BERLIN, Oct 11 With ths approach of fall and winter, the shortage In coke that exists In Germany because of the war la being Increasingly felt The stop page of English coal Is responsible for the shortage. The supply of coke formerly was manu factured from a mixture of English and Upper BUesaln coal. Blnce the Importa tion of the former ceased there has been a vain search for a substitute from which good coke oould be made. Austrian, SUealan, Bohemian, Polish and Westfallan coal all have been trld. and the result In each ease Is the same. The resultant coke is so brittle that It breaks and virtually cannot be Meed with any degree of success because the. pieces fall through the grating. Plica has ceased to be the controlling factor In the coke problem. The city of Berlin alone baa expended an excess of soma 1,000.000 marks for coal supposed to be a substitute for the English product, as its mayor recently announced la re buking a man who had charged that the shortage was due to niggardliness on ths part of municipality. Each of the coals tried have been fine gas producers, but the residue has been unavailable for grata furnaces, and gas establishments that formerly sold coke ss well have had to leave their contracts nly partially filled. Experiment are now being made with a new kind of Westfallan coaL Hanscom Parkers ' Still Want Viaducts The Hanscom Park Improvement club last night voted against accepting a re port of a special committee to postpone indefinitely the consideration of the two viaducts at Turner boulevard and Martha street. A big delegation of property owners appeared to protest against the building of the viaducts. Former Congressman David Mercer ad dressed the club on "Municipal Govern ment In Washington." YOUTHFUL HIGHWAYMEN R03 FAR NAM CAR CREW Two youthful highwaymen held up and robbed the crew of a Farnam street car lata last night as they got oft the car at the end of their run, near River view park. The two bandits were both unmasked and apparently unmindful of their dan ger, since both street car men made sev eral attempts to get within striking dis tance. Tbsy got only a few dollars.

He hns a large round table with dosens of tr-a cups and as many long silver spoons. A delicate scale stands on the table. In order to get Just exactly the same amount of coffee for each successive test, Mr. Foster drops a nickel In the pan on one end of the scale Learn and dumps ground coffee on the : other pan until It Just balances.

Then when he has made his purchases It la his business to blend the various coffees from various parts of the world to get Just the dellcloua flavor that makes the best seller, and the most fragrant coffee.

LINCOLN, Oct li.-8pectal. Supple menting hie address at Crete, In which he opposed a great military or naval program. Governor Morehead gave out this additional statement today: "I believe we should give all proper support to the state mllltla and In train ing young men to perform military serv ice, without, however, taking them out of civil life and removing them from useful occupation I do not believe it would be a good thing for our country to build up a military class by creating a standing army of half a million man, which some of the advocates of mili tarism Insist we should have. "Our navy, In my opinion, should be powerful enough to Insure our coast de fenses . and ' prevent Invasion. Beyond that I do not believe we should go. The Interests of the American people will be best promoted by not mixing in foreign affairs, but staying in our own coun try, and differences arising In other coun tries should be settled by arbitration. We are fortunate that men who are strong for military achievements have not had control of the national govern ment during the last year. PrekMent Wilson has done the country an Ines timable service and made himself very popular by doing everything possible to avoid trouble with other countries. The thing that has made him stronger with the people than everything else is that he has kept us out of war. "If we had been prepared to the extent that some mllltartstlo newspapers and politicians advocate, we might very easily have become embroiled in the European war. Buch preparations as these men and Journals are clamoring for would require at leat il.OCO.cn In a very few years. No such expenditure ts necessary for a peaceful nation, that has no aggressive desires against other na tions. : instead of spending such vast sums upon expensive armaments, I believe the government of the United States should encourage and aid In the construction of north and south railroads to ac commodate tba commerce of the country. help develop good roads everywhere, and promote the development of water power and irrigation on a more extensive scale than in the past" HtfM Itefen Till.

Borne coffees are noted for their strength, some for mildness, some for fragrance, some for sweetness. Mr. Foster blunds these In Just the rUht proportion to give the delldoua and char acteristic flavors to the varloue brands he puts on the market. Three great gas roasters In the Pax ton ft Gallagher plant are at worlt every day roasting coffee by the proci that brings the coffee In direct conls t with the flame and bats It about with r,;nat paddles until It has reached exactly the right shade of brown.

By using coal roosters the cost would bo only about fiO a month for fuel, but the extra $f50 per month for gas consumption Is cheerfully paid In order to get tho a 1 tvantage of this special flame-roasting proceM.
