MANY BAPTISTS IN STATE CONVENTION Mrs. Galines Says It Is Cheaper to Save the Boy Than It Was to Reform the Man—Many Prominent Baptists Present. Salina, Kas., Oct. 12—The meeting of the Baptist State convention and the Women's Home and Foreign Mission convention have brought into Salina many Baptists this week from all parts of the state, and it is said to be the finest in the history of the organization. It was noteworthy for its lack of points of order, and questions of privilege and all the delegates seemed to work together as one. The women were presided over by Mrs. Emma Galines, who in her opening address made a strong appeal for the boys. She declared that it was much cheaper to save the boy than it was to reform the man, so wanted that more attention be given to the boys in the future. She pointed out that many roads of evil and the dens of shame opened to the boys and unless the mothers and fathers turned attention to them the future for the whole race was dark. She is indeed a fine presiding officer and made many friends in her convention. The women of Kansas City, Lawrence, Wichita, topeka. Parsons, Coffeyville, and other parts of the state stock important parts in the meeting. Miss Josephine Junius of the Topeka Industrial school made a hit. It was her first time to meet the convention. Her first time in the state: She comes from Jacksonville, Fla., where she was connected with the Florida Baptist college, Prof N. W. Collier, president. She has a sweet voice, and it will win for her both fame and fortune. She spent the summer in Boston and is now teaching, preparing to study. Mrs. Emma Galnes was elected president for another year; Mrs. D. A. Ellas, Pittsburg; Mrs. Alice Gibson, Abilline; Mrs. S. B. Butler, Leavenworth; Miss Nelle Ellis, Topeka; Mrs. J. W. Gordan, Iola; vice presidents; Mrs. I. B. Frazier, Wichita, corresponding secretary; Mrs. H. D. Scott, Kansas City, recording secretary; Mrs. Jane Donaly, Coffeville, treasurer; Mrs. A. J. Johnson, Fort Scott, historian; Mrs. W. M. Smoothers, Atchison, statistician. The state convention did not meet until Thursday morning. It opened with sunshine and every session was filled with it. Over this convention one of the most noted Baptist ministers of Kansas Presided, Dr. W. A. Bowren. Like the aggressive young man in any line of profession, Dr. Bowren took time and prepared for his work. He is a graduate from the State university, Louisville, Ky., and has spent much of his time in study since. When Dr. E. Arlington Wilson left the state Dr. Bowren was elected his successor, and so well has he discharged his duty that he has been elected each year since without opposition. In his work he has the support of the leaders of the state. Dr. George McNeal, of Kansas City; Dr. J. B. Hill, Topekn; E. T. Fishback and S. B. Butler, Wichita; Dr. Vanle, Wichita, general missionary; P. D. Skinner, of Coffeyville; Dr. Ellas, D. A. Holmes, Kansas City; John Allen, Hutchison; G. N. Jackson, Lawrence; Robert Cox, J. W. Clay, P. C. Crutchfield, Port Scott; E. A. Galnes, Chamute; R. C. Rartwick, Parsons; William R. Carter, Topeka; T. L. Griffith, Topeka; F. L. Hammond, Atchison; H. I. Monroe, are among those who assisted in the great work accomplished during the week. The convention is one of the best organizations in the country among the Baptists and is doing practical work. It making a place for the race. Charles Stewart of Chicago, representing the United States Food Administration Board, Washington, D.C. under Hon. Herbert C Hoover, was among the visitors. TWELVE MONTHS $1 50 WERE THEY GUILTY? Ten Colored Men Out of Thirteen Given 14 Years Each—Evidence Claimed to Be Sufficient In Convicting Them With Murder of Detective July 1st in East St. Louis and Which Precipitated the East St. Louis, Ill, Race Riot. The courts of Bellville, IL, has developed, up to this time, resulting from the East St.-Louis riots, in July when more than 100 colored men, women and children were murdered burned, drowned and shot by the whites of that city; in the first dash from a white jury in convicting 10 colored men who were claimed to be among the leading killers and a detective. Each of these men received a sentence of 14 years in the state prison, while three others were acquitted. The verdict was brought in Saturday afternoon, October the 6th after the jury had been out only a short time. It is said by many of both races, present at the trial, that there was no evidence sufficient to convict one of these men, showing without contradiction they were not within five blocks when the officer was