age; Householders to Re
ceive Full Protection
That Harrisburg will receive herj
full share of anthracite for domestic!
consumption next winter was the re- j
assuring word brought back from
Washington to-day by Ross A.
llickok, Dauphin county fuel ad
ministrator, who conferred with the
anthracite,committee of the Federal'
Fuel Commission. Mr. Hickok also
conferred with the state fuel com- j
mission at Philadelphia.
Harrisburg will receive 157,920
tons of anthracite for the 1918-1919!
winter season. This "is a substantial I
increase over the 119,629 tons which
have supplied Harrisburg's needs |
during the last two winters. It is
more than the amount that was esti
mated as necessary to take care of
Harrisburg householders next winter
when the fuel administration made
a survey of the city's needs. The
157,920 tons is to cover the period
from April 1, 1918, until March. 31,
1919.
The remainder of Dauphin county
will be equally well fixed during the
coming winter, the fuel administra
tion reported this morning.
To Reassure Many
A The local fuel administration made!
this statement as a reassurance that!
the small shipments of anthracite
here during May do not mean Hit
Harrisburg is facing a coal shortage.
During May Harrisburg should have
received 15,400 tons of anthracite,
according to the figures at the local
fuel administration office, but the
shipments amounted to but 8,884
tons. This was due to the fact that
hard coal is being shipped to the
New England states in large quan
tities to avoid a famine there next
winter.
"I was informed that the whole j
country has been proportioned and |
there will be absolutely no change'n j
the figures I gave you. The anthra- j
cite committee guarantees us that I
supply. There is no question at all
in the minds of the fuel administra
tion that Harrisburg will receive fuel
to the amount of the figures given
me yesterday," said the fuel admin
istrator this morning.
Mr. Hickok added that the dealers
will receive largely increased ship
ments of anthracite during the next
few months. Coal is coming into
the city now in largely augmented
quantities.
Saved by River Coal
The bituminous situation is seri
ous, however, with a prospective na
tional shortage of 60,000,t)00 tons.
Harrisburg is far more advanta
geously fixed regarding the bitumin
ous situation than many other cities
of its size because of the immense
amount of river coal used here. The
fuel administrator says that there
arc many industries in the city using
l iver coal which would have to sus
pend operations next winter if they
were depending on bituminous. The
Government will deny bituminous
coal to any but essential industries
Many of Harrisburg's largest indus
tries, the fuel administrator said
are regarded as essential.
The fuel administration lias re
ceived orders that in supplying fuel,
the railroads, domestic consumers,
hospitals. charitable institutions!'
Army and Navy cantonments, public I
utilities, byproduct coke plants which
furnish gas for household use, tele
phone and telegraph plants,' ship- '
ments for bunker purposes, munic-1
ipal, county and state offices are to I
be supplied first.
The local administrator, in addi
ion, has ordered every city dealer!
not to make a single shipment ofi
domestic size coal to any industrial
establishment, in order that house
holders will receive all the coal that
can be burned in their homes.

Despite long preparation the
Germans were unable to overcome
French resistance and brilliant
counterattacks by the allied troops

which fell into the hands of the
enemy during the first rush with
large masses of troops. The Ger

Troops who participated in the
battle as well as prisoners are unani

American Aviators High in
Air Brings Down Machine of
Enemy Behind Hun Lines
By Associated Press •
With the American Army in
Franc-e, Thursday, June 13.—Two
German airplanes were destroyed
and another apparently was driven
down out of control by American
aviators on the Toul front to-day.
Three American fighting airplanes
attacked a German patrol machine
at a height of 2,000 meters. The
German fled toward St. Miliiel with
the Americans in pursuit and then
to hehind the German lines at Thiau
court where the enemy machine was
brought down.
The other German was accounted
for in a fight with a German alba
tross circus of twelve machines and
three American fighting airplanes,
which went to the aid of two photo
graphing airplanes under attack by
the Germans. The battle took place
at a height of 5.000 meters over Nor
roy, north of Pont-a-Mousson. One
German machine was shot down in
flames while the other is believed to
have been crippled.
One of the American machines Is
missing. It was seen to go down in
a nose dive during the fight, but it
is believed the aviator landed safely
and was made prisoner by the Ger
mans. All the other American ma
chines escapeii unscathed.

Men Show Loyalty
With thousands of Harrisburg boys
in the United States service and
thousands more ready to enter the
conflict against the Hun. Harrisburg,
with a new and deeper feeling, is
to-day demonstrating her love for
the Stars and Stripes and the nation
whose symbol it is. They don't care
whether Betsy Ross sewed the fabric
for the first flag or not; they have
no interest in this controversy; all
they desire to do is to exemplify their
fealty to the nation, its government
and its flag.
Despite the fitful weather with its
intermittent showers, various ob
servances, more significant than any
of previous years, are being held
throughout Harrisburg to-day in ob
servance of the anniversary of the
sewing of the first flag with its stripes;
and thirteen stars. The tears of tbe \
heavens did not dampen in the leastj
the ardent patriotism 6f Harrisburg
people.
Hundreds of flags, big ones and lit
tle ones are displayed all over the
city to-day by Harrisburg's patriots.
But more than that, as a pleasing
tribute to our allies, there are flown
with the White and Blue in
many places, the tri-color of France,
the red, white and green of Italy, and
John Bull's Union Jack.
Railroad men of Harrisburg and i
vicinity, down to the very last one
of them, are ardent patriots and they
are proud of the fact. To-day, in no!
less than five yards of the Penns.vl- J
vania railroad in this section, cele

New York. June 14. The com

How to Intervene in
Russia Is Now Problem
That Worries the Allies
Washington. Juno 14.—There is no
plan to intervene in Russia, so far as
this country is concerned. Our gov
e. nment recognizes the invaluable
advantage of re-establishing an east
ern front. Neither France nor
England, w+iich have advocated it,
is more eager than the United States
to have Russia again an allied bel
ligerent, but so far nobody has come
forward with any practical program
that jnakes this possible of attain
ment. America's attitude might be
summarized thus;
The Trann-Siberian Railway could
not transport a million men and
their supplies in less than two years,
so the military folks say, even if all
Russia was willing to help. Under
existing; conditions, Japanese officials
have stated that it would take a mil
lion and a half of men to guard that
road as a line of communication be
fore a single division could be land
ed wfthin fighting distance of the
Germans.
That apparently Is all tliere Is to
the Russian intervention situation:
Our officials will not comment dn it
openl" because of the courtesy due
our allies, but the facts set forth
above come from one of the highest
men in the government.
