Telegrams have been received by tho district and local boards inning haste nnd that the requlslto detach ments In each case must be ready. Tho two Philadelphia district appeal boards said todny that they would hava enough names cetMed back to the local di aft boards by the end of today, Monday or Tuesday to enable them to call their men In time, Tho Gocrnor's telegram to the local hoards requests them to send word to the Adjutant General's olflce whether thay can supply moro than their local proportion ; that Is, more than tho IS per cent. Tho telegram explains that as some boards are delinquent tho other boards that aio more fortunate may bo able to call out a greater poicentage uf their quotas at this time as u complement to the deficient sections, thus making up the full share of this Stato as a whole. GOVKIINOIVS ADMONITION' Tho ovcrnor's telegram to the district boards Is ns follows: Telegianifi are constantly coming In to tho effect that cither nono ct not enough names have been certified to tho local bonds to enable them to have their quotas ready for shipment next week. Certifi cations must bo made not later than Saturday to those boards. Knough men who have filed no claims for exemption or whose claims can bo speedily disposed of havo been certified to tho district boards to fill needed quotas. Mut urgo that every effort bo made to have Penn sylvania men ready on schedule time. Tho reply of tho district boards to this notice was, "Wo are making every cffoit." uisirici Appeal Hoard :so. '.' lias yet to reectTe from a few of the local draft boards In Its jurisdiction the HMs of names of certified men. Tho regulations require that ten days must elapse after the district board lecclves such lists from the local boaul beforo It can ceittlfy thoo names back to the board for draft. In order to givo tho men time to flic appeals with the district board. Thus It becomes impossible for a few boards to get a certified list back In tlmo to comply with tho cntralnment sched ule. It Is expected, however, that enough names may bo certified back to those de linquent local boards of men who will not press their right to appeal, but who deslie to go 'with the first detail. District Appeal Boaid No. 2 has rccclevcd the lists from all of its local boards, how ever, and Is expecting to get them hack on tlmo or to certify enough at least so that the requisite percentages may bo called, N1X5RO EXCLUSION A PROBLEM, The negro problem breaks up the "Itua Hon again, however, for In some districts the negroes constltutoC0 per cent of the quota, leaving only a possible forty per cent of whites. This means that all the white, population available for military serv ice In those sections will be taken. It also has doubled tho work of conscription by the local boards, as they have to go all over the Individual papers again nnd de note whether they are whito or negro. That eacli local draft board docs not have to send 45 per cent of Its men now living In Its district In this first detail was pointed out today by Clinton Rogers woodruff, chairman of tho sixth local draft board, at Twelfth and Pino streets. The board may send tceelpts for as many men as hae already entered military service. In other words. If tho Sixth District Board has received i ecelpts from the military nuthoritlcn for 10 per cent of Its quota as having entered the Federal service that board may send with Its party thoso re ceipts and oply men enough to make up .".3 per cent of Its quota, thus making a total of 45 per cent delivered to the Gov ernment. With the plans of Philadelphia's fifty one local draft . boards for sending away 45 per cent of their quotas on Wednes day ranging from orderly completion to chaotic Incompletion, despite the gigantic efforts of tho two district appeal boards to get them ready within tho short time allowed, a sense of great relief Is felt today through the extension of the tlmo for entraining the men to September 23. This later date applies to tho twenty four boards whoso quotas aro to go to Camp Meade, Admiral Md but tho other boards are well prepared witn tneir req uisite number of men. In some cases tho local draft boards have had fully 60 per cent of their quotas certified back to them by District Appeal Board No. 1. Under the schedule prepared for Phila delphia's drafted men to Camp Meade eight trains have been arranged. Six of these will leave over tho Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and two over' tho Pennsyl vania. The local boards will select two points of mobilization. The men will gather at tho points designated and march to the stations.

Count Luxburg was still packing up to day while massed pollco guards patrolled tho German legation to guard him from possible demonstrations. President Irigoyen, it was announced, would grant the Teutonic envoy a "reasonable time" In which to utilize the passport handed him because of America's revelations of how Luxburg secretly cabled Berlin through the Swedish legation to sink Argcntlno warships "with out leaving a trace."

Tho press of AECuncion. commenting today, declared Luxburg would be person ally welcome, but not officially so. The Government Itself has not yet made Its position clear. Prestdent Irlogyen of Argentina was today understood to be preparing a plan for In demnification of German property owners whose buildings nnd belongings were de stroyed In Wednesday's rioting. Prominent Germans here adopted formal resolutions last night blaming Luxburg for all the trouble. A number of representative Swedish citizens likewise met and resolved that Minister Lowen, of Sweden, was en tirely responsible. mexico crrr, sept. is. Mexico will take no action In the Eck-hardt-Cronholm affair unless the United States makes further disclosures directly affecting the Mexican Government. Such a policy was announced today by high officials. The Government regards the revelations as "not of official Interest." Former Swedish Charge Cronholm was tin in hiding todav. and German Minister von Eckhardt. who yesterday found the American revelations "damn uninteresting, barred all Interviewers. El Pueblo, however, today printed an In terview with the German envoy ln which he flatly denied writing any letter recom mending a decoration for Cronholm. He said, according to El Pueblo, that he was merely "acquainted with Cronholm. having met htm at official ceremonies and recep tions." and added that he had never had further relations with him.

