Time to Think of Coal

Very vivid pictures are those which
our correspondent Mr.. Knappen has
contributed this week on the coal situa-
ton. He draws attention to the fact
that one-third of ali the rail transport of
America is for coal alone. In some sense
coal is the very breath of our industrial
life. All the available horse power (real
horses) and all the available water
power in the country shrink into insig-
niicance beside the colossal output of
energy that springs from the hidden
forces of coal. The very large part of
this energy is used in our industries;
only relatively small part goes to heat
our homes and keep us warm. But it is
a very vital part, and unless DR.. Gar
field, before the winter opens, can assure
us of an adequate supply of house and
Office heating coal the nation will vent
it's dissatisfaction upon his head.
Last winter many excuses were posi-
BILE. There was hopeless bungle in the
rail situation, caused very largely by
government priority orders. There are
no such excuses available now. There
has been no serious rail congestion for
months.
We have had tremendous exhortations
to lay in coal early, but if we may judge
from reports all over the country the
majority of those who have ordered their
coal ahead have been unable to get the
goods Mr.. Knappen says that four
weeks ago the coal producers told DR..
Garfield and President Wilson how we
could get the coal. But he declares
that up to the present time no action has
been taken thereon. To date bituminous
coal deliveries are 100000 tons be-
hind the minimum requirements. The
deficit must be made up between now and
October l or we shall have to stop the
wheels of thousands of industries and
have workless weeks again. A. R. Ham
llton, chairman of the production COM
mittee of the National Coal Association.
says that to his personal knowledge many
great essential industries are having the
greatest difficulty even now in securing
an adequate supply.
1t is difficult to realize the narrow
margin between famine and plenty. AS
Mr.. Knappen puts it, 32 per cent of rail
road transportation allotted to coal
means deficit and disruption; 36 per cent
means plenty of coal for all purposes.
1t is a question Of transportation. 1t
seems Incredible that after all these
months of preparation we should not be
sure OF the 36 per cent which is impera-
lively needed. The government now con-
trols the Transportation.

where within the Hapsburg empire!
The suppressed Slav peoples are in re-
volt. And now Austria and Hungary are
turning against each other.
They have long been associates in
spoliation and oppression. But they
have always hated each other cordially.
Only a joint predatory interest held
them together. But former bedfellows
make the bitterest of enemies. Such an
accusation as was voiced in the Hun
garian Parliament could only mark the
imminent collapse of a longstanding
criminal partnership.
When tyrants fall out subject peoples
come to their own. Day is breaking for
the Czechs, Slovaks, Slovenes, Poles,
Ruthenians and Italians who have long
been under Austria's or Hungary's heel.
Their German and Magyar masters are
beginning to rend each other. The end
of the Dual Monarchy, called by DR..
Wilhelm Muhlon chat outworn, harsh,
egoistic, rapacious, hypocritical con-
glomeration--that colossus with feet of
clay" is near at hand Austria and
Hungary are getting ready to tear at
each others throats among the ruins.

"The Subway Sun"

Pathos is sad enough-and how pa
thetic figure Mr.. Shonts is the sta
tistics of receipts and expenditures of
his road make all too plain. But pathos
unappreciated, a pathos chucllled at,
scoffed at, is something far, far worse.
And goodness knows how sadly msym-
pathized with are all the great salt tears
with which Mr.. Shonts is decorating the
windows of his soul!
There is superpathos, indeed! Let us
suppose that it was all a mistake and
that Little Red Riding Hood was really
a clever young brat and thoroughly did
the kind old bear out of a nights lodg-
ing and beat it away with lunch and the
family spoons. Would it be possible at
this date for all the bears in creation
writing sob stuff night and day for a
million years to rectify the decision of
history?
Mr.. Shonts has more faith in the
powers of literature So he writes and
writes and writes. What pity that he
did not happen to notice away back in
the beginnings of things that his subway
cars were occupied by fragile human
beings, with souls and tempers as well as
nickels!
New-York tribune., 1918-07-27

facturers who are now engaged in assall-
ing Washington with kilograms and dele
gates in protest against the curtailment
in this direction or that. We wish the
whole nation could wake up to the fact
that every shortage, every delay, every
strike, means a prolongaton of the war.
This country can do great deal more
for war, but only at Il temporary sacr-
flee of business and manufacture. We
are sure that if the people could but be
made to feel that this sacrifice would
shorten the war no manufacturer or
worker in the country would hesitate to
make every needful sacrifice. We should
have slogan to embody this spirit If
we were all aflame with the thought of
getting through next year" we could get
all the steel and ships and munitions and
goods that are needed. 1t would save
this nation billions upon billions of dol
lars and tens and tens of billions in
trade.

The Same Salute
an

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Why cannot women use the same
flag salute as men? Why cannot we learn
the hand salute as learned by men? 1t is
involuntary with me, and I use it with
out thought-many times it seems the only
thing possible-as when meeting in New
York street crowd the two uniformed men
on crutches, each with one leg missing.
They stood for Old Glory they had my
homage, and were pleased.
The suggestion to lay the hand on the
heart is good, but the gesture would not
be visible in crowd apd is open to ques.
ton. One might be searching for miss
ing handkerchief or trying to determine
the safety of pin or chain.
Bowng the head is good also. But We
women want to see Old Glory as it passes
by. And again the question-one might
bend to investigate some article of ap-
pare.
Moreover, q crowd of women with bowed
heads could never inspire band of march
ing men. They want to have us look. Oh,
yes, we know! And we want to look, rest
assured.
SO please allow US equal rights in this
oes'-ol-ah salute. +. E. D. NJ

Still Ships, Ships, Ship.

