FEAR A SHORTAGE
But Coal Administrator Has
Plan To Cope With 1t.
Would Probate Supply by
States-OhiO Hardest Hit.

Washington, Oct. 1O.-The possibiI-
ity of coal shortage this winter was
admitted by Field Administrator Gar
field today for the first time.
To cope with the situation he an
nounced a plan for pro-rating the
country's fuel supply among the states,
including Canada's imports from this
country on the same basis.
Emergency shortages, now flooding
the fuel administration, will be met
from 100000 tons of uncontrolled
for free coal located by Garfield.
Relief for Ohio, where the worst
conditions exist, is in prospect thru
diverting some of the domestic prior
ity coal for the northwest now passing
thru the states to the lakes. The
American northwest will be properly
supplied, was Garfield's assurance.
Coal production this year will ex-
ceed that of last year by 10 per cent, -
he said. THE question of shortage
will depend upon whether the demand
has increased by more than this"

Plot Destruction of U. s. Fac
tories, Canadian r. r..

Washington, Oct. -10.-Germany's
general staff sin furtherance of its
campaign of world domination, sought
ir 1915 to have the Canadian Pacific
railway wrecked at several points
Again it plotted sabotage in the United
States and Canada which would ruin
factories supplying munitions of war
These two new points in Germanys s
ruthless system of intrigue were
brought to light today by the state de-
partment in correspondence forward
ed to the TeutOn envoy BernStorff in
January, 1916.
Ar the same time the department
published a third telegram Bernstorff
sent his foreign office in September.

ference. planning to sway congress to
the side of Germany, needed further
support"

The first two messages show that
the Irish traitor, Sir Roger Easement,
provided the names of men who could
give information on the sabotage sub
ject-including jeremiah O'Leary,
Irish propagandist, whose name has
appeared several times in recent ex-
poses.
The German embassy was ordered

wrecked early in 1916.

The disclosures today perhaps ex
plain the very caustic reply Presiden
Wilson made to O'Leary on Septem
Der %, 1916. O'Leary had telegraphe,
the president that he would not vot
for him. The president replied:

Cold and gray they appeared, re-

their slim heads from the huge stands
and flung Old Glory to the breeze,

morning it was decided to enter
tain in some way for the drafted
men before they take the train
Friday noon. F. r. Lobdell,
president of the Commercial
Club, was authorized to appoint
committee on arrangements
and he appointed VIM. M. Smith,

of talks will be given at the din
ner, the band will play in honor

chartered to take the boys to
the depot at North Redwood.
Funds have already been solicit
ted and there is little doubt that
the boys will be given a rousing
farewell that will show them how
thoroughly in sympathy with
their cause the home folks are.