killed, but still they were found guilty. Those convicted were: Fayette Parker, Othaniels Peoples, George Roberts, Horace Thomas, Marshall Alexander, Dee Smotherman, Albert Hughes, Bud Townsend, Will Palmer and Chas Foster. Those acquitted were: Thomas Tackett, Guy Moore and Lester Fowler. The hearings in the cases of white men started Monday, who were indicted in connection with the riots. The eyes of the whole country are upon the court of Bellville as to the verdict of these white rioters of which there are more than one hundred. CITIZENS' FORUM. This, the largest literary society in Greater Kansas City, is always attended by some of the most intelligent and the elite from the four hundred, also by the best common sense people from all walks of life. President Buster opened promptly and the quotations and the current events were given by many in a lively manner. Miss W. Dwiggins rendered a pretty piano solo, then the principal speaker, Dr. S. H. Thompson, one of our oldest physicians, was announced for his address on "Tuberculosis." He told how Esculates and Hypocrites, fathers of medicine, first discovered the disease and called it "phthisis," which means consume. How Dr. Kope discovered the tubercle and bacillus. Say, "That it does not attack a healthy body. Style causes people in temperate zones to go nearly naked. Whisky drinkers also are more susceptible to k. Young men by larciness become preys to it, not having proper sunlight and air help produce it, and germs drying in split spread it, etc. Some preventions in its beginning are go to the doctor, etc. Questions on it were asked by Rev. Robinson, Wm. Rhodes, Miss Ruth Bradley, Prof. Needy, P. Gardner and Mr. Washington. Dr. Chapman of Kansas City, Mo. spoke of the condition of the throat and nasal passages. Dr. Davis also spoke. It was the most instructive physical address that has been at the Forum. The large audience made the Temple reverberate with applause. We were honored with the presence of Attorney Heuston, of Kansas City, Mo. Prof. King made remarks. Mrs. D. Walker-Booker of Indianapolis, by invitation, made a lovely talk. She, too, like one of our own prominent women, ended her talk with a plea for black teachers, black doctors and black everything. She received an ovation. A still finer program will be rendered Sunday, October 14th. Everybody come, learned and unlearned. Forum Publicity Com. Remember that the race's greatest stage performer, Madame Dayse Walker-Booker, will give a recital at First A. M. E. church next Thursday night, October 18. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS OCTOBER, 12 1917. Men's Meeting Makes History MEN'S MASS MEETING AT FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH-REV. GRIF- FIN, PASTOR. One of the most unique and history- making meetings ever held in Kansas City, Kansas, was that of last Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. in the A. M. E. church. The lower floor, both in seating and standing room was filled to capacity. The gallery was crowded with women. The choir loft was also filled with men. Prof. G. A. Gregg was secretary and Prof. J. P. King was master of cerem- onies. Mr. Wisdom, who is in charge of the boys' department of the Paseo Y. M. C. A. lead the large audience in sing- ing, "My Country Tis of Thee." Prof. King in very fitting and appropriate words presented the purpose of the meeting. He was very much impressed with the presence of that great mass of people. He introduced the "Alabama Quar- ette," and organization imported bodily from the state bearing that name. Their singing is good. Their various, odd, strange, surprising tones injected into their many entertaining selecions were indeed pleasing. Hon. W. C. Heuston was then introduced as the speaker of the hour. His theme was: "What Side Should the Black Man Be On in the Various Strikes?" He did not answer the question directly but presented an illustrated argument that left no one in doubt as to what to do. He said among other things that "Labor Is Wealth," that the whole contest is over the control of wealth. The purpose of the East St. Louis riot was to intimidate the Negroes and thereby allow the foreign element to hold the balance of power which power had been changed, due to the large number of white men going to war. He said we were all strikers, striking for more work and more opportunities. That we should not favor undermining the wage scale. That we should not destroy property. It was a meeting which should be the forerunner of many more. It was a striking evidence of the fact that we are beginning to