FRANCE IN NEED
 0F J. 5. GOAL
tanHstment of British Miners Has Re- sHricted Output of Mines and
 They Turn to the U. $.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-Dispatches srom Paris report an alarming short age of coal in France owing to the %natput of the English mines having hseen curtailed by heavy enlistments <af the coal miners in the British army.
 French coal dealers have purchased i.rge quantities of coal in the United States but have been unable to se- casre deliveries although substantial bonuses have been offered. Freight rates to Europe, as compared with corresponding dates prior to the war, have advanced nearly one hundred Der cent but charters cannot be se- cured.
 Prior to the war France depended largely upon the mines of Belgium and Germany for her supply of coal. Following the opening of hostilities she was forced to turn to England for her fuel and that source has now fail Sd her, as thousands of the Welch miners have enlisted under Lord Derby's plan.
 Coal dealers here assert there Is no great quantity of coal in bunkers in this country. the mine operators hav- ing restricted their outputs during the past two years owing to the state of the financial market. The sudden resumption of activity among the fac tories in the eastern states combined with the fact that thousands of for eigners who formerly worked in the mines have departed for the old coun- tries to fight for their countries, it is believed, will cause sharp advance in the price of coal in this country.

A CHIP OFF THE OLD
BLOCK

The following poem written by Con-
gresham Thomas L. Reilly, of Con-
necticut, will interest readers of The
Times-Recorder, as it attests the high
esteem held by his colleagues for
Judge Crisp, congressman from this
district. Everyone loves Charlie Crisp
in the Third district and everyone likes
to know that he is as well thought Of
in other sections of the country.
Hon. ChaS X. Crisp, of Georgia
Who's presiding in committee
On the sundry civil bill?
Why, Charley Crisp, of Georgia!
He's the boy that fills the bill.
It's right easy job for Charley
To fill the Speakers chair;
He knows the rules of congress,
And he's always just and fair.
1t just runs in the family
To preside DER big debate
A perfect cinch for Charley
Like wiping off a slate!
But what's the great big reason
Round which all others flock?
Why simply he's his fathers SON
A chip of the old block.
The elder Crisp was speaker
Last in democratic line
(Until Champ Clark was seated)
And parliamentary mind.
The son imbibed the knowledge
OF rules at fathers knee;
So it's an easy job for Charley,
AS you can plainly see.
The manner of his rulings,
1t typifes his name,
And ready House accepts them,
For it knows he knows the game!
And some day he'll be the speaker
Just as sure as 10 o'clock
Comes round Inauguration day
He's chip of the old block!
BY Thomas L. Reilly, Democratic
Congressman from Connecticut.

Una uttered a terrified scream at

at her hand as a sharp pain shot
through it and warm, tricky SEN
sation accompanied it. She waver-
ed, faint and shocked, as she no

away from the house. She was

up the lacquered box and started to-

Somebody's Darling

Into a ward of the whitewashed halls,
Where the dead ard the dying lay
Wounded by bayonets. shells and balls,
Somebody's darling was borne one day.
Somebody's darling. so young and
brave,
Wearing yet on his pale, sweet face
The lingering light Of his boyhood's
grace.
Matted and damp are the curls of gold.
Kissing the snow OF that fair. young
brow.
Pale are the lips OF delicate mold.
Somebody's darling is dying now.
Back from his beautiful. blue-veined
brow
Brush all the wandering weaves of
Cross his hands on his bosom now.
Somebody's darling Is still and cold.
Kiss him once for somebody's sake,
Murmur a prayer, soft and low,
One bright curl from its fair mates
take,
They were somebody's pride. you know.
Somebody's hand has rested there,
Was IT a mothers soft and white?
Or, have the lips of a sister fair
Been baptized in the waves of light?
God knows best, he was somebody's
love,
Somebody's heart enshrined him there,
Somebody waited his name above
Night and morn, on the wings of
prayer.
Somebody's watching and waiting for
him.
Yearning to hold him again to her
heart
And there he lies, with his blue eyes
dim,
And has smiling. child-like lips apart.
Tenderly bury the fair young dead.
Pausing to drop on his grave n tear,
Carve on the wooden slab at his head.
