with the launching of new ships
the requirments of the shipping
board have grown beyond all expec.
tations," says Fuel Administrator
Garfield, commenting upon the in
creased demand for coal. Beyond
whose expectations please? The
shipping board. despite recent ae-
CELEBRATION of ship work, is far be-
hind it's schedule. II Mr. Garfield had
asked the shipping board on April
how many of these ships it expected
to launch this summer and how
much coal those ships would require,
would he have gotten an estimate
below the requirements now being
made? He evidently made his esti-
mates on the slow progress the Ship
ping Board was making before the
country forced the administration to
abandon its procrastinating policy.
He also says hat the demand for
coal bunkering pos and for new
war industries has increased. Gar
field has evidently been taken by
surprise, for he underestimated thu
neds all along the line. He figured
that the prosecution Of the war
would drag along as it had been GO
ing, and that the persistent agitation
among the Republicans in Congress
for a speeding up of the war would
be Of no avail. He thought the ad-
ministration could satisfy the eoun-
try by merely talking about "carping
criticism" petty politics.. etc. But
the country took the side of the cri.
tics and insisted upon a speeding up,
with the result hat more GOAL is
needed than Garfield expected, and
he is out with another of his mourn.

the assertion of Railroad Admins
traitor McAdoo that there is an ade-
quate supply of cars. Says Garfield.
1.-THE fields named are working at

are the fields where transportation

Perfectly evident that either Gar

Mr.. Garfield has to do is to give M.

Of coal ears he needs al q particular

1t will be recalled that some lime
ago an Ohio State official, of Demo.
cratic persuasion, raised an awful
fog because his requisition for lead
pencils was filled by a consignment
Of pencils made in Germany. He de.
clined to use them, and his super
iors approved his stand. This was
cited by Democrats as a high exam
pie of patriotism. They wanted to
distract attention from the fact that
it was a Democratic tariff law which
had loaded our market with those
German pencils. Now the China PEN
Gil Co., capitalized by English and
Chinese, has commenced operations
with a factory in Shanghai, and the
manufacturers have their eyes upon
the United States as a big market
under the present tariff law. They
will not be German pencils, but we
will get Chinese competition. -. =.

some instances the Mexicans fur
