THE WOMEN
Of GERMNX
Appel to the Women Of:
America to Prevent Them
From Starving
SAY CONDITIONS ARE BAD.

Washington, Nov. 15.--AppeaIs
addressed to Mrs. woodrow Wilson
and Miss Jane Adams, Of Chicago,
on behalf of the women Of Germany
asking that the armistiee terms be-
modified to prevent "unspeakabIe
disaster" have been sent from th~
German wireless station at NaueD.
They were picked Up by the military
intelligence radio at Haulton, Maine
and were made public tonight by tho
War Department.
The appeal to Mrs. Wilson said
the women and children of Germany
have been Starving for years" and.
that they will die from hunger by
the millions" unless the terms Of.
the armistice are changed so that.
suffificient rolling stock will be,
made available fol moving food
from the farms. 1t was dated at.
Berlin and signed by Gertrude Baeu-.
mer and Alice Soloman for the Nat
ional Council of Women Of Germa-.
ny.
The appeal to Miss Adams was
from Anita Augsburg, at Poz, under
date of Wednesday. 1t said that the
German wwomen, "foreseeing entire
famishment and mutiny for their
country" urged their American sis
ters" to intercede to have the armis-
tice terms modified.
I'VE are all free voters Of a free
republic now, greeting You heartily"
tho appeal said.
The message to Mrs. Wilson fol-
lows:
Berlin, Noy.. 12, 1918.
TO Mrs. Woodrow Wilson,
White House, Washington, D. c.
Madame: According to the
terms of the armistice Germany has
to surrender a very large part OF the
rolling stock OF her railways. AT
the same time she has to feed the
troops of her former enemies in the
occupied provinces Of Germany. The
German women and children have
been starving for years. They will
die from hunger by the millions il
the terms of the armistice are not
changed. Weneed the rolling stock
of the railways to bring the food
from the farms to the cities. It will
be impossible to feed the soldiers of
the occupying armies II VIC cannot
get large amounts of food from oy-
erseas. The women and children
all the world over have been the in
nocent sufferers of this terrible war,
but nowhere more than in Germany.
Let it be through you, Madame, to
implore our sisters in the United
States to come to our rescue. -

tothese governments for purposes
growing out of the war.
1T is of the utmost Importance
that such foreign loans should be
held down to minimum and as
soon as may be, discontinued, and
that every reasonable argument
should be pressed upon the govern
ments of the Allies to prepArt them
selves and their people to make pay
ments for their exports from the
United States by imports into the
United States; that is, in effect, to
make cash payment instead of pay
ment by credit"
Taking up the pending revenue
bill, the Secretary explained his
views as follows:
"Theexcess profits tax rates ap
plicable to the calendar year 1918
should not be greater than those
provided for in the existing low OF
October, 1917, and should be paya-
BILE only in those coses where such
excess profits would yield larger
return than the proposed war pro-
fits tax. The 80 per cent war pro-
fits tax applicable to the calendar
year 1918 should te retained. Con-
tracts have been made during past
months in the expectation of h
heavy war profits tax. Every one Is
agreed that war profits should be
taxed. They must be taxed now.
at is time to look ahead to the
future of American business and ill.,
dustry. Our taxes measure should
be so devised at to encourage and
stimulate rather than to burden and
repress them. l, therefore, recon-
mend the immediate amendment of
the pending bill, so as to provide
that, with the collection of the taxes
levied upon wwar and excess profits
for the calendar year 1918 and pay
able in the year 1919 the war and
excess profits taxes shall come to an
end, except in so far as may be nee
essary to subject to theese taxes pro-
fits which, though arising from coh-
tracts entered into during the war
period, would, under existing regu-
lations technically be profits of 1919
and not profits of 1918.
"Itseems wise to provide, with
the elimination for che calendar year
1919 of the war and evcess profits
taxes, for o sufficient revenue from
corporation and individual income
taxes applicable to the calendar year
1919 to make the total revenue pay

vanced $1,000 per bale during the
first few minutes after the market
opened. This was the maximum OF
200 points allowed for the day The
same as allowed in Liverpool and
the English markets in order to pre-
vent undue fluctuations. The ad-
vance was attributed to heavy Gov
ering on the part Of large Liverpool
and English operators who have
been short on the market. After
this demand was satisfied there was
some realizing by local brokers
which brought about decline of fif-
ty points from the top figures.

SAVE COAL is WARNING

Helena, Feb. 20.-Montana and
other states are not confronted with
a new problem when they are asked
to conserve fuel. The first fuel saw
ing organization came into existence
in 1921 in Philadelphia. The organ
ization obtained a charter in 1887 and
is still in existence.
The first lessons pertaining to the
needs of conserving fuel were demon
strated in these early days when
scarcely any coal was mined in the
United States. People of this coun-
try have been slow to realize the need
for fuel conservation and even to this
day Montanans are inclined, in many
cases, to look upon the governments
efforts and requests with disfavor.
Montana has an abundance of coal
within it's own borders and therefore
should be self sustaining in the fuel
line, but statistics compiled by w. J..
Swindlehurst, fuel administrator for
the state of Montana, show that dur
ing the year beginning December l,
1916, and ending December /, 1917,
the people of Montana consumed
5, Z 1872 tons of coal and of this
amount 1~,158,612 tons were imported.
During the same period Montana coal
mines exported to the Dakotas, north
Idaho and eastern Washington 1885,
sos.
State Fuel Administrator Swindle-
hurst is taking the stand that Mon
tana should use Montana coal. In or
der to make this possible the mines
will have to produce more coal this
year than during 1917 and a more
equitable system Of distribution must
be established and maintained. Stor-
ing coal during the summer months.
both by consumers and by dealers,
will have a tendency to aid in getting
the mines to at least keep up a steady
production and will also make it pos
sible to get a more even distribution.
so that every community may begin
next winter with some coal on hand.
Predictions are freely made by
those connected with the United
States fuel administration in Wash
ineton that the demand for coal will
be bigger next year than ever before
The war is likely to continue and this
means that ships win need more fuel

NO HARD COAL
E0D NEVT VIyIAYI

AV~ WA
FOR NEXT WINTER
Helena, Feb. 21.-Montana will get
no hard coal from the east for next
winter. This information has been
received by State Fuel Administrator
W. J. Swindlehurst. He has been
asked to advise all persons having
equipment for burning hard coal only
to make a change as soon as possible.
The east demands more anthracite
since the consumption of bituminous
coal by railroads and manufactures
has been largely increased.
"Montana people must put aside
their hard coal burners" said State
Fuel Administrator Swindlehurst.
"This may work a hardship on some
OF the residents Of this state, but the
fuel shortage is teaching the people
Of Montana that they can get along
with coal produced at home and that
they can effect a saving thereby"
