FUEL BOARD TAKES
STEPS TO RELIEVE
SHORTAGE OF COAL
Railroads Must Deliver
Cars for Handling
Shipments
(By Associated Press)

Atlanta, Nov. 13.-Federal action
to prevent a coal famine in the south
has been taken by the fuel admins
tration in Washington, according to
telegram made public today by the
Atlanta Chamber of Commerce from
the national fuel board.
Immediate relief from the coal
shortage in Georgia and other south
eastern states is promised by the fuel
administration in issuing instructions
to railroads of the country to supply
the Louisville & Nashville railroad
with 1000 cars with which to handle
coal shipments to this section within
the next ten days beginning today.
The federal fuel administration
was apprised of the situation exist
ing in the south the latter part of
last week following meeting of civ
ic bodies here. At the meeting it was
announced that the reason for the
coal shortage in the southeast was
due principally to the lack of cars for
transporting coal from the mines in
Tennessee, Virginia and Kentucky,
The Louisville & Nashville rail
road, which commands accounts to
these mines, reports there was plenty
of coal on hand at the mines, but,
owing to the car shortage, it was un-
able to supply the demand.
In connection with the fuel short
age, Governor Thomas w. Hardwick
Sunday received an invitation from
Governor Thomas E. Kiley, of Ala
bama, to attend a conference in
Montgomery Wednesday of the chief
executives of Louisiana, Mississippi,
Tennessee, Florida, Alabama and
Georgia to discuss means to remedy
the coal crisis in these states. John
7. Boifeulett, fuel administrator of
Georgia, will represent this state at
the meeting, Governor Hardwick
now being in New York.

Appearance Is in Marked
Contrast to That of
Versailles Treaty
ENGLAND MAY NOT GO
Sees Danger in Farley
With Conditions as
They Are

Lausanne, Nov. 13-The delegates
Of the Turkish nationalist govern
ment have come to Lausanne as VIC
tors and their mood is wholly differ
ent than that of the crushed repre-
sentatives of the Sultan who begged
for mercy when the treaty of Sevres
was drafted three years ago. Their
leader, Ismet Pasha, boasts of sup
port from the Russian Soviets and
alludes to the uncertainty which new
governments in England and Italy
have given to the solidarity of the
Entente. Mustapha Kemal Pasha
certainly seems well entrenched in
Europe today.
His delegates to the Lausanne
conference are confident of being
granted their demand that Turkey
shall be relieved of the capitulations,
which are extra territorial rights
granted d. to foreigners in Turkey.
They are also firm and confident in
believing that full sovereign rights
will acrue to their government
through the conference. Their atti-
tude brings to mind the remark once
made by ar American diplomat that
putting Europe out of Turkey would
come nearer to effecting peace in
the Near East than putting Turkey
tou of Europe.
Having beaten the Greeks at
arms, the Turks apparently are de-
termined to recover practically all
Of the European territory wrested
from them by the world war.
The Turkish delegation is outspo-
ken in its criticism of the postpone
ment of the conference here. APP
parently eager to embarrass the Bri-
tish and French efforts TO come to
some sort of agreement before fac
ing the Kemalist representatives,
the Turkish group is insistant in ur-
ging a quick start of the discussions
which were to have begun today.

Kelly and MacCready to
Leave New York for
San Diego
WESTWARD ROUTEBEST
Strain of Sudden Climb
Will Thereby Be
Avoided

Grove City, Pa, Nov. l3.-Lleuten-
ants Oakley Kelly and John Mac
Ready are planning to make their
next attempt to fly across the conti-
nent by airplane, without a stop,
shortly after the first of the year.
The route will be from New York to
San Diego.
This announcement was made here
yesterday by Lieutenant Kelly, who
flew from McCook field at Dayton,
in "runabout" plane to visit his
parents, Mr.. and RMS. W. ]. Kelly.
Local members of the American Le-
gion gave a banquet in his honor and
the airman was presented with gold
watch-the gift of local citizens, in
recognition of the long-distance rec
ord established recently when Kelly
and MacReady flew from San Diego
20 Indianapolis.
"We are convinced that the strain
Of climbing over the mountains in
California heated our motor to such
an extent that the cooling system
was damaged said Lieutenant Kel-
lily. at is one thing to make an alti-
/ tude flight, travelling light, but it is
far more difficult to fly high while
carrying a heavy cargo.
Mac and l feel certain we can
make the nonstop flight from New
York to San Diego without much diff
ficulty. The principal reason is be-
cause most of our supply of gas and
oil will have been used up and that
means that the plane will be eight
hundred pounds lighter while climb
ing over the backbone of Southern
California. We will not have any al
titude worries on the eastern side of
the Mississippi.
"a special Liberty motor is being
Fbuilt. We want to tackle the flight
Just as soon as the machine is ready"

Famous American Wom-
an Speaks in Reichstag
tag Tribune
WHAT SHE WOULD Do
Wants More Coal to Be
Available for the
Poor

Berlin, Nov. 13-Several hundred
persons had the novelty of hearing
an American woman speak from the
Reichstag Tribune when Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait yesterday delivered an
address under the auspices of the
Woman's League of Social Welfare
Workers of Greater Berlin. It,is be-
lieved this was the first time such
privilege was ever accorded a for
eigner.
The illness of Mrs. Gait, contracted
in Rome a fortnight ago, reached
such stge today that after the adj
dress her physician imediately or
dered her to bed and prohibited her
from receiving visitors. The physi-
clan said later her illness was not
serious.
Addressing her audience in Eng
lish, Mrs. Gait said the results Of
the war and the delay in settlements
connected with it were:
"Women never again have the
same romantic trust in men. Men of
the world have made such a mess Of
things that no ore yet knows how it
will come through"
After all the fruitless conferences
and talk engaged in by men since the
war, Mrs. Gait continued, Women
were getting tired of waiting and be-
lieved themselves able now to take
hold of some one thing and do it
right. Inquiries she had made dur
ing her European tour regarding
what old women would like to take
in hand had brought forth considera-
BILE sentiment in favor of having
the women of the world get behind
teh coal question and carry On such
propaganda that there would be
enough coal for everybody.
Democracy and the emancipation
of women Mrs. Gait cited as the
grestest things that had come out
| of the war. She urged the German
! women to keep up their faith and act
unitedly for their country.
Mrs. Gait was received by Chan
cellor Wirth Saturday afternoon and
in the evening was rendered a re-
ception by the Woman's> League.
