COAL WILL BE PRESSING
QUESTION IN FRANCE
WHEN PEACE TIME COMES

Paris, March 24-However pressing
the problem of coal may be to France
in wartime. it will be even more press
ing with the return of peace. Al
ready the government is studying
possible ways and means of freeing
France after the war from bondage to
German coal. The industrial situation
before the war was continually ag-
gravated by the fact, and France
hopes that some way out of return
to that condition of dependency may
be found after the war.
The situation is complicated by
the French expectation that Alsace-
Lorraine again will become French
The return of these provinces would
mean virtually a doubling of the ma
tons requirements of coal. owing to
the immense amounts required for the
development of the iron deposits in
Lorraine. This means that instead of
doing with about 60,000000 tons of
coal year, as before the war, France
will need more than 100000000 tons
A French expert, Maurie Alfassa
has just published report showing
where France must obtain her coal
if she wishes to maintain independ-
ence of Germany He indicates three
main sources Development of the de-
posts Of coal in France, England and
the coal mines on the left bank of
the Rhine, the output of which is es-
timated at 100000 rons yearly. This
opens up the question of the future
of the German territory west Of the
Rhine, and NJ Alfas3a suggests that
in the peace treaty the left bank OF
the Rhine should be given a special
economic standing, enabling France
to remove some of the tariff walls
which existed before the war between
herself and Germany.
NJ A1fassa suggests that the peace
treaty ending the war Should provide
for the opening of the Rhine as free
waterway for international trade.

CHILD LABOR COMMITTEE
WILL HOLD CONFERENCE
To Explain Special Need of Child
Labor; Conference lust Now

In spite of the gravity of the war
situation and the consequent preoc-
cupation of the country, the National
Child Labor Committee will hold its
annual conference in Baltimore March
%, "a and Is as scheduled. DIR. Felix
Adler, chairman of the Committee, be-
l1eves strongly that every effort should
be made to continue the work of the
various social agencies in spite of the
possibility of war and to keep life in
this countryas close to the normal as
possible. A. ]. McKefway, the WASH
ineton representative of the Commit
tee, says: MY own conviction is very
strong that we should adopt the gen
eraf attitude expressed in Great Brit
ain soon after the war began, 'Busf-
ness as usual This may be out last

tary of the Committee, explained ia

reason the National Child Labor Conn

Reports from most beligerent coun-
tries are meagre, but we Know that in
England at least the school system
has in large measure broken down,
children of II are excused from
school to go to work, and about 500,-
600 children under IA left school for
work in 1915. Juvenile delinquency In
England has increased "a per cent,
and the reasons for this are the break
ing down of the educational system,
the stopping of settlement, club and
child welfare work, with premature
employment of children in agriculture
and munitions factories, together with
the loss of home influence-for with
his father at the front and his mother
in factory a small boy has no one to
keep him from going wrong. Here
in America we must keep up our edit
cational and child welfare work at all
costs and not let the seriousness of

| Our sense of duty to our children. The
| children should be the last to feel the
war"
One session of the child labor con-
ference in Baltimore will be devoted
to the subject, Safeguarding Child
rem in Peace or War;" and it is ex-
pected that the meeting will be ne
culiarly interesting because those at
tending will realize more than they
would at any other time the serious
ness of the problems they discuss.

SPRING

Now fades the last long streak of
snow,
Now bourgeons every maze of
knick
About the Towering squares and
thick
By Ashen roots the violets blow.
Now rings the woodland loud and
long,
The distance takes lovelier hue,
And drowned in yonder living blue
The lark becomes sightIess song.
Now dances the light on lawn and
lea.
The focks are winter down the
vale,
And milkier every milky sail
On winding stream or distant sea;
Where now the scanned pipes, or dives
In yonder greening gfeam, and fly
The happy birds, that chage their
sky
To build and broow, that five their
lives.
From land to land; and in my breast
Spring weakens, too; and my regret
Becomes an April violet
And buds and blossoms like the rest

81 DIDN'T RAISE MY BOY TO

Now, Willie Percy Mccoy
Was a nice little boy,
And was tied to his mothers apron

He was fancy and thot wise
Wore bright and gaudy ties,

Destined to be man very great.
He had habits very good,

And he had an obligation with dame

Now, Percy was history slave,
Ger great battles he used to rave,
And vowed a soldier brave he'd some
day be.
He'd be gallant, staunch and reckless,
But his doom was sealed in Texas.
And not in foreign battles DER the

Instead of staying home in school.
Set out upon soldiers road so hard.
To gallant Percy they gave three
cheers,
And then they signed him for six
years,
Taught him to live that long on dry
bareback.
Dressed him up in khaki clothes,
Gave him rifle, bayonet, hobnail
shoes.
And a blanket roll that nearly broke
his back.
They took him to a camp.
And for four months made him tramp
Der distant rock road and muddy
dale.
The little darling nearly died,
With blistered feet he often cried.
And cursed, the savage Corporal if he

And brought the lads down on the

And his mothers only joy,

AME R|CAN ARMY
REORGANIZATION
NOT IMMEDIATE
Regulars, National Guards and
National Forces Raised by
Draft to Move to Camps as
Originally Planned,


Washington, July 27.-Plans for
tactical reorganization of the army
are not advanced to the point where
any immediate change in the size or
formation of divisions now in this
country is contemplated. 1t was
stated officially today that the divi-
sions of the regulars, national guard
and national army would move to
their camps in the formation of the
present typical" infantry division
prescribed by law, but which the
president is authorized to vary as he
sees fit.
Presumably a reorganization of
General Pershing's forces in harmony
with the smaller division plan now
in vogue i'm European armies already
has been effected. The exact nature
OF the change has not been dis
closed.
A typical infantry division of the
American army makes a total force
of about $4,000 men. The French
use about 1000 men to a division
and the Germans about the same, and
in trench fighting the unit of or
ganization appears to be the corps
rather than the division. The typical
division as it exists can be shaped
easily to meet any emergency, how
ever, and that Is what will be done
on the basis of actual experience In

Lloyd George Gives Pertinent
Facts and Praises Achieve
ments Of American FIotiIIa
in U-boat Hunt,

Paris, July 27.--David Lloyd
George, the British premier, today
gave a breakfast to a number of edi-
tors of important French newspapers,
during which he conversed fully with
them on the military suitation and re-
piled to questions The Temps this
afternoon gives a summary of his
talk.
Mr.. Lloyd George said that Great
Britain now had between 5000, 900
and 100000 soldiers enrolled, not
counting 100000 to $4,000 belonging
to the navy, or nearly a million men
from the dominions and colonies.
Great Britain had placed at the dis
position of her allies he added from
100000 to 100000 tons of mer.
chant ships. Next years building pro-
gram of merchant ships, which al.
ready has begun, amounts to 1000, 900
tons or twice as much as in a good
year during peace times. Abiding to
the campaign against submarines Mr.,
Lloyd George said;
1.-The diminution in shipping losses
is incontestible. 1t is impossible To
abandon the subject without paying
homage to the aid given by the Amer
lean navy, both regarding the organi-
zation of conveys and by torpedo boat
destroyers, which have rendered an
invaluable service
Continuing Mr.. Lloyd George said
five million men and women were
engaged in war work in the United
Kingdom. More women could be em-
ployed if the trades unions did not
fear the competition of women after
the war, but other countries seemed
to have experienced the same diff
culties. 1t could be said that at the
present time no English industry is
working for individual interests ex-
cept in agriculture.
