For the second time within three days the gas supplied to sou Invest Arkansas from the Caddo, Louisiana gas fields failed yesterday through a washout in the high waters near the Louisiana state line, and there was a general movement over the city to| convert to the wood or coal systems for heating and for cookiust
 General Manager billion of the To- cal company, which depends on the Arkansas Gas Company for it's supply, received his first word of the break shortly after noon. and immediately took off all the big consumers, so that the supply would last in the homes and with the small consumers until after the supper hour.
 Also as wide publicity was given the fact as was possible at that hour, so that the home users could cook up in advance as well as possible 10 tde them over until the gas break may be mended
 There was general rush on the wood and coal surply houses for fuel Deliveries were impCssible on ac- count of the rush, and many carried their stoves and fuel home in auto mobiles, or any way they could ge, 1t transported 1t was no unusual sight late in the afternoon to see an auto mobile with small stove and pipe pill l cd up over the rear seats.
 The second failure of the gas wiJh- 1 in so soon a time was occasioned b} the same overfldW that carried out the first break in the lines The break is in the Sulphur R yer region a small stream under normal conditions but which is out of it's banks lt was reported to Mir Dillon that the s"ol- | len waters were at one tune six feet over the broken gas mans.
 When the break is repaired the pressure in the mains will have to have time to reach this city from the border of the state, and in the mean while due announcement will be made of when the gas $ to be turned on here
 The greatest of precau.tion is urg- cd by the local supply company in the matter or shutting eff the gas pipes. In enc house Wednesday morning, the company found where pipe had been left open and the Kitchen was filled with gas An accident mat would have proved fatal might have ocrurred 1t is easy to provide against the accidents today by seeing that all cocks are closed, and then leave | them closed until the gas is cn.
 The criticism against the local com pany for not Installing some kind Of a storage here is untimely as inyesti- gation has proved 1t is sad that no tank was ever made that would con- tain sufficient supply of gas for this city for a 24 hour perod The large containers, such as were used III the days of natural gas, and small supply. would contain perhaps 300 A00 feet.

BIG CHANGES
Director General McAdoo
Told of Good Work by
c. H. Markham
By Associated Pyess

washington, Aug. 13.-Marked i'm
proVement in transportation condi-
tiohs In the Allegheny region since
june l. is claimed by Regional Direc-
tor c. II. Markham. in a report to
director General McAdoo. made pub
TIC yesterday. The region includes
the Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsyl-
Vania. east of Pittsburgh. Philadel-
phfa and Reading. Western Maryland.
Bessemer and Lake Erie, Pittsburgh
and Lake Erie. Central of New Jer-
sey and other big coal-carrying roads.
Car Supply Good
During June and July the car sup
ply was generally good and met the
demand" said Mr.. Markham. This
statement tends to dispute the claim
OF the Fuel Administration that car
shortage is responsible for reduction
of coal production below the desired
record.
Freight traffic, considering vol
ume, added Mr.. Markham, moved
with reasonable promptness. There
was no congestion, as the movement
or business to the larger industrial
centers and for export is controlled
by permits. The embargo against
lumber from the South has been re-
moved, except as to points on the
seaboard between Washington and
Jersey City, where it is moved on per-
mits."

rectors of the Harrisburg Civic Club,

hanna, at Front and North streets, to
tbe soldiers and sailors of the city and

Baker Holds Out Hope
For Missing State Boys

Washington, Aug. 1S.-Secretary
Baker said yesterday his department
had not been informed of the causes
for the relatively large numbers of
Pennsylvanians reported missing in
action" in the Aisne-Marne fighting.
Secretary Baker said IL the men
are in the hands of the enemy it
would indicate their companies had
become separated from the maiu
bodies of the division or the force
with which they were operating.
He added:
''But it Is entirely probable some
OF these men reported missing may
have been wounded and taken to
French hospitals"
1t requires considerable checking
up after engagements such as that
in which the Twenty-ei Divi-
sion participated before a mans
status is fixed accurately.

Soft Coal Production
Shows More Improvement

Soft coal production in the Central
Pennsylvania district is about all that
could be expected. According to the
statement>of an operator yesterday,
the mines are getting all the cars
they can use. and the effects are be-
ing seen in tonnage shipped This par
ticular mine reported that although
its supply of miners was cut to about
half of 1918 is some $4,000 or 10000
rolls last year, tonnage for the first
halt OF 1918 iss ONE $4,000 or 10000
tons ahead of the corresponding
period of 1917. Better car supply is
the largest factor in this increase,
though the per capita output of the
miners has increased. which is ma
tural when work is steady.
