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.

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.

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
