TWO BISMARCK EVENING TRIBUNE : WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, 1918, SPBAKERS TELL HOW COAL WILL HELP WIN WAR Northern Pacific Fuel Supervis- ors Demonstrate Principles of Conservation “OVER THE TOP ON LOAN” Goddard. Speaks; Frazier De- clares Farmers of Foreign Birth Not Unloyal Here’s a tip on serving your coun- try without sacrifice, saving money | and helping to win the war, passed out by M. F. Brown, fuel supervisor of the. Northern Pacific, to a large aud- ience in the Auditorium last night: “A stove, furnace, or heating boiler is most efficient when it completely con- sumes all the combustibles with the least amount of air. Use a.small quan- tity of coal at each firing. It results in better combustion and keeps the fire free from clinkers. It also devel- ops more heat and maintains a more uniform temperature. After adding permit the fresh charge to become ignited and burn off at t a part of the gaseous matter ‘before reducing the air supply with the damper.” Now you know why the meeting was held. Governor Frazier, M. F. ‘Brown, also a fuel supervisor of the N, P., and H.-P, Goddard were other speakers. The On to Victory orches- tra entertained with several patriotic | P musical nunibers. “Over Top on Loan” “We're over the top on the liberty loan, and still carrying on!” quoth Mr. Goddard, “There is no question about «the patriotism of our North Dakota farmers who were born in Ru and Germany. The usual amount of wheat is being seeded. Every acre of produc- tive ground will be under cultivation this year.” Governor Fraxier declar- ed. Fuel experts have found that only 650,000,000 tons of coal can be mined this year, Mr. Daly ed, in open- ing his address. The country’s usual annual coal production is 700,000,000 tons he added. “We must find a way to save the 50,000,000 tons deficit. We can do it by doing in a small way what the big factories throughout Ameri- ca_have been doing as a@ measure of efficiency and economy for many years. Black Smoke Pirate Flag “Unintelligent firing is made known to the world by black smoke—the black flag of a pirate confiscating part of a nation’s resoruces.” The speaker recommended North Dakota’s lignite. “The time will come,” he, said, “when this state will have more coal kings than wheat kings. Llignite is worth $30 a ton compared! with much of the eastern coal.” “The man who wastes a shovelful of, coal prolongs the war. On the other hand, the man who saves a shovelful of coal performs just as patriotic a service as the man who makes a cart-| ridge. And the shovelful of coal con- tains carbon, a pinch of which will| send a bullet from a gun and make it strike a mile away with the force of a foot-ton. The shovelful of coal can move the cartridge to the gun and the gun to the soldier in the trenches.” Daly Speaks ‘Mr. Daly, the other fuel supervisor, demonstrated with the aid of many and diverse vials and tubes the prin efples of coal conservation. A scien- tist. who has studied fuel problems many years, he reduced _ technical phrases to easily intelligible English, explaining the methods thru which the greatest amount of heat can be ob- tained from the smallest amount of coal. Oxygen and nitrogen and other gasses were reviewed in connection with heat by this speaker, After the scientific demonstration he explained | moving pictures of coal and conserva- tion, as they were thrown on a screen. Half Heat in Gas, “Half of the heat value of coal is in the gases,” he declared, “Unless the gas is burned it passes into the chim- ney and is wasted. Our problem is to burn the gases. Oxygen must come in contact with these gases or they can- not burn. There is plenty of oxygen in the air which the draft, with the pro- per adjustment ‘brings into the fire. Air may be allowed to come under or over the fire but air should be allow. ed to come into the fire pit only to come in contact with, 4nd burn the fuel elements of the coal. Admitting air that does. not come in contact with combustible gases or solids of the coal wastes heat. Do not allow air to come up thru a hole in the firebed or over a fire from which no gas is com- ing off.” Connecting coal conservation and the war, as.the duty of every citizen, the speaker continued: “In these things we can fight. Here at home is our battle ground. The more effective we make ourselves here the more effective will be our boys at the front. The more effective’ th boys at the front the shorter will be the war. The shorter the war the fewer empty sleeves, maimed bodies and sightless eyes will be brought home to us, and fewer unmarked grav- es will be thought of as “somewhere in France.” Increased effectiveness here at home is the easiest way to win. Let’s all get together in and shorten the war. > “Patriots in Small Things” “The work at home must be done and we at home must do it. Instead of being patriotic dreamers, who long to. accomplish something of exceptional advantage to our country let us be real patriots in the. small things, “Let us get together and improve our patriotism by thinking the same thoughts, being thrilled by the same sentiments, and inspired by. the same high ideals, proclaimed by our bait- ner, the Stars,and Stripes, which leads the world. in advocating. Liberty, Jus- tice and an Enduring Peace.” Coal. Most Important ‘With reference to the. value of coal at this critical time Mr. Daly continu- ed: “The railroads, of this country are favored with coal by our government only. because railroad transportation is of, vital importance to our national Coal. is” more important. than. ert ‘The sd)- rajlroads of, sol a nr i WITH KNOWLEDGE Secretary of War Prepared, to Cencentrate WOUNDED KHAKI Taken to Conifortable Quarters |. trneches. transported without ‘railrgads, nor could the railroads be operated with- out coal.” At intervals throughout the meet- ing waves of enthusiastic s applause swept the audience, Bad weather pre vented an extraordinary attendance, but those who were present showed they were the good Americans they were assumed to be, after braving a cold, drizzling rain to hear the lec- tures. OF NERDS BAKER I$ AT-HIS DESK Returns Washington After Long War Trip HE IS NOT OVER-OPTIMISTIC to on Work, He Admits Great Washington, D. C., April 16.