ANTHRACITE COAL SITUATION
 NOT GOOD IN THIS STATE

The general statement made by pr Harry A Garfield, [. E Fuel Ad- niaistrator. October 26. indicating a satisfactory supply of coal through out the country. does not apply to the anthracite situation in Connecti- cut according to a statement given out by Thomas W Russell, L s. Fuel Administrator for Connecticut.
 While it is true that war industries in this state have adequate supplies of bituminous coal on hand, the ship pers of domestic coal have not equal ized distribution, MT Russell said, between various communities. As a result there are some cities and towns in Connecticut which are still so far behind on shipments of coal for household use that the matter is giv- ing considerable concern to the State Fuel Administration.
 MT. Russell emphasized the neces- sity of rigid conservation. though he added that he did not anticipate an actual coal famine. provided every consumer did his part in conserving his supply

From the Editors Desk HOW TO BE SURE OF GETTING
 THE PATRIOT

Although The Patriot has urged people to either subscribe for the pa per or to ask their newsdealer to re serve a copy for them, we are having many complaints that some can not get papers. The Patriot IS sorry for this. as it IS loath to have any reader disappointed. We are doing the best we can to supply the demand and we have printed more and more copies every week, but for the past several weeks the demand has so grown by leaps and bounds that 1t has been hard Co anticipate the great increase. On account of the request from the government for the conservation of paper the publisher is bound to keep the size of the issue down as close as 1t can be figured in order that there will not be d quantity of papers left over. Possibly The Patriot has been more conscientious than need be in this respect, but if we err We prefer our error to be on the side of the
  sible to help the pulp and paper see ton in it's endeavor b conserve
 Within the year The Patriot has more than doubled its circulation, and the demand for more and more cop ies IS still on the increase While we do not wish to have any reader dis appointed in buying a copy at the news stand, if he prefers to get the paper that way, we must say that the disappointment is not wholly up to us, as there are two methods that will in sure Patriot each week-either sub scribe and have the paper mailed di- rect, or notify the newsdealer to save copy

Commander EVanueIine Booth
 Says War Relief Work Must Be Extended.

Commander Evaugeline Booth, lead er of the Salvation Army fin the Unit ed States, has been suddenly called upon to furnish 500 addi oual war work women for France. The request is eontpired in a report Just received by her from Col William A Barker of the Salyationist forces, whom she sent to France over year ago to es- ,ahlish hutment and general var relief work with the American troops.
 We will do all we can jo fill this demand" said Commander Booth when discussing the approaching United War Work Campaign. "and the need itself should impress the American public all the more with the absolute necessity for sustaining and enlarging the war relief work of the seven or ganizations, besides the noble Red Cross, now merged for drive for funds Each Is vital cog in a vast machine for human relief and each IS Indispensable, serving its particular elements In it's own way.
 "The Salvation Army was born in hardship, reared in privatloa and trained to every phase of human mis- cry and how 10 cope Wlth tt Perhaps that accounts in some degree for the success our work has attained and for which We are thankful.
 We are of the common people. and we toll on practical basis We learn ed the lesson of how to do it in the Boer war, when We stood at the side of Britain's troops and weathered it out 10 the end We have been tried ny fire and the mothers and fathers of America as in other countries trust the Salvation Army to do the tbus they would like to de for their men f they but had the chance
 With l.2l0 trained workers al the front operating from 420 huts and dugouts the Salvation Army is doius, has done and will continue to do is best for the cause of humanity and Liberty.
