SUNDAY GASBAN
TO BE REMOVED
Garfield Considers New Plan
for Conservation Of All Pc
trOleum Products.
CARD SYSTEM SHELVED
Licensing Of Automobiles by
War Department Held Up
Pending Developments.
CARD SYSTEM SHELvED

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1o.-Removal OF
the ban on the Sunday use of gasolene
and substitution OF a definite plan Of
conservation of all refinery products
needed in France has been decided upon
by the Federal Fuel Administration and
will be put into effect as soon as II has
been approved by Administration Off
clals. Details of the plan were withheld
decision on II.
Restrictions on the use OF gasolene
for cleaning purposes in garages, the
operation Of engines while automobiles
are standing still and of automobiles for
extended pleasure riding will be put
into effect until the gasolene supply Is
deemed sufficient to warrant their re-
movai.
The plan has been decided on In lieu
Of other more drastic measures. among
them the card system for the purchase
OF gasolene and request to all States
to delegate the licensing of automobiles
in 1919 to the War Department. In
the latter way licenses would be granted
to automobflists only with definite ma
tionwide restrictions imposed on the
holders.
DR.. Garfield does not deem the situa-
tion now to be such as to warrant the
institution OF either the card system
or the delegation OF licensing power to
tine War Department. These proposals
! will be held In reserve. however. as q
! means of meeting the situation II the
new conservation plan fails in its pur-
pose.

then the submersible's guns were turned

Boat after boat was shot to pieces and

Detailed stories of the sinking OF the

the survivors themselves. AS soon as
they reached port the wounded soldiers
and navy officers were taken in charge
by representatives of the Army and
Navy Intelligence Bureaus. and the
other survivors were warned not to dis
cuss the sinking. The survivors. how
ever, had told the story of their experi-
ence before being landed by the British
steamship which brought them into port.

Steadily the Ticonderoga Jagged be-

PETRoGRAD, January 31.-Russian
school children are rejoicing. Not only
have the school teachers gone on
strike, but the bolshevik government
has. adopted phonetic spelling, which
will eliminate some of the difficulties
of Russian orthography.
The national commissioner of edu-
cation, with a view to raising the gen
.eral standard of education, has issued
"a decree that from January 1 a. new
simplified spelling is to be taught in
the schools. The reformed spelling
consists of the elimination from the
Russian alphabet of three letters
yatt, phita and the simple form of e.
The pronunciation of these letters is
identical. respectively, with a. and
the double form of and the correct
use of the respective letters has al
ways been a test of education. The
yatt. survival of one of the old
Slavonic characters, has been a STUN
bling block to many, not only to for
eigners, but even to midd1e-class Rus
