to-day. II is known that informal
Inquiries are going on between the
Governments concerned.
japan has twenty divisions in her
regular army with a peace strength
OF 10000 to a division. The war
strength Is approximately 5000 and
OF these s5O.OOO regulars It is believed
that $4,000 are at Kiaochau now.
A substantial force is stationed In
Corea and in the event OF a Siberian
drive these troops would be used as
nucleus Of an expeditlonary army.
Corea Is only 81 hours from Japan by

There was a change In sentiment
toward the Japanese proposal at the

II Is possible that tLis move-

tended to make certain the cOn-
troll of the Russian sea fighters.
Dispatches sent from London to-
day were calculated TO arouse
anxiety in the minds OF Ameri-
cans over naval possibilities fol-
lowing the breakdown OF Russia.
It was intlmated that the COM
plete removal of the Russian
Baltic feet from action would
give Germany a chance for often
sive movements against the
Allied fleets. and stress was laid
upon the work OF the Russians
so far in hampering German op-
erations on the seas.
That the Russian Navy has
made no serious trouble for the
Germans Is shown by the fact
that at the beginning OF the war
Russia's battleshlp squadron con-
sisted OF four battleships OF a
total tonnage OF 6l,22s and car
ryinR sixteen 12-inch guns. There
were five vessels in the armored

LISTEN TO
UNCLE

The Government desires to impress
upon all patriotic Americans that it is
just as much your duty to buy your win
ter supply of coal AT ONCE as it to
subscribe to the Red Cross and Liberty
Loans.
You should protect yourself at
home against fuel shortage this fall and
winter; while at the same time you are
serving our boys who are doing the
fighting by releasing cars and trans
ports for their use during the summer
and winter.
1T is IMPORTANT THAT YOU
GIVE THIS YOUR IMMEDIATE AT
TENTION.
Farmers cannot afford to delay get
ting their coal NOW, as it is as neces-
sary as producing crops. Do not over
look an opportunity to haul load of
coal whenever you have a wagon in
town.
If everyone pulls together, starts
early and put their supply in now, it
will avoid shortage, congestion and suf-
fering, and will, no doubt, eliminate
'Heatless Days" next winter.
The Government has designated
June 3rd to 7th as the time in which to
order your coal. Do not overlook this.
If you are not going to order coal
please be patriotic and go to work on
chopping and saving wood.
