COAL ENOUGH IF ECONOMY
 IS PRACTICED, IN OPINION OFFUEL COMMISSIONER NORTH

their fault, it is claim ed. Tn ordering | coal, consumers are requested to state | their requirements for the winter. Of this amount, only two thirds will be delivered, provided the order calls for more than four tons. Up to two weeks ago, orders for six tons or un- der were delivered in full, while only tWothirds of orders exceeding that amount were delivered, the remainder of the orders remaining on the Doks of the dealers. After November 1. when it is expected two thirds of the allotment for New Britain will have
 been delivered, then the balance of the orders which have already been partially filled will be taken care of Since two weeks ago. when it was de Cided by the fuel administrator that six tons was too great an order to be delivered in one lot, the number was reduced to four tons.
 MT. North wishes to impress upon hOuseholders and merchants the great necessity of ordering their coal now, or a s soon as possible. Probably one reason for delay in placing orders is that some coal dealers require full payment in advance for all coal to be delivered at that time. Other dealers however, ask only for a deposit, col lecting the remainder of the money later.
 In all cases, the fuel administrator states coal should be used economical ly. The situation is such that New Britain ought to be sufficiently sup piled with coal for the winter provid4 ing care is exercised in using it. he said
 A rumor has been circulated to the effect that New Britain will fall 3O,- 900 tons short of it's allotment on No yember 1, according to the present rates of delivery. When MT North was questioned regarding this he stat ed that there is no reason to believe that New Britain will be short, that freight conditions are expected to be greatly improved within the next few weeks, and by November 1, two thirds of the allotment is expected to have been delivered.
New Britain herald., 1918-08-17

Local Fuel Administrator James :. North announced ditinitely this morn ing that New Britains allotment of an thracite coal for the coming winter is 90,OOO gross tons. which equals 1OO,- GOO net tons. Of this am Ount, local coal dealers will be allowed to pur- chase SO.O0O net tons from the ship pers to be disposed of for domestic purposes. in.luding the heating of homes and stores, while the manu- featuring concerns are allotted 20, ,O00 net tons which will undoubtedly be purCha sed direct.
 AIr. North went to Hartford yes terday afternoon and held a confer ence with State Fuel Administrator Thomas w Russell, who had just re- turned from Washington, concerning the coal situation here It was stated that the quota placed for this city is sufficient to keep everyone in the city warm this coming winter, providing care is exercised in using coal econ ombcally. Quotas for the state of Connecticut, as in other states were based on tho population, and size of various manufacturing plant requir-
 
 is no reason to believe that there will be a shortage and the outlook for the winter is very good, MT. Norh said.
 When asked concerning the output at the mines, MT. North stated that the mines are putting out anthracite in good shape Freight conditions are also good, coal shipments coming through very well. In April, ship ments were very poor, in May they were fair, but June and July showed a good increase. Although New Bri- tain is still behind with what the deal CTS hoped to receive at this time, they are assured that the shipm ents during the next few weeks will be material ly improved.
 The fuel administration is trying to regulate coal deliveries so that coal may be placed in as many bins as pos sible before winter sets in in earnest. If there are any families without coal at the beginning of winter, then it is

COAST GUARD BRAVES
 SEA OF BURNING OIL
Surface Ablaze For Five Miles After Torpedo
 Strikes Tanker.

Beaufort, N. C., Aug. 1.-The British tank steamship Mirlo was torpedoed by q German submarine off Cape Hatteras last night. Nine members of her crew were drowned, according to reports reaching here today.
 All the other members of the Mirlo's crew were saved by coast guards and have been brought safely to shore. They said the torpedo struck the vessel amidships and that soon afterward the cargo of gasoline exploded setting fire to the ship and compelling them to jump for their lives.
 As the Mirlo was torpedoed only a few miles off shore the crew from coast guard station No. TITS. reached the scene in a short time and picked up the survivors. All except nine men were accounted for. The surface of the sea for five miles around was covered with burning gasoline.
 It is presumed that the Mirlo sunk, although reports received here did not say so definitely.
