DWELLINGS TO BE
PUT ON RATION OF
FUEL FOR WINTER

Washington, p. G., July Sra
tioning of coal to householders was
announced today by the fuel ad-
miIistration as among plans de-
sieHed to prevent a threatened
shortage of coal next winter
Each consumer will be allowed
o1.y as much coal as is found to be
scientifically necessary TO heat his
nome to IS degrees, provided every
conservative rule has been obeyed.
The allowance for each house
holder. the announcement said, will
be sufficient for comfort, but the
thcughtIess and wastefui consumer
who finds his allowance gone be-
fore the end of the winter will have
only himself to thank if he has no
fuel with which to heat his home. ."
The administration plan in
wolves a department of coal allot-
ments in connection with each local
fuel administrators office, and this
system now has been compiled and
Will be put into operation at once.
Each order for coal will be CEN
sored by comparison with the rat
ing of the house where the coal is
to be used; all doubtful cases will
be carefully checked up by inspect
ing the house in question and sur
plIs coal when ordered will be re-
fused.
All consumers who have obtained
a quantity of coal in excess of their
alIotments or who by deceit or mis-
representation have violated any
rules or regulations of the fuel ad-
Injnistration will be prosecuted.
This system" said the admins
tratIon's statement, will be drastic
and will introduce conditions new
to the country; it will be 10 more
drastic. however, than conditions
demand in the interest of all con-
cerned. No one will be deprived of
coal actually needed for heating,
but no one will be allowed fuel for
waste or extravaganza.
The fuel administration expects
every one TO recognize the necessity
and the reason for this supervision
aIC TO cooperate fully with the To-
cal committees entrusted with car

from Vardoe. Norway, to the Chris
tiania Tidens Tegn.
A supply of provisions from the
United States has arrived at Muir
mansk. the dispatch adds.
Washington, July S.-Intimations
were given in official quarters to-
day that a formal announcement in
regard to the present attitude of
the United States government to-
ward Russia might be expected
shortly.
So far there has been no official
statement of any kind to throw
light upon the important decision
reached Saturday when President
Wilson discussed the urgent ap-
peals of the allies for joint action
in Russia with the heads of the
state, war and navy departments
and the chief military and naval Of
ficers.
Unofficially. however. word went
forth that a definite policy of ac-
tion had been determined upon that
would end the long period of wait
ing that followed the rise Of the
Bolshevih.
Leaders among the people of the
Murman coast recently appealed to
the American and allied consuls at
kola for protection. German troops
are reported to the southwark on
the railroad leading to the Arctic
at kola. andsthe failure Of the Boil
shevik government to resist the
penetration of the enemy has led
the inhabitants to adopt their own
measures of defense. The Bolshe-
Wiki government at Moscow recent
ly declared a state of war In the
Archangel province.
With American, British and
French naval eorces guarding a
large store of war supplies at Kola
and along the railroad, the Muir
man coast is one of the possible
fields for operations by the allies
in the east under the new policy to-
ward Russia believed to have been
approved by President Wilson at
the White house conference.

I" NOmentOus happenings are in the
making on the western front. The
lull of the past few days will not
continue long, and it is not improb-
able the Germans will break it by
hurting their masses against the
allied line to crush it, if possible.
spOndents at the front, while
reporting that a new German blow
is impending, obviously are unable
to give grounds for the belief But
the Germans have had much time
in which to prepare for further
great strokes and it is known they
have from 80 to 40 divisions in
shape to throw into the fray. Added
TO this is the fact that the Germans
have not been very active for more
than week and their counter at

with the usual strength and deter
