retary Lane further states that before the close of the next season the gov. ernment expects to close gap in the lower end of its railroad, SO that coal may be shipped direct to Seward and when that has been accomplished. coal barges may load at a port open the year around. Once Seward becomes the terminus of the Alaska railroad coal from Matanuska may be shipped throughout the year.
 In answer to Senator McNary's question: "Is it advisable to modify present leasing regulations. at least for the period Of the war, in order to encourage the development of Alaska coal? Secretary Lane says: q do not see how the requirements could be made any more liberal than they are at present as to royalties. and the other provisions are designed to fa- cilitate all practical mining operations. These leases are made for fifty years: wherefore we must look to future de- velopment and preservation of the pro perties, as well as to mere temporary considerations"
 Secretary Lane says the government has made no arrangements to trans port Alaska coal to Pacific coast ports and the government has no present in- tention of mining coal in Alaska for commercial trade. The law, he says. .contemplates that the development. other than for government use. shall be by private capital. Asked if the government would encourage the building of barges or other carriers to get Alaska coal to the states, Sec retary Lane said:
 "It would seem that it should not be necessary, and that if the condi- tions surrounding the mining and Transportation of Alaska coal are such that Alaska coal can compete with other fuel supplies, it should be able to stand such a reasonable charge for transportation as will induce private capital to carry it on.'
The Cordova daily times., 1917-08-14
PLENTY OF GOAL BUT NONE FOR
 LOCAL USE

There Is no present indication that Alaska coal. in quantity. will be put on the Pacific coast market next sea son, notwithstanding the fact that Alaska has coal in abundance, and that transportation to carry this coal to tidewater will be available this fall Conservation seems to stand in the way of coal development, and threat. ems to keep Alaska coal in Alaska at a time 1t is badly needed in most of the markets along the Pacific coast. The government alone is likely to utilize Alaska coal extensively next year, and the government will mine only such coal as it needs for it's own use; 1t will not attempt to meet the demands of the public
 This conclusion is fairly drawn from an extended statement furnished Sen ator McNary by Secretary Lane, of the interior department.
 The Oregon senator. appraised of the northwest fuel situation by the Port land Chamber of Commerce, is strug- gling with the problem of bringing about the development of Alaskan coal hand getting that coal to Oregon and other coast markets. With Secretary | Lanes statement as basis, the sen ator will pursue the matter further for he knows the coal Is in Alaska. he knows the market exists, and the only problems to be solved are how to gel the coal out of the ground, and how to get it from Alaska to Portland ant other distributing points.
 The first problem Is for government | solution. The question Of sea trans portation must be worked out by tht shipping and commercial interests O the Pacific coast
 In response to a comprehensive ser Iies of questions submitted by Senator | McNary, Secretary Lane has furnished considerable information regarding thu Alaska coal situation. He repeats wha he has before explained. that the rail hroad to the coal field will be com pleted to the heart of the field by Sep tember 1, but the sea terminus of thii road is Anchorage. which is closed b, ice in winter, so 1t will not be possible to get Matanuska coal to the Pacific coast ports before next season.

FIGHTING FORCES AT THE FRONT
 DESCRIBED
s(By Associated Press)

BEHIND THE BRITISH LINES IN FRANCE. Aug. IA. - What makes an indelible impression on the newcomer to the battlefront is the tremendous organization back of the actual fight ing line, the miles of roadways dotted with transport of war food for men and horses. shells for the guns, ann munition for rifles and machine guns and comforts for the wounded.
 The final and most interesting link in this vast organization Is the oper- ation of getting the food right up to the men in the trenches. It usually takes place under cover of darkness, when tre enemy is unable to impede it's progress as efficiently as with the aid of daylight. Night after night this goes on. After one recovers from surprise at the quietness with which it is done he is bound to marvel at the clock-like precision of the whole operation - all of which testifies to the efficient organization necessary in a war like this.
 The first intimation that the trans port is preparing to move out toward the front line is clattering of horses shoes on the cobbles of French farm yard. Then voices call out orders, water carts are filled; horses are har- messed to the wagons and a few min utes later the whole column is stand ing ready. silent, the transport men mounted, the quartermaster, transport officer and a sergeant on foot. In an other instant whistle sounds, there is a cracking of whip, then another chatter on the cobblestones and the rumble of heavily laden wagons as the whole column moves out toward the trenches.
 A few miles ahead the first star shells shoot up and little sudden little bricks of flame come from the enemy's guns, then there is soft burst shrapnel followed by the deep boom Of the heavy guns.
 The roar is narrow but wide enough for the limbers of other regiments, cookers, ambulances, army service corps lorries laden with tools and trench stores, orderlies on bicycles and wounded men to pass on their
The Cordova daily times., 1917-08-14

way further back of the lines. But not word is heard as the two col umns pass each other along this road.
 AS the column going in" with the rations moves up closer to the lines the star shells and boom of the big guns becomes more distant. Sudden ly the column halts---shells have burst in the road or on either side of 1t lit- tie way ahead. When this ceases pro bably for only few minutes the word Is given to move on again. The col umn continues to crawl along until it reaches a battered old building beside the road and within a stones throw of the support trenches. Here are left the supplies brought up by this column.
 The next sight is stream of men with picks and shovels and ammuni- tion; a sergeant to see that the ra- tions for the different companies are placed in different piles; post-cor- poral hurrying hither and thither in search of D Company's letters, which have been mislaid: and the transport officer and quartermaster supervising and controlling everything always in the most impenetrable darkness. save when a star shell lights up the white faces, the sweating horses and the roads.
 The transport officer gives the word and the empty wagons jolt out onto the road again to join in the stream that flows back towards billets and sleep.
