u. S. MARINES DASH
RIGHT OVER HUN GUNS
Lieutenant HOllies, Back From The
Front, Tells OF Bravery OF The
"DeYil Dogs,

How the marines went forward at
Chateau Thierry in the face of wither-
ing machine gun fire and, barehanded,
knocked over the boches' guns is the
story Lieut.. Herman Richard Holljes,
of the marines, brought to Baltimore
yesterday He arrived in the city late
Thursday night from New York, hav-
ing been invalided home from the
front.
Our boys didn't wait for barrage,"
he said. They went over the top yell
ing, and upon reaching the nests of
the enemy just knocked the guns over
with their hands and finished the en-
envy with their bayonets.
They're a dirty lot, those Huns.
They pulled many a mean trick, but
you can bet we have a cure for them.
Quite a number of times we caught
them coming across No Mans Land
with stretchers bearing machine guns.
But our boys soon found a way to
stop them. They now pole-vault the
Hun, using the bayonet as the poles
point and Mr.. Boche as the ground.
lone cannot say too much for the
marines, and l am proud to be one of
them. They are like a big family.
The officers fraternize, and the men
feel perfectly at home anywhere. OF
course, the strictest discipline is OBJ
served; but that serves all alike, as
everyone knows the marines are
versatile lot. But no one, except
those who have seen them in action
at the front, can realize the extent
of their versatility. When the French
heard we were to be relieved they
asked that we be sent back with them
again.
Il saw a funny happening one day;
not so funny for the Huns, however.
We were in the trenches beside an
Italian regiment. Over the top came
the boches, wearing French uniforms.
When the Italians learned the trick
they were so mad they whipped off
their coats and sprang at the enemy
with nothing but bayonets in their
hands, and such a carving as they
dealt. When they got through the
ground was strewn with dead Ger
mans.
Everyone over there, except the
boches-and most of them think like
wise-believes the Allies are going to
win shortly. The boches are glad to
surrender, as evidenced by the capture
of majors, captain and so men by
one of our corporals. He had been
captured and when asked about the
Americans told them that a great
force was preparing to attack that day.
This was at Chate@a ThierTy. That
crowd of Germans Immediately said,
Lead us back with you've sur

SERIOUS SHORTAGE
IN COAL PROBABLE
Much Suffering Likely Unless
The Shipments Are
Speeded Up
ANTHRACITE DIVERTED

Unless coal shipments are speeded
up there will be much suffering in
homes because of lack of anthracite
coal. Although the mine production
so far this year is almost equal to that
of 1917, which was the banner year of
hard-coal production, the diversion of
anthracite from southern points on
water routes which will be frozen up
early in the winter, is so great that
the receipts are not near equal to the
demand.
Approximately one-fourth of the
1888 quota of hard coal has been
received here, the total receipts for
the month of April. May and June
amounting to 17S,000 tons. Coal is
now arriving at the rate of one
twelfth the years quota each month,
but as the orders for delivery now be-
ing held by dealers amount TO 100000
tons and more are coming in every
day, there will be hundreds of families
which will receive very little coal be-
fore winter, and few, if any, will re-
ceive their quota before the winter is
more than half gone.
One thing which will help rush hard
coal into Baltimore as soon as the ne
cessary diversions have ceased is the
fact that the Reading Coal Company,
said to be the largest shipper into that
territory, has been ordered to shorten
its haul by shipping over the Northern
Central direct into Baltimore by way
of Sunbury and York instead of using
the congested lanes into Philadelphia
Not only will the haul be shortened
by thus shipping down the base of the
triangle, of which Philadelphia is the
apex, but the congestion around Phil
adelphia will be avoided, thus expedit-
ing time formerly wasted.
. The Reading mines formerly used
the Reading Railroad, but the taking
over of the railways by the govern
ment permitted the Director General
of Railroads to issue the change in
route orders to the Reading mines and
road
Because of the early freezing of
lakes, canals and other waterways
coal is being rushed to points reached
by water so that consumers in those
sections will not be subjected to ex-
IRENE suffering. The opening weeks
of winter usually being mild at South
ern points, these latter will be among
the last to feel the results of speeding
up movements.
There are 20 shipping companies
now undertaking to supply Balti-
more's anthracite. most of whom are
small concerns. One of them has an
nounced that instead of shipping one
soon will be shipping one-tenth.

