the United States must be prepared
for fresh attacks at new points if
the Teutons fail to achieve victory in

the enemy has been unable to force

they have shown during the engage

victory elude the enemy"
The placing of American resources

announces that such of our troops

The review also mentions that

DEALERS ACCEPT
ORDERS FOR COAL
FOR NEXT WINTER
Little Fuel in City Now, But
Much Is Expected Dur

NEW PRICELIST IS MADE
Increased Costs Send Up
Price Per Ton, Retail
erS Declare

With the supply of coal greatly
limited. city coal dealers to-day be-
gan taking orders for next winters
coal. BY an order of Fuel Admins
traitor Garfield, citizens are permitted
TO begin huying their fuel supply for
the winter on and after April l. Many
of the coal dealers report an increase
in the number of orders, but very
few of them are prepared TO fill these
orders.
According to reports from several
of the city's big dealers their bins
are practically empty of coal but
nevertheless they are booking orders
with the expectation of receiving coal
from the mines in a short time. No
definite time has been set for the
opening of the central coal ordering
office. although some dealers think
it will open this week. This matter
is in the hands of the county fuel
administrator.
Prices this year for all grades of
coal are higher than asked a year ago
although slightly lower than charged
a week ago. This recent decrease was
ordered by the fuel administrator.
BY orders from the President in
creasing the price of coal from the
operators and levying a tax on fuel
by increased freight rates and high
er wages paid to all kinds of labor,
the price of coal was increased heaY-
lily over those of April /, 1917.
According to an announcement of
the federal administrator every ef-
fort will be made to supply the peo-
pie of PENNSYLVANIA and other east
ern states with fuel during the sum
mer months in order that another
! fuel shortage such as gripped the
country last winter will be eliminat-
ed. Local dealers are anXiously await
ing any order of Mr.. Garfield oil
State Administrator Potter, which
will increase the number of cars
coming into the city.
