by the Germans were sacked beyond
description, President Lyman Powell
of Hobart college declared in an ad-
dress yesterday. The speaker recent
ly returned from England and France
where he was sent to investigate on
ditions as a representative of the
Presidents Association of Colleges and
Universities of the United States.
THE need of ar effective army to
protect America from such a treach-
erous conquest IS I have seen, is the
most imperative thing in this coun-
try" he said. "Our army must go
over there and strike before the
army wi there gets an opportunity
to come e here, or we are lost"
DIR. Powell told of the fate that be-
fell the town of Chauny. captured by
the Germans in their invasion and
evacuation last June or July.
The Germans were not content
With h misery they already had
mantled the glass factories, then they
herded all the young women and
young men into a parking space and
selected the young men for service of
one sort or another behind the lines.
'"Then they lined up the young
women, according to rank in beauty.
The highest official chose the fairest
as his servant, the next highest Off
GERS made their selection and finally
the common soldiers took their pick.
At the time I arrived in Chauny only
800 of the original 10000 inhabitants
were left, and these were old merr

Two Dealers Have Had to
Turn Orders Down Since
II Last Week.
WHEN
MORE ARRIVES
Various Reasons Assigned
for Situation-One Firm
Report Overlooking.

While snow is or the ground, Grand
Forks is facing what appears to be
an exceedingly serious coal shortage.
The situation, briefly, is this that
there is very little Goa on hand; that
Ome dealers have been turning or
ders down during the last few days;
that no one knows when more coal
may be expected, and that nobody ap-
pears to be in ap osition to assign the
actual reasons for the famine which
may be threatening.
The Grand Forks Ice & Fuel COM
pany reported this afternoon h a it
had been turning orders down since
Saturday. 1t would be impossible to
predict when the next car loads
would be- received, and, meanwhile.
there was nothing to do but to await
developments as patiently as possible
n to hope that the weather wouldn't
be too severe within the next few
weeks.
No Delivery on New Orders.
A. G. Sorlie said that while he had
some coal in his yards the local stu
alton was very bad AS far as his
W business was concerned, Mr.. Sor-
lie said. the trouble was hat he had
orders booked weeks ahead, and that
he was unable to deliver coal on new
orders except in cases where actual
suffering was evident. In such cases
enough coal might De spared 10 keep
people from actually freezing.
Difficulty in Having Cars Loaded.
Mr.. Stinson Of the Stinson Imple-
ment & Fuel company said hat he
has a few tons of coal on hand. but
that he was convinced that there was
difficulty in getting railroad cars load
ed at the head of the lakes. Mr.. Stin-
son admitted that the outlook was
dark, inasmuch as it was impossible
to know in advance when coal might
be expected. Furthermore, prices
were fluctuating considerably-a fact
which increased the difficulties Of a
situation already serious enough.
Much Coal Goes to Canada.
Stephen Collins, another dealer in
fuel, thought the coal situation ex-
tremely grave. He said he had no
more coal and That he had been reA
fusing to accept orders ever since Fri
day. I'VE don't get half the quantity
Of the normal supply" Mr.. Collins
said, land it is impossible to have
contracts signed and carried out. One
OF the causes Of the trouble is that
much Goa is going into Canada. and
another that not nearly as much coal
IL being mined as usual, owing to the
fact that strikes have been pending
at the mines in various sections of
the country"
Great Northern May Act.
Some of the coal dealers had init
mated that the railroads were to
blame partly for not supplying enough
cars for the hauling Of coal.
When this was mentioned to J. H.
Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1917-10-22

Grimm. freight agent. OF, the Great
Northern railway, he said that he
realized the situation was serious. and
for that reason he this morning took
the matter up with the main ONCE OF
his road. He did not think, however.
that the railroads could Justly be
blamed for the shortage Of coal in
this part of the country.
j. Fl. McNicol. agent of the North
ern Pacific, said when told that the
railroads had been criticized for lack
of attention to the coal situation:
Same Old Story, Says McNicol.
Eyes. that's the usual COURSE. no
matter whether 1t rains. SHOWS or the
sun shines. The railroads are to
trouble lies. But it isn't so. We are
hauling all we get to haul. But 1t is
a fact which should not be forgotten
that there is a shortage of coal at the
head of the lakes. That's the source
of the trouble. 1t should also be con-
sidered that the railroads have been
required to haul war supply for the
government. and that the Northern
Pacific, the Great Northern and the
coal to Illinois and other central.
states where it is needed to keep en-l
gines going so that the transportation
of the government supplies will not
be impeded in any I'M One.
more thing is that the coal mines have
had a lot of labor troubles, and. as
a consequence, only a comparatively
small percentage of the normal sup
ply has been produced. But, of
course. we can keep on explaining
the people will blame 1t on the rail-
roads, anyhow. M matter what the
actual facts are"
II. r.. Yards Well Stocked.
1t was said today that the railroads
entering Grand Forks have plentiful
supplies of coal for their own use. 1t
was pointed out at the same time that
it is essential to the life of the COM
munity that the railroads have large
quantities on hand, and it was added
that it would be entirely unnecessary
to picture in detail what would hap
pen if the coal supply Of the rail-
roads gave out.

necessary'to put forth new efforts in

not allow that. %
Furthermore, 1t was felt that each
state, city and hamlet throughout the
country must give the Kaiser and his
Huns a reply, and an effective one, to
the sinking of the Antilles and the
loss Of American lives resulting there
