The Kronpriinz

His voice for war was always
lifted, as on his futile course he
drifted. He promised men,
when I am kaiser, in war I'll
be the early riser He visioned
conquest on the morrow, and
gave no thought to tears and
sorrow, to all the woe the world
should suffer exalting such a
pesky dufer. They say that
Bill, his bonehead father, with
bloodshed didn't want to bother,
until he saw the kronprinz get
ting all kinds of glory, and of
petting; then, jealous of the rat
faced smarty, he went and
joined the bloodshed party. l
fear the kronprinz more than
Billy; he gives me fantods fierce
and chilly. No matter who may
be acquitted, the kronprinz
shouldn't be permitted to dwell
in Germany and twitter of war,
the bloody-minded critter. It
may subdue him and improve
him if to some island we remove
him, where he may live in cave
of coral, and watch the dog
gone swordhsh quarrel. While
he's at large, to froth and bub-
Bile, there always will be threat
of trouble, so let us place him
in the cooler, where he can
never be ruler.

FORMER POSITIONS AWAIT
RETURN OF D. C. SOLDIERS
Believed Number Will Seek
Places Elsewhere, Where the
Salaries Are Larger.

With the early dismissal from camp
service and the return of the Wash
ington troops from overseas, the ques-
tion of employment for these men who
gave up good positions when they en-
tered the service is uppermost in the
minds of persons directly interested
and their friends are anxius to know
if they are to be reinstated in their
old positions.
At the opening of the war between
this country and Germany, the Dis
trict Commissioners made an order
applying to all men in the service OF
the District government who should
volunteer or be drafted into the Army,
Navy or Marine Corps, giving assur-
ances that when these men returned
from the service that their positions
in the District government would be
awaiting them. There are consider
ably more than 100 of these men. They
will be returning here soon. Their po-
sitions will be open to them, the Com
missioners give assurances. However,
it is believed that a number OF them
will seek employment elsewhere,
where the compensation will be
larger than the salaries paid by the
local municipal government.

STUDENTS OF G. W. U.
MAY USE DORMITORIES
Accommodations to Be Provided for
Members of Army Training
Corps, if Desired.

For the first time in it's history George
washington University may have dormi-
tory life. If a sufficient number OF the
members of the Students Army Train
ing Corps unit at the institution desire
dormitory accommodations for the re-
mainder of the year the university will
retain one of two of the buildings taken
over for housing student soldiers ana
establish regular dormitories.
ouestionnaires designed to get infor-
nation concerning the number Of stu
dents desiring such accommodations
have been distributed among members
of the unit and are expected to be re-
turned within a few days. The ques-
tionnaires also inquire about the future
plans of the students, SO that university
officials may get an idea as to how de-
mobilization Of the Students Army
Training Corps will affect the univer-
sity.
buildings taken over for use by the
unit will be delayed until all of the
missionaries have been returned. "
a sufficient number of the students
should desire to board at the unlver-
sity it is probable that the mess hall
lin the basement of Concordia Lutheran
Church, goth and G streets northwest,
will be maintained for the remainder
of the year. Heretofore the university
has not felt the need of dormitories
or mess halls because of the fact that
most of the students either worked
here and had permanent or temporary
residence in the city. But the influx
of government employees, due to the
war, has made it exceedingly difficult
for students to find quarters, and it is
likely that dormitory and mess hall
facilities will be provided by the uni
versity.
More than IS per cent of the 525
members of the training unit are ex-
pected to remain at the university.
Thus, despite the rehabilitation Of the
unit, the student body will remain
practically unaffected.

N0LET-UP IN DRIVE
FOR WINTERS COAL
Fuel Administration Con-
tinues Program for Guard
ing Against Deficiency.

Although moderate winter is pre-
dicted by those who profess to know
about such things, the fuel admins
tration and the anthracite coal indus
try is going ahead with its plans to
keep up the coal output and ward off
any deficiency.
But whether the winter is mild or
severe, economy in the use of anthra-
cite should be continued. In this
connection the anthracite industry sug-
gests five coal savings plans to hus-
band the hard coal supply during the
coming winter months. If followed
these suggestions given by nine engi-
neers will economically aid the situa-
ton, officials of the administration
say.
List Of Suggestions.
The five suggestions follow:
1. No. 1 buckwheat coal can be
burned in the ordinary range and
furnace with shaking or dumping
CRATES if a bed of ashes is slightly
used with sufficient draft.
fire in over night, after reasonably
eliminating ashes, is to put on the
night coal supply and leave it ignite
few minutes. Then close the drafts
at range bottom and open the top door
draft. Open the wheel door in the
range. pipe one-half and lift center
back range lid off one-third, leaving
all other lids on tight. A warm
kitchen with hot water in the kettle
results in the morning.
Buckwheat Size Sufficient.
3. The average furnace for at least
go per cent of the time operates below
capacity. During such times buck
wheat No 1 will supply the necessary
amount of heat.
4. Smaller sizes Of anthracite
sbou1d he used at night-as pea or
buckwheat-to bank fires and on warm
days. This saves egg coal for severe
weather.
5. All household furnaces can burn
steam sizes for portion OF yearly
requirements, if care is exercised Dy
the firemen, and save money to the
consumer at the same time.

 Notwithstanding ali reservations the flow of business is considerably stronger than the ebb, war work, of course, predominatinG.
