Little Rock, Oct. 19.-H. c. Couch, U. S. Fuel Administration, yesterday made public the following from Gen. Pershing to Dr. Garfield:
 "Let there be no shortage of coal.

Without coal we shall be without guns and ammunition to use against the enemy. The man in the mines helps the man on the firing line. The more coal you produce the sooner we shall have peace. Every soldier of the American Expeditionary Forces expects to be backed up by the min CTS of America, just as labor in ev- cry branch of industry at home has stood behind us.

KAISER OR FATHERLAND