think. Nothing but ideas coupled with reality could bring such a mass of people together. We need to exchange ideas. Let there be more. A YOUNG COLORED MAN FOUND FLOATING IN POND Samuel Turner, 1166 Hudson street, Rosedale, was found Wednesday morning floating in a pond in the rear of Wilson's Packing plant, Armourdale. The body was brought to the Oliver Undertaking establishment, 415 Minnesota avenue. It was not long until the parents called and identified the body as that of their son, who left his home Saturday evening, September 29th and had not been seen since until they saw the body at the morgue. He was 22 years of age and was an employee at the Cudahy packing plant up to the time of his death. It was not known how he came to get into this murky pond. The body being so decomposed, he was buried from the Oliver undertaking parors immediately. WOMEN'S DAY. Mrs. Maggie Merritt has asked the society editor and every woman to help her fill the auditorium and large galleries of Metropolitan for the Forum Women's Day, about the second Sunday in November. She wants to have as large or a larger crowd than the men had on their day. So ladies, begin now talking it up. You will have to hurry to catch up with the men. It is for women of all churches. Men can come, too, if there's room. But let's fill all the space. She will have a very fine program of women from Kansas City, Mo., other large cities and from Kansas City, Kas. HEAR REV, C. E.

Bell West .1050 THREE-COLORED OFFICERS-APPOINTED ALL ARE CLEAN-CUT MEN AND EACH ONE IS EXPECTED TO * MAKE GOOD On Tuesday evening of this week Mayor Mendenhall made good his promise when three colored men were appointed city patrolmen. They were selected irrespective of policy or politics; but on the worth and service they might be to the city's best interest and protection. The Advocate congratulates Mayor Mendenhall on his splendid judgment in selecting such citizens to help look after the protection and welfare of our homes. The gentlemen who were honored with these most responsible positions should feel proud of the faith and confidence the city's chief executive has in them, also their own race will have in their ability as the people's servants. The men appointed were: J. W. Hardy, 820 Freeman; Wesley Robinson, 303 New Jersey and S. L. Vaughn, 207 Greeley. ALABAMA SOCIAL CLUB HOLDS ANNIVERSARY. The Alabama Social Club, made up of families from Mobile, who have emigrated to this city in the past year held their first anniversary Monday evening at M. & O. hall at the corner of Eighth and Washington boulevard. There were some 200 invited guests present to partake of the hospitality of these splendid people. A short program was rendered, which was greatly enjoyed and especially the Alabama Quartet. Following the program all were served with a fine lunch—sandwiches, lemonade and an abundance of ice cream and cake. The affair was one of an unusual precedent, strangers, you might say, coming into our community and entertaining in a public way the home people. These families of this club are made up of the best citizens coming from this Southern state and city. It was a great gathering and its society effect will be far reaching in our community. The officers of this club are: H. R. Williams, president; S. M. Chism, vice president; Moses Ireland, secretary; Randolph Robinson, treasurer. Others, who are members and helped make things pleasant were: John Ward, Carter Simmons, Joe Jones, Bob Banfield, Sam Johnson, Henry Edwards, James Reynolds, Will Reynolds, Wm. Runs, Jessie Alexander, Isaac Louis, Frank Hill, W. M. Pope, Louis Boller, J. E. Gau, Richard Brown, Mrs. S. Chism, Chas. McLain, Collin Harris, Wylie Wortle, Mrs. Hattie Ireland, Mrs. Annie Ward, Mrs. Maggie Robinson, Mrs. Mattie Jones and Mrs. Lela Brown. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, METRO POLITAN TEMPLE, A large congregation assembled in this beautiful temple of God: Some to participate in the covenant and sacramental services, others as visitors. A pathetic scene of the meeting was when it became known, that Pastor D. A. Holmes, earthly shepherd of this flock, was to be operated on the next day at the hospital. As he is one of the best builders of the race and is much loved by his members and many friends, many wag for fear of the result of the operation. The communion was spiritual and the old songs such as "Alas and did my Saviour Bleed" and "Remember Me," were very uplifting. At 8 p.m. the pastor introduced Rev. Calvin Carter, formerly of Manhattan, but now of Santa Barbara, Cal., who preached a very intelligent