TENNESSEE E-kENTUCKY
MINES OPERATE SUNDAY

Knoxville, Jan. 19.-In response to an
appeal from coal operators in East
Tennessee and Southeastern Kentucky
it is expected that the majority of the
$4,000 to $4,000 miners in this section
will work eight hours on Sunday. This.
it is estimated, will produce about
$4,000 to $4,000 tons of coal. with which
to relieve the fuel shortage situation.
The local fuel administrator today
announced that 100 carloads of coal,
aggregating about 4500 tons, had been
ordered diverted to this city to re-
lieve the domestic shortage primarily.
This will be distributed among the
local dealers by official order of the ad-
ministrator. None of this coal Will be
furnished local dealers operating their
own mines. Much suffering and desti-
tuition are reported due to lack of fuel.
No additional industries were reported
closed today. Due to the hydro cleo
trio power being predominant here the
local industrial shut down has not
been as universal as in cities without
water power electricity

stated Saturday to a representative of
/ The News at Washington that provi-
sion had been quietly made for i'm
portant and immediate improvement of
post hospital facilities. This informa-
ton also was given to the senate COM
mittee on military affairs.
Construction Of certain number
of additional buildings" for the ac-
commodation of nurses at the post hos

thorized by the war department. The
buildings are to be both brick and
frame, but the information on the sub
ject furnished The News from its
Washington correspondent does not
give the number nor size of the build
ings to be erected.
Acting on a report from Brig. Gen.
James b. Erwin, commanding officer
of the post, the quartermaster's de-
partment is busy on plans for the
erection of the new quarters for the
nurses.

at Washington Saturday. where the
statement was made that the report
urging the increases in hospital facili-

and other improvements, was made two
weeks ago.
Belief that this may mean the fur
ther construction of buildings for gen.
eral hospital purposes. enlarging the
quarters of the post hospital was pre-
valent following this announcement
from the Office of Gen. MacCain,
though it was denied that the war de-
partment has under consideration the
changing of the quarters to a general
hospital.
Whether these new buildins will be
constructed by the contracting firm of
Snare & Triest which built the can
tonments at Chickamauga park, or by
some local firm of contractors, could
not be ascertained at the post Satur-
day, though there have been unofficial
reports for several days that Snare &

here to complete new wor.: that has

DESPITE RULING WOOD
USED BY MANY PLANTS

jackson. Miss. Jan. 19.-Despite the
fuel administration ruling against the
use OF wood, many of the lumber man.
ufacturing plants in south Mississippi
are still in operation. claiming that as
they use the refuse from their own
mills, including sawdust and slabs,
they are not vic iating the purpose of
the general closing order. About 65
per cent of the plants were in full
operation yesterday and resumed work
this morning.
One of the complications resulting
from DR.. Garfield's order developed to-
day in a serious congestion of car
loads of lumber at milling transit
points where planning mills closed
down. and sidings are filed to over
flowing with cars.

MOVING TOWARD
FINAL RUPTURE

London, Jan. 15.-Further dispatches
from both the German and Russian
sides regarding the negotiations at
Brest- Litovsk indicate that the dis
cussion on Wednesday turned largely
on the question Of the conditions to be
recognized in dsposine of Poland,
Lithuania and CourIand. Or. Won
KuehImann, the German foreign secre-
tary, said in effect that his govern
ment was willing to permit the peoples
of the territories occupied by German
and Austrio Hungarian troops to vote
in regard to their political future, such
vote to be taken not later than one
year after the conclusion of a general
peace.
According to the Russian version,
Leon Trotzky, bolshevik foreign min.
lister, attempted to obtain a clear state
ment whether the voting would be pre-
ceded by evacuation of those terri
tories by the German armies. After
several attempts to evade a direct re-
ply, DR.. Won Kuehlmann declared that
Germany could not undertake any OBJ
legation regarding withdrawal of the
armies.

Nashville, Jan. 19.-Orders were
issued today that all public schools
in the state close for three weeks
in order to save fuel. The order
was issued by State Superintend-

provaI of Fuel Administrator
Myer. It is effective Monday,
Jan. 21 The order does not ap-
ply to the state university nor to
normal schools, but only to city

Mr.. SherriI's action is more in
the nature of a request than an
order, but it will without doubt be
observed by the heads of all city
and county schools. The letters
making the request state that it
may be found advisable to extend
the period more than three weeks
ifs the weather continues very Sc
vere at the end of that time.
County schools using wood for
fuel are not asked to close.
