With the gas pressure low and
not single coal dealer with any
coal on hand, many people in this
city, unless the condition is reliev-
Ell quickly, viii soon be suffering.
A representative of this paper Wars
informed that orders had been plac-
ed for many weeks, in fact, some
dealers have standing orders for a
certain number of cars per month
beginning early in the fall, but
owing to the car shortage, ETC., it
has been impossible to secure same,
although it is reported several cars
are in transit.
On Monday morning this paper
wired Hon. Wiley B. Bryan, State
Fuel Administrator, as follows:
at is imperative that immed-
late. steps be taken to relieve coal
famine here Not a bushel in the
yards. Gas pressure low"
LATER-Mr. l. F. Tabb, the To-
cal coal dealer, secured one ear of
coal late Monday and is distribut-
ing same. Mr.. Tabb and the other
dealers are making every effort to
relieve the situation.
c. & 0. Agent J. C. McNeal call
ed the Yard Master at Ashland and
has his promise Of getting four
ears out Of the yards there that
are billed to this city. at the earliest
possible moment.

today from the Federal Fuel Ad-
ministrator:

Gentlemen:
"On receipt of your telegram, we

send in report from the dealers,
indicating the amount of coal order
ed, and from whom.
"Upon receipt of this information,
this Office will use it's best efforts
towards securing relief for Mt Ster-

available.

situation, at the earliest possible
moment.

men at the Front

With the American Army in
France, Nov. 15.-'There have been
further encounters between Amer
lean patrols and Germans in No
Mans Land. Last night there were
a number of clashes but the night
was dark and shomery and the fir
ing was most at a distance. There
were no American casualties.
The Germans placed machine guns
in several craters and sprayed
streams of bullets on our communi-
eating trenches. The American ar
tillery hurled shells from 75's at the
positions and silenced. the enemy.
American patrols have worked up
the German wire entanglements. The
artillery fire day and night continues
lively.

Nabbed in Highway Net

Twenty-one motorists have been
arrested on the state highway be-
tween PaXtang and Rutherford, it
was announced to-day. In some cases
the drivers has been exceeding sixty
miles an hour. The license numbers
of autoists were taken by Corporal

ly arranged stretch of road be-
tween PaXtang and Rutherford. No
tice was served on the offenders, four
of whom drove automobiles, and
seventeen drove motorcycles. The
minimum fine in such cases is $40.
Seven of the offenders have paid
their fines. Those who do not pay
before November 30 will be arrested
and brought before Alderman Nicho-
las.
The above arrests are part of a
campaign to put an end to reckless

have been numerous complaints re-
ceived by the State Highway De-
partment from residents living along
state roads in the vicinity of Har-
risburg against drivers of motorcars
and motorcycles for speeding and
racing. The stretch of road between
Harrisburg and Rutherford has been
a particularly favOrite place for the
speedsters, and residents along Tlis
road, and ether drivers who use it.
have filed a petition requesting the
Highway Department to put an end
to the dangerous practice.

Inspector of Weights and
Measures Warns of Com
ing Prosecutions

In prosecuting a woman on the
charge of giving short weight when
she sold lard last Saturday in the
Broad street market, Harry D. Reel,
city inspector of weights and meas
ures, Issued warning to all per-
sons making purchases of commo-
dities sold IN small paper or wooden
pans that the weight of the con-
tainet should not be included in
the net weight of the food product
which is bought.
Frequently I have had reports
of dealers, the customers stating
they were sure they had been given
short weight" Inspector Reel said.
Persons who purchase one pound
of butter, lard or a similar com
modify sold in a paper or wooden
container should get sixteen ounces
of lard, and not fifteen ounces of
lard and an ounce or fraction of an
ounce of wood or paper. 1 in

"Housekeepers should be on their

TIRED But NOT
DISCOURAGED

Miles of Troops Coming
and Going to Front

Italian Headquarters in Northern
Italy, Wednesday, Nov. 14.-The
Italian general staff gave the first
opportunity to-day to see the Piave
battlefront and the correspondent
was among the first four civilians
authorized to take the trip. 1t came
at an opportune moment when the
enemy had succeeded in getting small
parties across the river at two points
and when the holding or breaking
of the Piave line promised to bring
the whole issue into the balance for
Italy, and. to some extent, for the
entire entente.
An officer from the headquarters
staff, was in charge of the party.
which gave it free access through the
rear lines to the Piave, where the
chief points along the thirty miles
of front were visible and a view OBJ
tanned of the whole range of the
gigantic operations.
Some ten miles back from the river
the correspondent passed through
solid miles of troops coming and go
ing to the front. Those going to the
rear were mud-covered and tired but
not disheartened. Those going for
