COAL REGULATIONS
ANNOUNCED BY COM.

One of the sober facts 10 lie faced
by this and other communities is made
plain in . letter Of instruction from
Fuel Administrator Hamlen to the Au-
eCsta committee--that the pr,Ce of
coal is advanced. that no extra charce
shall lac made for delivery 81 half ton
lots, and that all coal shall he paid for
on delivery. The local committee be
Iievcs that the cash basis and the de-
livery of half ton lots At the same rate
as ton lots is in favor of the small
buyer. and that, eventually this course
will result i'll a reduction Of coal
prices. Just now Maine must make
the most and best Of what it can get.
The orders of the Fuel administration
are TO be carried out to the letter. as
Indicated il the following letter to To-
cal dealers:

The two most important meas
ures to be considered by Con-
gress at this session will be the
proposed amendments to the
constitution in favor of prohibi-
ton and woman suffrage. ANA
jority of the last Congress were
in favor of both of these amend
ments, but a bare majority is not
sufficient. According to Article
V of the Constitution it requires
a majority of two-thirds of each
branch of Congress to propose an
amendment for adoption by the
states, and it then requires vote
of three-fourths of the legisla
lures or conventions of the sew.
eral states.
The advocates of both meas.
ures claim they will be adopted
by the necessary tWo-thirds ma
jority. 1t is of interest to note
that on the vote for prohibition
Congressman Small and Pou will
be the only North Carolina Rep
resentatives to vote against it;
both Senators favor it. 1t is like
ly that Representative Weaver
will be the only North Carolina
Congressman to vote in favor Of
woman suffrage; both Senators
are opposed to it.

War between the United States
and Austria-Hungary was form
ally declared last Friday, Dec.
7th, the President signing the
resolution at SOB p. m. The res
outicn was approved by the
Hol Sc, 1863 to l, the only vote
against it Icing by the socialist
member from New York; this
one vote is important only for
the damning weight it will help
o add in identifying Socialism
with Kaiserism to the American
mind for years to come.
The formal declaration of war
is a diplomatic measure as well
as a military measure. 1t gives
strength and announcement to
the Italian Government in its
struggle to recover from the dis
aster that overlook its arms, and
it enables the United States to
deal more freely with subjects of
Austria Hungary in this country
who have been doing Germany's
work and escaping the RESPONSE
billty that attaches to enemy
aliens. 1t must also have its
moral effect within the Dual
Monarchy, whose subjects have
no quarrel with the United States
and who can have little sympa'
thy with governmental policies
that bring them into conflict with
the United States when they are
already so sorely beset.

A most fearful explosion and
fire occurred at Halifax, N. S., on
Thursday of last week. A French
freight vessel loaded with ben
zine and high explosives collided
in the harbor with a Norwegian
freighter, causing the former to
explode. The defamation was
felt for nearly a hundred miles
and large part of the city of
Halifax was destroyed by the
fire that followed. 10000 people
were rendered homeless and the
deaths will number over 5000;
the property damage is ovel
$30,0O0,0O0. The day following
the explosion, a blizzard with q
three-foot snow, swept over the
city, adding cold to the death in
ferno already prevalent. Wher
the cause OF the accident is siftee
down, the chances are that i
will be discovered the collision
on the part of the Norwegian
ship was not accidental merely
another mark to be charged
against the diabolical machina
tons of the Hun.
