The drawing Of the numbers
for the selective draft army at
Washington Friday, July 20, was
one Of the big events of modern
times. The drawing surpassed
in interest the registration or
even the declaration of war. The
HERALD is always on the job
when it comes to handling big
news. In this issue of The HERALD
will be found a list of the num-
bers just as they were drawn in
Washington. 1t is likely that all
those called at this time will come
from the first 1000 numbers
drawn.

COAL PROBLEMS OF
GERMANY GREATLY
INCREASED BY WAR

Like the iron and the potash in
dustries, the coal mining industry Of
Germany is unable to satisfy the de-
mands made upon it. The coal de-
posts of the Ruhr district are so rich
that, with an annual production
equaling that Of 1913. the coal Tying
within a depth Of 1900 feet could not
be mined in 700 years. Thus there is
no lack, of underground supplies, but
1t is impossible to bring sufficient
quantities above ground, as is likewise
the case with the other industries
mentioned. r
Moreover. owing to the war, much
larger demands are now made on the
coal mines than in normal times.
Stocks of coal at the mines, which
could not be shipped last winter for
lack of transportation facilities, have
disappeared. SO that at the present
time there are no supplies Of coal or
coke available for immediate ship
ment, and the quantities produced pass
directly into consumption.
The reduction in the output is due
to three factors-an insufficient num-

April. 1917. the Langenbrahm mine,
