RICHMOND STRUGGLES
UNDER HEAVY SNOWFALL

Weeks.
CIT OUT LATRoBE STOVES
Little Chance OF Getting Anthracite
Coal Now, and Less Next Winter

Blair-ChariticS Hard Pressed.

While Richmond struggled yesterday
TO cxtricatc itself from the second
heavy snowfall OF the winter. coal re-
cepts remained practically the same
as for the past two weeks. with the
supply of anthracite almost nothing.
AS a result. the local fuel commission
directed dealers TO sell only one half
ton orders 10 nd.viduals. and urged the
general public to find other means OF
heating than by the use of the hard
fuel. Appeals for assistance were sent
out by charity organizations because of
the great demands made upon them.
In many sections OF tho State the
fuel situation is serious. according to
reports received during the day hy
Harry Flood Byrd. fuel administrator
for Virginia In every instance relief
was given whcrc possible. and those
sections suffering from lack Of coal
were promised assistance az the earliest
possible moment. Observance Of the
Irst Of the ten hcatlcss Mondays was
remarkable in Richmond and Virginia
according Ia the Federal agents
ONLY THREE VIOLATIONS

Only three violations were reported
to Administrator Eyrd. and these were
Of q minor character. and caused by a

seems TO have much force in questions
of this kind.
When We come 70 the question OF
the social evil, we know Of course
that it Is q question largely tabooed In
public assemblies and IN the public
print generally. It has always been
the scourge of armies and we have TO
contend with this evil In the new army
as they did in the past. Due to the
military policing Of ths vice districts
Of Louisville and the strict methods
OF discipline in our camp, this evil has
been greatly reduced. It entire elimi-
nation fs too much to expect. until the
present state OF world morals Is very
much improved.
mo doubt if whole communities
were placed under military control as
q whole state for instance, in which
an army camp is located, the trouble
could be largely eliminated from the
army. Soldiers do not get these
diseases in camp, but in civil commun-
tiles, and until civil authorities CO..
operate better with the military this
evil will always be menace.
However, I believe that because Of
strict military measures, fear of per-
sonal consequences and the good moral
training of most OF these men, they
are safer in our present army camps,
than they would be at home IN the
average sized city.
Mothers need not have fear Of send
ing their sons to the army, because Of
bad influences which they fear are
here. Uncle Sans officers will see to
it that the best possible care is taken
OF these soldiers.
