COAL FAMINE

Poor Families Seek Fuel in
Vain as Pneumonia
Increases.

New York. Dec. 15.-New York is
burning its last lump of coal. Famine
faces the city unless immediate re-
lief is forthcoming. Little hope was
given by Federal Fuel Administrator

of supplying the city over to Albert h

More than l25 schools will be forced
to close within a few days unless re-
lief is received. Special arrangements
are being made to furnish hospitals
with enough to warm the buildings
out of the rapidly dwindling supply
on hand.
Thousands of poor families, depen-
dent entirely upon day-to-day sup
plies, were refused coal today and
suffering from the cold is increasing.
Appeals to dealers went unanswered
all day and scores of downtown busi-
ness buildings and apartment houses
will be in serious plight if the ia
mine continues.
Big Pneumonia Increase.
A force of men was sent to New
Jersey terminals. where it is reported
that there are thousands of tons of
coal originally intended for New
York loaded On cars which are frozen
to the siding. 1t is hoped that this
supply, or a part of it. will reach
here tomorrow, but that will only
partly relieve the situation.
Two hundred and sixty-three deaths
caused by pneumonia were reported

with the country which is fighting
for ideals and not territorial aggran-
dizement. There are two points made
in all German editorials and both
covered in the following extract from
the Muencnener Neueste Nachrich-
ten:
President Wilson's attempt to
draw the line between the German
autocratic government and the peace
full German people is hypocritical.
His assertion that America is fight
ing for emancipation of Germany is
grotesque untruth. His accusa-
ton that the rulers of Germany have
destroyed the peace of the world is
rash in the face of the disclosures
of the Russian secret documents"
Austrian Comment.
Some Austrian comment is extreme
ly bitter, especially that of the vi
emma Neue Freie Presses:
President Wilson's speech pretends
to be a ray of hope at this critical
time in the entente policy, but it is a
bluff. His speech under a cloak of
virtue is full of disgusting insults to
Germany and of contradictions. His
demand that the war shall not end
with acts of vengeaace is pure irony.
as he speaks in the same breath OF
the exclusion Of the German people
from the society of nations.
''If America wants to liberate some
thing let it liberate its allies from it's
own domination and liberate itself
from autocratic Wilson, who is worse
than any European prince.
THE mutual respect Of Germany
and Austria for each other cannot be
changed. The statement of Count
Czernin, Austrian minister of foreign
affairs. that monarchy fights for
