The Struggle for Peace.

While England is still haggling over
the proposal of Pres. Wilson that tht
belligerent nations get together AND
state the terms upon which they
would negotiate for pace. Germany
has come out and clearly stated a
proposition that a conference of dele
gates from all belligerents be held
Immediately in some neutral coun
try; and has scored another victory
over her enemies. There should be a
definite understanding between the
belligerent nations of the terms upor
which peace could be secured and the
nations at war should decide what
tho terms shall be.
The United States or no other neu-
trail country should undertake to die
tate upon what terms the war should
be closed but they can properly urge
the belligerents to get together and
discuss terms of peace. At the oon-
ference England and her allies may
stand for what they deem right and
for this reason we fail to see how
they would lose anything in a con-
ference of this nature.

Retirement of Gov. Gates

Thursday morning of this week
Charles w. Gates will perform his last
duties as governor of the State of
Vermont and will read his retiring
message before a joint session of the
legislature. Thus far no intimation
has been given the public as to the
nature of recommendations the retir-
ing governor will make, but we are
confident he will not attempt to turn
the State bottom side up, as his pre-
desessor did in his final message.
Gov. Gates has served the State
during two years of it's important his
tory when the direct primary and
workmen's compensations acts were
first put in force. The State has also
tablished a home for feeble-mindeo
and taken charge of the Vail Agricul-
tural School A new system of educa-
ton work has been installed and the
Supreme Court of the State reorgan-
lied. The state highway work has
been carried on in the same efficient
manner that it was under Mr.. Gates
direct management and that depart
ment has been kept free from politics.
These are all important accomplish
ments.
OF Gov. Gates personal work but lit
tie publicity has been given. He has
prevented a hold up on the insurance
of the State property that has saved
the State a large amount of money.
He has made the parole system of
State prisoners q real system and
brought to punishment those who VIC
lated the terms of their parole. TO
the inmates of the penal institutions
he has given a sympathetic personal
interest that has aided in improving
their conditions. To all of his eXecu-
tive duties he has given the conscien-
tious service that an earnest Christian
man alone can give. To all Of the
public functions a governor must at
tend he has brought rugged homes
ty, and stable common sense that have
done honor to the spirit Of Vermont.
We have not been advised of Mr..
Gates plans for the future, but we
know that he is retiring from his pub
lie duties with his reputation for hon.
esty, for courage, for effectiveness
and for good judgment strengthened
Inv tu-n of fait nj inn
to his native State. He has given the
State the kind Of an administration
it needed and one that will be appre-
ciated now and for years to come. He
has been fair to his opponents, has
not disappointed his friends and lays
down his executive duties with the
strong confidence of all the people Of
the little State of Vermont.

The National Board of Fire Under
writer's has completed an analysis of
the fire losses in the State of Vermont
for the year 1915, and finds that POI
percent of the fire damage for that
year (s97,326), was due to strictly
preventable causes; 46.5 percent
(s21S,22S), to partly preventa BILE
causes; and 32.7 percent ($153,2i5),
to unknown causes. Probably at least
half of the fire losses for that year
were unnecessary and if the public
could bring about their prevention it
would materially reduce the amount
of fire insurance it has to pay

HUNT EXPLAINS
COAL FAMINE IS
STILL POSSIBLE
~ HARRY o. HUNT
of The Stars Washington Bureau


OF The Stars Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON. Oct. 3o.--
Altho more coal has been
mined this year than was min
ed las. year. the coal shortage
is the most serious the nation
has ever known.
Production has NOT been
restricted by the coal operators.
This 10 contrary 10 the public
impression. but II ls true.
on October IS coal production
had exceeded by $4,000. 900 tons
the production for tho same period
last year. in the bituminous. or
soft" coal field alone
Anthracite production had been
i6 per cent greater in 1915
But
While Americas fuel demands
have reached the greatest point
known. the natural Eas fields OF
Ohio, Indiana and West Virginia
have been falling Hundreds OF
factories and thousands % homes
have turned from gas TO coal.
Also. this years late spring
wiped out millions OF tons that
ordinarily lay IN domestic bins all
summer.
Add to these cases the biggest
cause OF all 49, the tremendous IN.
crease in railroad and warindus-
try coal consumptlon-and you
have the reasons why a coal famine
looms. despite Increased prOduc
ton.
Allies Take Hold
Much coal. too. has been shipped
TO our allies. and our navy. with
every vessel In commission and
hundreds OF auxiliary vessels
added. has used more coal than
ever before.
The result IL that. altho our
bitumlnous mines have produced
more than 10000. 900 tons OF coal
TO date this year. az against 56s.'
500 900 tons at this time last year
this increase has not met the In.
crease in consumption.
