GARFIELD DENIES
EXISTENCE Of ANY
COAL SHORTAGE

Absolute denial that there is any coal
shortage in Washington was made by
DR.. Harry A Garfield, fuel admins
traitor, today.
In an official statement DR.. Gar
field said:
There Is no present or prospective
coal shortage in Washington or In
any other city the East. Coal sup
plies are sufficient to meet the pres
ent requirements here and else
where"
DR.. Garfield explained that at the
present time no surplus coal was be-
ing stored in Warrington or In East
ern cities. because of the fact that all
available supplies are being rushed
to tn Northwest before navigation
closes on the Great Lakes November
Is. This Is necessary to prevent the
sending Of coal to the Northwest by
rail during the winter months. The
heavy movement to Washington and
other Eastern cities viii begin as soon
as navigation closes on the lakes.
Sufficient supplies are being sent
to Washington and other Eastern
cities, the fuel administration says, to
meet present requirements, but no
coal Is being supplied to these cities
for storage. Coal shipments will be
given preference in this direction
when the need arises, and the fuel ad-
ministration sees no possibility of
shortage.

EXPECT RELIEF FROM
FLOUR SHORTAGE SOON

Relief from the -four shortage
which has for weeks caused Wash
ington dealers and their customers
worry was forecast today by repre-
sentatiVes Of Western milling COM
panies, who blamed a tie-up OF ship
ments in the Chicago freight yards
for the empty flour bins in the Capt.
tai.
Cars loaded with flour from West
ern plants are tied up in Chicago
and other cities because the Gov
ernment is exercising its privilege
of priority Of shipment, according TO
flour agents here. Food trains, car
rying supplies to the thirty-two ma
tional army cantonments, contributed
to the cause Of the tie-up, It was said.
The action OF the wheat admins
tration in fixing q maximum price
on wheat was also blamed for in
ducing dealers to shy at large flour
orders, believing that the price OF
the commodity is to tumble under
Government regulation of prices.

NO REST NOW FOR
AGED CHARWOMAN;;
DRAFT TAKES SON

For twenty-seven long years she
has labored for the United States
Government In the Treasury Depart
ment, She does not sit at a mahogany
desk; she does not rule over a depart
ment; her lot is not that which would
offer an inducement to the outsider
IL Is menial, II is hard, she Is a mem
Der OF the cleaning crew.
Grown old and feeble under the
strain OF her labor, Mrs. Mary Ellen
Dunn, now nearing three-score years
o< age, has almost come to an end OF
her days of usefulness in even the
cleaning crew OF the Treasury build
ing.
+ A few months ago she planned to
quit work. Her only son. her only sup
port, was doing fairly we'll at his
trade as a plumber and gasfitteT. and
he said he would work a bit harder
and take care of his aged mother and
his little seven-year-old Mary Agnes
In truth, the small pittAnce received
by the woman from her weeks labors
would hardly be missed.
Dreams shattered.
Then came the conscription act The
son, James T. Schlosser, age twenty
seven years, was within the age limit.
The poor woman's dreams of a few
years of rest in her declining days
were shattered
The young man sought work at the
navy yard. where, he said, he could
make q sufficient wage TO provide for
his mother and by having work there
could be exempted from army service,
where the pay was inadequate to sup
port his mother and child.
The medical examiner turned down
his application for work at the Navy
Eord on the ground that he had a
weak heart. He returned to his
trade, but shortly was called up for
board having charge of the selectiye
draft. He was accepted and ordered
to report to Camp Meade at Admiral,
Nd, over his protest that he was
the sole dependence of his child and
mother.
Cries For Daddy.
'T have tried to bear up as well
as could under all this trouble, but
my poor little granddaughter lies
awake at nights and cries for her
daddy" said Mrs. Dunn, as she wept
and told her story to a Times re-
porter.
Last Sunday I broke down, and
was not able to leave my bed But
for having little Mary Agnes to bring
me water and what little food we
had 1 am sure would have died."
she said
81 am an old woman, just about at
the end of my days and with no one
left but this little child. Something
Is liable to happen to me at any hour,
and what could she do? Surely they
can spare my son from the army"
Mrs. Dunn said she was going to
make an effort to see her son Thurs
day at Camp Meade. Friends have
given her funds with which to pay
her expenses. She will not ask finan-
ciaI aid, although she stands badly
in need Of it. She has given her son,
her all. to the army. A few dollars
from others who have given less
would do good.
Her address is Mrs. Ellen Dunn, in
care OF the forelady, United States
Treasury, Washington, d. c.

It is now practically certain that

of the equipment, arms. ETC.. will be
ready to be distributed as part Of the
business Of mobilization. The equip

arms and ammunition stacked up IN
great piles OF cases is a very business
like one. and brings home the fact
that Delawareans will soon be using
these things in the battle for civil

The equipment Is pouring in con-
tlnually and a force OF men is now
engaged in taking stock and ticket

victory and there are, besides the
great piles OF rifles, ammunition, am

stacks Of camp material. uniforms,
