FUEL SHORTAGE MAY BE-
COME ACUTE DURING WINTER

Advices received by the chairman
of the local Fuel Committee indicate
that the fuel situation may become
acute during the winter. State Fuel
Administrator M. Fl. Gerry, Jr., is
determined to distribute available
coal, so that a serious shortage viii
be averted. The first step in connec-
ton with this has already been taken.
All retail coal dealers and wholesale
coal consumers have been cahed upon
to register. Certificates of registra-
ton will be issued shortly, according
to information received by the local
fuel board. When these certificates
have once been issued, only those who
are registered can buy coal in car
load lots direct from mines and from
wholesale coal distributors. 1t is
therefore imperative that every large
coal consumer and every retail dealer
be registered Those who have not
already registered should immediate
ly apply to the State Fuel Admins
tration for application forms.
After getting a complete list OF
those who buy coal from producers,
the state fuel administration will sci
in motion the machinery to keep
track of every car of coal consumed
in Montana. Definite information
regarding all coal shipments will
make it possible to supply emergency
needs promptly.
Through the series of reports de-
manded from retail dealers and
wholesale consumers, the state fuel
administration will be informed on
fuel stocks in every community. Reg

Rules to be Followed Issued by the Army and
Navy Departments

washington.-American soldiers in
r,ronce can receive but one Christmas
nackage each this year and each
nackage must weigh not more than
three pounds, according to regulations
announced by the war department.
Boxes for men in the navy, however,
may weigh 20 pounds.
The regulations governing Christ
mas packages for soldiers have just
been completed after conferences be-
tween the war and postoffice depart
ments and the American Red Cross.
Relatives and friends" says the
war departments announcement,
"who are planning to make Christ
mas for the soldiers in the war zones
as merry as conditions will permit,
should bear in mind that each soldier
is entitled to but one of these pack
ages. The war department will not
accept more than one parcel for each
man. 1t is expected that approx
mately 100000 of these packages
will be sent abroad and the amount
of shipping space provided for their
transportation will not permit of any
deviation from the tone parcel a man

"The men themselves will decide
who is to send these parcels. They
are now receiving Christmas parcel
labels with instructions to mail these
labels to the person in this country
from whom they wish to receive the
holiday box. To avoid any chance of
duplication, each soldier gets but one
of these labels. Packages that do not

present the proper Christmas parcel
label credentials. The following IS
an outline of the procedure to be

Articles Prohibited.
These boxes may be filled with any
combination of prohibited articles, ex-
cept those on the list barred by the

tons no note or message or written

been enjoyed by Pfotesta1ts as well
as Catholics. There are ITO Of such
establishments in sixty camps and
naval stations, each fully equipped to
entertain and aid the men who visit
them in great numbers. In France
there are forty-five "K. Of c." estab-
lishments, and 465 secretaries are at
work there, rendering a service that
cannot be estimated. Other men are
going over at the rate of fifty a week,
and even though the war may quickly
end the services of all these men and
more will be necessary in upholding
the high moral standards of the
American forces.
For the maintenance of this good
work the sum of $4,000 900 is needed.
Every dollar given to the united war
work fund is divided among the seven
organizations. Every dollar allotted to
each in accordance with the fixed ratio
of division goes to support its par
ticular war service and to no other
end. The full sum needed for the
continued usefulness of the Knights
of Columbus camp and field endeavor
should be subscribed during the COM

the Importance Of this work may be
appreciated. To maintain it the sum

set as the minimum of requirement,

Abdication Not Enough.

The kaiser's abdication, to take ef-
feet upon the organization Of a re-
gency government, does not meet the
stipulations of the allies for a dynastc
and fundamental change in the ruler
ship of Germany. For although the
crown prince likewise renounces his
rights, and also the Duke Of Bruins
wick and his heir, the fact that a re-
gency is indicated points plainly to the
designation as monarch of one Of the
Hohenzollern princelings, to be
"guided" in his rule during minority
by some elder person not yet named.
Nor lis it assured, even though the
chancellor under the regency is to be
a socialist who is now a reichstag
deputy, that such a change will
satisfy the German people, who have
been clamoring Srecently for the
abdication Of the kaiser and his eldest
son. The sentiment for a republic is
growing in strength. Bavarian dele
gates to the diet have already declared
for such an organization to follow the
abdication of the Wittelbach family.
, The naval revolutionists of the coast
provinces are asserting republican in
i tentions.
Abdication by the kaiser. and his
son merely removes. two of the per-
sonages against whom there has been
the strongest protest, by the German
people and by the allied countries.
But it does not effect such a reforma-
ton in the form Of government as to
insure that peace for which this war
has been fought through its awful
length, peace secured by guarantees
against future German efforts at do
minion beyond the boundaries of the

Mr.. Bryan.

The recent campaign was the first
Of national consequence in twenty-five
years ip, which Mr.. Bryan did not fig
ure as a star stumper. He was not
idle. He spoke here and there, and
wherever he spoke had good crowd
and good attention. But, unlike in
other years, his tours we're not widely
heralded. In some sections he did
not appear at all. In those where he
did appear he met old friends and
received the cordial greetings Of old
times. He was made to feel that he is
still in the picture.
How much is he still in the picturei
The question is often discussed. Not
withstanding his ups and downs
principally downs-he retains a great
many friends who hold to him with ad-
miration and affection. He is, Of course,
still democrat, with whatever hopes
he cherishes centered in that party.
Critics of Mr.. Bryan are Of opinion
that he lost heavily by accepting the
Office of Secretary Of State. In that
place he did not shine. He did not
disclose the executive faculty. He did
not stay long. he retired in circum-
stances which left the public a little
curious as to the reason. He and Mr..
Wilson parted good friends; and he
supported the latter for reelection.
Whether had the war in Europe not
broken out Mr.. Bryan would have re-
NAMED in the State Department, and
be now there, is anybody's guess.
When he accepted the place there was
fno war in sight; and in the place until
war came he was Of much assistance
to his chief in the matter Of the lat
ter's domestic policies. He helped in
Congress with the two problems Of the
tariff and the currency.
| But the war broke out, and Mr.
Bryan, who had not been student of
diplomacy or international law, soon
showed that in his Office he was i'll at
ease. He preferred private life, and
retired to it.
The presidency demands the execu'
tive faculty in the highest degree. The
occupant faces a great variety of ques'
tions, which he must grasp and decide
without delay. The State Department
important as it is, makes not a tithe
of such demands on the occupant
Hence, Mr.. Bryans critics assert, the
man who did not succeed as Secretary
of State could not hope to administer
the greater Office Of President in a way
to satisfy the country or advance his
own fame. The orator and agitatol
would be out Of his element in the
White House.