The cruelcwt forms of torture, frequently lesultlng in death, are being practiced on prlsonpia captured by the Germans, to com pel them to work behind tho lines on the western front This Is tho testimony of a Russian prison er, recently csenped through Belgium from the occupied portion of northern France, which reached the Stato Department today. Insufficient food of bad quality W causing decreased efficiency and many desertions from tho German army, this man said. The prisoners faro much worse than Uje soldiers. Ono two and one-half-pound loaf of bread, with a llttlo turnip soup, Is a. day's al lowaneo for four men, Occasionally there Is meat when some Injured horse has been killed. These are tha tortures to which the Rus sian prisoner was subjected ln an effort to compel him "voluntarily" to sign 'a paper stating his willingness to work. For six days ho was stood at attention In an open field from 6 a. m. to noon, then thrown Into a wet cellar. He was tlueatencd with death He was stood on wooden blocks against a post, his arms tied behind his back as high up as possible, then the blocks were kicked away and ho hung thus for twelve hours. He was beaten with rifle butts. He was forced tojitand erect from 5 a. m. to 10 p. m, for eight days. Still he re fused to work, and finally he dug his way under the electrified barbed wlro and escaped through Belgium nnd Holland. withdrawal of any form of ticket or privi leges In connection therewith. The chief Increases applied for were the cancellation of excursion rates at less than double the ono way rate, except to tea shoro points and Intermediate points where double tho one way fare would bo higher than from Camden to the seashore points; sixty-trip tickets to be ndvanced twenty five cents nnd foity-slx-trlp tickets twenty cents. A fight ngalnst the Increases was made by the South Jersey Commuters' As soclatlon. Tho modifications allowed by tho board are as follows- "Tho Atlantic City Railroad may mako effective forthwith tailffs Increasing the rates of commutation tickets ns proposed und Increasing excursion fares to a level approximating 175 per cent of ono way fares, "The West Jersey and Seashore Rallrond Company m.iy make effective forthwith tar. ifts Increasing tho rates for commutation tickets as proposed and Increasing excur sion 'fares to a level nppioxlmatlng 175 per cent of one-way fares. INCREASES ALLOWED "The Pennsylvania Railroad may make effective forthwith tariffs Increasing the rates of commutation tickets on the Tren ton division of said company as proposed by it "The Philadelphia and Reading Railway Company may mako effective forthwith tar iffs Increasing the rates or. commutation tickets ns proposed and Increasing the ex cursion fares to a lovel approximating 175 per cent of ono-way fares. "Tho commutation tickets are to be sold for tho same periods as similar tickets used In Interstate travel. "In constructing tho tariffs It will be necessary to adjust fares so that a proper relation Is maintained between fares to arlous points." Tho counsel In the case were II. W. Illcklo, for the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany and tho West Jersey rtnd Seashore Railroad Company: W. L. Klnter, for the Philadelphia and Reading Railway Com pany nnd tho Atlantic City Railroad Com pany, and II G. C Bleakly and W. V. Marshall, for tho South Jersey Commuters' Association nnd other objectors. Tho board, from the evidence submitted at tho first hcailng. which occurred In 1914, was unable to find sufficient proof for de termining Uio Justice of tho specific rates In question. It was Impossible, the report of today Bays, to make studies as completo for tho combined statements of tho four roads as for tho Individual carriers owing to lack of complete Information. The Atlantic City Railroad showed freight to be more profitable than passen ger traffic, while the reverse was true of tho West Jersey and Seashore Railroad. Passenger density and revenue per passen ger mllo wero greater on tho West Jersey and Seashore. The higher freight revenue per ton mile of the Atlantic City Railroad, tho report says, was effected by a smaller density of trafllc The report states that In the course of the first hearing, the West Jersey and Seaeshore Railroad Company put In evi dence as to tho valuo of its property, claim ing It to be considerably In excess of tho vaniatlon on which Its taxes were assessed. The Commuters' Association Immediately called the attention of the State Tax Board to this and after an Investigation, the as sessment of the railroad, which was $14, 840,871 In 1914, was Increased by about $3,100,000, which meant approximately jso, 000 a year more for taxes, 'The board says that It follows that this company must be allowed to eatn additional in come because of the Increased taxes. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company showed that Its Intrastate passenger traf fic was carried at a loss of $31,859. The Atlantic City Railroad and the Philadelphia and Reading Rallwy Company offered no testimony as to the valuo of that part of their properties devoted to Intrastate passenger travel, but shoed a deficit from this traffic. WASHINGTON, Sept 1.. Prompt action wan taken by tho fuel administration today to relievo serious coal shortages and stimu late production. So-called "luxury Industries" will be forced to wait for fuel until households and necessary Industries are amply sup plied, Coal export to Canada has been put un der license restriction. Tentativo Increases over the President's prices will bo granted next week to certain bituminous mines with high costs. An emergency bureau ln Administrator Garfield's organization Is arranging Imme diate relief for acute cases. Serious though the situation Is. Garfield Is .certain the country will pull through the winter without any shutdown of munition plants or public utilities. Some "luxury Industries" may bo forced to. close tempo rarily. He also unnounces his determina tion that no home shall freeze. Investigation has revealed that som bituminous miners wero unfairly scheduled In President Wilson's prlce-fixlnr. These will be given tentativo Increases as soon as tho President has npproved new sched ules drawn by the fuel administration arid the Federal Trade Commission. These in creases are designed to show the Govern ment means to bo fair to the operators, re lievo uneasiness ln tho industry and stimu late production. An 8 per cent decrease of production for tho week ended September 8 accentuated the shortngo somewhat, but the falling off Is believed due to the Labor Day holi day. Production to Juno so this year was the largest ln the nation's history. It Is developed today that the fuel ad. ministration has discovered enormous stor age of coal In many Industries and mines. This caused a stampede among other In dustrles having no reserve supply. To caro for acute cases, Garfield's emergency bureau has been formed to work with Judge Lovett's priority board and the oar service committee of the American Rail way Association. Tho fuel administration's action, coupled with decreased car shortage and prom ised Improvement ln the mine labor situa tion, stood out today as encouraging factors in what Is regarded as the worst coal sit uation ln tho history of the country.
