested person
who could testify to the fact that a de
pendent wife really stood between the
young man and the colors.
The local board at Toms River. N. j.
waited yesterday for the three affidavits
to come along, Noon was the limit OF
time for their filing. When noon ar.
rived without any legal documents rep
resenting the Gould claim he went auto,
matically to the available list
