Campaigning for Coal.

II Is al least gratifying to have from
officials of the federal railroad admins
tration so blunt a statement as they is
sued yesterday concerning the coal stu
atijn These men have told the shipping
board that unless more vessels can be
put into service 10 carry fuel TO New
England out of Hampton Roads during
the spring and summer, this section faces
for next winter a shortage OF $4,000
tons in hituminous grades alone. Here
are facts of detinteness which cannot
be overlooked, which cannot be pigeon
holed as many plea was last autumn
upon the preteXt that it was no more
than selfish cry OF panic,
The anticipation OF still more strn-
gent conditions next winter, as now made
patent, must be the basis of more urgent,
more competent campaigning to increase
the mining and movement Of coal than
any the country has yet witnessed. And
the time for such action is now Every
day counts. The assumption that the
needs OF various sections of the country
could be met after the winter had settled
upon them has been forever exploded by
the experiences of l9l7-ls. If congress
sional committee desires to be of real
use, not after the bin has been emptied,
but in time to get it filled with real coal,
it will proceed at once TO determine
whether mining operations are still being
subjected to any least handicap that
could be removed, or shipping and rail
transportation left unprovided for in any
way that could be supplied. - Boston

To You.

Yours was a sunny nature
Yours was a happy smile
Yours was a heart OF the purest,
For YOU were lad worth while,
You we're there Just doing your duty,
II seemed cruel to have You 60!
You were young, 80 the hurt IS keener,
Oh! boy, we will miss you so.
You were there so we would remember
The Cause we were fighting for,
And while men like YOU stood brave
and true
With Gods help We would win this
war.
Last night had strange new dream,
The stars in the heavens seemed
To be the souls of those brave men
Who in answering the call Of duty
Had sacrificed willingly their lives;
And suddenly out in the night sky,
Lit with its many lights
Away off in the distance,
As if seeking better goal
Among the shining myriads burst
\ bright new star--your SOUL

the minimum income which comes under
the law. All these must file a return be

that our leaders in Washington would
