HOUSEHOLDERS WILL FACE COAL RATIONING

Supplies During Coining Winter Will Be Limited By Fuel Administration Order.

WASHINOTOV. Jnly 8.—"Rationing: of coal to householders was announced last night by the fuel administration as among: plans designed to prevent a threatened shortage of coal next winter. Each domestic consumer will be Tallowed only as much coal as is found to be scientifically necessary to heat hi* house to 68 degrees, provided every conservation rule has been obeyed. The iallowance for each householder, the announcement said, will be sufficient for omfort but "the thoughtless and wasteful consume!- who finds his allowance gone before thf end of the winter s will have only himself to thank if he has no fuel with which to heat his house. The administration's plan involves a department of coal allotments in connection with each local fuel admbrirtration ofBce and this system now has bean completed and will be put into operation at ones.

"We were armed with now- service muskets from the tower and ball cartridges, and instructed that they were not to be used until it became absolutely necessary for defense. "This was rather an unnecessary proceeding, for the locks were so stiff that we could not cock or uncock them, and the ramrods were almost immovable."—London 'hf-onicle.

MORE ABOUT MR. JOHNSTON. ''Mr. Johnston seems to be quite wonderful as he looks," I observed when Aunt Tabitha had concluded her story of the rescue. "I assume that the young lady is beautiful atod that a romance which will end at the altar has begun." "I suppose BO" returned Aunt Tabitha, wearily,. "Men allow very small and very insignificant things to influence them in the selection or tneir wives, but it is very wrong to do it. Selection ought not to be be on a basis of accident." "Don't be so pessimistic about it," I laughed. "Perhaps Mr. Johnston will not marry the young lady at all. It is even possible that she is already a married woman. For all you know, Mr. Johnston himself is married." "He is not." replied Aunt Taiiitha with positiveness. "He does not care for women, they say ami I suppose it' is true, for he has been besieged by all sorts of mothers wishing him to marry all sorts of daughters. Thus far, however, he has not succumbed and the indications are that he will not." "A woman 'hater?" "Not in the sense that he does not associate with them. It is merely that he likes other forms of amusement, and it is much to his*credit that he does. Men nowadays run after petticoats so much that it is not wonderful that the world is full of scandal." "One would think that you were an observer of suet, things, Aunt Tabitha," I said spitefully.4 "Instead, you are just a plain country woman enjoying yourself at a small resort." "My eyes were not given m® Tor nothing," retorted the old woman. "I suppose I can sec as well as any one. and I can hear about as well as anvone."

I knew very wHT that Aunt T^fthS was not underestimating the keenness of her vision and hearing, but I refrained from any mischievous remark. She went on:

SAFE HUE? HE ASKS

tion Station Make Citizen Curious To Know.

Editor of the Tribune:-—'* I notice that the Tribune reported "not a single arrest Fourth of July," and Sunday reported, "not an arrest Saturday night.'"

On the day after the

IVurthrf-the

Tribune also reported six cases where: the pockets of citizens hail been picked at the fairgrounds celebration, and today I notice a woman was robbed" right 1n the traction terminal Saturday night.

It occurs, to me that if such bold and daring crimes am very prevalent, it is hardly in good grace to brag about the absence of arrests. No arrests, when the people are being robbed right and left, do not reflect any credit on the police department. It has been a long time since a crowd of pickpockets felt that it was a safe thing to come to Terrs Haute on any big day to loot the pockets of our citizens.

Where does the Tribune "get that stuff' about not a single arrest? If we are going to brag on the absence of arrests by the police, we should not publish the next day how many citizens were robbed on the Fourth of July, or how many women are robbed In the traction station.

My advice to the police wtwM'bP to make some arrests, and maybe they will happen on the individuals who seem to believe that it is safe to ckrty on their nefarious work nere publico places and right in broad daylight. It hardly adds public confidence in the police department to brag about the few arrests and fill a parallel column with citizens being plucked here and there. If there haven't been many arrests, the only thing to say is (bat there ought to be more.

BALZAC WOULD STAB.VE.

Rationing Would Have Gone Hard With Famous Trencherman. Some of th$ geniuses of earlier generations would have a hard time mf it with civilian rations in TSurope. Many of them are still remembered for their appetites. Thackeray and Dickens were both masterful at the table. Batxac was equal to making a dinner of eight dozen oysters, twelve cutlets, a duck, a pair of partridges, and all the customary "trimmings." Herbert Spencer om* went upon a vegetable diet, and declared that afier he rettimed to meat he had to rewrite everything he did in the interval to get virility into i*.

