As a second venture into the bus

The recent successes OF the bus

DISTRICTS ANTHRACITE coal,
SUPPLY NEARS EXHAUSTION

Does Washington face the pros
pect of a famine in household (an-
thracite) coal next winter?
This question was put to a num-
ber of coal dealers here last night.
The answer, they said. hinges on
developments within the next few
weeks.
Only one dealer of those can
vassed has any anthracite coal on
hand, and he has only q two-week
supply of pea coal.
Dealers were unanimous in say
ing that, no matter what develops
in the next few weeks. this citv
is mot going to have all the coal
1t wants." They predicted further
that users of stove coal here would
be compelled to resort to substi-
tutes before the winter is over. 3.
Most of the dealers were pes
simistic over the outlook for the
future. l.. E. White. head of the
company bearing his name. was
especially so.
He declared that because of the
strike of anthracite miners in Penn
sylvania (where all anthracite
mines are located) not a carload OF
this type of coal has reached wash
ington since March.
THE outlook is bad" said White.
"To tell the truth, 1t Is worse than
during the war"
This section Of the country will
be ignored for a while after the
anthracite mines are opened, ac-
cording to White.
Canada and New England will
be looked after frst," he said. They
need fuel more than we do, In the
hrst place. And then shipment of
coal to Northern New England and
Canada must begin early, SO as to
beat the ice. Most of the coal sent
np there goes by water"
Higher prices for anthracite coal
are Inevitable. White said. He
pointed out that Canadian dealers

Reparations Commission
May Also Draw on Cap

PARIS. July 20.-The reparations
commission will grant the mora
torium requested by Germany. 1t is
learned semi officially. on condition
that Germany raise an internal loan
to assist in her financial rehabilita-
tion. 1t may also be necessary for
the reparations commission to call
on some Of Germany's internal re-
sources.
Some officials are suggesting that
as the guarantees commission failed
to prevent the collapse of the Ger
man mark, it will be necessary to
create a more effective medium of
regulation for Germany.
The report of the guarantees COM
mission, which was considered by
the reparations commission today.
provides for double control of Ger
many's finances. first by a check up
on appropriations before they are
voted by the Reichstag, and second,
before the funds are expended.
Control of the German treasury
receipts and floating debts and pre-
vention of new issues of paper

PARIS, July 20. The allies are

German materials for the accumu-
lated Rhine army costs of $250.000,-
900 in a joint reply to Secretary of
State Hughes notes requesting re-
endorsement. The reply will be for
warded in several days.
The allies point out that they
themselves have been deprived of
cash payments for some time owing
to the state of the German finances,
and. therefore they are inquiring II
America will accept raw materials

COMMISSION GIVES
FAVORABLEREPORT
ON D.C.CAR MERGER
Public Utilities Body Op-
poses Plan for Stock
Replacement.

The Public Utilities Commi ssion
yesterday forwarded to Congress a
favorable report on the street rail-
way merger bill recently introduced
in Congress by Senator william H.
King of Utah.
The bill provides for the acquisi-
tion of the common and preferred
stock of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company by the Cap
ital Traction Company.
To acquire the stock of the WASH
ington Railway and Electric Com
pany and its subsidiary companies.
the Capital Traction Company
would be authorized to issue shares
in its own company and exchange
these share for share with the
other companies. The new Capital
Traction stock would bear the
same interest and have the same
par value as the stock for which
it would be exchanged.
Report on General Lines.
The Public Utilities Commission
makes it's favorable report along
general lines. 1t states that 1t has
always been in favor of the merger
Of the two street railway COM
panies and will support any plan
bringing this about.
An unfavorable opinion, however,
was given on the plan for stock
replacements. the Commissioners
feeling that 1t might result in so
much of the stock falling in new
hands as to result in a complete
change Of administration in the
tar
Several months ago the Commits
sion submitted a proposal for the
merger that called for the imposi-
tion of an excess profits tax on the
two companies so as to hring>their
earning powers to amounts suffi-
ciently alike to permit their volun-
tary merger.
May Seize Upon Payment.
Should the Washington Railway
and Electric Company refuse to ex-
change stock under the King bill
the bill authorizes the Capital Trac-
tion Company to seize. attach anN
condemn the stock upon payment
for a fair valuation.
In discussing the proposed mer-
ger under the King bill. the Com
missioners indicated yesterday that
there was danger that so much
stock would be issued to replace
that of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company that the new
stockholders would he able to con-
troll the voting strength Of the COM
bined company.
Such control would mean that
when the time came after the mer-
ger to elect new Officers OF the
merged company. the new stock
holders would replace the present
officers with those of their own
choosing.

Nations to Ask Citizens

THE HAGUE. July eo.-The good
ship The Hague. which rudderless
started its precarious voyage over
uncharted seas, a month ago. was
scuttled by its crew today and sank
beneath the waterE VITA the total
loss uncovered by its Insurance.
In deserting the ship the allies
and neutrals resolved to recommend
to the owners the desirability of
having all governments refrain from
supporting their nationals In at
tempts to acquire cargo belonging
to other foreigners without the lat
ter's consent. The resolution hinges
upon the governments here urging
the other governments not repre-
sented here to concur IN this de-
cision. The resolution provides that
no decision will be taken on this
question unless it Is Jointly with
these other governments.
Would Not Modify Policy.
Uncle Sam, through Charge d'Af-
faires Louis Suisidorf. has Informed
the crew. according to NJ. Cartier,
Of Belgium. that America concurs
in the decision. NJ. Cartier quoted
Mr.. Suisidorf as follows:
The United States has no inten-
tion of modifying the line OF con-
duct which II previously adopted.
Therefore no citizen of the United
States will obtain the support of
! this government in attempting to
acquire property in Russia belong
ing to citizens of other States. The
United States desires that this at
titude be made public"

The United States government
does not countenance any arrange
ment with Russian Soviet authori-
ties that would prejudice rights In
Russia of other nationals, the
State Department announced yester-
day. This policy is set forth in a
communication to the American
charge d'affaires at The Hague in
] response to inquiry from that
source.