sermon from Luke 10:30-38, "The good Samaritan." He said in part this was doubles the greatest parable in the Scriptures. Teaching us to "Love our neighbors as ourselves." Also said, We should beware of the Jericho of the road. The thieves are justs of the flesh and sins. No matter what our accomplishments, unless we accept Christ, we are a failure. He closed with a beautiful appeal to sinners, hypocrites and back sliders to turn from secret evils and return to God. At the close the pastor and communicates fellowship 14 into the church. An ordinary collection of over $50 was taken up and a sum given to Rev. Carter. After the verbal and musical benediction crowds strung to Pastor Holmes to bid him goodbye with their prayers for God's blessing and his speedy recovery. Next Sunday, October 14th, Rev. J. T. Hill, formerly of El Paso, Tex., but now of San Francisco, will preach at both services in the temple. He is one of the most acphyly men and one of the greatest apostles of the race. All should hear him. Saints and sinners of all denominations are invited. Pastor D. A. Holmes, DD., by authorized Pub. Dcm. The Metropolitan members are also working in a small rily on their pipe organ. They have only 10 or 12 clubs represented as states. The Missouri The little Sunshine Lady, Madame Dayse Walker-Booker, to deliver a series of Sunshine Talks on how to grow successful. That will inspire, rejuvenate and convert you to her beautiful philosophy of new life and your own wonderful possibilities for successful joy, health and wealth—not tomorrow, not after death, but here and now. Sometimes they call her the Jane Addams of the race, because she is a philanthropist. Sometimes they call her the Sarah Bernhardt of the race because of her wonderful work on the stage as a soul-stirring dramatist. Sometimes they call her the Lady Douglas, because like "The Old Man Eloquent," as a lecturer she completely captivates her every audience be it White or Black, composed of the Classes or the Masses, and holds it spellbound to the last minute by her matchless gift of speech. Sometimes she is called the Joan of Arc, because like the heroine of old, voices that would not be stilled called her forth to battle in defense of the Colored woman, not by the sword but by the power of her magnetic pen. Sometimes they call her "The Little Mother", because she loves young people—all young people—and for ten years has supported, in Indianapolis, a home for the protection and accommodation of girls away from home and a mother struggling to gain an honest foothold among strangers. But whether she expresses the beauty and good cheer and love of her soul as a philanthropist, a lecturer, a dramatist, a writer or a worker, always and always they call her "The Little Sunshine Lady" wherever she goes. When she comes they are glad, when it is time for her to say good-bye they are sorry, but they can never forget that she came, because always she leaves behind her rekindled ambition, new self respect, love for humanity, broader minds, good cheer, hope, new life! To hear Sunshine talks means to resolve anew; to see her means to love her—this Little Sunshine Lady with her heart of gold. She has traveled much, and learned many lessons from her travels. She has studied books and people. She has looked Despair in the eye and fainted not. She has bowed before the withering blasts of Disappointment and risen again with a greater determination. She has grown thru suffering; she has been sweetened by sorrow; she has been strengthened by failure; she has tasted the bitterness of defeat, and the nectar of glorious success without losing her balance. She has been tried by the fires and has come from the crucible with a heart of puret gold. She knows life; she knows human nature, she loves. And this is the secret of her marvelous power over men, women and children. She talks from the heart direct to the heart and the message always goes home. She has learned to be patient with the strength of the Strong; patient with the weakness of the weak, and loves the Sinner in spite of the sin. She will be in this city to teach, to encourage, to cheer, to strengthen, to inspire. If you know any who are Burden-bearers, or sick, or discouraged, or poverty-striken bring them with you to hear the Little Sunahline Lady in her Sunshine Talks as she has a special message for them. If you know any who are progressive, ambitious, prosperous, well, happy and determined to win the skies fall bring them with you to hear this wonderful little woman—Madame Dayse Walker-Booker, as she delivers her series