This war is the most extensive and involves great i r sacrifices than anj wav heretofore. The American people, led by 1’resident Wilson, enter'd ihis war dolilterately.

Use Elevators Only for Goods Kle\u*ors in many plants are to be used during tiie five-day closing period and the holiday Mondays only for the receipt or shipping of goods. On elevator service in other buildings there is no restriction ex cept those already put In force by local fuel administrators. 1 ubfic laundries in this state may oper ate as usual during the five-day closing period under the ruling, but they are for bidden to open on the next 10 Mondays, although it is stated that the order is provisional and subject to modification. {.Continued on Paae 5—Col. 6) Hindenburg Busts Are Broken up Revolt in Many German Towns on Warrior’s Birthday GERMAN SOLDIERS PROMISED PEACE Over 12,000 Deserters in Prisons in Cologne Alone—Germar Prisoner Tells British of Rea Situation and Spirit of Revolt —Munich Urges Acceptance of Peace on Wilson Basis British Army Headquarters it France, Jan.

In his statement supporting: Dr. Gar field's issuance of the closing: order. President Wilson says he was consult ed and fully agreed with the fuel ails, ministrator as to its necessity. If the action had not been taken, he de clares. immediate relief could not have been found for the luel and transpor tation shortage. President Wilson's Statement The I’resident’s statement follows: "I was. of course, consulted by Mr. Garfield before the fuel order of yes terday was issued and fully agreed with him that it was necessary, much as I regretted the necessity. This war calls for many sacrifices and sacrifice* of the sort called for by nils order are infinitely less than sacrifices of life which might otherwise be involv ed. It is absolutely necessary to get 1he ships away, it is absolutely neces sary to relieve the congestion at the ports and upon tin railways, it is ab solutely necessary to move great quan tifies of food and it is absolutely neces sary thai our people should be warm ed in their homes it nowhere else, and half-way measures would not hava achieved the desired ends. "If action such as this had not been taken, we should have limped along1 from day to day. slowly improving con dition of affairs with regard to the shipment of food and coal, but without such immediate relief as had become absolutely necessary because of tin* congestions of traffic which have been piling upti for the last few months. "I have every confidence that the re sult of action of this sort will justify it and that the people of the country will loyally and patriotically respond to necessities of this kind as ihey have to every other sacrifice involved ill the war. We an upon a war footing and I am confident that the people of the l'nited States are willing to observe the same sort of discipline that might fie involved in the actual conflict it self.” Dr. flat field's statement emphasise* tin; railroad congestion, which he de clares is threatening ific food supply, points to tin. necessity for moving ships to Kurope anil carries an appeal to cap ital to bear its share of the burden brought by the closing order by paying employes for the time they ate idle. The situation in Atlantic ports drew most of Dr. Garfield's attention today, while his assistants struggled with the great volume of requests for interpre tations of :he general terms of the or der. fuel Administration representa tives were dispatched to the principal Atlantic ports, tlicie in remain until every ship held up for lack of fuel lias its bunkers filled.

