CONSERVE COAL SUPPLY
FUEL ADMINISTRATION ASKS
PEOPLE TO AID IN SAVING
COAL BY USING WOOD.
Country Has Ample Coal For All De.
rnands If Care Is Used In Its Use.
BY Burning Wood Wherever Posi-
BILE Will Be Great Aid.

Nashville.-After a meeting of the
state advisory committee of fuel ad.
ministration and w. E. Myer, federal
fuel administrator, the following ad.
dress was issued to the public:
TO the Public Of Tennessee:
"you understand that this country
Is in crisis. Had it not been for the
sending of food and money to the 81
lies, Europe today would be under the
heel of Prussianism. The support OF
this country in behalf Of civilization
has halted autocracy and the world
struggle is now on between autocracy
and democracy.
at is imperative for this country to
transmit men, food and fuel to the bat
tlefield. Men, food and munitions can
net be sent unless there is sufficient
COIL to produce the steam that drives
the ships across the ocean. One of the
vital things today in this country to
the success of our armies is the coal
supply. This country has ample coal
to supply the military demands anu
also to furnish fuel for homes and fac
tories. This coal will be supplied il
it is properly conserved. There is no
occasion for excitement over the coal
production and supply, but there is
occasion for concern about conserva-
ton of coal. 1t is absolutely necessary
that every reasonable means be used
to the end of conserving the coal sup
ply, that the comfort of the people,
the operation of industries and the
furnishing of coal for military pur'
poses shall not be impaired. To the
end of meeting the demands indicated,
1t is imperative that the people of this
nation, including the people of Tennes-
see, should use coal conservatively
and economic in its consumption in
every possible way"

 DROP THE MASK
Declares Reply to President Wilson Admits "Their
 Lust for Conquest"

Amsterdam, via London, Jan. 13.-- The following proclamation by the
 emperor to the German people has been officially published in Berlin: Our enemies have dropped the mask. After refusing with scorn and hypocritical words of love for peace and humanity, our honest peace offer, they have now in their reply to the United States. gone beyond that and admitted their lust for conquest, the
 haseness of which is further enhanc- ed by their calumnious assertions. Their aim is the crushing of Ger
 many, the dismemberment of the ,, powers allied with us and the en- slavement of the freedom of Europe and the seas under the same yoke that Greece with gnashing of teeth
 is now enduring.
 | But what they could not achieve | in 90 months of the bloodiest fighting
 and most unscrupulous economic war, they will also fail to accomplish in
 the future. Our glorious victories and our iron strength of will with
 which our fighting people at the front
 and at home have borne all hardships ana ulStTeSS SudTaHlee lHdt also III the future our beloved fatherland has
 nothing to fear Burning indignation
 and holy wrath, will redouble the
 strength of every German man and woman whether it is devoted to fight ing, to work or to suffering.
 we are ready for all sacrifices. The God who planted His glorious
 spirit of freedom in the hearts of our
 brave people will also give us and our loyal allies, tested in battle, the full victory over all the enemy lust for power and rage for dstruction. "Wilhelm, I. R."

From the far cases of distant Min nesota, Osman Temple of St. Paul, ancient order of the mystic shrine, joined by nobles and their ladies from the Southland have stolen in upon Havana, the wondrous. the new, the mystic, the wonderful, city re- built by American enterprise, and guided on its way by Uncle Sam, and have passed onward to view that greatest engineering work of all the ages, the Panama Canal.
 They came, these nobles and their ladies, on the magnificent and pala- tial steamship Turrialba of the United Fruit Company, which, as had been announced in official decree, would be especially chartered for the momentous cruise. Their arrival was on the second day of the third month, Safar 1885, date that if interpreted, as the Turrialba slipped by the light house on Moro Castle, would indi- cate that the year 1916 was fast drawing toward it's close.
 Havana opened it's heart to the visitors. Local Shriners put on a ceremonial in the Havana Y. M. c. A. in which fifty candidates of Havana trod the sands of the desert in the playground of the nations.
 This was the second time dispensa- ton was ever granted by the I'm peTial potentate of the or ic1 Cor ;fe

 Shades of Persia! Havana and it's thousands of Americans. as we'll as it's native population rejoiced that the visitors from the far north should behold what amazing won ders American constructive genius has wrought in this olc and ancient capital. Though it's quaint buildings point to the grandeur and glory of Spain three hundred years ago, yet, here in Havana, that glory has not fled.
 Not so many years ago a journey to Havana would have beer regard ed as pilgrimage to far city. To- day it's easy and when they come visitors behold one of the most mod ern cities of it's size in the world. There are 1855 miles of city streets paved with granite blocks or sur faced with concrete i'll Havana. This work was only completed during the last two or three years. There are

H. (. L. IN ENGLAND.

London, Jan 13.-Ths rise in prices is costing the inhabitants of Greater London something like $5Oo,00O,o0O a year. This is the conclusion arrived at by statistican, based on calcu- lation of the prewar consumption If food. fuel, clothing, tobacco, drink, etc. In the principal foodstuffs alone he makes out total increased eXpendi ture of $250,000,000. The seven mil lions of people in Greater London don- sume about $500 tons of food daily. This includes 6,200,0o0 pounds of bread day, and. figuring the average rise at three pence loaf, the increas- ed expenditure on this item alone amounts to s95,00O day, or about $35,000,000 a year.

The nobles and their ladies from the north were surprised at what they saw. Havana has all the mys- tic fascination of an old city. which it is, But its improvements make it bright, spic, span, and new. It is dustless. odorless, and healthy. It is crowded with tourists from the States and Central and South Ameri- ca. The wonderful Prado, boulevard enclosing in its center tree shaded lawn with asphalt walks, leads from the center of the city to the Malecon or sea drive which skirts the deep blue Caribbean Sea. The Prado was 1 improved and reconstructed by Gen. eral Leonard Wood. Al 'ng the Male con Drive passes a constant process sion of autos. The boulevard is sur faced with concrete and the side to- ward the ocean lined with a huge es- exponent. This is one of the show places on this side of the world, and toward the sea and this mighty boulevard face the mansions of the new Havana.
 The old Havana with its quain nar- row streets, it's many churches. its buildings with their overhanging balustrades is as fascinating as al ways. Portions of the city remind one of Seville or Madrid. Here are lofty. ceilinged homes that fifty years age cost great fortunes. Some of then with their marble and hardwood fur nishings cost S500,000. Today thu street cars often pass them so close
 ly that one can almost reach cut ant touch the ornamental iron lattice
 that mark their glassless windows. Havana Is at high tide. Cuba i

Menocal and his cabine are progressive, hardworking meI and are pushing forward the devet opment of Cuba. President Menoca is a graduate of Cornell. Great at- tention is being given to popular education. The government is framed after that of the United States which gave Cuba it's first up- ward lift to freedom.
 These are some of the reasons why the American population of Havana which has taken a leading part in the constructive development of the city and of the island were re- ioiced that the Shriners saw the new town and can carry back tie message of what they, themselves, have seen to the United States. AS the big Turrialba slipped out of the harbor, past Cubana fortress. past Moro Castle, Havana said: "Come again, Shriners, and see how Uncle Sam's big work in this lucky, happy island is coming out"
 "Come again, potentate Ashley J. Ahell. Come again, deputy poten~ tate Charles J. Ovenshire. Come again, members of Osman Temple of St. Paul, of Oasis Temple O. Charlotte.
