British Army Bayonet Expert
Has Already Started

PLATTSBURG, July 27.--With the
arrival Of few late comers, tonight,
the students army training corps ros-
ter at the Plattsburg barracks was
brought up to the round number of
5000, and by Thursday the full quota
allowed this camp, 5000, will have re-
ported for the two months of intensive
training. Among this number are
many college faculty members, who are
also taking the training with view
of assisting in the instruction of stu
dents at the colleges during the winter
months.
Two-thirds of the force now in camp
are from colleges where there has
never been military training afforded
students heretofore. and it is hoped
to graduate enough young men from
this camp to act as on-commissioned
officers and assistant instructors to
lend helping hand to these non-mil-
ltary institutions at the close of this
camp. To these schools there will also
De assigned a regular army officer of
the retired list
are those who were here in the first
camp, during the month of June, and
who have returned to help in the in
struction work. They are the picked
thousand out of the 5000 who took
the training then. At the close Of this
camp, on September 16, these men, or
most of them. will be sent to the five
officers central training camps, in dif-
terent parts of the country, to finish
three months course, when they will
be commissioned second lieutenants.
May Get Commissions Sooner
There is general belief among Off
GERS that many of those of the June
camp who have shown exceptional abil-,
ity to command will be given commits
slons by the camp commander here, on
authority from the War Department,
and it is also stated that Colonel
Dentler will send some of these June
graduates to the central training camps
before September 16. He will let them
go as he finds he can spare them from
the instruction work here. Authority
to do this has already been given by
the War Department.
The companies Of the four battalions
are now in command of reserve officers
entirely, men who won their commits
sions last year at this and other camps.
The majority are first and second lieu
tenants, and Colonel Dentler says that
they, are showing themselves to be
capable drill masters. To assist in
the training the camp will have twen-
ty-six officers expert in specialties,
eight foreign officers, four French and

will produce. Any over calculation
here has a good chance to be Offset by
an under estimate for the remaining
months.
AS against the apparent shortage of
S5,000,000 tons there Is the fact that
the coal IS somewhat cleaner this year
than last--enough to make 100000, 900
tons equivalent to 610,000,000 Of last
years quality.
Is, ,ooo,o Tons
Net Shortage
This leaves 25,OOO,000 tons that must
be gone without. If it be dispensed
with, by conservation, there will be
nothing approaching disaster. If in
dustries continue to use coal in the
wasteful manner of the past, thousands
of plants will have to shut down, or
curtail the use Of coal later in the
year SO drastically that great incon-
venience and economic dislocation will
result.
The fuel administration has talked
of possibility of conserving as much
as 5o,ooo,oo0 or 6O,O0O,000 of tons, both
by economy and outright curtailment,
or prohibition, of the use of coal for
some purposes. BY straight conserva-
tion-that is by making less coal do as
much work as more, hitherto, and by
eliminating or reducing all luxurious
consumption, I think that 25,000,000 is
the best it can do--and that includes
q saving of 100000 tons in domestic
consumption, which is putting it pretty
high. The latter sort Of saving will
inevitably involve a good deal of dis
comfort, but will still leave the Amcri-
can people far more comfortable in
their homes this winter than most
other northern peoples are, even in
peace.
AS to actual reduction of industrial
fuel supplies below the strictest re-
quirements for normal production. q
good deal of that is going on now, and
more may be expected. But its chief
application will be determined by later
developments, and really has nothing
to do with the subject under discus
sion, which Is that of the relation be-
tween the coal in sight to the amount
required for the maintenance of oil
normal activities as we'll as the ab-
normal activities caused by the war.
Little Danger of
Real Hardship
Subject to the degree Of discomfort
involved in using coal with economy,
and subject, also, to some local failures
of distribution here and there, whether
from bad weather or other causes, the
people are not going to suffer in the
homes, Offices or shops. They will en-
counter nothing that can be called per-
sonal hardship.
On the above figures the country will
be able just to squeak through the coal
year, but, it should be added, it is pos
sible that the fuel administration has
underestimated the minimum require
ments by about 100000 tons. In
that event nothing except continuous
record-smashing production can pre-
vent good deal Of outright stoppage
of industry.
Another factor that may cause more

