Coal Supplies and Coal Prices

The fact seems to have been clear
~ established, at the recent confer
ence between members of the coal pro-
duction committee of the Council of
National Defense and the bituminous
coal operators, that there has been,
for some time at least, absolutely no
relation of coal prices to coal sup
plies in the United States. Brought
face to face with what appeared to be
be the undesirable alternate of re-
ducing prices Or submitting to virtual
Government control of the mines and
their output, the Mississippi River,
agreed to accept maximum price for
coal, on both Government and private
orders, subject to a still further re-
duction in case it should be determin-
ed, upon Federal investigation, that
their product, after the payment of
reasonable profit, could be delivered
to railroads at a lower price.
AT the time the agreement referred
to was reached, Federal judge and
jury in New York City were engaged
in the trial of number of coal mine
operators charged with having con-
spired to maintain. for coal to be de-
livered in New York, the identical
price agreed upon at the conference.
Perhaps because of the possible eff
feet of the agreement unon the out
come of the trial, the Secretary of
War promptly repudiated it, in so far
as the Government might have been
bound by its terms. The coal opera
tors, however, claim to be ready to
carry out the provisions of the agree
ment, and state that they have receiv-
ed notice that there has been no re-
pudiation of the agreement in so far
as it applies to private contracts.
There are abundant indications
that the coal operators do not feel
greatly aggrieved, although the tenta-
tive price agreement under which they
are bound is considerably lower than
the prices recently prevailing in all
sections of their territory. The alleg-
ed illegal agreement which was made
the basis of the prosecution in the
case in which the Secretary of Wa1
apparently wished to avoid preiudicine
the Governments contentious, is de.
clared to have established indentically
the sellm0 price at which the opera
tors are now required to supply Goa
to private purchasers. 1t does mo-
seem probable therefore, that opera
tors will suffer greatly because of thC
present arrangement
The chief advantage which the pub
lie should gain as a result of thu
agreement on the part of the operator
would seem to be the effective lirnina
ton of the coal spectators. AS a mat
ter of fact, the price of coal on boar,
cars at the mines has in no sense con
trolled the price of coal to retail deal
ers, or to any but larger among tn
consumers: The output of tn
mines have been bought up by spec
ulators, at prices not disclosed to re
tailers and consumers, and held in
definitely, frequently, under the pre-
text that cars for its transportatio
could not be obtained. 1t should b
possible now, with the maximum pric
of coal at the mines established, fo
the ultimate consumer to buy at tia
price, plus the cost of carriage and
reasonable profit to the retailer. TIL

Another Use for the Ford

There has been numerous uses for
the Ford car, but now comes one that
caps the climax for others.
The Bousboma Bros. who last fall
put out the wheat crop on the Case
farm have equipped Ford car with
what is known Form-a-Truck. This
is an attachment whereby the rear
wheels fastened to frame is attach
ed. A cog fits in the wheel that is
connected to the engine. A binder is
coupled behind and equipped with a
Cushman engine that runs the binder.
The driver sits in the shade, runs the
Ford and the rest of the machinery
does the work. The attachment cost
S195, just the price of a good horse.
They can run all day at the small cost
of so cents. There with be no over
heated horses, nor horses to feed, no
harness to take care of. The Ford
will run from daylight until dark,
while the horse in the heat of harvest
time can stand but very little.-Abi-
lene Chronicle.

Proteetine ON soIdiers

One of the great uses OF the sale
of Liberty Loan Bonds is the protect
ing of our soldiers IN France-pro-
tecting them by arning and equip

With proper food ana medical atten-
ton ana every thing needed TO make
them powerful and effective
This idea Of protection of our SOL
diers has been further enlarged as
Secretary McAdoo now proposes life
and disability insurance for the men
VINO go TO the front, and adequate
provision for the support and pro-
lection of their families A confer
ence was held in Washington lately
with representative insurance men of
the country and It seems that this in
surfing will have to be done by the
Government and will not be done by
private insurance organizations. Here
is another wise and just use of Gov
eminent funds that will meet with the
approval of the nation.
In a speech before the conference
Secretary McAdoo in part said:
1t is a crime for great nation 70
take a man and send him to fight fol-
his country and refuse to make ade-
| quate provision for him and those
who are dependent upon him and
leave them possible objects of the
charity or genorsity of their neigh

Eve must see to it not only thai
every American soldier Is equipped
with the best that American money,
| ingenuity and skill can provide II
order that he may fight with the ut
most effect and sell his life as dearly
/ as possible for his country, but we
must see to 1t also that every Amer
lean soldier shall go to the front with
/ the comforting and supreme salts
faction of knowing that his loved one:
will not be dependent upon charity
but they are as much entitled to com

ficing in order that he may go to tn,
front as he Is entitled TO compensa

Must co.operate with others.

