Conservation of Coal.

The acute situation in the
coal markets has developed
within the past few weeks to
the extent that the probability
is that many of us will be fore
ed to go back to the old wood
fire before the winter is over.
This will entail an expense OF
taking out the CRATE and buying
a pair of dog irons," getting a
new axe, and return to the
muscular exercise necessary to
get a good and satisfactory
wood fire. The old familiar
grunt with each lick of the axe
will be heard in the back yard
once more and the boy will get
some Of the schooling that his
father was raised on.

bring before our people the
necessity of conserving the coal
supply by all practical means.

coal. The result Of the war

Many Articles Used
in Emergency Rations
for Fightinp Men.

The equipment of no soldier is
complete without emergency food ra-
tions. United States troops r sup
piled with three different parched
maize-meal packets and three chpco-
lates. The former is a revival of the
maize-meal of the American Indians,
on which they could exist for days
while hunting or on the warpath.
The "chain-shot" ration furnished
Belgian, French and Teutonic sol
diers is a winter food of compressed
meat. There are more than a dozen
varieties of compressed teas used by
the Russian comnlissary. Compress
ed rice and macaroni is supplied ORR
entail forces. Oat-bread in sausage
form is used by some OF the North
British troops.
A curious ration is the compressed
fig coffee Of the Central Powers,
which may either be utilized for food
as it is or converted into a coffee-like
drink. Smoke-dried pears are used
in the same armies. The Swiss SOL
der receives an emergency ration
of white chocolate, made entirely OF
cocoa-butter and sugar.
An Italian army chocolate is in
sausage-length form, while their
plum duff goes into a beef mem
brane.

A half ounce of silk is used in
the standard yellow gloves and a
slightly larger quantity in the riding

tate that the total now exceeds ST.
~ 900, according to Executive Sec
Ttetary S. A. Ackley.
Tennessee leads the Southern
States, having subscribed over $400,-
900. Georgia has jumped from fifth
to second place since the December
1st report, with 1851, $50 raised. The
other five states have also over-sub-
scribed their quotas, in the follow
ing order: North Carolina, Alabama,
South Carolina, Mississippi and Flor
ida.
A national increase Of 100000
in subscriptions this month is esti-
mated. s50,153,054 being the coun-
try-wide total previously reported.
This $17,O0o,00O over-subscription
has saved the day for the Army ~"
Before the War Department made
known its additional calls upon the
Red Triangle, it's budget for nine
months ending June 30, 1913, called
for an expenditure Of S35,000,0o0.
1t can be roughly estimated now
that $2O,000,000 of this fund will be
spent for work among enlisted men
in the United States. The Budget
October 1st estimated $11,120,000,
but demands since have nearly doubl-
ed. An equal sum will probably be
spent overseas with the men of the
American army and navy; the orlgl-
nal budget calling for $11,994,00O.
When General Pershing requested
the Army ''Y" to take over the can
teen service in France, an outlay OF
100000 not in the budget was
made necessary.
In France with our boys 1900 sec
retaries will be used. About half
that number was previously estinat-
ed. There are now 500 secretaries
serving French, Italian and Russian
soldiers at the request of their res
pective governments, their numbers
increasing on an average Of 100
monthly. Work in the vast prisoner
of-war camps abroad will require ex-
pending at least 81, 1000, 900 of the

Atlanta headquarters ships over A.
OOO, 900 sheets of writing paper and
half as many envelopes for use in the

Not Involuntary Servitude.

Not Involuntary Servitude.
cit is argued, however, that
although this is .abstractedly
true, it is not ~concretely so be-
cause as compelled military SER
vice is repugnant to a free gov
eminent and in conflict with all
the great guarantees of the con-
stitution as to individual liber-
ty. it must be assumed that the
4 authority to raise armies was
INTENDED to be limited to the
right to call an army into ex-
istence, counting alone upon the
willingness of the citizen to do
his duty in time of public need,
that is, in time of war. But
the premise of this proposition
is so devoid of foundation that
it leaves not even a shadow of
ground upon which to base the
conclusion.
at remains only to consider
contentious which while not dis
putting power, challenge the act
because of. the repugnancy to the
constitution supposed to result
from some of it's provisions.
First, we are of opinion that
the contention that the act
a delegation of federal 6ower
to state officials becagse of it's
administrative featpres is too
wanting in merit to require
further notice.
Second, waftbink that the con-
tentlOn Fiat the statute is void
pecause vesting administrative
orficers with legislative discre
ton has been so completely ad-
versely settled as to require ref
erence only to some of the de-
cided cases. A like conclusion
also adversely disposes of a SIM
liar claim concerning the con-
ferring of judicial power. And
we pass without anything but
statement the proposition that
an establishment of a religion
or an interference with the free
exercise thereof repugnant to
the first amendment resulted
from the exemption clauses Of
the act to which we at the outset
referred because we think its I'M
soundness too apparent to re-
ouire us to do more.
FINALLY, as we are unable to
conceive upon what theory the
~exacticn by government from the
citizen of the performance of his
supreme and noble duty OF con-
tributing to the defense of the
rights and honor of the nation
as the result of a war declared
by the great representative
body of the people can be said to
be the imposition of involun-
tary servitude in violation of the
prohibitions of the thirteenth
amendment, we are constrained
to the conclusion that the con-
tention to that effect is refuted
bv it's mere statement"
