Socialists Will
End World Wars,
Says Hillquit
Must Work Now for Broth
erhood of Internationalism,
He Tells $500 Followers

Thirty-hve hundred Socialists at
the New Star Casino yesterday heard
Morris Hillquit tell that the world can
be made safe for democracy only
through world brotherhood interna-
tonalism. Mr.. Hillquit favored the
Socialist route 7to this condition.
Think, if the Socialists had been in
control of the governments of Ger
many. Austria, France. England and
Russia" he said, chow many rivers
of blood, how many oceans of tears,
could have been spared this world
s"How much more joyous mankind
might be to-day! But it is useless to
lament on the past. You have it in
your power to make the government
Of the world by the pacific, progressive
working class a, reality.
''lt was the capitalistic class in Ger
many, not the working class, not the
Socialists, that started this war. We
claim, that there will be no end of
wars SO long as the capitalistic class
exists. Socialists must build up
strong party to force peace. If this
great war is to be atoned for by any,
thing at all, it shall be by this condi-
ton: that this war goes down in his
tory as the last of all wars.
at is the duty of the Socialists in
the Central Powers to overthrow their
governments. But we on this side,
while the war is going on. must work
to upbuild foundation for world
brotherho ood."
Mr.. Hillquit gave his hearers to un-
derstand he does not envy Mayor Hy-
Ian his job.
II am perfectly content to have
Brother Hylan ride across from Brook
lyn on the B. r. T. and write his
clumsy letters" he said. "I did not
want the job as job. Maybe in the

Operators Warn of
Another Shortage
Of Coal in Fall
Serious Situation Inevitable
Unless Traffic Conditions
Improve, They Say
[Staf Correspondence

WASHINGTON, April 2S. - Btum-
nous mines nearly reached the high
point in production during the week
ending April 20. according to figures
made public to-day by the Geological
Survey. Total production for this week
is estimated at II 100000 net tons, an
increase Of 100000 tons over the pre-
vious week and close to the apex of
March ., when bituminous mines
turned out 1,265,00o tons.
This increased production during the
last week, while an appreciable gain
over the preceding month, only APP
proXimatcs the nine output of last
November, and is far from satisfactory
to officials of the fuel administration
or to the National Coal Association
representing the bituminous operators.
The latter, in statement issued TO-
night, declares that another coal short
age more serious than that of last
winter is inevitable unless there is :.
reimbursement Of traffic on Eastern rail
roads which will increase facilities for
coal transportation.
considering the Eastern transportation
situation, with a view TO expediting
coal movements. 1t is probable that
the location of additional war indus
tries in Eastern states will be prohibit
ed. Every addition to Eastern indus
trial operations, 1T is pointed out, fur
ther complexities traffic problems.
Operators Tell of Menace
"The enormous demands of other war
industries are crowding coal off the
rails, and the resultant continued
shortage of cars at the mines has cut
production to the danger point" the
National Association asserts in its
statement.
"This is the season of the year when
the mines should be working at the
against the needs of next fall and win
ter" it continues. "The mines, how
ever, are not working at top speed, nor
at rate even approaching top speed
In the face Of the heaviest demand for
coal IN the country's history the mines
have been so hindered by insufficient
car supply that they have made little,
II any, headway over last years record
"a record which fell 50,O00,O0O tons
snort OF meeting the nations demands.
Opinions of operators in the great
producing area east of the Mississippi,
which furnishes more than 80 per cent
OF the cOuntry's bituminous coal. re-
quested by the National Coal Associa
ton, are almost unanimously to the ef-
feet that the coal shortage next winter
Will be worse than that of last winter
unless the mines are furnished suffi-
clent cars to enable them to increase
materially their present rate of pro-
duction.
"lt is. understood that the railroads
are hauling far more traffic as whole
than they ever hauled before 1t is
evident, therefore, that freight of other
classes than coal is responsible for all
or practically all of this increase it
New-York tribune., 1918-04-29

would seem that the time has come for
the War Industries Board, or whoever
is running the war, to decide upon a
readjustmcnt of traffic ever the Eastern
railroads SO that coal may be handled
IN sufficient tonnage to take care of the
industrial and domestic requirements of
the Eastern states.
"Unless such readjustment is made
very soon there will be inevitable in
terference with the war programme and
serious shortage of domestic fuel in the
New England, Atlantic, Middle West
ern and other states throughout the
year
"Operators in Pennsylvania fields in
form the National Coal Association
mat IT is the consensus of opinion that
the coal shortage next winter will be
worse than last. Car shortage is at
present the main factor limiting pro-
ductlon. Lack of steady work, due to
the car shortage, has driven labor away
from the mines, and the present pros
pect is that both labor shortage and
car shortage will be serious factors this
fall '''i'
".'We are facing a shortage just as
serious as, and possibly more serious
than, that of last year. operators in
West Virginia fields have telegraphed
tRe National Coal Association.
ONO producers, with full time
output Of 6o,ooo,ooo tons annually. re-
port: Tens of thousands of tons of
coal are lost daily for lack of trans
portation facilities. The coal thus lost
cannot be made up later in the sea-
SON.
'unquestionably we are approach
ing another serious coal shortage,' the
National Coal Association is advised
py tennessee producers. The average
car shortage in these fields for the first
three months of the year has been
about 25 per cent

