strongly for the benefit of mankind
against the evil power OF Uranus.
This persistently menacing sway
Of Uranus is read as giving warning
Of the use of explosives in every
possible manner likely TO destroy
human life.
For months the seers have prog
nostcated that as the year declined
the malefic power of Uranus would
become more active toward the
United States.
In the balance hang the fortunes
Of war and astrologers who have
not often failed in their prophesies
predict peace, but if the final agi-
tation of the year is not successful.
then long war must be carried on.

lie began by explaining the system
of communicating trenches that
connect the first line with those

related was one he had while he
was still in the infantry
we were rather hard pressed
up in the first line. ana it was de-
cided that some one must carry a
message through the communicat
ing trenches To headquarters. All
the officers volunteered for the ser
vice. Four of US were chosen by

To take different routes through the

THOSE COAL CONTRACTS.

The public local and otherwise, would like TO know
alleged contracts that prevent coal
operators and dealers from selling fuel fair price
those who need it.
Ever since the presidents proclamation establishing
he price of coal the mines communities firms and
Individuals have been trying buy fuel at rates based
n that price very few have they succeeded
Producers dealers maintained prices at the old
eveI or even raised them, pleading that they were
pound by contracts made before the proclamation was
ssued and that they the until those
contracts expire. Many dealers have announced, with
svident that their contracts have several
months to yet.
This is an ntolerable situation. Tn view Of the
linlity with which the contract excuse given, the
public naturally suspects that of the producers
,d distributors are acting good fahthat these
contracts if they exist all, have been trumped up
lfter issuance the government proclamation in
,rder TO let industry reap exorbitant
1roht than ever on the coal supply. And
even where contracts exist that made in good
aith is there any legitimate why they should
,e carried out literally the detrment Of the country?
What is there TO prevent the parties to any such
contract canceIling by mutual agreement? If the
operators and dealers are disposed to be fair and
patriotic why do they settle the matter in this
way? such solution would involve loss but only
he surrender of excessive profits for the future
II the men and that still gouging the
public and gOdung over tnelr strategic Will
not adopt simple policy justice and humanity
they will have dealt with sterny. The govern
itself has sufficient police power TO aside any
contracts found inimical to the public welfare and
safety crisis like this It abrOgate coal con
tracts abrogated shipbuildng contracts. The
government has promised announce scale of
fair prices to consumers is to be hoped that the
fuel administration and the department OF justice are
ready 10 take any measures necessary make the

Germany and Austria proceeding to carry
out their promise of a year and establish Poland
as an independent They have issued letters

plan.
As described by an Associated Press dispatch from
Berlin the government is to be constitutional mon

That is excellent enough-in theory We find how

will represent crown These regents will
