STRICT ECONOMY IN
USE OF COAL URGED BY
FUEL ADMINISTRATOR.

Strict economy in the use OF
ccaH is urged by Wilmer Hayward,
local fuel administrator, who in a
statement to The Journal yester-
day called attention 20 the short
age of hard coal. and the neces-
sity of using steam coal
There is much wood, however,
and this is prescribed by the ad-
ministrator even above steam coal,
for every shovelful of coal saved
releases like amount for use in
ships lying at Atlantic ports
awaiting fuel to carry war sup
plies to our expeditionary forces,
and to our allies.
BY using the steam coal, il is
pointed out, enough lump coal is
contained in each load TO start
CRATE fires, and that after the fire
is burning. the small Jumps and
dust will serve to maintain IL.
These measures are urged TO
prevent drastic fuel regulations.
as it is stated that the congested
condition has been temporarily
relieved by the closing order of
last week, and the heatless Mon
days

Military Morals

One OF the uses of the proceeds f
the Liberty Loan that will appeal
strongly to the great mass of Amer
lean people is the care and attention
given to the moral welfare and pro-
lection of the American soldiers.
Heretofore with the American Ar
my and even now with some of the
armies of. our allies the moral vel
fare of the soldier was and is mat
ter largely ignored. In the German
armies provision is even made for
immortality.
It is to the glory Of the American
arms and American national charac-
ter that of the men who wear the
