BY INTERNAL WARFARE

STOCKHOLM, Feb. 19.-Germany's
new offensive against Russia on the
front between the Baltic sea and the
southern frontier of Volhynia comes
at a time when Russia's internal con-
ditions are most desperate from civil
war.
Advices received here today stated
that lighting is raging between Boil
shevik and anti-Bolshevik forces all
the way from Moscow to the Black
Sea. The tide of battle has swung
from side to side with the Red Guard
victorious at some points and the
Don CossRcks, Tartars, Ukrainisns,
Cossscks, and Roumanians victorious
at others.
Roumania now occupies a peculiar
position. The Roumanians and
Ukrainians are fighting the Bolshe-
Wiki side by side. Germans and Aus
trO-HungArians are also fighting on
the side of the UkrainianR, but q
state OF war still exists between Rou.

.STEELPRODUCTION
IS BELOW NORMAL,
MORE COAL NEEDED
By DAVID LAWRENCE.

NConLlnued from FlrsI Ha8e-I
Niagara Falls. The curves are all
downward.
All the steel mills were exempted
from the fuelless Monday order. but
their trouble has been that every day
was coalless. Some Of their difficult
ties have been due to the poor quality
OF coal they were receiving, the rail-
roads appIopriating products that
should have gone to the steel mills
while the transportation systems
could have used substitutes But this
Is being slowly corrected
The situation in a nutshell is this:
Our orders for steel are growing at
the rate OF so per cent. twice a.
much as we are producing. Our
shipments were last week only 60
per cent of outstanding orders though
this Is an improvement on the 40 per
cent average which prevailed in pre-
ceding weeks.
These shipments included accumu-
l. ted stocks which were moved with
the slight Improvement in railway
facilities. The percentage of pro-
duction last week went from 40 per
cent to 30 per cent. In other words
their full capacity and these figures
in the entire country.
Deliveries All HiEht.
There is no difficulty about deliv-
cries. Priority classification has
been obtained for tonnage almost
equal to that ready each week for
shipment
The steel industry OF the United
States has an almost impossible task
ahead. To file outstanding orders
IL no new demands were made-wOuld
require seven months work at 60 per
cent OF capacity production. Orders
are coming in faster than they can
be filled To obtain 100 per cent ca
pacity production requires coal To
get coal there must be un!ye. sal con-
servation and better transportation
but, above all, the use Of steel in non
essentials must be radically dimIn-
ished.
Our deliveries to date are enough
to fill present needs. But with the
development OF our shipping and ord
nance program more steel win be re-
quired. The answer is more space on
our railroads for coal cars, a curtail-
ment OF non-essential Industries that
use the railways and burn up coal,
and a greater conservation Of fuel
all around.