of Inspiring Lectures on the following subjects: "As a Man Thinkketh So Is He," "Black Ideals," "At the Fork of the Roads," "Are You Willing to Pay the Price." "Life Is Good—All Good—for Everyone, for You and Me," "Success," "Once to Every Man," "Keeping Pit," "Guilty or Not Guilty," "Love," "God's Fools," "Sweetcarts" and "Jest Home Folks." You must not fail to hear her—COME, RAIN OR SHINE—at FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH, THURSDAY NIGHT, OCTOBER 18TH. and Kansas clubs are said to have the most members, but Kansas has only a very few working members. Nevertheless these 12 clubs are expected to raise not less than $300. God help them to succeed. There are so many churches colecting, some with fifty and a hundred clubs, that Metropolitan will raise its three or four hundred dollars and have its thousand dollar rally later. Mrs. Mary Wood, 1166 North Sixth street, is confined to her home with illness. Mr. Nutall, 619 New eJrsey is quite ill. His friends hope for his recovery soon.

ADMISSION 10c CHILDREN 10c UNCLE IKE HAS SMOTHING TO SAY ALONG THE LINE OF REASON. Uncle Ike? Well, what you want, longer- your Uncle Ike? Is you ever heav of dat feller in the bible who was named "Simeon" Wy, sho, I is hear about him—Twas him what said, "Lord, now let test thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word. For mine eyes have seen thy salvation." And to tell you the whole truth, Your Uncle like has a sort of similar feeling when he looks back through several years that passed slowly and hung heavily upon our political fortune. In fact, these years pressed so heavily upon us that it can be truly said "In them our political fortune was completely destroyed." But when we take the horoscope today, after a few months of action of a Strong, Stalwart, Courageous, Honest and Honorable man at the head of affairs in our community in which we see mountains of Injustice leveled, Grievous Wrongs righted, and Wanton Wounds dressed and healed—it is enough to make me feel, in a measure, as did this good man Simeon. One possible difference between me and Simeon is that he perhaps, was ready to go. I am not quite at that point, for the reason that I see so much additional that we may accomplish, if all together we would apply the same sort of tactics, that have been used in obtaining what has thus far been obtained. No one will deny that the fight to regain our hold in the police department has been strenuous no one with reason will say it has been an insignificant affair, and no one can deny that the victory is great. Then why not, amidst the great joy that comes to us on this occasion, and while we are extending thanks and evidences of appreciation to our worthy mayor—Why not, I say, take fresh courage to run the whole race of a Higher and Nobler Manhood for the Race, along the same line followed in this particular instance. Let's stop our foolin' and acting fools and join hands, pool interests and proceed along the LINE OF REASON AND COMMON SENSE. Listen, listen, if we will, we will accomplish a great deal. If we will not, we will not accomplish anything worth remembering. Now then, we can do such, and do it easily. And the process is simple, to-wit: Let every one who knows he has been doing dirty, low, mean and envious deeds, just stop and cease to do such. We won't need to make any announcement or raise any hue and cry but just cease to do such deeds, the effect will be the same and marvelously to our benefit. Let's try it. I. F. BRADLEY. A COLORED MAN LOSES LIFE BY CAVEIN. G. W. Parker, while working at the corner of Ninth and Euclid avenue Wednesday, was covered up by a sudden cavein about 3.30 p. m. and before his comrades could rescue him he had smothered to death. Mr. Parker was about sixty years of age and came here about two weeks ago from his home in Tulsa, Okla., to visit some of his children who reside in this city. He was a man that did not like to be idle and thought he would do a little labor while here. The body was taken to the Jones undertaking parlors, 440 State avenue. Rev. J. C. C. Owens' sermon Sunday will be, "Threatened, Intiridation." Hear him. Bring your friends. Cause someone to say, "I was glad when they said unto me, 'let us go into the House of the Lord.'" Mr. Wood, who is in Idaho, is expected home soon. A Clear, Bubbly, Family Paper, Published in the amount one were or all Humanity NEGRO SOLDIERS TO CAMP FUNSTON Entire Contingent From Mississippi Will Be Trained at Kansas State Will be trained at Kansas Camp. Washington, Oct. 9.