GENERAL WOODS PROGRAM.

We agree with Major Wood that
in any war of large proportions. vol
unteer service would not be sufficient
to provide the necessary forces, and
that drafting would eventually have
to be resorted TO. 1t has been SO in
all great wars, 1t Is evident that Eng
land will soon have resort to it, and
this country should take such steps
as are consistent with popular liberty
to lay the foundations of an
adequate national defense. At least
the majority of our citizens should
know which end of gun goes up in
a salute, and which side OF the body
a sword hangs on.

Fear Coal shortage.

New York, Aug 12.-The prospect
of coal shortage next spring has led
the Pennsylvania, Lehigh Valley and
other railroads to start storing as
much coal as possible at convenient
points along their lines. The Pennsyl-
vania has established two big storage
points near Altoona The Lehigh
Valley admits that 1t is laying aside
for contingencies as many tons as
1T can gather above ordinary needs.
Other railroads are preparing to
follow suit, although no definite steps
have been. taken. to- hoard coal yet
The occasion for all this preparation
fs because the agreements between the
miners and their employers expire
next April.
Al strike then is considered quite
probable. and some sort of suspension
of work In the mines certain.
The union of anthracite miners
meeting in Scranton a few days ago
drew up extremely severe demands for
the renewal of the coal agreement
next April. including 25 per cent in
crease in wages, an eight-hour day.
recognition of the union and other
features.
To grant the miners demands as
formulated would increase the cost of

expect to get all they have asked.
