NEW COAL MINES
MUST BE DEVELOPED
FOR WAR INDUSTRIES

Washington, Aug. l6.-Shortage
of by-product coal, essential to steel
production, including the smokeless
variety essential to the navy has
reached such alarming proportions
it is learned, that the government
may have to curtail so-called lesser
essential industries more drastically
than contemplated when the fuel
need of war industries first made re-
strictions on consumption necessary
81 The fuel administration is now
taking, wherever it can be found,
every ton OF this grade of coal from
those industries which may use 9TH
er grades, including steam coal, just
as well. With the government steel
requirement approaching the 23,000,-
000-ton mark for the remainder of
this year and many blast furnaces
threatened with shut down
through.the lack Of by-product coal,
the fuel administration and war in
dustries board are joining forces not
only to stop private boarding, but
to develop additional coal fields.
The railroad administration is be-
ing urged to authorize track extern
sions to new fields.

WHEN THE WAR ENDS. THEN
WILL THE UNDER CRUST
BE MERRY, is WARNING.

London. July 10.-(Correspond-
ence OF The Associated Press
There is a new land confronting
u.s." said Premier Lloyd George in
a recent speach. What manner of
country it will be" he continued will
depend on how the war goes and on
how things go after the war.
81 am more confident today than
I have ever been, and for reasons
it would not be relevant for me to
enter on at the moment; but one
OF the latest reasons is the impress
sion made on me by the American
troops ! saw in France. They are
superb in material and in training.
and in the way they have borne
themselves in the trying conditions
of battles they have fought. found
4 great spirit of confidence which
strengthen our convictions of vic
tory.
The war has upset everything
and when il is over the falling back
into normal conditions will be
another disturbance. There will he
a great social and eeomic dis
turbance.
There are two alternatives. One
that the war will have sobered the
millions who have passed through
fires. whether in France or in the
anxieties at home. Their vision will
have been broadened. their sympathy
deepened. their outlook and purpose
made clearer, firmer and more
exalted. There are millions who have
been in daily contact with death,
walking hourly over its trap doors.
They have come into contact with
very terrible realities. That is one
view.
The other is that there arc mil
lions who for these years have en-
dured privations, discomfort, wretch
'edness. as well as pain and terror.
and who have made up their minds

With the British Army in France,
August l4-(Reuters)-The Hebu-
ternc salient has practically disap-
peared as result of the German re-
tirement in that sector of the front.
The British have now pushed their
posts far toward Bucquoy. General
Ludendorff's recen order that
ground must be given up if holding
il would entail undue expenditure
of man power, is believed to be large
ly responsible for the German with
drawal. The wonderful success of
the light British tanks has probably
impressed the German high COM
mand with the desirability OF get
ting behind the River Ancre wher-
ever practicable.

AIR SQUADRON
GETS SPECIAL
WEATHER DATA
WHEN THEY GO ON LONG
FLIGHT MUST BE
PREPARED.

A British Aerodrome Somewhere
in France, July 30.-Correspondence
Of The Associated Press)-An hour
before dusk, weather reports from all
parts of France, as we'll as from
London and the English coast. begin
pouring into the office of the Might
Bombing Squadron. When ma
chimes are going on a long flight to
bomb German towns, it is very desir-
able to know what weather may be
expected.
By means OF little balloon whose
speed and direction, as it soardss up
ward, is registered by special in
strument, the direction and foorce
Of the wind at different levels is dis
t ered. This information tells the
airmen what course he must steer
and what allowances he must make
for DETECTION and winddrift.
The pilots and observers are called
into the mapping office and the
order for the night are read aloud
by the Commanding Officer. Maps
are collected, and photographs Of
the objective are examined, so that
the airmen may familiarie them
selves with the surroundings as they
appear from the air.
Then they hurry away to their
rooms, and get ready for the long
flight through the cold night skies.
Heavy sweaters are donned and
soft leather thigh boots lined with
white fleece are pulled on over
thick wooden stockens. Mufflers are
wrapped round necks aud mouths.
The airmen climb into overall suits
of water proff maeterial lined with
long black fur. These are securely
strapped at ankles and wrists. Fur
lined leather helmets and goggles
are put on, and yellow whale oil is
smeared over the face to prevent
frost bite. Then, gathering up their
thick fur gloves, their torches and
maps, their sanwiches and vacuum
TASKS, their notebooks and pencils,
the airmen straddle awkwardly out
to the aerodrome where the great
machines stand silently in dim line,
ready to brust into life at the order
to start.
The first of the big machines
slowly takes across the aerodrome,
turns to face the wind, halts little
and then, gathering momentum
every second, it rushes across the
grass and climbs up into the night
till it can no longer be seen, and its
two big wing-tips lights, like fiery
eyes, alone show where it moves in
the darkness. For several minStes
its pulsing drone can be heard as it
climbs in great circles over the aero
drome. Every eye is turned upwards
watching the little lights. Suddenly
a ball OF red appears in the sky,
drops slowly, and dies out. 1t is a
signal describing the weather con-
ditions up aloft, and conveying an
order to those on the ground.
One by one the high machines
glide out into the middle of the field,
thunder across the grass, and rise,
soaring to the stars. For a time,
their murmer fills the skies. but soon
a heavy silence descends on the aero
drome, while in the Fast beyond the
German lines, can be seen the pale
fingers og the cropping searchlights.

CAPTURE OF BAKU IS
IMPORTANT AID TO
ADVANCE OF BRITISH

Washington, Aug. l6.-Arrival OF
British troops at Baku, Russia, is
considered here as highly important,
because it opens way in that part
of the world for allied aid to
Czecho-Slovaks and loyal Russians.
Some weeks ago body of British
soldiers succeeded in pushing from
Mesopotamia through to Resh.
Ships were acquired at Enzeli, the
seaport of Resh, and it is no doubt
it is this force that has reached
Baku.
Movement from Baku to the coun-
try controlled by the Don Cossacks
offers few practical difficulties. Pro-
viding the Georgians are friendly
as it is believed they are in spite
of the fact that Georgia made sep
arate peace with the central powers,
the British force can reach Darrell
pass which is the easiest route
northward.
London, Aug. l6.-The allied
Archangel expeditionary force has
reached Pabereshskai 100 miles
