the only recourse that Mexican laws
concede is when the laws themselves

The Mexican Government Is sure
that the Government OF his Majesty
would not permit diplomatic protests

Guy Empey who is taking "A vacation

Torrance of "Over the Top" and de-
clared that he never made any remark
derogatory TO the drafted men.
He brands the report as pro-German
propaganda and IS going to fight it from
now on because he has always believed
in the draft army. He explained that
he did not lose his Captains commission
by reason OF any remark. but had been
notified that under a new ruling of the
War Department no Captains could be
appointed from civil life and he was
therefore honorably discharged,
Empey Is waiting to get into the tank

anxiety to set the country right on his

Special Despatch TO THE suS


WASHINGTON, Aug. IA. - Shortage IN
the supply Of electric power throughout
the country may result soon In curtai'-
ment orders from the War Industries
Board and the Fuel Administration
against its use for non-war and non-es-
sential purposes. Restrictions against
the unnecessary use OF lights in house
holds, office buildings and apartment
houses as we'll az in street lghtins are
considered possible before winter
In some sections of the country the
output of war materials has already
been jeopardized BY the power shortage.
with the shortage OF coal continuing
throughout the spring and summer
months and the prospect OF much
greater shortage during the winter, many
Industries have been turned to the use
of electric power instead of coal The
demand for electricity In many lndus-
trial centres, where large quantities OF
war supplies are being turned out, has
already become 50 large that otiicials
here are earnestly seeking remedy for
the condition.
New power plants, including boilers,
engines and electric generating machin-
cry are needed in such quantities that II
is probable the War Industries Board
will adopt special measures to Increase
the output.
The authority which the present laws
confer upon the War Industries Board
and the Fuel Administration to deal
with the situation Is considered made
oua,e by officials in DR.. Garfeld's Of
fee to meet the emergency. and one OF
the FIRST steps is expected to be that OF
asking Congress to confer additional
powers on or both Of them to cope with
the problem.
Officials of the War Industries Board
engaged to-day In n conference over the
measures which would be asked at the
hands of Congress TO enlarge and in-
crease the authority OF the board to
curtail and control the amount OF power
