COAL IS
0BTAINABLElN
SMALL AMOUNTS
Two-thirds Of Last Years
Supply Will be Given
This Year.

The fuel dealers in the city are still
figuring over the fuel situation for the
coming winter. 1t was reported atone
time that hard coal would be unob-
ta1nable. Local dealers have been mott
fed by the fuel administrator that 80
per cent of last years supply will be
shipped in this year.
Up to date considerably less than
the anticipated amount has been re-
ceived and, all coal obtained is sent
out Immediately on its arrival.
At the present time hard coal may
be obtained In but small quantities.
This is due to the fact that the dealer
is able to receive it only in small
quantities. Coal dealers are anxious
that residents receive a Sufficient
amount and are doing everything
possible to get coal shipped in.
Too much fuel Is used by the ma
jority of people, according to one
dealer. Houses are kept too warm.
Furnaces are allowed to become over
heated, frequently necessitating the
opening of the entire house to even
the Temperature. Considerable fuel is
wasted in the ashes. If the ashes are
sifted each time, an extra. shovelful
of coal may he had for. little trouble.

announcement today:
1.-THE local Liberty Loan committee
wishes to notify the people that the
Fourth Liberty loan will come on

six billions whereas the third loan
was for three billions. The quota, for

did previously. Then many who did
not buy at all must plan to take at
least bond. Everybody will be
expected to help. Crops, are good.
work Is plentiful, wages are good. the
boys in France are acquitting them
selves nobly, SO it will be UP to the
patriotic citizens Of East Grand Forks
to buy bonds and then buy ON
more until all the government asks
for is paid in. The boys have given
all; we a give all, too. If necessary

Counter Action Useless.

With the American Army on the
Vesle, Monday, Aug. 12.-(By the
Associated Press. 1.-The Germans di-
rected counter actions against the
Franco-American line between Sois-
sons and Rheims today but without
bringing any change in the situation.
Nor did the enemy reveal any inten-
tien of an immediate attempt to re-
cover any portion of the territory lost
north-of the Marine. At no point was
a hard blow delivered. The guns on
either side, however, were seldom
silent and at many places, especially
in the neighborhood of Fismette.
north Of Ffsmes, where the opposing
lines are close, the Germans repeat
edly raked the American positions
with machine gun, fire.
1t is quite possible that the German
crown prince may decide upon a
counter attack on a big scale in that
sector. but such action would neces-
state the bringing up of divisions
which presumably are badly needed
on the British front and at other
points
On the other hand. the Germans
are now in such positions along the

Furious Attempt to Hold Ground.
Paris, Aug. 13.-The furious
counter attacks which the Germans
continued to launch yesterday are
J attributed here to their imperative
need of holding the Chaulnes-Roye-
INoyon line, the loss of which would
amount to disaster to them. The
counter attacks were all broken al
though the enemy had reached
ground with which he was perfectly
familiar in previous fighting and was
occupying a line which gave him
good holding ground because of the
old defenses there.

The following cablegram was sent

made by the French Government en-
dorsing the British Declaration fav-
oring a Jewish national homeland
in Palestine:
"The Provisional Zionist Commit
tee of America greets with JOY and
satisfaction the declaration made by
the French Government joining with
the British Government in favor of
establishing a Jewish homeland in
Palestine. This act is in accord with
the spirit of freedom and justice that
has always animated the French
Republic. In days when individual
liberty was denied to the Jews in all
lands, France was among the first
to recognize the equality OF man and
hence the civic rights of the Jews,
and to-day, in agreement with its
Allies, France again speaks the word
of liberation, this time to oppressed
smaller nationalities. On the eve
of the fulflment of our two thou
sand years old hope, the Jewish peo-
pie turn in gratitude and apprecia-
ton to the Government Of the
French people, which, like itself has
ever upheld the ideal and hope Of
human freedom, brotherhood, and
justice"

East Side High Finds
Barringer Easy to Beat

The East Side High School captured
the interscholastic football champion-
ship of the city OF Newark by defeat
ing the Barringer High School eleven
at Harrison Field, Newark, yesterday by
score of 19 to 0. The big score sur
prised even the East Side players, as
they expected one Of the hardest bat
ties OF the season.
1t was the more finished attack and
trick plays of the victors that enabled
them to defeat their city rivals. East
Side had not lost one game of the eight
played this season, and the victory
boosted its record one match higher
Old football predominated on boil,
sides. but open formations and forward
passes. INDUCED in at times by both
elevens, tended TO enliven the game.
Barringer's hopes for victory over
its rivals were fairly crushed in the
first hall, when the East Side attack
retted two touchdowns. Both Of these
were accomplished by Benkert on a
drive through the line after the East
Side backfield had forced the ball down
the field for many first downs.
Barringer braced brilliantly there.
after and during the next two periods
more than held its own with East Side
