DIR. Garfield, the nations fuel adj
ministrator, purposes to see that there
is plenty of coal for everyone. He
has a list of all the coal mines of the
country and a statement of their pro-
ducing capacity. He intends to notify
each of them to deliver a certain per-
centage of their output to the govern
ment at the price the president has
named. From this accumulation of
government coal, DIR. Garfield will
supply the individual consumer But
the owners of the smaller coal mines
say that they cannot produce coal at
the price which President Wilson has
offered. If this is true and if they
deny DR.. Garfield's right to compel
them to deliver coal at a loss-what
then? Will DIR. Garfield take over
the mines and operate them in the
name of the government, with a con-
gressional appropriation to make up
the deficit? Or will the owners be
forced to run their mines at a loss in
behalf of the government? This
price fixing business leads to many
complications.

With an evident desire not to be
left alone, as the only nation on the
western continent, not at war with
Germany, Peru has dug up an old
grievance and issued an ultimatum to
Berlin on the strength Of it, Last
February a German submarine sank
a bark belonging to one of her citizens
and the South American republic filed
a protest. Berlin offered to refer the
matter to a prize court. This dispo-
sition of the case was not satisfactory
to the government at Lima and the
sense of outrage probably has been
growing steadily from that time to
the present. Peru now proposes to
obtain satisfaction or get into the
fight. That Peruvian bark may prove
bitter dose to Germany.

The Famous Miss Ruby La Rue.
oh, say a kind word for Miss Ruby La
Rue,
Who doesn't dress like many other girls do.
And she doesn't wheeze
From having bare knees
And wearing half-hose with her shins
showing thru.
The glowing Miss Ruby,
Slow going Miss Ruby,
The knowing Miss Ruby La Rue.
A Harvard professor, addressing de-
partment store proprietors in Boston
the other day, said that to be strong
and happy people should dress ac-
cording to the ''stheneurophoric ra-
to-"
We are of the opinion that some of
the ladies along Broadway are doing
that right now but of course there is
a scientific name for everything.
The sthen-europhoric ratio along
Broadway is represented by regula-
ton hiatus between the tops of the
half-hose and the bottoms of the
skirts.
A contributor says there are few
42-centimeter intellects in the senate
That may be so, but he cannot deny
that there are a number OF small
bores-
The usual German peace offer Is
about as illuminating as a Satevepost
editorial on the value of goldfish in
the home.

Germany has put out another peace
feeler She has expressed a willing
ness to give up Belgium if she shall
be permitted to plant her feet in Ant
werp. She even offers to pay a part
of the damage which her armies have
wrought in that country. There is no
suggestion regarding who shall pay
the remainder of the bill. Berlin can
hardly expect that any notice of this
proposal will be taken officially by
any nation with whom she is engaged
in war. The kaiser is merely feeling
his way, always with the hope of
striking a responsive chord among the
people of some one of the nations
allied against his country. If this
latest suggestion of peace terms be
ignored. as it is certain to be, there
will be others, making >urther conces-
sions. The German government
probably realizes that it must make
peace before spring or be crushed
completely; also, that any peace on
terms emanating from Berlin would
be a German victory. What Germany
is clearly seeking is to save all she
can out of the wreck of her own ambi-
tious designs. She cannot hide from
the world the hideous conduct by
which she sought to make these sue
cessful by the slaughter of innocents
and the destruction of rights. So she
makes no reference to these or their
Consequences. but puts forth a pre-
tense of virtuous purpose and love of
all that is just and pure and peaceful.
