U. s. WILL STORE
COAL TO AVERT
FUEL SHORTAGE
Government Requisitions Ten
Per Cent Of Every Mines
Output to Avert a Coal
Famine in Future.
nv Associated Press,

Washington, Nov. 5.-An order re-
QUESTIONING for the government II
per cent of the output of virtually ev.
cry coal mine in this country will be
issued by the fuel administration
probably tomorrow. The coal will be
distributed by the government to
meet emergency requirments wher'
ever they may arise.
Consumption is keeping pace SC
closely with production that many
parts of the country are feeling the
pinch of coal shortage. Industries
essential to the public welfare in
many cities face the prospect of clos
ing down and thousands of house
holders have found it impossible to
purchase winters supply of fuel.
Spot Coal for Emergencies.
The fuel administration has met
the situation as best it could by or
dering individual mines to supply
emergency needs, but it has been de-
cIded that government pile of "spot
coal" will best serve the purpose.
Operators will be directed to trim
contracts generally to furnish the 10
per cent. 1t Is likely that instructions
will accompany the order directing
producers to reduce first the contracts
OF concerns whose output is not re-
quired either for war purposes of for
domestic requirements.
Within a short time the fuel admin
istration will classify all industries in
teh order of their importance and will
direct that they be supplied with coal
according to their classification. Es-
sential industries and householders
will be classed under the heading "A"
and others will be rated as in the opin-
ion Of the government, they should be
supplied.
The fuel administration has re-
ceived from the federal trade COM
missions estimates on cost of produc-
ing fuel oil and gasoline and will an
nounce soon the measure OF control
it will assume over all production and

Food Pledges
Were Signed by
Ten Million

Washington, Nov. 5.-With a cer-
tainty that 100000 families have
signed the food conservation pledge,
the food administration today started
the second week of the nationwide
enrolment campaign. In a score OF
states a single week was insufficient
for the immense task of visiting
every house individually. ~
The food administration points out
that with the cooperation of half the
families of the United States in its
plan of food substitution as a means
of supplying the allies with the
wheat, meat, fats and sugar that
America must furnish, the results
will be far more tangible than most
people have realized. If half the
American people save loaf Of wheat
bread week, that alone would re-
lease 50,000000 loaves of wheat bread
a week, with no disturbance of Amer
ican convenience or economic condi-
tons worth mentioning. Translated
into terms of money, that would ap.
proach $5,000000 a week, released
for food export to Europe, '.,

Please tell US when the army of
Macedonia will be sufficiently strong

Emperor William replied to his sis
ter as follows:
Il thank you cordially for your
telegram, which has caused me deep
emotion. l know the dangers through
which you and Tino have passed. I
admire your courage at this difficult
time.
Il also note with pleasure the mag
nifcent attitude of the army and

God deliver you from your horrible
position.
The entente once more has shown
Its hand, and nothing remains for
Tino to do but to take open action
against these brutes. The irterven-
ton of Tino, with his forces COOP
Grating against Sarraips western flank,
would bring about decision in Mace

Situation Most Grave.
(Ry Associated PreasN

Italy's situation appears increasing
iy grave today, with the announce
ment from Rome that the gTaglia-
mento river, west of which. General
Cadorna had established his new line
atter. the great retreat from the
lsonzo, had been crossed by the
Austro-G German invaders.
I The crossing Of the river appar-
emily has not yet been in sufficient
force to compel Cadorria to decide
upon abandonment of the Taglia-
mento line. but the Teutonic COM
nander undoubtedly. will make the
most of the opening he has forced to
debough against the Italian positions
north and south of the point where
he has gained footing on the west
bank of the stream. -.........
That this process is already under
way is indicated by the fact that
Rome tells of increasing Austro-Ger-
man pressure against the Italian left
wing. where the crossing was ef-
fected.j g. 5-E.sE
River Narrow Here.
The spot selected by the enemy for
the successful attempt--near Pin
zano, about 40 miles from the mouth
of the river and about II miles north
west Of Udine--was at a point where
the marshy ground encountered fur
ther to the south begins to disappear,
the banks rising perceptibly and the
river narrowing down.
If General Cadorna decides tn
abandon the 'Tagliamento line, his
next natural stand for the defense OF
Venice will be at the Levinza, from
10 to IS miles further west, or fin
ally, at the Piave. some 10 miles fur-
ther in that direction.
Meanwhile. as the opposing armies
are struggling for the temporary mas
terry of the field, the entente leaders,
including the British and French
premiers and military advisers, are in
council in Rome to deal with the sit
uation, which admittedly is recog-
nizsd as grave, coupled as the power
ful attack from the east is, with the
threat Of fanking movement by the
Austro-German forces southwark in
the Trentino, to the west of the pres
ent battlefront. /

One of the shortest council meet
ings held in long time was that
of last evening. There was little
to come before the session and an
early adjournment was in order.
It was decided to purchase 5O
cords of green cut jackpine at 81 per
cord from John Goodman for use
by the city, and 35 cords Of mixed
wood from G. L. Lampman for -
per cord.
The matter of having about 500
feet Of old fire hose refined was re-
ferred to the fire committee. This
was broached by the mayor who has
obtained figures that would make
practically new hose 80 cents per
foot, when it would cost new $l.25.
The city will need new hose next
year and the refined hose would el-
inmate the purchase of new hose
at a high price.
The fire committee was also In
structed to look after the purchase
of new tires for the fire truck ana
also the matter Of repairing the
floor in the Fifth ward fire hall.
The matter of persons dumping
