There Is considerable pressure for

II was pointed out that If there is
such an alarming shortage of gas coal
for steel plants the thing to do would
be to stop the railroads from burning
thi sclass of coal in their locomotives
inasmuch as they can get along very
we'll with steam coal. Sending steam
coal TO New England and the east gen
orally for the railroads might cause
some embarrassment to industries
nearer to the mines, but scarcely as
much general dislocation as a sweep
ne addition to the cut in the coal al
otment to so called less essential in

At bottom the trouble lies in the
lack OF transportation facilities. II
there we're enough cars and lOcOmo-
lives 10 haul them to the points Of
consumption and enough terminal IA,
cilities to take care Of the loads when
they get to the end OF their journey
there would not be any scarcity OF gas
coal either for the steel plants or the
railroads. But as matters are there
is a strong feeling among coal men
who have given the matter a great
deal OF thought that the way to cur
tail for gas coal is to stop its being
used as railroad fuel.

Seized Questionnaire May
Be Sent to the
Vatican. :,

New and conclusive evidence that
imperial Germany Is planning for
another war has fallen into the
hands OF the allies. A report OF
the contents of a new question sheet
sent to all Germans who have vol
unteered for relief work for the
duration of the war has been re-
ceived here. and shows that Ger
many IL already recruiting war
workers for another war.
The charitable workers are re-
quested to fill out the question
nsire and return it to the govern
nnent- Emphasis is placed upon, NIL
ing in an answer to the question,
Are you prepared to undertake the
same service from today onwards
for the next war"
Allied agents have found, from
time to time, indications that Ger
many was overlooking no oppor-
tunity to develop resources which
are necessary to war making. No
documentary evidence, to support
this belief, however. had been found
until copy of the new German
questionnaire to the volunteers in
war relief work was obtained by
q daring French agent.
In view of the representations to
the Pope by the imperial German
government that disarmament and
a league of nations was a part of
the German peace program. 1t is
understood that the question sheet
circulated by the Imperial bureau

Baroness victorica was in court,
together with Fricke, Rodiger and

bail on another indictment is fu-
gitive from justice.

BAY STATE member
thinks HUN failing
Representative Olney Takes Roseate
View of War Situation.

Representative Richard olney. Of
Massachusetts. a member of the Con-
gressional delegation which visited
France and Belgium in the fall of
1917. took a roseate view OF the
present war situation in an address
last night before the United Service
Club OF America, 1900 Twentieth
street northwest.
According to the speaker. there
does not appear to be the slightest
ground for fear that the Huns are
going to attain any of their obJec-
tives in present or future drives. but
on the contrary, Representative o.
ney was OF the opinion that Ger
man effort in this direction had
about reached high tide. IL the ebb
had not begun already.
He spoke in highest terms of
praise OF the morale OF the allied
forces. and seemed to think the
constant and almost never ending
reinforcement by the Americans on
the battle line was a powerful stim-
ulant to the hopes of both the Brit
ish and French troops, and especial
ly discouraging to the enemy.
The United Service Club enjoys a
membership of more than one thou
sand officers of the army. navy and
L. S. Marine Corps, and the remarks
of Representative Olney were ap-
plauded frequently.

Give Your Child His Own Room.

In the Farm and Fireside, a woman
writing about children says:
The craving for companionship is
a powerful factor in the life of every
boy or girl, but a certain amount of
privacy and wholesome quiet is Just
as necessary to the child's develop
ment and happiness. I have known
families where life was made miser-
able for every one because of the con-
slant pickering and quarreling among
the children. When the house was en-
larged SO that each one could have
his own room, they suddenly lost their
fretful ways, and improved rapidly in
disposition.
1t means a great deal to a boy or
girl to know that his small possessions
are sacred from the unsympathetic
eyes and hands Of the grown folks. /
have always trained my children to
respect each others rights. Even II

ONE OF half MILLION
SENDS TO WIDOW FUND

Out Of Washington's half million
of people Just one paused and
thought of a widow and her little
son, made orphan through the
brutal murder OF her husband. That
one was a woman. and she sent IS
to The Washington Herald to turn
over to Mrs. John P. Werres, to
help her provide temporarily for
herself and son.
The subscription of s. received
yesterday from r. f. d. brought the
total subscriptions received for
Mrs. Werrcs by The Washington
Herald up to s62. The various
amounts and their donors have been
recorded as received in the columns
OF this newspaper. and will be
turned over to Mrs. Werres.
John P. Werres, was employed in
the Government Printing Office. and
after hours, drove "jitney" to earn
more money TO pay off the mortgage
upon his little home on Blad,nSburS
roGd. that he had purchased with
all his savings. and then been
forced to mortgaEe.
He was beaten to death with an
empty bottle and a length of iron
pipe on lonely Virginia road by
two soldiers who wished to use his
machine to aid in their escape from
the army. accompanied by a woman
who left ECr baby dying while her
husband was training for service in
France.
Mrs. Nerres was prostrated by
the brutal crime. The son of the
murdered man was too small to
fully understand what had happen
ed. He knew that mama" was said
looking. He knew. too. that daddy
didn't come home any more. But
he didn't know that his mother

"And yet 1t is quite generally be-

A second storm condition was still
more remarkable as described by
Professor Franklin:
Consider a smooth spherical ball
travelling through still air. There
Is certainly no more reason to ex-
pect the ball to jump to the left
than to the right. Therefore we
may conclude that 1t will jump
neither way. But the fact Is that
1t does jump to one side or the
other.
ITO understand the action Of the
ball, imagine it standing still, and
the air moving by it in a steady

ball and slides in a steadily over the
