Anderson, published elsewhere in The Gazette. It is an appeal that WE CANNOT AFORD TO FAIL TO RESPOND TO; so The Gazette has done its "bit" promptly by forwarding a check for five dollars to our long-time friend, and "Ohio boy," Mr. Anderson. It is quite enough for us to know that the Seaman's hospital at Greenwich, England, has cared for and still continues to care for scamens of our race, countrymen, who sought and seek relief in it from suffering when ill and friendless in a strange country. Pride in the standing of the race in the estimation of such splendid foreigners as Lord Devenport and his associates, as well as our care for our good name and standing, with the best of our own country, suggest that our response to this appeal be generously representative of an appreciative people. Be prompt and send whatever you can, if only one dollar, to the Hon. Chas. W. Anderson, 156 West 132nd St., New York City, and he will acknowledge its receipt and forward the same to Lord Devenport for the hospital. WHO'LL BE THE NEXT! Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gacette Cleveland, Ohio. My Dear Friend: Permit me to ac knowledge the receipt of your favor of the 30th ultima, with enclosure of check for five dollars for the Seamen's Hosp at Greenwich, England. I will forward this at once with my other do ditions to Lord Devenport, who is as you may know, a member of one of the oldest houses of the mobility in England and a man of great ability and in- fluence.

Chillicothe, O.-Officers of Camp Sherman received a surprise, Tuesday when they learned, that all Oklahoma Afro-American draftees of color are to be trained at this cantonment. Probably 2000 will be sent here from Oklahoma, in addition to at least 2000 from Ohio. There has been no preparation for taking care of more than had been expected from Ohio. At headquarters it will be expected that all Afro-American officers will be quartered in section X, in the extreme northeast corner of the cantonment, directly north of sections occupied by training hattails and regiments of artillery. New buildings are being put up in both sections under recent direction from Washington. Lack of information as to the officers for the Afro-American units leads to the assumption that all field officers or those ranking higher than captain will be white officers and these, more than likely, will be African-American. Hundred and twenty-six Afro-American lieutenants and captains will complete their training courses at Fort Des Moines, this week, and they will be assigned immediately to all training camps where there are Afro-American soldiers. --- Adj.

RECEPTION TO THE IMPERIAL JAPANESE COMMISSION In the City Hall of "The Empire City" this city were present at this reception. He informed the collector that he was Sept. 21, 1917 Hon.

After having served on the different committees appointed by Mayor Mitchel to receive and entertain the British High Commission, with the Right Honourable Arthur J. Bailour at its head; the French Commission, with Marshal Joffre and Fresher Victor; the Royal Indian Commission, with Perkin and Sirway, Prince of Udine, and Signor Marcini; the Russian and Belgian Commissions, he was accorded fresh dis- Hon.

