ALL REQUESTS DENIED.

The county fuel committee, Thos.
Conlin, Herman Holmes and Charles
r. Lawrence, held a meeting in the
city hall last Monday to consider the
fuel situation In this county.
About dozen applications for spec
ial rulings in regard to anthracite
coal were considered and, much
against their wishes, they found It
necessary TO deny all OF them. Iron
1ounty has been allotted 1929 tons OF
hard coal and that is just about As
per can: of what IS required so that
the most careful distribution must be
made cf It in order TO give coal to
those vino must have 1t because they
have only base burners.
All users OF steam and hot water
plants must use soft coal. This is go
ing TO be quite hardship on many,
but those so affected must remember
that the war Is no respecter OF persons
Such changes must be made in pipes
and furnaces as will allow soft coal to
be used, even though the pipes must
be taken down and cleaned often.
The fuel administration again issues
a word of warning TO everyone, es-
pecially those who have been hanging
back expecting that some shift OF fate
will bring relief in the way OF more
plentiful coal supplies. order soft
(. coal IL the regulations say you must
use II so that It may be furnished to
you before the cold weather. II you
don't order soft coal people in some
other county Is going to get ahead Of
you and when you come TO order
there may be a scant supply OF soft
coal.
There will be no Pocohontas. Don't
wait for 1t. Get after the soft coal
Another thing, get wood. Miners
who work but hours per day have
Nplenty Of time to get out and cut wood
ht least day or two in the week. If
you get all OF the hard coal you have
coming II will not be enough TO run
you through unless you burn three
tons or less. This warning is given
with the hope that II will be needed
III you don't heed It will be sorry.

CASPIAN BOY WOUNDED.

The full meaning OF the tragedy OF
the world war was brought home
keenly TO stambaugh people when the
word was passed Wednesday that a
message had been received from army
headquarters at Washington, ID. c.,
stating that Corporal James Henry
Trestrail OF Stambaugh had been Sc
verely wounded in action.
The message in full read: I'VE re-
greet to inform you that 1t Is officially
reported that Corporal James Henry
Trestrail, INIT, was severely wounded
in action August 9Th. Inc department
has no further Information"
Meager. indeed. seems a mere state
ment OF fact to loved ones who wait so
anxiously for further news.
1t is recalled that Mr.. Trestrail was
one OF the first men to answer the
call TO service, having enlisted in
Company l. Immediately after the u.
s. entered the war. His company was
stationed at Escanaba for a time, but
was later sentto Texas.
He sailed for France In February
and month later was sent into ac-
ton. His ambition from the first was
10 so perform the duties OF soldier
that he might win promotion; and he
had. though but barely twenty years
of age, been made a corporal with
prospects OF soon being made a ser
geant. Hobart Brazell, who was a
member OF the same company, and
who has but recently returned, says he
talked with Mr.. Trestrail short time
before leaving France.
Mr.. Trestrail is the son OF Mr.. and
Mrs. James Trestrail OF Stambaugh
and cousin Of A. H. TrestraiI OF the
Verona office. He attended the STAN
baugh high school, but at the time he
enlisted was pursuing a course In en-
cheering through correspondence
school.

Hobart Brazell, who was honorably
discharged from the American army
because OF III health, and is now at
his home in Iron River. has some in
teresting experiences to relate.
He enlisted in Company l. soon af-
ter the United States entered the
war, but was transferred 10 Company
X, 125th Infantry. At the time that
company sailed. however. he was un-
able TO 20 on account OF illness and
was retained for discharge; but as
orders TO that effect had not been
received by the officers in charge be-
fore the next detachment sailed, he
was sent to France where he Joined
his own company.
He made the trip overseas on the
Dante Alighter, an Italian vessel,
which was one OF fourteen army
transports. These were accompanied
by a single battleship until they ar
rived at the danger zone, when they
were Joined by sixteen destroyers.
After voyage OF thirteen days, the
troops were landed at Brest. From
here they were sent out about I'VE
miles TO an old prison which is said
to have been used by Napoleon. After
but one days stay they were sent TO
st. Ignain Meyers, travelling in box
cars marked ''Hommes b-o." or cheav-
aux (men 40, or horses 81.
From here Mr.. Brazell was sent to
the front line trenches, where the
men were billitted in dugouts, SO men
TO each. These were infested with
rats and coolies, but no one minds
these. for when he has chance to
stay there and rest he is too tired to
notice anything. Most OF the time at
the front he spent at making barbed
wire entanglements. This work must
be done In the dark and is full OF
danger, especially from 3 to 6 a. m,
which seems the Germans favorite
time for getting busy. There being
no shelter whatever on "No Mans
Land" it was necessary for the men
to fall to the ground and lie close
when sky rockets were sent up TO light
the field so that the gunners could see
the mark.
How did / like France? WELL"
said Mr.. Brazell, ut is a very pretty
country, but different, you know. Ev-
cry inch OF land is carefully cultivated.
The railroad depots are all small and
all alike, no matter how large or how
small the town. Every village has its
cathedral, and every locality its castle.
1.-The French girls are pretty enough
or would be, IL they were dressed In
style, but they comb their hair straight
back and wear little white cap with
a lace band under the chin. Their
dresses are black and old-fashioned,
and they wear white aprons and wood
en- shoes. Oh, in the city, the women
dress right in style, and 1t is style,
too"
Women are working everywhere as
conductors, station agents, and even
freight handlers; and they do most all
OF the farming and gardening. One
rarely sees a man in civilian clothes
unless he has been physically disabled
or is too old 10 fight.
Mr.. Brazell expects to re-enter high
school next Monday and complete the
commercial course which was inter-
rupted by his going into the army

was to lay down the western frontiers of the new state, in which the de- markation of the frontier as regards Poland received the most attention and experienced the liveliest criticism from the Poles"
 Dr. von Kuehlmann said that with out being too sanguine he believed the country hailed peace with the Ukraine with relief and joy, "as the first step toward restoration of a general peace which we all hope to attain within a measurable time."
 Mean Most to Austria
 As weighty as are the interests in question for us," Dr. won Kuehlmann continued, they are considerably weightier for the dual monarchy. In our case the interests are chiefly ex- ternal; in theirs, in addition to the external. there are momentous inter ests of an internal political nature. The fact that the settlement took the form it did arose from the con- alteration which Dr. von Seydler (the Austrian premier) pointed out yes- terday, namely, the fear that the fur ther screwing back of their claims to the Cholm frontier would have re- suited in the wreckage of the treaty. They would have disapproved most severly, and, think rightly, an action entailing the sacrifice of a peace so
