OF COAL
DISTRIBUTION CANCELLED

All restrictions of the distribution
of coal IN New Mexico have been
cancelled. the state corporation com
mission was advised on Monday. This
means that coal will move from pro-
ducer to dealers and consumers
without any interference of regulat-
ing committees. A number of com
plants about shortage of fuel have
been received. But no action need
now be taken on these complaints
as no doubt much coal that has been
held at various points has been re-
leased and will move to destination
as quickly as possible.

THE LEAGUE OF HEARTS,

Next Wednesday the people of
Duluth will be called upon to sub
scribe $4,000 to assist in feeding
the starving Armenians and Syrians.
The people of Duluth have never
failed. They have responded literally
and generously to every call of patri-
otism. 1t is humanity that is call
ing now.
Herbert Hoover says there is
probably no greater suffering today
than among the prosecuted peoples
of Asia Minor. They have no funds
and cannot secure government loans
and they have no other credit. It
Is to aid this distressing situation
that the committee for Armenian and
Syrian Relief is making it's appeal
to the generosity of the American
people.
In cablegram to the chairman Of
the committee President Wilson says:
1.-THE appropriation asked by Con-
gress for handling food relief is not
intended in any way to take the
place of the subscription being asked
for relief and rehabilitation in the
near east. I hope that this sub
scription will not in any way be in
terrupted or reduced. The need is
Immediate and very great"
-Four million people in the near
east are actually starving for the
necessities of life. No greater hor-
rors have ever been perpetrated than
the massacre of the Armenians by
the Turks. The stories of the sui.
fering they have endured are the
tragedies of the age. America expects
the people of Duluth to respond to
the call of this great liberty lovine