In addition to a long list of exemptions of food-producing plants and related in dustries it was announced that further exemptions would be made by state fooo administrators. i'ttieials who have contended for months that the best way to handle the coal str ualion was by denying fuel to non-essen t'ia! industries viewed the closing orb with more favor tonight when they lei"n cd of tiie exemption o. war imlustri is. Tile order as it stands cuts ofT all of .he so-called non-essentials, and whil" it de ities fuel also to many industries pro ducing necessaries. was evident that its application would be far less drastic than at tirst believed. Letter to Senate Or (JariieW a letter to the .Senate fol lows Permit me to confirm tiie message which 1 sent to >ou yesterda" afternoon Mr. Bilker, clerk .if the Senate. It is my earnest ilesire that the mem bers of the Senate should know that as an ex; olive officer of the government I would rot willingly treat a reiiuest of the Senate with other than the greatest re spe. The order suspending the operation of lidvstrial plants in portions of the f hud States was issued only after rleliB rntt nsideration and will, T firmly be lieve. aid effectively in providing cna! for domestic consumers, for the prompt bunk ering of ships carrying necessary war ma terial abroad, and lor the relief or the se rious congestion at the docks and at many points in the section covered by the order. I still believe it should stand To delay jthe application o' the order would only add to the congest.on It would be natural that industry in the interval i would redouble its efforts to increase sup plies on hand. To permit factories with a coal sup ply to operate during the period of suspension would allow many produc ing articles least essential to the war i to continue, while some pinducing ar j tides the most essential would be com I pelled to shut down. Moreover, con tinued production by those well sup plied with coal would delay if not de feat the relief contemplated by the or der. “1 should add that the resolution was presented to me at 0.35 P. M. yester day afternoon and that the order was signed at 5.45.' Instructions for diverting coal from industries closed down during the Tlve days period went out today to all lo cal representatives of the fuel admin istration. They directed that supplies reaching their destination be taken over by the fuel officials and distrib uted among the preferred classifica tion of householders, hospitals, public utilities and others whom the order does not affect. At the same time See i rotary McAdoo sent telegrams asking j all railroad presidents in the eastern j territory to co-operate with the food j officials. Secretary McAdoo made this statc meat endorsing' the fuel administra tor's stand: i "I think the results of the order will j he very beneficial to ihe country in tli(r end,” he said. "It was drastic •action and not very pleasant, but I cannot help thinking that it will give us a chance to clear up this trans portation congestion, and in a little time we will be moving along in bet ter condition than before. The order was a good deal like a serious opera tion. bad for the time, but beneficial in the end.” j FAIRFIELD I High School Play Proves Very Successful—Letter from For mer Fairfield Boy in Texas— Funeral of Mrs. Ada Delano .Mr. and Au*s.

No reports of the violations of the order had been received tonight and surface indica tions were that both manufacturers and workers viewed the situation phil osophically. The South Carolina House of Repre sentatives, in session at Columbia, vot ed down by an overwhelming majority, a resolution asking Fuel Administra tor Garfield to rescind the order and i the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce j adopted a resolution approving it.

Jan. ]$.—State Sen ator Nathaniel M. Boyd, aged GO, wide ly known :n Rockingham county, dis appeared 'Wednesday morning and nothing has been heaid of him since which caused relatives and friends to fear for his safety. He left his home that morning with the idea of going to Manchester and Nashua on business. 1 Police of Manchester and surrounding cities and towns nave been asked to aid in locating him. He has met with considerable mis fortune. Thrice fire destroyed his res idence.

Given Hot Tea Bath A cu]> of hot tea, thrown lull in iter face, was the treatment received by the i Baroness Iona Zellner at Annapolis, 1 last summer when she voiced pro-Ger- man sentiments it was learned recent- j iy. The baroness is now awaiting trial on espionage charges at Chattanooga, i The incident took place at a tea at tended by a number of officers' wives and others prominent in the semi-of ficial society of Annapolis. The tea was j thrown by Mrs. H. TO. Harrell, well Known here for Tier intense patriotism. Although the I'nited States had not entered (he war at that time, feeling! was intensely anti-German because of! the Lusitania, and other incidents. 1 hiring a discussion of international! affairs, the Baroness Zollner took oe- casion to voice her disapproval of the “meddling attitude” of the T'nited States, and followed it up by other r->- marks of a similar nature, it is stated. Mrs. Harrell took exception to the j comments, and threw a cup of tea in lire face Following the tea throwing incident. I it is stated, friends smoothed over ’he troubles, and mutual apologies were forthcoming. It also was learned that the Federal authorities were cognizant of the bar oness’ pro-German sentiments during her stay a* Annapolis, and are under stood to hive kept her under surveil lance, notwithstanding the fact that i her son, Beresford Shope. was a mid shipman at the T'nited States Naval academy. The. baroness made no secret of the fai t that her husband was a captain in the German army, and frequently expressed pro-German sentiments, it is said. bareness Zollner firs* went to Anna polis in September. 191*>. and lived fori a time in a fashionable boarding house.

The spirit, the character, the poll ▼eios and practices of the store so it tservice-institution show, and «re^ illumined, through its advertising. t To many this “voice” is a familiar Tone, carrying the new message ol* Xan old friend. To others—always top 1 some who road this newspaper— Tis a new voice, making its imprtj. ♦sion upon them for the first time. It wins either immediate confi.f ^dence, or immediate dislike. When^ you hear a voice for the first time, either over the ’phone or in mors* Xintimate conversation, you form lasting impression of the temper*. I ment, character and personality of* ♦the tafker. In some such measunt ^you also form an impression of i^ i business through reading its ad vertising. If the "voice" is boast-* Tful, vague, arrogant, the impression* will last long—and to the disad-^ vantage of the merchant. If it in ispires confidence, if it has the ring* of genuineness, of friendliness, it iif indeed, “the voice that wins.”

