COAL STR|NGENCY
MAY LAST MONTHS
Board Of Trade Committee
Advises Continued Econ
omy in the D. c.

Though the soft coal miners have
returned to work. the shortage of
bituminous coal may be felt in. WASH
ington all winter. and the Washing
ton Board Of Trade committee on coal
investigation has appealed for con-
tinued care and watchfulness on the
part Of local coal consumers.
The committee went over the situa-
ton at meeting yesterday. at the
conclusion of which Chairman VIII
liam Clabaugh said it had found that
there rs every need for care and
watchfulness if the danger Of a coal
famine is to be overcome.
125,OOO.OOO-Ton Shortage.
There is at present a shortage of
approximately 125, 100000 tons of coal
in the country" said Mr.. Clabaugh.
Washington has suffered proportions
ately, If not worse, in the stringency
Of the last few weeks. The fields from
among the most nearly totally inact-
i've. The receipts Of soft coal for
weeks have been quite negligible, and
while the stored supply has met the
demand thus far. such condition
could not continue for long without
serious retrenchment-
The merchants, apartment houses
and other users of soft coal are again
urged to do what is possible by way
OF substituting small sizes of anthra
cite for the bituminous ordinarily
used
Shipping Routine Disarranged.
With resumption Of activity the
greatest danger lies in a too early
letting down Of caution. Bituminous
not reach a normal status during the
entire coming winter. The just-closed
period OF inactivity has naturally dis
arranged shipping routine. and it will
be some while before the regular flow
can be resumed. to say nothing Of the
shortage that must be overcome
In the anthracite market there is
Goa! at the very best, probably, will
shortage in some sizes, locally, and
householders are advised to purchase
other sizes wherever possible. The
stove and chestnut sizes are the ones
IN which the scarcity exists. In most
heating plants the use Of other sizes
makes but little difference. provided
reasonable care is exercised in the
handling, and the substitution would
save possible general shortage later
In the season."

ut should be recorded that although
this general offensive was fully outlined
at the conference no one present ex-
pressed the opinion that the final vic
tory would be won in 1918. In fact, il
was believed by the French high COM
mand that the Meuse-Argonne attack
could not be pushed much beyond Mont
faucon before the arrival of winter
would force a cessation of operations.
The choice between the two Sec
tors, that east of the Aisne, including
the Argonne forest or the Champagne
sector. was left to me. In my OPINION
no other allied troops had the morale
or the offensive spirit to overcome sue
cessfully the difficulties to be met in the
Meuse-Argonne sector and our plans
and installations had been prepared for
an expansion of operations in that di-
rection.

French Provided Planes.
TN aviation we were entirely de-
pendent upon our allies. and here
again the French government came
to our aid until our own program
could be set under way. From time
to time we obtained from the French
such planes for training personnel as
they could provide. Without going
into a complete discussion OF aviation
material. it will be sufficient to state
that 1t was with great difficulty that
we obtained equipment even for train
ing. AS for up-to-d combat planes,
the development at home was slow,
who provided us with total Of 2,676
chimes. The first airplanes received
from home arrived in May. and alto
gether we received 1879 planes Of
the de Haviland type. The first Amer
lean squadron, completely equipped
by American production, including
aeroplanes, crossed the German lines
on August z, 1918. AS to our aviators,
many of whom trained with our al
lies, it can be said that they had no
superiors in daring and in fighting
ability. During the battles OF St MI
hiel and Meuse-Argonne our aviators
excelled all others. They have left a
record of courageous deeds that will
ever remain . brilliant page in the
annals Of our Army.

Mark TWain's Imaqination.

Mark Twain had such a vivid i'm
agination, such a brain for embroid-
cry, that it was difficult task for him
to tell straight story just as it hap
pened-he could make up one that
was so much better. We all know
that Albert Bigelow Paine, working on
the Mark Twain Life" found 1t
necessary to discard much Of the au-
Photographic material that Mark
Twain had written. Investigation,
talks with men still living who knew
the facts, simply proved that the tales
were not so. And Mark Twain was
no liar. BE had a glorious, an almost
superhuman, imagination. AS he ap-
preached threescore and ten he said,
as quoted in the Life" 'When I was
younger I could remember anything,
whether it happened or not; but
am getting old, and soon I shall re-
member only the latter"

DEACONS HAD LAST LAUGH
Good Story of How Boston Merchant
Furnished New Haven Church
With BaptismaI Service.

In one of the older churches Of New
Haven there is very quaint and beau
t1ful baptismal service set Of silver
and no less quaint is the tale of now
the old church came by the same.
It was during the year that York
town fell that the trustees of the
church decided that the frame build
ing must have repairs and sent to Bos'
ton for six kegs of nails. In course or
time the kegs arrived on one of the
huge and slow-moving freight wagons
of the day and were duly delivered to
the carpenters.
Nails in those days were scarce ano'
expensive, each one being the hand
work of a blacksmith, and, as conse
quence Of the methods followed III
their manufacture, the smiths usually
turning out 100 or so on days when
they had nothing else in particular to
engage their attention, they were apt
to be very irregular in size and de-
gree Of perfection. The delight Of the
chief carpenter was, therefore, great
when, knocking in the head of one
keg, he found the nails of remarkably
uniform size and indicating the best
workmanship and material.
"Ye were in luck, deacon" he re-
marked to one of the trustees who had
been present to receipt for the six
kegs, 'for these be Spanish nails, made
at Toledo. Belize they were taken
from some Spanish ship by a sea
rover" BE began to beat in the head
of another keg and uttered an excla-
nation of astonishment.
'sThese bent nails, deacon!" he
gasped, his eyes staring.
They were not The keg was full to
the brim of Spanish silver dollars.
$50 I see, Master Thomas" the
deacon remarked quietly. Suppose
you head up that keg again, and I will
call a meeting of the trustees to dis
cuss this matter. We must write to
the merchant of Boston concerning it.
! The meeting of the trustees was
duly held that very day, and long and
earnest were the arguments that took
place. What was the proper course
for them to follow? Should they sim
ply write the Boston merchant that
one of the kegs had been found to be
full of silver dollars? The church was

cut Yankees to the bone. It was most
obvious that the Boston merchant had
obtained the keg In some unusual man
,ner and it was a logical assumption
that he had paid for it on nail-value
basis, as he had sold it.
Then uprose one who might have
done mighty things in finance had he
lived a century and a half later.
Let US write" he said, ito this mer-
chant of Boston town simply the facts
that there was an error in shipment"
And so they did.
In time came the merchants reply.
he had bought the kegs from pri-
.vateersman; that they were sold as
bought and that no mistakes could be
rectifed."
And there is no doubt that the dea-
cons chuckled somewhat dryly as they
ordered the silver dollars of Spain
melted down and cast into that service
which can today be pointed out to the
youth of New Haven as an example Of
of, we'll, something.
