Government Bureaus
Sound Warning To
Coal Buyers
The nation not only faces a serious scarcity of coal
this Fall, but an actual old-fashioned famine, if con
sumers wait until Fall to buy coal.
The Government bureaus which sound the warnings are the
United States Fuel Administration, the United States Department
of Labor, the Lnited States Administration of Railroads and the
United States Geological Survey.
The basis upon which these warnings are issued follow:
1. A reduced production and subsequent
shortage in supply when they should be the
I highest.
2. A shortage in labor, which is inevit
able.
3. A shortage in freight cars this Fall.
4. A probable higher price for all coals.
; 5. A probable high freight rate.
Dr. Harry A. Garfield, of the United States Fuel Administra
tion, made this statement in Chicago on May 22, 1919: "I warn
the apartment house owners, the home dwellers and factory pro
prietors to buy coal now. In Autumn it will be too late. A big
shortage is coming. Thousands of miners are going back to
Europe. Coal production has fallen off considerably and a short
age of many millions of tons looks probable. My advice to the
public is to buy coal right away."

Governor of Colorado
Urges the Congress to
Suppress Mob Violence
The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, 70
Fifth erenue, New York, has received
a letter from Governor Oliver H.
Shoup of Colorado commenting upon
the address to the nation signed
by ex-President Taft, Charles Evans
Hughes, Elihu Root and one hun
dred and fifty other citizens, which
calls upon Congress to investigate
mob violence in the United States.
The letter follows:
"I am in receipt of your favor of
July 25th enclosing a list of signers
of an address to the Nation in the
matter of suppression of mob violence
throughout the country.
"I am in hearty sympathy with
this movement and especially at
this time when there are so many
outbreaks of racial antagonism
throughout the country, I deem it
essential that the National Congress
(should take some definite action
which will tend hereafter to com
pletely eliminate these outbreaks.
"You have my full authority to
use my name as Governor of Colo
rado as a signature to the address to
the Nation that you have so kindly
forwarded to this office."
Confident Japan Is
Sincere in Her Promises
Regarding Shantung
By Associated Press.
Honolulu, T. H., July 25. Confi
dent in the good faith of Japan us
regards her promises concerning the
future of the Shantung peninsula
was expressed here by W. F. Mussey,
Prime Minister of New Zealand, who
visited Honolulu on his way home
from the Paris Peace Conference. He
was accompanied by Sir Joseph
Ward, Minister of Finance of New-
Zealand.
Premie- Massey and Sir Joseph
declared their belief that the League
of Nations will prove a success and
realize the hopes and faith of those
responsible for its foundation.
Speaking of the Shantung settle
ment, Premier Massey said:
"Personally, I harbor no distrust
of the aims and policies of the
Japanese Government. The whole
matter is rather regrettable and it
is particularly unfortunate that the
Chinese delegation to the Peace
Conference saw fit to refrain from
placing their signatures on the Peace
Treaty. Frankly, there is no little
misunderstanding concerning the
whole matter, and time alone, in my
opinion, will clarify a very delicate
situation."
Great Gusher Renews Oil
Scenes in Western Penna.
Washington, Pa., Aug. 13. —
Scenes that marked the oil excite
ment in this section of 'five years
ago were apparent yesterday fol
lowing the striking of a huge oil
gusher five miles south of here last
night. The well to-day showed a
production at the rate of 750 barrels
a day, it being the largest producer
drilled in this section in years.
The well, which is in what is
known as the Fonner district, is
owned privately, chiefly by Waynes
burg men. few of the big operating
companies controlling any leases
there. Frantic gobbling of leases at
record prices and preparations to
fully exploit the field immediately
by other concerns featured develop
ments.

THOUSANDS SEE
NATIONS PAGEANT
ON THE ISLAND
Brave Rain Clouds to Witness
War Camp Commun- j
itv Fete
I
Several thousand persons braved
the possibility of being soaked by i
a rainstorm that hovered around the '
horizon all of last evening, to wit- j
ness the War Camp Community :
Service Pageant of Nations at the i
Island baseball park last evening.
A few rain drops fell and a part of j
the audience; timid souls who
dreaded a ducking, left the park,
but the grandstand, bleachers and
part of the field were well filled
when the entertainment began.
Promptly at 7.30 o'clock, while ;
the crowds were still gathering
Lieutenant Nelson, from the Mid
dletown Aviation Depot, did stunts 1
over the Island in a big army plane
and when he sailed away home, V. |
Grant Forrer, who was master of
ceremonies, announced the pageant.
The band, which under the direc- i
tion of Mrs. Elmer H. Ley had been !
playing for spiritod community t
singing took up its march to the I
lower end of the field and met the 1
procession as it approached the
baseball grounds.
