PROCESSION RIVAL,
OF PIED PIPER'S

brought something to them In Bel
GUM, but, especially since the Ameri.
cans left, 1t had to be stretched long
way.
Aren't you hungry?' some one
asked one of the Belgian children.
"Why, no. the ten-year-old replied
II ate yesterday"
The trumpeters piloted them to the
Casino, where the women Of Evian
had laid out q breakfast. Six or seven
children, too weak to stand the miles
walk, were carried In the big Amert-
can Red Cross ambulances that trans
port the old men and women week
days, when the trains bring in the
French repatriates,
There was big celebration in the
Casino. The mayor of Evian made a
speech, but most of the children were
obviously much too tired to try to
puzzle out his big words. They were
much more interested in the band.
Thu hand played 'The Savoyard," the
anthem Of EVANS mountain province,
and then 1t played the "Brabanconne. +"
the national hymn of Belgium.
Those children stood up on the tables
to applaud and wave their handker-
chiefs! They knew it, every one of
them, although they had not been al
lowed to sing 1t out loud for three
years. Some Of them were so small
that they must have learned 1t behind
closed shutters. Off in corner half a
dozen little girls Joined hands and
danced.
Too Tired for Candy.
But they were tired out there were
one or two who were too tired to eat
the candy placed beside them-and
that Is very tired And in the middle
Of the second verse of the "Braban-
conne," one small son Of Belgium laid
his head on his arms and went to
sleep. And before the "Marseillaise"
was sung there were sleepy little
groups, oblivious to the noise about
them, at every table.
1t was dark when they entered the
Casino-much too dark for the pic
lures that ought to have been taken
of them--and it was still very gray
twilight when they came out.
One of the American Red Cross
nurses who was helping care for
them saw two little girls arguing
sleepily about something or other.
"N'est-ce pas?" the timer of the two

COAL MINERS ARE HELPING COUNTRY

Vital reasons for greater coal pro- duotion and conservation, sometimes unnotioed by the consuming public, is the big tonnage the American indus try is supplying our Allies over the sea. The biggest coal mines in France and in all Belgium were grab bed by Germany in 1914 and other valuable deposits were lost, for the time being, during the Hun advance in the early stages of the war.
 French production has dwindled to a negligible quantity, while Italy has practically no coal of her own. Great Britain could not nearly supply such demands as fell upon her for coal. The Welsh mines, on account of old-fash- toned labor methods, depletionA in the working force and ways of loading ships have materially failed to keep up with the war demands. The re- suit has been to throw an unusual demand upon the United States, which must be met.
 The anthracite industry has met the issue and the bituminous industry has also been called upon greatly. The fine mechanical facilities for loading coal at American ports has boosted the big supply overseas. The output methods in Pennsylvania and quick transportation to seaboard are matters of face now of international renown.
 The question of producing an expof' surplus, over and above the National and economic needs, has been solved by the industry with skill that has been praised by U. S. officials. The anthracite industry has taken front rank in the nation, fighting to gel out coal, the power behind the war.
 The soldier and the miner are twin American heroes. They are botf chasing the Hun back to Berlin. They are the blood and sinew of the Amer, ican force. To both must be g1veI the credit for final victory when Free
 dom and Democracy triumph over that Satanic military slavery whicl the Hun attempted to force upon thu world.
