COAL SITUATION SERIOUS

Every day brings the coal situation
more acute and for time last Monday,
we were all facing condition that
looked for time desperate. Only one
dealer in the city had on that day any
coal at all. ard they only one car.
Fifty empty wagons from every Sec
ton of the county were lined up for
their share Of the black diamonds and
were allowed only ten bushels each.
Several cars are expected in during the
week. but as whole. conditions are
tar more worse than they have ever
beer here before and should the cold
weather continue much suffering will
be experienced by the poor, who have
only been buying it in very small quen'
titles.

REDUCTION, WITH STRING TO IT

In yesterdays Daily Times we pub General Burleson, in which he an nounced a reduction in the rates on telegraphic night messages. which was supposed to win plaudits from the public as something contributing to reduction in the cost of living. How ever MT BurlesOns announcement had a string to it in the form of the proviso that night messages at the reduced rate are to be delivered by letter carriers. If anybody wants the usual delivery. that the telegraph c0mDanicS heretofore have afforded, he must pay the full fast rate" on his message For practical purposes, in business affairs, this is equivalent To an abolition of the night rate, for nobody having in mind what happens to letters in MT. Burleson's mail serv- ice is going to take chances on that kind of delivery. Thus Mir. Burleson. instead of contributing toward q re uhCtlOn Iii the cost Ol ilNiHSr iS HI aii probability adding his quota of in crease. It used to be The public be damned" Now it is The public be humbugged."
 It was shock to every thoughtful citizen to hear that Mir. Burleson had taken over the cable companies, and that at a time when the war was prac- tically, if not technically, over, and there was no conceivable reason why such a seizure should then be made. MT. Burles0n'S reasons. as stated by himself. are in no wise convincing. To the plain citizen it looks like a step to take into governmental hands tn- last of the public services while there was still a right to do so, re gardless of whether that right con formed to the spirit of the law or not The cable service has heretofore been efficient and satisfactory. We shud der to think what Mir. Burleson will make of it. For what purpose does he wish to demOralize the postal tele graph, telephone and cable services Do the people want poor service in stead of good?

necessarily mean that American bat

Interpretation being generally placed

For military reasons the wal de-
partment declined today to say wheth-
err a definite sector has been taken

Casualties resulting from participa-
tion by Americans in a reconnoiter-

or from a chance hit by enemy artil-

10y Leased Wire to New MexIcan.)

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Conferences
today between senate administration
leaders handling President Wilson's
fight against the military committee's
bills to create a war cabinet and
munitions director virtually decided
that reference of the war cabinet
measure to the military committee will
not be opposed. Thus the initial clash
has been avoided.
This plan was decided upon, admin
istration spokesman said, not in fear
that they lacked votes for a test
of strength but to avoid broadening
the chasm with the White House and
to follow usual procedure of legisla-
ton.
Vigorous debate is expected tomor-
row if Chairman Chamberlain carries
out his intention to reply to the presi-
dent. After allowing the war cabinet
bill to go to the military committee,
administration leaders plan to have it
also referred to the naval committee.
The munitions director bill, previously
reported, also is to be sent to the naval
committee. In tomorrow's debate,
Senator Chamberlain's supporters plan
to bring up a broad discussion of army
conditions and the war departments
reorganization.
Senator Chamberlain plans to open
