 There is no reason for you to fear coal shortage, in spite of the unjust and illegal action of F. E. Cunneen, chairman of the KiIlingly fuel commit tee, who diverted to Danie1son two carloads of hard coal, consigned to the Dayvilie Grain and Coal Company. MT. Wolfe of this firm spent much time, effort and money by going direct to the largest miners in this country to secure these cars, and although they were snatched away from him in such an unjust way. which action was con- demned by State Fuel Administrator Russell, he will again endeavor to get coal in his determined and thus far, successful way.
 The shippers of these cars have promised to send other cars at once. in their place. In the meantime, we have unloaded, on Saturday, 100 tons of coal in our bins to take care of i'm mediate demands.

But Total Under the Draft Is
by No Means All That 1t
Has Furnished Nation

Including the men called to go TO
National Army camps this week and
in the movements scheduled for ear
ly in May to Columbus barracks and
Fort Thomas, Pennsylvania has fur
nished or will have supplied S3,716
of its young men under the selective
service law. OF this number 1888
were sent under general calls, all
but 2,370 going to the three camps
to which the keystone state is trib-
utary. The other 4,343 represent
men of draft age who were volun-
tarily inducted into various branches
of service under special calls made
for men with their qualifications.
No account is taken in. this figure
of the thousands of men who have
enlisted in the Regular Army or the
Navy or. the marine corps from
Pennsylvania or the Pennsylvanians
who have so enlisted from other
states or the more than $4,000 men
who went into the military service
from the National Guard of Penn
sylvania.
According to Major w. G. Muir
dock, the chief draft registration Of
ficer. the gross quota for Pennsyl-
vania for the first draft was 9S,277,
the credits for voluntary enlistments
being calculated at 37,417, leaving a
net quota to be furnished of 60,S59.
1t is estimated that 22,S57 men will
have to be sent from Pennsylvania
under the second draft. The ques-
tion of credits under the second
draft has not yet been settled.
The total sent to the big canton
ments runs as follows: Meade, &c.
/ $40; Lee. 35,S49; Sherman. 4,644.

regard the Dry Federation as an

way of endorsements. The federa-