At the official reception tendered to the distinguished visitors in the City Hall, two weeks ago. Thursday, the ex-collector was paused in exit to Baron Jason Ullrich, vice admiral, at Judge Edlert H. Lory, president of the U.K. Steel Corporation and chairman of the entertainment committee. Eight hundred of the most distinguished citizens of THE SOUTH FAILS To Furushi its Quota of White Men So the Afro-American Must Be Called Washington, D. C.; Gen. Biss, chief of staff, was issued this explanation. of staff, was issued this explanation: "The selected men being gathered into the sixteen National Army cantonments will be used to form the first force of 500,000 men authorized in the act of congress approved May 18, 1917, and to till up the national guard divisions to practically the maximum number of troops required for the height of 857,000 selected men will be used to supplement the voluntary enlistments for the special and technical troops that are such an important part of the organization of a modern army. "The force of 500,000 men will be organized into sixteen white divisions and one colored division. One white division will be organized at each of the sixteen National army encampments and the units of the colored division will be organized at the various cantonments where the number of colored troops is sufficient to organize a divisional unit, instead of concentrating all of the colored units in the various encampments of the southern states, the policy of the war department will be to distribute them more or less evenly throughout the sixteen National army cantonments. In the southern states, whose phlogos go to the cantonments at Columbia, S. Carolina, and Little Rock, (camps) Jacksonville and Birmingham, the ratio of white men required to till up the national guard divisions furnished by those states is so great and the proportion of colored to white in the populations of those states is so great, that it has been found physically impossible to organize three national guard and three National army divisions at full strength from the white quotas of these states, and therefore the war department has decided to take all of the white men from these states, both national guard and national army and organize them into four full strength divisions (three national guard and one national army). The colored division probably will be designated as the Ninety-second Division, National Army. It will be mobilized as a division only when ordered by France or of duty when ordered by Germany or of duty in the army and the majority of its officers will come from the colored officers' training camp at Des Moines. The division will take in nearly 30,000 of the 83,000 Airo-Americans registered under the draft law. There will be organized in addition, however, service units for work behind the lines. Orders were published, Tuesday, authorizing 24 of this city, were present at this reception and twenty-five of its most prominent men were grouped immediately around the guests' this. Mr. Henry Clews, the great banker, was placed next to the collector and the Marquis of Aberdeen was stationed next to Mr. Clews. The historic reception room of the City Hall, which has seen it be much gorged pageantry, allegories and dwarf cedar trees, with the Japanese and American flags gracefully draped arched and the entire room. It presented a most impressive scene, perhaps the most elaborate that has yet been set for the entertainment of famous visitors. Mr. Anderson attended the luncheon given by the Chamber of Commerce, the dinner at the Hotel Weston hotel, the dinner at the Hotel Weston hotel, the dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria. Among those present at this last-named function were: Hon. Channey M. Depew, Rear Admiral Nathaniel R. Usher, Bayon Hotel, Judge John Purry Mitchell, Judge H. Gary, Hon. Charles E. Higgins, Hon. William H. Taft, Rear Admiral Murray Butler, president of the University, U.S.A.; Major General Sugama of the Imperial Japanese army, Commander Ando of the Imperial Japanese Navy; Hon. Marvin W. Littleman, Lieut. Col. Mizamah and E. H. Outerbridge, president of this city. It was a very hopeful sign to note the complete elimination of the color in the seating arrangements of the table with Mr. Wilson, the mere man of the famous premier of Japan, Lord Merceden, Isaac N. Seligman, the great banker; C. G. La Farge, the sculptor, and Mr. Rodin Wanamaker, son of the noted Philadelphia merchant. On last Saturday the Imperial Commission visited West Point and were met at the Government dock by a detachment of the Tenth Cavalry and escorted to the headquarters of the commandant. Speak Mr. Rodin Wanamaker, General Sugama told Mr. Anderson that he is an looking book of cavalrymen than the detachment of black troopers. Viscautish also complimented our soldiers and inquired as to the number 60 regiments of them in the regular army. Our Troops Cleared of Riot Charge Fort Bliss, Texas—Thirteen of the 150 Afro-American soldiers held here in connection with rioting in Houston, Tex. Aug. 23, were ordered released, Monday, and have returned to Colum- bury. They will rejoin their regiment. Their release was announced, upon recommendation of the board of inquiry which found they had no part in the rioting. Our "National Army Division." Washington, D. G.—An additional army division of Afro-American troops is to be formed and distributed for training throughout all sixteen cantonments; they will not be assembled as a division until the eye of the departure for France.

