BLAIR ISSUES FORMAL
WARNING To OFFENDERS

MIR Blair's warning Is as follows:
Numerous instances of violations of
the regulations governing the retail
distribution OF anthracite coal have
come to the attention OF the fuel COM
mission FOR Richmond.
Consumers have made applica ton to
two. three. or more dealers. yet Ger
titled on each application that they
had no untitled orders with other deal
crs. The Lever act imposes penalty
OF $4,000 fine or two years imprison-
meni. or both for such violation OF
the law. This commission is unwilling
TO believe that citizens of Richmond
have deliberately certified to a false
hood for the purpose OF procuring "A
quantity of coal in excess of their al
lotmcnt. PrcferrinS to believe that
such violations have been ocras stoned
by misunderstanding Of the law. tho
commission extends period OF seven
days from this publication within
which all offender" may correct their
mistakes. This correction shall he
made by withdrawing from dealers. all
applications except on. and presenting
such applications to this Office in order
that the duplicates filed here may be
Cancelled.
Certain other consumers have made
application for a quantity in excess OF
their allotment Such an act implies
n degree Of reconciliation. ncverthc-
less. period Of seven days from date
viii be extended within which such APP
piicationS may be corrected.
Nothing stated herein affects the
consumer who has properly divided
his order among several dealers by
limiting the total of his applications
to his legitimate allotment and by
stating the dealers among whom his
order is divided.
NO lcniency will be extended per-
sons who shall fail to correct their APP
plications within the period allowed

MANY LOCAL DEALERS
Richmond People Violate Law by
Making False Certificates,
Says Administrator.
MUST BE WITHDRAWN AT ONCE
Otherwise, Prosecutions Will Follow
Against Those Who Leave Many
Orders for Coal, Each Certifying
That They Have Placed No Order.

y. Beirne Blair. chairman OF the
local fuel commission, in Il statement
yesterday declared that many cases of
violations of the regulations governing
the distribution OF anthracite coal in
the city had been brought to his at
tention and that he would Iive the Of

The regulations regarding anthracite
distribution that now exist in the city
provide that the consumer shall ccr-
tifE his annual requirements to Il coal
dealer and that upon receipt of the
order. or whenever the coal can lie
obtained. the dealer will deliver 80 per
cent OF it. and the balance later.
The violations. MIR. Blair discovered
lay in consumers placing their annual
requirements in the hands OF several
dealers certifying to each that they had
no outstanding untitled orders Con-
sequcntlE. MIR. Blair says when the
dealers proceed to deliver the several
orders from this one consumer the
consumer Will not only have his re-
quircments filled at once. but In many
instances will receive more coal than
he Will need. to the detriment OF other
consumers.
practically at a premium. many coal
dealers assert. and while in many IN
stances the orders have not been filled
the fact that they are with several
dealers and will probably be filled by
them unless Withdrawn. led Mr. Blair
to take this step.

sAMMIEs RAID HUN TRENCHES

With the American Army in France,
March 17.-American intelligence oil.
GERS today reported the finding of evi.
dence leading to the conclusion that an
enemy spy may be at work within the
lines northwest of Toul.
Early this morning an American SEN
try saw flashes Of signal light from
q window facing the direction Of the
enemy lines. He fired through the
window and then dashed into the house,
but failed to find anyone. Four hours
later important telephone wires within
the American lines were found to have
been cut.
An American patrol last night en-.
tered the enemy trenches at one end
of the sector and penetrated them for
some distance without difficulty. Much
valuable information was gathered.
As they were about ready to return,
they established contact with a ma.
chine gun. The Americans jumped to

In this kind of maneuvers the Teu.

in the guns of the men in the allied

Probably realizing that their efforts
to hearten the people at home are be-
ginning to require something more sub
stantial than words, another tack has
been taken with the expectation that it
may result ip an attempt to carry out
promises made to the German popula.

humanity need, yes, more desire, our
prayers.
a British boy somewhere in France
wrote to his home in England these
simple but appealing verses:
"Are they praying for US at home,
Are they meeting together in prayer,
Or going on still in the old way,
AS they did when was there,
We thank them for all their letters,
We thank them for all their care,
But, Oh! just tell them, dear mother,
We are needing so much more prayer.
Twill you ask them to gather to-
gether
To meet at our Fathers throne
That we may be kept from falt ring,
When we feel we are standing alone
There are moments when courage fail
us,
When dangers around us stare,
Oh. tell them again, dear mother,
We are needing so much more prayer.
