England Having Lot OF Fun
And She Isn't on Her Knees

Food prices are very high. But in
some cases, actually not SO high as
they were before the U-boat warfare
began. People with very small in
comes complain bitterly about the
food cost. But the high prices do
not indicate foodshortage somuch as
unsatisfactory distribution. Sugar is
scarce. The best hotels are as mig
gardly with tiny Jumps Of 1t as II
they were Jumps Of radlum.
All over London posters are stuck
up reading, Eat Less Bread" There
are supposed to be three words on the
poster which is an admonition, but
the first two are SO run together as
to describe perfectly the article OF
baked goods now served in homes
and restaurants.
And there the visible effect Of six
months of undesea ruthlessness
ends.
But the Germans are boasting Of
the overpowerlng dread their U-boats
are bringing to England. They tell
OF the breaking morale of the British
people, the fear and depression and
gloom which they say the menace
OF the U-boats is spreading through
out the populace.
Hyde Park on Saturdays and Sun
days is jammed with care-free
throngs. Tea tables on the lawn are
at premium. A band is playing
TOmmies and their sweethearts are
lying about on the grass, watching a
war plane buzzing in practice over
head. The lakes are black with boat
ing parties. And nobody is talking or
worrying about the war!
The whole stretch of the Thames
for many miles above London, is alive
with holiday makers every weekend
The banks are busting with saunter'
ew, The river itself is crowded with
mOtorboats and canoes.
The suburban stations are busting
with family parties every Saturday
and Sunday, bound for the country
with lunch baskets and fishing tackle,
1t is a stirring contrast to see these
CHEEKY parties mingle on the station
platform with crowds of burdened
men in khaki bound out to the front,
The work of war goes grimly on,
but pleasure as usual" seems to be
England's motto in SO far as pleasure
seeking doesn't Interfere with her
war work.
The U-boat campaign seems to have
been a tonic for England. People
seem to feel, well, If that's the
worst the Huns can do, we've got
EN-" Britain, after six months OF
U-boat warfare, knows the war will
last another year, but knows also the
Germans have played their last card
and 1t isn't trump.

COAL CAR SUPPLY !
GOOD DURING JULY
Prospect is That This Much
to be Desired Condition
Will Continue.

DIR. Lawson, secretary Of the cen
trail West Virginia Coal Operators" A.
ISOLATION, reports that the car supply
during the month Of July has been bet
ter than at any time since early Last
fall. He not only reports that 1t hal
been exceedingly good during the last
month but from all appearance It viii
continue to remain that way.
During the first fifteen days OF July
1t looked as II July would be a record
breaker as regarding car supply. About
the fifteen the car supply weakened
and was just a little below normal ScI
several days. During the latter part
Of the month, it again reached its mon
NAL condition and remained good until
the end Of the month.
The car supply Is very poor TO-DAY
for the first day In new month, bul
Mr.. Lawson states that he has lttla
doubt but that 1t will soon return to tta
normal condition and that August VII
be Just as good a month as July.