COMMISSION He informed the collector that he was greatly interested in Afro-Americans and expressed regret that his tour of the country did not permit him to visit the Tuskegee Institute. He said that he had long desired to meet the late Dr. Booker T. Washington but missed his visit. He said that the appearance of the latter's visit to Paris, owing to illness, the Viscount was at that time the Japanese Ambassador to France. Collector Anderson was the recipient of a further piece of race recognition week before last when together with Mayor John Burry Mitchel and Judge Freshli he was elected an honorary memorial to the late Leroy which Chevalier Pissarro is president and Mr. Caruso is the secretary. Mr. Anderson has also been appointed a member of the Catskill Aqueud Commission of which Judge E. H. Gary of the Steel corporation is chairman. The committee held a celebration for three days in honor of the completion of the aqueudet, which is the largest civil engineering feat ever undertaken by the Steel corporation and which is equal in size to the Panama canal. This aqueudet will bring water from the Catskill, one hundred and twenty miles away; and pass it under the Hudson river before distributing it to the five boroughs of this city. It has been building for more than fifteen years and has cost in the neighborhood of one hundred million dollars. The ceremonies terminated in a grand hall at Waldoft Ward 12. Mr. Anderson was assigned a seat at table number 2, immediately adjoining the guests' table. Taft, Roosevelt and Hughes were at this table and the President was to present.

There are 26,000 Afro-American Baptists in Ohio and the number is increasing rapidly as a result of immigration. TheMadam Motin sacred recital, Sunday afternoon, at Antioch Baptist church was well attended and the program excellent. The musical numbers were fine and Madam Motin proved herself an artist. We hope to hear her again. Rev. G. V. Clark, former pastor of Mr. Zion Cong, church, who was operated upon recently, is improving slowly. Rev.

We notice that Harry Davis is the favorite in the betting. Some other favorites that we recall are: John L. Sullivan, in his fight with Corbett; Cor- --- bett against Fitzjimmons: Eliszimmons, against Jeffries; Jeffries, against Jack Johnson. Draft officials in Cleveland were preparing, Tuesday, for the entrainment of the remaining 25 per cent of selective service soldiers for Camp Sherman. All are scheduled to reach there October 17. Three thousand Oklahoma Afro-Americans are to train at Chillicothe, fringing the soldier population close to 50,000. Mrs. Lucinda Beason, 2016 Central Ave., widow of the late James Beason, died, Monday. She was actively engaged in church and uplift work and the founder of the Working Girls' Christian Home. Four sisters' nieces, nephews and a host of friends her demise. Funeral from the residence, Oct. 4, at 2 p.m. Roy Smith's orchestra furnished the music, Oct. 6, at the dedicatory banquet of the B. P. O. E.'s new home at Bedford, Ind., the finest in Indiana. Mrs. Charles Tyns' singing, assisted by Louis Murray's violin playing, was the sensation of the evening. The treatment of the orchestra by the entertainment committee was excellent. Marshall Cole leaves, Sunday morning, for Columbus to address the "apostolic assembly of the world" which convenes at noon. He addressed the M. M. S. of East Mt. Zion Baptist church, Thursday afternoon. Mr. Cole drove a coal wagon and, Wednesday morning gave it up, having been "called to preach." Orders were received, last week, from Maj. J. G. Foster of Dayton to recruit Company D, Ninth Battalion, to the new war strength. This will mean the enlistment of 100 additional men Recruits probably will be secured through the medium of the army recruiting station in Public Square, rather than through the officers of the company, it was said at Central armory, last week. What about the 150 men "furloughed," some weeks ago, after Co. D had been recruited to 300 men for the proposed Ninth Ohio regiment of unmounted cavalry? It was announced at the time that they were not discharged, only "furloughed." Have they been "forgotten," too? Officers of Co. D, now at Central armory, have received orders to entrain for Camp Sheridan, Montgomery, Ala., where Co. B of Columbus, has been for many weeks. Previous orders to recruit 100 additional men to bring the company to the new war strength have been rescinded and the company will leave today (Friday) at noon for Montgomery, Ala. The men boast of an unusually good jazz band. So great has been its attraction for the scores of girls employed by the draft boards at Central armory that Monday afternoon all draft work practically was abandoned for a time while the stenographers flitted about to the wild strains of a jazz