Merchants should try to get the# ^detached view of their advertising—^ Tthe view of the reader of it. They y should try to make It TRUTH-* SfFfJLLY REFLECT THE SPIRIT* I OF THE STORE. The most successful advertisers^ do this.

It’s a year "made to order” for new records in advertising and in sale*: Building Enduring Friendships In a time of uncertain p rices for commodities—such a time as the present—the live merchant sees his opportun ity for service. He makes VALUE-GIVING the one hip, aim and pur pose in his service to his patrons. If another merchant, in pursuit of usual profits, boosts prices, he holds them to a mark permitting but the narrowest margin of per-sale profits. He sells a greater volume of goods. Ilis aggre gate profits are satisfactory—and in every sale made he has rendered service to the customer, and has won friend ship which will not quickly vanish. The far-seeing merchant finds, in an era of uncertain prices, his greatest prestige-winning opportunity. To make the most of this he must make his advertising more force I ful than ever before—must “get his storv over” to all the people every day! "Price*.” always an Item of im portance In connection with adver tised goods, have In these times greater Interest than usual. For they change over night—and every change ic of purse-interest to readers of ads. i Not many homes "fall” If the financial management is success ful. Not many homes are well managed, as to the buying prob lems, unless the housewife is a ■tudent—and an INTERESTED ONE of the store ads. The position of "buyer" for the home comes to the wife “by Inheri tance." It is hers through pre cedent and through necessity. She will fall in the work IF IT DOES NOT INTEREST HER. She will make a success of it—and of her home management—if her INTER EST in the task never lapses. Of course she studies the ads. So much of the income of each home is spent in the stores that they play a big part In home-mak ing. Some stores serve so well that all stores must try to keep pace. Some stores advertise so lnformingly and helpfully that all ■tores aim to reach the same fiark. The woman who studies the ads would find nothing but amusement In a palpably exaggerated state ment—It would not Influence her to buy—and If an advertiser should fall into the HABIT of exagger ation she W'"jld lose all Interest in that store. To "know the stores" PAYS. To ■tudy the ads Is essential if a woman would properly appraise the service offered to her by the competing stores. Even u small shopping errand may Justify a little preliminary study of the ads. To secure the right thing Instead of the wrong one—even In small matter*--is wortli while. The moat attractive VALUES offered In the stores today are AD VERTISED in this newspaper. That is why these ads are IMPOR TANT TO YOU. Do not send your money afar—If the thing you want is to be had in your home city. If "the automobile thought" if making any place for itself !n your mind, road the ads! They ■will in i a short time, educate you as to characteristics and prices of cars. You’ll know one from another"— and that's the beginning of auto mobile wisdom. Store-news is home-news. Some thing advertised today finds itself In your home tomorrow—and the “ad” t'rings.about the transaction. One of today’s ads may change some one of your buying plans—to your profit' In your buying for the home it is quite as profitable to KNOW VALUES AND OPPORTUNITIES as it Is, in other things, to KNOW instead of “blundering through The “bargain! hunter" hm evolved into the Intelligent buyer for the home—the woman who ex ercises as much ability in expend ing money as it required in earn ing it. The woman who studies the adi KNOWS that she is paying the smallest possible price for her pur chase. She doesn’t just HOPE SO’ The merchant who can protect I you on both quality and price in a time when both arc apt to fluctuate 1 unaccountably is rendering you real service. Il iy at your home-city stores as a matter of self-protection—and of those home-city merchants WHO ADVERTISE!

The dollar you spend in your home-city store stays in your home-city and SERVES. The dol lar you pend away ceases to sen* anybody in the city where you make your home. i The merchant who is using larger space in which to give t° you the news of his store deserve* your interested attention He lias “a reason"—and YOUR INTER ESTS are invested in that rea*on. PATRONIZE HOME STORES As a Policy of Loyalty=As Well as of Economy and Assured Satisfaction in your Purchases.

