Hundreds of Orders Go Un
filled as Result of Trouble
at Illinois Mines.
NO HOPE FOR WEEK
Small Orders from Boone
County Mines Were Only
Ones Delivered Today.
Hundreds of Columbia coal orders
are going unfilled today as a result of
trouble at the Illinois mines. For
several days Columbia dealers have
realized that shortage in fuel was im
minent and today were forced to re
fuse to make any deliveries except in
a few cases where it was possible to
fill emergency orders with coal from
Boone County mines.
No hope Is held out by the local
dealers for deliveries before next
week, except for a few loads which
may be had from the mines in the
neighborhood of Columbia. According
to the dealers questioned, there has
been an increased demand for coal oil
stoves, and many townspeople have
given up hope of running furnaces
for another week. At the offices of
the Whittle and Hockaday Coal Co.,
at the Davis and Watson Co., and, at
tho Dalton Coal Company it was said
that it would be impossible to get any
coal here from the Ullonls mines for
at least a week. "We are gettinsal
HtUe from local mines," said ohVI
dealer, "but it takes all day to dig
a load of that and so it looks a bit
hopeless for the nex't week or so at
least" J
COLD SPELL BRINGS HARDSHIPS
Many Calls on Charity Organization
for Food and FueL
The present cold weather, combined
with high prices of food and coal, has
caused many persons to call on the
Charity Organizaticn Society for aid.
In almost every case, said D. E.
Major, field secretary, toddy, the calls
had been made by widows who were
earning about $5 a week and were try
ing to support from two to five chll
drenon.that amount Their great,,
need was for coal.
"It Is almost Impossible to obtain
coal at any price," said Mr. Major.
"These people who barely earn a liv
ing in the summer are unable to meet
the need for more clothing and fuel
which the cold weather demands."
"KEEP OUT OP THE BARM"
McBalne. Stock Raiser Wants Cattle
left In Peace. ,
After noting the fact that it costs
J. A. Hudson, a stock raiser at Mc-
Baine, approximately $150,000 to feed
and care for his stock, one can ap
preciate the significance of the signs
that adorn the entrance to all the feed
barns.
The placards read:
"Attention, Please! An experienced
feeder has truly said:
" 'When a steer is lying down, chew
ing his cud he is making money;
when he is up and moving around, not
eating, he is losing money.'
"Hence please do not enter this en
closure or disturb the quiet of the
cattle."
SO ALL THE GIRLS MAY KNIT
Tag Day Receipts Will Be Used
to
Buy Yarn.
Next Friday will be tag day for
knitters.
If you are tagged by one of the
University women you must forfeit a
nickel, a dime, a dollar or some other
coin, ior a tag to nuuer irom your
lapel. From 8 o'clock on girls will be
posted at various points on the
campus selling tags for the knitting
fund. "Sweaters for Sammies" is
their slogan, and yarn enough for
every girl in the University to knit
something for the soldiers is their
aim.

Liberty Day 'to Bring Bond
Issue to Minimum, Of-
"ficials Say.
AID OF ALL NEEDED
Response of Small Subscrib
ers Necessary to Reach
Maximum Quota.
By Associated Tress
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23. The Lib
erty Loan was still lagging today on
the basis of scattering unofficial esti
mates at tho Treasury Department"
Officials were hoping that the $3,000.-
000,000 minimum would be reached
by tomorrow night, when the heavy
anticipated volume of Liberty Day
sales would be at hand.
Officials announced that there was
little information at hand to lead
them to believe that the $5,000,000,000
maximum would be reached, al
though they thought the sum might
possibly bo reached by an eleventh-
hour avalanche of subscriptions.
"Conviction is felt in many quar
ters," the Treasury Department an
nounced, "that the $3,000,000,000 mark
can bo reached by tomorrow night.
Solicitors, spurred on by their failure
to make the desired gains yesterday,
the first day of the last week of the
campaign, began anew today with
confident hope of obtaining the neces
sary $500,000,000 to pass the $3,000,
000,000 mark by tomorrow at the
latest."
Liberty Day returns, the heads of
some of the district bond committees
believed, would reach $1,000,000,000.
There is every indication that It may
approximate GO per cent of this sum.
Conditions and circumstances point
more and more to the conclusion that
only by a tremendous response of the
entire nation by hundreds of thou
sands of small subscribers and many-
large ones could the total sales be
brought anywhere near the maximum
quota.

Hampered on English Coast
by Anti-Aircraft Guns

Two of Fleet Captured in
France Are Manned by
Petty Officers.
By Associated Press
WASHINGTON. Oct 23. Germany
probably lost one-half of her total
active fleet of super-Zeppelins as a
result of the raid October 20 over
England, according to official cable
grams received here. All France is
exultant over what the disDatches de
clare to be the greatest defeat ad
ministered to a German air fleet since
the beginning of the war.
Summing up the extent of the dis
aster of the German fleet, the report
says that Germany altogether has
constructed 100 super-Zeppelins of
which number sixteen were destroyed
before the war. The losses officially
reported by the Allies are: 6 in 1914,
16 in 1915, 25 in 1916, and 3 in 1917.
Thu3 a minimum of 66 Zeppelins have
been destroyed.
By Associated Press
PARIS. Oct. 23. Official examlna-,
tlon of the crews of the Zeppelins cap
tured in France on returning from
the raid over England show that the
expedition consisted of thirteen air
ships, which left singly from three
depots on the night of Octoher 19. The
raid was expected to last from twen
ty to twenty-five hours.
The raiders made for the English
coast, which was recognized by light
houses. They were hampered consid
erably by the fire of the British anti
aircraft guns and by powerful search
lights, which caused them to drop
nearly all of their bombs when sail
ing at heights of more than 16,000
feet They were also caught by a
strong northeast wind and when they
attempted to return to their bases
their course waschanged by the per
sistent high winds.
At-6 o'clocltlirlbenionimgTlnjIJiia;
the airship which fell when attacked
Into the hands of the French, dropped
to a lower altitude here in the early
morning to discern whether It was
sailing over French territory, and
wa3 brought down in Westphalia. A
little later the L-50 passed over the
L-49, which was down on the ground
surrounded by French airplanes. The
L-50 maneuvered around the spot for
a time and finally landed In a nearby
wood so as to give members of the
L-49 crew an opportunity to escape,
but one car was torn off. Part of the
crew escaped by means of para
chutes. The car was afterward de
stroyed by means of special pistols Im
the hands of members of the L-50
crew.
The L-49 and L-50 belong to the
super-Zeppelin class, measuring 650
feet Their volume is 55,000 cubic
metres. The airships are manned
chiefly by petty officers, who have un
dergone a special course of instruc
tion. They are clad warmly, in fur
and leather garments.