waltz. Lieut. Brown was forced to stop the music before the girls could be induced to return to their work, soldiers at the armory declared. The efforts of Fleming supporters to draw the editor of The Gazette into the Dillard - Bemer - Spero - Woods - Sutton eleventh ward political mess will fail for the very good reason that we refuse to be so placed. The publication in The Gazette of Sept. 29,17, in which we announced our refusal to further lend aid to Dillard's candidacy which had been lowered, under the direction of Sam Woods and Charlie Sutton, to that of being but a "stalking horse" for Beemer's (democratic) candidacy, made clear our position, and also explains our refusal to listen to Roger's plea for a renewal of our support when he came to The Gazette office with Mr. Byrd, on Saturday morning, Sept. 29, 17. Mentioning voters in that ward opposed to Fleming and Beemer concentrate their voting strength on Edward Stanley, Republican candidate for the city council, and thus defeat both Beemer and Fleming and elect Stanley who is far and away the best of the several candidates for the city council in the ward. Rev. E. R. Wright, secretary of the local Federated churches organization, conferred last week Wednesday in its headquarters, in the Schofield Bldg., with Revs. Bayliss, Harris, Fiskback, Jackson, O'Connell, Jones, B. K. Smith, Dr. J. K. Nickens and Welcome Blue on the vice conditions in the Central avenue district, and at his request a committee of three of our local Ministers' alliance met a committee of like day (Thursday) to designate the following place further consideration of the matter Rev. Wright outlined a program which he thought the police should follow to further improve the sad conditions still existing to a large degree in that district (and elsewhere in the city). So you see it took a white man to make the members of our local Ministers' Alliance wake up long enough to even pay a little attention to a vile immoral condition of their own immediate vicinity that has existed for quite a year and that has been used to have HAVE MERCY ON THEM! The Gazette, has been trying to make them do something and finally had to "move" a rehite man to "punch them up." In an effort to obtain men needed to fill vacancies in the fire and police department, Public Safety Director Sprosty probably will ask the civil service commission for a ruling which would make eligible for appointment any man in Cuyahoga county filling civil service requirements. Policemen and firemen receive about $1,000 a year. Examinator fill more than thirty vacancies in the city service have been announced for Oct. 23 and Oct. 27 by Kline. The first examination will be for junior clerks. Successful applicants will receive a starting salary of $600 a year. On the 27th junior stenographers will take examinations for positions paying an initial salary of $720 a year. There are many of our young men, in the city, working as elevator conductors, waiters and porters who are able to pass these examinations. We are splendid opportunities to get better and permanent positions, that should not be allowed to get away. Good positions in the Post Office are also "going a begging." Wake up and get busy. Take the examinations. Our young women should "get after" the young men and urge them to try for these and other positions open. Our ministers should call their congregations' attention to these openings. BEST FOR THE BLOOD—Puro Herbs. Sold only at Brown Drug Co. cor. E. 28th St. and Central Ave.—Adv. Succinct Account of What a Virginia Institution Is Doing to Uplift Youths Committed to Its Care—Few in Army of Youngsters Have Had Any Previous Training. Superintendent Thomas J. Edwards of the Virginia Reformatory Association For Colored Boys gives a very encouraging report of the work being done by the association. Speaking of the results obtained, Mr. Edwards says that in 1915 the broom farm factory furnished the institution with brooms for one year. The result of this experiment was so satisfactory that in 1910 twenty-three acres in broom corn were planted in the low grounds, from which were made several tons of broom corn. Shoe repairing, which is done in the same room where brooms are made, furnishes employment to a group of boys, who do most of the school repair work. Seventy boys do the cooking, laundering, sewing, patching, the dining room work, cutting and carrying wood, carrying water and cleaning rooms for offices and boys. From six to ten boys leave the institution each day to work for neighbors and, of course, return unguarded. During berry season a dozen or more boys picked over 400 quarts of berries for canning purposes. A boy regularly carries the malt between the Hanover postoffice and the school. Two boys have principally looked after the repairs of gasoline