CLOSING SESSTOF PRESS ASSOCIATION At tin- closing session of the Maine Press Association Friday forenoon. Colonel Frederic E. Boothby of this city, formerly general passenger agent 'of tln> Maine Central railroad, spoke if the old time newspaper men whom he had known, lie told many Inter esting anecdotes of the men who made Maine newspapers in past year 'mentioning among others Nelson Ding ley who made the Lewiston Journal notable among Maine dailies berore he began devoting iiis chief energies to 1 public life. Colonel Boothby aviso spoke appreciatively of the late Charles A. Pillsbury of tin Belfast Kepublican Journal. There was an informal discussion of v ;«ys and means to ho adopted to in crease the valm of the association to the publishing and general printing industry- of the State. The opinion was expressed that tiiis meeting in Waterville had proved to lie one of the i best that the association had hold viewed in tin- light of practical re l suits. It was pointed out that in the past at the gatherings o: the associa tion busine,s- had been subordinated in many instances to the social tea:tires. There was manifested a marked dis position hereafter to devote trie meet ings of the association more exclusive ly’ to matters affecting the welfare ui the important business interests which jit represents. I The association voted to endorse the action taken by the publishers of Maine daily newspapers at their re i 0Pr" meeting in Augusta with reference to the proposed postal zone system for second class matter. Resolutions were adopted today ex pressing the appreciation of the asso ciation for the welcome it had receiv ed from the city and the Chamber of commerce. The thanks of the associa tion were also given to the represent atives of the Linotype and and Inter •'pe companies for their courtesy in exhibiting the typesetting machines' made by their concerns. Put On Probation I-eslie Sweti. 15 years old. of Portland, who pleadej guilty to the theft of $145 from Leorge Eliig of Brunswick in a .lodging house in Portland oil Oct. 14, 1917. was placed on probation by Judge Con nelly In the Superior Court Wednesdav morning. -Swett has been In jail since las. i October, ami County Attorney Carroll Reedy offered no objection to any lenien cy the court might show him. stating that lie believed the youth had received his lesson by this term in jail, it was offered in evidence that f?wett came to Portland with Ellis from Brunswick at the latter's invitation. Swett told the court that Ellis became intoxicated and that the tempta tion to take the money proved too strong for him. as Ellis continually flashed his bank roll. Judge Connolly spoke of the practice of some young men In Portland to lie in wait for intoxicated men and rob them, but said that this did not ap pear to be a similar case. "It it were." said the Judge, "I should not exercise any leniency." INTELLIGENT (Continued from Page One) example of how such problems were being met there. England's attitude toward tlie control of its industries, ac cording to Miss Kellor is vitally differ ent from what obtains in this country. Strikes \vere practically impossible there, she said, and at the close of the war she saw for England no such in dustrial unrest as she declared to be probable here as matters are now be ing handled. President Albert K Bemis in open ing the conference explained tHat its object was to prepare constructively problems that are bound to present themselves following the war and which will touch on every department of the textile industry. Huge Loss from Injuries One man was killed in industrial oc cupations in this state every six work ing hours and some man or woman was injured more or less seriously ev I cry minute during the year ending June 30, li»17. according to statistics I given to the conference by Dudley M. I Holman, formerly of the Massachusetts Industrial Accident board. Mr. Hol man said the total economic loss from industrial accidents in the state was estimated conservatively at $13,000,00') I a year. Half of the loss, he said, was absolutely preventable. "We are killing and maiming." he added, “more people in industry an mially than we will call to the colors in the first three drafts.” _ GARFIELD ADMITS (Continued from Page One) sire.l !t Mini permanently injures none. The order as it stands puls all industry on an eutial footing, favoring none and avoiding unfair competition, but this rea son alone is not sufficient. This reason, plus the fact that the order will put coai in the empty bins of the people, will save coal, will aid in breaking up congestion of traffic and in furnishing an adequate supply of coal to the people who need it and to the ships which cannot sail without it—these are sufficient reasons and justify the order. "Only those industries producing neces sary war material tliai can be promptly’ delivered are permitted t• operate during the suspension period. To permit indus tries with a coal supply on hand to oper ate would allow many of the least essen tial to continue while some o’, the most essential would be compelled to stop. Moreover, to allow tliuse fortunate enough to possess a coal pilg to continue would result in adding to the traffic congesti'.t and unless they arc also suspended at a later period the needed saving in con sumption of coal would not result. "To have delayed the application of the order would only have added to the con gestion. It is no condemnation of Indus try to say that each would have striven i to the utmost to increase its supply of coal and other raw material during the days prior to the application of the or der." EXEMPTIONS (Continued from Page One) night. th*‘ new list contains the names of mannlitciories and light and power plants added after protests had been received today.

