COAL DUMPING AT NORFOLK IS
PICKING UP.

Reports to the Norfolk and West
ern received at their Offices in Roa-
noke on the coal dumping during the
month of February show an increase
over the January dumping to the
amount of 205, 1863 tons. Tons of coal
dumped by the Norfolk and Western
during February totaled 583,439 or
more than for any month since last
September.
The moderated weather conditions
have greatly accelerated coal hauling
on the Norfolk and Western and the
Virginian during the past three few
weeks Congestion on the Norfolk and
Western has been relieved to such
an extent that coal hauling is now
about normal, and the Virginian re-
ports similar good news. Boht roads
are now rushing coal through to the
east with all haste, the Norfolk and
Western moving on the average of
about twenty-three hundred cars a
day, and the Virginian between 1000
and 1900.

for number of years, has resigned,

of the institution was seen on the

farm contains about seven hundred
acres of land and if managed as it
should be it will require the per-

SECOND DRAFT
EXPECTED SOON
No New Divisions Will BE Made
Up, But Men Will BE Called
to Fill UP Present Army
and Replace Those Killed.

Washington, March 6.-While
large number of men will be called
out during the present year to fill up
ne army and complete its orgnnizn-
tion, it was learned tonight that war
department plans do not call for the
creation of any additional divisions
IN 1918. The announcement concern
ing tho second draft, expected soon
from Provost Marshal General Crow
der, may outlines the manner in which
less than 100000 men, probably not
much in excess of 100000, are to be
summoned gradually during tho year
TO complete the existing organiza-
tions.
Delay in the announcement MS to
the next draft is understood to be
uue to uncertainty as to which
method of allotting quotas to tho
states is to be followed. The senate
already has passed and the house
military committee has favorably re-
ported an amendment to the law to
base the quota on the number of men
IN class one instead of upon the to-
tni registration of II state. This ia
regarded MS certain to be made, but
TO- avoid further delay sccdules of
allotmcnts under both systems have
been prepared ut the provost marshal
generals Office, ready to go out ms
soon us final action list taken. =
as To the date Of the second draft.
members of congress from agricul-
iural sections have been particularly
assured that no withdrawal of men
from civil life was contemplated, that
would eMbarass harvesting.
The mcn are needed to I'll up to full
strength divisions slated for early de-
phrturc to Europe and also for field
army corps troops attached to divis-
ions The replacement dctnchmcnts
also must go forward at an accclo-
rating rate, since American troops
are now nctunlly holding II sector of
