Tubercular Soldiers to be Left Be­hind—Strict Measures Taken

for Health of Men. . *' • • • ,

DIVISION HEADQUARTERS, Camp Dodge, July 9—Intensive training is consuming every available moment as the time draws nearer when overseas activities will be a reality. The men are anxious to get away and are de­voting all of their strength in an effort to become speedily fitted for the duties at the battle front in Prance. f

The latest timie saving plan to be adopted provides that infantrymen when going out to drill in the morn­ing shall take their noonday meal ra­tions with them. This method eaves considerable time as the drill grounds for the various organizations are from one to two miles from the organiza­tion areas and the carrying of the ra­tions saves the time that otherwise would be taken up in marching to and from the barracks.

Every morning long lines of khaki clad men leave the camp site, their haversacks filled with food and can­teens filled with water strapped to their backs and hung on their belts.

Physical examinations of men who reported with the last increments bave been completed and the work of selecting those considered fit for over­seas service is far enough along so that orders have been issued perma­nently assigning large numbers of men to the various division units.

Under the system adopted with the* reporting of the last selective all men were assigned to the depot bri­gade and attached to various organiza­tions for quarters, rations and pre­liminary training. With the selection of those for overseas service orders have been issued transferring many of these men permanently to the organ-

•-* izations to which they have been mere­ly attached.

Such action was taken recently as follows:

To the 349th infantry, 1,541 men; to the 350th infantry, 1,886 men;, to the 351st infantry, 1,347 men; to the 352d infantry, 1,407 men; to the 337th, 388th and 339th field artillery regiments, 715 men, 711 men and 676 men, re-

.-rfj;pft<;tively; to ithe 337th, 338th., and. *389th ftiachftie feuri battalions,' S3' irieii, '174 men and 164 men respectively; jto ;the ammunition train, 162 men; to ^the sanitary train, 97 men; to . the supply traiii, 6 men, and to the 3l3th engineers, 664 men.

The limitation of furloughs, the an-. nullment of down town privileges ex­

cept in a restricted sense on Saturday nights and Sundays, the improvement

-of every minute in some phase of training all point to a preparatory ef­fort which means an early departure for overseas service. Officer* Relieved |of Nonessentials.

To relieve officers of the 88th divi-1 sion of all work of administration of

organizations in the camp not pertain­ing to the division, camp officers have been appointed for this work.

The appointment, while at the pres­ent time but temporary, will immedi­ately relieve division staff . officers of a great deal of routine work which •has heretofore been handled by them in nearly all of the offices of division headquarters.

The following are the oiiicers ap­pointed to the various administrative offices for the camp:

Capt, Adam Richmond has been named camp judge advocate.

Lieut. Col. E. W. Rich, camp sur­geon.

Capt. Percy Bordwell, camp inspec­tor,

Capt. Royal H. Drummond,. camp , signal officer.

Second Lieut. Virgil N. Charles, camp ordnance officer.

The camp adjutant "and camp quar­termaster are to be named later.

Tubercular Soldiers Will Be Left Behind.

Strict measures to prevent the pos-' sibility of any officer tfr enlisted man at Camp Dodge'being sent to France while showing any indication of tuber­culosis are being taken. A board of miedical officers, specialists in this dis­ease, has been appointed and a sched­ule by which every officer in the di­vision is to present himself for exam­ination by this board has been pub­lished in division orders. • Some Interesting Athletic Stunts.

Athletics are taking a prominent part in the activities of the soldiers at Camp Dodge this week. The com­pany tryouts for all men' in the di­vision are being held under the direc­tion of company and regimental ath­letic officers. The^vents include the

. ,100 yard dash, running high jump, running and standing broad jumip, and boxing and wrestlingj^matches for all

.men. Monday the men in the 176th fnfantry brigade, including the 351st

, and 352d infantry regiments, were given their tryouts. Tuesday the soldiers in the 175th brigade, includ­ing the 349th and 350th infantry reg­iments were put through their paces, while Wednesday the soldiers in the 313th sanitary train, 313th field sig­nal battalion and 337th, 338th and 339th machine gun battalions were given tryouts, Thursday the engineer regiment and the military police will hold their events and Friday the men, in the artillery brigade, while the soldiers in the amnuunition train and those on duty at the base hospital will work out Saturday. At a later date the winners in the various com­panies will compete tor determine the regimental and separate organization winners.

