In effect the Bay islanders have been
made outlanders in their own coun-
try. They stood 1t pretty quietly fc-

COAL FAMINE
In France Affords q Market for Amsri.

The coal famine imminent in France
affords an opportunity for American
coal of all grades in these markets.
The coal famine that has existed in
France and large part of Europe dur
ing the present winter and the conse-
quent high price of all kinds OF fuel
have called very general attention to
the coal supply of the world. The sit
uation Is supposed to be due to the
war in the Transvaal and the strikes
in the French coal districts. II could
also be attributed to the unexampled
activity in the channels of manufac-
ture, which one and all rest upon coal
steadily increasing their consumption
for the last decade. The governments
of several European nations have been
asked to take prompt action in the di-
rection of protecting their mines. The
annual coal output of France is about
two-thirds of the consumption. The
railroads In France consume annually
about 100000 tons; the metallurgical
establishments. 100000 tons; the
mining industry. 100000 tons-over
half the output. 1t is asserted, but not
authoritatiyely, that France can great
ly augment her output of coal. The
more general opinion is that the coun-
try will have to look for her coal sup
ply to the United States and other
lands. where there are rich mines yet
untouched.

OUR SOLDIERS LOOK ALIKE.
FAIR Haired Saxon Type Prevails In the
Army.


The Saxon type prevails throughout
our active fighting forces; at least. it
so appears to the mere eye-observer.
whatever the records may show. A
newspaper correspondent. now in Bos-
ton. called my attention to this at San
Fernando, in the interior of Luzon. and
had myself noticed and spoken of it.
Everywhere the pale blue or gray eye,
everywhere the fair skin, everywhere
the tawny hair and beard. In Cebu,
phenomenon, writes Senator Bever-
idge. In many instances the boards
have been allowed to grow. and OBJ
servances were startlingly struck with
the resemblance which these fierce
looking bearded men-boys in years
bore to the old pictures in our primary
school histories of twenty-five years
ago, and Of the descriptions which ac-
companied them. The Saxon type is as
conspicuous in the Philippines as the
flag itself. OF course, the dark hair
and eye are there, too. Three of the
most daring and enduring soldiers I
met were of that type, but the general
impression is distinctly fairness IN
to mind the homogeneity of the people
of the republic. One might well expect
the same type in the men from the
Dakotas, Nebraska and Kansas; but
he who has not followed chronological
currents in America would have ex-
pected that the southern troops would
have been quite a different type. And
yet, in the Tennessee troops in Iloilo
was found precisely the same type as
in the Dakota troops at San Fernando.
You might have said that they all
came from the same section. the same
state, the same county. almost the
same family. 1t was an inspiring
thought; the American people are in
deed one people. The boys from Ten
nessee look like the brothers of the
boys from Nebraska or Montana. The
boys from Oregon and Washington
look like the brothers of the boys from
Pennsylvania, The boys from Cali,
fornia look like the brothers OF the
boys from Minnesota. And brothers
they are-brothers of the blood, broth
ers Of the flag. brothers of battle.
brothers Of destiny. How mad must
be the man who dares believe that by
any temporary emergency these broth
ers can ever be divided against them
