FRENCH SITUATION CRITICAL

The coal situation in France and Italy
is reported to be very little less critical
because of the shortage of tonnage and
the sinking of coal laden vessels by the
U-boats. Even Germany, with all its coal
mines, was short of coal last winter. This
shortage was due to three things-labor.
Transportation and export to Switzerland.
Holland, Denmark and Sweden In No
vember thousands of experienced miners
were taken out of the mines and sent to
the west front to hasten the completion
of the "Siegfried," or so-called linden
burg line. Severe cold caused the canals
the usual cheap coal transportation
routes to freeze solid
In view of the great factor that Ger
man coal, not to mention German dyes,
chemicals and medicines, is in the rela-
tons between Germany and the Euro
pear neutrals, and their dependence upon
Germany in that respect, there is little
prospect from what | saw and learned
both in Berlin and the Scandinavian
countries that the expectations and hopes
in some circles here that those countries
can be forced to break relations. or al
least completely close down their borders
to Germany, will be realized as long as
the United States and England cannot
replace those vital necessities
The war is entering a stage where coal
and food will be the dual monarchs in
that their victims will be thousands.

dergoing extensive repairs. She is be-
ing used in barging coal from Cordova,
the head of navigation on the War
rior river. to Mobile. The steamboats,
Clio and Darling are also making reg

usually make about three round trips
per month. each time carrying heavy
loads of coal, which have run as high