Officers to Get Cheaper Clothing. Considerable complaint has been

because of the outlay necessary part of officers for clothing

shoes. A complete outfit, with rthe necessary changes requires an out­lay of from $300 to $500. Each officer has been making his own selection of materials but an order has now been issued providing a uniform quality of cloth and the furnishing of uni­forms at cost. Standard materials will enable each officer to be dressed like his comrade. Under the old plan some officers procured very ex­pensive goods and this made the fel­low not able to go the limit look a little seedy. Orders will be placed with local quartermasters, who will have supervision over the contractor's agent, settling for uniforms as soon as they are accepted and paid for by the officers.

New Order for Supplies. The American army going into ser­

vice on the French battlefields will be the first army in the world to be supplied with razors. Gen. Pershing has asked the war department thajt men be thus provided as clean faced force of men adds to the morale of the army. Only enlisted members of the army in overseas service are being issued these razors, one being sup­plied to each man, with replacements in case of loss through no fault of the owner. The razors are of a stand­ard safety type and n^w blades will be furnished when required. In ad­dition to the razor, each man is issued a toothbrush, comb, hairbrush, soap, and towels. This is the first time in the history of the army that razors have been issued and the quarter­master general's office has arranged for a supply sufficient to cover all demands.

Farmers Claim Soldiers Robbing Their Orchards.

Farmers in the vicinity of Camp Dodge have complained to officers at headquarters, alleging depredations to their orchards by soldiers here. As a result an order has been issued di­recting that if any such cases have come to the notice of organization commanders the * farmers shall be communicated with and proper amount paid out of company funds for any damage which has been done. Soldiers at Dodge Will Learn How to

"Carry the Fight." Instructions in the various-1 phases

of hand to hand fighting were started today at Camp Dodge and will be con­tinued for the, next two weeks. The lessons were arranged by Capt. John L. Griffith, division athletic director. These new methods can not be classi­fied as athletics or sport as they are taught for one purpose only, for de-fense at close quarters with the Huns. The lessons will be drilled into the men in such a way that should t^ey ever meet ra W" either armed ot "un­armed they can carry the fight to them in a true Yankee fashion and put them "out of business." Sportsman­ship is not considered in the new rules of fighting although the lessons are founded on athletic principles. The object is to fit the men to meet the Huns at their own game, carry it to them in such a way that much dam­age will be done. The lessons have been endorsed by Major H. H. Polk, division intelligence officer, recently in France, Brigadier General W. D| Beach, division commander, and mem­bers of the foreign officers legion. New Regiment for Colored Soldiers. \ Negro draft selectives reporting at Camp Dodge in the future will be as­signed to a new provisional negro in­fantry regiment, to be commanded by Col. Samuel P. Lyon, according to an announcement from division head­quarters. The new regiment will take the place of the 366th negro in­fantry which was shipped out of the camp several weeks ago, forming a unit of negro selectives who are or­dered to report for service at the can­tonment. Other officers who have been assigned to the new regiment are Lieut. Col. Frederick K. Turner, Maj. David H. Cowles. Maj. Adrian K. Colhemus and Maj. George R. Som-erville.

Free dental work for all class 1 men who are in the call for July 24th, is announced in a statement sent out by officers of Draft Board No. 2. Be­cause of the large number of men called and the poor facilities for den­tal work at the southern camps, where the men will go, arrangements have been made for the men to have th§ work done before leaving Des Moines. Application should be made to the C. DeHaan & Co., 408 Loct-jslt street. Men will then be assigned to some lo­cal dentist who will do the work free of charge.

The following men have been as­signed to the division school for cooks and bakers at Camp Dodge for a course of training: Edwin S. Turner, Elmer Sandberg, Jesse E. Tate, Tarl A. Ellis, Robert E. Brown, Allison Henson. Paul C. Williams, William O. Ash, George R. Kinney, Florence R. Meyer, Aloysius Sebacher, Floyd H. Grasse, Henry Lammers, (j!larence A. Lonn and William Gunderson. Pri­vates Passer M. Furra and Henry J. Aufderheld have been transferred from the depot brigade at Camp Dodge to. the quartermaster corps and assigned to the conservation and reclamation branch. Corporals Roscoe E. Hacker, Earl G. Johnson, Walter G. Sjostrom and Michael Tellefson have been pro­moted to sergeants in the quarter­master corps at Camp Dodge and Pri­vates Joseph J. Dietl, Arthur W. Bergstrom, Raymond L. Guinn, R. E. Miller and Leo. A. McClellan have been made corporals. Privates Arthur E. Bergman, Sigrud B. Givold, Chas. H. Ramp, Verner D. Koons and Jesse A. George, have been made privates first class. Private Senius Pederson has been transferred from the depot bri­gade at Camp Dodge to the ammuni­tion train. Nine enlisted men at Camp Dodge have been transferred from the depot brigade to, the 404th telegraph battalion. They are Olin M. Roth, Christie McCarthy, Jack Thorpe, Clar­ence F. Bayer, Walter Olson, Walter J. Mink, Floyd Scott, Samuel Rich­ard and Charles F, Genser,