Scouts Head Parade
The procession was headed by a
troop of Boy Scouts bearing the
standards of some twenty national
ities, followed by a group of sol
diers, from the local Recruiting
Station. Then followed the various
nationalities, all in costume, among j
the most picturesque being the ]
Hungarians, Greeks, Jugo-Slavs, t
Italians and Syrians. A party of ;
American girls dressed as Japanese j
dancers formed one of the most ;
attractive features. Each national
group carried its own flag, but al
ways over and above all waved the
Star Spangled Banner and it was \
evident that they thought more of !
the banner of the country of their
adoption than they did of the old- !
home standard. Dozens of children j
were in line, some of them little |
tots, and it was noticeable that while j
the mothers and fathers plainly i
showed their foreign birth and fre- I
quently spoke in the mother ton- '
gue, the children all wore Ameri- j
can clothing, had the appearance of I
the ordinary American child. The !
old folks were certainly proud of i
those youngsters.
Lieut. Governor Speaks
Lieutenant Governor Beidleman
made the speech of the evening. The
Boy Scouts did a pretty piece of
police work at this juncture. The
crowds, during the brief shower,
had swept out over the baseball dia
mond, on which had been erected
a big frame platform for the pageant
dances and "stunts" and the Scouts
joined hands and simply pushed the
whole assemblage of people back to
a point where all could see.
Lieutenant Governor Beidleman
spoke to the foreign-born especially,
saying that it was not so long ago
that the ancestors of all Americans
were newcomers to these shores,
standing just as the foreign-born of
to-day stand. They had come here
determined to be good citizens, to
obey the laws and take the advan
tages offered for their own advance
ment. He called the attention of his
audience to the freedom of America,
to her public school systems, where
the rich and the poor are on the
same basis, to our laws and our
methods of choosing public officials
and to the religious freedom en
joyed here. "We welcome every one
of you to America," he said, "ask
ing only in return that you strive
to be good citizens and endeavor to
make good citizens of your chil
dren."
Mayor Keister and the City Coun
cilrnen occupied places on the plat
form with him as he spoke.
By this time it was growing dark
and the flood lights on top of the
grandstand were turned on the cen
ter of the field where those who par
ticipated in the pageant, represent
ing more than twenty nationalities,
were grouped, their flags and stand
ards forming a brilliant background
of color as they were massed in the
rear of the stage.
Uncle Sain Appears
The first character to take the
stage was Uncle Sam, garbed in red,
white and blue, impersonated by
Elmer Ley, who extended greetings
to John Harris, in the person of H.
H. Kinneard and William Penn in
the person of C. W. Tittle. Address
ing them on the work of both
American and foreign-born in the
war, and praising all for their parts
Uncle Sam then announced that the
Angel of Peace should appear and
from the mass of flags in the rear
came Mrs. Jennie Sellers, represent
ing that spirit, singing as she came
"Ring Out Sweet Bells of Peace,"
the band accompanying her. Then
came the various nationalities to
pay their respects to Uncle Sam,
the first being France, personified
by two pretty little girls, both of
whom were born in Alsace-Lorraine
of French parentage, and who car
ried the tricolor of France. The
children were Marguerite and
Louisette, twin daughters of Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Richenburg.
Following France came China,
a half dozen handsomely dressed
Chinamen of this city participating.
Then England, with her delegation;
a party of Filipinos and Porto
Iticans; fine looking young men; a
party of Greeks in national cos
tumes; next the Hungarians, who
filled the stage. They had their own
band along and the whole party
took part in the singing of national
songs and the dancing of folk dances
in the picturesque costumes of their
homeland. This was one of the most
effective parts of the program.
The Japanese were represented
not only by a few of their coun
trymen but by a bevy of pretty young
girls who wore beautiful Jap cos
tumes with chrysanthemums in their
hair and who sang and danced af
ter a manner that put one in mind
of the famous chorus of the old
Mikado company. It was a charm
ing number and could have had an
encore if time had permitted.
The Jugo-Slavs did a wonderfully
fine bit of singing and dancing in
costume, having their own orches
tra along, and showed that they
could be quite as entertaining as
they proved themselves to be brave
on the field of battle.
The Italians of the city, also in
costume, put on one of their char
acteristically beautiful dances, filling
the whole stage and providing their
own music. The proverbial grace
fulness of the Italians and their love
of music was in evidence at every
turn. The Rumanians also brought
along an orchestra and did a dance
in their native costume.
Hungarian cowboys, in gala attire,
proved that they could ride quite
as well as their American brethren.
They made very picturesque figures
as they galloped about.
The pageant came to a close with
a series of living pictures of events
Horlick'S the Original
Malted Milk. Avoid
Imitations and Substitutes
in American history, representing
"Spirit of '76." the "Civil War
Period," the "World War" and this
led up to the finale, the Angel of
Peace releasing a live dove as she
sang a song of everlasting peace on
earth from her place in the center
of the grouped flags of the nations
and the audience stood and sang the
"Star Spangled Banner."
