The largest consignment of coal re-

considers that Salem is an ideal citv

ready become a member Of the Com
mercial club.
Mr.. Niemeyer states that the appar-
emily increasing prices Of wood are
causing many people to buy the more
economical coal, though few realize the
enormous difference in the heating
power of coal compared with wood. The
coal Mr.. Niemeyer is selling contains
1880 heat units Ier pound while
pound of kiln dry wood contains only
$500 heat units.
These IL, 800 heat units correspond to
practically ten million foot pounds of
work. A horse power may be consider
ed as corresponding to 500 foot pounds
Of work per second, or 1,9S0,000 foot
pounds per hour. Thus pound Of coal
contains a store of energy which if ca
pable of being completely converted in
to work without loss would in one hour
do the work of about 1-2 horses.

the stupendous powers of nature, the

THE BRUTAL TRUTH


From the New York Tribune, May 9
The time has come when the peopl
of the United States should look tn
facts of the world war squarely in tn
face. 1t would be a very grave mis-
take if there should be a continuation
of the present tendency to believe tha
the war is all but over, and that tn,
recent successes of the allies in Franc,
are but prelude to a German collapse
Nothing of the sort is true. Despite
the recent considerable initial success
of the allied offensives, the best mill
tary Judgment is that it will be i'm
possible now for the allies to get 9
military decision in the present year
and that the war, judging by the mil
itary circumstances must 60 on at least
through campaign of 1918.
There is very general notion in the
United States that Germany must soon
surrender because of starvation. This
is possible, but unlikely. If Germany
can last through the next two months,
she will be able to 60 through many
months more, because the new harvest
will begin to come in, and, whether it
be sufficient for another year or not not
it will give Germany food for a long
period of time.
The chance of military decision by
the allies this yeas was conditioned
upon the arrival of Russia, remunitioned
and reorganized, on the eastern front.
Unless every sign fails, this will not
happen. Russia, to all appearances, is
for a long period of time out of the
war so far as an offensive campaign is
concerned, and the real question is
whether Russia can hold any consider
able number of German troops ON the
eastern front, or will be compelled eth
er to retreat OF to make separate
peace.
Unless the United States shall, with
in the next six months, put consider
able body of troops in France, who will
be able q year hence to take part in
the campaign of 1918, there is grave
possibility that France may collapse,
owing to her great losses and to her
now steadily diminishing man-power.
Unless the United States, in concert
with Great Britain, can either find a
method OF dealing with the submarine
or of revictualling England and supply
ing France and Italy with steel and coal
there must be great pos
sihility not alone of the collapse of
France and the withdrawal of Italy, but
Of crisis in British food supply next
summer which may make peace by nego
tion inevitable and leave Germany, if
not completely victorious, yet in posi-
tion to renew her attack upon civiliza-
tion. What is even more perilous is
that such a peace would leave the con
troll of the German empire in the hands
Of those who have made this war, and
made it the kind of struggle it has be-
come.
Had Russia been able to perform her
part, it would have been possible for
the United States to have approached
the war with some deliberation. 1t
would have have been possible to have
given precedence to industrial organiza-
tion, and to have armed our millions
and trained them more slowly. But this
does not exist, and cannot be

expected to exist for another pear.


Let US face the facts as they are
Today, despite their encouraging mill.
taFy successes, the allies are facing a
situation which is serious, and likely to
become even more serious. The war
may yet be lost unless the United States
is prepared to send men to France
promptly, to hegin without delay the or
ganization of ocean transport and a sys-
tematic conservation of the national
food supply. Russia at least temporar
lily out of the war; France almost at the
end of her resources; Italy still incapa-
BILE of enduring successfully an attack
organized by Germa1, nigh command
such as destroyed Roumania and almost
captured Verdun; Great Britain strug-
Cling with a submarine blockade not yet
mastered and daily becoming more ser
ious-this is the picture of the war sit
uation as it now stands.
The United States can supply the de-
cisive blow. IT can supply the decisive
blow only if the American people put
aside all notions that their participation
in the war is to be small or limited to
contributions of money or of food. We
can win the war if we are prepared to
dO III IOIt 1CIO Nlidb VIC ulu III
1868 and 1864, but the war itself may
be lost if two years are consumed in
organization at home in foolish effort
to train men imperfectly for war such
as the present. We cannot hope for sue
cess unless we squarely face the fact
that our allies are likely to be beaten
without our help and that we shall lose
the war, with all the future peril that
that will mean for us, unless we act
promptly, resolutely and put no limit on
on our war effort.
The collapse of Russia is the great
est single incident advantageous to Ger
many in the whole conflict. A change
OF Russian rulers saved Frederick the
Great. Germany will be saved in the
same way unless the United States can
within one year take Russia S place on
the firing line and at the same time
abolish the real and growing threat of
British starvation year hence.
The present situation of the war,
does not warrant panic. But neither
does it invite optimism. The hardest,
bitterest, most dangerous portion of the
struggle is yet to come, and unless the |
United States is prepared for sacrifices
as great as the British and French peo-
pie have already made, Germany may
yet escape that defeat which is essential
to the restoration of justice and de-
mocracy in the world and the vindica-
tion of international -aw, now threaten
ed with permanent repeal. And if Ger
many escapes today, the danger for us
tomorrow will be beyond present esti-
nation. We are in war the issue of
which is still doubtful and the outcome
of which will infallibly be defeat, un-
less we are prepared to fight as war
for our own existence, calling for our
best effort and our ultimate strength.
