A coal famine is right here
in Keokuk.
There is just one carload of
coal in sight for Keokuk today.
Keokuk normally uses a doz-
en- and more cars of coal each
day in the winter.
Unless some relief appears
over night, Ksokuk people will
be cold tomorrow, and hun
dreds of them may have to be
congregated in big public
buildings to keep them from
freezing.
In case this becomes neces-
sary, it will be women and chill
dren frst-men will be allowed
to shift for themselves until
after all the sick, the children,
and the women are cared for In
such places as the Odd Eel
lows, the Masons, and the Elks
halls where little coal will
keep hundreds at once warm.
CRISIS IN KEoKUK SITUATION.
All winter, Fuel Administrator John
NaeeI has said that the time he most
feared was around the first of Febru-
airy. BY then boarded stocks Of coal
in cellars would be exhausted, the gen.
erai demand would be largest, and
the solid cold of winter would be here.
His forecast has been verified to
the day.
This morning canvass OF the situa-
ton here disclosed these things:
No coal in dealers hands and only
one car expected:
Enough for one normal day in tran
sit, but fifty miles away, and railroad
agents helpless to expedite it;
No good guess as to when il may ar
rive from Bluffs, Illinois, but eer-
tainty that when it does arrive it will
not remedy the situation for more
than a day or two.
NageI Gets Busy and Warns.

at Oxford and in Scotland. In the.
early spring he was sent to the front,
attached to the British Royal Flying
Crops, and for several months has
been in active service in France. He
was the first of his class of more
than one hundred who entered train
ing at the same time to go into active
service. During the battles of the
past two months he had been in ac-
tive service, and the last letter receiv-
ed, from him, which was written on
July 8th, the day before ne was re-
ported missing, stated that he was on
duty day and night and felt almost
completely worn out. He also said
that he had been in a number of air
fight with the German airmen and
that on two occasions his machine
had been so badly shot to pieces that
he was forced to descend, but that
each time he was able to make a
landing behind the British lines. I'm
til definite advices are received that
he is dead the friends of Erwin Shaw
will still hope that he is living, for
it is almost impossible co think Of him
as sleeping quietly the last sleep,
somewhere in France. It is the hope
of all that his good luck still held good
and that after battling in the air with
the Huns that he made safe landing
behind the lines and is safe although a
