and loss stand out single and marked.
our great days. He stated we learned
that our day was also our friends and
neighbors' day, for in the glad day
they come with their gifts and their
blessings and rejoiced with us; and in
the sad and terrifying time they came

AUSTRIA'S DANGER GREAT
with Bulgaria out of War, Interest in
Eastern Situation Is Being Cen
tered on Turkey.

The Hague, Sept. 30.-'lt has been
learned from highly authoritative
source that the Turkish Government
has already asked for an armistice.
London. Sept 30.-Although no one
here beieyes overurss from Turkey
can now be long delayed it had not
been learend tonight that they have
not yet been made. Bonar Laws
speech however makes it plain
that her position is hopeless. She is
believed to have only one army left
that in the CauCasus-2nd even this
is Of no great account, according TO
the European scale of warfare.
4 year ago there were in Constan-
tinople a certain force OF German
troops and a considerable number of
German officers. Most of these. how
ever, have been gradually recalled as
the Allies menace in the west in
creased, and in any case would have
no time to organize resistance. The
bow has been too sudden for Turkey
to make preparations TO meet an at
tack from the northwest, and with her
rail communications cut with Ger
many, she can have no hope of re.
ceiving reiniorcements, and especially
guns.
However, experts here point out
that there may well be some little de-
lay before Constantinople moves. Tur-
key has already suffered in the de-
struction Of her Palestine army all
the injury the Allies can infiict on her

When the question OF how the sur
render of Bulgaria is likely TO affect
Austria is asked, experts differ wide
ly. Most admit that there has been
cleavage between Berlin and Vienna
with regard to peace. as is shown by
the famous Austrian note, and some
now contend that Austria was fully
aware OF the Bulgarian move before
it was made. They would not there

efforts to get out from under the ap

ARLINGTON MAKES PROGRESS
War Relic Train Helped and Loan
Quota is Filling Fast.

The innovation of having a War
Work Train stop at Arlington last
Sunday proved a great success to-
wards aiding Arlington to reach the
quota allotted for 4th Issue Liberty
Bonds. The train pulled into the sta
lion on time and was greeted with
great applause by the immense crowd.
I. X. Batchelder, Master of Ceremon-
es, addressed the members OF the
rain with a few words of apprecia-
ion and in turn several addresses
were made by the STAFF OF visitors,
relative to the importance of buying
bonds at this time in our struggle for
world democracy with the enemy.
The meeting was impressive from
start to finish and the attention OF the
crowd was held by plain facts with
ligures showing just what is being
lone with the money advanced by the
people for their government. After
speech making, a line was formed III
order to enable each person to see by
close inspection the manly guns, depth
bombs, trench mortars, aerial bombs
and small equipment captured from
the Germans. The solicitors, however,
captured many sightseers and signed
them up In good shape upon leaving
the train after inspection by them.
Members OF the train assembled In

LAUNCHES DRIVE
FOR PRODUCTION
OF MORE COAL
Fuel Administrator Garfield To
Hustle Work Till April
WILL APPORTION QUOTAS
Each Miner Will Be Asked to Assume
Personal Responsibility for a
Weekly Production.

Washington, Sept. 30-To avert a
coal famine this winter. and also meet
all the needs OF the war program,
Fuel Administrators Garfield today
auhched u drive for coal production
whiclfis to continue until April l.
In formal proclamation to opera
iors and miners alike. the fuel admin.
lstrator calls upon all TO enlist in de-
tailed program to produce l2.234,OOO
tons OF bituminous coal and 100000
tons OF anthracite coal every week
This tonnage, he promises, will give
he country all the coal needed this
winter. II represents a weekly in
crease Of 1871 900 tons of bituminous
md l21 600 tons of anthracite over the
weekly production averages OF the cor
responding period of a year ago. The
increase in bituminous production
called for is approximately is IL per
cent. and in anthracite l.3 per cent.
It win be seen that the more urgent
demand is for the speeding up OF BIZ
luminous production.
Mr.. Garfeld's call was transmitted
% every district manager who, In con-
sultation with their mine production
committees, will apportion a weekly
quota for each mine. Carrying the
quota idea TO its logical conclusion
each miner will be asked to assume
personal responsibility for weekly
coal production representing his equi-
able proportion of the mines allot-
ment.
Mr.. Garfield calls attention TO the
iact that the coal production of the
oast three months has far exceeded
earlier expectations despite the labor
shortage created by other war activi-
lies. Gratifying as these results have
been to officials OF the fuel administra-
tion, II is expected that by definitely
alloting responsibility in the manner
outlined, the tonnage will be still fur
ther increased
Mr.. Garheld's proclamation In part
says:
THE growing requirements of the
nations military program and the es-
sential domestic demands for the COM
ing winter can be met only by a large
, increase in the average weekly produc-
ion of coal during the next six months
as compared with the coal mined dur
ing the corresponding period year
ago
The bituminous tonnage between
now and March 81 next must average
l2,234,000 tons per week, and the
anthracite tonnage 100000 tons per
week.
