Coal Nav Go Higher

The coal shortage will continue
through this year, because the trans
portation companies cannot possibly
solve their problem before next winter.
They are wearing out engines. in these
rush times, faster than the builders can
build new ones. Therefore the engine
shortage is going to be the same next
year az this, and that means that we
are going to have car shortage at the
mines. quite regardless of the number
of cars which are bought from now on.
The car shortage is going 90 dictate
the amount of coal available for sale,
and hence the price which the opera
tors will get for their coal. The indi-

The interesting fact is disclosed by
the report Of the State Superin-
tendent of Banks, showing deposits
in New York savings banks of ST.
959 ,663,72S at the end of 1916, that
for the first time in several years
there was a real net increase in de-
posits of new money. For several
preceding years the increase in de-
posits had not equalled that which
would have accrued merely through
the increment from interest earned.
This showing is the more satisfac-
tory because of the fact that there
has undoubtedly been a rise in in
vestment intelligence during the last
few years and consequently the ten
dency has been for people to put less
of their savings in the banks and
more in securities. That was no
doubt done last year to greater ex-
tent than ever, and there was still
enough left over TO swell savings
bank deposits by s134,0OO,000.

Expert Explains Our Part
In War Will Be indie
pendent One

Paris, July 12-General Berthaut
contributes an interesting study of the
general principles governing the
American military collaboration with
the Allies in the war against Ger
many. He twits the censorship for
its timidity in having first suppressed
the following non-committal note now
sanctioned for publication:
1.-The American government will
have its own line of communication
with the army from the western
front to Washington
What is surprising says General
Berthaut, lis not that the censor af
ter ripe reflection allowed this in
formation to appear, but that it was
ever suppressed.
'It concerns, in effect, a measure
which is imposed absolutely and
without which a defective organiza-
ton and confusion would result"
The participation of the United
States in the war;" General Berthaut,s
note stated, ~"does not consist in plac-
ing at our disposition contingents Of
men. Neither does it consist in send
| ing to US tactical units already prop
erly formed in ibattalions, regiments,
! brigades or larger cadreS, to be used
i individually here and there under OUT:
| command in collaboration with
| French units Of the same order.
'@The American forces constitute an
| Independent army, having its own COM
mander, general staff and the usual
staff corps, all operating in close iai-
| son with the Entente. Under such
| circumstances each army becomes a
prolongation of the nation to which
! it belongs
"The United States should know di-
rectly the needs of it's army. In
/ addition, this army should not be sup
| Piled through Intermediates. It is
| necessary, then. that there exist at
| the disposition Of the American gov
eminent lines of communication al
| ways uninterrupted between its army
in the field and its base of supplies
| established in this country. This
| system of communications Is called a
J line Of operations, and it is made up
| of lines Of ships, roads and railways,
/ and of concordant telegraph lines.
/ s'In the United States all supplies
4 destined for the army will flow from
| certain centres, the confluence of
which lis called the base of opera
/ tions. From this the line of opera
/ lions will develop across the Allan
tic to France, where there will exist,
/ by reason Of the necessity Of debarka-
/ ton and reshipments "a secondary base
4 of operations.
1.-THE British line of operation in
i cludes as does the American. both
sea and land lines, but of much less
distance, and because the secondary
bases Of operations and thetlines Oh
h operations from those bases will be
constituted in our territory, it does
/ not follow that their security will he
complete and that all risks will be or
1 that part of the line crossing ths
/ ocean, until the day arrives when the
method which will deliver us from
the German submarines is not only
invented but realized"

the disease is always present So
long as the cases do not run above
an average number for a city of this
size there will be no special cam
paign, but all of the usual care to

Garbage Collection for June
Shows Big Falling Off
In Weight

High food prices and the tendency
to be economical are noted in the
garbage collection reports showing a
falling off of 81 tons in the month OF
June as compared with June, 1916.
The health departments report shows
that in the last month, 8, LA, 600 pounds
of garbage were collected.
Investigations bring out the fact
that the blame for the mixing of gar
bage and refuse Is for the most part
on the drivers of the garbage wagons.

work is being worked out and will he
adopted within a very short time.
