There will be big increase in the
burning of peat for fuel in Norway
during the coming winter. owing to the
difficulty of obtaining an adequate
supply of coal. The city of Tronhjem
recently acquired 400 acres of peat
fields and has purchased large peat
cutting machine for preparing the peat
for the consumer. The production Of
this fuel will be pushed with the ut
most vigor during the summer, and 1t
Is probable that other communities
than Trondhjem will be supplied with
peat from the new municipal plant, If
the supply is sufficient.

In speaking OF the havoc wrought by
the German submarines, the New York
World says that of all the neutral ma
tons Norway has been the greatest
sufferer. Continuing, the World says :
"In April rs Norwegian vessels were
sunk by German raiders and over 100
sailors lost their lives. In March GA
Norwegian vessels were sunk. and in
February Al; for the two months 49,
persons were reported killed or miss
ing. Up to April 3, according to the
figures published by the safe depart
ment at Washington. Of a total of CSC
neutral ships sunk by German subma-
rines, 41O were Norwegian. At the be-
ginning Of the war Norway's merchant
navy ranked fourth among those of the
nations of the world. outclassing
Frances. In the Inst three years Ger
man submarines have destroyed more

SPLENDID MESSAGE FROM BRAVE LITTLE
COSTA RIGA.

THE American policy Of fair dealing and square deal

fruit Many OF those countries while maintaining their
neutrality express entire sympathy with the attitude Of
the United States. The greatest OF them a-Brazil-

But to notion. the finest tribute to the United
States has been paid by the little Central American
republic Of Costa Rica This small state with popu
aton just about that OF the city OF Cincinnati and with
limited resources has a message TO the American
government which is OF the most splendid things
that has come out OF the war
It is exactly like the OF sympathy and under

"The Costa Rican Government considers that it is

"The republic Of Costa RIGA regrets that because OF
its lack Of material strength it cannot in this crisis

eral hundred daily passenger trains
we're withdrawn from service on Jan.
l. The average speed of passenger
trains has been reduced by the elimi-
nation of a number of fast express
trains. IL is stated that further adj
vances i'm passenger rates will be
made unless that already made re-
duces travel sufficiently. SO far there
has been a reduction of about 20 per
cent. in travel since Jan. ].
The absolute guarantee by the gov
eminent of the net returns of the
railways has made feasible the adop-
ton of a system of complete pooling
of freight equipment. Under war con-
ditiOns traffic has been 80 heavy that
many difficulties have been met in
securing an adequate supply of cars.
The important feature of the pooling
system is the elimination of empty
mileage. Only a few classes of cars
owned by the railways are excepted
from the pool and it is probable that
from 100000 to 100000 privately
owned cars will later be brought un-
der its operation.
The British governments guaran-
tee of net returns has been made suf-
ficiently elastic to provide for the
payment of return upon any new in
vestment that may have been made
in new lines Of branches. terminals,
equipment or other facilities since
January / 1918. The governmental
takes cognizance of the fact that
maintenance of roadway and equip
ment has not been kept up to normal,
and allows maintenance charges TO be
entered I'm the operating expense ac-
counts, regardless OF whether the
maintenance is actually done or is de-
ferred.
Mr. Parmalee points out that the
French railways have been subject
to similar influences in the matter OF
increased wages Of employees and in
creased cost of material. A new law
passed on account Of the increased
cost of living increases the wages of
employees by S16.O0O,00 The six
principal French railways which be-
fore the war were in a prosperous
condition have made deficits estim-
ated at S30000,000; but their divi-
dends also are guaranteed by the
government.
One feature OF railway operation in
great Britain under its emergency
system is, Mr. Parmalee says, highly
satisfactory. The railways have shown
themselves thoroughly efficient and
have rendered invaluable service to
the country. Not only have they
, handled ordinary traffic with reason
able promptness. but they have moved
/ troops as required and carried untold
quantities of munitions for the gov
eminent. This they have done not.
,withstanding the fact that 10000 of
their employees have entered military
/ service. this number representing q
per cent. Of their whole number oil
employees and so per cent of those OF
military age.
The expenses OF the railways oil
/ Great Britain. the Railway Age Ga
zette points out, have been subject tC
the same influences as those that pre-
vail in the United States. But the atti
tude OF the government is entirely
different. There the government
meets the added expenditure en-
tailed by a state OF war and the stock
holder suffers no loss Here. the rail
ways must look to increases in thei
rates for the protection Of their ne
return, if it is to be safeguarded.

That Clark at the eleventh hour has thrown the
weight OF his influence against what the President and
his advisers say necessary for the safety and mill
tary effectiveness Of the country docs surprise
those who followed the OF this alleged state
man.
The one absorbing passion OF Champ Clarks life for
tho past years has been jeaously and hatred OF
the President Thousands OF Delawareans remember
the seL.atonal fight between tho Wilson men and the
Clark men in the Democratic National Convention in
Baltimore.
He has made himself believe that Wilson cheated him
out OF the Presidency and he has missed chance
to vent his spleen.
We have no doubt whatever that the motive which
now impes Clark is personal feeling against the Pres

Il is hard TO believe that a man who has been hon

as has Clark would stoop sacrifice the interests OF
his country to the purpose Of getting with per-
sona and political foe.
But OF such stuff many alleged statesmen made