—Under special orders issued today for mobilizing the Negro troops, taken under the draft, not only are the Negroes from the states, which have sent white troops to Camp Funston at Fort Riley to be trained there, but the entire contingent of Negroes from Mississippi are to be sent to Camp Funston. In all there will be 8,300 Negroes trained at Funston, more than any individual camp in the country. To make room at Funston for this large body of men, numbers of the Kansas and Missouri national army men will be transferred to Camp Donliphan at Fort Sill to fill the Missouri-Kansas National Guard units up to war strength. Some national army men from other states will be sent to Camp Pike in Arkansas to fill up a division there. This will still leave considerable more than a division of white national army men at Camp Funston. Funston is to have more white and black national army men than any other post. Sending the Negroes to the camp has been held-up pending a final decision as to how they should be handled. At four of the Southern camps, it was found, if the regular quotas from the states selected to send men to those camps were followed, there would be more Negro troops than white and not near enough white troops to form a division. The War Department finally decided to send sufficient white troops from other states to make a complete white division at each camp; a few Negro troops are to be trained at each camp, but the bulk of them are scattered at other national army cantonments, as for example, the sending of the Mississippi contingent to Camp Funston. Although approximately 53,600 Negroes are to be taken in the first draft, only one Negro division will be formed of that number as a fighting unit. There will be sixteen white national army divisions. This one Negro division will not be brought together until after the men have been trained, as separate units in regiments at the various cantonments. The officers of this division, move captain, will be whites. However, 104 captains, 397 that lieutenants and 125 second lieutenants will receive commissions in a few days at the Negro officers' camps at Des Moines. In, and they will be dispatched to the various camps to command the companies of Negro troops taken into service. SUMNER NIGHT SCHOOL OPENS. Summer night school opened Monday with a large enrollment with old and new students. Prof. J. P. King, the principle, states the outlook for this year is greater than any year since its founding and that he looks for an unusual year's work in every department.

This new company comes to the front in oil operations. The Golden Oil Company organized by Kansas City, Kas., men last June, already has two well which tested by the drill pump four and one-half barrels per hour or about 80 barrels a day and is now conservatively estimated as a thirty-five barrel well. The company now has contracted with Messrs DeLoe and Rugh of Coffryville, Kas., oil well driller of more than local fame, to drill ten additional wells as soon as they can do so, working day and night. This is a wonderful thing for the company, because this Chanute field is as sure as any oil field known. Mr. DeLoe says it is only a matter of going down to the oil. THE OIL IS THERE AND WE EXPECT EVERY WELL TO BE A PRODUCER. Get your pencil and figure for yourself. Should each well come in 25 to 50 barrels and settle to 10 or 15 oil is worth $2.00 and the pipe line is there ready to take it. Figure it out, dividends are just as sure to follow this development, as the drilling is done and the company have so organized that the money from oil and gas goes into the dividend fund. No officers draw salaries as officers until dividends are paid. Stock is sold for this development and all the oil sold now returns to the holders of Golden Oil stock as dividends. It is as fine an oil opportunity as was ever presented to the investing public. It succeeds just like success, and is entitled to the support of Kansas City people. Dr. T. A. Prouse, with offices at 502 Minnesota avenue, has the sale of the Golden Oil stock in hand and states that the drill is now on the ground to begin the second well for the company and the first of the ten under this new contract. He says casing has been purchased for the well and everything will move rapidly forward. The company expects to pay dividends by January 1st, 1918, and quarterly thereafter. The Golden Oil company is a Kansas company with its home office here in Kansas City, Kansas, and the big majority of its investors are our fellow townsmen. MUTINY IN ENEMY CAMP CHEERS U. S. MEAN THAT REVOLUTION WILL OVERCOME WAR Washington, Oct. 11.