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™ of Vienna and Budapest shoyld oe divided among the nations of the former Empire -he Czechs hav ng already submitted a similar claim.

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.

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 ARGENTINA DEFEATS CHILE Rio Janeiro, May 23.—Argentina defeated Chile to-day 4 to 1 in the fifth game of the series of soc cer football contests to decide the championship of South America.
