they will be able to get along with
less than ever before. They can also
help by being sparing in their use OF
electricity and gas, which are produced

In some States people have been
slow TO order coal because they have
not believed the zoning system would
be maintained. For instance, the man
In Kansas, who in former years got a
special brand OF Illinois coal that he
liked hopes to get It again this year.
Well he won't. Illinois coal Is barred
from Kansas under the zoning system.
II he IS a wise man, he will order Kan
sas coal or some other coal that is al
lowed in his State mad I'LL his bins

The people can also help by bringing
pressure to bear upon railroads, pub
lie utilities and owners Of big indus
trial plants These great consumers Of
coal should be filling their storage piles
now as far as possible. II they do so
during the summer, and the general
public absorb as much coal as pos
slble for their home bins, the coal

Again, Of these troops at least 10000
would ge required 10 defend the Indian
territories and garrison the forts on
the coast. SO there would remain but
10000 regular troops to take the field
against the invaders.
In addition to the regular forces, there
are about 10000 militia, but the great
er part OF them declined to obey the
call TO arms In the last week Further,
this militia is badly armed. A proper
tion Of them still carry muzzle-ioaders.
and as for drilling, that is even worse
than their lack Of proper equipment.
Even II the possibility of a surprise
invasion Is excluded from consideration,
owing to the length Of time which the
transport OF an invading army would
take, stress must be laid on various
sources OF American unpreparedness.
One is the absence OF regular prepara-
tion in peace time for mobilization; an
other Is the inexperience OF the Amer
lean General Staif; "a third is the weak
ness OF the Regular Army. These fac
tors in the situation would necessarily
accelerate German victory.
The invading army would have TO be
of considerable size, as 1t would be nec-
essary to provide for the lengthy oc-
cupation OF large area OF American
territory, to defend our lines OF COM
and TO engage in a success
ful offensive against all the forces
which the Americans could bring up
against us. Moreover, such operations
might be Of a protracted nature.
Such a campaign would be the more
difficult owing TO the long double jour
ney which our feet OF transports would
have TO make In order TO convey TO
America the requisite number Of troops
from so far away base as Germany.

A plan TO Invade the United States
(f90D.
OF late years we Germans have had
cause for political irritation with the
United States, due largely to CONNER
cial reasons Up TO now differences
have been for the most part settled
through our giving way. But a policy
Of surrender must have its limits.
The question for us 10 consider is
what plans must eventually be deyel-
oped to put a stop TO the overreachings
by the United States which are derti-
mental TO our interests. 10 is by armed
action that we must ultimately enforce
our win upon that country.
To achieve that purpose, our prime
instrument In this case is our navy. The
German fleet would have every pros
pect OF victoriously encountering the
naval forces of the United States, as
those forces are divided into two sec
tions separated by two oceans Atlantic
and Paoiflcb which are a great distance
apart. But tho defeat of her fleet
would not compel the United States TO
sue for immediate peace, because Of the
vastness OF her territory and the i'm
further successes at sea would not
force America 90 yield, partly because
her commercial ports are so well for
titled that we could not capture them
without heavy losses, and partly be-
cause II would be impossible for our
naval forces TO blockade them all ST.
multaneously. .a
We have 20 reckon on the possibil-
iiy that the American fleet would not at
lrst risk battles but would conceal
itself in fortified ports and walt there
for some favorable opportunity to
snatch partial success.
Il is evident, therefore. that. naval
operations alone would not suffice 10
bring about the result which we de-
sire. What Is needed is combined ac-
tion by land and sea- owing to the
vast area Of the United states u would
be out Of the question for an army
TO invade the interior with view to
the conquest Of the country. But there
is good reason TO expect that military
operations on the Atlantic coast would
prove to be a victorious enterprise.
Moreover, the cutting of OF the main
arteries through which exports from
the entire country pass would Greats
such depressed state Of affairs that
the government would be willing TO Of
fer us fair conditions Of peace.
II the German squadron were accom-
panied by fleet Of transports II may
be presumed that, once landing had
begun. II would only take four weeks
for a German army TO begin their cam-
paign on American soil. Within such.
short period OF time there Is no doubt
that the United States would be unable
TO place in the field forces as large as
our invading army.

PROGRESS IN COAL FIELDS
 AT MATANUSKA
More Coal is Being Pro- duced Employing Men and Is Being Con-

ANCHORAGE, May 28.---Work in the coal fields in the Anchorage dis trict continues to make fairly good progress.
 The Eska mine, operated by the Alaskan Engineering Commission in the Chickaloon field about 57 miles from Anchorage, is the heaviest pro- ducer in Alaska. It yields an ay- craze of about HOO tons weekly Tn production and development work. it employs 109 men.
 The Chickaloon mine, which is also operated by the commission and which is about "A miles from An chorafe, confines it's activities prin- cipally to development, very little coal being mined at the present time. It employs 35 men.
 Sumner s. Smith is superintend- ent of both the commission mines.
 The Netland mine, in the Chick aloon field. and the Baxter mine, in the Matanuska field, about 56 miles from Anchorage, are pushing de- yelopment work. Their outputs may be regarded as incidental to devel- opment. The Netland has IF men on it's payroll and the Baxter s. The Matanuska Coal company which operates the Baxter Mine recently sold to the commission 5000 tons of coal mined in the winter months.
 The Houston mine, about sixty miles north of Anchorage on the main line of the railroad, is pro- tailing it's output to residents of Anchorage.

HEADQUARTERS ITALIAN ARM Y May 2S.-The American Military Nils. sion is now one of the permanent es tablishments at Italian headquarters with extensive offices and a consid erable force of officers and men, in close communication with the Italian high command and with the various sections of the front.
 Thus far the work has been one of organization and observation, but soon there will be the active ser vice along the mountain and Piave fronts of some 1,500 officers and men of the regular army medical service, with thirty ambulance sections of ten or twelve ambulanecs to the sec tion, and later on there is the possi bility, much discussed of American troops in the fighting line. Already the American uniform is much in evi dence along the streets, and there is a distant sentiment of cordiality to ward the troopers in the broad-brim med sombero.
 Major General Eban Ewift, caval ry officer of long service, is at the head of the American mission. He was for time in France in confer ence with General Pershing, and then came with his staff to Rome and to headquarters. With him as chief of staff is Colonel John McA Palmer of the General Staff Corps. who was on the general staff at Washington when the constructive work on the new army was being done, and later was one of General Pershing's chief staff officers in France.
 Other officers of the mission are Colonel R. U. Patterson of the Army Medical Corps, Major Paul. es, Engineer Corps; Major Burgin, ordnance; Captains E. o.
