G0VERNTIENT MAY TAKE OVER COAL MINES SOON Government Operation Daring Period of War Looms Up as a Possibility. Chicago, May 24. Peace in the American coal fields was pledged for both miners and operators at the tenth annual convention of the in ternational railway fuel association, I which closed here todav. Eugene McAuliffe, manager of the fuel con-I servation section of the United ! States fuel association, which closed here today, may become necessary for the government to take over the coal mines for the period of the war. P. B. Noyes, director of the conserva tion division of the fuel administra tion, declared it will be impossible for the railways to haul the 200,000.000 extra tons of coal that will be need ed along with their war traffic bur den, and he emphasized the fact that coal users must save coal to prevent a serious stoppage of industry. John P. White, labor adviser to the federal fuel administrator and former president of the united mine workers of America, was applauded when he told the audience of about 1,200 operators, miners and railroad men that the 700,000 American coal miners are eager to work every day, including Sundays and holidays, to keep business going and win the war. Harry N. Taylor, vice president of the Central Coa and Coke company of Kansas City, was similarly ap plauded when he agreed with White that it will not be due to a wage war if there Is a coal shortage next winter.

ABLY ALL VICTIMS OF AN EXPLOSION, IS FEAR STEAMER BOUND FOR CORK Torpedoed and 37 Members of the Crew Supposed to Have Been Lost, Admiralty Reports. London, May 24. The British ramed merchant troop ship, Mol davia, with American troops on board, has been torpedoed and sunk ccording to an official bulletin is sued by the admiralty this evening. Fifty-six American troops on the Moldavia have been unaccounted for says the ohicial statement. The Moldavia was of 9,500 tons' ross and owned by the Peninsular j wvw, .J K i-l I IX AIM lUUWIl V Will pany. It was built at Greencock in 1903 and was 520 feet long. Crew Saved. The text of the admiralty state ment follows: "The, armed mercantile cruiser. Moldavia, was torpedoed and sunk yesterday morning. There were no casualties among the crew, but of the American troops on board 50 up to the present have not been accounted for. It is feared thev were killed in one mmnnrt- ment by the explosion. Ho Panic Shown The Moldavia was torpedoed with out warning. It was a moonlight night and although a good lookout was kept the attacking submarine- was not sighted before the torpedo struck. Most, of the men aboard were in their hammocks when the explosion occurred amidships. The sailors and soldiers alike showed no panic. They fell calmly into line and awaited orders. When it was seen that the Moldavia was settling down all on board were taken off by the escorting ships. . The men lost all their belongings but were supplied with new cloth- jn Q jie different naval ports where they were taken. Probably Crowned Eelow Becks. It is believed that the American soldiers missing from the Moldavia were sleeping on the bottom deck main deck. It is also presumed that some of the ladders were destroyed. The vessel was struck below the bridge. It steamed ahead for some time after being struck and at first it was hoped , that the water tight compartments would enable it to reach shore. Nq Details Recdved . oi71vin r tne uritisn armeu mercnani cruis- er, Moldavia, with a probable loss of 50 American soldiers was an nounced in a cablegram tonight from the British admiralty to the War department. No details were given but the understanding here s that tho ship was moving be tween England and France. At a late hour the department had no further information to indicate what American units were on board the vessel Many men are in train- ling in England and it is possible that the Moldavia was carrying a contingent bound for the front. The Moldavia is the third trans port carrying American troops to be torpedoed and the fifteenth 'troop ship sunk by the Germans. Of the vessels carrying Americans the An tilles was the first to meet with de struction by a U-boat. It was sunk October 17, last, when returning to this country from Europe, and 70 lives were lost. The second was the Tuscania, which was sent to the bottom off the north of Ireland on February 5, with a loss of life to talling 101. '1 The only other serious attack that was made on American transports, occurred last June when vessels carrying some of the expeditionary units under a convoy commanded by Rear Admiral Gleaves, narrowly es caped disaster in the mid-Atlantic. That German submarines are op erating off the south coast of Ire land is evidenced "by the sinking of the steamer Inniscarra of Cork, with loss of life. Earl Carhart and. wife who have been in Omaha for some days past since their marriage came to Platts mouth for a short visit with the par ents of Mrs. Carhart, Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Olson. . . Government tak esjOtver In order that our soldier boys shall have good warm clothing this winter the gov ernment has found it neces sary to commandeer the entire loomage of the country for the months of May, June and July. Such a thing has never been done or heard of before, but since it is necessary we are glad Uncle Sam had the nerve to do it. Now the thing for us to do is adapt ourselves to the situation and make the best of it. With a woolen famine in sight the most sensible thing a man can do today is provide himself with such clothes as he is sure he will need while they are to be had. Buy them here or elsewhere, but buy them some where soon. C. E. Wescott's Sons EVERYBODY'S STORE." THIS WOMAN HAD TO BE LIFTED FROM TRAIN TO CARRIAGE 'I NEVER SAW OR HEARP OF ANYTHING TO EQUAL TANLAC," SAYS SON GAINS 15 POUNDS AND CAN NOW WALK TWO MILES WITHOUT TIRING "When my mother, who is sixty- four years old. came to my iioine 'thirty days ago, she was so weak I had to carry her in my arms from the train to the carriage, but she can now walk two miles without getting tired and this Tanlac has been worth all of one hundred dol lars a bottle to her," was the remark able statement made by A. L. Mc- Father, a well known farmer living on R. F. D., No. 4, Mount Calm. Texas, while in the Old Corner Drug Store at Waco, a few days ago "For more than fourteen years," he continued, "Mother suffered from stomach trouble, and during all that time she hod to live on the very lightest things she could get. She couldn't even drink sweet milk or eat meat of any kind, and the flimsy things she did eat often caused her terrible suffering. She was badly constipated and was all the time tak ing something for that trouble. She was tired all the time, the least exer cise would wear her completely out, and all during the day ske had to lay down and rest. She suffered agony with pains in her sides and was so nrrvous and miserable she could hardly sleep, at all. She took all kinds of medicines for years but she kept losing weight and getting worse all the time. "I was alarmed about her when I met her at the train and found her so feeble. I had read and heard so much about Tanlac I decided for her to try it and the day she took her first dose she weighed only ninety six pounds and was almost as weak as a kitten. Well, Tanlac has simply made a new woman of her. She now weighs one hundred and eleven pounds and lias actually gained fif teen pounds in the last thirty days. Some folks may doubt it, but it's the plain truth, she can walk two miles without getting tired. I have never seen or heard of anything to equal Tanlac. Mother can eat any thin gshe wants no wand as much as she pleases without the least trouble afterwards and she sleeps as sound as a healthy baby every night. She is not the least bit constipated now and her nerves are as calm as a lamb. The pains have entirely left her sides and her strength and vitality is remarkable. Tanlac has restored her health in every way and I want everybody to know what it is that has relieved her of all those years of suffering and made a well woman of her." Tanlac is sold in Plattsmouth by F. C.Fricke & Co., in Alvo by Alvo Drug Co., in Avoca by O. E. Copes, in South Bend by E. Sturzenegger, in Greenwood by E. F. Smith and in Weeping Water by Meier Drug Co., and in Elmwood by L. A. Tyson. C'OPV OF OTICK TO CHKniTOHS The State of Nebraska, Cass coun ty, ss: In the County Court.
