SUNDAY ID BE BIG
 DAY IN WILLIAMS

Sunday, July 29, is to be a big day in Williams. A fast ball game between the Kingman and Williams teams is schedul- ed and in addition to this there will be blue rock shoot be. tween the gun clubs of the two towns. On the preceding Satur- day night dance will be given at the Sultana Theatre for the purpose of raising funds to help meet the expenses of bringing the Kingman team here.
 The management of the Ball Club has arranged for five min ute auto service to and from the fair grounds and there will be an abundance of cool drink ing water on the grounds. The Barnes Band has volunteered to furnish music at the grounds and this alone will be worth the trouble of going.
 The game has been advertis- ed in Flagstaff, Ash Fork and other neighboring towns, and a large delegation is expected from each. The ball game in addition to the Gun Shoot will draw a large delegation from Kingman. Bringing this large crowd to Williams at this sea- son will advertise our cool cli- mate to good advantage. The sdccess of this will encourage the promoters to schedule otk- CT games for the near future. Come out and have good time and help to give our visitors a good time.

Miners Insist on Wage Increase.

Chicago, Oct. 18.-A three days coal
supply Is all that remains in this city
today, according to coal dealers, who
said that unless the strike Of more
than $4,000 coal miners in southern and
central Illinois is settled before Satur-
day night or the government inter-
venes, a serious shortage will result.
Federal Fuel Administrator Garfield
has notified the miners and the oper-
ators that unless their differences are
composed the government may take
over the coal mines and operate them,
and Frank Harrington, president of the
Illinois Federation of Miners, has tele-
graphed all local unions to return to
work at once and await the action of
the government on the promised in
crease in wages
The miners claim they should have
secured an increase in wages on Oct.
Is, while the operators assert the in
crease Is dependent on an order from
the government allowing producers to
charge 40 cents ton more for coal at
the mine.

Weekly Food Ration
of Germans Only so
Per Cent of Needs

Washington, Oct. 1S.-Recently OBJ
tanned figures on the German weekly
food ration were made public today by
the food administration with the OBJ
servation that it is far below the
amount required to maintain bodily
health and vigor and is likely to have
serious and permanent results.
Computed in terms of American
housekeeping the weekly ration
amounts to Az pounds Of bread, a
half peck of potatoes, cupful Of
beans, peas or oatmeal; half pound
Of meat, two cubes of sugar, six in
dividual patties of butter and an equal
amount of other fats. The caloric
value of these foods in the aggregate
Is less than half the amount estimated
by the food administration as suffi-
cient for a person in a sedentary occu-
patton.
Reports to the state department in
dicate that the German harvests this
year have not relieved the food situa-
ton to any appreciable extent. 1t Is
known that there is a great scarcity
of fats and animal food in general and
that the supplies received from Rou-
mania and neighboring neutrals are
not making up for the lack Of proteins.
It has been definitely established that
while some Of the crops were normal
in volume the scanty supplies in most
commodities have been augmented.

NEUTRALs MUST BE GOOD.
Sweden Must Sell Metal to Entente or
Lose Foods.


Washington, Oct 18.-Neutral ma
tions, and particularly those in Europe,
must be prepared to share even greater
deprivations and burdens made nee
essary by the war, under the decision
Of the recent allied conference at Lon
don.
Details Of the conference are begin
ming to reach Washington thru official
channels. They show that the allies
are determined to support their armies
in the field by cutting off as far as pos
sible all supplies for the German army
from neutral sources thru a tightening
Of the blockade.
Attention was called at the confer
ence to the necessity Of preventing
Sweden from supplying Germany with
metals and the general opinion was
that hereafter the neutrals should be
compelled to furnish the allies with
goods Of their own production which
they can not consume. in exchange for
supplies from the allies. Further. they
will be required to use their own ships
for this trade.
"Such is the new blockade formula
which must be strictly applied and
which Will make it impossible for Ger
many to continue the struggle" was
one declaration of the conference.
The extent to which the United
States will be influenced by the de-
cisions Of the London conference has
not been revealed. but that this gov
ernment Is in accord with them Is evil
denced by the rigid restrictions placed
upon exports to the European neutrals
from this country.
While official announcement is being
withheld. 1t is practically certain that
the United States will be represented
at the coming conference Of all the
nations at war against Germany. which
probab bly, will be held in Paris.

the statement that 1t definitely had
been decided that there would be a
conference, and that the United States