OF IN AEROPLANE GREAT SENSATION

Sid Bonney, in France, Writes of His Experience In an Aeroplane with

Germans Shooting at Him.

HE SAILS AMONG THE CLOUDS

In the Air For Half an Hour but it Seemed Like a Weew—Would

Like Aeroplane Service •• 0

Dr. and Mrs. A. F. Bonney recently received the following letter from their son, Lieut. H. S. Bonney:

France, May 26, 1918. Dear Dad:

Well, at least I have went and done it. I have been up in an aeroplane and so now all that is left for me in the way of thrills is to go down in a submarine and perhaps before this thing is over 1 shall have done that little thing also.

I will admit that there are some things in this world that make a noise like a great sensation, but if you want to have the greatest exper­ience in your young life, that you ever had, just go up in an aeroplane in war times, and go over some, front line trenches, and I will gamble that all the things that you ever got to do in the past will fade away into the dim distant past and be forgotten, but that trip will stay with you for some time.

I went out to the aviation field yes­terday (Sunday) and was looking for some American aviators who are there to see if I might get a little trip up in the air. None of them were at home, and I was about to give up in disgust when I met a French pilot who said he was going out for a little reconnaiSance trip over the lines and would be pleased to take me with him if I cared to go. Did I care to go? Oh. no, that was'all a mistake! We went over to the tent and the mechan­ics were tuning up the machine, which was a two-seated Spad, 250 h. p., and capable of 140 miles an hour. I put on a pair of goggles and climbed into the rear seat. The iflay being very warm, no extra clothing was needed. The pilot cautioned me not to touch anything then got into the' dent in front, when the mechanic turned the engine over.' We stood still perhaps a couple of minutes, while the motor was warming up, and thenf the pilot gave the signal to let us loose and we started over the field. It was- like; riding" in a WhVel "harrow, over the roughest ground possible, and' all at once the bumping stopped, and I looked over the side and the ground was. dropping away from us at a great rate. I did not have a sensation of rising, but one, rather, of the ground slipping out from under me and fall-

away. We circled around over the camp at about 700 meters (2300 feet) and then turned east towards the trenches on a steady upward climb. As we would approach something the pilot would call my attention to it and then bank the machine a little so that I could get a good view as we went over it. It seemed almost no time at all to me until he pointed ahead and there were the reserve trenches of our men twisting and turning in all dlirections| oveii the country. 'The trenches did not appear to be dug into the ground but rather to be built out of it, and to have a lot of little round, black dots moving around in them. As we passed over our trenches, we began to climb again and in a few minutes were over No-Man's Lknd, which looked like a big chocolate cake that had the small pox. Barbed wire was a brown smear on the ground, and through my glasses, I could just make out that it was a set of entanglements. We were sailing along as nice as could be over the hun's home when all at once I heard a funny "thud" to the right and the pilot pointed out and there was a black ball of smoke in the air about one hundred yards to one side and above us. As I looked another one popped, and then 1 knew what they were. The boches were after us with an Archie. We simply stood on our toil and went up about 200 meters, and then as we banked, I looked down and the black balls were all over the country below us. In a few minutes another "thud" told us that they had increased- their range and so we shot up a little and into a cloud and then slid out of the cloud on one side and turned for home as the pilot ha<> seen all that he wanted to know. The Ar­chies again picked up our trail as we turned, and then is when I had a fun­ny sensation. The machine stood on its head and started for the ground at what seemed to me to be 700 miles an hour, and then made a sharp turn to one side and I could see our trenches again coming up to us in a rush. About the time I was wonder­ing if there would be any pieces to pick up, the pilot pulled us up and we straightened out for home. Then he played around over the villages back toward the field and gave qie a chance to see each one of them by circling around over them and turning the plane almost on its side. We came down on a long steady slope to the field and landed with hardly a jar. I could hardly hear when I got out, owing to the roar of the engine when up in the air, but that passed away in a few minutes, and I looked at my watch. We had been in the air ex­actly half ai) hour. * I thought we had been there a week. Now why in the devil didn't you give me a chance to pick out my birthday so I would be young enough to get into the air ser­vice. As it is, they tell me I am too old, but I'll be darned if I can make myself believe I am. Well, anyhow, I have done it, and will do it again if I get the chance, and perhaps someday they Will want just such a nut as I am to go up for observation purposes, and

