CAR SHORTAGE EXISTS:
BUY COAL SUPPLY EARLY

An ordinary Montana winter Will
bring about railway tie-ups and a car
shortage which will make it impossible
to supply the demand for coal, &C
cording to the prediction Of the state
railroad commission, which has issued
a warning to the people Of the state
to lay in their supplies of coal at
once. The situation is becoming SER
ious, according to the commissions
statement, which is as follows:
During the summer months Just
passed the Montana railroad commits
sion and the federal government pre-
dicted a car shortage and coal fam
inc for the present fall and coming
winter months, and advised the CON
sumner of coal to lay in his winter
supply. The commission has received
information that the car shortage ex-
lists throughout the northwest and
that the situation is getting serious.
This is due to the heavy crop move
ment and to the fact tina since peace
was declared shippers are becoming
negligent in not loading cars to their
full marked capacity,
cat present the boxcar loading has
increased throughout the northwest at
the rate of from 5000 to 5000 cars
per day. The tonnage per car shows
an average of four tons less than the
loading of 1918, or practically a de-
crease of II per cent. This indicates
that later N, as the seasons progress,
the car situation will become serious,
and in the event of severe storms or an
average winter it will be impossible
to supply the demand for coal.
"Many people are laboring under
the impression that owing to the short
crop in Montana there will be an am
pie supply of ear to move coal and
other commodities within the state.
This is not true, as the roads operat-
ing in Montana will be called upon to
furnish equipment to move the bumper
crops in other sections of the country,
which mean a consequent shortage of
equipment in this state.
at is, therefore, necessary that the
consumer should heed this warning
without further delay and take i'm
mediate steps to lay in his winter sup
ply Of COAL"

of some of the bloddiest victories
which ever crowned American arms,
returned home yesterday on the trans
ports Amphion, Suwanee and Mobile.
The little strips of various colored
ribbons that decorated the TUNES of
hundreds of the returning soldiers
bore silent testimony to the deeds
which have made the division histor-
ic.
As far as individual decorations
were concerned the palm was borne
by the Eighteenth infantry, every man
of which wore the fourrage NJ the Lee
gion of Honor conferred by the French
government lust before the uHil board
ed the Mobile at Brest. But the
Eighteenth had little to boast of over
their comrades, noticeably The second
machine gun company, 40 per cent of
whom had been decorated. Incidental
ly this battalion, which returned under
the command of Major s.. Warren of
Gainesville, Fla, suffered 20 per cent
casualties.
Several more units of the First di-
vision arrived here today from Brest
on transports Santa Teresa and Edel-
Ign. On board the Santa Teresa were
26 officers and 1,133 men Of the Eibht-
zenith infantry, including the Second
battalion headquarters, a medical de-
tachment, Companies E, +, G, H, l.,
and M, and the supply company.
The Edellyn brought back 81 Off
GERS and s75 men Of the First engin-
GERS, including headquarters and med
ical detachments and Companies D and
