TO KEEP CLOSE WATCH
ON ALL COAL HOARDERS
Householders Urged to Buy
Now, but to Get Only What
Their Needs Require

To prevent possible recurrence next
winter of the recent coal famine, all
supplies of fuel being ordered now will
be regulated by the fuel administration,
it was announced today
Although domestic consumers are
shipped here in large quantities, steps
are being taken to prevent boarding.
plans are being worked out by Francis
A. Lewis chairman of the Philadelphia
coal committee and Thomas Mahady,
head Of the conservation department, to
limit the domestic supply.
The amount 70 be allowed Will be
fixed according to the number of rooms
i'm each house, and under the new ar
rangement this number must be given
when the consumer files his coal card,
When it is apparent that an excessive
amount is being ordered the consumer
will be notified. If the notice is ignored,
prosecution will follow.
II was decided to limit the supply
when attention was brought that sub
urbantes were placing orders for large
quantities of fuel. Several instances of
filled cellars, enough TO last for two
winters were among the complaints re-
ceived.
Although taking this step, Mr. Lewis
made II plain that he did not want con-
sumers to interpret the order as mean
ing they should discontinue placing
next winters coal orders now and
throughout the balance of the summer.
"Order now. but order wisely; be
fair to yourself and your neighbor,' is
his message to the householder.

Must Perish, Says New
Version

Samuel j. Lischin. of 217 Christian
street, has "revamped" Lincoln's menu
orable Gettysburg address. making II
applicable to the world war and the
Kaiser.
Here's the result:
Three years and seven months ago the
Kaiser brought forth upon this world a
struggle, conceived In conquest and dCdi-
Gated to the proposition that God is in
league with the Kaiser. Now he Is engaged
In a great world war, testing whether there
be any nation so weak and NO helpless as
to endure his ruthless warfare. We are
met on great battlefield of this war. We
are ready to dedicate portion of this
field as a final resting place for him who
gave others lives that he might reign
supreme.
II is altogether fitting and proper that
we should do this. But, in a larger sense
Kaiser living and better dead, who strug-
giles there, has erred far above our power
to add detract. The world will little
note nor long remember what we say here
but il can never forget what he did there.
1t is for us, the living, rather to be
dedicated to the unfinished work OF finish
ing the Kaiser, which we are thus far so
nobly carrying on. 1t Is rather for US to
beShero dedicated to the great task remain
ing before us; that from his deeds we take
increased devotion to the cause of demoC-
racy; that we here highly resolve that
Belgium shall not have suffered in vain;
that the nation under God shall triumph. and
that the government Of the Kaiser. by the
Kaiser and for the Kaiser shall perish from
