Tsr iE, however, there is delay in or dering coal 1t is more than likely that production during the fall and winter will be insunicient to meet the needs of every one
 Better New Kind Than None.
 "There has been notable neglect of certain grades of coal that are now available in large volume and clamor- ous demand, in certain quarters at least, for specific coals that various consumers have used for a number of years. While there Is at the present no shortage of coal in the west, there may tae a denial of selection of the pre- else coal most desired. If you seek to do your part place your order now for the coal nearest at hand and of which there Is a large available tonnage and get your bins filled immediately.
 ''The Fuel Administration is anxious with every means at its command to secure the hearty cooperation of the public and to move into the bins of domestic users particularly their full years coal supply before the first day of October. Whether it succeeds or not is entirely dependent upon your own personal attitude and action.
 If the anxiety of the Administration seems to you overdrawn proof of the necessity of its recommendation and the propriety of the warning will reach you in full force during the coming fall and winter, when coal will not be available, and your vigorous effort may result in another failure to secure an adequate supply. The indifferent coal consumer promises to find himself in the coal line during the severe pc riods of the coming winter and coln- pelled to accept day to day supply of fuel and possibly be entirely denied"

 The report of the Y. M. C. A. work done in April shows 2 very gratifying increase in ali departments despite the fact that there has been such short- age in secretaries. Attend ance at the meetings in the v buildings increased nearly 3O per cent and more than 800 . GOO envelopes were given free to the men. Religious work has been especially gratifying and there is very concrete evi. dence that the men are res bonding to the pleas for clean living and higher moral stand ards.
 When a colored driver of one of the light trucks from the Quartermasters area was re- monstrated for his recklessness in driving and his evident de- sire to make some of the SOL diers clear the street in a hurry he grinned and said: :"Boss, das Jes de way dey used to make me hop befo 1 got in dis heah army, de shoe am on my foot now an 1 sho gwine show dem white men dat a rollin stone gathers no moss."

CAMP PIKE NOTES

Never has the Y. M. c. A. at Camp Pike made stronger appeal to the men that it did on Mothers day and never has it met with more marked response. Special meetings were held in each of the twelve "Y" buildings, and the city of Little Rock contributed much to the day by sending to the camp it's most talented musi- clans and great quantities of flowers. A careful record of the attendance shows that more than 7,500 attended the special programs, and the out going mail was much heavier than usual with the bulk of the letters going to some "Mrs." which in most instances meant mother" The secretaries also say there was an unusually large number of men who came to the desk for personal inter views after the close of the service.
 Mrs. Newton D. Baker, wife of the Secretary of War, sang to the soliers of camp Pike re- gently. Mrs. Baker is a fine singer an was we'll received. The boys are getting to see and hear quite a number of cele- brities these days.
 Some of the rockies, as the newcomers are best known, do not appreciate the amount of work that is being done to make Camp Pike a place of beauty and the obstacles are being patiently overcome. One of the colored boys tried to climb a small tree in front of his barracks and the guard went after him in a hurry 'Nigger! We hangs men who pulls one leaf often that tree What dat sarjunt would do to a nigger who breaks dat tree down, I hates to even whisper

 "One reason why it is so hard to teach discipline to some in the army is because of the foolish women back home who weep in their let ters over every little hardship that comes to Willie" i Democracy will prove a failure unless the people are willing to consider their duties before insisting on their rights
 "Men are safer from the so- called social evils while in the lU. s. Army than in the average town at home"
 Discipline must be taught the people at home as we'll as the men in the army
 No enlisted men of any army are turned loose in Paris. American soldiers may stop only at authorized hotels.
 When the 346th Infantry went to the trenches last week for practice work, the Y. M. c. A. went with them and two secretaries from building No. I36 were on the job all the time. They opened a canteen and sold soft drinks, candy, crackers, etc., and furnished stamps and paper, and carried ion much the same work as though they were in camp. The service was appreciated much by the men and one of them said, "I don't mind going anywhere so long as the Y men stick with us." And the casualties from Europe show that they stick with them right to the firing line.
 Red, white and blue hat cords, the special insignia of the students in the officers training schools, are again with us in large quantities, for the Fourth Training School is now we'll under way. Fewer of the men fail to make good than in the first two schools, owing to the fact that the ,candidates for commissions are nearly all enlisted men with from one or two to eight months experience. They are in fine physical condition and that makes the strenuous work easier for them.
 A recent inquiry came to my office with regard to the water supply of Camp Pike. A local rumor said that there were many cases of typhoid fever here, due to impure water. Ty- phoid fever is unknown al Camp Pike. The water used in the camp is received directly from the Little Rock city mains and is the same that the citi- zens there are drinking. Camr Pike requires 1,250,000 gal
 Ions of water daily and the tanks have a storage capacity Iof million gallons.

