Des Moines, Oct. 29.-But little relief
is in sight in the near fuel famine
which is threatening practically all
parts of the state. Unusually sharp,
crisp weather for October has added to
the seriousness of the shortage and the
inability of the railroad companies to
move freight promptly continues to be
handicap.
Telephone messages, kilograms and
personal visits continue to pile up evil

particularly to get coal. But few COM
plants have been received from big
business concerns or manufacturers.
Federal action against Des Moines

Fuel Administrator Charles Webster.

out of town trip Tuesday. He in

Laek Car. For SUGAR Beets.

Mason City. Oct. 29-Sugar beets
continue to be shipped into the city
every day and the amounts are becom-
ing larger. Friday it is estimated that
over seventy cars were shipped in. The
farmers are complaining Of the lack OF
freight cars to ship the beets and OF
the lack Of help, and there are many
fields that have not been touched. The
crop this year was unusually large
and the farmers receive excellent pay
for the beets. There are stacks OF
beets in the fields ready to be shipped
but only about one-third the cars nee
essary can be gotten and this forces
the. beets to be handled three times
instead Of once which requires addi-
tional labor and will reflect in the price
Of the sugar this winter.

National Guard Units to be Sent First

ing state Troops and Regulars
Some Drafted Men to be Sent From
Time to Time For Special Service.
rRy. q. G. Dougherty.l


Washington, Oct 29.-The citizen
soldiery of Iowa, in training at Camp
Dodge Des Moines, will remain in
camp until spring before they are sent
aboard transports for the journey to
France.
This statement was made by one of
the highest war department officials
in refutation Of published statements
that the .selective army would be on
the way to France before Feb. 1.
Two factors will prevent the en-
barkation of the national army men
before spring. First and most impor-
tant, is the lack of shipping. Secondly
there Is the policy Of the war depart
ment to give the men sixteen weeks
intensive training, according to pre-
arranged schedule. before sending them
to France for further training back Of
the lines. Inasmuch as the full divi-
sions will not be organized until the
last drafted men reach camp next
month and the sixteenth week period
dates from the time of completing the
divisional organization, the training
period will not end until some time in
March. The present plan is to begin
movement of the draft army then.
Guards to Go First.
There are 100000 national guard
troops which. are scheduled to so to
France in advance OF the drafted men.
Included in this number are thousands
Of drafted men transferred from can
tonments to camps Of their state troops
in the south. But the national guard
had the advantage Of a skeleton or
ganization of trained men and all war
the idea in mind Of sending these
troops first to France.
To move this force to France be-
fore spring would mean a troop move
ment Of 100000 men a month and the
simultaneous shipment of en~.gh sup
plies to equip every man sent for six
months. Moving this national guard
force, in addition to the hundreds of
thousands Of regulars, engineers, avi-
ators, medical forces and other troops
will, officials point out, strain the ship
ping facilities of the country to the
utmost.
