Of transporting coal for our own DO
mestic needs. On top of these dimcul-
ties has come one of the most terribly
severe winters we have known In
years.
.aThe wheels were choked and stop
ped: zero weather and snowbound
trains: terminals congested; harbors
with shipping frozen in; rivers ana ca
nails impassabIe-it was useless to con-
tinue manufacture and pile confuslon

More Than Shock Needed.
more than a shock was needed to
make a way through that congestion at
the terminals and on the docks so that
the aid so vitality needed by the allies
could get through.
portation situation on coal production
has been disastrous. There is and al
ways has been plenty of fuel, but II
cannot be moved to those places where
it is SO badly needed while railroad
lines and terminals are choked.
Throughout the coal fields scores: even
hundreds, of mines are lying idle be-
cause of railroad inability to supply the
cars to carry away their product. Coal
mines cannot operate without cars.
Cars cannot be supplied while the rail-
roads are crippled by the present
freight congestion. which keeps idle
cars lying useless in the freight yards.
I'm the past week the production of
coal has been disa strously reduced. Re
ports in some cases have shown 80 per
cent of the mines in certain fields closed
completely for lack of cars.
This is war! Whatever the cost. we
must pay it SO that in the face of the
enemy there can never be the reproach
that we held back from doing our full
share. Those ships laden with our sup
plies of food for men and food for guns
must have coal and put to sea-"

 NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Luis Ca brera, formerly minister cf finance of Mexico. just returned from 25.- 900 mile tour of South, America, whither he went last December to attend a conference of Latin American neutral nations at Buenos Ayres, de- clared today his trip would. in an indirect way contribute to a better understanding and more cordial rela- tiOnship between Mexico and the United States Mir. Cabrera expressed the belief that the recent natiOnaliza- ton of the oil and mineral lands of Mexico would not interfere with pro ductiOn and that the allied fleets would still be able to obtain all the fuel they required at Tampico and Tuxpam. At the present time, he said, the allied countries did not have ship bottoms enough to carry Mex ico's entire output of oil and under the new plan the production would be greatly increased.
 Charges of prO-Germanism in Mex icO were denounced by Mir. Cabreara, who insisted a strict neutrality was being observed.

TIN HAT SAVES MARINE

 PARIS, July S0.-The case of one American marine who went through a hail of shrapnel and machine gun fire at Cantigny and is now convalescing from a wound in the great American Military hospital at Neuilly, in the Paris suburbs, seems to nave demon strated that the American field lel- met, commonly called by soldiers, the tin hat" is thoroughly reliable art iele when put to the supreme test. This marine owed his life to his tin hats' and the peculiar qualities of it's steel in giving slightly without shat tering. In the mdst of the action he went down with a ball striking the top of the helmet and pressing down to the skull. He was brought back along with the helmet which showed a deep intention about the size of a baseball It was this intention which had pressed down to the scalp, making wound which required trepaning. But there it stopped and the metal of the tin hat after giving to the missile until it's force was spent, had stopped it in its deadly flight straight towar-. thG bAdiu.

 The indented helmet was preserved, not as a souvenir. but to be forwarded to the ordnance experts at Washing ton to show them the good qualities of their helments. It is said that a hard and brittle steel, which would have resisted without giving, would have been shattered to bits by the i'm pact and the ball would have gone straight through the brain.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 21.-Six days spent as a prisoner on a German sub marine, which was so crowded with men that there was scarcely room to sleep. convinced Captain David Evans of the British steamer Penistone, sunk by the U-bOat, that more exploits like the arming of the steam trawler Tri- umph are contemplated by the Ger man raiders. On his visit here, where he reported his experience to naval officers, Captain Evans eX- plained that the submarine carried v men, more than twice a normal crew.
 "The U-boat which sunk the Peni- stone and which was my prison for six days was 200 feet over all and carried two six-inch guns" Captain Evans said after telling of thee ir- cumstances which led to his capture. These guns were not protected from the water in any way when the U-boat submerged The breach apparently was water tight and the muzzles were securely plugged when the guns were not in action. They were kept well greased.

MERCHANT HIAARINE .ON TIME SCHEDULE
Rv aevlew Leasea Wlrel

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Every six minutes a merchant vessel arrives and another departs from American ports. From North Atlantic seapOrts, there is a departure every eleven minutes; and one for Europe every forty min utes. This rate of operation does not include vessels in the service of the army or navy.
 The merchant fleet of 1500 ships un- der the control of the shipping board are run as railroads on a time sched- ule The duty of measuring ships performances with their tasks ls lodged with the planning and statis- tics division of the shipping board, headed by F. H. Gay, formerly dean of the Harvard Graduate School Of Business.
 Obviously, the division must know the tasks in details, and so it co-ordi- mates with the war industries and war trade boards in determining and pro- viding for the country's needs for abroad It works on month to month schedules or as far in advance as it is feasible or possible to forecast.
 Tn planning the use of ships. the di- NAclOA MOA ho hAAl NlAC AOAA flAAAAAAAAelNAeN eN tion it determining the shipping re- Quirements for food; with the war department in cOrrelating shipping with the requirements of the line of supplies to the western front; with the war industries board in seeking solution of the problem of bringing necessary raw imports into the coun- try, and with the war trade board in preparing the lists of essential i'm ports and exports.
 As the country has gone more and more on war basis, it has been re garded necessary to limit the list of essential imports to less than a hun dred. Data on the ships and their trade provides the basis for operation of the vessels under the shipping boards control Likewise, records are kept of neutral vessels coming to this country or linking up with its foreign trade. Thus the division checks daily about 1000 vessels, 1500 of them being those of the shipping board, 5000 en- gagged directly in American commerce and 2500 scattered over the globe and trading for the most part with the al- lies or their colonies. Roughly. one fourth of the merchant ships of the world are watched by the shipping board
 Ship performances against tasks are recorded by progress charts" which show at a glance what the vessels have to do and how they are doing it. Each set of charts is divided into ten divisions-one each for move ments of vessels, turn-arounds. ships charts of commodities, individual com modity charts, summary of imports, individual trades, summary of trades, ship charts of exports, performances in ports, and dock performances. Cop ies are distributed every ten days to governments which require constant information about the movement of supplies.
 By these movement charts, all in- formation regarding locations and movements of vessels is accessible, and from past records, due, may fore cast the time of future voyages.
 The summary on shipping and trade, prepared every ten days for the war industries and war trade boards and the food administration, help shape the larger policies underlying the use of American ships in war time. The charts tell whether the

By comparing import require ments against deliveries, the charts show when vessels may be transferred from one trade to another or released to the army.
