WILL PROVIDE
 SACRAMENTAL
 WINE ID CHURCH

Washington July 1S-Regulations just issued by the Bureau of Internal Revenue afford every religious or ganization in the United States op- portunity to obtain wine for sacra- mental purposes.
 We have endeavored to cut out all red tape',' Deputy Commissioner Gaylord said, ''and have made the regulations easy for bona fide or ganizatiOns to follow"
 Where sacramental wines are pro- duced and distribution under clerical supervision, as in certian monasteries of the Roman Catholic church, the usual internal revenue tax must be paid and accurate records kept of all shipments.
 Jewish congregations, each of which is a separated entity under no superior prelate, will obtain wine for their sereVices on application of the rabbi The historic mead, brewed from grapes and honey, will continue to be used in the Passover feast

PIGEON LOST
 FROM R-34 IS
 FOUND AT SEA

New York. July 1S.---When tho big British dirigible~R-34 arrived recently in England she reported that she had lost carrier pigeon shortly after she had headed for home. Capt. Chap man of the Munson liner West Kuska, in from London, believes he has the bird. which fell exhausted on the deck of his ship when she was 100 miles at sea on July II. The bird, a fe- male, had an aluminium leg band "U R F 16-0."
 The skipper took the bird to the Munson Line offices at S2 Beaver street and 1t was sent thence to Col. Norman Thwaitcs. in charge of the British Provost Guard offices at A Whitehall street. Col. Thwaites is in- clined to think the bird, which is as- suredly British, is the stray from the dirigible and that it headed back to. ward England when daylight revealed it's position. It had flown about . third of the way across the Atlantic when 1t dropped on the Munson Line boat. It was one of two pigeons car -!ed for emergency signalling pur- poses.

 PREDICTION ON

Serious Situation Faces Country If Production Is
 Not Increased.
NOW 8,OOO,OOO TONS
 BEHIND LAST YEAR
Railroad Administration Is Blamed in Part For De-
 crease in Mining.

| Washington, July 1s.---A serious
 for next winter unless production is
 Immediately increased, the House
 Rules Committee was told yesterday by C. D. Lesher, coal expert of the United States Geological Survey. Coal production is S,OOO,OO tons be- hind last year and mines are now
 running only at two-thirds capacity, all because the consumer is failing to
 buy coal now. MT. Lesher explained.
 On account of high wages prices will
 not be lower until after the winter Is
 over, and the only way to prevent
 suffering next winter is immediate buying on a large scale. he said Movement Of the bumper wheat crop this autumn will hinder late shipments of coal and add to the
 crisis. George H. Cushing, managing director of the American Coal Deal
 CTS Association, told the committee. The Government, he said, must give preference to the wheat crop as the wheat movement must be regular as
 a part of the Government program of stabilizing the fixed price of s2.26
 bushel
 What is needed now is imme ediate | buying" MT. Lesher said. Prices
 cannot be reduced except through ar | bitrary action of the government, | and we have been unable to obtain | any figures showing abnormal profits | at the mines.
 'Bituminous coal production has i fallen off 70,OOO,OO0 tons from that of the same period ast year, and an- | thracite production has been de- | creased 10000, 900 tons. Strikes have | been fewer in the anthracite field, but | 1t is being mined because 1t is not | sold. Prices are higher than last year because Fuel Administrator
 Garfield allowed an increase in price 1, of $1.5O a ton to meet authorized d | wage increases. People are inclined | not to believe the advertisements of
 coal companies urging buying now
 and for that reason I believe Con- | gross should take some action l MT. Leshe- also stated that 30,- | 900, 900 tons of coal stored last year
 have been used and that it is impos- | sible to store large quantities at the
 mines. The shortage next winter | will be most serious in the Northeast
 ern and Eastern sections of the 1 country because of shortage of coal | cars, he predicted.
 MT Cushing placed part Of the | blame for the decreased production
 on the Railroad Administration be-
 cause of Its quarrel with the mine | operators over the price of railroad | coal
 | This has shut off buying and
 storage by the railroads and affected l production he said. Usually they
 have large quantities stored at this
 time of the year, but such is not the l case now"

 Dispatches reaching Peace Con- ference circles from Budapest indi- cate that general demoralization has struck Bella Runs army, which is straggling back from different fronts with utter lack of discipline.
 Reports from the same source re- ceived by peace delegates are to the effect that Belshevism in Hungary is confined almost exclusively to Buda- pest Peasants are said to be ob- structing shipments of food to the capital which is rapidly reaching a deSperates tate.