port that unless car supply and labor
conditions improve we are going to face

The latest official summary of the
United States Geological Survey shows
that with full time output of is 500,

az during the week ending April 13 but

shortage was approximately 100000

France to Keep Orphans al Home
To Make Citizens After the War
Americans Who Desire to Help Are Urged to Provide
Scholarshps-Red Cross Working on Plan to
Educate Children of Men Slain in Battle

general, we must try, not to take chill
dren to America but rather to give
them here the best possible care. For
that. matter, Americans can, by corrc-
spondence, keep in touch with the par
ticular children they are befriendlng.
"The first valid American attempt
over here 70 assist war orphans was
in the form of special school for true
war orphans (that is. those whose
mothers and fathers are both dead).
This is Mrs. Barclay Parsonss school
at Etretat, which now takes care of
twenty or thirty children. The Ecole
dc Rochcs' also has the idea of Civ
ing travelling scholarships in America
to French orphan students whc show
talent, and, as you know, Mrs. William
Astor Chanler has developed certain
plans for the exchange Of students be-
tween the two countries"
Cares for 10000 Children
Asked how many children the Ameri-
can Red Cross was actually reaching,
Dr.. Lucas replied that up to February l
the chiidren's bureau OF the A. r. c..
had reached 10000 children.
"Ths figure" said DR.. Lucas, Gin
cludes all our hospitals and dispen-
saries at Evian, where children are re-
patriated from Germany and Belgium
and occupied French territory, and
where children are examined by Ameri-
can doctors and nurses. 1t also in
cludes our hospital at Toul, that has
grown now to 200 beds, and our dispen-
sary work at Toul, through which we
are reaching twelve villages by auto
mobile dispensary.
with the establishment of two
health stations at Amiens there has
been completed recently what amounts
to chain Of hospitals stretching back
of the lines practically along the en-.
tire front in France. The surgeon Of
one of these hospitals is in consulta .
tion from time to time with the staff
of the next hospital-that is, in con-
sultation with the next hospital-and
so on. Thus is formed the health chain
that stretches from point to point clear
across France. From each point trav-
elllng clinics penetrate into stated
areas. caring for every available child
even in the smallest villages.
This idea of travelling clinics op-
Grating from field base l regard as a
new factor in public health work,
French or American.
"Work for the civilian population on
very much the same lines as we follow
from west to east in France is carried
on by United States army surgeons
throughout the American military zone,
and this completes the chain of hos
pitals and dispensaries which bridges

Shanghai Newspaper De-
clares Japan Gets Virtual
Control of Country
Will Reorganize and
Officer the Police
Special Privileges in Mon
golia and Manchuria
Are Granted
fBy Tho Associated prcss,

SHANGHAI, April 24.-The state
ment is made in the first issue of the
Shanghai Gazette" which has made
it's appearance under the editorship of
Eugene Chan, that the Chinese govern
ment has agreed to new demands
made by Japan, which are of such a
nature that the country virtually has
been turned over to the Japanese. The
Gazette" asserts it has been informed
by hign ofliciai at Peking that the
Japanese demands are far mere serious
than those in Group V Of the famous
twentyone demands made by Japan in
1915.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
utmost secrecy is being observed" says
the Gazette" ait may be stated safely
that the following is not far from the
true terms of the agreement:
Chinese expeditionary forces sent to
Siberia shall be commanded by Jap
anese.
Chinese police shall be organized by
Japanese officers.
Japan shall control all of China's
arsenals and dockyards.
Japan shall have the privilege of
working mines in all parts of China"
Special privileges shall be granted
to Japan in Outer and Inner Mongolia
and the whole of Manchuria
"Other articles include provisions for
financial control and educational as
sistance."-
A dispatch filed in Peking on April
4 said it was reported there that
demands to China, including complete
control of China's finances, the pur-
chase of so per cent of China's amrnu-
milton in Japan, operation of Chinese
iron mines and dockyards under Jap
anese control and recognition of special
Japanese interests in Mongolia, as in
Manchuria.
Eugene Chen, an Anglicized Chinese,
formerly was editor of the "Peking
Gazette in which he carried on
campaign against Japanese influence in
China, denouncing the Chinese govern
ment on the ground that it was yield
ing to Japanese influence and "selline
out China" A year ago he was arrested
for saying the Premier was secretly
negotiating with Japan.
"A dispatch received on Saturday from
Peking said that for the purpose of
putting an end to sensational specula-
tlon on the displomatic situation as be-
tween Japan and China the government
had authorized the statement that the
negotiations in progress between the
Chinese and Japanese governments
were intended to refer solely to coop
Grafton against the enemy, and that the
agreement would lapse as soon as the
european war terminated, without in
fringing on the political or territorial
integrity of China. 1t was said the
agreement would be placed before the
Chinese Foreign Office for final exam
ination in few days.
Previous Japanese Demands
Group v of the twenty demands
presented to China by Japan in 1915
consisted OF seven articles relating to
the employment by the Chinese govern
ment of Japanese in political, financial
New-York tribune., 1918-04-29

