I). S. MUST SAVE FIFTY MILLION TONS QF GOAL

Only Strictest Economy Can Prevent Coal Shortage Next Winter. WASHINGTON. D. C, Aug. 21. Not even the most drastic restrictions and closest economies will prevent a coal shortage next winter, it is feared by officials of the fuel administration. The shortage, though it will be in bituminous supply affecting manufacturing, will be felt in some degree by the domestic consumer unless the country manages to save between 50,000,000 and 60,000,000 tons. With a weekly requirement of production in bituminous coal equal to more than the record weekly output from now until the end of the coal year, March 31, 1919, the last recorded week's shipments show the fourth successive week of purchasing output. The decrease was equal to 1,000,000 tons net, or 7.6 percent below the record of the welk of July 13, when production reachet 13.286.000 net tons. Cannot Make Up Deficit. An output of 14,500,000 net tons a week for the rest of the summer months would be necessary to make up the deficit to date, and the fuel adminstration admits that increased production cannot make up that deficit, particularly as the estimates of consumption are increasing dally through new war industries or expansion of existing war fuel needs. The loss of production for the week of August 10, which is fairly representative of the conditions generally from week to week, is attributed as follows: Car shortage, 7.5 percent; labor shortage, including strikes, 4.16 percent; mine disability 4.7 percent; no market, 0.2 percent; all other causes, 1.3 percent. The production of anthracite, which is included for domestic consumption, also shows a slight decrease, but there is little likelihood that it wl4 not exceed for the year the production for last year. New Record for 1917. Last year the United States consumed 650,000,000 net tons of coal, 100.000.000 of anthracite and 550,000,000 bituminous and the production fro that consumption was 50,000,000 tons more for the year than ever had been produced annually in the United States. This year there must be produced at least 735,000,000 net tons to meet the estimated requirements to date and these requirements are increasing, with no prospect of appreciable pruning, no prospects of sufficiently increased production and only the prospect of cutting off coal from the less essential consumers in part or entirety that the war work may go on. The war industries board estimates for steel needs alone for government work a total of 110.000,000 tons of bituminous coal, at least a fifth of the total consumption of bituminous coal last year, based on the American war needs for 22,000,000 tons of steel, each ton of steel requiring five tons of coal for its complete manufacturing and transportation. Weekly Coal Deficits. On July 20, following the record week of production of July 13, there was a deficit of 645,000 tons a week, or 0,651,000 tons total. In order to make up the total then there would have had to be a production of 12,472,000 net tons weekly for the rest of the coal year. Now the required weekly production to meet the deficit would have to be 1,500,000 net tons. Bituminous coal production for the week ending August 10, was greater than that of the corresponding week of last year by about 2,000,000 tons. The week's production amounted to 12,274,000 net tons. Coal Is Key to Victory, Allied Military Heads Tell English Miners LONDON, Aug. 21 Marshal Foch. Field Marshal Haig and Admiral Beatty, commander-in-chief of the grand fleet, sent messages of greeting to the coal miners' federation at Southampton! yesterday, urging a greater output of coal. "Coal is the key to victory. The miners of Great Britain must help us." This was the message from Marshal Foch. Baron Clathrop, the coal controller, told the miners that the supply was 36,000,000 tons short this year. The shortage should be kept down eight or nine million tons by a rationing plan and he hoped there would be a greatly increased output Referring to the coming winter, the controller said : "I believe that no real hardship will be inflicted on the ordinary householder but many may have to submit to a great deal of inconvenience and a change of habits."

Indiana Artillerymen

Cited for Bravery Daring Recent Drive INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., Aug. 21. Adjutant General Smith today received a letter from Colonel Robert Tyndall, commanding the Indiana artillery regiment of the Rainbow Divis ion, inclosing copies of the French orders citing the regiment for bravery an defficiency In the present drive. Colonel Tyndall says his regiment has been at the front for more than I a year without leave, and five months on the fighting line. He describes the fighting as follows: "Just before we came up here we were fortunate in Teing a part of the army that held up the German of fensive. We opened Are one hour be-j fore the attack and my regiment alone put 4.500 rounds of high explosives into the packed front lines of the enemy, and by doing this so destroy ed the division that was to make the! attack that the enemy had to bring in another division. "In fact, they exhausted their 25 divisions opposite us without gianing an inch. This holding the line made it possible to execute this attack that we are now making and we were given credit for it." ROY BAILEY FIRST UNION COUNTY BOY KILLED IN FRANCE A few hours after the appearance of the casualty list Monday, announcing that Roy Bailey, 20 years old, of Liberty, was reported missing in action, his parents, received word that he had been found dead on the battlefield. Bailey is the first Union county boy to give his life in the present war. His parents, when they received the news of the boy's death, said that they would rather have him dead than taken prisoner by the Huns. Bailey had been in France for several months. He was serving with an infantry company.