There are no Eeueral exemptions of industry,". ._ DEXTER Shut-Down of Mills Means Seri ous Financial Loss—Harlow B. Mosher Not Captured at Cam bra i With the exception of the mills of the Morrison Woolen Co., which op erates on water power, not a spindle was turning in Dexter woolen mills Friday forenoon, the only work being performed in the plants being the pro i cess of cleaning- up for the five days' shut down. The Fay Scott shops which operate on hydro-electric pow er furnished by the Central Maine Power Co., were in operation as usual. vll of the woolen mills with the ex ception of the Morrison mills use a certain amount of steam power in the operation of their plants. Arthur P. Abbott of the Amos Ab bott Co. stated Friday forenoon that after carefully reading the dispatches I in the morning paper he had decided i that the order referring to the mnnu I facture of woolen goods for the gov eminent referred to uniform stock only. As his mill is engaged in the nianu i facture of blanket stock it will not j open during the five-day period. The j other mills closed are the Dumbarton Woolen Co. and the Wassookeag Wool en Co. The mills of the (iledeoe Wool I on Co. at North Dexter are also shut I down. The majority of the employes f the mills were unaware that the mill. mills would close until they went tc work Friday morning, tile various man tigers having not made up their mind* i as to whether or not they were ef I fected at closing time Thursday night The Amos Abbott '4 volunteer0 have passed the physical examination for enlistment in the Third Maine, and it will he necessary to make another appeal to ,;he men of the city to rill out the quoia i.

Thursday afternoon the police court room was tilled with an interested audi etice made up of the Belfast Troop of Boy Scouts, the Minnetoska Club and the Camp Fire Girls, invited to listen to an informal talk by Ma.i. Bradbury on lil visit with a Red Cross unit to the war ring nations in 1911. Practically all the industries in the city are shut down today, laying off some 91*) men and women for the five days if nec essary. It is hoped, however, that mat ters will he modified by tlie ruling .n re gard to plants run by waterpower. A ship from the navy department was sent here from Boston Friday morning and is cutting out the ice in the iiarbor. which has closed the port for a week or more. She finds the ice very heavy and makes very slow progress. The coal supply in the city is very low and the situation grows more serious ev ery day. Every possible precaution is be ing made to relieve the situation and no coal is sold to parties having a supply on hand. TRY A CLASSIFIED AD NO PROVISION (Continued from Page One) Repair work can be done during the closing period named in the Gar'eld or der only when necessary to prevent the article from deteriorating in value, anu when repairs will put into immediate ser vice automobiles, vehicles or boats which are used to relieve transportation emer gencies. Property owners were authorized to night to keep sufficient heat in their buildings to maintain automatic sprin kler equipments and other lire light ing devices in full working condition during their closing periods. The recent federal regulations will not affect the coal consumption reg ulations previously put into effect by the State Fuel Administration, Mr. Storrow announced tonight. He said the federal orders alone were not enough to protect the state against shortage of coal and that it was now too late for Washington wholly to re lieve the situation. 26,875 Tons of Coal Arrive The greatest amount of coal received I by water here this winter arrived to day when barges and steamers brought i in 26,875 tons. All but '.’500 tons of this was soft coal for public utilities and manufacturing plants. It was re ported that 18.000 more tons were also on the way by water and encouraging reports were received from various points along the coast on the breaking of the ice embargo which nas put a severe handicap on all coastwise traf fic.