Proper Locomotive Signals.

Experiments conducted by the
Southern Pacific railroad to find the
most efficient means of handling the
locomotive whistle show the average
motorist or pedestrian is familiar with
the standard crossing signal-two long
and two short blasts-and that, I'M
less the signal is given just so, he is
apt TO dispute priority right to cross
ing. Superintendent T. Ahern, in a
letter to engineers, says: Extensive
tests show that a whistle call for a
station signal should never be less
than five seconds, the long blasts of
the crossing signal, two and a half
seconds, and the short ones, one sec
ond. Particular care should be ex-
ercised TO cut off the blasts sharply
and not to slur them. 1t is of the ut
most Importance in causing sound to
travel that these instructions be car

HOME OF CEREALS UNKNOWN
History Has No Record of Where Most
important Human Food Had
Its Origin.

The origin of wheat is lost in hoary
antiquity. Even the original home of
the cereal plants of which bread is
being made is not known, all the re-
searches and hypothesis notwithstand-
ing. Where wheat, spelt. rye, barley,
oats, buckwheat, ETC., first offered man
their grainy ears for good is an I'M
solved problem. But that originally
bread was not roasted or baked, but
eaten as dough or paste, may be in-
ferred from its relation with the word
"broth," both of these words being
derived from the root "breowan,"
'bru," TO brew. In all probability 1t
was originally the boiled coarse meal
with nothing added to it but salt. The
leavening and baking of the bread was
a later development. The origin of
these processes is q matter of specula.
ton; but so much is certain that bak-
ing preceded the leavening of the bread
that causes 1t to rise; also that the
original form of the bread was not
the loaf, but kind Of thin, fiat cake
like the matzoths, or unleavened
bread of the Jews, or the tortillas of
the Mexicans. Like these, 1t was prob
ably roasted upon intensely heated fiat
stones.
With the discovery of the leaven the
fiat cake increased in height until 1t
assumed the form of our loaf.

FEAR SHORTAGE OF
FUEL NEXT WINTER
Shipments Far Behind Ratio Figured
As Necessary To Supply
The Section

Increasing demands for coal from
overseas and for the emergency feet,
army, navy and other government
operations threaten seriously the New
England fuel supply for next winter.
Coal shipments 10 New England, il be-
came known Tuesday. are now behind
the schedule figured on the ratio of
needs of the district.
Bituminous coal production in Penn
sylvania, Maryland and West Virginia.
the three States assigned to supply
the New England district, was on July
Is at a ratio of 100000 tons for the
coal year beginning April /, while pro-
duction on that date should have been
at the rate of 100000 tons. Out of
the allotment for New England coal
must come also coal for the emergen-
cy fleet, army, navy and oversee ship
ment Part OF the production from
Ohio fields probably will be diverted
to New England to relieve the situa-
ton.
These facts were brought out at a
conference attended by Bernard Bar
UGH, chairman of the War Industries
Board; Edward n. Hurley. chairman
of the Shipping Board, and represen'
tatives of the Railroad Administration,
in addition to Federal Administrator
Garfield and the New England admin
istrators.
Tentative allotments for New Eng
nf he NY
were considered.
j. ]. Storrow, fuel administrator for
all of New England is said to have
represented that the situation in New
England would not permit any cut
ting of the allotment. This was in. re-
Spouse to a suggestion that his terri
tory had been granted a greater al
lowance than needed.
Chairman Hurley, of the Shipping
Board, and representatives of the rail-
road administration were present TO
devise means to get coal promptly to
New York and New England.
At the Shipping Board it was said
there is no summer coal shortage in
the New England States, but there was
serious shortage in storage coal
which is usually accumulated during
the summer months for the winter.
This is due, it was said, to failure of
the fields to produce coal in sufficient
quantity Empty ships awaiting coal
for New England, it was said, have
BEEN at Hampton Roads for several
weeks, and at one time recently there
were seventeen coal ships there un-
able to get coal for New England
Ships are now awaiting bunker coal
at Baltimore and Norfolk, Shipping
Board officials said The production
in the Eastern field is less than the
figure set by the fuel administration
as necessary. but that in Indiana, IL
linois and Ohio is ahead of the mark
set. The demand for coal by the Ship
ping Board, it was explained, will in
crease with the progress of the emer-
gency fleet building programme.
