Bronx Landlords
To Buy Coal Mine

Bronx determined last night to buy or
rent coal mine rather than again on

have waged with their frostnipped ten

decision at the Hunts Point Casino,

ton.
a committee was appointed to con-
slider the advisability of purchasing a
coal mine, capable of supplying the
members of the association with
enough coal to last them through the
coming winter. 1t is the plan Of The
organization to begin stocking early
in May and to fill their cellars so full
that not even the most bitter weathe er
may bring q recurrence of this season S
feuds with tenants.
The association also resolved to APP
peal all cases decided in favor Of ten
ants during the lengthy heat contro-
versy, and to protest to the Board of
Aldermen against pending ordinances
requiring lessees of property to obtain
bonds guaranteeing heat and also pro-
viding that landlords shall attach to

when the anti-aircraft guns began
barking, the people remaining in the

be plainly heard. Sunday night the

who calmly finished their meals and
then quietly waited for the "aIl clear"

returned to their homes.
Large numbers of persons still take
shelter in the subways and other
places, which are better able to resist

While the men stationed at Gov

love-making in the air was perfectly
feasible and delightful, Lieutenant
Npcrry was making arrangements with
the Rev. Edmund Banks Smith, the post
chaplain, for q simple wedding to be
held at O'Clock in the evening.
The Curtiss model, which brought
the couple to matrimony at the rate
OF eighty miles an hour, was tied with
a rope to the steps of the barracks.
The lieutensn Mt and his bride stepped
out of their machine with the non
chalance that good riders display in
dlsmounting from their horses
The two came back to New York
later in the afternoon to tell q few
of their chums that they were going
to get married, and party Of twenty
accompanied them to the island last
night. The friends, thrilled at the

There was little supper later. Then
the friends left for New York. Lieu

on the island as guests of the COM

early this morning. At o'clock they
expect to seek the Parade Grounds,

Only one aeroplanc each night sue

were persons standing on the sidewalk,

Official reports issued to-day said:
Last rights air raid appears to
have been carried out by six or seven
enemy airplanes, of which only one
penetrated into London. The first raid
er passed the Isle Of Thanet at about
9:45 p. M, and proceeded up the
Thames estuary into London, crossing
the capital from southeast to north
west. Bombs were dropped in various
districts between l0:40 and 1885

"The remaining raiders, which at

Poles Fight Le-
nine's Troops

Germany has resumed active war
fare against Russia, says an Off
cial dispatch from Berlin. The
Dvina has been crossed near the
great fortress of Dvinsk. German
troops are advancing from Kovel
to aid the Ukrainians. Stockholm
dispatches say the Baltic provinces
of Livonia and Esthonia are to be
occupied.
In the renewed warfare, says
Vienna dispatch, Germany and
Austria-Hungary have agreed that
the troops of the former shall be
confined to Great Russia (Russia
proper) and of the latter to the
new republic of the Ukraine.
Many delayed dispatches from Rus
sia tell confused tale of disorder
and civil warfare. Petrograd re-
ports Kiev was captured Friday,
February 8. from the Ukrainian
Rada forces by the BoIsheviki, the
casualties being 1000 killed and
1000 injured.
Doubt is cast on this by the fact the
Ukrainian Premier, according to a
telegram by way Of Vienna printed
here Saturday, said fighting for
the city was still raging and going
in the defenders favor.
Odessa was bombarded by warships
Monday, February 4, and hun
dreds were killed in street fight
ing. The Rumanians threaten
Odessa.
Contradictory accounts are received
of the results Of battle between
Bolshevik and Polish troops south
east of Minsk. The Bolsheviki are
making extensive plans to combat
General Alexief,'s Cossacks.
In Petrograd wholesale robbery is
the order of the day. The conflict
between the Bolsheviki and the
Orthodox Church continues.

came through the publication of his
testimony before the House Agricult-
ural Committee in private session last
week and Secretary Houston delivered
his message through the publication of
the departments supplementary crop
production programme Tor 1918.
Comparing the two chapters, i. ap-
pears that if Secretary Houston can
come through with his programme Mr.
Hoover will not be so busy as food
conscrvcr next year as he has been this
Mr.. Hoovers testimony is full of in
tcrcsting and even startling sidelishts
on the food situation. For instance:
The average American ate 10 per
cent more food in 1916 than he did in
1914, which means that, if we can now
return to the plenty of 1914 and sub
st;tutc it for the superabundance of
1917, there will, roughly speaking, be
no difficulty in sparing the Allies all
the food they require.
Allies Eating Less
The average Fronchman and English
man is eating 80 per- cent less.
If we give the Allies all the bread
stuff supplies that they need we shall
have to get along with about 1oo,-
100000 bushels less OF our ordinary
hreadstutf supplies and make it up
chiefly from cornmeal.
The Allies require 50000,000 pounds
of beef from January to July /. Our
ordinary surplus is 100,0o0.0o0 pounds
so we must save 350000,000 pounds
which is only 10 per cent.
The Allies demand 100000, ,00O
pounds of pork and pork products up
TO July /. We can spare them perhaps
a billion pounds. The rest we must
take from our own tables.
The submarines get" to per cent
Of all foodstuffs shipped from America
to Europe. Between February and
February II they sank $4,000 tons OF
wheat.
1t appears from Mr.. Hoover's tcsti-
mony that the shortage of transpor-
tation has bedcviled the distribution
of corps. In the three months ending
with January the railroads supplied
100000 cars less for grain transporta-
tion than in the similar period a year
before.
The transportation failure in respect
to potatoes is even worse. To handle