Roberts of Colby j' College is a very busy man, but never j too busy to do anything that will help 1 our Country to win the great war. The latest instance of this ia his ac- ceptance of the chairmanship of the Maine branch of the League to En- force Peace at New York, which had1; become headless through the resigna tion of’Robert H. Gardiner of Gardi ner, who resigned because he dis agreed with the League’s policy of ac tivity in supporting the war. There are many demands upon President Roberts' time in addition to his college work, but he seldom re fuses, both in connection with Public Safety and Defense work in the city of Waterville and in helping to main tain a healthy public sentiment In re gard to war activities in communities outside of his city. The statement Issued by the League j to Enforce Peace to the effect that the j league's campaign in Maine will be conducted on a strictly "Win the War" basis and that President Rob erts is in full sympathy with the pres ent crusade against a premature and inconclusive peace is no surprise to those who know him. Those of us who are personalty ac quainted with Colby’s president feel quite sure that he will do “his bit” and "his level best” along those lines.j The contribution of Hon. Charles S. j Hichborn of Augusta towards war service is the securing of enlistments in the Motor Mechanics regiment. This is a very useful branch of the service and will take in men of mili tary but not of draft age. His appeal should met with a ready response from those qualified. _^_________ Tiie new story that the former Czar of Russia has escaped from Tobolsk is a reminder that tile Grand L>uehess Tatiana hasn't reached this country yet —Boston Cl lobe.

Much favorable mention has appeared In the New York papers concerning the talents and public appearances of Sally Hamlin, daughter of Dr. Cyrus Hamlin of New York, formerly of Bangor. Dr. Hamlin is a son of the late Gen. Charles Hamlin and a grandson of Hannibal Hamlin. His young daughter has dis played unusual musical and dramatic ability, having appeared in piano recitals, plays, etc, and in the motion picture field, as well as making records for talking machines. Although but 14 years of age her talents are so pronounced as to win her unstinted praise and have created a widespread demand for her appearance at public entertainments. The child has visited in Bangor many times and has several relatives there. January 5th, 1918. Editor, North Side News.” Dear Sir: “Frequent mention is made of the large contributions by a single family to this greatest world war, and it speaks volumes in glowing terms of the patriotism of our people to make the world safe for democracy. But was there ever in any war of the world’s history such a patriotic con tribution made by one family as that of the family of Charles Brandon, of Moundsville, W. Va., to the Union army In the sixties—seventeen out of a family of thirty-five, all sons. His first wife gave him two sons, the sec ond eighteen and the third fifteen. Mr. Brandon, the father, lived to be ninety-six. The largest recorded fam ily contribution to the Revolutionary war was that of Jacob Loud of Pitts ton. Maine—six, father and five sons.

The Director-General of Railways was ap pointed for that purpose. Mr Garfield says hundreds of ships are waiting In New York for bunker coal. The coal is waiting for them behind the congested freight. A problem in trans portation. So it is not coal enough buf blocked railroads. Then the remedy is not in stopping consumption of coal: but In stopping the shipping of freight into the congested region about New York, j First stop the accumulation of loaded cars in that region—stop accepting freight for New York. Next, a systematic rlear ing of the track, opening a passage to the ships. A problem in transportation. Not coal, but transportation. Not Gar j field, but McAdoo. Some Are Suspicious (Biddeford Journal.) j Hon. William R. Pattangall has notified the Demorcatic State committee that he will not be able to act as chairman of the coming Democratic State convention, as lie has a case in the federal court which must be attended to. Nevertheless and notwithstanding, there is a somewhat general suspicion that Mr. Pattangall could easily arrange his court case if he really cared to identify himself with Dem ocratic convention proceedings. As the headline writer on a ortland newspaper puts it: “Is Patt Ducking, and. If So, Why?"

Hewitt of East Winthrop’ has had a field scraped near the State Y. M. C. A. summer camp and has been ploughing out ice for the farmers and I delivering on the table. His teams have also filled a number of ice houses at the summer cottages on the shores and islands. The ice was over 20 inches thick when the work was com pleted but not of as good quality as usual, there being a large percentage of snow ice. The-mail man on Route 21 was not able to- cover his entile trip Wednes i day. He came to Winthrop Center, leaving mail to a part of his patrons. The Monmouth roads were impassable and considerable snow had to be re moved before teams could get there at all. Mrs. Lewis H. Mlllspaugh la making a trip to Portland and Boston. Several years ago It was not an un common sight to see several wood teams at a time hauling wood In dif ferent directions on Lake Cobbossee contee during the winter months. For the past few years very little wood has been cut on any of the islands and delivered to market. This cannot be laid to any shortage of supply of standing wood, as there are still large wood lots of standing hard wood of excellent quality. It is more than probable that the difficulty in secur ing wood choppers lias been a big factor In bringing about the change, added to the high costs of team hire at the present time, which makes file wood cos* very close to the market price by the time it is hauled to the door of the consumer. When the power wood sawing machines that sntv j the trees as they are cut down into four-foot lengths are brought into gen eral use in this State i1 is believed that the wood cutting in these wood I lots will take a general boom as the chopping costs will be greatly reduced ■by the quicker and less expensive method. The supply of wood will great ly increase and families who have suf fered in the past from lack of wood will l.e able to obtain sufficient,