Uegardless of the effect, on genius, rationing is spreading. Even walking sticks have come under governmental control in England, and presumably a prospective purchaser will soon have to present a license to carry such an ornament.—Nation's Business.

"Everybody in the hotel knows all about Mr. Johnston, and it is perfectly natural that they should, for his is an unusual case. A few years ago he was gigging flounders on the beach here with a home-made wire gig. Now he is a multi-millionaire with almost unlimited possibilities for influence. Such a record in a little more than ten years is so unusual that it is startling. Naturally people talk about such things, and it is just as natural for peoples to listen."

Friday we received word that at 11:30 at highf we were to receivu -patients and details were named for-tho work of properly receiving them and bathing them, for Uic first tiling for our patients is a bath in a real bathtub with Ivot water and real soap, well, no taps were sou tided und the boys for the most part remained up waiting for the train,"which, however, clid not arrive until 5 o'clock in the morning.

More First-Aid Dressings.,' "From then until 1 o'clock what 1 sa,«, and felt I cannot, adequately describe, but after the patients had been put in their feathery beds I thought I would like to have the people of the TTnited States who do not feel that this is an American war see what was to be seen in this little French village in the early hours of thq morning. Would that they could have *een and heard the things and stories that were seen and heard after that dinky French engine with it* hospital cars tilled with human martyrs—-ripped, torn, hobbled and bandaged—pulled into this' place, men who had gone through the worst that the world has to offer. Then, after having seen and heard, let them return to the United States and say if they could that this war is far a»ay from the United States, that their, income taxes are too great a drain on them to permit them to aid the many necessary funds and contributions for the successful prosecution of the war: that they are top busy (hoarding dollars for personal use) to give time to war worlc that they can not buy Liberty bonds, etc. in effect, that they can not do much of anything toward aiding the American soldiers and their allies.M "Among the hundred patients, direct from the horrible battleneids of the Soissons district with only the first aid dressings of the battlefield, with the grit of days of accumulation worn into their faces, bodies and clothing, embedded in many instances in blood clots, were French, British, Algerians, Chinese, Hindoos, Moroccans and other races.

These and-many, many others equally brave but for too numerous to describe, are men whose very breath of life is an inspiration to any one with red blood in his veins— inspire patriotism, goaded with hatred that instill resolutions such as will not be satisfied until the cause is removed.

Red Cross Gives Comforts. "It does one good to help these heroes and causes one's hands to itch for a chance to be up and doing in deadly fashion. One wants a gun with which to shoot and shoot to kill, to exterminate a menace. There is satisfaction in giving care to men who have not known what care meant for weeks and weeks, but thfe real feeling is in the other direction—toward active service at the front.

A heart of adamant would have melted at sight of these men, many of whom admitted that they had not had a bath in two months, as they sank into a tub of hot and clean water. Whether he was cai'rja bod}' full

much about cotton that he undertook some ventures on his own account Which succeded very well. Two years ago he and two associates went to New York *nd started some ,sort of campaign with the result that Mr. Johnston made a. great deal of money. Then he seems to have bought all the cotton in the country—cornered it. they say—and he made a great deal more money. Now he is said to be tho richest man in the south and the greatest cotton expert in he woi id."

Facial expressions seen in that bathhouse would have filled the hardest of hard-hearted with emotion.

It was the care the army and the Red Cross arc organi'/ed to give. It waft wonderful. While theae men have been through hell, have offered their lives and will offer them ag-aiii after their discharges from the hospital, we still find at home men who are talking or their war burdens.

X-Ray Great Help.

Today the operating room was buzzing with activity, as did all part-: of the hospital for that matter, tb" X-ray department being especially busy. A patient is taken to the X-ray where his v. ound is photographed. Then he go^s to the operating room and l:.y the time he has bee»t given hi«=: anaesthetic the picture is finished ani in the hands of t'ie surgeon who knows exactly by it what is to be done. The floor was literally covered wf*h shrapnel and bullets while the patients were receiving the best of care and gentle handling, something almost unknown to the soldier. It really is wo .derful the co-operation of the surgical department and the X-ray. "The whole trainload went to H. 32 but in the evening another train with not quite half as many—all British—was received by B. H. 31 which is nearby 32. Today we received several ambulance loads of Americans who have suffered from boche gas. Outhospital "A", where all the surgical work is done, is a melting pot of tlif world now. On one floor wc have eleven different nationalities. "The big bunch we received came direct, without passing through an evacuation hospital-, so thetr first dressings were still in place an ft had been for forty-eight hours. This is unusual and was due to the fierceness of the battle. These troops are the ones w ho stood before Amiens, were sent down to Soissons for rest after their desperate defense farth north, only again to he attacked in force. In face of it all they look upon it as all in a day's work."