Paris, July 1S-Half million Russians in Germany who form erly were prisoners of war have been lift ed out of despondency within the last four months, partly by a course of training in American ideals, Ameri- can sports and American spirit said Major James A. Rabbit, of Philadel- phia, when he returned recently from Germany on his way to the United States
 Major Babbitt is a professor in Haverford College and a member of the American Football Rules Com mittee. He was chief of the Bureau of Medical and Surgical Relief for the American Red Cross in Germany and visited nearly all the camps where Russian prisoners were interned
 We found the Russian war pris- oners in a state of complete 1assitude, mentally and physically" he said. They had spent four years in the neglect and misery of German intern ment camps. It was enough to break the strongest mans spirit Their own country had forgotten them and no word had come from their relatives and friends. There was no future in Germany nor hope of anything bet ter in their own country. Hundreds of thousands of Russians who had fought valiantly for the allied cause were slowly dying from depression, mental inactivity and physical malnu- triton.
 We put them to school like chill dren- Athletic games were intro duced into the camp and these stimulated the prisoners physically while motion pictures and other mental recreations frightened their dull hours. Their hospitals were provided with every needed medical and surgical requisite. The camps were organized under the command of the American army personnel. They began to take on a new physical aspect and the men showed signs of returning life and courage. AL though they at first regarded us with suspicion, this was soon changed and they looked upon us as friends. They formed camp committees which brought all their needs, grievances and fears to our attention"

PLAN TO FLY EMBLEM OF IRISH OVER CITY
 HALL OPENS DISPUTE
PAYNE APPEALS TO AGENTS OF JUSTICE WHEN CIT YHALL OFFICIALS IGNORE HIS DEMAND-OTHERS OBJECT BUT
 REFUSE TO SIGN COMPLAINT

United States Department ot Justice agents were this after noon invoked to prevent the flying of the flag of the new Irish republic on the City Hall next week, after the City Hall committee composed of Alder man Edward Hamilton, City Auditor Keating and City Clerk Robinson, declared that so far ss they were concerned the de- mand of Dr. Clarence N. Payne of 432 State street, that the flag be kept down, would be ignored.
 The movement has created stir among more than two thousand workers in the city who are ready to take part in the educational fund drive which opens next week and the controversy threatens to make a. gap wider than any other public matter before the end comes
 It was stated by Dr Payne that he was not alone in the demand and LntI OOltT pTVttCGS "oNiA bt AAAfihG and would be followed up in every possible way to force the flag off the City Hall He was told that no in formal protests would be considered and that anything in the nature of a complaint would have to be in writ ing. His own letter reached City Hall just before noon and others will follow.
 As in the statement made last
 Il. .w4 lot ter that "the organization that tho flag represents has shown itself to be pro-Gerrnan during the war" and they have repeatedly insulted the Tspx<ident at their meetings and I fFInk it would be an insult to loyal Americans to thus publicly display the Tnbleun.
 In a statement Dr. Payne declared that he had protested to Mayor Will son. who is also chairman of the Citizens Committee working in the fund campaign He said that the mayor denied any knowledge of in tention to fly the flag and referred him to City Clerk A. J. H. Robinson. as a. member of the City Hall Com n1ittee. who requested the complaint in writing and 1t was forwarded.
 wdth pr. rayne's letter in his hand and imm ediately after reading it, City CleTk hpDlnSOn AdNAN O'Connor. City Hall janitor. to put the flag up Monday on the staff usually occupied by the city's flag and next to the Stars and Stripes. Asked how the permission was granted for the use of the flag on the City Hall, Mir. Rob- lnson said: ''T'he City Hall Commit tee, acting with the Mayor, granted the permission"
 Department of Justice agents in the city refused to make comment on the controversy or say whether or not the flag matter had been presented
 Throughout the city this morning much resentment is shown over the charges of pr. Payne. The com mittee on the Irish fund drive include many former men of the army and navy, together with hundreds of citi- zens who were identified with every rnove supporting the United States eovernment through the whole course of the war.
 Precedent for flying the Irish flag. which will be hard to get away from, was established when the Jewish flag took it's place on the City Hall mast in the Jewish welfare campaign some time ago. No objection was made to that course and the packers of the Irish campaign declare that the pres- ent move is evidence of decided pre- Judice.
