OF Season PIeases

Typicaily nice American girls were
Uncle Sans Nleces,' the Misses
Howlette and Chamberlain and the
two Misses wilkins. who opened the
Eiks winter series OF entertainments
with n musical program and comedy
skit at the Elks temple last night.
The program showed talent In spots
and n willing enthusiasm all the way
through that drew plenteous applause
from the audience.
Miss Chamberlain made a JIlpsbla
hit with couple OF Scotch ballads
and Miss Howiette did couple OF
readings Of Riley's poems that evok-
ed generous hand-clapping. Miss
wilkins at the piano was an efficient
accompanist. The other Miss Wilkins
displayed n fine mezzU soprenO voice
In the quartet numbers.
The second half % the program
was a comedy skit In which a tele-
phone was a central pivot. An Irish
cook with a variable temper pre-
destined TO always get the wrong
number. precipitated many laughable
situations.

BERLIN, Feb. 6.-The Foreign Of
hce is meeting with one rebuff after
another with its first batch of diplo
matte appointments. Following the re-
lection by Madrid OF the appointment
or Herr Drosen and by Rome of Won
Luclus, 1t is now reported that Toxic
is raising objections to DR.. Solf and
Brussels to Dr.. Landberg.
Some criticism has been made in the
press OF Foreign Secretary Mueller for
failing beforehand to ascertain whether
the prospective appointees would be
acceptable. Spokesman for the Foreign
Office replied in their own defense
that the old precedent of taking sound
lngs only in the case of embassies of
the first class had been followed by
the present government.
The filling of the post in Washington
IS naturally being held in allegiance
pending resumption of diplomatic re-
lations, but several candidates have
been named. In high government cir
cles the Tribune correspondent has
heard mentioned the names of Baron
Won Richthofen and DR.. August Muel-
ler. DR.. Albert Suedekum is being
spoken of among outsiders. Richthofen
formerly was an attache in Washing
ton and is now prominent here in the

high office under the Kaiser. He was

If Relief Fails
In Fuel Crisis
Public Utilities Able to Get
Only Days Supply ofCoal
After Employing Every
Agency of Transportation

Use of every known agency for get
ting fuel into Manhattan yesterda,
assured the city Of transportation facil
tiles, light and power for another da,
only.
Whether the car lines, electric igh
and gas companies will have sufficien nj
fuel to operate on over tomorrow was
open to doubt last night, according tc
Public Service Commissioner Lewis
Nixon, who had made thorough can
vass Of the situation.
Even the temporary relief already
obtained by the city required the CO.
operation of Federal, state and CITY
officials, as we'll as that of mine oper-
ators and coal dealers. The United
States Railroad Administration issued
orders giving fuel cars bearing cards
identifying them as property of New
York public utilities preference over
anything on wheels.
Coal for City Gets Preference
The Pennsylvania Railroad for a time
abandoned efforts to move any
freight other than coal where cars and
fuel were ready for movement to the
city. Other roads announced that fuel
bound for the city was given prefer
ence over everything on their lines
In spite of these relief measures but
one public utility within the greater
city succeeded in increasing it's visible
supply of fuel. The Brooklyn Rapid
Transit system reported a net loss Of
half days supply in coal The Inter
borough sytem was the fortunate excep-
ton, with 1000 tons of coal more on
hand at night than when it began
operation early in the day.
Conditions in the neighborhood of
New York, especially localities forced
to depend upon the city for fuel, were
pictured as desperate last night. At
Long Beach, l.. l., for instance. the
supply of fuel had not been replen-
ished for more than seventy-two hours.
while no train, or even automobile. had
reached the resort city for more than
forty-eight hours
Other Long Island towns were in
equally serious need of outside aid.
Because of difficulties Of train opera-
tlon, as we'll as the fuel famine. it
was impossible to reach them with coal
trains last night, however
Small Supply Promised
Efforts were being concentrated last
night on getting sufficient coal to tide
water to keep up with the city's daily
coal consumption. The B. r. T. and
Brooklyn Edison Company, which
store together on Staten Island, said
last night that they had been as
sured that 800 tons of coal day
could be brought to the city from
Staten Island. This will serve as a sub
stantial supplemental supply to the
slender stream of fuel reaching that
borough by rail.
A plea that all ELECTRIC current and
gas saving possible be attempted by
the PUBLIC was made by Mr. Nixon
last evening. He said that only by
such economy would it be possible to
pull the city through its present
dilemma. After a morning conference
with representatives of the railroad
administration, he issued this state
ment:
"Mr. Fisher, who is the regional di
rector for the Allegheny region under
the railroad administration, at his
headquarters in Philadelphia vester-
