CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. 1S.-The coal
famine which has been threatening
Chicago ever since the winter set in
is here. The weather, which has been
excessively cold and stormy, has be-
come more so, the temperature yes
terday having dropped to zero and a
high wind blowing in from the lake,
Already the hospitals are filled to
overlooking with sufferers from the
intense cold and the charity boards
of the city have more than they know
how to attend or care for on their
lists.
The coal dealers are united in de-
claring that the shortage which has
now reached approximately 1000 tons
of coal a day below the actual needs
of the city. is due to the lack of rail-
road cars to haul the fuel.
The city government has taken Of
fetal cognizance of the situation and
has issued a manifesto calling upon
the businessmen and manufacturers
kESthe city to reduce their expendi-
(. Prof the precious fuel as much as
poskible so that the supplies which
are reaching Chicago will meet more
needs.
The manifesto requests managers
of office buildings and apartment
houses to reduce the temperature of
these buildings from 20 to 60 and asks
that manufacturing plants cut down
expenditures as much as possible.

School Tax Amendment

A campaign for the school tax amendment, to be passed upon at the general election next November, IS being organized and will be pushed with earnestness this summer.
 The educational forces of Alabama were never so active or potential as they are now, and never has the in- telligent citizenship of the state been So sensitive to cultural influences as it is today. The Alabama Educational association has always been a center of constructive leadership, but within the last three years its activities have been marked by greater measure of enthusiasm than ever before and its achievements have been all the more beneficent.
 This association, joined with other organizations, is striving nightly to remove illiteracy from Alabama. The public school system has been well directed, but in the rural districts school facilities have been inadequate simply because of the lack of funds and that fact has accounted chiefly for the prevalence of illiteracy.
 The proposed amendment to the constitution, which the legislature submits to the people, authorizes each school district to vote tax levy for school purposes. It is most reason able proposition and should be carried by an overwhelming majority; but the only way it's adoption can be assured is for every one who realizes the harm that illiteracy does Alabama to work for the amendment.

Gerard's Alleged Interview

No matter what might be thought of Ambassador James W. Gerard as diplomat his delicate and responsi- ble duties near the German imperial court have been performed with great deal of tact.
 No American ambassador has had experiences quite so trying, perhaps, as MT. Gerard, and there is nothing to indicate that the state department at Washington ever had occasion to find fault with him. Indeed, it was due largely to his diplomatic skill that Germany responded as it did to Presi- dent Wilson's "ultimatum" note, thereby averting a breach of friendly relations with the United States. In view, therefore, of MT. Gerard's good record it was not conceivable that he could have been guilty of an indls- cretion such as his alleged comments on President Wilson's permanent peace remarks.
 The ambassadors purported inter- view was widely circulated, and "fol- low up" interviews, indicating that negotiations for ending the war were about to begin, were cabled to this country. A Berlin statesman had an object in circulating peace rumors, through the medium of the American embassy, and that, it seems, was at the bottom of it.
 Secretary Lansing presumably sus- pected that the alleged interview was spurious, but in order to be able to publish an official denial he cabled MT. Gerard for statement. The am- bassador replied as promptly as pos sible repudiating the expressions at tributed to him. The incident" is now closed. Some ambassadors may talk too much, but Gerard is not one of them.

DEADLIEST NAVAL WEAPON

From the New York American.
 As fuller details of the great sea battle
 come to hand, we are more and more convinced of the superiority of the type
 writer as a naval weapon over dread
 naughts and battle cruisers.
 The first phase of the battle off the
 Danish coast began on Wednesday, and
 was fleet action between battle cruis-
 CTS and destroyers and submarines. The second phase was an all-night bat tie, consisting of individual fighting be- tween dreadnaughts, cruisers, destroyers and submarines.
 At the conclusion of this second pha SC on Thursday morning the British admir- alty announced the defeat of the British fleet.
 At this stage the third phase of the
 battle began with a mobilization of the
 whole available London correspondents
 auxiliary naval reserve, and after 72 hours of. heroic action the defeat of
 Thursday was converted into the glori-
 ous victory of Sunday
 The empire certainly owes an immense debt of gratitude to the dauntless heroes of the press, both in London and in New York, who have again restored the pres- tige of the British navy by thus winning the most unique victory which history has yet recorded
 We can recall nothing in the annuals of naval warfare to equal the superb | gallantry and skill with which the jour- nalistic auxiliary naval reserve has de-
 moished ship after ship of the Teutonic | enemy during the past four days and the astonishing success with which it has converted depressing defeat into a glorious triumph without the loss of even 1 so much as an ink pad.
 1 The only thing which invites criticism | is the undue moderation of the conquer | ing heroes of the typewriter squadron in
 not demolishing the whole enemy fleet
 while they were about it and so ending the war in one magnificent buzz of glory

