CAMPAIGN FOR $50, ,Ooo, 100000
JANUARY 12-19TH, 1919.
For the Relief of Refugees in West
ern Asia.

The reports of increased need,
death by starvation, suffering from
famine and pe-tilence has led to g
new survey of conditions in the
Eastern War Zone. The American
Committee for Armenian and Syrian
Relief have been attempting since
October. 1915, to provide the means
of livelihood for the subject of the
Ottoman Empire, the refugees of
the Russian Caucasus, Mesopotamia.
Persia and Palestine.
The present situation has beer
summarized by a committee of
which James L. Barton, Ambassador
Elkus, Henry Morgenthau, Charles
E. Hughes, William Howard Taft,
Cleveland H. Dodge, Samuel T. Dut-
ton. w. w. Peet, and many other
prominent men are members, from
the reports of returned mission
aries, physicians, teachers, business
men. and the files of the Department
of state. After careful considers
ton of the report, the American
Committee for Armenian and Syrian
Relief, to be incorporated as the
American Committee for Relief IN
the Near East, is making prepara-
tions for an organized nation vice
campaign, Jan. 12-19th for $30,00O.-
100000 to meet the immediate needs
for relief in Western Asia.
Report:
In representing this estimate we
include only those refugees who are
reported to be mmediately accessi-
BILE, multitudes of them perishing
daily and all of whom might be
saved were resources adequate. IL
making this estimate we have fixed
the smallest sum that can be consiG-
cred as approximately sufficient to
keep the. breath of life in the bodies
Of these homeless, helpless, starving
masses,-who are. dependent upon
the American Committee for Relief
in the Near East to save from In,
evitable death. We place this
amount at five dollars month, sew
enteen cents a day for each person.
Assuming this basis for working

we record the number of accessible

ports of the relief agents in the diff

COMMUNITY AGREES
TO CONSERVE WOOL

One whole community in Iowa has
pledged during the remainder of the
war to conserve clothing in every
possible way, especially wool, by not
buying new coats, suits, sweaters,
and dresses unless absolutely neces-
sary. The home demonstration agent
who reports the fact to the United
States Department of Agriculture
had pointed out to the community
the necessity of making the limited
wool supply go Jas far as possible
toward meeting war needs. -

The introduction of the principle
of even car supply will reduce the
general average overhead of inc OPP
Grafton, thereby justifying the cad
ministration in putting out a price
reduction order. 1t is understood
that the mine prices thus fixed will
remain undisturbed until the United
States Fuel Administrator has before
him the cost returns for the twelve
months ending August 81, 1918. The
returns thus far are being carefully
studied by Fuel Administration &C
countants and engineers with view
to making the utmost saving to the
public that is consistent with a
maximum production Of coal.
The order will have no effect on
the price of anthracite coal which
forms the bulk of the domestic con-

the country.
Consumers of bituminous coal who
have already entered their orders for
the years coal supply, but whose
coal has not yet been delivered, will,
of course, receive their supplies at
the reduced price. The new price ap-

for the delivery of the coal has been

Plenty of Tires For
Actual Requirements

Asked regarding Government re
strictions on the importation OF
rubber, and the endeavor of tire
manufacturers in cooperation with
the Government to restrict the man
ufacture of unnecessary tire sizes, Mr..
]. c. Weston, vice-president and di-
rector of sales of the United States
Tire Company. said:
THE intention of the Government
in the control and restriction of the
importation of rubber is to conserve
shipping space, and the program that
has been laid before the manufac-
turers of rubber goods has won their
unanimous support for the War
Trade Board and the Shipping Board
I'm addition, the manufacturers of
tires are heartily cooperating with
the Government porgram for the
eventual elimination of unnecessary
tire sizes. This elimination will
simplify the problem for each user
of the motor car of reducing his cost
and making it possible for MIN to Sc
cure the tire size he needs, in good
tires, more readily than the market
and manufacturing conditions now
permit.
plans for the withdrawal of GER
tain tire sizes from use by manufac-
turers of motor cars will not in any
way interfere with the manufacture
and distribution of the tires to users
who need those paticular sizes at any
time"
Mr.. Weston was very insistent in
his statement that there is nothing
in the present or probable future
situation to occasion the slightest APP
prehension of a shortage of tires for
legitimate use.
However, there never was a
time" he said, when users of motor
cars could so we'll serve the nation
as by making the most of their cars
in legitimate commercial and pas
senger service and refusing to hoard
or unnecessarily anticipate their
needs in tires or other motor car
supplies"
Mr.. Weston called attention to
the fact that the Government has
not at the present time imposed any
restrictions on the use of motor cars
by the automobilists of the country,
but has relied OF the patriotism of
the car owners to exercise a proper
discretion in the use of their vehi-
cles, with a view to conserving their
cars and tires. Mr.. Weston is of the
opinion that the motorists of the
country can be trusted to cut down
mere pleasure-riding to a minimum
and to take every possible step to
save tires, oil and gasoline.

