A COMPLETE BLOCKADE NOW

The allies are going to cork up
the central powers with blockade
in the fullest sense of the term.
This means that contraband as
well as non-contraband will be per-
Tnitted no longer to go slap-bang in
to Germany through the Scandinav-
ian countries by the hundreds Of
millions Of dollars.
1t means that with this shift from
the experiment of the orders in
council to the American civil war
principles and practices of complete
blockade, including the doctrine of
thF Continuous voyage, the British,
French, and Italian fleets are going
to plug the neck of the Teutonic
bottle tight against everything try
ing either to get in or to get out.
1t means that in fact as we'll as in
name they are going to starve out
the enemy, exactly as here in this
country half century ago the North
Starved out the South.
In the United States it is not real
lied very generally that there has
been a deliberate policy by the Brit
ish government to let go into Ger.
many large quantities of articles not
directly essential to the Kaiser's
military forces and plans. The pur.
pose of this "leak"-an enormous
leak, toO-was to bankrupt Germany
by drawing out all her gold.
Whether because Germany is nov
regarded by the allies as bankrupt
or as good as bankrupt, or whether
because the entente powers hav,
concluded that starvation will be {
stronger and a swifter weapon thar
bankruptcy has been, the partia
blockade is to be made complete, i
is going to have a very large effec

oREATHR EXPORTS OF COAL

Figures on exports Of bituminous
coal show that this country export
ed 100000 tons in 1916 against
l.2OO, 900 tons in 1914. Moreover,
the indications are that 1916 will
show a continuance of the increase,
comparing with 1915.
This is another direct effect of
war. Frances coal mining region is
largely in German possession. The
French railways are under most ex-
traordinary pressure, and are large
importers, while industry in that
country, and also in Spain, is look
ing here for coal. Germany is now
in possession Of the most valuable
and extensive coal mining areas on
the continent, and the British mines
are unable to meet all the demands
Of that country and its allies.
It has been reported that fleet
Of fifty vessels will shortly be sent
to this country toNcarry away some
100000 tons of coal, and that this
fleet is likely to be kept pretty reg
ularly in service.
These coal exports suggest the
character Of the industrial dislOca.
tion which has resulted from wal
conditions. The fighting countries
are nowadays straining every nerve
to, keep their transportation facili.
ties operating at the, highest capac'
ity. They are buying coal, and skin
ming. their properties; precisely a.
certain speculative managements o.
railways in this country have a
times, in order to make good show
ings Of earnings, sacrificed theil
plants by suspending naintenanc'
work 50 far as possible.
After the war the European coun
tries Will need cars and rails to re
store their plants; and we shall b
selling more of these instead of th'
increased tonnages of coal.
