The statement of the fuel administra
tion follows:
The fuel budget for the season 1918
1919 han been completed by the United
States fuel administration. We know
tho 'worst of a bad situation. A detailed
survey of the coal required during the
preent coal year for war purposes to
keep our Industries running and for do

Kstlmates Unexpectedly Higher
As our part In the great war Increases
we are confronted from montl to month
with unexpected additions to former es

greater demands on the man power of
the country, so that those responsible
for the conservation of fuel do not feel

one-half of the deficiency Conservation
must provide for unexpected contingen
cies affecting both figures of production
and of consumption.
One has only to remember that the
production of coal last season was 50.
000,000 tons greater than ever before ln
the history of the country and to reflect
on the enormous added burden the v ar
has put on our. transportation system,
as well as the ,man power which Is neces

understand that the fuel supply for this
year Is one of the most difficult and
threatening problems the war has pre
sented. It ls estimated that the Industries not
employed on war work will require some
thing less than 100.000,000 tons of coal.
All consumers of fuel, war Industries and
otherwise must participate In the saving

WILL REVIEW CASES
OF 45 MENNONITES
Department Believes Other
Factors Than Refusal to
Wear Uniforms Involved
Washington, June 11.
The cases of forty-five so-called con
scientious objectors sentenced to long
terms of Imprisonment at Camp Travis
nre assumed to Involve other factors
than refusal to wear the army uni
forms, War Department officials saj-,
otherwise the punishment meted out
would be extremely severe.
Disloyal propoganda among camp
mates nnd other such offenses might
have been involved. It ls recalled
that oncof the first objectors brought
before a court-martial was sentenced
to death on account of such factors,
though the sentence was modified
when brought to .the Department for
final review.
The cases tried at Camp Travis will
bo reviewed before the sentences are
confirmed.
San Anlonlo, Tex., June 11.' Forty
five conscientious objectors who had
refused to wear army uniforms have
been sentenced to life Imprisonment
by a court-martial.
The sentence was reduced to twenty
five years each by Brigadier General
J. P. O'.Vell. who reviewed the records.
General O'Nell designated Fort
Leavenworth. Kan., prison as the
place of confinement. The men will
be sent immediately to prison.
The men are nearly all from Okla
homa and members of the Mcnnonlte
faith. Some of the Mennonltes have
refused to bear arms, but donned the
uniform and accepted work In non
combatant units. The men who were
tried refused to nut on the uniform
ad refused to work ln any capacity
connectea, witn me arjny.
The trials were held Friday and Sat
urday nnd no evidence was offered by
the defense beyond the statement that
the men were of a faith objecting to
physical force. None of the defend
ants offered any explanation of their
failure to obey the command to put
on uniforms.

Friendly Suit to Divide Real

New York, June 11.
Legal proceedings to dissolve a trust

benefit of Henry Astor. great-grandson
of John Jacob Astor, founder of the
family fortune were before the Supreme
Court here todaj-. The suit. In which
Wlnthrop Astor Chandler appears as
plaintiff, is made necessary by the death
of Henry Astor last Friday at his coun
try home at West Copake, Columbia
County, near Albany.
Henry Astor was a son of William B.
Astor and was eighty-six ycars old at
his death. When he was a lad" of twenty
he fell in love with and married pretty
Malvlna Dlnehart, the daughter of his
father's gardener. The marriage angered
Henry's father so much that when he
died leaving a $100,000,000 estate, he
cut Henry off In his will. Under the
terms of the will made by Her.-y's
grandfather, however, the former still
enjoyed the income from about 125 nar-
eels of New York real estate left by
.ionn jacoo .Asior, tne property which
It Is now sought to have divided among
the children of Henry's brothers and
sisters. A suit In partition such as was
commenced Is the legal way of termi
nating the trust.

