The following excerpts are from an
article by Rev. Arthur Barry O'Neil,
G. S. c., of Notre Dame University,
in the Ecclesiastical Review. All edi-
tors we are quite sure, will concur in
what is said therein in reference to
the criticisms of certain clergymen OF
diocesan publications, many of whom
fail to go so far in cooperation with
the editor as to give a courteous re-
ply regarding parish news when called
on the telephone. Replies to the calls
from the editorial sanctums are often
given in Observation-Disclosures" tone,
plainly indicating his reverence thinks
he is being subjected to impertinent
cross-examination for the delectation
of some busy body Per contra if
something noteworthy happens at his
parish which is of general public in
terest and meriting publicity, escapes
the attention of the editorial cohorts
he feels grouchy and dissatisfied, and
may send his next order of job print
ing to an A. P. A. shop, rather than
take the trouble to call up the neglect
full editor. How many of these "self-
determined" critics ever take the in
itiative when it comes to furnishing
news stories for the Catholic week
lies? Few indeed. They must be Wis
tied or called up and if the editor for
gets to do so or fails to get them in
when he calls, he misses whatever
news there may be. 1t never occurs
to the party of the second part that
he might call up the paper himself
for the purpose of giving the infor-
nation.
Father Barry's analytical review of
the subject is broad, thoughtful and
Illuminating, and it's careful perusal

too ready to pounce upon the editor
of the religious paper for any real or
imagined sins of omission or commits

NEW WARNING ABOUT COAL.
Car Scarcity and Cut in Production Of
Bituminous.

Washington, ID. c., April ia warn
ing that the nation may face another
serious coal famine because of reduced
production in the bituminous fields, due
to car shortage and labor unrest, was
given yesterday by Fuel Administrator
Garfield. During the week ending April
6 production fell off 100000 tons, ere.
ating situation which gave the fuel
administration grave concern.
'Some part of this loss" DR.. Garfield
said, was due to failure of mine labor
on April /, Mitchell day, the anniversary
of the enactment of the eight hour law.
With the exception of two weeks during
the hardest weather of the winter, the
daily bituminous production was lowered
during the week ending April more
than at any time since the fuel admins
tration was organized.
"A large part of this falling off in
production, however, is due to the con
tinued lack of transportation service as
evidenced by the shortage Of cars placed
at the mines to be loaded. This is due
to the general pressure of war traffic on
the railroads.
Car shortage reports for the week
ended April are not yet available, but
for the week ended March 30, the mines
the country showed an aver
age loss in production due to car short.

SMASHING AUSTRIAN
DRIVE AGAINST ITALY
SAID TO BE IMMINENT
Is to Prevent Foch Transferring Reserves
from One Front to Another-Swiss
May Be Surrounded.

| Washington, April l7.--An Austrian
will be started on large scale, in the
opinion OF Italian observers as expressed
in official messages yesterday to the Ital-
ian embassy here. The recent visit of
| Emperor Charles to the Austrian front
and inspired articles in the Austrian and
German newspapers, the usual forerun
ners of an offensive, are taken as an in
dication The enemy press has begun to
speak openly of the offensive in order to
prepare the Austro- Hungarian public for
the inevitable losses resulting from such
colossal operations. The Vossische lei
tung Berlin in an article full of mys-
FERROUS allusions, says this spring win
put Switzerlands neutrality under the
severest test, as the Austro- German
troops will probably encircle the little
republic III the course of their operations.
The Mannheimer Anzeiger urges that the
German offensive in France be completed
with a similarly irresistible drive against
the Italians and against the British in
Palestine. The newspaper asserts that a
simultaneous offensive on all fronts
would prevent the transferring OF the al
lied reserves from one front To another,
which undoubtedly is part of the general
scheme of the allies supreme command.
The Budapest lrlap expresses the same
opinion and insists that since General
Foch is in supreme command the central
powers TRust attack Italy Immediately |
and carry the effect of their presence to |
the back of the French army.