Bituminous Coal Prices
Reduced Ten Cents

Washington, D. c., May 30.--Ten
cents a short ton has been stricken
from the mine price of all bitumi-
nous coal in the United States by or
der of Fuel Administrator H. A.
Garfield The new price took effect
at seven O'Clock Saturday morning,
May 25th, and represents an aver
age reduction Of nearly five per cent.
The order reads as follows:

Executive Order of the President,
dated August 30. 1917, appointing
said Administrator and of subse
quent Executive Orders and in fur
therance of said Orders and of the
Act of Congress therein referred to
and approved August 10, 1917,
Hereby orders and directs that all
prices for bituminous coal f. o. b.
mines III the coal-producing districts
throughout the United States fixed by
the said Executive Order of the
President, dated August 81, 1917,
and subsequent orders of the United

May, 1918, shall be and the same
hereby are reduced as to all ship
ments made after a. m. Oh the 25th
day of May, 1918, by the sum of ten
cents for each net ton of 1000 lbs.
This order shall in no way affect
the increase contained in the EXecu
tive Order of the President, dated
October 81, 1917, adding the sum of
forty-five cents to the prices fixed for
bituminous coal under the terms and
fnrth in cold 10 CT
toned order"
The reduction will mean an an
nual saving to consumers of sum es
timated by the Fuel administration
at S6O,G0O,000 The President has
directed that the railroads pay the
Government price for coal The in
creased cost Of railroad fuel thereby
occasioned is also estimated at 500
600, 900 per annum. The reduction
of ten cents per ton on ali coal will,
however, reduce the net increased
cost to the railroads from $50, 000,-
900 per annum to $45,00O,000 per
annum Under the Presidents plan,
the railroads will furnish cars to all
coal mines alike, without discrimi
nation, except as dictated by the
prior requirements of the railroads
for operating purposes and the needs
of domestic consumers and of the
war.
Under the present war demands,
the maximum output of every mine
working at full time would still be
insufficient to meet the country's coal
needs. The principle of equal car
supply has accordingly been adopted
so as to make for as steady an OPP
GRAFTON as possible of all properties,

SLAVS ARE NOT "MYSTERIOUS"

turtles Behind Ours, Says Writer
in Magazine.

used to see a good deal of a Swede
in Petrograd who lived with his Rus
sian wife in a little inside tenement
over in the Viborg quarter and wrote
long and very erudite articles in mi
crOScOpic lOng-hand for a Stockholm So
cialist newspaper, Arthur Ruhl writes
in Golfers Weekly. A social demo-
crat himself, in the bewildering shift
ing of political values, he had become
almost conservative. Realism was his
strong point, and he never tired of smil
ing satirically at western attempts to
explain the mysterious RusSian-eSpe-
cially attempts after the manner of
Stephen Graham, always so much more
Russian than the Russians themselves.
Mysterious, mysticism, separate
destiny for the Slavs,'" he would quote
satirically. "All foolishness There's
nothing mysterious about Russia-its
merely four centuries difference in CIV
ilization-that's ALL"
There was something at least, in
what he said. Tolstoy's nonresistance
md his final remuneration of everything
to go out into the winter night to meet
his God; there was something of race
in this and not mere personal idiosyn-
craSy-something more in the air of
this half-oriental land than it is in
ours. Yet westerners often do forget,
when considering Russia, that its vast
uneducated majority are closer perhaps
to the material life, the superstitions
0n6 nrojndinos of tho Sivfnnnfh
fury, than to our own. When Shakes
peare, borrowing for his Roman mobs
the crowds he saw about him in Eliza
bethan London, described their lice
and louttshness, and how they threw
their greasy caps in air." was he not
looking at a person in very much the
same stage of historical development
as the Russian peasant of 1917?
All these things must be remember
ed in picturing day-to-day conditions in
Moscow or Petrograd. An officer at
the front or an unpopular land owner
in some remote country house literally
doesn't know what may happen to him
before morning. But for most people
life goes on amazingly the same. Chill
dren go to school, pOstmen deliver let
tiers, the theater and opera run on as
usual and people sit about their samo-
vars talking until all hours in the ge.
NAL Russian fashion.
You must not imagine Petrograd in
terms of stage pictures of Paris during
the terror or imagine that the tOva.
rishi carry on a revolution as it might
be carried on in Liverpool or Manches-
ter or Pittsburgh or Chicago.
