POOLING IS
KEY To COAL
FAMINE CURE

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. %
Pooling-that's the solution to the
coal shortage resulting from slow rail-
way transportation.
So said Fuel Administrator Harry
Garfield today, after he had read the
result of an investigation made in
Ohio, showing how a coal car acts
while carrying fuel from the mine
TO the consumer and back again to
the mine.
Transportation Is the main key to
the coal situation," said Garfield.
The investigation in Ohio showed
that it took Pennsylvania coal car
No. 174,967 just twentythree days,
two hours and thirty minutes to go
from a Jefferson coal mine to Cleve-
land, deposit it's cargo and return
empty to a mine in Guernsey county.
268 miles.
Pooling would wipe out this condi-
ton, it was pointed out by simplify
ing terminal conditions; by eliminat-
ing cross-switching; by preventing re-
consignment of coal; by expediting
loading and delivery and by releasing
coal sars quickly to return to the
mines.
LAS it is now" said Garfield, "a
dealer orders a car of coal Of certain
grade from a certain mine. A train
has to be cut and all kinds of time
killing switching done while these
particular cars are located, cut out
and put on sidings.
I'm pooling it will be necessary to
recognize few general grades of coal
and give the buyer the grade he or
dered, the quickest and easiest way
We can. He might get it from any
mine.
by pooling cars a railroad will
haul its own or its competitors cars
without distinction; trackage pooling
will cut out the long haul where a
short haul would serve as well and
congested yards of one road will not
tie up traffic on another"

DRAFT AGE LIMIT MAY
Be LOWERED SOMEWHAT

Washington, Nov. 23.-The first off,
cial admission that the draft law may
be amended and that plan is being
considered for calling u2on youths
down to eighteen years Of age was
made by Provost Marshal General
Crowder In circular letter addressed
to the local and district boards Gen
eral Crowder said:
"In Glass w. we find the men we
shall take as last resort. Before that
class is reached it is perfectly safe to
say that by the addition Of other
classes as to age, say those who have
attained twenty-one since registration
day, and perhaps adding the classes OF
eighteen and nineteen and twenty
years old, we shall have included two
or three million men in our available
list and thus have saved Class ""
Summarizes Lessons Learned.
In summarizing the lessons learned
in the last few months he says:
whether Germany has taught us or
whether we have learned 1t ourselves,
we know one thing SO clearly and so
we'll that we will never again have
doubt of 1t. The volunteer method Of
raising an army for war is gone. 1t
will never return.
''The principle of selection has been
tried and proved by our people. 1 am
led to believe that they approve it
with substantial unanimity. II it is
good for this time of peril 1t is good
for all future emergencies The won
der is that people so devoted to busi-
ness efficiency should have hesitated
to adopt it,
The letter makes 1t clear agricul-
tural and Industrial labor will not be
spared in the draft, although every
effort will be made to tighten the bur
den upon the farms and workshops.
General Crowder explains the segre-
cation OF men into classes thus:
"The selective principle must be
carried to it's logical conclusion. We
must meet Prussian effectiveness.
We must consider the circumstances
Of all registrants. We must arrange
them in the order in which they can
be taken with the least disturbance,
and thus place behind our battle lines
sources of recruitment that will fur
nish men as they are needed.
UnskiIIed Labor Affected.
I'm Glass l we shall then have, in
every community immediately avail
able for military service single men
and a few married men whose re-
moval will not disturb the reasonably
adequate support OF their dependents.
"In Glass II we find men who can be
taken without disturbing the support
of any dependent, and, if the necessity
Of drawing on Glass II arrives, we
must demand even from agriculture
and industry an adjustment to replace
a small percentage Of skilled labor af-
fected by the draft-men.
Should the pinch of military neces-
sity increase beyond Class II, 1t
would mean that the nation would
have to begin to commit itself to hard
ship and to an adjustment in agricul-
ture and industry to meet the pS,r
mount necessity"

TRAINS IN CRASH
NEAR MATAWAN
No Injuries Reported When One
Train Backs Into Another
Wreck Delays Traffic.
~ Special Correspondent.

