HOW about the coal business?

How about the coal business?
 This question is probably asked now among business men oftener than any other, because of the apparent tendency of the coal trade to lag behind others
 Walter Moore says the winter has been the trade too seriously.
 C. H. Nesbitt, state mine inspector, saves the production is nearly normal, but of course markets are restricted.
 Leo K. Steiner says many miners are employed as ever, production and wages are virtually normal, so that the eoprator Is really the only man sui fering, because he can't sell as much as he would like to sell.
 But this has nothing to do with slowness In recovery from general busi- ness depression" said MT. Steiner. be cause the miners have much money as ever while the operators are com paratively few in number"
 My report will not be ready for few days yet" said Mir. Nesbitt. but it looks now like it will show coal production of something over l5.o00,0oO tons for 1915"
 MANY REASONS GIVEN
 That the coal trade is quiet no busi- ness man denies, but talks with vari- ous operators yesterday brought out a number of reasons for it and prac- tically all of them saw silver lining in what they have been looking upon as dark cloud.
 Conservative estimates are that the coming of the Alabama Power company with waterpower electricity has already decreased the coal consumption in the immediate Birmingham district 1,0oe,- 900 tons a year.
 The winter has been exceptionally mild so that the sales of domestic coal have been very much below normal. though one company said yesterday it has already sold 60 per cent of its domestic coal output for the present year.
 People have been more economical with coal and no big quantities have been laid in in advance. Thousands of consumers during the past winter have bought their coal one or two tons at time.
 The entrance of some of the big fur mace companies into the steam coal market has also had its effect on the sales of the smaller concerns. Last summer before the iron market began it's climb some of the furnace com panies went out and made large coal contracts in order to keep their min ing organizations together. The total

The Flash for Help.

Jules Legar was in anything but
an ama BILE frame of mind. Things
had been going far from well with
him of late. and twice within a week
his carefully laid plots had proved
nothing more than Hash in the pan.
And to add to his humiliation. he had
been compelled to take TO cover. to
hide away in a suburban hotel like a
village stamp thief with county
sheriff on his trail.
So when Williamsburg Sadie was
quietly ushered into room 307 Of the
Belleaire Inn that disgruntled Napo-
leon of the underworld greeted his
visitor with a malignant scowl, which
she promptly and openly resented.
You don't seem exactly crazy to
see me- she announced as she
watched Legar lock the door through
which she had just entered. His
right arm, she noticed. was carried
in a voluminous white cotton sling.

less-eyed young woman confronting
him. II ducked before they got wise
and ratified UP here in taxi before
they even woke up. You needn't kick.
Then, for the love of heaven. wonn-
an, don't holler so the whole house will
hear you. Speak quietly"
A one-sided smile played about tho
hardened face of that worldIy-wise
young woman.
Il guess you're kind o losin' your
nerve," she contemptuously an
nounced.
Listen to me, my girl. I've been at
this game longer than you have, and
I've learned there are times when
even walls have ears!"
The woman laughed.
Then you'd better get ear-muffs on
that window sill, for I've got a bunch

Her voice died away at the same mo-
r1ent that the smile vanished from her
face.
Don't turn around" she said In a
sudden startled whisper as she looked
down at her feet. For there's a mans
face starin' at that window nowl"
Legar remained motioniess.
What face" he quietly asked.
Its the man in the Laughing
Mask" was the whispered response.
Legar continued to stare at her. still
motionless.
That means he came up by the fire

that means Red Egan must surely
have seen him"
What do you want me to do?'
asked the woman.
Keep on talking as though you'd
seen nothing. Then cross to that
closet door and open it,"
The girl began to cross the room.
But a sudden call from Legar ar
rested the movement. TITS all
right was the latter's exultant cry.
'Red Egan's got him.

arm In sling had thrown the band

On that narrow ledge OF sheet
metal, wedged in between the win
dow sash and the escape railing, a
terrific combat was already taking
place. 1t was combat that shook
the iron brackets in that sheer wall
of brick. 1t was a close-quarter en-
counter that sent a clenched fist
crashing through the glass In the
window itself, that brought gases
and grunts and snarls from the en-
battled figures wedged so intimately
together. Even before Legar could
get the window open the Laughing

q second sentry OF Legar's was
swarming up that narrow metal
stairway. and all the attention of the
man in the mask had to be directed
toward his new adversary.
1t was while countering the on

the Laughing Mask became conscious
OF still another point of attack. For
as he fought there. on his knees,

WAR COSTS FRANCE S15,OO0yOOO,OOO
 TILL END OF 1916

PARIS, Correspondence of The As | sociated Press )-"France wii have spent or incurred obligations to the sno,tat of 64 billion francs at the end l of this year, including all disburse- | ;uents for carrying on the war and for all usual government expenses since August l, 1914" says Jules Sieg- fried, deputy for Havre, former Minis 1 ter of Commerce and intimate politi- cal and personal friend of Premier Briand
 That total" he adds. includes all appropriations made to meet antici- pated obligations of every sort to the end of 1916. At that date France will have raised in cash 54 billion francs n round numbers, exclusive Of the pro ceeds of the second war loan.
 Twelve billion frances will. then. be the debit balance the government must meet at the beginning of the new year. figured arbitrarily on the basis of the appropriations; it must be remembered. however, that money appropriated is not necessarily money spent, and the actual balance may be considerably less.
 "A notable fact concerning our fl nancial situation" said M. Siegfried. lis that it is known to a mathematical certainty, which is not the case with the central empires
 M Siegfried is not at all concerned as to how France is going to meet the balance or future charges that she may incur in the war. The general suppositiOp is that the second war loan will clean everything up and per init the country to start the year 1917 with a clear balance sheet, and this seems to be his opinion. It is the economic situation that the war ex- penditures will have created after the war that he is mostly occupied with.
 Tt is essential that France be pro- vided with new economic organiza- tions capable of giving greater actiyi- bF lO hdlAOLlii ctiCi SlCSs nC says anu those organizations must be supported by the state"
 M. Siegfried proposes the creation of a stock company with an initial capital of 1OO,OOO,OOO francs to begin Immediately after the cessation of hostilities the development Of indus tries such as the country will need the most; in other words to continue after the war, under the auspices of the government, just what the gov ern- ment has been doing during the war as far as the circumstances have per mitted
 Chemical works, leather msnuiac- tories and toy factories come next in order.