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, July 81
The heirs Of Henry Miller, California
cattle baron, are liable for $4,000, ,OOC
inheritance taxes, equal shares Of
which are claimed by the Federal and
state governments. according to a re-
port submitted to-day to the Federal

heritance tax appraiser.
Mogan fixed the gross value of the
property left by Miller at $4,000, 900
Exclusive of liabilities, the value is
placed at S35,00O,O0O.
J. Leroy Nickel and his wife, who is
Miller's daughter, principal heirs to the
estate, are the plaintiffs in suit
against Justus Wardell, collector OF

Present Situation

Wipe Out Deficiency
By Theodore Nj. knapper

w WASHINGTON. July 2S.-After
w familiarizing myself with the
conditions governing coal pro-
duction and reviewing what has been
accomplished and calculating the fu-
ture, I am going to risk a prediction
that the total output of bituminous
coal for the coal year ending March
81 will not exceed 6Oo,ooo,O0o tons, as
against 55o,0o0,ooo last year. The an
thracite production is sure to be about
what 1t was last year, that is, around
1o0.000,o00 net tons. The country's
estimated minimum requirements are
735,000,000 tons. We are going to be
short about 35,ooO,000 tons Of btu
minous.
Up to and inclusive of the week Of
out 173,520,0Oo tons, whereas to keep
up to schedule they should have yielded
a little more than 1S3,000,000. For the
following ten weeks they should run
ahead Of the schedule and average
100000 tons a week. For the re-
naming twenty-seven weeks of the
year they will fall below the schedule
and average 100000 tons.
These figures give total of little
more than 6oo,ooo,ooO, instead of the
required 635,oo0,oOO tons.
Bad Weather Will Cause
Further Loss
The forecasts are predicted on aver
age good weather during the winter
months. Another winter like the last
may knock 100000 tons off the esti-
mate. They may be little too opti-
mistic as to the next ten weeks, but
they are based on the belief that dur
ing that period the miners are going
to do small part Of the extra work
they are capable Of, and that the rail
ways will not permit anything to inter
fsre with hauling all the coal the mines

or less trouble ia that the increased
production of coal may not be in Sec
tions where most needed. The mining
districts that have the larger part Of
the extra load to carry may not meas
ure up to the situation.
Real Effort at Mine.
Will Prevent Crisis
The mines and miners of the country
they stand to remove all apprehension
in the next two or three months. If
some one could only stir them UP to
just ten weeks of special effort--which
even then wouldn't approach real war
work as the Allies workers know it
we could face the winter without ap-
prehension, except as extraordinarily
severe weather might hinder trans
portation.
Barring the discovery Of just the
right lieutenant for this work, there
is no more important field for DR.. Gar
field himself. If he is we'll advised, he
will hang an "Out" sign on his door,
turn all desk work over to his staff,
write an open letter to the President
that he has gone to the mines "for
the good of the cause" pack his grip
and spend a couple of months in face
to-face "mixing" with operators and
peratives-especially with the latter.
There is every indication that they
~ nr
Garfield stands we'll with the miners;
he has managed labor difficulties wise
ly and fairly, and with the authority
of his office and as a direct repre-
sentative of the President he can ac-
complish Eaat neither operators nor
labor leaders can do.
Garfield Has Built
Fine Organization
This is the place to say few words
more about DR.. Garfield. He has come
long way since last fall and winter.
"The Black Diamond" which cannot be
accused of being Garfield partisan,
says that he has built up an organiza-
tion which no other department of the
government can equal-unless it be the
War Industries Board. The conserva-
tion organization Is particularly strong.
The production organization has been
greatly improved in the last two
months.
On the whole, the distribution or
ganization is excellent. 1t knows what
it is trying to do, and except for the
capillaries Of the system it has very
definite, clear-headed methods Of doing
them. The labor department is doing
excellent work. The transportation
liaison with the Railway Administration
is flexible and efficient. The machine
as whole is made, and we'll made.
But because DR.. Garfield has personally
kept away from direct. physical con-
tact with production some say that he
is good organizer and administrator.
but not a leader.
Leadership is all that is necessary
right now to get coal. Not office
leadership, but the leadership of the
line. The chief of staff can stay in
Washington, but DR.. Garfield is needed
at the front. Production is his job.
Success in it will win him enthusiastic
plaudits; success in other fields only
grudging admissions of good work.
The fuel administrator has checked the
advance of General Coal Trouble. He
can crush him by pushing his offensive
right into the mines.
