PLAN MAPPED

Garfield Urges Fuel Piled
Up in Cities During
Summer.

Fuel Administrator Garfield yes

tives throughout the country to
prepare detailed plans for a system
of coal distribution which will in
sure a plentiful supply of fuel next
winter. The program for summer
shipments Is to be completed April

working under full pressure to pile
up reserve stocks in all the prin-
cipal cities.
Movement Now Assured.
With present conditions relieved
and an assured movement of 1,o00.-
900 tons a month to the New Eng
land district, DIR. Garfield announced
that he would push preparations to
meet demands for supply of fuel in
all parts of the country next winter.

the program for next year we will
be fully informed as to the needs
OF the dealers and consumers all

said.
Dealers to Investigate.
One of the most popular proposals
made is that OF selecting a limited
number of dealers in every city
to take up the supply question d.

portion the next years output ac-
cording to the amount allowed the
community. The dealers will be Sc
lected in accordance with their abil-
ity to handle the fuel.
Anthracite operators as well as BIZ
luminous miners have notified the
administrator of their readiness to
keep the coal shipments in motion
throughout the spring and summer
months, while DR.. Garfield expects
to have such traffic arrangements
completed as to make II possible for
the reserve supplies to reach their
destination by rail and water as
rapidly as the cars are loaded at
the mines, so that preliminary dis
tribution may be made before the
winter sets in.

A WONDERFUL RECORD

What a remarkable statement this
is; mot a Yank Executed for Mill
tary Crime" This was one of the
big headlines in the dailies of yester.
day. Ten thousand soldiers court
martialed for various causes, but not
a single member OF the American
army put to death. Records of the
judge advocate generals office shows
that 1887 officers and men were
brought before general court martial
of whom 10,S73, or So per cent, were
convicted. More than half the charges
against officers were listed under
three heads-absent without leave,
drunkenness and conduct u~nbecoming
an officer. And yet, when you stop
to consider that we had over four
million men under arms in all classes
Of service il is one of the most re-
markable records that has ever been
made in all history and tells a tale
that cannot be expressed in words
OF the fine qualities of American man

American forces. And still they per-

Whether we ever have universal
military training or not there ought
to be some kind of physical training
In the schools from the lower grades
up that will prevent children from
growing up round-shouldered and hol-
low-chested. The next time you think
of it observe the number Of school
children that you meet on their way
to or from school and make an esti-
mate of the percentage of them who
are careless about their carriage and
will reach manhood or womanhood
round-shouldered and weak-chested.
It is not altogether the fault of school
training and the stopping over books
in study. If children's attention is
called to the fact they can be instilled
with enough pride to correct defects
of this nature. They are very imita-
tive and if a parent has become round
careless carriage in their youth the
chances are that their children will
grow up more or less stopped in their
carriage. There was a cartoon pub
lished some years ago that was In
to convey the idea that as faith
er walked and acted so would his boy.
The title of the cartoon was Colon
and S~emicolon" and the boy was fol
in the footsteps of the father
in perfect imitation of posture and
gait. II the father cannot. for reasons
stated above, stand o. walk erect it
ought to be his duty to see that his
boy Is taught to walk erect and save
him from the liability Of being a
weakling, physically. An old man of
the writer's acquaintance taught him
a good and lasting lesson in boyhood
by Shaping him on the back n day
and told him to stand erect and not
go STOPPING through the world as If
afraid all the time of being struck in
the back Of the head. He remembered
the advice and has profted by it.

to the nation. The council to which
he goes is one in which the wisdom
and craftsmanship of Europe will be
heard. 1t will be one in which diplo.
matte rapier will strike diplomatic
rapier in a contest Of skill in which
there will be no quarter. Seated at
the peace table will be towering giants
in statecraft capable of deciding world
problems. With these President Will.
son will measure individual ability and
craftsmanship. He is confident he can
do so and that his duty lies in this
course and the people OF the nation
will await the results before taking
an adverse view.
If the commission as a whole is
not representative Of American abil-
ity and sentiment, the president Ger.
tainly is, because the American peo-

personifies selective democracy as 70

is the spirit of the gathering to which

is hardly to be expected that all things
for which he stands will be written in

be a melting pot of interests into
which the rights, the desires and the
ambitions OF many peoples and ma

The dross must be removed and the
common product accepted in good
faith by all concerned.
The Journal is fair enough and
broad enough to believe, until circum-
stances make a reversal Of that
opinion necessary, that this is the pur-
of the president in undertaking
a mission so extraordinary in charac-
ter and so unusual in method. As
president, representing the govern

to support until such support proves
inimical to the best interests Of the
Until that condition develops,

Some of us were beginning to think
that we would be coming back this

of it now, and are willing to stay a
while longer to do the Hun up in good

were billeted in, l ran across one OF
the BOYS that left with the guard last
fall. He is a brother to the Bartlett
girls that Alta knows. He and anoth-

still with the same outfit that he was
in last fall. He says that all the
