SCHOOL CHILDREN
GATHER PAPER
FOR PLAYGROUND

Washington. Nov. 4. - Children of
the public schools of the District Of
Columbia, after a few days campaign,
which is to continue indefinitely, have
collected approximately twenty-seven
tons OF old newspapers and magazines
which sold for $317 and the money
has been placed in a fund for tho
equipment Of Fairgrounds and other
social activities. The plan of collect
ing the old papers was suggested by
The Evening Star which pointed out
that it would serve a double purpose,
assisting the children to obtain bet
ter Fairgrounds and help the paper
trade in the present shortage. The
plan was approved by the education
authorities and has been taken up
enthusiastically by the school chill
dren.
During the first five days, 54,s2s
pounds Of old newspapers ad maya
zines were taken to the school build
ings by the children. The last day of
the week totalled 22,119 pounds, one
school contributing 3,923 pounds. The
papers were sold at the rate of 90
cents per hundred pounds for the
newspapers and 81 per hundred pounds
for magazines. The individual schools
will receive the greater proportion of
the money received from their
contributions and part of the sum goes
into general fund.

somewhat pessimistic as to the future.
The advance in the price of soft coal
| has gone into effect but so far there
has been no increase in hard coal on
the local markets though quotation of
q 75-cent raise has been received
| from the head of the lakes.
Diminishing car supply, large de-
| mands from manufacturing concerns
and a decrease in the amount of coal
mined this year are given as the rea-
and they are wondering what the
future will bring forth.
Pocahontas has advanced from SO

Youghiogheny and Hooking Valley
have gone from $7.75 to 1926 this

Increase in the cost of coal Is re-

1t is reported that a most peculiar
condition exists in the northwest

ments of grain to the head of the
lakes. which has not provided trans
portation back to points in North Da-
kota and western Minnesota. One
railroad is said to be shipping coal
for it's own use from Duluth to west
ern states, owing to the closing of the
mines in those localities.
Another factor is said to be an en-
barge which one southern road has
placed on shipping coal in its cars
west. It demands that a car be re-
turned for each car sent west of Chi
| cago. European demands are also said
to be the cause Of tying up of west
ern rolling stock in eastern terminals
One of the dealers said today that
he had no idea of what could be ex-
pected in the way of coal prices
Fluctuations are bound to come and
we cannot tell what the price will be
tomorrow. Some dealers believe that
there will be improved conditions aft
er the first of the year which will
materially lessen the burden.

Politicians Are Playing
With Dynamite

(By w. G. Shepherd, United Press
European War Correspondent.)
I have been on every front in Europe
and in every capital except Petrograd.
On the fronts 1 have seen the horrors
of war. And in the capitals have seen
the efforts of the various fighting ma
tions to draw the United States into
war.
In war, thinking men become un-
thinking beasts. Men of business, sci
ence and achievement stop their work
and become mere physical units in the
army. Youths drop their life dreams
and their futures. Ambition crumbles.
Home and family plans are swept
aside. Progress, whose figure we carve
in marble to decorate our proud build
ings, becomes a withered, paralyZed
wreck. The blight of hate reaches into
the innermost corner of every city, of
every home, Of every heart. Worse
things than death fall to the lot of
millions of human beings in war, in
cluding mental and moral decay.
Into the situation which would pro-
all the nations Of Europe endeavor to
drag the United States.
Watch Europe Try to Tansle Us
From those distant war capitals
have watched Washington and the
American government extricate the
United States from one plot after an
other, from one diabolical machination
after another.
Sometimes we in Europe, who were
seeing the European side of the pic
ture-the efforts of the allies to draw
us into war with Germany; the efforts
of the Germans to draw us into war
with the allies-held our breaths. There
were times when it seems that war
would be the only way out.
have seen Germans rejoicing at the
prospect of the United States quarrel
with the allies: have seen the allies
wild with delight over the chance that
the United States would go to war
with Germany over the Lusitania OIL
some other incident.
Thrilled Us That This Was Our
Country!
| But always sane. sound, steady, the
United States came through. 1t was

We were proud of American sanity

And to come home now to the Unit
ed States and witness the attempt to
thrust from the guidance of American
affairs the government which had led
the United States through this maze
or diplomacy and machination is, to
one who has witnessed affairs from the =.

| 1t is like playing with dynamite.
There Is no politics in European ma
! tlons today. Governments are being
held in their places by coalitions.
I]NAAoiiS tiIS lnlS also Is
Holland has no politics, and 1t Is safe;
Switzerland has no politics and it is
safe. Greece DID have politics, and
BEHOLD GREECE today.
With all the European people doing
all they can, even to abandoning cleo
tions, in order to keep their govern
ments intact and unchanged, there are
persons in the United States, who out
OF sheer politics., and by discussion of
such petty matters as the removal of
a minor government official, seek to
overthrow the government. Certainly
the steadiness of our government is as
important to us as the steadiness or
lnelr government is to Germans or
Brlushers; our danger is as great if
not so imminent and apparent as
theirs. The certain grasp of our pres
tent government on war affairs is as
important to us as the grasp of Won
Bethmann-Hollweg or Asquith is to-
Germany or England.
Trying to Upset Our Own Government.
DO you know why Zeppelins fly over
London? 1t is not to destroy arsenals,
or kill soldiers. 1t is to disgust the
BRITISH people with their government
and to provoke them to upset it on the
ground that 1t is not protecting them.
Men are lighting in Europe now to
upset enemy government, and thereby
weaken their opponents.
In the United States some of us are
trying to upset our own government
at time when the war crisis de-
mands stability and continuance OF
the government.
! Most nations, in this crisis. have
abolished elections. This was not
necessary in the United States, nor
would it have been possible. But this
looming election ought to be a mere;
formality. The vote ought to mean