engines in the community of Hanover. Helping City Boys to Make Good. Eighty per cent of 162 boys of the 202 boys who were in the institution the past two years had previously had poor or no home training and very meager school advantages. None of the 202 boys had any definite idea of any trade, and not more than one-half dozen knew any definite thing as a result of training before coming to the institution. Notwithstanding this lack of knowledge about things, it is surprising to note the rapidity with which these boys grasp new ideas. In many respects they surpass boys at large with superior chances. Covering two years, of the 202 boys 139 were from cities and towns of the state. Richmond alone furnished sixty-one and Norfolk twenty-eight. The counties or rural districts furnished only sixty-three. Richmond furnishes 25 per cent of all the boys in the institution and 37 per cent of all the boys from cities. Observation at once shows that the problem is a city one. The institution has its regular church services conducted by an Episcopal minister, a regular Sunday school conducted by the employees of the institution and a character building club which is directed by an employee, but offered and controlled largely by the boys themselves. The boys move to church and Sunday school services in battalion formation, accompanied by the band, which plays marches. Two Sundays in each month are used for regular institutional family meetings. The public school is adjusted so that the relationship between its work and the management of the institution is quite smooth. Two teachers have the day school and two the night school. All of these teachers are paid by the state, but in most cases the institution has been in position to supplement the work of the state by lengthening the night school hours and by employing the teachers in some other capacity at the institution during the summer months. The day school runs eight months in the year, the night school from five to seven months, depending largely upon the financial condition of the institution. The record shows that more than a third of the boys received into the institution could neither read nor write. The value of the public school is shown in the fact that the boys who remain throughout the two years have some definite knowledge of reading, writing and arithmetic when they are discharged. Any effort of proper relationship which may exist between the parents and their children is encouraged. Every boy is urged through the day school to keep in touch with his parents by letter or postal card which is provided to those who desire to hear from mother, father or guardian. Parents may send as much as one dollar to their children by postal money order. They may also send shoes, stockings, sweaters, toothbrushes and boxes of food on holidays and Christmas. Parents are permitted to visit the institution at any time most convenient to them, especially on Sundays. They are expected to bear their own expenses to and from the institution. While the institution has tried to live up to the opportunities and resources at its command, it is aware of the fact that there is something brighter in the future for the boys. There is need for a system in which the basic principles of religion, education, work and recreation are more evenly distributed and the government of the school put largely into the hands of the boys themselves.

MASSENGALE, Proprietor Ideal Rooms for Gentlemen All Modern Improvements PHONE SERVICE Central 2492-L CLEVELAND NEED YOUNG MEN FOR THE CHURCH Archdeacon Russell's Timely Address to Ministers. President of Industrial School at Lawrenceville, Va., Suggests Campaign to Recruit Religious Leaders Who Can Inspire Men to Become Followers of Christ—Commends Billy Sunday. Archdeacon James S. Russell, principal of the St. Paul Normal and Industrial school at Lawrenceville, Va., in an address before the ministers' conference at Hampton, Va., recently, in part said: "For some months our country, has been putting forth an unparalleled effort to enlist young men for the work of defense in army, navy and farm service. I would be the last person to attempt to minimize the importance of this effort. We know that the world must be made safe for democracy, and that the responsibility of making it safe for democracy rests upon America. "Important and absolutely essential as is the campaign for recruits to fight this war of democracy, there is another campaign that is even more needed. It does not concern national security or commercial prosperity or political freedom; it concerns something without which even those blessings are of little value; it concerns that spiritual progress toward which the world is ever blindly striving; it has to do with furthering the coming of the kingdom of God. "There is