A misunderstanding between
police officers and doortenders at
the Eagles smoker last Thursday
night over Interpretation of the
new war tax law was responsible
for an argument at the door, and
not any attempt on the part of Of
ficers to evade paying a war tax
This is the opinion of Commits
sioner Petit and other officials
who have investigated the matter
Three officers of the police dry
squad had been sent to the boxing
show on official business by Po-
lice Capt. Falconer, and in such
capacity were exempt from paying
the tax. Some 20 or more other
officers had already entered the
house by paying their war tax, and
when the officers who had been as
signed to the place claimed ex-
emption on legal grounds, an argu-
ment arose. Later the officers
gained admittance, remained long
enough to attend to their official
business, and departed.

In the adjoining cemetery a
German officer paid tribute to the
fallen aviator. Nor was a tribute
of homage to French aviation
omitted. The officer declared
that German aviation felt itself
to be the disciple of the French,
who were masters of courage and
hardihood in the realm of aero
nautics. Germany" he added,
will never forget Guynemer."
Many eyes were wet. Many
were the handclasp when the
ceremony finished. Thereupon
the guide accompanied the
Frenchmen to the field where
their machines were, which, dur
ing the ceremony, had been re-
filled with petrol, starting the
engines, and got ready for return.
An hour afterward the French
aviators descended behind their
own lines.

RATIONS
OF COAL
CERTAIN
Omitted Press Leased wire.)


WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. 20
AS the national railroad again
battled with great SHOWS thruout
the east, coal rations and COM
pulsory coal cards appeared as
inevitable step in the fuel conser-
walton program.
Despite the fact that little but
coal and necessary supply cars
are moving on any of the great
eastern trunk lines, the pinch of
fuel want is again becoming
acute.
By spring, it is said, many
states will have issued these
cards, limiting consumers to spe-
cial amounts of coal.
Municipal coal piles containing
thousands of tons stored for
emergency use only will be estab-
lished in the large cities this fall.
Each state will be assigned its
quota of coal based on estimated
requirements by coal experts.
Allotments may be made on a
room basis-one ton a year per
room being one estimate suggest
ed for domestic consumption. AL
lotments for commercial use
would be based on consumption
last year with due allowance for
increased war needs.
