Miss Elizabeth Marbury. president of

calling upon the women of America to

protest reads:

strategic move on Germany's part,

~
Brothers, like many other iobbers in
this country, imported toys and china
made in Germany and Austria. In tho
spring of 1914. before the declaration
of war. we made our usual annual pur

paid for the goods and had them for
wardcd to Rotterdam in the spring Of
that year for ocean transportation.
"A number of cases reached US and
a great many other cases containing
our merchandise were held in Rotter-
dam. Long ago we eliminated these
goods from our catalogue, charged them
off our books, accepted our loss and
forgot all about them.

TO permit these goods to come safely

We are thus brought squarely face
TO face with an issue which this coun-
try has never before been called to
face. 1t is this: Is the country to be
governed solely by the will of the Ex
ecutive or by free and responsible leg

ut is an issue which energies at. o

clearly coming, but no patriot would

forced to do so. in the midst of war.
IL IS an ungrateful return for Repub-
llcan loyalty to raise it now. There is
one, and only one, fitting answer-an
overwhelming vote for every loyal Re-
publican candidate at the coming cleo,
ton and defeat for every shuffler, no
matter to what party he belongs.
Inc evident anxiety over the results
or the coming election on the part Of
the Democratic party is not caused by
any any concern over loyalty in the war.
lhe Constitution authorizes all meas
ures necessary for the prosecution OF
the war. but the choice of CONGRESS- by

involve an unconditional surrender.
The Rev. s. Edward Young pastor Of
the Bedford Presbyterian Church, Of
Brooklyn, said that the Presidents ap-
peal for Democratic Congress will in

cradle tonnaxe, subject to price to be
fixed BY the government.
For several weeks the railroads had
refused to take coal because OF the
failure Of DR.. Garfield to grant them a
special price. DR.. Garfield, the coal
operators, and the state fuel admins
tration held that the railroads should
pay the same price as the small con-
sumers. This situation tied up a large
number Of mines and the coal industry
Of the state was stagnated.
However. the situation is now some
what relieved because Of the action OF
the Chicago conference, Governor Hard
ing being unusually insistent that the
railroads begin immediate buying. All
the roads are now taking coal, thus re-
leasing for domestic storage all of the
big lump coal needed for the trade.
With the railroads as a factor in the
coal movement, all coal between what is
know as steam coal and the big lump
will be taken by the railroad companies
for consumption and storage at divi-
sion points turnout the state and in
Nebraska and the Dakotas, the big
lump will go to dealers who order their
coal during this extremely favorable
period and the steam coal will be util-
iezd by the MANUFACTURING plants. and
municipal plants Of the state in this
group.
Officials of the coal operators associa-
ton state that many mines in Iowa
reopened last week and are working as
full a quota OF men as can be obtained

A special order of the United States

by Assistant District Representative ID.
F. Cushing and State Fuel Administra-
tor Wooster. Of a special drive to be
made that week to stimulate early or
dering of coal. Backing the special
week will be big public city campaign
conducted by the state and federal fuel
departments and special effort will
be made to keep Iowa from being
placed in the Coal Stacker" class.
Under Representative Cushing the
coal operators have been enlisted. the
dealers are being urged to be ready to
take care of all orders they can receive
and big effort Will be made to
arouse the consumer to the seriousness
of the situation in Iowa and urge him
to place his fuel order during coal week.
The plans for the state are being
worked out in detail now and it Is ex-
pected that some method will be en-
ployed SO that every coal consumer
who fails to take advantage Of coal
week will be known to the local fuel
committee and unless he can show a
valid reason for not storing coal now
for next winter his demands for coal
later will be shut off. 1t is proposed
that the coal Stacker" shall be known
to the authorities and the man who
takes advantage of the present drive
for storage of coal, will have his wants
provided for because Of his foresighted-
ness in securing coal when he could.
Word has also been received that
the railroad administration will coop
crate with the fuel administration and
that immediately after all orders have
been filed thru dealers to the con-
sumers. transportation will be speeded

being torn off and the north wall of

ity, and was followed b. an intense