you' will watch Little Willie take the job P. D. Q.

Tell Gertie C. that I will send her most any variety of cootie she wants, but most of them have been used to living in military surroundings and she must prepare a special diet for them until they get acclimated then, no doubt, they will raise her several large families. 1 will make the selec­tion from the best fighting strains that are available.

My typewriter'connected with a 77 shell, and so 1 am back to the pen and ink. except when I can get the Use of a mochine as I am doing now. It rather messed my machine up a bit and in fact I have not seen it since, nor any small part of it.

I sent Morton, a nose cap off a Ger­man gas shell, ail<J H "will make him a swell paper welghVif he cares to use it for that. I took all the goodey out of it so it will be perfectly safe for him to play with if he so desires. 1 got a piece off a nose cap and made a cigarette lighter out of it, and the funny part of it. is that the thing works fine. I ami sending M. a brig-is made by a French sodier out of a shell fragment, ithey cut'various dies and hammer the brass aid copper to­gether into them and make the things which they sell tor 5 francs ($1.00.) Convenient, and • a great saver of matches., which are scarce in the trenches and always wet.

Well, I guess tfaig is all for this time so will close.

Am enclosing a Jphoto taken recent­ly which is rotten|but all I could get.

Series of Meetings Arranged for Fri­day, July 1?thp-Poultry Man

From Ames to be Present.

NOTE SCHEDUUETSIVEN BELOW

Meetings Will be of Interest to the Merchants an0 Farmers Alike and

Should be* Well Attended

A series of meetings for egg con­servation has been, arranged with the merchants qf the county.for Friday, July 12th. Thousands of dozens of eggs are lost ta this .county evety year becauee*dt* tkc imrtJoWMia* to holding. As many are of poor quality for the same reason. The enormous egg loss­es can be reduced by more careful candling and handling of the eggs. On hauling to town, for instance, the qual­ity of a case of eggs is spoiled if the egg case be exposed to the hot sun for an hour while being hauled to town.

The meetings are for merchants and farmers. A poultry man from the State Extension Department will dis­cuss in detail some of the egg cand­ling features which are briefly de­scribed. -

A good fresh egg should have a small air space. The yolk should not be very plain. There should not be any black spots or rings. Sometimes the egg shell will have fine cracks in it. This is commonly known as "check' eggs, and should not be shipped with first quality eggs, as it rots very quickly.

(Blood rings are partially incubated eggs and show a distinct ring of blood on the yolk. They are classes as un­fit for food and should be rejected.

Moldy eggs generally have cracked shells, and show black spots before candle. They are unfit for food.

Black rots look more or less black before the candle, and are unfit for food.

Mixed rots, white rots or addled eggs when turned before the candle show the yolk more or less mixed up with the white. 'Ehey are unfit for food.

Stuck yolks are eggs with the yolk apparently stuck to the shell.. When given a twist, if the yolk does not float free, the egg is unfit for food. If the yolk floats free, and is not broken, it may be sold for food, but is of inferior quality.

Hedted eggs are due to careless handling. They are caused by ex­posure to the sun or other heat which starts decomposition. They are usual­ly found only in the summer time, and before the candle, will show very dark heavy yolks.

The following is the schedule for the meetings. Merchants especially should attend since the recent food ad­ministration regarding the handling of eggs will be discussed. People inter­ested in egg production should attend as well.

Friday morning at 10:00 o'clock— City Hall, Dow City. Merchants of Dow City, Kenwood, Arion, Charter Oak and Buck Grove.

Friday Afternoon at 3:00 o'clock— City Hall, Kiron. Merchants of Kiron, Schleswig, Delolt and Boyer.

Friday Evening, at 8:30 o'clock— Commercial Club Rooms, Vail. Mer­chants of Vail, West Side and Manilla.