In active life a man works at the
side of others. He has to consider
them as well as himself. He has to
check his fmpetuosity, curb his imperi-
BUSINESS, listen to objections and sug-
gestions- he wishes TO round
out his career successfully. He must
be content to give and take. to be in
different to cross-currents, to know
and feel at all times that however i'm
portant he may be he. is one among
others of power, of ability, of humors.

President Wilson's War Message An
notated.

The war message of President Will
son delivered before the two houses
of Congress on April 2, 1917, with an
notations giving the leading facts on
which the rupture with Germany was
developed, the issues in international
law, and contrasting the spirit of
Prussianism and Americanism, has
been published by the Committe on
Public Information in Washington.
It is a document of great value and
of great interest to Americans and
| especially to purchasers of Liberty
Loan Bonds who are financing the
Government in maintaining those
| things which this message shows to
be right and just and in fighting to
| the end against those things which
it denounces.
The message is accompanied by a
fOreword which gives the reasons for
the publication and expresses the
| hope that it may make clearer the
spirit and the facts back of the deci-
sion made by the Government and the
people of America.
The arnotations to the message are
valuable in giving fuller details of
matters and things which were only
briefly referred to in the document
itself. Facts and figures are set out
in detail and constitute illuminating
commentary on this one of the great
est public documents in the history
Of the world.
= Americanism and Prussianism are
contrasted by comparing the follow
ing expression of national ideals.

Resident Foreigners Buy Bonds
It was not American citizens alone
who subscribed TO Liberty Loan
Bonds. A great number of citizens
of other nations living here, who have
never taken out naturalization pa
pers, subscribed literally TO the
bonds. The International Nickel
Company at its Bayonne plant has
nearly two thousand foreigners in its
employ and those foreigners pur-
chased more than one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars OF Liberty Loan
Bonds.
It has been noted, too, that Amer
lean cities with large populations of
foreign birth were notably liberal IN
their subscription to the Liberty
Loan.

 MT. yBrandegee urged the passage of the pending measure and not the house bill, because by it's terms the status of officers or men on merchant ships re- sisting attack from a war vessel would be clearly established under American law and they could not be treated as pirates as they might be treated without such a law.

ZIMMERMAN FAILS
 TO REPUDIATE NOTE
(Continued from First Page.)

submarine issue, the idea of an at tack by Japan upon America was taken up by several German newspa- pers. In the days following the Ger man campaign of unrestricted sub. marine warfare prominence was given in the German press to q story oSten- sibly received from Stockholm that Japan was preparing to break away from her present alliance and attack the United States through Mexico. The, report persisted even after the receipt of declarations by the Japanese am- bassador in Washington that relations between America and Japan were ex- ceflent and that Japan's alliance to the Entente was on firm basisk That the attack would prevent the United States from participation in the war by the fear of possible complications with Japan and Mexico thus hasten ing the end of the war, was consider ed a serious proba ability by German papers and circles of more moderate opinions.
 The publication here of the text of the Zimmerman note and the conf1r- nation of its authenticity by Presi- dent Wilson is treated as a sensation of the first magnitude by the Danish press, exceeding anything of the kind that the war has so far produced. The Friday afternoon papers spread the despatches from America across their first pages under three and four col umn headlines which emphasized the view that the revelation would dispel any doubt as to the position of con- gress on President Wilson's proposal and destroy the opposition of the pacifists.

He recalled stories of American apprehensions, current be- fore the war, that Germany was try ing to establish herself in South Am erica. especially in BraxiL and calls attention to the surprising amount ap- pearing\of late in the German press as to the effect war between Germany and America might have on Japanese policies and on the specific policy of a Japanese attack on the United States through Mexico. One also notes the disappearance in recent months from the German newspapers of the formerly familiar terms of hatred and contempt toward Japan. .
