Little Basis For Rumors
of Police Removals Is
Seen in City Circles

Rumors of number of changes in
the police department were given
little credence in city official circles
to-day because of the requirements
of the civil service law which pre-
vents any appointment to the police
force for any position except upon
the approval of council after three
names have been submitted by the
civil service board following an
examination of applicants for the
position. Friends of the commission
ers and Mayor Keister expressed the
opinion that efforts are being made
to create doubt as to the extent of
the applicability of the civil service
law and predicted that little atten-
ton would be paid to such efforts.
While the civil service board sub
mitted the new rules and regulations
to council for approval this is not
required by law. No action will be
taken by the board to set date for
examination until council disposes
of the rules.

Coal and Food Heads
Contest Priority Rights
BY Associated Prcss

Washington, Dec. /. - The con-
test between the food and fuel admin
istrations over priority rights for
food and coal transportation, was
taken up to-day at "a conference be-
tween representatives of the railroad
war board, the committee on priority
and the two administrations concern
ed, to decide whether foodstuffs OF
coal and coke shall move first on the
railroads.
The fuel administrators request
that coal be given right of way has
drawn objections from the food ad-
ministration. If coal goes ahead OF
food, the food administration declares
the country will be brought to the
point of actual hunger. Meanwhile
the general operating committee OF
the eastern railroads, acting on the
suggestion of Fuel Administrator
GARFIELD, has without a formal govern
ment order, issued instructions giving
preference to coal movement in or
der to clear congested terminals. The
committee on priority has in specific
cases, been giving preference to ship
ments in the following order:
First, livestock and perishabIes
second, ordinar footstuffs and feeds
third, railway supplies and materials
fourth, coal and coke; fifth, govern
ment. supplies, and sixth, general
freight.

Russian Mobilization Immedi-

London, Dec. 1.-The German for

is quoted in a Central News dispatch
from Amsterdam as saying it was
absurd to imagine Germany would
enter peace conference with large
claims.
During yesterdays sitting of the
Reichstag main committee, DR.. Won
kuehlmann made a speech in which
he said:
Our eyes at the present moment
are turned toward the east. Russia
mas set the world ablaze The gang

misguided, though probably we'll
meaning, autocrat, surreptitiously
brought about the mobilization OF
that country, which was the actual
and immediate cause of the gigantic
catastrophe which befell the world.
Now, however, Russia has swept
aside the culprits, and she is labor
ing to find through an armistice and
peace an opportunity for her internal
reconstruction. l need not supple-
ment the clear words in which the
chancellor yesterday stated the atti-
tude of the German government to-
ward these aims. Here again our
policy will adhere to the principle of
firm but moderate statesmanship
based upon facts.
The principles hitherto announced
to the world by the present rulers in
PetroErad appear to be entirely ac-
ceptable as basis for reorganization
OF affairs in the east-a reorganiza-
tion which, while fully taking into
account the right of nations to de-
termine their best instincts, is col
lated permanently to safeguard the
essential interests of the two great
neighboring nations, Germany and
Russia.
Il am profoundly satisfied we shall
be able to pursue this course in full
agreement with our allies and, I take
it, also with the unanimous moral
support of the representatives of the
German people here assembled-a
fact which will give our action nee
essary weight"

COAL CARDS
ARE CAUSING
\ MUICHC0NCERN
Customers Find Questions Are
Difficult to Answer; Deal
ers Pleased With Results

My goodness! Do you mean to
say L have to do all that to get a
ton of coal?"
This is the exclamation of the
customer when he is told that he
must hll out coal card in order
to have his order for anthracite fill
ed, according to a prominent dealer
to-day. 1t seems to be a matter of
great surprise to a customer when
ne is told that he cannot order coal
over the phone, but must come into
the office and sign his own card.
The reporter asked how the Gus
toners take the matter of signing
the cards. Here comes a customer.
Watch him" was the answer. The
dealer handed the customer the card
and leaned back in his chair. quietly
smoking his cigar and paying no at
tention to the customer, who stood
looking at the card.
We'll, how do do this?" said the
customer.
That's the usual answer, Mr.. Re-
porter" said the dealer, and turned
to the customer.
Answer the questions" he said.
well, I thought that would be
your answer, but it seemed so
strange to order coal this way | had
to ask you something" said the Gus
toner.
Dealers this morning said that they
can already see that the cards are
going to be good thing. for when a
customer formerly ordered coal, over
the phone, or by coming in himself,
he always insisted that he did not
have enough to last through the
night, so hurry and deliver it to-
day."
customers admit that they have
enough coal to last them through
three or four days if necessary, and
so it is possible for the dealers to
use their judgment in placing the
coal where it will do the most good.