The Burlington Hawkeye notes that opponents of good roads are becom­

ing fewer and their influence is less."

The girls who think they can attract admiration by expensive clothes gen­erally succeed in advertising them­selves as very costly acquisitions.

The public is in great doubt about the pacifists as it is impossible to say whether they should be shut up in asylums or allowed to go at large in charge of keepers,

Boys From Down in Alabama Say 8inging of Shells Remind

Them of Home.

The following letter dated June 9, has been received by Mrs. N. P. Cav­ett from her son, Percy, who is now located- with Company B, 168th Inf., France. Percy was one of the Denl-son boys who enlisted in Company B

and was located at Ida Grove last summer. He was one of the few boys chosen from that camp to Accompany the Rainbow Division to France. Deni-son friends will enjoy reading of his experiences "o^e(r there.1}

June 9, 1918. France.

My dear Mother: Well, this is Sunday and as I have

plenty of time, I will write you a let­ter. I received your letter of May 20. and the one from Elsie dated May 16, last night, so I will make this let­ter a long one and answer all the letters I have received from you all recently. .

I received a long letter from Percy Duncan thje other day. He is feeling fine but said he would like to hear from us quite often and .would like to see us once in a while but as he is with another outfit, the chances are very small.

We have a fine camp here. It is in the woods; not the same one, how­ever, that I spoke of before. We have not done anything since we came here but must be ready at all times to move. We are what are called reserves and may be called at any time, but we seldom stay in one place very long. We keep moving at least once a week, so you see we are travelers proper and never have a Come very long, thus we cannot accu­mulate yery much but travel as light as possible as we have to scarry all we have and a lot that belongs to Uncle Sam. That is why we do not have anything but what is absolutely necessary. Can you imagine one car­rying all he has and has had for four months, on his back and marching for about ten miles at a time? But a fel­low In the army doesnft .use or need. atttfftr

I .saw Bill Wearmo'uth the bther night and he was getting ready to go up to the front line and is feeling fine.

We received the Review and Bulle­tin the other night but I don't re­member the date on them.

I am sending our Regimental paper, you can get more things out of it that will interest you. I hope you will soon receive the "Stars and Stripes," that paper I mentioned before.

We have not had any rain here for so long and the sun is rather strong. The roads are very dusty but the gardens and fields look fine. It is the kind of weather that France is noted for. It is not like we had when we fir&t came up in this part of France in February.

I know just how Eldor feels. There was a fellow in our Company at Ida Grove (and he is still with us) who would get a high fever every time he was vaccinated or got" a shot in the arm and his knee would stiffen and he would be quite sick. Just about the time he would be getting better, he would get another shot and to bed he would go. He was that way until we reached New York, but now sickness never bothers him and he has not been sick a day and feels good and stands the kicks as well as the best. He felt worried about it too, and wished he had never enlisted, but now he is glad he did. I know of other fellows who were affected by the shots in the arm, but when they are all taken, they never have any more trouble. I expect that will be the way with Eldor, so tell his folks not to worry. If I had his address I would write to him, for everything will be all right in a very sjiort time..

This is Elsie's part of the letter— I enjoyed the program you sent me very much. I bet it was good and that the H. S. felt that they were do­ing their bit. I expect that Robert has a real snappy salute. That is the first thing they teach a soldier.

If you will notice the cartoons of the paper, you will see'the fellow get­ting down when a big 210 comes over. You sure should see mie when I hear one coming. They sound funny. The boys from Alabama say that the big shells say: "Ala .bam."

The prospects for peace look good to me. I guess the boche finds that the American boys are better fighters than they thought they were, at least they have been showing up somewhat.

Well this is quite a long letter so I will close. Hoping you receive it all right, with love,

As ever, Percy Cavett,

Co. B, 168th Inf., A. E. F., via New York.

JOE BIESER WRITES Mrs. C. H. Richardson, a prominent

Red Cross worker residing in Jack­son township, has handed the Review an interesting letter from Joe M. Bieser who is serving in France. The letter follows:

France, May 10, 11 a. m.—Rain.

Mrs. C. H. Richardson, Dear Friend and Friends: Have been wanting to find time for

a letter to you for sometime, but really have had so much to do and also so much to see that this is the first chance I've had to hunt up paper, etc.

I am not any too well satisfied with this country but guess I'll manage to

<.

have a fairly good time and keep out of mischief while here.

