SEES CATASTROPHE
IN COAL SHORTAGE
P. S. Noyes Of Fuel Admins
tration Says Pershing's
Needs Are Jeopardized.
NOT ENOUGH STEEL MADE
Lack of It May Cost Thousands
of American Soldiers
Lives.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 1o.-Failure to pro-
duce and conserve the coal necessary for
the manufacture OF vast quantities OF
munitions needed by Gen. Pershing' 8
army in the final drive against the Ger
man forces will mean the sacrihce OF
, ousands Of American youths on the
field of battle, p. b. Noyes, director OF
conservation OF the Fuel Administration,
said in an address here to-day before
the Association Of Stationary Engineers.
In such an emergency, with success
depending upon steel and steel depending
upon coal, Mr.. Noyes said he was conf
dent no man would spare himself either
labor to save the last pound OF waste or
any sacrifice involved in devoting the
fuel and material vitality essential In
carrying out the army programme over

Mr.. Noyes said IL every business inter

Washington there '.ould be no need OF
regulations for conserving the coal sup
ply. only directions.
I'VE are facing a catastrophe as
serted Mr.. Noyes. 1T Is not one OF
those catastrophes which make such
n noise that every one knows when they
happen. 1t Is n silent tragedy. We
cannot fill Pershing's orders In full be-
cause the United States cannot make
sufficient steel this winter. A shortage
in steel results almost entirely from
lack OF coal.
Keep this in mind and then look
forward to the events of the coming
spring. We shall have the drive. We
shall succeed In 1t. but some time In
February or March, or whenever the
time has come, Gen. Pershing will sit
down with a pencil In hand, and will
figure up the exact deficit in the filling
Of his orders for munitions
with military formulas now wei
recognized. he will figure in place OF
those munitions how many extra mer
must be put into the battle to be killed
This Is no fanciful statement. II Is nov

BUTTER BROKERS TO
SEEK MORE PROFIT
Committee Will Visit Wash.
in9ton to Ask Rule Change.

Cyrus c. Miller, director OF transpor-
tation and distribution OF the State Food
Commission. conferred yesterday with
members Of the New York Mercantile
Exchange on 1.-THE buttermen's protest
against the margin of profit allowed
them on transactions in storage butter.
The merchants argued they could not
make a decent living unless the margin
Is increased.
Mr.. Miller advised the merchants IL
was useless to find fault with the Gov
eminent and suggested they send a com
nlttee to Washington with facts and
figures to demonstrate to the Food Ad-
ministration officials the accuracy OF
their contention that there should be a
modification OF the rules.
Such a committee will Join other COM
mittees OF buttermen from Boston.

the capital to-day.
The local butter dealers have taken
exception to the Governments action in
communicating so per cent. OF all stocks
of cold storage butter in excess OF 49,
600 pounds but there has been no formal
protest.
An acute situation in the market has
been produced because Uncle Sam has
reached out for such large supplies OF
butter for the army and navy and the
price has advanced ) cents a pound in a
few days.
The handlers are willing to let the
Government have all the butter /,
! wishes, but they feel they ought to re.
ceive a profit that will permit them "to
make a living" When such a large
amount is taken out OF the market for
Government purposes the public demand
for the small amount that is left causes
the price TO jump.
With operating expenses at a maxi
mum, the commission men felt they
ought to be allowed at least cents a
pound on the storage butter they handle

Enforcement of the National Food Ad-
ministration and Mr. Richie. also OF

OPERA GIVEN FOR
WAR RELIEF FUND
"Jewels Of the Madonna" Sung
Earnestly by San Carlo Com
pany at Shubert.

"Ihe Jewels Of the Madonna" an
opera in three acts by Ermanno Wolf
Ferrari, was given at the Shubert Thea
tire last evening by the San Carlo Opera
Company. The performance was for the
benefit OF the Stage women's War Re-
lief and after the FIRST act Alma Clay
burgh sang "All for One and One for
All" as a special contribution to the
entertainment Also In the course of the
evening Burr Mcintosh auctioned auto
graphed cartoons by that celebrated
caricuturist Enrico Caruso.
Wolf-Ferrari's tragic opera is by no
means unfamiliar in this city. but its
fortunes have been varied. 1t has never
enjoyed an adequate representation. 1t
IL a difficult work by reason chiefly OF
the ensembles of its first act But be-
You'd that the impersonators of Gennaro
and MdlieId need histrionic gifts and
vocal skill of exceptional quality.
The story OF the work Is intensely dis
agreeable to many people, but to those
who can set aside certain revulsions
caused by Genndro's sacrilegious act and
its shameful reward II Ia only another OF
those squalid tragedies which have at
tracted the interest and absorbed the
energies OF SO many Italian composers
In recent years.
In the first act the composer has done
some very admirable work But all OF
1t went for nothing last night because
| Of the general uncertainty prevailing OH
the stage and in the orchestra. It was
a very shaky first act indeed, and there
were moments when disaster seemed i'm
minent. But the conductor. Gaetano
Merola, succeeded In bringing order out
of the confusion and the act came to an
effective ending.
! The singers were all earnest and their
sincerity won general favor for them.
! But 1t would not be accurate to say that
any OF them sang with beauty of tone
or finish OF style. 1t was n vigorous but
rough performance. Elizabeth Amsden
| as Mnlield. Giuseppe Agostini as Gen
ndro. Joseph Roger as Ratdeie and
Stella Demette as Cdrmeia were the
| principals.
