COAL PROSPECTS
FOR MAINE 1918
Portland Express, Aug. y


Maine is assured that it will re-
ceive rising two-thirds Of the allot-
ment of Anthracite coal promised II
bv the first of November. This VIII
be reassuring to householde-s ana
others having occasion to use inns
kind Of coal, as it makes reasonably
sure the adequate heating OF homes.
This does not mean that as great
care will have to be exercised In the
use of coal as has been indicated by
the State Fuel Administration, but
it gives assurance that Maine will
have an adequate supply in proper
ton to actual needs.
Ion. Nathan Clifford, vice-c chair
man of the Maine Fuel Administra-
ton, has returned from Washington,
where he was in conference with
heads Of the Federal Fuel Admins
tration. The officials of the anthra-
cite Division assured him that Maine
will get its two-thirds allotment by
the early part of November, and they
expressed themselves as confident
that deliveries will be made.
Mr.. Clifford stated today that his
office has not yet decided when it
will give the order for the delivery
of the last one third Of the coal or
ders already placed and partly de-
livered If the two thirds of Maine s
supply is all delivered by the first Q;
November or thereabout, i. will
leave four months for the delivery
Of the remaining one-third. which
would seem comparatively easy to
accomplish.

l. At the moment that the o6th d.

third sector in three months, it is fit
ting and proper that the division
commander should take this oppor-
tuunity to thank and congratulate
the officers and men of the Yankee
Division on the record that they have
achieved since the division actively
took it's place in the fighting lines Of
the Allies for the common cause.
.. You have beeen taken from q
sector where in three battles you
nave shown that the blood OF New
England has not attenuated and that
the same spirit and traditions which
your forefathers made glorious at
Lexington and at Bunker Hill still
survive in the generations which at
-, -, =, and -, have met
and defeated the picked troops of
the enemy His four years Of expe-
rience in active warfare and the fe-
rocity Of his methods have not
daunted you, and on every occasion
where you have been called upon to
face him YOU have distinguished
yourself with notable Valor and
brought credit upon your division and
upon the people Of New England,
from which YOU have come TO en-
gage in this righteous conflict.
8. A great honor has been confer
red upon the whole division in that
the French and American high COM
mand has at this time picked Your
QlNlSlOn 10 come lnCO tHlS CTltlCil
sector. That you have been SO hur-
ried TO this sector is the evidence to
YOU all of the opinion Of the high
command Of the mettle Of which this
division is constituted.
A. The past months in battle have
brought men and officers into that
close union of confidence and affec
ton which have resulted in the
growing morale of this division.
Looking back on the pat four
months, with its spotless record and
known achievements. which have
been recognized by both France and
America. it is with unqualified faith
in the future and pride of the past
that the men Of New England will
prove once more that they are ca
pable Of every effort and every sac
rifico which the future may demand
Of them.
