1917 Coal Shortage
May Be Repeated
Unless next Winter s coal is put in during the Spring
and Summer, a serious situation is liable, indeed, likely,
to arise.
Coal consumers had no trouble last Winter for two
reasons, first, the mild weather, and, second, because
from April, 1918, to October, 1918, forty-five per cent,
of the year s supply was put in the cellars of householders.
Now, if 45 per cent, can go in again, there will be no
trouble, but if householders wait until Autumn and early
Winter to put in coal, not only will coal not be mined in any
large quantity during this Summer, but, even if it were
mined, the coal dealers could not deliver it fast enough
when cold weather comes to satisfy the demand. When
everybody wants coal at the same time, somebody is sure
to "get left."
Don't wait and get caught in the Fall and Winter
"coal rush." If you wait till Fall, you will have to
pay higher prices; but, what is worse, you may not be *
able to get coal at all when you need it most. Better
phone us to-day.

PROTESTS ITALIAN
CLAIMS FOR ART
Vienna Press Declares Old
Napoleonic Methods Are
Being Used
Vienna, May 23. The Vienna
press ib making violent protests
against the Italian claims for works
of art, declaring that the Italians are
introducing old Napoleonic methods
of robbing galleries.
Professor Paolo d' Ancona, of
Milan, who is at the head of the
Italian Art Mission, told the corre
spondent of the Associated p f c f?
that the whole matter had been laid
before the Peace Conference for
decision and that the Italians so tar,
are only placing the works of art
under sequestration, so that they
may be protected in case of Bol
shevik attempts to destroy, steal or
resell them as happened vith • e
Hermitage Gallery, at Petr °^?. d '
The Italians teared this might be tne
fate of the Budapest Gallery con
taining such priceless works
Raphael's Madonna. . .
Professor d' Ancona stated that
the Italian claims fall under three
heads' First, indemnities for art
works, valued at $10,000,000 e
stroyed by the Austrians In Italy
during the war, including the
raids at Venice, from
past; third, works which
belong to territory now occupied by
Italy or about to become her pr p
erty Including Pola, Llssa Island
arl There'are also provisional clalffcs
for ItaH' ? s share which belong *o
her historically in case the mw™

BRITISH RELEASE
WAR OBJECTORS
About 500 Quakers Remain to
Work Out Hard
Sentences
London, May 23.—Conscientious
objectors in increasing numbers are
being released from English pris
ons, but there are still about 500
Quakers and other objectors to mil
itary service who are working out
hard-work sentences.
More than 450 have been set free
since April 8, when a war office
measure governing the release of ob
jectors became effective. The order
applies only to those who have
served sentences aggregating In
length two or more years. Among
those given their liberty this month
were Fenner Brockway, formerly
editor of the Labor Leader. Walter
Ayles, of Bristol, a member of the
executive committee of the Inde
pendent Labor party, and other
leaders l of the "no-conscription"
movement.
Altogether 6,135 men have resist
ed the British military service acts
and 5,596 of them have been court
martialed. Since the armistice 240
men have been tried by military
courts. Sixty-three objectors have
died since being arrested, nine while
In prison.
From the beginning of conscrip
tion there has been considerable agi
tation in the press and elsewhere
against the measures taken to pun
ish conscientious objectors. With
the signing of the armistice the
friends and supporters of the "C.
O.'s," as the conscientious objectors
are referred to in English newspa
pers, became unusually active, and
their efforts to persuade the gov
ernment to release the prisoners
have been unflagging.
They contend that hostility to
continued conscription is rapidly
gaining ground and that the impris
oned "martyrs of opinion" evoke
more sympathy than anger.
One of the most prominent of the
Quakers serving a prison sentence
is E. D. Ludlam, who is well known
for his researches in chemistry.
The argument advanced for still
keeping the C. O.'s confined is that
if they were released now they would
be given an unfair advantage in the
matter of obtaining employment over
the men who are unable yet to se
cure demobilization from the army.
Says Coal Industry
Is Hedged in By
Federal Regulation
Chicago, May 23.—Modification of
the Sherman anti-trust law, was the
first recommendation of Harry E.
Taylor, of Kansas City, in accepting
the presidency of the National Coal
Association yesterday. He said the
coal industry had been "so hedged
about by restrictions and regula
tions" during the war that short-cut
methods of co-operation were prac
tically impossible.
Previously Dr. Harry A. Garfield,
United States fuel administrator, had
urged continuance of war-time gov
ernmental supervision of business in
control of basic raw materials,
though saying he knew some coal
producers wanted to keep as far
away from the Government as pos
sible. He had said that a new order
had arrived and that it was no lon
ger a question of the Government
keeping "hands off" but how far it
should "keep hands on."
President Taylor gave a solemn
warning to the public to buy coal
now, citing a 50,000,000 ton short
age in bituminous production, and
one of 8,000,000 tons anthracite up
to June 1 next, a shortage of 90,000
miners and the burden on transpor
tation facilities of handling this
year's crops.
U. S. Legation Building
at San Jose Is Bombed;
Damage Reported Slight
By Associated Press.
Washington, May 23. —An attempt
was made to demolish the Ameri
can legation building at San Jose,
Costa Rica, Monday night, by a
bomb, according to advice to-day to
the State Department.
The bomb was placed near the en
trance to the legation reception
room, but its explosion caused only
slight damage and no one was in
jured. The State Department an
nounced that it had ordered an in
vestigation.
The legation is in charge of the
American consul, Benjamin T. Chase.
Thinks Actors
Must Believe in
Parts They Play
Berlin, May 23.—The actors of
the municipal theater at Dortmund
compelled the management to re
move Schiller's "Maid of Orleans"
and Kleist's "Prince of Homburg"
from the theater's repertoire, on the
ground that "the non-conformity of
these plays with the spirit of the
age is an insult for modern theater
goers, and further because actors
cannot be called upon to play roles
whose intellectual content is in op
position with the actors' own views."

Senate May Interpret Creed
The American delegation to the
Peace Conference is favorably in
clined to a suggestion received in a
letter from Herman H. Kohlsaat, of
Chicago, saying that a movement
was under consideration by which
the Senate would adopt a resolution
giving its interpretation of certain
articles •in the covenant of the
League of Nations.
It is pointed out that the effect
of such a resolution would be to
place on record the Interpretation of
the document upon which the Senate
would base ratification and at the
same time leave the covenant effec
tive as an international document
