URGES ELKS' CHIEF

Bession todny will clear the ground for
the more serious work of the grcit peace
and victory convention of the Henevo

Tihlch struck n popular pitriotic kcy -
note in ita initlnl ccri'inomes iat niRni
by declaring nation wide 'Mir upon
bolshcTifim.
In consequence of the stirring plea
of Bruce Campbell, of Illinois, retiring
grand exalted ruler, for unswerving
Americanism, nnd the vigorous report
of the judiciary committee presented
by William M. Abbott, of California,
that no man who doei not wiiollv ub
Fcrlbe to American iitltutioiiH can re
main a member of the order, Elks nrc

formulating p am to arouse more than
1300 cities and t ns against the lied

a fighting district nttorncy and a big
mnn nlnslcnlh like most of his prede
censors, is eipeteI to swamp Albert L.

grand enlted ruler this morning.
There was not a vestige of opposition
to the election of (ieorgc .T. F Falken
stine, of McKeesport, lva , foi grnnd
leading knight, nnd it is probable the
administration slate calling for the re
election of (.rand rimretary Hobiuson
and Grand Truurer 'White will go
through.
Miss Booth Thanks Elks
Commander Evangeline C. Booth, of
the Salvation Army, addressed the con
vention this morning She had the
honor of being the hr-t woman ever in
vited to speak before the Grand Hodge.
Miss Booth thanked the Elks for the
generous help accorded the Salvation
Army, which recently received a check
for $60,000 from the organisation
"One hecret of the success of the
Salvation Armj abroad lay in the fact
that we were readv for any emergency,"
Bhc said. "There vjas littlo difference
between the mud of Flanders and the
Blime of the gutters In which we had
worked for many years before the wnr.
Our people had ministered to the sick
and dying on bedsides of pain, had been
present when poor tortured souls passed
on in this and many other countries.
Then when the war demanded our serv
ices we were ready.
"The transition from peace to war
was easy. I know we did not have a
great many people in France. Thnt was
because I deliberntelj chose to keep
down the size of our forces rather than
send untrained officers abroad.
"A war calls for skilled men nnd
women. It is no plnce for the blunderer
and the inept. Good intentions count
foj little if they are negatived by clumsy

had not been trained in our schools.
"Another secret of our success was
that we had the right caliber of men
and women with which to perform our
task. They wer.e inured to hnrdships,
f and they needed to pass no time in be
ing apprenticed to misfortune.
f "We have a practical religion. The
Salvation Army puts the theory of
Christianity into practice We apply
faith to deeds.
Elks Arc Old Trlenils
"The Salvation Army has long recog
nized its indebtedness to your order,
which has ever lent its full weight to
help us. The Elks stood bj ur in the
days before the wnr when the friends

today. It is an exact copy of the report issued June A by the United States
Geological Survey.
That broad, black line you see, marks, in addition, the average daily.coal pro
duction essential to meet the country's requirements for the present year.
It is the safety line. When the record is below that line, it shows there is not
enough coal for the people and their industries.
Production has been on the wrong side .of the safety line since January.

Coal consumers have failed to buy for use
during the coming Fall and Winter. 'Thus it
has proved impossible to keep coal moving
from the mines, and production in conse
quence has badly slumped. "
Available mine labor has been reduced by
the departure of miners to Europe. More
than forty thousand already have arranged
to leave.
Motive power and cars are waiting for coal
transportation now. Soon the nation's great
crops of grains and other products-will con
gest the rails and glut the terminals. It fol
lows that coal transportation, facilities will
be sharply reduced and coal, deliveries will
suffer.