and military affairs, supervision of the
Chinese police, the right of Japanese
ownership of land for the building of
hospitals, churches and schools; the
purchase of munitions of war from
rights. as well as the right of the jap
anese to propagate Buddhism in China.
In the agreement which was finally
reached Group Y was modified Five %
the articles in it were left open, to be
regarded as unfinished business One
was eliminated, and for the remaining
ones was substituted pledge on China's
part to undertake no military or naval
preparations nor to authorize such
undertakings by foreigners on the Flu

The Bulgarian Armistice.

An armistice between Bulgaria and
the entente powers has been signed.
It is but the first step in sealing the
fate of the quadruple alliance. When
Bulgaria in reply to the ultimatum of
Russia early in October, 1915, replied,
I'VE must fight on the vietor's side"
she had visions Of dominating the
whole of southeastern Europe. Today
finds Bulgaria crippled financially and
economically, with hopes shattered and
military power erumpled. There may
be some reason for believing that Bull
garia is playing chief role in a clever
Teutonic peace move, but that Bulgaria
herself today is thoroughly humbled
snd is seriously DESTROYS of peace ever
lasting is more to be believed.
The disaffection Of Bulgaria is plain
y the work Of NJ. Malinoff, who after
some months tenure of the premier
chip has led the people to the threshold
Of peace. He is backed by the firm
wish and viii Of the peoples Of his
realm that the struggle should cease.
Berlin has always been suspicious of
Malinoff and his pro-entente views.
That the German government has
trusted too much in the influence and
firm grip Of King Ferdinand is plain
y evident.
Today the Bulgarian king has been
DO thoroughly discredited, that it is
hut question of short time until
he is forced to abdicate, particularly
if it is true he has steadfastly op-
posed the making of a separate peace
with the entente allies in face of pop
ular approval Of such course. The
king has promised to Emperor Charles
Bulgaria's fealty to the cause of the
central alliance, but this possibly is
to make certain a comfortable refuge
when he will have been forced to re-
tire from Sofia.
Germany is panic stricken by events
IN Bulgaria, and justly so. Germany
sees the consequent disaffection of
Turkey, the complete reclamation of
Serbia, Montenegro, Albania and Ru-
mania and the invasion Of Austria, with
the latter county's overrunning and
consequent withdrawal from the strug-
gle, leaving Germany alone to face
the civilized world Germany sees her
own defeat writ large on the face of
current events.
Beholding these things, Germany is
rushing six divisions of troops from
Rumania into Bulgaria to act as the
moment dictates. That they may at
tempt to hold Sofia against the allied
invaders is extremely likely. Ger
many may try to make the Balkans
q strictly German front.

Bulgaria First to Cry for Peace.

Bulgaria wants peace because her
soil is invaded and her armies are
beaten in the field. She wants peace
because she is hopeless of any other
outcome Of her participation in this
war but disaster.
IF Bulgaria now sues for peace
on the allies terms-the only terms
upon which she can get peace-this
will be the first actual national defeat
in the war. Serbia was early driven
out Of her own land and became a
fugitive, but she did not surrender.
She held on, in alien lands, kept her
fragment Of an army together, main
tanned her government and suffered
unspeakably until the time came when
she could return to her soil Monte
negro was driven forth as well, but
maintained her bedigerency and her
national integrity, though q fugitive.
Belgium was driven out and cornered
in tiny space Of her own land, but
she maintained an army and govern
ment and is still fighting.
Russia, betrayed by her German
bought leaders, after q revolution had
thrown affairs into chaos, quit the war
formally, by way Of purchased peace,
to the terms Of which her conquerors
were Immediately unfaithful. But even
Russia did not acquiesee in this shame
less bargain and masses Of her people
are in revolt against the 'treachery of
the self-constituted administrators and
are IN the field Of battle. Rumania
was forced to quit because of Russia's
detection, but her spirit was never al
tered and today she stands ready to
re-enter the war as one Of the allies
when conditions permit.
Bulgaria is beaten in the field of
battle, not IN the field Of diplomacy or
intrigue. Thus the allies score the
first decision. The moral effect Of such
an accomplishment IS great. Germany
will feel the result Of it in other ways
than the clearing Of the allies path
to the Danube.