just now a most urgent need of a definite effort to enlist young men for the work of the ministry. The church militant needs soldiers. It needs men of every denomination and of every race. This statement is based upon three truths, each of which I shall try to develop. First, it is evident to the impartial observer that the modern church lacks something, second, what it chiefly lacks is men in the pulpit; third, the way to supply this lack is to make a definite, well conducted effort to get recruits for the ministry. "We are fast becoming a nation of nonchurchgoers. Now this is a deplorable state of affairs, for it is, and always has been, the function of the church to minister to man's religious needs. The longing to get in touch with God is in the heart of every human being. Although each individual must make his own approach he cannot well do it without the aid of the church. Christ stated plainly that his followers were to build up a church in order to spread their Master's doctrines. The church is the conserver of the spiritual, just as the state is the conserver of the political. If we are not to degenerate into a godless people the decline of the church must be stopped. "The causes of this decline are both external and internal. Many ministers would place the blame wholly on outside causes, such as the worship of gain, the increase of the spirit of doubt and all those distractions of modern life that tend to keep the soul, from knowledge of itself. "I have more respect for human nature than to attribute the religious decline wholly to such causes. I believe the church itself is partly to blame. It has repelled many truly religious people and delven them to seek to satisfy their spiritual longings elsewhere. perchance in some fraternal organization. They are seeking peace, but know not where to find it. Like the ancient Athenian they search in the market place for the unknown God. "It is the business of the church of Christ to inspire men to be true followers of the Christian religion. It should help to make real and vital the tie that binds us to God. It has no other purpose. Whatever else it may do, whatever causes it may adopt, should all be subsidiary to this main purpose. To make men religious, to increase spirituality, to lead them to the knowledge of God and to make them brothers in Christ—this is the function of the church. "I believe that what is most needed to remedy this state of affairs is to fill our pulpita with Christian preachers of power. If we do this the filling of the paws will take care of itself. In spite of his many faults, in spite of his vulgarity, in spite of his crude theology, in spite of his intolerance. Billy Sunday can always get hearers. For weeks last summer his tabernacle in New York was filled to overflowing. Why? Simply because people believed that he had a message for them. "The Christian minister is not out of date. The world is yet far from Christianism. It seems ridiculous to speak of nations as Christian who fly at each other's throats like mad dogs. The world is full of horrors that Christ came to blot out. And he can do it if we give his church a chance. It has become a little saying that we are standing today at the threshold of a new era, but it is supremely true. This great world war marks the zenith of nationalism. The next period in the world's history will be that of internationalism. There will be a chance for the spirit of human brotherhood to work out good results for all. The program of Christianity is now about to begin. Beauty will be given for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning and the spirit of praise for heaviness." Birds Have Regular Routes. Migratory birds are said to cross the North sea by well-defined tracks. The autumn immigrants fly from east to west and northwest, their return in spring being conducted over the same lines in a contrary direction. The bird flight regularly about the middle of October and the second a month later. Black and White Hats For Fall THE FASHION WEEKLY THE FILM MAKER RATHER unique is this crown made of white taffeta disks set so as to give the effect of scales. Two jet pins apparently attach this novel crown to the broad, graceful brim of black velvet, with the dip over the face. ```markdown ``` There is a heavy sport ribbon, with a ground of threads of mercerized linen and with a design run in with丝 threads in bright colors. The design is in the form of geometrical figures so made that the colored threads are carried along first on one side, then on the other, of the ribbon, so that there is neither a right nor a wrong side. The simplest of these designs is a series of pyramids, with the point first at one border, then at the other, of the ribbon. ```markdown ``` Autumn footwear is to be limited to seven lifeshes.