MATAWAN, Nov. ga collision
between an extra freight train No.
352, and a Freehold and Atlantic
Highlands passenger train No. 226,
about o'clock last night tied up the
sounth bound track of the New York
and Long Barnch railroad, a short
distance below south of Matawan sta
ton, until early this morning.
The wreck was caused by the en-
gineers Of the trains mistaking the
signal given by the towerman at the
junction of the Central railroad and
the New York and Long Branch
tracks. The Freehold train was back
ing to the "Y' to turn around for an
was waiting for the clear signal to
proceed on its way to the shore. The
signal at this point opens two tracks,
the one on which the Freehold train
was backing and the track on which
the freight train was waiting, as the
board showed clear both engineers
taking the signal for hi strain, started
their engines with the result that
both trains came together at the
switch where the two tracks join. The
freight engine struck the passenger
train squarely between the two coach
es, throwing them from the track
and leaning one over on the south
bound track so that the main line
trains to the shore could not pass.
A wrecking crew from Elizabeth
port was soon at the scene of the
accident but did not succeed in open
ing the tracks until early this morn
ing. All south bound trains were run
to the station, then forced to switch
back to the north bound track and
run past the wreck IN this way.
The Freehold train had just emp
ties its passengers at the station and
was proceeding around what is
known as the Y when the accident
happened. This accounts for the
fact that no one was injured.

M1neola, N. Y, Nov. 23.-When Mrs
Blanca De Saulles !phoned to the
home of her former husband, John l..
De Saulles, shortly before she shot and
killed the ex-football star and society
leader, her first question was
where is little Jack?" This was
established when julius Hademek,
valet of De Saulles, took the witness
stand in the trial Of the Chilean
beauty before Justice Manning in the
Supreme Court after District Attorney
Weeks had finished his preliminary
outline of the case to the jury.
The state held that Mrs. De Saulles
knew that De Saulles was at his home
on the night of the tragedy and that
she went there, armed, with the ex-
pectation Of meeting him. The de-
fense claimed that Mrs. De Saulles
did not know that her former husband
was at home and went to the house
with the sole purpose Of taking little
Jack back to her home.
The defense has already scored two
points. The first is outlined above
The second was that Immediately fol-
lowing the shooting, which was heard
by the valet as he hurried back from
answering the phone, Marshall Ward
was not seen either in the living room
or the hallway by the witness (Hade-
mek). By this second admission the
defense hopes to discredit partially
the testimony of Ward, who was called
as the first witness for the state to
day.

WOmen's Work
For Red Cross

About two hundred enthusiastic
high school girls met yesterday after
noon in that building with Mrs.
Adrian Lyon, Cooperative Depart
ment chairman of the Red Cross
Chapter, and formed a high school
knitting, making surgical dressings
and giving personal service, such as
doing Red Cross errands.
This auxiliary has ben granted use
of room on the upper floor of the
high school and the adjoining sewing
room which is equipped with tables
and sewing machines. The quarters
are ideal for such work.
The officers chosen were Miss Rose
Mccormick, chairman; Miss Alice
Sterling, secretary, and Miss Gertrude
Bloomingdale, treasurer.
Distribution of wool was begun to-
day and will continue Monday. Sur
gical dressings classes will be organ
lied to begin work Monday, Decem-
Der 3. 1t was thought best to defer
this work until after the Thanksgiv-
ing recess.
The introduction of the high school
girls into active Red Cross work is
| especially gratifying to the local
| chapter, as their youthful energy and
ready enthusiasm are much appre-
ciated.
The Roosevelt Red Cross branch
now numbers $40 members and has
/ applied for a charter to organize an
+ Independent chapter. A large amount
of work, both in knitting and in sur
gical dressings, has been done by this
branch.
The Catholic Auxiliary, now num-
bering about fifty members, had an
enthusiastic meeting Wednesday eve
ming, at which four pairs of socks and
several sweaters helmets and wrist
let's were delivered by the makers.
Some very excellent knitting is being
done by this auxiliary but it has been
hampered by lack of wool. This
situation is now relieved by arrival
of large supply of yarn.
Miss Florence Donegan is knitting
chairman and Mrs. Harry Neal has
charge of the distribution of hospital
garments to be made outside the
workroom. Several have been COM
pleted. One member has volunteered
to make two pairs of pajamas each
week at home
iary are giving concentrated support
at the workroom. In all lines of ac-
tivity this young branch of the local
Red Cross is fast becoming an eff
cient factor.
Mrs. Adrian Lyon will be the in
structor this evening at Red Cross
headquarters in the Elks Home of
surgical dressings class which has
been requested by colored women.
She will be assisted by Mrs. Martin
Newcomer, Mrs. John Sofeld and
Mrs. Charles Barnekov, Jr. Anyone
wishing to join this class should be
at the workroom by 1880. Bring
apron and head covering, notebook
and pencil. yard of lawn with one
inch hem makes a good head dress.