IMMEDIATE ACTION URGED.
Man Who Does Not Thus Cooperate With Fuel Administration and Rail- Stacker Who Dodges Service at the Front or Refuses to Buy Bonds.

Greater cooperation in buying coal at once must be obtained in the West, West, the Fuel Administration an- nOunces at Washington, if the mines are to be kept going full time during the summer months and the danger averted of a serious shortage of coal in those sections next fall and winter.
 Official reports to the Fuel Admin istration show that in the States of Illinois, Michigan, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, New Mex leo, Iowa, Utah, Washington, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana consumers of coal are not placing their orders in the volume expected, or in quantities nec- essary to insure against a winter short age This is true also, though to less extent, in Ohio and Indiana.
 Apparently the consumers in these districts have not yet realized the full gravity of the situatiOn," the Fuel Administration states. '"The mines In those sections must be kept going. They can be kept going only if coal ordinarily ordered later in the year is ordered now. The domestic consumer who delays placing his order is taking a chance of having an insufficient cold weather supply; the industrial user who fails to order his coal now Is almost certain to face a shutdown later on.
 Buy NoW-Everybody
 ..The man who does not do his part by anticipating his needs and cooper ating with the Fuel Administration and the railroads by ordering his coal now takes his place with the man who avoids service at the front or refuses to buy Liberty Bonds. Every coal user should buy and store coal now to meet his requirements so far as he Is possibly able to do so.
 ''Every state and local representative Of the Fuel Administration is ready to help the coal consumer in every way possible to get an appropriate and ad- eqaate supply of coal. Every day that passes decreases the margin of time in which this assistance may be given.
 If you can't get the grade of coal that you have been getting in the past take another grade that you can get. It is better to have In your bins coal of grade slightly different from what you have been using In the past than to go into winter without any coal at all.
 Consumers who do not order their coal now are gambling on the future. There Is reason to believe that if ev- cry one anticipates his coal require ments and puts in his order now no one will have to do without next win

New Gimpers Cause Experts
All Sorts of Troubles

Another time another gimper and l
took up a new man. a little chap, who
had Just come out from school. He did
pretty well. despite the archies and we
were coming home when he suddenly
plqued on a plane with our own CO.
guards on the wings.
1T was another Of the gimpers. Or
dlnarily. II one glmper wants to pique
on another for fun, IL is all right but
for a new man to do IL is bad form.

"He turned on the new chap who was
plquing. but who had not fired and
gave him a volley OF shots a little to
one side OF the wings. A good shot
can do that without risking hitting the
machine coming at him.
1T was a surprise 10 the new man,
who dlved straight groundward, fiat
tened out, and. headed due south. We
wondered where ne would stop and
heard nothing OF him for a day. Then
a telephone call announced he had land

OF Switzerland. Tis sersion OF the
story was that three boches hac at
tackled him and driven him to where
ne landed

hour they Unanswered for position ana
finally our gimper got 1t between his
victim and the sun. He was diving
and Just ready to shoot when he no

machine. He was watering at the
mouth 10 let the boche have 1t when
he saw 10 was an American. He pulled
of and the two planes came down.
"Once on the ground in an aviation
field, the two fighters looked the other
up. Imagine their surprise on each
finding the other an old chum from
the South where they had been school
boys together. Neither knew the other

WASHINGTON, Aug. i2-President
Wilson has achieved a signal victory
in his outworking Of the Russian in
terventlon program. This Intervention
is 10 be helpful rather than harmful
to the Soviet government. Some day
history may tell Of the tremendous in
fluences which were working for the
opposite OF what has happened.
President Wilson has insisted that
the Russians be given a chance to try
out their. experiment in economic dem
ocracy. He was opposed by the old
school diplomacy which has had II in
mind only 70 take advantage Of Rus
sia's helplessness to seize territory 70
make political aggressions and TO open
the way for commercial exploitation.
Under pretext OF fighting Germany
in the east II was greatly desired n
certain OF the worlds capitals TO send
10 Russia a force strong enough to
crush the power Of the Soviets and
10 end the experiment IN Industrial
democracy, lest this experiment spread
to other countries. President Wilson
has checked this and has opened the
way 10 working out a solution OF the
problem which places the United States
in the position OF being Russia's friend.
The President has been guided to his
conclusions by a number OF well-ln-
formed people. Among these is Profes-
sor Edward A. Ross. formerly OF the
University OF Wisconsin, who has re-

a military guard must be supplied to
insure the safe transportation Of sun
piles 10 Moscow and other Russian
cities. Japan and the United states
propose to furnish such guard and to
omen the way for the return to Eu-
rope OF the CzechO-Sloyak army.