In his speech in honor of "our Mr..
Hoover" Lloyd George said that the food
problem had been solved, but that the
tonnage problem was not. America will
soon have gigantic army in France.
and we shall need enormous tonnage to
bring supplies, greater tonnage than
that needful to get the men across.
At the same time Mr.. Schwab is telling
us that we are half million tons short
in our present supply of ship steel. In
the face of present production exceed
ing forty million tons of steel year this
seems an absurdly small amount, but the
output of ship plates will not equal the
present demand unless the plants that
produce them can be run at full capacity.
They are not up to their capacity now.
In the steel plants as in shipyards is the
same old story Of shortage Of workers.
We wish all these facts could be brought
home to our business men and manu.

Tempo of the Red Terror in Russia

The dispatch of the Bolshevlk Min
lister Tschitcherin to the German gov
ernment stating that the murder of Won
Mirbach had been avenged by the exc
cution of 200 members of the Left or
Moderate Socialist party prompts specu-
lation as to how long the Red Terror
may hold on in that stricken land
The French Revolution presents the
nearest historical parallel; we have
already noted that from the outbreak
Of the Revolution in '98 to the execution
of Louis XVI was just two years and
half. From the outbreak of the Russian
Revolution to the shooting of the
wretched Nicholas was less than a year
and a half; to be accurate, Just sixteen
months.
The Reign of Terror in France is
generally reckoned to have begun with
the establishment of the Revolutionary
Tribunal, with the Infamous Fouquer-
Tinville as "director of the jury" in
March Of '93. 1t closed with the exc
cution Of seventy-one members Of the
Commune in July Of '94. Robespierre
and his companions had been beheaded
the day before. In this period of fifteen
months it was reckoned that about IT,
600 persons, including Marie Antoinette,
had been executed under form of law.
But the number of those who were shot,
drowned or otherwise massacred was
never known.
The French Reign of Terror, it will
be seen, did not begin until year and a
half after the execution of the King.
In Russia it seems to have begun within
eight months after the fall of the Moder-
ate Socialists, though these eight months,
as all accounts agree, have been bloody
enough. If the same relative tempo
should be maintained, we might look for
the fall, and execution, Of Lenine.
Trotzky and the rest of their pirate crew
by the middle of next winter. This
might readily coincide with the time
when the predicted famine in Russia
would become acute and the inevitable
results of the present prostration of
business and industrial activity would
begin to be felt.

For Those Who Die for Their

It is an intensely personal matter, the
expression Of ones grief for a member
Of ones family killed in the service of
his country. Yet we think President Will
son has done we'll to approve the sugges-
tion of the Women's Committee of the
Council OF National Defence that a
black sleeveband bearing gald star be
thus worn. No one expects universal con-
formity. Every one will be glad of a
unique insignia designed to express a
grief and pride surely unique among
human emotions.
The wearing of black is neither suit
able nor right. The loss is not the less
the sorrow is not the less. But the loss
and the emotion are something more
than personal. They are part, tragically
inescapable part, Of that magnificent
sacrifice which our whole nation is law
ing on the altar of liberty and justice
and humanity. We shall honor not only
our own dearly beloved dead, but the
heroes of great cause. We shall need
to express beyond grief the loftiest pride
known to man.
New-York tribune., 1918-07-27

That Pastor Dryander, of Munich, who
wanted to know about the Kaiser's sons.
and just how many of them had been
killed or wounded, has evidently passed
his lie long, long way from Berlin.
He has no sense for the higher stuff of
the heart, the true, tender Prussian
heart, whatever How, we should like to
know, could the Kaiser bleed his heart
over Louvain, poor, dear France and his
own loss soldiers (the sons of other Ger
man fathers, that is) if he were contin
ually grlevng over his own flesh and
blood? Doesn't the pastor know any
thing about Kaiser at all?
New-York tribune., 1918-07-27
The Hapsburg Day Of Wrath

Hungary has been stirred to the DEPTHS
by the Piave disaster. The government
made dismal effort to explain away
the slaughter in Northern Italy. A
member of the ministry admitted in
Parliament that the losses in the Piave
operation were not less than 100000.
"They were all Hungarians," wrath
full Deputy called out. And the people
of Hungary believe that he told the
truth.
An interesting reflection of the feeling
in Budapest is found in an address lust
issued by Joseph Proper, president of
the Magyars of Massachusetts,. In this
address the Vienna government is
charged with deliberately sacrificing the
Magyars. "The big purpose" he saws.
was to decimate Magyar man power
and render it inefficient against Austria,
the hereditary enemy"
Mr.. Proper adds:
"The destruction of the Hungarians in
Italy is a loss pregnant with present gain
to both Germany and Austria. Wilhelm
Hohenzcllern gradually seeks and de-
signs trouble between the states of the
(DuaD Monarchy in order to enable him
to acquire the Hapsburg dominions and
to force or cajole upon Hungary the
curse Of one of his sons donning the
crown of Saint Stephen as Apostolic
King.
1--WE expect you to talk over the
wrongs committed upon you in the
Forradalom of 1S4s and to talk to each
other Of this recent outrage and treason.
where your relatives have been deliber-
ately led into that murderous manele Of
the Piave as q measure of decimating the
man-stock Of Hungary"
