COAL EXPORTS
NOW LIMITED
During This Year United States Must
Not Export Coal for Other
Than War Uses
Ah coul Is, aside from elcctrlclty.
which Ih not yet In general use. the
stable article of fuel in this com
munity. the following from the Fuel
Administrator of the United Htutes
will be rend with Intereiit by every
body. It iiImo constitute!* a mighty
argument for augmenting the coal
supply of the country by opening
I and operating the coal Held* of Al
'aska in order that the necessity of
shipping coal from the States to this
country may be obviated:
Owing to the greatly Increased
requirements for coal by Industries
within the United States, duo to war
dcmniids. It is Impossible to predict
how yiuch coal cuii be spared for
export during the coming year. It
Is clear, hwever, that it will be im
possible to ullow coal to be export
ed. except for purposes contributing
materially to the conduct of the war.
This, of course. Includes coal for the
manufacture of food products, tin
production of minerals, und for
bunkers for ships moving such sup
plies ns well ns for the manufacturc
of munitions.
Questions to Be Answered
No coal will bo allowed to bo ex
ported unless the Information re
quired by the War Trade Hoard
which Is authorized under its pow
ers to grunt export licenses is furn
ished.
lilt* liuiirtl ru<|Ullvn miUMin i*M/
reply to (he following questions be
fore a llceniie In granted:
No. 1. What In the 100 per cent
monthly or annual requirement!* of
the wholesale dealer or dealeni. the
manufacturing plant or plants, or
ndustry or Industries to whom the
roal or coke will be delivered ut
dcHtlnation. and give name of final
consignee or consignees If other
than numed in applicatln.
No. 2. What is the amount of
thin commodity now in stock at des
tination? (This Information must
be Riven in tons of 2,2 40 pounds,
regardless of umount.)
No. 3. Will It assist In the con
ducting of the war. either directly
or Indirectly from the allies' point
of view? If so. in what way?
No. 4. If for bunkering purposes
at destination, to what steamship
Hue will It b furnished?
No. 5. Have you now any licenses
outstanding or roal or roke In transit
for suine consignee and destination?
If so. give amount In tons.
No. 6. In the event license Is not
granted, can some other fuel be sub
stituted?
Home Uses First Considered
With the object of conserving
tonnag It is not desired that coal
should be exported from the United
State* to countries which may be
more cusily supplied by countries
associated with us In tho war.
Notice is hereby given that no
contracts for the purchase or sale
of coal during tho year 1918 can
lie relied upon for a sure supply.
All contracts for export coal are
subject, flrst. to the requirements of
the 1'nited States, and, secondly, to
such regulations as exist or may
hereafter exist governing exports.
(Signed) H. A. GARFIELD,
United States Fuel Administrator.

MANY WOMEN
IN WAR WORK
More Than Million and a Quarter
American Women in Indus
trial Defense Ranks
There arc approximately I.
11GI women In tho United States on- j
Kii- I'd in ludtiBtrlal work which Ih
cither directly or Indirectly neces
nnr> to curry on ibu wur, according
to an estimate busied on surveys made
In 1 r> states for the National League
of Women's Service by MIhh Marie
Ii. Ohcnuuer with tho Huuctlon and
assistance of the Department of
Labor.
"These million and more women,"
vriM Mi:.s Oheuaiier, "are in tho front
rank of tho Industrial army of do
feuse. They are the important wo
men of tho nation. Hands do not
play in their honor; they do not
wear picturesque uniforms; yet In
the buslnc s of winning the war it
Is as necessary to protect their work- >
i it k ' olTiclcncy as to sufcKiiard the
lighting efficiency of the men on the
flrliiK lino."
Figures Arc Conservative
Tho figures given are conservative,
Miss Ohenauer states. It Is esti
mated that the normal Increase in
the numbor of women employed In
the Industries surveyed since tho
rensiis of 1 !i 1 0 was 20 per cent.
There were approximately 3,500
women employed In the munition
factories In 1910, The number Is
now 100,000, according to Miss Ob
ennuer. 1 his again, she states, Is
a conservative estimate. She In
eludes airplanes when speaking of
munition factories.
"The thing our survey impressed
upon us," said Mist Ohenauer, "Is
that woman can not escape her
world-old Job the Job of feeding
and clothing. She ilnds this to be
her Job out side as well as In the
home If she is to be an important
factor In v 'Inning tho war."
Community Sewing Places
i "She longs to do her hit In pic
turesque fashion, hut she is needed
most for the work which she con
cuuso It ha* been her work through
aiders more or less drudgery be
tlie ages. The women employed in
the Industries necessary to the win
ning of the war (ire, ofr the most
part, weaving, sewing, and preserv
ing food."
Miss Ohenauer suggests, as a way
to help relieve tho clothing short
age In the army, the establishment
"f community sewing places under
1 government supervision.
A SLUMBEROUS AUDITOR j
"I always let you have the last
word, Henrietta," said Mr. Meekton.
"I've noticed that. Why Is It?"
"Well, what's the last word, any
how? It Isn't worth wnkliiK up for."
