COAL SITUATION NOW
GROWING MORE SERIOUS

4
The state fuel administration is
mailing the following letter to all
county fuel administrators in regard
to the seriousness Of the fuel situa-
+ ton at the present time:
I"To County Fuel Administrators for
Tennessee: !,
II am receiving letters from all
over the state complaining about slow
deliveries of coal. The following IS
the situation:
"Many of our people have needed
my urgent advice to Law in their coal
as soon as possible. This, together
with the enormous amount of coal re-
ouired for the new war industries and
the railroads. has given the mines
more orders than they can fill imme-
diately.
"The mines are filling those orders
IN nroper rotation as fast as possible.
it viii probably take 60 or 80 days 70
fill all the orders now on hand.
1I will allow the mines or the deal
ers to fill orders whenever they can
get coal with which to fill them.
az suggest that people who have
orders already placed keep in direct
touch with their dealers or mines, and
see to it that they are not overlooked
when their time comes. !.
"The coal problem gets graver each
day. It is practically certain that
there will not be enough coal to sup
ply all of our needs next winter.
Therefore, urge your people who have
not placed their orders to place them
at once. They may not be able to get
the coal, but they will certainly stand
much better chance to get it if or
dererd now rather than later.
"Insist that yorr people practice
more economy in the use of coal
heat fewer rooms and burn wood
wherever possible. In other words let
them as red blooded American citi-
zens help YOU and me to handle coal
SO as to aid in winning this war. It
is their country as we'll as yours and
mine. Their liberty. their homes and
the fate Of their sons hanp in the
baianee.
"We must have enormous quantities
of coal for war or the nation will
perish.
Very truly vorrs.

MISS ROBIsON'S RECITAL

On last Friday evening, June I,
the friends Of Miss Rachael Robson
enjoyed musiral treat in the form
Of recital. Miss Robson is pupil
Of Mrs. J. G. Boals, and Mrs. Boals
splendid work as teacher and as a
true musician was shown throughout
the program,
The studio was beautifully deco
rated for the occasion, three rooms be-
ing thrown open. Graceful festoons
Of asparagus and the soft, delicate
shades Of the sweet peas, together
with pink hydrangeas, made the room
look as if it were just waiting for
music.
The first number, the beautiful
Mozart Fantaisie, was very thought
fully interpreted.
Miss Robson was assisted by Miss
es Elan and McNeely, sopranos, and
Miss Maclin, reader.
AS a second number, Miss Elan
sang calling to Me-" the words Of
which were written by a friend Of
Miss Robson who is on duty in
France. She also gave such jolly
little encore, "Mammy's Song" by
Harriet Ware. Her numbers were
thoroughly enjoyed, as they always are.
The second pieSo group was four
Chopin numbers, to which Mrs. Boals
added much by her understanding
giimpses into the life and work Of
the composer to whom piano music
ewes such wealth of deep, sweet
beauty.
Miss Maclin's number, in such true
keeping with the times, "The Fleet
Goes By" was giEen in a most ar
tistic manner. It was enjoyed in
The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1918-06-13

the truest sense Of the word. So was
her spicy little encore.
The next two piano numbers were
Rubenstein's "Kammenoi Ostrow" and
"Sous Bois," by Victor Staub, after
which Miss Gracey McNeely sang the
arias, "Se tn MANI" with Obey
Speaks "June Time" as an encore,
Both were rendered. in most artis-
tic manner.
We feel that both Mrs. Boals and
Miss Robinson are to be congratu-
lated on Miss RobisOn's work as a
pianist.

 tempt by one nation to punish another
 by exclusive and discriminatory trade
 agreements have been a profile antag-
 onism which of ten times result in war, and that if a permanent peace is to be established among nations every obstacle that has stood in the way of international friendship
 should be cast aside. It was with that fundamental purpose in mind that l announced this principle in my ad. dress of January s. To pervert this great principle for partisan purposes, and to inject the bogy of free trade, which is not involved at all is to attempt to divert the mind of the na- ton from the broad and humane prin- ciple of durable peace by introduc- ing an internal question of quite another kind. American business has in the past been unaffected by the kind suggested and 1t has nothin: to fear now from policy of simple in- ternational justice.

 There were wholesale deportations and the people were abandoned to famine, outrage and murder" said Dr. Pazis who has just returned from a trip through eastern Macedonia.

BISHOP WHITE IS DEAD FOLLOWING
 SHORT ILLNESS Vice President and Manager of American Chain Sue cumbs to Pneumonia. FACTORY TO CLOSE AS MARK OF SORROW But B Years Old, One of New England's Most
 Prominent Manu-
 lecturers.

He was B years of age.
 Because of his prominence in indus trial circles and his success in many lines, news of his death is of more than statewide interest.
 Bishop White Was born in West Hartford in 1885, the son of Niles G. and Minnie Bishop White He was educated in the schools of Hartford, at Hotchkiss in Lakeville, Ct, and graduated in the class of 1908 from Sheffield Scientific School, Yale Uni- versity.
 Immediately after finishing college MT. White became Identified with New York bank, and shortly there after started business as a manufac- turers' representative in the automo- bile supply trade which brought him in contact with the Weed Chain Tire Grip Company, with whom he became associated about 1911. When Ameri- can Chain Company was incorporated in 1912 MT. White went to SherriIl, N. Y, to organize and manage that com pany, which later absorbed the Weed Chain Tire Grip Company after the business had been transferred to Bridgeport. He then became vice president and general manager of the new corporation, a position which he held at the time of his death. While MT. White always made his home in West Hartford his business brought him daily to the home offices of the American Chain Company in Bridgeport. but since the war period 1 he has been most actively engaged in putting the various factories of the company on a war basis, and undoubt- edly owing to this work he contra cted the disease while en route from plant to plant.
 l He was not satisfied with the part he was taking in the furnishing of ,war material and had planned to &C., lively enter the twice on November 1st, and to accomplish this had been SIiCAuOuS4y enSdSeI duIlIS lue past month in arranging the affairs of the company to permit of his carrying out the plan he so earnestly desired.
 In 1914 MT. White. exercising his
 unusual ability as an organizer, suc- cessfully carried out the reorganiza- tion of the Pratt & Cady Company, Inc, in Hartford, of which concern he was treasurer. In addition to his
 industrial work he was keenly inter
 ested in financial affairs and his abil- lty was recognized by his election to the directorate of the Colonial Ma tional Bank of Hartford and the Bridgeport Trust Company. He served
 on the Connecticut State Council of
 Defense and was a member of several
 prominent clubs in Hartford and
 Bridgeport.
