Dealers Orders Three Times
Larger Than Supplies.

Fuel Administrator May Take
This Step Soon.
He Goes to Hutchinson for
Conference With Carey.

With the state under blanket OF

gestion Topeka is today more than 400
tons behind in her fuel supply. c. ii.
Danner, local fuel director, today
found between 400 and 500 tons of
coal in. Topeka yards. with between
500 and 900 tons on the order books
of local dealers.
Unless early relief comes, Danner is
inclined to believe the city will face a
serious situation. He does not en-
dorse any of the flattering statements
of local coal conditions. He is certain
the city needs more than 400 tons OF
coal to fill present orders. Many ap-
peals for relief came to banners office
today and in a number of urgent cases
he directed the delivery of coal to
families which were using their last
lump of fuel. One woman was using

Orders Piling Up.
Danners canvassed conditions in To-
cal fuel yards early today. He found
between 400 and 500 tons of coal on
hand. Orders in excess of 500 tons
had been listed. Practically every
dealer reported more orders than coal
1t simply means most dealers have
orders two or three times the size OF
their coal pile said Danner. One
dealer reported empty bins and orders
for l SO tons of coal

months. But the schools can be oper.
ated during the warm months ano
effect a saving of thousands of tons OF
fuel at this time. In the case of the
high schools, where campaigns are
being waged in behalf of the bows
working reserve, there is little proba-
bility that demand will b. made for
closing. The Topeka high school is
heated from the Edison plant, while
the grade schools use fuel that could
be diverted for private distribution
and would keep hundreds of Topeka
families warm.

Press. -Four American aviators at

participated in a daylight bombing
raid over Germany. All returned
safely
Because the weather was foggy, the
aviators were unable to determine
just what damage was done but as
they flew fairly low over the targets,
it is. believed the results were good.
After re-crossing the lines the
bombers were fired upon vigorously
by enemy anti-aircraft guns. They
then ran into still heavier fog and
some of the airmen were forced to
land before reaching their hangers.
