QUITTING THE KAISER

The dispatches yesterday intmated that the kalser
allies, Austria Bulgaria and Turkey were al getng
probable they would draw out and leave the kaiser to
fight alone This is most likely optimistic view OF the
situation Just now though it likely to happen LATER and
# is also probable it is the in which the war will
end The breach between the kaiser and the Austrian
emperor is widening daily and there is little chance OF 1t
being healed The Emperor Karl has known ever since
he succeeded Emperor Joseph that his country was beng
used to rake the kasers chesnuts from the fire. and that
If the kaiser won not only would there be nothing IN 1t
for Austria but that her reward for helping the kaiser
defeat his enemies would be absorption by Germany II
Germany wins there will be Austria, Turkey or Bull
garia other than such local government as Germany VIII
he willing to allow them The refusal of Germany to
keep the terms she had agreed with Russia gave Aus

doubt undertake to force Austria to do her bidding but
she will not succeed simply because under existing sS coma
make an active enemy of her principal ally, nor can she
even hope to win should that ally simply refuse to travel
further with her. The time for break may not have ar
rived vet but it is approaching and apparently is certain
to materiaize before the year 1913 ends.

Damage done last week to the APP
palachian Power and Light Company
At Roanoke has resulted in suspended
operations in approximately fifty coal
mines in Virginia and in West Nir-
Einia- which circumstance. coming dur
ing the present critical shortage In

OF the authorities at Washington. To
partly remedy the damage done. Rich
ard Hancock. chairman OF the local
fuel commission at LyDchburE. has
suggested scheme whereby miners
rendered idle in properties where
operations have been closed down ma ;.
be rendered useful by being trans
ferred 10 mines in other sections. This
idea impressed State Fuel Admtnis,ra
tor Byrd SO favorably that he at once
communicated II to the department or
the Federal fuel administrator. Dr.
Garfield. 1t is thought probable that
the plan Will be acted on. not only II
Virginia. but that it may be adopted
in other sections and other States.
The coal shortage in Virginia is
very acute, which is true Of practically
every State n the Union. Labor trou-
hles and railroad congestion have
helped 20 emphasize this unfortunate
condition. until it became imperative
that the Federal government take over

Mr.. Hoover as a man they all wanted
to keep on good terms with. because
he could deliver the goods"
Premier Lloyd George. proposing the
health Of the guests, paid glowing
tribute to Mr.. Hoover. He said that
through him America had achieved a
great triumph in securing a large num-
ber of people in Europe from want and
| starvation. There was now no fear
whatever, he declared, that the Allies
would be starved out.
Germany, continued the Premier, had
made the greatest gamble in her his

upon the success of the submarine cam
paign, and 1t had failed.
After comparing Great Britain's abun-

was not altogether u question of food.
II was a question of tonnage. America
was sending hundreds of thousands of

peared in great numbers on the battle

those crowning the brow of the Ameri-
can Republic. More were coming and
next year II would be a gigantic army
and 1t was a question of bringing sup
plies for that army.
This would absorb more tonnage thar
carrying the men themselves. America
was building ships at great rate and
| her program was a great success Great
Britain also was building as fast as she
could, but in addition to building she
had to keep her gigantic fleet repaired

ships must be done in Great Britain

had time to consider the underlying diff
ferences in ideals which separated civil
lized mankind into two bitterly opposed
camps, 1t had come to realize that per-
haps the most important of these diff
ferences was the treatment that should
be accorded by great States to small
States and by all States to each other.
1t was Austria's unprovoked attack
on Serbia. and Germany's attack on Bel
gium. he declared, which awoke the con-
science of civilized mankind to the ter
rors which militarism had for mankind
in the future and had gradually brought
in one nation after another to resist the
forces which would have drawn them ali
under the heel of Austria's master-the
German empire.
There was no comparison possible be.
tween what German victory would
mean and what an Allied victory would
mean. Nothing could be more certain
than that in proportion as the Allies
were successful so would spread the
Allies ideals of national liberty de-
velopment and independence. And moth.
ing could be more certain than that ir
proportion as the Germans were sue
cessful. so would the area under German
