NATION AND ALLIES SURE
OF AMPLE COAL SUPPLY
Fuel, Just as Food, Is Vital Need,
and Statistics Show That
Records Are Broken.

Not only food, but fuel, IL vital need
of this country and Of our allies-coal
to run the ships and railroads, to feed
the iron furnaces and furnish steam
for all the manufacturing plants. coal
In greater quantities than have ever
before been mined In the United
States or In any part Of the world.
and this need is being met In true
American fashion by the operators and
owners of the mines and by the dig
gers of coal. With these words Secre-
tary Franklin K. Lane began his state
ment regarding the coal situation a.
reported to him by the statisticians Of
his department.
The production Of coal In the United
States last. year, he continued, was
the greatest In the history Of the coun-
try. A new record, however, was set
for the first six months Of this year,
fully 27O,OO0,OO0 tons Of bituminous
. coal being produced since Jan. 1, thus
exceeding the output Of the first six
months Of last year by about 100000
tons. Even better news Is that the
limit has not yet been reached, for, a.
the railroads are able to work out TO
better advantage the problem OF car
supply and give to the mines greater
facilities for transporting their product
to market, the supply Of coal that
reaches the consumer win be In stead
fly increasing quantities. In the early
months Of 1917, because Of the conges-
ton Of the railroads and the difficult
ties of transportation, the production
Of bituminous coal fell behind the high
mark set In January and February .
year ago. AS a result Of the patriotic
and earnest endeavor Of the railroad
officials and the coal operators and
representatives of mine workers who
have volunteered their services to the
federal government In this emergency.
production has been speeded up within
the last few months, and the output Of
soft coal, which In May exceeded all
previous records, was surpassed In
June.
Despite the extra demand In this
country and the urgent needs Of our
allies, no one with the facts before
him can doubt that the coal industry,
under the careful guidance Of those
now directing Its welfare, will be able
to supply all needs.

Research Council Wants Ban
tam Fighters In the Army.
THEY HAVE A HARD PUNCH
Brute Strength ls Not as Essential az
Intelligence and Bravery-Japs, Az
eraging Five Feet Two and Fourth
Inches, Licked the Russians, Who Are
TalIer-Training Increases Height.

Many an ardent young American pa
triot anxious to serve his country on
the fighting line Is kicking his heels
with vexation because Uncle Sam con-
siders him too short In stature to make
the kind of soldier Uncle Sam wants.
He may be brave and intelligent as
well as strong and sound in mind and
limb, but by stretching his hardest he
cannot make more than five feet two
or three inches and therefore must Of
necessity remain in civilian garb while
his soul longs for olive drab.
In the days of old, when the brute
strength Of soldiers was of almost
greater importance than bravery,
height was matter Of first consid-
Grafton, but now that mere strength
has become subordinate to natural in
telligence and careful scientific train
ing the big man, being a big target,
has his military disadvantages, while
the medium sized man is generally
only a shade the better soldier than the
one two or three inches shorter. 1t Is
extremely improbable that well train
ed regiment of educated Patagonians,
who average five feet ten inches tall,
would get the better Of an opposing
regiment of Frenchmen, who are five
inches shorter.
Shall We Reduce Minimum
The committee ON anthropology OF
the National Research Council has TAX
en- this matter in hand. After exhaus-
tive study 1t has forwarded to the gen.
eral medical board certain recommen-
dations which In due course will be
placed before the war and navy de-
partments. These recommendations are
to the effect that the United States
would be fully justified in changing its
recruiting requirements by reducing
the minimum height from five feet
four. inches to five feet one inch and
correspondingly the minimum weight
from 1913 to 100 pounds. The commit
tee points out that many European ma
tionalities, most of which are well rep
resented In this country, have an aver
age height of two, three or four inches
shorter than that Of Americans, the
smaller statures signifying normal va
ration, according to racial difference
rather than degeneration.
The average heights of varioCs races
are as follows:

The Russo-Japanese war showed con-
clusively to every military expert that
the small man may be made into
magnificently capable soldier. The av-
erage Jap appears physically insignifi-
cant alongside the burly Russian, but
his fighting qualities are in no way in
ferior. Less marked Is the physical
difference between the French and the
Germans, but the latter are decidedly
the larger men. When 1t comes to In
dividual fighting, however, the Marine,
verdun and other battlefelds have
proved the superiority of the French
over their Teutonic enemies.

AN IRIDESCENT DREAM
OF WORLD PEACE

OF the beauty of the word picture
painted by Mr.. Wilson depicting 6
worlds federation with the battle
flag furled and the war-drum con-
signed to the nursery there can be
no dispute. But it is picture of the
imagination for the present and we
fear for some time to come. This
making over of human nature on q
grand scale is not so easy as it ap.
pears on paper, for the reason tina,
collective mankind has habit of re-
verting to elemental types.
The message has not committed
the United States to new interna-
tional policy and there is no need
for undue excitement in this country
from the chief magistrate, who in
four years has not been quite able
to rid himself of the dominie's wand
to civilization to mend its ways, at
an hour when n whole continent is a
shambles. The question of peace is
becoming an obsession at the White
House and the horror of war weighs
heavily upon the executive.
Mr.. Wilson's adaptation to the
European situation of the principles
of the League to Enforce Peace is
based upon two main predicates: q
negotiated peace and practical dis
armament. The latter we feel GER
tain will be adopted by Europe foi

Movement Started
For Baseball Team

The people of America are noted
in all parts of the world for the in
terest they take and the skill they
have in playing those games that re
quire not only mental ability but
physical ability as well. The great
civilizations Of history, when at the
height of their glory and renown,
gave evidence of the greatest degree
If skill in athletic sports. 1t is
most natural that an energetic mind
wants to live and have its being in
an energetic body. 1t is the pride
of the capable mind to have its home
in capable body. 1t is now, when
physical training is SO necessary,
that we realize the force OF the ex-
preston, "A strong mind in a strong
body"
No longer is there any dispute
bout the fact that the American ma
tional game Of baseball affords the
best opportunity for both the devel-
opment of the mind and the body.
Besides it is considered one of the
very best ways of entertainment. 1t
has become the greatest national
game Of the most energetic nation
that has yet been established on the
earth.
As a most natural expression of
America demands there is call
from all classes of citizens that
there be organized here for the sum-
mer baseball team that will be in
harmony with the highest ideals of
the national game. All citizens are
requested to come out to the Duran
go Exchange monday evening next
and assist in the organization of a
baseball team that will be the pride
Of the San Juan. Our people have
enjoyed this clean sport in the past
and want more Of it.
