PHILADELPHIA, May 29.-Mil- lions of consumers throughout tn, country are experiencing delay in filling orders they placed for alt thracite coal since spring opened. This in spite of the fact that the production now is the greatest in the history of the country. A cir cular issued by the Anthracite Com mittae of the United States Fuel Administration explains the situa- tion. It says:
 Many complaints are being re- ceived from state administrators that buyers of antracite coal cannot ob- tain any satisfactory information relative to their supply from parties with whom they normally conduct their business.
 "One of the producing companies is answering inquiries as follows. 'To secure the most equitable dis tribution of anthracite coal and to provide the greatest satisfaction dur ing the coming year, t has been ar ranged by the Anthracite Committee that the dealers shall secure their coal from the sources of supplies that furnished it during the coal year of 1916-1917.

 The boys also plan to have a flower garden in connection with the cultivation of the more serious vege- tables and the matter of posies was left to Glen Dickonson, on account of him being chief cook and being more acquainted with Hours. Glen says that hard and soft wheat are the only kinds that he knows of and "opines" that they raise faster in hot cakes than in gardens, so he declines to be the goat or Luther Burbank fer the bouquet lovers.
 Eckerson says that if the garden wasn't so close to Jim Hagan's, he would plant hops and raise a few smiles, but safety first" Bill Growden will plant one corner of the garden with tobacco and the other with cigarette papers, and is all jake for the summer. Dickenson suggested that he raise some matches too, and quit bumming the necessary vestas.
 So far the chief has not expressed himelf in regards to the new enter i prise beyond merely stating that he didn't care what they planted in their ! censored !! garden, as long as it was something to eat.

YANKEE TROOPS WITNESS BOUTS
 OF ARMY STYLE

ALDERSHOT, England, April SG. American soldiers encamped in this district had an object lesson in the conduct of big boxing match here few days ago when they were in- vited to be the guests of he British soldiers at a program os fourteen contests between representatives of the Aldershot Command and the Southern Command of the British army.
 The headlines of the tournament included about half of the best box CTS in England, now all in khaki. Among them were Sergeant Jimmy Wilde, Sergeant Rolph of the Can | adians, Sid Burns, Corporal Billy Fullerton, and several others whose names were well known at the Ma tional Sporting club in the pre-war days.
 There were no purses, he prizes being simple silver and bronze medals worth about S5 each. Had the com petition taken place at a London arena and been open to the public, the program would have been worth about S25,000 to the promoters. 8ut the public was not admitted, and the price of admission to the soldier spectators ranged from twelve eerts to one dollar. The latter amount corresponded to the $50 seats in the old days of the National Sporting club in London.
 There was an enormous attend ance of officers and men, together with a great many soldiers families. It was probably the first time in tne history of the ring in which men, women and children attended match of championship.
 Despite the keenness of the fight ing, there was only one bout in which any blood flowed The majority of the men taking part were so physi- cally fit, owing to their military training that they were able to stand punishment with degree of forti- punishmen with a degree of forti- tude seldom seen in professional boxing meetings.
 An impressive feature of the en- tire competition, from the stand point of the American spectators, was the scrupulously strict and fair refereeing. Holding and clinching were stopped immediately, one warn ing only being given. Any pair who stood up and engaged in shadow fighting" also received a first-and last caution. There were four teen contests altogether, each of six rounds. The Aldershot Command won the meet, taking thirteen of I the fourteen evnts. .-
 Commander Walcott, head of the American branch of the British Ad- i miralty Intelligence Department in London, was the chief referee.