—Steel- ed to the work ahead of him by per- sonak knowledge of conditions at the battle fronts in Europe, Secretary saker returned to his desk at the war department tonight from his_ trip abroad, prepared to concentrate every energy on expediating the movement of American fighting men to France. The w pcretary, it is understood, is not inclined to underestimate the peril that further German suc the pr nt terrific onslaugh the allied lines might involve. is no doubt, however, that he believes adequate measures to checkmate the German effort wfll come out of the pooling of all allied and American re- sources under command of General loch, the impressive French com- mander in chief. Makes Short Statement. Mr. Baker had ‘little to say for pub- lication, On his arrival early today at an Atlantic Port he authorized this statement: “T return with a sense of pride and confidence at the achievements of the United States and allied troops abroa that would justify many trips across the water” Whatever direct information the war secretary may have as to the plans of General Foch will be for the ear of President Wilson alone. There have been many reports that Mr. Baker went to Europe for the purpose of urging unification of all allied armies under a single command- er, He had no comment to make on this point. CLADS LONG TO “CRACK” BOCHE They are in Good Spirits’ And Still “Game.” With the American Army in France, April 16.—(By the Associated Press) —All the Americans wounded in last week's fighting northwest of Toul | have ‘been taken to comfortable quar- ters in a large exacuation hospital. They are being provided with the best treatment possible and every. et- fort is being made to relieve their pain and provide comfort and recre- ation for them. All the boys are in good spirits and anxious to get back to the front line to join their com- rades, “We are out of luck for a_ little while” said a western Massachussetts private today. “but we'll be all right and mighty glad to get another crack at the Boche for the injuries he did us.” Comradeship Strong The boys in one company are loud in praise of. one of their sergeants who held out against a superior force of the enemy, killing tour before he him- self was shot in the head.. The spirit of comradeship between the soldiers has manifested itself scores of times, many of the boys braving the dangers of shell fire and machine gun bullets in order to assi: chums who were unable to help the selves. One corporal alone in a shell hole, atacked three Germans, killing two and wounding one. Te was then hit b§ a piece of shrapnel in the leg. One of his comrades started to assist. him to the rear, But he refused the proffered asistance, saying: “Leave me alone and go ‘back and drive those Germans back to their trenches.” The companion left the corporal, but when“te returned a few minutes later he founded the wounded man propped up in a shel hole and throw- ing hand grenades into the enemy Soldiers in Minnesota Will Continue in the Rights of Voting St.\Paul, Minn., April 16—Pledging itself to the early adoption of an order providing for the extension of the franchise to Minnesota soldiers in camps and contonments in this coun- try, the state public safety commis- sion today ordered 200,000 applica- tions for ‘ballots printed for distri- bution among the voters in service. When these are filled out.and returned election judges will forward ballots to the men in camps to be marked and returned by. mail. Attorney General Clifford L. Hilton was requested by the commission to submit a tentative draft of the neces- sary order intended to legalize the new. voting machinery. Whether the {rdnchise will be extended to the men in, France. also will be determined at :) that time, ITAKELAST STEP LETTERS FOR FOE } * TO ENACT ANTI SABOTAGE BILL Conference ‘Report Adopted, by Senate Eliminates Striker’s Punishment HELPLESS LABOR LEADE North Dakota Senator Avers) Labor Leaders are Power- less; Wants Laws — | Washington, C., April 16.—The | sabotage bill, ing penalties of | thirty years imprisonment and fines of $10,000 for injuring war materials or interfering, with war industry, was made ready for the president's sign: ture late today when the senate ac- cepted a conference report eliminating provisions designed to punish strikers on war contracts. The conference report was adopted after lengthy debates, during which Senator Sherman of Illinois and Mce- Cumber of North Dakota asserted that the labor situation is getting beyond control of labor leaders, and that Con- gress should take action. Hollis Defends Labor Senator Hollis, of New Hampshire, defended the loyalty of labor, declar- ing that strikes in this country today are “inconsiderable,” and said the passage of legi tion designed to pre- vent peaceful strikes would not tend to increase labor's e He denied that labor 3 respon- sible for the delay in the air plane program, declaring that. capital was at fault. “You can’t make men work by pass- ing laws,” Senator Hollis said. “I con- curr in the opinion of President Gom- pers of the American Federation of b. Labor that if congress passes a law] preventing peaceful strikes, that law cannot be enforced.” rl Senator McCumber said that never have there been as many strikes in the history of the country as there have ‘been since the United States entered the war, although during that period labor has been beter treated and received higher wages than ever before. The North Dakota senator de- plored what he termed a. lack of cour- age by members of congress to oppos organized labor because of its poli- tical influ and said the —anti- strike provision of the bill should have been retained. COUNTRY PATENT: TO BE STOPPED Washington, D. C., April 16—New precautions to forestall the transmis- sion of information to the enemy, were taken today by President Wilson in revoking the authority given the sec- retary of the treasury to license the sending of communications to ene- mies regarding patents, copyrights and trademarks, and the authority given the federal trade commission to license citizens of the United States to apply for patents in an enemy country. Many applications for permission to seek patnets in Germany have been made to the federal trade commission. All of them were scrutinized by ex- aD cua for Coughs Colds does it.
