ALL The WORLD IS SHORT Of
COAL As WINTER AND WAR +:
BOOST DEMAND, CUT SUPPLY

every mine have been drafted. The
men do not seek exemption and the
operators have hesitated to ask 1t. But
the loss is Gripping mining, when the
mines are operating at only 10 per
cent Of their capacity and oughts to
be producing to the limit.
The demand for coal for purely war
uses by our allies is: Italy, 100000
tons a month or 100000 tons year;
France 100000 tons; Canada, 3,000,.
900 tons.
Prussia is no exception in the matter
Of coal shortage
In July, f916, Russia started to
regulate price and distribution. The
navy and arsenals were given first
call, then factories having government
contracts, then the private consumer.
By recent order the use Of wood is
substituted in many cases
Germany is better equipped, having
started earlier to wrest the coal in
dustry from private speculation In
September, 1915, the imperial govern.
ment forced all coal producers into a
syndicate which fixes prices. The
Chief trouble is to secure distribution
to the weaker consumers. This has
finally been worked out by a card sys-
tenn France is now trying the same
system.
The embargo on coal will keep in
the United States much coal which
would have been drawn abroad by
high prices. Italy, for example, has
been paying as high as 500 ton for
coal laid down in Italy.

BY gibson GARDNER.

Washington, D. c., Oct 16.-All the
world will be short of coal this win
ter. The United States will be 100.
100000 tons short, but Europe will be
almost coalless. Only for war pur-
poses, and the barest necessities, will
Europe use coal.
In France hotels and dwellings were
freless many months last winter.
The best French coal fields are be-
hind the enemy lines near Lens. There
was plenty of coal in Newcastle across
the channel, but ships were too busy
carrying men and munitions.
The situation in Spain has become
so acute a royal decree has created
national coal syndicate of all fuel
producers to stimulate production aud
regulate distribution and price. The
government stands behind this with
almost unlimited funds to explore new
coal areas, acquire better mining
mechanism and encourage mine labor
by model housing colonies.
The British have acquired a fair con-
troll of the coal situation. When the
war began there were about 100000
English mine workers. OF these 24O,-
900 enlisted. Coal production became
so curtailed the government tried to
return the enlisted miners to the
mines. No mine worker in England
can now enlist unless his enlistment is
certified by local tribunals.
In the United States a similar stu.
alton is faced. About seven men from

WAR IS: HARD ON
SMOKERS. FIFTY
PERCENT BOOST
Cigars and Tobaccos and Other
Forms of Weed Cost a Heap
More in Bismarck
DEALERS DECLARE THEY
ACT IN SELF DEFENSE

Holy smoke! War is all that Sher-
man said about it, declared the Bis
marck smoker when he laid down a
quarter yesterday for his favorite
smoke land in place OF the usual IF
teen cents received as change one
thin dime.
Cant be helped" said the to5ac-
conist. "TODacco has been adNanc-
ing right along, and now on top OF
everything else we have a war tax
of 81 the thousand on tenCent smokes
and dollar the thousand on the five
cent size, and we're forced to toost
the price in self defense"
And the price certainly has been
boosted. Fiye.cent cigars now sell at
seven cents, or four for 25; 10c. cigars
singly bring 10 cents land sell two
for quarter; all stogies that were
two and three for five are not five
cents straight. Small cigars formerly
III cents the packet now are Is or
two for rs land the Is cent boxes are
20 cents.
Five.cent cans of smoking tobacco
are s cents, or two for ID; Decent
sizes are ID cents, or TWO Tor 20,
scrap touacco is cents, or two for 10,
and lO-cent sizes are II cents or two
for 25.
All of the Bismarck tobacconists
with two or three exceptions have
joined in this fifty per cent flat
raise in the cost of smokes. 1t is
hitting the tobacco-user hard, but tho
dealers contend that without this in
crease in the retail cost their profit |
would be SO small that they would be
compelled to cease handling tobacco.
Amy way says the sweet young
thing, tobacco isn't like something |
to wear-you don't have to have it
to keep you warn or to look well,'
which shows how little sweet young
things really know of the exigencies
of eXistance from a male standpoint.

AS an aftermath of the baseball sea-
son just passed it is not amiss to con-
slider some of the really greats of the
game who passed out with the pei
nant race.
Scarcely year has passed that
some of the old time veterans of
many battles have passed in their
keys, never to punch the ball park
time clock again.
The season just passed sees the re-
tirement from the game of two, per-
haps three of the greatest perform.
ers of the last decade.
Eddie Plank, hero of many seasons,
retired this year, almost in mid.sea-
son, when he felt himself slipping
There were several good games left
in Plank's southpaw arm, but he re.
fused to remain in the game when he
knew he was not at his best,
Honus Wagner, who after announc.
ing his retirement last fall and came
back into the game at the request of
Barney Dreyfuss, did not finish the
season and probably never will play
again.
Wagner really did not want to get
into the harness this year, but felt he
was needed when the club made such
a miserable showing and went into
the game against his own wishes. =
Even Wagner was unable, to put
much pep into the collection of i'm
possibles Dreyfuss had banded tOgeth-
err, and late in the season left the club.
1t is practically certain he will new,
er wear monkey suit" again.
The last of the trio is Wahoo Sam
Crawford, big league favorite for
almost two decades.
No announcement has been made of
Crawford's s. retirement, but his record
last year - shows that, he is about
through and the infrequency, with
which Jennings used him indicates
that the Detroit pilot will not be will
ing to separate himself from a lot of
cash to keep him on the payroll in
1915 That any other club will buy
Crawford also seems improbable.
Crawford's retirement would be one
of the really pathetic incidents of
baseball for many years. -
Sam has long cherished an ambi-
ton to gather total of 5000 hits dur
ing his diamond career. r
His goal was in view at the start of
the season when he needed less than
100 to, reach that mark. His poor
work with the stick, however, has kept
him from realizing this ambition, and
it is doubtful whether he will ever
have another opportunity. n
There's another name which might
be casually mentioned in this connec-
tion-Johnny Evers.
The peppery little Trojan is almost
through. His high priced contracts
expired this fall, and if he does play
next year it must be at much lower
figure than he has received for years.
He}may refuseAto do this and retire.

1917 RACING IS
DISAPPOINTING
TO RECORD BUGS

The 1916 harness racing season
just closing was disappointing in some
ways, although very satisfactory in
others.
With few minor exceptions no
new records were set up for 1918 en-.
tries to shoot at The most notable
exception was that of The Real Lady
with a new record for hree-year-Old
trOtters.
The trotting queen stepped the mile
in 2:03, clipping half second from
Peter Volo's mark.
One of the disappointments of the
year was the failure of Miss Harris
NJ, the pacing sensation of 1916, to
lower Lady Maud C's record and be
thefirst pacing mare to step the mile