REALTY DEALERS ON JAUNT
Hold Annual Outing at Lu Lu
Country Club
Long before the rest of the city was.
astir today, real estate dealers of the
city, In conjunction with sundry clerks
and office nttaches. had arisen, shaved,
and hurried off ln the direction of the Lu
Lu Country Club.
Reason? The annual outing of the
Philadelphia neat Estftte Board. And
they say It's going to be "some" outing.
The date had been originally set for
May 2.1, but Uncle Sam said he needed
a few real estate men to help In the
housing program. All such things as
outings and other Immediate pleasures
were thrown aside and the real estate
men rolled up their sleeves and, did their
"bit" with a will.
Today, however. "Is another day" and
the mecca of the merry-makers Is at the
Lu Lu Club whereTthere aren't any such
things as telephones, housing problems,
or "where-do-we-get-a-house" queries.
There will be athletic sports, music, and
(you bet) a bang-up dinner.
PREDICT DRY VICTORY
ON SENATE MEASURE
Advocates Believe Jones
Amendment Satisfactory to
Wilson and Hoover
Washington. June 11.
Nation-wide prohibition for the dura
tion ot the wnr npproached rapidly
today.
Advocates of the cause were confident
of victory when the Jones amendment
to the agricultural emergency appropri
ation bill of straight piohlbltlon meas
ure comes up for, a vote. Prohibition
members of the Senate belletc that the
Jones amendment, which prohibits
whisky sales and use and the making
of beers and light wines thirty days
after the passage of the act, has set
aside the opposition to the Randall pro
hibition which President Wilson and
Food Administrator Hoover have voiced,
The executive opposition to the Randall
amendment was based on the fact that
It would stop the manufacture of
liquors, but would leave a considerable
amount of whisky ln bond to be con
sumer, and that this would place the
nation on a whlsky-drlnklnk basis. The
Jones' amendment would obviate this
objection by prohibiting all traffic In
whisky Immediately upon approval of
the bill. It would allow thirty days
for manufacturers of other alcoholic
beverages to use up their stoncks on
hand.
The Jones amendment Is now In the
hands of the Senate Committee on Ag
riculture. This committee Is scheduled
to meet tomorrow. There Is little doubt
that the committee will return a
favorable report on the amendment. In
asmuch as a majority of the members
of the committee as known to be
strongly In favor of prohibition.
While the prohibitionists appear to
have a good many votes In the Senate,
It Is possible the Jones amendment may
be thrown out on a point of order that,
an amendment dealing with- prohibition
has no place as a rider on an agricul
tural appropriation bill.
In the event that the Jones amend
ment is adopted by the Senate, there
still remains the question of whether
the House will accept It as a substi
tute for the Randall amendment, vvhlcb
left the question to the President,

WATER SHORTAGES
Neglect to Extend Capacity
and Increased Consump- '
tion Blamed
WAR ADDS TO DEMANDS !
Early Loan for Bureau and
Greater Pumpagc for South
Philadelphia Planned
A water shortage in the central an
southern section of the city Is Utile less
than a certainty. Two factors enter Irfto .
the present situation. One Is Councils' S
failure to provide loan money for needed,
extensions and the other ls the Increased
consumption by war Industries. '
Twice each year the Bureau of Water
finds Itself unable to keep supply equal.
wlth'flemand nnd the arrival of the sum
mer months bids fair to result In a
shortage even grcat'er than was ex
perlenced In past years. Last winter
open hydrants lo(kecp pipes from freez
ing was the. reason given for a shortage
that- caused general complaint from
business houses In the central and south
ern section of the city.
Chief Davis, of the Bureau of Water,
with a very limited amount of jiioney
on hand, hag repaired most of the pump
ing and filtration apparatus at Torres
dale and Lardner's Point and hopes to
be able to run both tn'ohster plants at
capacity nil summer. Capacity at these
and other plants means an outside limit 'r
of 350,000,000 gallons of filtered water
each twenty-four hours. Already con-'
sumption has nearly reached that point,
and a steady Increase Is predicted as the
summer progresses.
In addition to high rate of consump
tion the dally Increasing demands of
shipbuilding Industries and war muni
tion plants places the bureau In a posi
tion of being unable to supply all de
mands In sections south of Market
street. Director Datesman, of the De
partment of Public Works, estimates In
creased consumption because of war ac
tivities at 50.000,000 gallons dally.
Where this extra supply is tq come from
no one knows.
ls.000,000 Loan Tlanned
The after-the-war program of ac-
tlvitlcs tentatively mapped out by city
authorities calls for an early loan for
the Water Bureau and plans have been r
completed for extensions and new pump-
Ing service for South Philadelphia. ,.
which will cost the city In the neighbor- J
noou or 8,ooo,ooo under before-the-war
prices. In the meantime little or nothing
Is being done to meet what Is admittedly
one of the greatest emergencies resulting
from Philadelphia's sudden growth as a
shipping nnd manufacturing center for
war supplies.
In discussing the water shortage and
the probability of greater trouble as
the summer projresses, Director Dates
man said:
"Our desperate situation Jjaa been
forced upon us directly by the war. The
war demands have Increased, until Chief
Davis, correctly claims that they amount
to about IB per cent of the capacity
of the works. In the northwest section
therw Is an establishment which Is do
ing dental work for the Government. It
wants twice .as much water as it Is get
ting, and the chief says that It Is Im
possible for him to respond to tho call
In that section. Take the BH11 Works
alone: It has called for au increase
of l'O.OOO.GOO gallons a year, half a.. ,vj
million gallons dally. In Its supply.
West Philadelphia,' Peril '
"If the Falrmount Dam breaks, all of
West Philadelphia will be out of water
at once. Doubtless Councils soon will
be able to find the 65,000 which has '
tee'n asked to repair it, but other breaks
can occur which would be hardly less
serious, and $65,000 Is a drop In the
buckot compared with the big needs of f
the system. Chief Davis has presented '
a program ot Improvements and exten
sions of the works which could be car
ried out ln four or five yearn, which
would cost 18,000,000, and which would 'i
mean a capacity of 400,000,000 gallops x
a day. It Is not a case like that of iho
elevated railroad system, where tho ex- .
penditure ot $2,700,000 on the Arch and
Locust streets loops would be useless v
without $34,000,000 for the entire Broad -,
street system. The water works exten- ,
slons can be built In units capable ot ,
rendering full service If we had IlI.OOO.-v
000 or $3,000,000 a year."