Thus we have the expressions, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth," "Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed." Many other expressions like these are found in the Bible and elsewhere. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, OCTOBER 13, 1917 more than seven inches you are not conforming to Uncle Sam's specifications. This ruling is necessary, for raw materials of a sort needed to supply uniforms for our soldiers at the front should be conserved, and of course the materials that go into footwear are extremely important. The seven inch boots ready for autumn wear are really very dainty and desirable affairs with their trim cut at the ankle, their long, slim toe and gracious line over the instep. The vamps are of leather and the buttoned top usually of cloth. A laceed boot in this height would be atrocious. Not the prettiest ankle could make it appear anything but clumsy, so the buttoned model is established in favor for the coming months, and all the smart and exclusive new footwear is of this type. Roumanian embroidery is decidedly in favor. High collars and long sleeves will be favored, for all street garments. ANNA MAY. Luxury Wartimes tern and narrow border is decorated in the center with large poppies made of fine straw braid appliqued to the vell's mesh. When the vell is thrown over the head the straw poppies show up well over the crown and front of a small hat. ```markdown ``` An exquisite evening wrap for autumn shows the clever combination of kolinsky and ermine. The wrap is fastened by a large tortoise buckle and is generously and fashionably full. A mole cape recently designed has a strong suggestion of the military trend, which is likewise seen in garments of other character for women. Revival of Tatting. We see that tatting has been revived in our best circles, but we don't suppose it will be any more difficult for a thoughtful man to hold his wife's undivided attention as he discusses the tariff in its various aspects and ramifications than it has been under the fillet-crochet regime.—Ohio State Journal. To Natural Gas Users: The winter of 1916-1917 demonstrated that a continuous adequate supply of natural gas cannot be relied upon without risk of personal discomfort. The occasional inconvenience caused by the Gas Company's inability to obtain sufficient gas to meet all the demands made upon it was due to a combination of conditions beyond the control of the Company, and was not through any lack of diligence on its part. First—The severe winter weather and continuous low temperature. Second—Reduction in pressure and depletion of gas producing wells, caused by the continuous drain due to unusual demand. Third—Shortage of coal, and the consequent high prices as compared with the relatively low cost of gas, resulted in the coal heating appliances in thousands of homes being converted for the use of natural gas. Temporary interruption of service is a risk incurred by all gas companies. These interruptions result in great loss, and it follows that the company is as much interested in giving satisfactory service as the user of gas is in securing it. It must be borne in mind that cities relying exclusively on coal for heating during the past winter suffered inconveniences equal to, if not greater than, those depending upon gas. Periods of short duration may be expected next winter when all the requirements may not be met and temporary discomfort will be unavoidable unless the users of gas co-operate with the Company in its efforts to prevent recurrence of the shortage experienced last winter. The prudent gas user will provide at least a temporary supply of coal or other fuel as a precautionary measure. By so doing, much inconvenience and possible discomfort may be averted. Notwithstanding the unusual conditions due to scarcity of labor and the enormous increase in cost of material, the Company has made every effort to add to its supply, and has been fairly successful in obtaining added production of gas by drilling and by purchase. The new production, however, will not more than overcome the decline in old wells, so that we cannot safely predict that a greater amount of gas will be available for distribution next winter than was produced and delivered last year. Some misunderstanding seems to exist relative to gas furnished factories during the past winter. All gas supplied for industrial uses was discontinued except in the case of gas engines, where discontinuance of the supply would necessitate the shutting down of the factory and deprive many men of employment. This and injunction proceedings by a few large users were the only exceptions, otherwise gas was supplied for domestic purposes only. This year, in addition to the domestic requirements there may be a demand for gas for industrial purposes occasioned by the war, and a sacrifice of home comfort by gas users may be necessary rather than cause any interruption of the work for the proper supply of implements for the use of our soldiers. By the exercise of economy in the use of gas and other fuels, you will be contributing to their comfort and success. Gas users may rest assured that the Company will continue its efforts to meet the requirements of the coming winter, but we consider it eminently proper to give this timely warning and to suggest that homes be provided with supplemental or auxiliary appliances, available for the use of other fuels in case of emergency. Our experts will give you personal advice free of charge. We solicit your co-operation. The East Ohio Gas Company By M. B.
