MARKET OPENS WITH
MUCH CONFIDENCE
U. S. Steel Conspicuous With Rise of Two Points During
Early Buying; Shippings Make Rally and Rails
Make Fractional Gains
By Associated Hress
New York. May 21.—(Wall Street*—
The week on the Stock Exchange
opened with a confident resumption of
the recent advance, industrials and
war Issues again leading. IT. S. Steel
was conspicuous for its rise of two
points to the new current maximum of
1245. Other stocks of the same class
gained I to 2 points In the first half
hour's operations. Shippings rallied
from last week's setback and impor
tant tails made fractional gains. Spe- '
cialties and utilities were featured by
Industrial Alcohol and Ohio Gas at
advances of 2 to 3 points. Aside from
a furthei moderate decline in Denver j
anil Rio Grande preferred there were
virtually no exceptions to the higher
trend. j
Metals, oils and sugars joined in i
the broad trading of the first hour. I
The turnover of that period aggre.- j
gated almost 300,000 shares of which
United States Steel supplied about
30 .per cent. Short covering and
fresh buying fully offset profit tak
ing. A temporary lull and moderate
recessions in leaders proved to be
in the nature of a breathing spell,
prices mounting higher towards 1
midday. Equipments and associated
specialties continued to dominate.
the market. Another reversal it*'
motors and accessories and the
heaviness of People's Gas and United
Fruit exerted Utile adverse effect.
Bonds were firm, international is
sues displaying unusual activity.

How New Law Will Make
Soldiers of Its Citizens
Washington, May 21.—Here is the
way the War Department will exer- |
else the draft—how a man now a j
civilian may become a soldier within j
the next few months:
1. On June 5 he registers in the j
election precinct in which he resides. ;
He goes on about business.
2. After a delay of several weeks, i
perhaps a month or more, the man i
whose name has been drawn is noti- i
tied by the War Department • Ither |
that ho has been exempted from serv- j
ice or that he has been selected. If)
j the latter, he is told when and where j
[ to report.
3. He reports at the time and place ,
designated, probably a local armory, |
I is given his equipment and transport- |
ed to a concentration camp.
In case he believes he should have |
been exempted and was not, he is en- j
i titled to carry his case to the local
| federal court for settlement.

Serious Coal Shortage
Blamed on Producers
and the Railroads
By Associated I're.'s
Washington. May 21. The bitu- j
minous coal shortage is blamed on !
the railroads, in a report to-day by j
the Gederal Trade Commission. Pro- !
ducers. by taking advantage of the j
lack of cars, are charged with re- ]
sponsibility, however, for prevailing j
high prices.
"There is no scarcity of coal in
the ground." the report says. "There
is sufficient coal in the bituminous
coal mines now being operated, not
only to supply the present demand,
but also to supply a greatly increas
ed demand. The unprecedented de
mand for this fuel in the past six
months together with the difficulties
of rail and water transportation, not
only have absorved the coal as fast
as it could be shipped from the
mines, but have led also to almost
complete exhaustion of the coal
stored at tidewater points and at the
docks on the Great Lakes.
"The country faces a serious state
of affairs in obtaining a commodity
which is basic to practically every
form of its military and industrial
activity."
"Under war time conditions," says
the report, "it may become the duty
of the government to take steps simi
lar to those found necessary by bel
ligerent European countries and not
only to regulate the distribution of
coal from the mouth of the mine to
the ultimate consumer by allotting
the quantity of the product which
the different classes of consumers
shall be allowed to purchase., but
also to establish the prices to be paid
by different classes of consumers.
* * * At a time like the present
excessive profits should not be per
mitted to be extorted from the public
by producers and distributors of any
prime necessity of life."

the court decided, are exclusive and
paramount.

and exclusive.

SINK SUBMARINE
BY NEW METHOD
Decline in Ship Losses Ex
plained by British Food
Director
London, May 21.—Kennedy Jones,
director of food economy, speaking j
at Edinburgh, said:
"I believe we are beginning to j
master the submarine trouble. There i
were those who told us in March
that the longer days would see a
rapid increase in our shipping losses.
They have seen a decrease, for the
longer days with clear weather pro
vide better opportunitis for observa
tion by seaplanes.
"There is another reason. We have
been able, thanks to the ingenuity
of our Admiralty and to the courage
.ind skill of our sailors, to make at
tacks by a new method on the Ger- j
man U-boats, which so far have been i
attended with success.
"That will, I think, .con
tinue. I hope and believe that in
the course of the next five months
Germany will discover she has made!
another miscalculation, that another I
of her tricks has been trumped; she I
wil realize that in no circumstances 1
is it possible to starve us out of tlic j
war, and that is tlie hone with which i
alone I believe Germany is holding j
her people together to-day.
"It is possible you may. have an
earlier termination of the war than
those in high command, always the I
most pessimistic of people, and i
rightly so, allow themselves to hope I
for."
U. S. to Have 500,000
Men on Front in Year
Washington, May 21.—The United '
States will be represented on the
fighting fronts of Europe, both land
and sea, by an army of perhaps 500,-
000 men and a powerful force of naval
vessels within a year. i
The Pershing expedition to France]
and the flotilla of destroyers now |
hunting down submarines in the Brit- |
isli war zone are but the beginning. I
Tills was indicated in official circles
to-day. Ample proof is found in the I
preparations which the government is
making.
Beginning to-day the "big push" for
volunteers for the military service
will begin. The regular army needs
more than 100.000 men to bring it to
war strength and the national guard
requires 170,000 additional men. Be
sides these, a volunteer force of 150,-
000 to fill the places of regulars with
drawn to train the volunteers and
the 500,000 selective conscripts are |
wanted.
With recruiting officers shooting: at
a total of more than 400,000 —and this
is regarded in War Department cir- 1
cles as the real test of volunteer
methods—every ounce of machinery is
to he brought to bear to All these
places before the draft gets into op
eration, probably late in August.
The general staff plans a call for
an army of approximately 1,200,000
within a year. Indeed, the total will
be swelled to probably 1,700,000 in
that period, as the second increment
under the conscription bill probably
will be ordered to colors before more
than nine months have elapsed.
Cleanup Force Working
in Central Part of City
The second week of the annual
spring cleanup started to-day with
the four Kangs of men covering a
large district in the central part of .
the city.
The remainder of the week will be
needed, healthy officials said, to coin
plete the work in the section of Di- I
vision street, as practically no col- I
lections of ashes were made for weeks
at a time during the winter.
ELKS TO ABANDON PARADE
By .Associated Press
Boston, May 21.—The parade
which is usually a prominent feature
of national conventions of the Or

written to the convention committee
endorsing its recommendations that
the parade be dispensed with and
saying that ::a 11 displays should be
avoided and the efforts of those in

I
plaints of Rerouting in j
German town
The Public Service Commission in
a decision dismissing complaints of
the Central llernmntown " Avenue
Business Association against the
routing of cars of the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Company on German
town avenue. Philadelphia, says that
if the commission found that some
business had been diverted by the ]
change ill oars it would not justify |
the commission "in sotting aside or j
disrupting a comprehensive re-rout-I
ing scheme installed for the benefit j
of the whole city."
The commission says that the pub- |
lie service company law "was not i
passed for the purpose of taking!
from the carriers their right of initi- j
ative or to supplant their discretion
by substituting our own. The ad
ministrative authority of the com
mission is to be exercised only when
and if the utility companies and car
riers fail to meet their public obliga
tions requiring them to render rea
sonable and proper service."
Commissioner Ryan has dissented
