ISSUE AN APPEAL TO
ALL GERMAN AMERICANS
Friends Of German Democracy
Urge Them to Help America
Win The War.
(By Associated presa.l

New York, Dec. 1s.-An appeal to
American citizens of German birth
and descent to join its campaign fog
helping the United States win the
war, was made public today by the
executive committee of the Friends
Of German Democracy. Franz ZigeI,
son OF General Franz ZiRel OF Civil
war fame, is president OF the organi-
zation.
This war is not war on the part
Of America against the German ma
ton, the appeal stated. 1T is rath-
er 4 war against a peculiar systerS OF
society and government. This sys-
tenn of society and of government
unhappily dominates the German
people To their own and the worlds
undoing".
The committee declared that "a
majority of the German people, IL
properly informed about their own
government and its misdeeds, will
not wait until tho German nation is
completely crushed by force OF
arms, but will sooner or later rise
against the Kaiser and the junkers
and establish a democratic govern
ment in Germany.

New York, Dec. 19.-CoaI short
ages in various parts Of the country
cannot fairly be attributed alto
gether to lack Of transportation" said
q statement issued here last night
by Fairfax Harrison, chairman of
the railroads war board. The prob
lem Is primarily one of distribution,
the statement declared.
Figures showing that the railroads
Of the country had hauled approx
mately 81, 900, 900 tons more coal from
April to November, inclusive. than
they did in the same period last
year, were contained in the state
ment
THE railroads have not been able
at all times to carry all the coal
that could be offered to them for
movement" the statement said, "but
has any other industry responded
more efficiently to the demands
created by the war than these stats
tics regarding coal transportation
show the railroads have?"