A barge with about “'■a tons for an Augusta dealer was load ed and ready to sail front New Turk on Thursday. Jan. l"th, and through V. S. Fuel Administrator Hanilen, New Eng 1 irul Fuel Administrator Storrow lias been requested to arrange for the release anil towage of this barge to Portland. As suming that this barge is not comman deered or diverted, and even under the most favorable conditions, its cargo can not reach Augusta before Thursday. .Tan. ji'dst. The coal in the hands of the dealers will probably be exhausted a week before that time at the present rate of consump tion. The above mentioned barge is the only relief in sight and in order to forestall more serious conditions and the necessity of drastic regulations. we therefore strongly recommend and urge that the following consumers of fuel immediately cease the using of coal, wood and all kinds of fuel until the present emergency becomes less stringent, due notice of i which will lie given b> us through the Kennebec Journal: Services in Protestant churches to bo j confined to not over two of tlte present .church buildings. Services in Catholic churches to be con j fined to not over two of the present church buildings. I Public and parochial schools to be I closed. i The Voting Men s Christian Association fto be closed. The Uthgow library to be closed. Theatres, danee h ills, pool rooms, club rooms, club buildings, lodge rooms, fra ti-rnal rooms, bowling alleys, and all places of amusement and exercise, to be closed. P]> to the present time everyone in Augusta with whom tills committee has come in contact has been ready and will ing to do ail that he could to relieve the present situation, and we believe that all that is now necessary for us to do is to put the facts before our people with the above recommendations and we feel sure that what now seems necessary to bo will cheerfully be done by the above men tioned. If, however, conditions require it, this committee will not hesitate to rec ommend regulations which must be cun plied with. SAMUEL C. MAN LEV, WALT Ell M. SANHOII.V. Fit A X K E. TltACV. SUGGESTIONS FOR RELIEF IN FUEL SITUATION Wants Fuel Committee to Arrange with Some Patriotic C.ticen Who Owns Wood Lot to Permit People to Cut Supply Therefrom—Chairman Man ley’s Reply Chairman Manley ot' the Augusta Fuel committee has received the fol lowing letter containing suggestions ;for the possible relief to a considerable I extent of the fuel shortage how exist ing in the city: Mr. Samuel C. Manley, Chairman Augusta Fuel Committee. Dear Sir: Tlie fuel situation in Augusta and i vicinity is now so serious that every 1 one is aware of the necessity ol put ting forth strenuous efforts to con serve the amount on hand and to pro vide for present and future needs by all possible means. There are a large number of men who would be glad to “cut a cord" and more if they had the opportunity and it would seem that the fuel commit tee might arrange with some patriotic citizen, who has a large wood lot, to allow people to cut what they need for their own consumption, a. fair price to he paid for the same on the stump, and thereby alleviate a portion of the severe shortage. It could be arranged to have out 'ing operations conlified to one section, so there would be no serious damage to the owner’s property. Of course this would call for some saeriliee, but it will be a small parr of what may be required from every one in the future. There are several large wood lots one of at least 2000 cords, very ac cessible to the citizens of Augusta and I am confident there are many who would be thankful for an opportunitv i to obtain enough fuel to protect them selves and families from cold and suf lVring. Very respectfully, D- I-. HIGGINS. Augusta. Me., Jan. 37, 191S. In reply to the above Mr. Manlev said: j Hie Augusta fuel committee lias no authority, or funds, with which to han dle this proposition, which is most commendable. It is MIU.ero!v to ho hoped that some citizen nr 'citizen wh,» have available stumpage will pro vide the opportunity to cut wood at a tair price. i SAMT'EL C. MANLEY.