Couldn't Enjoy the Funeral

It is well known fact that City Engi- neer Julian KendricS would rather go on a fishing trip than do great many other things, and it was with keen disappoint- ment last week that he was forced to abandon the thoughts of going to Lake Purdy with a jolly company composed of Mayor-C Commissioner George B. Ward, Clarence B. Lloyd, secretary of the city commission, and Leroy Jacobs, a news paper man. Due to the death of rela- tive, Mir Kendrick was unable to go along and see the little fishes nibble.
 On the return of the fishing party, or
 a day or two later, City Engineer Ken
 drick happened along in Commissioner Wards office when the conversation turned on the good time the crowd had
 enjoyed at Lake Purdy. Regret was also
 expressed that Mr. Kendrick had been un-
 abled to enjoy the party.
 q knew you fellows were having a
 good time," snapped MT. Kendrick. 'l
 knew it all through the funeral and ]
 couldn't enjoy it bit thinking of you

BERLIN AND ITS BAB1E.
From the New York Globe.

From the New York Globe.
 Whatever the result of other engage ments of the war, it must be plain to the most impartial observer that Sam Mcclure has demolished the trenches of pr. Von Mach and then charged and captured all his machine guns and gas machines. The "baby issue" of Won Mach, who has pictured himself as the most neutral of neutrals, will need low visibility to venture out of port again.
 The babies of Berlin are not in a bad way because of the blockade of the wicked allies Their chance of living is better than before the war. It is not necessary for this country to send con densed milk. During 1915 the number of babies dying in Berlin was less in every month except one than in 1914, and less than every month except one in 1913. The decrease is greater than the decrease in the number of babies. Before the war German efficiency had not been aroused to baby saving. The infant mortality rate was one that other cities would con- slider murderous. New precautions have brought the rate nearer to normal.
 The figures quoted by MT. Mcclure show that Dr. Won Mach. in the way of trying to make sentiment for Germany, has resorted to the cheapest sort of mis- representation. He has been trying to attract American sympathy by parading a fraud.

GUARDING CANADIAN FRONTIER

From the Electric Railway Journal
 The dominion military authorities have ordered the construction of barbed wire entanglements in the Victoria National park at Niagara Falls, Ont, in the vii cinity of the power houses. Between Niagara Falls, Ont, and the Dufferin Islands and Chippewa, Ont, cars on the Park & River division of the Interna- tional railway will be escorted under armed guard A machine gun has been mounted near the approach to the lower steel arch bridge under the command of the Ninety-eighth Royal battalion. and barricades of sandbags have been thrown up around the tracks of the Interna- tional railway between Bridge Street sta tion and the Whirlpool stopover. Fear of attempts by German sympathizers to cripple Canadian power plants and trans portation facilities at Niagara Falls, Ont, is given as the reason for the pEecau- tions Armed soldiers, members of the next overseas contingent from Toronto and Hamilton, Ont, in the Niagara Falls ride on all cars from Chippewa on the upper river to Queenstown. The military restrictions and censorship have pre- vented the taking of any pictures of the barbed-wire entanglements, machine guns. soldiers. etc., in action along the Canadian frontier guarding the railway property and power houses.

Japanese Naval Strength

The American Peace society mas riven out an article written by K. K Kawakami, Japanese writer, author of "American-Japanese Relations and "Asia at the Door," in which he ridicules the idea of the Japanese navy being a menace to the Pacific coast or the United States and presents some interesting figures designed to show the relative strength of the navies ot the United States and Japan.
 MT. Kawakami declares that the Mikados navy is only about one-thlro as strong as that of this country. The Japanese fleet, he writes, is at pres ent composed of six dreadnaughts, ln- cluding two under construction; four battle cruisers, three battleships ot the pre-dreadnaught type, four cruls- CTS. fifty destroyers and seventeen submarines. Its total tonnage IS 5oo,- As4 On the other hand, the American navy consists of nineteen dread- naughts, included two under construc- lion: twenty-three battleships of the pre-dreadnaught type, ten crulsers' sixty-three destroyers, fifty-one sub marines and twenty-two colliers. The total tonnage is 1,271,117.
 The writer also points out that American dreadnaughts have larger number of powerful guns than similar vessels in the Japanese navy and most of the Japanese destroyers, unlike the American destroyers, are not seagolng tvnes. Of these vessels the United States has an aggregate tonnage of 73.097 against 36,11S tons for Japan
 While MT. Kawakami is presumed to be writing in good faith, 1t IS obvi- ously impossible for an outsider, even though Japanese, to state accurately the present strength of the Mlkado s navy. Even in peace times, there might be considerable variation Tn the figures and it is reasonable to sup nose that Japan has added consldera- blv to her fleet since the war began. The Japanese navy may not in itself constitute peril, but the foes of pre- paredness calmly ignore the posslblll- tv of coalition between Japan and some European country not friendly toward the United States, in which case Japan's naval force would have to he reckoned with in the Pacific.
