bition party is still in the ring today,
but. in the parlance of pugilism. it
is out on its feet" 1t has refused
10 take the count at the hands Of
the new national party. but political
observers here today believe the
prohibition party has lost most Of its
punch and retains only a semblance
Of its old lighting form.
Delegates TO the national conven-
tion of the party here refused 10 ap-
prove the merger plan by which the
prohibition organization would have
passed out of existence TO be absorb
ed in the national party The con
vention. however, approved a com
promise plan that indorses the OBJ
jects and purposes OF the national
party and provides for a program
of close cooperation with that or
ganiZation.
Some Delegates Bolt.
ON the heels of the adoption of
the cooperation plan. delegates from
eight states broke entirely away
from the prohibitionists and an
nounced that they would henceforth
adhere TO the national party. The
states which bolted are Minnesota,
Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Da-
kOta, Washington, Oregon. Massa-
chusetts and New Jersey. Besides
the states that bolted. more than
100 delegates to the prohibition con-
vention announced their affiliatiOn
as individuals with the national
party
Pledge to Aid National.
The prohibitionists pledged them
selves 10 aid the national party in
electing state legislators, pledged %
the ratification of the national pro-
hibition amendment and to support
the national party's nominees for
congress. They also have agreed 70
raise a fund Of $4,000 to be placed
at the disposition Of the national
party.
In its own behalf the prohibition
party plans to continue its active
support of the campaign for nation
al prohibition as a war measure and
Of the movement for permanent ma
tional prohibition,
The national party will meet here
today TO consider its platform.

war industries and otherwise, must
participate in the saving campaign
but non-war industries are especially
interested because whatever the de-
fciency turns out to be, it viii come
out of their quota. Hence the gener-,
al prosperity of our industries and
the full employment of labor will de-
pend upon saying, by economies and
prevention of waste. between $4,000
900 and 6O,O0O,0SO tons of coal.
In spite of intense efforts to in
five months of 1918 have produced
only ten million tons inexcess of the
same period of 1917. If this is consid-
cred in relation to the immense phys
ical task involved in producing -
million tons of coal per 9week, it is
easy to draw the conclusion, that this
increased demand of one hundred mil
lion tons cannot, to any large extent,
be met by increased production.
And yet an actual deficit Of half
million tons would mean personal pri-
vation and an Industrial disaster which
no one can contemplate~with equa-
nimity.
What is the answer? There is only
one; it is saving oal. It is the answer
Europe has made in a similar situa-
tion-saving oaI in every possible way
and by all of the people. If we We're
to avert the privations and disaster at
tendant upon a shortage of coal much
greater than last year. the most in
tensive measures of fuel economy
must be carried into every activity
of Industrial and domestic life, and
the cooperation of every man and
woman in the country must be one
hundred per cent.
The Fuel Administration has fore
seen the situation represented by
these figures, and through its Conser-
walton Division has organized fuel
saving campaigns reaching out into
every department of our national life
where fuel is consumed.
Every American citizen will be ask
cd to clean his furnace, keep it in
repair and study economical firing.
Instructions prepared by the highest
authority will be furnished by the
Fuel Administration.
If everyone joins in this movement, |
from the owner of an industrial piaut
to the householder with his furnace
and cookstove, if houses are not over
heated. the furnace dampers properly
adjusted and the ashes sifted, it will
be possible to save from fifty to sew
enty million tons of coal without
serious inconvenience to the American
people.
A saving of sixty million tons Of
coal is the one possible avenue of es-
cape from national disaster. Neces-
sites of war must be supplied. The
coal deficit must inevitably come out
Of the necessary fuel for non-war in
1ustries. These industries employ
millions of our population and furnish
the backbone of our national wealth.
Factories will shut down and men be
out Of work in proportion to the coal
ieficit. Every ton OF coal saved will
xeep fifty workmen from idleness and
permit an additional creation of sew

wealth.

ing radio, telegraph, telephone, and
cable service for the mobile army,

damental training in engineering or
physics. telegraph and radio opera
tors. chaufeurs, clerks. etc. will find
excellent opportunities for service of
a character which will permit them
to make full use of their training and
experience. Such men will be given
opportunities to take examination
leading to rapid promotion and com
missions.

but not the training to take up tech
nical work but who wish to lay the
foundation for a profession that will
pay high salaries after the war is