Lee Hammond, naval aviator attached to the Great Lakes Naval training station, today planned to return to the station from Grand Haven, Mich., where they arrived last night after having spent four hours in a disabled hydroplane miles away from land. Preceded by two patrol planes, McCutcheon and Hammond started on a trip across the lake to test a hydroplane of a new type. Engine trouble developed and they were forced to descend in mid-lake. Hampered by fog and rough weather and with their compasses out of commission, the aviators spent four hours repairing their engine, when the journey finally was resumed, started in a wrong direction, descending at Grand Traverse Bay and later making their way to Frankfort, Mich., nearly 200 miles north of their scheduled destination. Meanwhile, airplanes, tugboats and naval cutters had been mobilized by wireless and were searching the lake for the missing men. The search continued until the arrival of McCutcheon nd Hammond at Onnd Hrvti.

With Home Folks Behind Us We'll Go Through to Berlin, Writes Soldier

"War god-mothers" in America are receiving answers to letters they have sent to cheer "somebody's boy over there." Following is one god-son's answer received by a Richmond woman: I have Just received your letter which I think went around the' world before coming to me. I was very glad to receive a letter from you because word from back in America sure does help to cheer a fellow up over here. As for eating, we don't have anything fancy, but we have the kind it takes to fight on. Uncle Sam certainly believes in feeding his soldiers. We have plenty of white bread, and I feel mighty sorry for you people back in the states who have to eat war bread, if it is anything like the kind the French have to eat. I do not see how they can eat it. We do not fail to notice what the people back in the States are doing in order to give us plenty to eat, and believe me with the people back home behind us we are going right through to Berlin. But I have no doubt that it is some job trying to cook and eat as Mr. Hoover says. I have been seeing some funny things over here: tiny little trains resembling the ones I used to get on Christmas trees, but they haul the people around all right. The funniest thing I have rifn into yet, however, is the wooden shoes the people wear. They make more noise when they walk than a mule in a tin stable, but I guess they answer the purpose. You would be surprised to see the hardships the women are enduring over here. They work out in the WITH THOSE IN ARMY AND NAVY This column, containing news of Richmond and Wayne county soldiers and sailors, will appear daily in the Palladium. Contributions will be welcomed. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Rupe, of 77 Fort Wayne avenue, have received a letter from their son Lawrence S. Rupe, saying he arrived safely in France August 1.

He was on his way back to camp after a furlough spent with his wife in Kansas City. Word has reached Centerville stating that Private Raymond C. Kelley, of near Philomath, has been confined to a base hospital following a slight wound in action. It is understood that the wound is just below the right knee. He expects to be back in service soon. Robert F. Jackson has entered the machine gun officers' training school at Camp Hancock, Augusta, Ga. He was formerly located at Camp Taylor. Sergeant Jesse J.

Huffman enlisted in the navy last February at Pittsburg, Pa., and has now gone overseas for the fourth time. Lieut. George B. Hunt, of Ft. Harrison, spent Sunday with relatives here. Lieut. Hunt is in the engineer's corps. At the Freeman family reunion held at Lozantville last week, the following resolutions were drawn up in respect to Daniel P. Freeman who was killed in action, July 18: "Be it resolved that althoughh we bow in humble submission to Him who doeth al lthings well, that we extend our heartfelt sympathy in their hour of affliction to Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Freeman and bereaved family, and in their affliction, commend them to our all-wise God in whose words alone they may find hope and comfort.

Hamm of this city is so elated over the improvement in bis son's condition that he writes the following letter for publication: "To the Public My boy had been going down hill since last March. We had him under the care of a physician but he couldn't make any progress with the case from some ctuse. "His eye-balls were yellow, his skin was yellow, urine yellow, loeing in flesh rapidly. No appetite and no energy. We began to think we were going to lose him' and believe now we would had we not taken him to the Inter-State Doctors, which we did the 24th of last August. They hadn't doctored him two weeks till his eyes cleared up, skin began clearing up and he began to have a vigorous appetite. We only treated with them one month till they dismissed the case as completely well. The boy gained in flesh and now says he feels as active as a mule. "I shall always say a good word for the Inter-State Doctors, not only for their ability but for their honesty as badly scared as we were they could have run the case on us two or three months, but it shows from the conduct of our boy's case, that money isn't all they are after. J. H. HAMM, R. F. D. No. 1, Newcastle. Ind." The above testimonial is only one of many received by the Inter-State Doctors from grateful patients every day.

U. S. SOLDIERS HAVE GERMANS GOING ! WRITES H. M. RAY

Mlsa Hazel V. Ray, formerly of Richmond and nOw located In Washington, D. C, has received a letter from her brother, Corporal Harry M. Ray, who is with an infantry company. His letter spoke of the fact that the transport which carried his company over was sunk on its return trip. "In all probability you people back home know more about what is going on than we do," he said, "but one thing is certain, the American troops hare the Huns on the run, and he will soon find out that he had better quit." Ray stated that they had been in the trenches for some time, and that it was very uncertain when they would be relieved. He said that they were on the firing line at night, and slept at night, provided they could, amid the whistle of the shells and the bum of the airplanes. "We have been up in the mountains 8,000 feet above sea level, and it is just beginning to get warm now, in the middle of July," he said. He mentioned that it snowed the last of June and that the boys were wearing their overcoats on the Fourth of July. Ray also stated that magazines were also greatly appreciated over there.
