GERMAN REINFoRcEMENTs
PREPARE TO MAKE STAND

By Fred Ferguson. With the Amer
lean Army in France, July 24.-Bitter
est fighting is in progress north OF
Jaulgonne, where the Americans are
enlarging their bridge head. The
Allies continue to press northward
along the main road from Chateau
Thierry to Fere-en-Tardenois, harry
ing the enemy's retirement. They have
captured the Marie farm.
The American troops, guns and sup
ply trains continue to pour across the
Marine, with everyone in the highest
spirits despite the fact that they are
compelled to snatch their food and
rest while on the run
The german movement has been
practically halted in the Rheims Sois-
sons salient, and it is believed that
with the fresh reinforcements that
have arrived. the germans are prepar-

pushing on meter by meter. Even
If the germans succeed in bringing in
enough reinforcements to stop their

far more than was planned when they

The important features of this plan
are; First, censorship of every order
for coal received by any dealer: each
order being compared with a figure
obtained by very simple, yet effective,
formulas, showing the rating of the
house where the coal is to be used.
Second. actual inspection of all
doubtful cases and a checking up thru
inspectors of statements made by the
householders as to the coal on hand.
the space to be heated and the heating
system employed.
Third, an effective refusal to furnish
any householder more coal than a sci
entific analysis shows is necessary
if the requisite care is taken in the
heating Of the house. Under this sys-
tenn surplus coal will be refused.
All consumers who have obtained a
lotments, or who by deceit or mis-
representation have violated any rules
and regulations of the Fuel Admin
istration will be prosecuted.
This system will be drastic and will
introduce conditions new to the coun-
try 1t will be no more drastic, how
ever. than conditions demand in the
interest of all concerned. No one
will be deprived of coal actually need
ed for heating; but no one will be al

With shortage of coal confronting

detailed regulations that a necessary
supply can be insured to all. To de-

the necessity and the reason for this
