with the temperature II degrees
below zero there was a general gas
shortage in the city this morning
Complaints were received from almost
every section of the city, but 1t seems
as though the pressure was weakest
in the Locust avenue region.
The local gas company this morning
made an effort to get extra help from
one OF LuS 4dE G9GA9 A4ES@A@S-SS

fact that there is but $40 y one

The local company is doing all IN

to buy it at any price.
Realizing that the gas conditions IN
Fairmont are far from what they
should be. superintendent F. P. Pryor
of the Iocal" gas company is warning
everyone to be economical in the use
of fuel. A constant pressure both day

watching the fires, burning no more

TAG-Y0UR-SH0vEL
DAY PLANS MADE
Much Interest Being Shown
in Coal Conservation
Movement.

There is already much interest in
"Tag Your Shovel Day" which has
been set for Jan. 80. The interest
manifested so far in advance is very
gratifying to J. Walter Barnes, FEEDER
81 Fuel Administrator for west Virgin
ia, and to the school folks Of the state
on which the burden OF making day
a success largely rests, for the Ma
tional Fuel Administration is convin-
ced that the best work can be done
through the schools and has outlined
a campaign by which the tagging is
to be done by school children and in
terest in the saving Of "a shovelful of
Coal a Day for Uncle Sam" will be
created largely through the medium
Of the schools.
Mr.. Barnes had telegram this
morning from the National Fuel Ad-
minstration. stating that the schooi
superintendent OF Washington, D. T.,
would select boy and girl very short
Iv who would tag the presidents sho-
vel on January 80 and that schol'
arship test would probably decide the
selection. The school which tags the
most shovels in Washington will be
permitted to escort the boy and girl
selected by a scholarship test to the
White House late on Jan. 80.
II was advised that Mr.. Barnes have
school authorities IN west Virginia
select boy and girl at once who are
to tag the shovel OF Governor Corn
wen and the mayors OF different
cities.
Mr. Barnes held conference with
Superintendent o. G. Wilson. OF the
Fairmont schools. last evening and
preliminary arrangements were dis
cussed. It was decided that some stu,
dent OF the Barnes school be seiecteo
to tag the shovel OF that school which
win be held by J. Walter Barnes. Fed
eral Fuel Administrator and that some
member OF the White school be. hon,
ored with the tagging o tthe shove
of that school which will be held By

Committee Of Marion county.

SHOWS HUN SELFISHNESS

London, October 21-Lord Northcliffe commenting on Germany's reply tonight said:
 "A nasty perusal of the German note reveals that with truly Prussian selfish ness no mention is made of Austria Hungary or Turkey. It seems to be that the document may be read either as means to gain time or as confession ol a state of affairs militarily and economl- cally worse than we know
 "The German government may De hoping to exploit the conditions of the armistice as an outrage upon German honor and as a means of rallying the German nation for desperate resistance or it may simply be trying to put the President into the position of trustee for the German people which will nave thrown itself upon his mercy
 ..The least satisfactory feature of the reply is the shameless prevarcatlon wlth regard to German outrages on land ana sea- and the suggestion that this be dealt with by a neutral commission IS mere subterfuge. The arguments employed 10 prove that reform of the German con stitution has been accomplished are un- worthy of serious consideration.
 s.The President who dealt so firmly and speedily with the previous German attempt to entangle him in wordy dls- cussions may be trusted to compel the German government to show whether it really intends unconditional surrender which alone can satisfy the demands or inc military and naval authority Of the allies. or whether it simply is playing for time"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-10-22
NO ARMISTICE LIKELY

Washington, October 2l.-Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, chairman ot the Senate foreign relations committees said tonight that while the German government apparently has accepted all the requirements laid down by Presl- dent Wilson, he did not believe the re- ply would lead to an immediate arms tice.
 Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, the republican leader, and other senators reserved comment until the official text of the reply is received.
 'The note appears to be an acceptance of the Presidents stipu1ations," said Senator Hitchcock. Tn my judgment, however, it will not lead to an armistlce immediately. I think the military au- thorities will probably make conditions so hard that Germany will hesitate to accept them, and that this will lead to a delay in negotiations over an armis- tice In the meanwhile the war will go on.
 "As to the change in the Ger man constitution the presidents de- mands have apparently been met, all thought Germany avoids stating that it was done at the Presidents request, and seeks to give the impressltn n that it was done upon the demands or the German people"

would come only through request from the German lines under a white flag on the battlefield.
 Little importance is attached to the protests and denials in the note regard ing German brutality and ruthless destruction of property. The important thing is whether the atrocities are now stopped As to an investigation by a neutral commission, as suggested in the note, the President indicated long ago that such investigation could come to nothing except in connection with arrangements for final peace.
 Regarding the German denial of unnec- essary destruction of property by the re- tiring armies, military experts say that undoubtedly such armies are authorized under international law to work terri ble havoc in evacuated territory. But there is one prime condition to be met all of this must be done with the sole purpose of damaging and retarding the pursuing army. Bridges may be destroy ed, stores of food burned and even buildings which might shelted enemy troops. But it is not permitted to poison wells, to destroy fruit trees or to loot and destroy private property which would be of no use to either army or, In fact, to commit any of the acts of wanton devfltry which are charged up against the German armies.
