While tho anthracite coal tonnage
allowed the Ktntu of Pennsylvania by
the Federal fuel administration nt
Washington Is larger by 233,000 tons
than the nmount asked for by the Slate
fuel authorities for extra amount I for
factories and Is not suniclent ny nt least
300.000 tons to mee

dlistrl.il needs of the State
So declared William Totter, Klnle fuel
administrator, shaking this nflernoon
nt the Chamber of Commerce befoie the
annual meeting of tho Pennsylvania
Retail Coal nenlers' Association.
"It 1 am right," continued Mr. Pot
ter, "this 300,000 tons of nnthraclte
must bo deducted from the nmount that
1 have nsked for the domestic purposes
or Pennsylvania. It will, therefore, be
up to every retail coal dealer In this
State" to conserve this amount of do
mestic; coal In order that we shall not
only keep Pcnnsyluinln's vital war In
dustries supplied with the minimum
needs of anthracite, but nisi 'keep the
home fires burning.'

Mr. Potter told the coal dialers, who
will be In Fesslon here the rest of the
day and tomorrow, that their Industry Is
so vital to the life or the nation that.
In his opinion. It will always have some
form of Government supervision.
"You come, face to face with tho hu
manities," he said, "and I am glad to
bay that, with very few exceptions', the
retail coal merchants hnvo patriotically
pu operated In winning this war by en
deavoring to distribute tlieir stocK witn
even-handed justice, and with ear never
closed to the cry of the. poor and needy
In coal." '
Tho retail coal trade is so vital a
factor in the dlstilbmlon of fliel, Mr.
Potter declared, that the national fuel
administrator fell It Incumbent upon him
tn appoint one nf their number a member
of his national administration.
"To Phlladelphians." added Mr. Pot
ter. "It Is. particularly pleasing to know
that 1 refer to S. It. Crowell, vice presi
dent of the George II. Newton Coal Com
pany, and a former president of your
association, who Is representative of the
entire retail coal trade within the na
tional administration."
Klaboratlngon the national fuel ad

Muat 'iiere Anthracite
"As a result of this decision, It has
become necessary Inthis greut coal State

EXACT SITE tJNNAMED
!
A base hospital Is shortly to be es
tablished In Philadelphia, according to
a letter sent by General Peyton C.
March. Chief of Start of the United
States army, to former Senator Kdward
r. Hlewitt, of Scranton.
"The subject of a base hospital in
or near Philadelphia Is now well In
hand and a decision is likely to be
readied soon," General March writes.
"As to the lesl of the Slate." he added,
'Pittsburgh probably will be a second
center nnd other points are under con
sideration." Senator Hlewitt is chairman of a com
mittee named by T. J. Jennings, presi
dent of the Pennsylvania State Associa
tion of Kilts, to work nut a plan for the
establishment of a base hospital at or
near Philadelphia where Incapacitated
soldiers and sailors can be cared for.
The Klks offered their new home on
Arch street near Hrond for any use the
Government may see lit to make of It.
Auditor General Charles A. Snyder Is
a member of the committee.
In a letter written to Governor fltum
baugh ami referred to the State Com
mittee of Publlo Safety, Senator Hlewitt
suggested:
"Why can't Pennsylvania pnvvldc for
a largo base hospital In or near the
port of Philadelphia and 'In the' mean
while have the Commonwealth establish
a training school or schools, with a lim
ited course for men and women desiring
to beciflna war nurses?"
The Governor told the Senator he
senses the gravity nf the matter, "tho
Importance of which demands that we
should all unite In taking such prelimi
nary steps as will avoid any dlfliculty in
the care of our unfot lunate boys who
may be i etui nod to us from the seat of
war."

PRESIDENT WILSON'S order for the

'Even though tne Government should
lee fit tn consolidate the Philadelphia
companies and place a Government man
ager over all of them, as was done In
the case of the railroads," said Ed
ward M. Cooke, vice president and gen
eral manager of the Keyton Telephone
Company, "I think the general workings
would remain the same.
"Both tha telephone companies are
using their equipment to tho limit and
there Is no duplication of service, so I
feel that both will be needed Just the

the view that' General I.udendorff, tho

should not be' all the change made in the
draft laws. The maximum should be
raised to forty-five or fifty years. Many
men are not able to fight when they
reach fifty, but they could be put into'
noiicombatant brandies nt the service
and relieve for fighting duty thousands
of men held from the front.
"Former President Tuft's editorial
n. this morning's Public Ledger sounds
a warning that we need a larger army.
That Is fight. Tills tenimrnry victory
on tho western front does not mean
tho end 'of the war Is near, unless we
pour 3,000,000 fighting men Into the no
tlon and make the Marne the start of a
march to Germany.
"This war cannot end until the Ger
mans are either annihilated or uncon
ditionally surrender. To effect an un
conditional surrender, Gei man's army
must be.ilrlcn back across thu Ithlne,
oi else all the Germans killed."
General Young returned to Washing

Isaac beutsch and six policemen for con
spiracy to violate the Shern law In con

Tate sent him. The private detective ask
ed what ten police detectives he assign

fense, this morning continued his cross
examination of Ttltt, a leader nf the
thugs, who evaded arrest for nearly
seven months after the murder of Po

It was evident from the start that
dray meant to play off Itltt against
"Jimmy" Clark, who testified yesterday.
Clark stoutly maintained he was un
aware of the purpose for which the gun
men were to be used, llltt's admission
tended to show Clark In the light of a
leader of the strong-arm men, not only
guiding them, but commending their vio
lence. All tho defendants except Wlrtschaf

when court convened this morning. They

less Night Order
Beginning tonight, fifty arc llshta en
Broad street and Market ctreetX near
City Hall, must be darkened by theSfuel
administration's "Ilghtless night'? order.
The cluster lights on City Hall Plaza,
arc also to be darkened. Only the bot
tom tier of lamps may he lighted; -"Tha"1
big "Food Will Win the War" sign Is
banned, too, "so far as Illumination It
concerned.
The order restricting all outnlde and
shop-window Illumination was obeyed
generally throughout the city last night
the first of the Ilghtless nights fuel
administration officials said today.
A number of alleged violators were
ordered to appear at the fuel administra
tion ofllces late this nfternoon. It was
nlleged they neglected to turn out dis
play or shop-wlndow ughts.
Although the number of violators trail
.. ...... i.,c viuci ueuume cneciive last
night. Inspectors darkened 1200 llfhti
on Market street west of City Hall, and
120 stores on South street. In uih In
stance the business men failed to darken
a sufficient number of lights. j
ueweiry stores were granted exemp
tion today from total darkness. In win.
dows where stocks are displayed one
sixteen candle power electric lamp may
be burned as a safety measure.
N'o lights will be darkened in Fair
mount Park, as it was docided that there
Is no more Illumination there than nec
essary for safety. Illumination In the
amusement parks has been restricted
through a co-operative agreement with
the fuel administration. AH lights
deemed unnecessary, as determined by
inspectors, are to be darkened.
Changing the working schedule so that
some factories now active during the
day will operate only at night will bo one
of the methods to save electric enerry
discussed at a special meeting of War
Department nnd private engineers called
here next Wednesday by State Fuel Ad.
mlnlstrator William Potter.
Such a drastic change, If It goes Into
effect, proluibly would apply first to non
war Industries. The hours suggested for
work to replace the old schedule are
from 11 o'clock at night until 7 In the
morning. .

In striking' that this Government owes
It to your brave brothers, who are fight-,