I have seen a lot of France since leaving the United States and have had an easy time of it for the last month outside of some awuflly tire­some rides and a little work fixing up camps.

I hope everything is O. K. on the farm and that you folks raise lots of things to eat, because I'm sure eating my head off oyer here and they don't seem to grow much here except some grapes for wine.

We are camped in a very pretty spot just now, right near a deep swim­ming hole and we have a dandy place to do our washing. It's funny to try and make the people here understand you and we furnish a lot of excite­ment for them I guess. Although things (anything in the "eats" line) are awfully high and scarce here, we manage to get along and are pretty well satisfied with everything. Have plenty of tobacco and toilet stuff on hand so consider myself lucky. Wish I could eat a good old Iowa dinner though once in a while.

I will try and write a more inter­esting letter next time. As I have

not studied out the censoring system much yet, and don't know just what we can write, I hope this will do for this time. and a long way from the firing lin,e,

I am as well as 1 possibly could be so don't worry about me.

Your very good friend, Private Joe M. Bieser,

Co. D., 43rd Engineers, via New York.

BRYAN-HATFIELD WEDDING

Miss Marjorie Bryan, of Arion, Wed­ded to Mr. MdHon Hatfield, on Sun­

day Evenig, July 7th.

A very pretty wedding occurred Sunday evening at 6 o'clock at the Bryan country home northwest of Ar­ion when Marjorie, the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. F. Bry­an, became the bride of Marion Hat­field, of Trenton, Mo.

The ceremony took place out of doors on the lawn in an alcove form­ed by tie evergreen trees. The sim* pie but beautiful service which was conducted by the Rev. Mr. Adams, pastor of the M. .E church at Dow City, was made more effective by the large American flag which had been hung just back of the bride and groom, for Mr, HatflelJI had beetn called to the colors and expects to re­port for service at Camp Gordon, At­lanta, Ga.. the last of July.

The bride wore a beautiful gown of white satin and chiffon and looked

ding marks* the conclusion of a ro manna begun two years ago at Des Moines college where both young pecf pie attended school. Mrs. Hatfield has just completed her course this last June, while Mr. Hatfield has been clerking for some time in one of the large shoe stores in Des Moines.'

After the ceremony delicious re­freshments were served at the house to the relatives and a few intimate friends who had been invited for the occasion.

Mr. and Mrs? Hatfield were the re­cipients of many beautiful gifts. They will spend their honeymoon at Lake-wood on Wall Lake and in' visiting relatives in and near Denison, where the bride at one time attended school and is well and favorably known. She was a graduate of the Dow City high school and for several years was one of Crawford county's most successful school teachers. Mr. Hatfield is very highly spoken of by those who have had an opportunity tif knowing him. A host of friends unite in wishing these young people a long, happy and prosperous life together.

WILL RATION FUEL

Fuel Administrator Patterson Re­ceives New Orders From Head­

quarters Regarding Fuel.*

County Fuel Commissioner J. H. Patterson received notice last Friday that fuel will be rationed to house­holders as among plans designed to prevent a threatened shortage of coal this coming winter.

Mr. Patterson says that each do­mestic consumer will be allowed on­ly as much coal as is found to be sci­entifically necessary to heat his home to 68 degrees, provided every conser­vation rule has been obeyed.

The allowance for each household­er, the announcement said, will be suf­ficient for comfort, but "the thought­less and wasteful consumer who finds his allowance gone before the end of the winter will have only himself to thank if he has no fuel with which to heat his home."

The administration plan involves a department of coal allotments in con­nection with each local fuel adminis­trator's office, and this system now has been completed and will be put into operation at once.

Each order for coal will be cen­sored by comparison with the rating of the house where the coal is to He used; all doubtful cases will be care­fully checked up by inspecting the hpuse in question and surplus coal when ordered will be refused.

•All consumers who have obtained a quantity of coal in excess of their allotments or who by deceit or mis­representation have violated any rules or regulations of the fuel admin­istration will be prosecuted.

"This system," said the adminis­tration's statement, "will be drastic and will introduce conditions new to the country; it will be no more dras­tic however, than conditions demand in the interest of all concerned. No one will be deprived of coal actually needed for heating, but no one will be allowed fuel for waste or extrava­gance.

"The fuel administration etcpects every one to recognize the necessity and the reason for this supervision and to co-operate fully with the local
