Hun Preposterousness

Perhaps the of German preposterousness was
reached the giving out by the German admiralty of n
statement denying that Hun submarine topedoed and sank
the Canadian hospital ship landovery Castle.

may be attributed to n British NINE says Berlin.
And this despite the fact that several survivors of the
Landovery Castle taken aboard the submarine and in
terrogaed including among them the captain and second Of
fcer of the hospital ship despite the fact that the submarine
cruised amid the wreckage, apparently intent sinking
without trace despite the fact that conversation took
place between the Uboa commander and the captain OF
the hospital ship,
There can be but explanation of such internal and

There is weak defense of the sinking Of the Liam

Among these those brave souls who every day toll

There is martial music to quicken their steps and
medals of honor for them But danger is present and
death turks them.

Definite prices of coal for the consum-

in Philadelphia April by the fuel ad-
ministration, which will set a reduc-
tion OF fifty cents a ton tor April. forty

Washington dispatches
Although Washington urges that next
winters supply be laid In now. Francis
A. Lewis administrator for Philadelphia,
has ordered dealers not to supply house
holders with more fuel than they actually
need, between now and April /.
He based this order on the ground
that If blizzard should strike Phila-
delpha during this month with fuel
stocks low because OF many reserve
orders having been filled, much suffer
Ing and a repetition of this winters
scarcity would ensue
Blanks must be filled with each order,
stating details Of last years consumption
and OF this years requirements. These
viii be filed at a central office or eX-
change, and will constitute a complete
card index system OF the needs of every
house and the amount Of coal received
up to any particular date. Before an
order Is filed 1t must be passed by the
administration. Where person at.
tempts to order from two dealers the
card index will expose the fact, and
but one dealer will be allowed TO deliver
Secretary Sheldon, of the fuel commit
tee, will serve as head of the indexinl