—Official Washington is making hands with itself over the mutiny at Wilhelmhaven. All that one hears at the war department is talk that may be construed to mean that the recent revolt is not an isolated case but may be taken as a forerunner of what is to come. The feeling runs strong that the king looked for general uprising is at hand and that this one incident marks the beginning of the end of the Hohencellern house. In the president's war proclamation he said, "The war is not with the German people, it is with the kaiser," and if it is case of "Deutschland Uber Allied" in Germany, minus the kaiser, it is believed that peace may come soon. That sailors who are more under the eyes of their officers, or the ones who started this trouble instead of soldiers, who have more apparent freedom, is very significant. The mutiners are at present confined under strict guard until plans are made for their disposal. The kaiser wanted to have one man in every seven shot but the councilor showed him that it would be better policy to only kill the ringleaders, so this was done at once. There are jail sentences already given out that amount to a total of over 300 years and almost half the prisoners are left. The fact that teh revolt came long before it was expected shows that the German people are really sick of the war and would be glad to end it. And this may be the beginning of that end. U. S. TAKES CONTROL OF COAL SUPPLY RAILROADS MUST BE KEPT GOING SAYS COMMISSIONER GARFIELD ORDER IS ISSUED TODAY MEANS A SOLUTION OF FUEL PROBLEM THROUGH GOVERNMENT Washington, Oct. 11.—The full power of the government was exerted today to solve the coal shortage problem when the first commandeering order was issued. Under the order issued by Dr. Harry A. Garfield, fuel administrator, the Pennsylvania railroad, which serves 60 mines, will be supplied by the biennial producers on a pro rata basis. The fuel needed by the Pennsylvania U. S. AIRSHIPS TO DROP BOMBS IN GERMANY BIG FLEET OF 1,000 FLYERS TO CROSS THE ATLANTIC OCEAN ANSWER TO BOLD TEUTON BOAST MANUFACTURERS ARE RUSHING WORK TO GET FLEET Washington, Oct. 11.—America's air armada will strike Germany first. Confident prediction of the trans-Atlantic attack is made by military experts, aviation experts of the allied commissions here and men working in conjunction with the aircraft board of the Council of National Defense. It is the reply to Germany's recent boost that she will send a fleet of battle planes to this country. American manufacturers, it is learned, have announced they stand ready to equip a fleet of 1,000 battle-planes of the largest type and send them across the Atlantic for a drive on Germany's fleet at the Kiel base. Battle-planes are now under construction to make this attack feasible. Germany has boasted she would strike this country first. To do so she must have battle-planes that can travel 7,000 miles and return to their base—about seven times the distance yet covered by an airplane in a single flight. Her approximate distance from the Atlantic coast is 3,500 miles. Americans, on the other hand, will have to cover only about 1,300 miles at a leg—200 miles longer than flights have been made. Taking the trans-Atlantic air route, Newfoundland to the Azores to Ireland, she will have two intermediate stops in friendly countries. Great machines are being built in this country that can remain in the air 24 hours. An Italian aviator has flown more than 1,000 miles at a single flight. French aviators have remained up in light machines nearly 12 hours. British airmen have been doing the same thing. Manufacturers have estimated that the life of large battleplanes like the Italians and the British is 150 hours maximum in the air. After that they must be overhauled. ina system must be furnished at the prices fixed by the government. In some instances coal consignments under contract for delivery to other industries will be interfered with by today's order. "The railroads must be kept running," said the fuel administrator in an official statement. "The fuel administration suggests that operators withhold coal from persons and corporations needing it least and that the attend particularly to the needs of roads other than the Pennsylvania." At the same time the fuel administration gave warning that another order is in preparation that will commandeer coal for all other important railroad systems of the nation. This will be followed by a third order commandeering fuel for commercial use. The needs of the government will be cared for first. Public utilities will come next and the domestic consumer third.
