Country Homes Having Wood
May Be Denied Coal

The Fuel Administration issues
the following:
The United States Fuel Admins
tration has suggested to State Fuel
Administrators that in those States
where a plentiful supply of wood is
available, the sale, shipment, and dis
tribution of coal for domestic pur
poses to persons residing outside of
cities or incorporated towns may be
prohibited, except under special per-
nit.
State fuel administrators are ad-
vised that if they find as a result of
prohibiting the use of coal outside of
cities, excessive prices are demanded
by wood dealers, they should be dealt
with under the authority conferred
by the Lever Act.
The authority for prohibiting the
sale, shipment, and distribution of
coal to domestic consumers, it is
pointed out, is contained in the
order appointing State Fuel Admin
istrators to Office.

playing; there is no objection to their

gentleman from one of the copn-
tries with which we arc associated,
was discussing with me the moral
aspects OF this war and / said that III
we did not Insist upon the high pur-
pose which we have accomplished
the end would not be justified.
Everybody at home is proud Of
you and has followed every move-
ment of this great army with conf
dence and affection.
THE whole people OF the United
States are now awaiting TO welcome
you home with an acclaim which
probably has never greeted any 9TH
er army, because our country is
like this country, we have been so
proud of the stand taken; (of the
purpose } for which this war was
entered by the United States.
No Great Differences
You knew what we expected OF
you and you did it. / know what
you and the people at home expect
ed Of me; and am happy to say, my
fellow countrymen. that l do not
find in the hearts of the greater
leaders with whom it is my privilege
now to Cooperate any difference of
principle or of fundamental purpose.
eg.
1T happened that it was the priv
ilege of America to present the
chart for peace. and now the process
OF settlement has been rendered
comparatively simple by the fact
that all the nations concerned have
accepted that chart, and the appli-
cation of these principles laid down
there will be their application. The
world will now know that the ma
tons that fought this war, as well
as the soldiers who represented
them, are ready to make good. make
good not only in the assertion of
their own interests. but make good
in the establishment OF peace upon
the permanent foundation OF right
and justice.
This is not a war in which the
soldiers of the free nations have
obeyed masters. You have comman-
ders, but you have no masters. Your
very commanders represent you in
representing the nation of which you
constitute so distinguished a part.
And everybody concerned in the
settlement knows that 1t must be
peoples peace and that nothing must
be done in the settlement OF the is
sues of the war which Is not as

with its decorations and its animal
ed throngs. The arrival was sig
nailed by the firing of royal sa-
lutte. Large crowds lined the admir-
atty pier and its approaches long be-
fore the President came ashore.
The Duke of Connaught with his
suite, accompanied by John w. Da-
Wis. the American ambassador, the
Earl of Reading, British ambassa-
dor to the United States, Lord Her
schell and the mayor and the corpo-
ration OF Dover were on the pier to
meet the visitors. The mayor pre-
scented an address OF welcome TO
the President.
President Wilson then reviewed
the guard Of honor from the naval
garrison.
The scene in the harbor as the
presidential vessel entered was an
animated one. AirpIanes and sea-
planes circled overhead while the
warships in the harbor which join
ed the shore batteries in firing the
salute. were gayly dressed with
bunting. The crews manned ship
and cheered as the presidential boat
passed into the haTbor.
Salute From Castle
As the Brighton entered the har-
Dor the salute in honor of the Pres
ident was fired from Dover castle.
This was the first time since the be-
ginning of the war that this honor
had been accorded any visitor. The
Brighton's path was along the line
of ships OF the famous Dover patrol,
all of which were flying American
flags. The bands which when the
Brighton was sighted, had played

ton.
The Brighton was flying the Pres
ident's flag. Admiral Keye's pennant
and the British naval ensign. Mrs.
Wilson. who was on deck took the
greatest interest in the evolutions OF
the British destroyers.
In reply to the address OF welcome
President Wilson said:
1--WE have come through many Sc
rious times together and therefore
can regard each other in new light
as comrades and associates. because
nothing brings men together like a
common understanding and a COM
