review Of the coal situation in Europe affected by
the dicoses that whereas before the outbreak Of
hostities the allies controlled 65 per of the coal
production of Europe the AustroGean successes have
exactly reversed that condition Before the Britain
produced 23G 100000 tons, France 35,0OOO00 Belgium
100000 and Russian Poland 100000 total of $685.,
100000 tons. Germany produced 1750O00O0, Austria
tons.
But Germany has since and holds the
coal fields Of both Belgium and France and the
capture Of Russian Poland includes the coal center Of
Russia The coal output controlled by the Austro-
Germans is about three TO of the allies. So critical
has the situation become Great Britain has prohibited
the expectation Of British coal from the United Kingdom
except for the of the military forces of allies
Meantime 25 per cent Of the million miners in Britain

TO DISCUSS GAS QUESTION.

TTTE gas questionable question Of cheaper gas for
Fa.cmont-will be up again at the Chamber OF
- Commerce meeting Thursday night, and indca
tons point to very interesting meeting. The special
gas committee, which appointed time ago, will
make another report the situation and the problem
will be gone in detail and every member of the
Chamber of Commerce will have a chance to express
his views the situation
Those who favor the lower gas rate for this city say
that the high gas in this city is hurting the indus
tries Of the town seriously. They state that the lower
gas rate in cities by tends to take the indus
tries TO those towns rather than to Farmon for the
manufacturer is naturally going to the city where he
produce his goods the lowest possible expense
al! other considerations being equal.
Those who standing back of the gas company and
insisting that the present rates the lowest that
be given for Fairmont insist that nothing be done
relieve the situation and that the present rates
remain
The outcome OF the question will be anxously awaited
by the public; but it Is hardly likely that anything def
mite will be done Thursday night The gas question
is such big and is involved that it will likely
be some time before agreement is reached on the
proposition.
On the face of It, it would that little give and
take by the ancheaper gas forces and the cheaper
forces would be good thing Some adjustment of the
difficulty might be made which would prove satisfactory
to all concerned.

correspondent takes the view that a
Bulgarian declaration Of war against

Turks from Europe, and, of course,
the ending of the Dardanells campaign

his opinion is justified or not, it Is un-
doubtedly true that the allies would be

what the central empires propose to
do to keep Bulgaria neutral, and the
