SAVING COAL AND SHIPPING
aWrC1t"'
Mar tr-Moat Jtjts
v-'.' 13 on(
The Woman Who
Changed
By Jane Phttps
Fuel Administrator Garfield plans' a reorganization of
the fuel supply system. He will have coal used as near as
possible to the place where mined. It is pointed out that
the coal from the Pocahontas mine was last year hauled to ;
Chicago some 2,000,000 tons of it, a distance of 0G0 miles.
Under the new arrangement Chicago will be supplied
from mines within a radius of 3:U miles, or a saving on,
the haul from this one coal mine of :s:0 miles for two mil
lion tons. This is but a sample of what will be done. The
country is "divided into some fourteen zones and it is
purposed to supply each of these from the nearest mines,
those within the zone if possible. It is also intended to
see that coal users get their supplies in as soon as possible
so as to keep both cars and miners busy all the time. The
intention is to have each factory and city lay in a stock of
coal as far in advance as possible. It is claimed there will
be an excess production this season over last year of not
less than 10 per cent. While this is being done in the in
terest of providing fuel as the direct motive, there is be
hind it an attempt to do away with car shortage, and to
also conserve shipping on the Atlantic. Yesterday the de
partment called attention of those, having relatives in
France, that dainties can be purchased more cheaply
there than in the United States, and urging relatives not
to send sweetmeats and such things to the boys at the
front. The statement is made that recent mail shipments
composed largely of "goodies" for the boys occupied
120,000 cubic feet of space and space that is badly needed
iust now for getting necessaries such as food and clothing
to our soldiers. It is also suggested that conservation of
cars be aided by refraining from shipping any thing, but
such products as must be shipped. At the same time it is
pointed out that by refraining from travelling unless
when necessary that a great conservation of cars, and
coal will naturally follow. It is not necessary to negle't
one's' business to do these things, but only refraining
from doing the unnecessary things that use up, fuel and
require car's.

REPUBLICAN SENATORS BACKING KAISER
As soon as the kaiser launched his offensive against
the British the republicans in the senate began a strong
drive against the United States government. It is splen
did team-work, and is working out beautifully so far.
The kaiser is being informed by Senator Lodge and his
republican colleagues that the war preparations of this
country are a joke; that if he keeps on driving against
the British he will have nothing to fear from this country
and is sure of victory.
With the moral backing of the g. o. p. leaders, senators
and congressmen, Von Hindenburg's smash may prove a
serious blow to allied plans for victory, but this will not
disturb the conspirators in thia country if their own
political schemes are furthered thereby.
Former President Taft, Elihu Root and a few more,
who are patriots before they are partisans, seem to have
little influence in the councils of their partyperhaps
they have given up as hopeless the attempt to swing the
organization into line with the figU for world democracy.

GEORGE GOES AWAY
CHAPTER XXXVI
"I am going away for a few days,''
George remarked at tho breakfast
table. " It is not convenient to take
you so I have requested Mrs. Sexton
to remain here with you while I am
gone."
For a moment I couldn't speak.

"But Goorge. I don't need anyone

"I wasn't thinking of your safety.
You will have nothing special to oc
cupy your time while I am away, and
can learn a great many things neces
sary for you to know. By the way I
have arranged for Signer Torctf-i to
help you with your musio"
"Oh, thank you; that will be love
ly." Mrs. Sexton, almost forgotten in
my delight at the idea. I had intended
to ask George fo allow me to havo a
teacher. 1 feared I should get rusty
if I practised alone.
"I am glad the idea pleases you.
Perhaps you will sometime give me
credit s-f doing what do in other
directions for your good."
The distressing thoughf; of Mrs.
Sexton's being with me, returned at
Ms words.
Pleading In Vain.
"But C4rorge I will do my best to
learn all she wants me to if you
"won't compel me to have her here. I
would bo so unhappy while you are
away. I shouldn'f; have a . happy
minute."'
"Don't exaggerate, and don't work
yourself tip into such a frame of
mind. It is already settled that she
is to eome. And it may please yon
to know that she was no more anxious
to oblige me, than ycu aie to have her

Broodingly I stared at the coffee
pot. With all the luxury of my beau
fiful homo around me, i felt I would
willingly exchange it all for a little
flat where 1 did the work; and where
George was satisfied with mo as I was,
"Why did you marry me, George?"
I looked closely at him as I asked
the question. If I hoped to see him
show any sort of emotion af; the ques'

Yes. ' Always. "
But you are trying to make me

enough to want fo marry me, why
don't yon love me the same way now!
Why do you want me so difforentf "
"I Euppose it is hopeless to try
to make you understand, but when J
married you I was not blind fo your
faults, l intended irom the Iirst to
do all in my power to eradicate them.

while a majority of the remainder are
in the German crown prince's command.
Milifary experts consider that dynas
tic reasons aro afftcting that. German
offensive plans. Should the Bavarian
crown prince's offensive meet with a
measure of success, it is considered
highly probable the German crown
prince will take advantage of the situ
ation to launch a second offsousive in
tho Champagne region, for the purpose
of restoring ITohenzollern prestige.
Will Take No Chances.
If the Bavarians' offensive does not
succeed, the German crown prince is
likely to refrain from compromising
himself.
A year ngo, when the Germans re
treated onto the Hindenburg line, they
prepared what unquestionably w:as in
tended for a vast battle field upon
which they hoped to lure tho French
for a decisive battlo.
The entire plain extending northwest
and south of St. Quentin was denuded
of every tree, house and other obstacles
which might serve to protect the .trench
troops. Even the knoll on the southern
extremity of the plain, where Prince
Kitliel r reidrieh s hunting lodge is lo
cated was denuded of everything ex
cept the' lodge itself.
Through the Ilolnan forest southwest
of St. Ouentiu the Germans cut vast
avenues a hundred yards wide and many
miles king, for the purpose t permit
ting them from the heights behind St
Quentin to see any movement of French
troops.
While the French did not permit
themselves to be lured into, the trap,
nevertheless the vast prearranged battle
field exists unchanged today. Ihe Ger
mans apparently are seeking again to
utilize the ground which is most favor
able to the Germans and unfavorable
to the allies.

"You were all right in the environ

you to becomo the kind of a woman, a
