There is plenty of coal and IL peo-
pie will only be patient no one will

The only trouble is the demand is
abnormal, but the jobbers are conf
dent that Dr. Garfield and the fuel ad-
ministration will work out the ques-
tion satisfactorily"
Ten per cent more coal is being
mined In the United States now than
year ago, and the tonnage for the
calendar year will show the increase
in production" ]. d. Cole, of Kansas
City declared.
The country will produce nearly
ooo,000,000 tons of bituminous and So
100000 tons of anthracite coal during
1917, which is an increase of 10 per
cent over last year and 20 per cent
more than the previous year. These
figures are based on the output for

FaNtoiles running overtime are cauS-

means that today they hold
every inch of the famous
Alsne crest and have shut
the Germans off from their
last look at the promised
land of France beyond the
ridge.
LAST PORTION OF RioGE.
Tuesdays drive was along a front
of six miles, on the Allemant- Pantheon
front. The French seized the last nor
tion of the Aisne ridge, including the
west, a little over two kilometers of
the historic Ladies' way (Chemin des
dames) with its junction on the Brus
selles highway, which the Germans
still held, together with all observa
tories, notably Fort Malmaison The
French are now masters of every spot
on the entire Aisne ridge-ffom yaux-
aillon to Craonne-which heretofore
formed the back bone of the German
positions. Not only that, but the
French now hold the outer line of de-
fenses to Laon.

SERIOUS FREIGHT
CAR SHORTAGE IN
UNITED STATES
Big Grain Crop, Army Ship
ments and Business In
crease Responsible for the
Critical Situation.

Chicago, Oct. 24.-The greatest grain
crop in history to move and an army
OF million and a half men to feed
combined with the general increase in
freight car shortage.
The railroads face shortage today
or over 10000 cars and they are un-
able to> get more, ID. l. FORSYTH. vice
chairman of the Chicago car service
committee, told the United Press to-
day.
The government is requiring for
army representation and ships
the material for making locomotives
and freight cars. Also, practically all
the cars now being constructed are be-
ing sent to France which is in even
greater need of cars than this country.
The middle west could use 1000
more cars daily" Forsyth said. Chi
cago alone could use 1000 more daily
and this is conservative estimate.
Possibly the need is greater"
FREIGHT CABS POOLED.
Through the manipulation of the
pooling system, under the direction
of the railroads war board at Wash
ington, the railroads of the country
were enabled to move 20 per cent more
traffic, with an increase of only per
cent IN cars, during the six months
just passed Under the direction of
this board, freight cars of SOS railroads
are pooled and used wherever needed,
which was prohibitive before the war
THE only remedy for the shortage"
says Forsyth, lis for the shippers of
he country to cooperate with the
in moving along shipments s
quickly as possible. Ordering of full
carload orders and the immediate re-
easing of cars is asked of shippers"

Then place into oiled bread pan, al

For a still greater saving of white

using IA cup of strained honey instead
of the 2 tablespoons of sugar for

is to be apportioned as follows
Eleven million one hundred and TWEEN
ty thousand dollars in building up tn
morals of the troops in cantonment
and camps in the United States. Fo
the work among the American troops
in France, establishing huts in tn,
various military centers along tn,
lines in France and Belgium, it 1.
planned to spend $11,994 900, while
similar work in the Russian ranks
will take $685. 900, the French arm,
s2.649, 1000, with $1,OOO,OOO for the
Italians and the same amount for er.
penditure in the prison camps among
the Allies.
When the magnanimous and splen-
did efforts of the workers in the war
camps are thoroughly considered and
the manhood and character of the
fighting men properly estimated, it is
almost unfortunate that the amount
asked-s35, 900, ,00O-for the relief
work is not large enough to challenge
real sacrifice on the part of the Amer
lean people. In a nation abounding
with wealth, where three and five
biIlion-dollar war loans barely affect
the financial situation of the country
the raising of a sum such as the one
required by the Y. NJ. C. A. war coun-
Gil should be comparatively easy But
everybody, everywhere in the United
States, must give to make the fund
the kind and degree of success it
should be.
The Red Cross and the red triangle
of the Y. M. C. A. are the only two or
ganizations General Pershing wants
on the battle field, he has
officially declared. Are the American
people going to back him up in his
desires and needs? His judgment and
ability as an American general of the
type should warrant
that. May every man, woman and
child, social, religious and philan-
thropic organization, therefore, sup
port and further the war work coun-
ell fund and thus very materially and
directly assist in the maintenance of
the manhood of our men-it is the
crying need of the hour-it is the SOL
emn and sacred obligation which
everyone must feel and discharge at
his time.

"The Great Valley"

Vers libre is again the medium
through which Edgar Lee Master pic
lures the lives of the people of the
Ohio Valley in his latest book, "The
Great Valley" While this book of
verse, if it can be called verse, is not
in the same class with his Spoon
River Anthology" which caused so
much comment in the literary world
because of its original style when it
first appeared several years ago, yet
it nevertheless shows the same clear
insight into the character of common
people and things as the former book.
Mr.. Masters does not confine him
self to the valley alone in this book.
He finds wide range of subjects and,
in some cases, departs from his free
style and writes in orthodox verse as
in his Princess Song" Several Of
the poems have classical themes.
Several poems on the character of
men who are associated with the val
ley people are included in this book.
These are character analyses of such
men as Robert G. Ingersoll, Theodore
Dresser and the like.
There is no general theme running
through the book, it being a mere
collection of poems. "The Great VAL
ley" lacks some of the bluntness and
badness of the anthology.
