s5 Uncle SANS Ominous Role.

aside from the local conditions
which exist in Germany. says the
consul general, by far the most i'm
portant and ominous element in the
problem Is the new and enlarged role
which has been assumed by the United
Safes as source of supply Of coal and
metals. Tie first reports that Amer
lean coal had found market In France
and Italy. and had even been tested
successfully for gns-making purposes
in London. were received here with an
incredulity amounting to resentment.
While dealers and certain consumers
hailed the prospect Of q new source of
supply from beyond the Atlantic, with
delight. the general sentiment Of the
press was distinctly hostile and incred-
ulous.'''
Consul General Mason recounts the
incidents that gradually awakened
Germany to the unquestioned superior
ity OF American coal.
Superior to Native Coal.
A test OF Ohio coal on the Bavarinn
state railway proved it superior to the
best of native coal. the great trans
Atlantic German steamship lines were
found to be using the American arti-
Gle exclusively, and the big Deutsch-
land, before setting out to break the
speed record. filled up her coal bunkers
at New York.
There was no arguing against these
facts" says Mr.. Mason. "and when a
short time ago 1t Was announced that
West Virginia gas coal had been tested
at Hamburg. and found superior to the
Cardiff standard the conclusion be-
came unavoidable that only scarcity OF
tonnage and exorbitant frelghts stand
between the coal famine prices IN Ger
many and the exhaustless deposits OF
the United States"

and In jumping from windows the
others were hurt. There were many
