Railroad Using Fuel Oil

ndtH od0 SSitS NJ ~
Nearly all of the railroad lines are
now using fuel oil and wood in con-
junction with coal, but it is believed
that native coal, as the supply be-
comes greater, will gradually replace
these substitutes.
The native coal, until now available,
is of an inferior quality but for rail-
road and factory use it is mixed with
imported coal or wood, or it is ground
up and mixed with oil and made into
briquettes. The briquette coal is less
expensive than the imported and is
satisfactory.
The effect of coal famine would
be not only disastrous to BraziPs own
industries and commerce, but would
also be keenly felt by the allies In
the war against Germany in shortage
of supplies for which they are de-
pendent upon this country. Already
manganese shipments to the United
States have been curtailed because
of the difficulty of rail transportation
of this ore to the seaboard. Mangan-
csc is of great value in munitions and
steel manufacture. Last year the
UnJoQ STATES lHpOIlcu hebii q iiiiiioii
of this product from Brazil. Ii ships
were unable to obtain bunker coal
in Brazilian ports, millions of bags
of coffee, beans, rice and hundreds
of thousands of tons of frozen meats
and other food stuffs now being
supplied the allied armies would be
held up.
While the federal fuel commission
is endeavoring to adjust the situation
and to develop the country's internal
resources, it is up to the United
States to be as generous as possible
in allowing coal supplies so that
Brazil may develop her full efficiency
as Uncle Sans greatest American
ally in the war.
1t will be "heaping Goals" on Ger
many's head.

BRAZIL NOW FACING
short COAL SUPPLY
All People Are Told to Care
fully Conserve Fuel
HIGH COST IN COUNTRY
Nearly All of the Railroad Lines
Now Use Coal Oil and
Wood
II. C.. RORERTSOM

Rio De Janeiro, February 17.-[By
Maill-The appointment of federal
fuel commission, whose duty it is
to conserve the ever dwindling stocks
of combustiles and to provide new
supplies and substitutes when these
stocks are gone, is 'Brazips latest
attempt to overcome desperate
coal shortage situation. ct is now
the fall of the year here.)
The commission consists of rep
resentative of the navy, one from the
Lloyd Brasileiro, the government
owned shipping line, and another
from the Central railroad, also gov
eminent owned. 1t is believed that
the members of the commission were
wisely chosen as the interests rep
resented are the largest coal users
in the country, and judging from the
steps already taken the commissions
purpose will be successfully carried
out.
Brazil consumes annually about a
million tons of coal, practically all Of
which has been imported. Until the
war broke out in Europe this million
tons year was mined in Wales and
exported to Brazil in British ships,
but Great Britian's war necessities
cut off this source of supply and
Brazil turned to the United States
for assistance. The fact that Amer
lean coal exports to Brazil increased
from $4,000 tons in 1911 to nearly
100000 tons in 1917 shows how this
assistance was rendered.
Difficulties Were Increasing
But the steady inroads of the Ger
man submarines on the worlds ships
supply brought new and increasing
difficulties to the Brazilian coal con
sumner. There was not only a short
ago of ships to transport the coal
obtainable, but freight rates steadily
mounted until they became all but
prohibitive Coal that costs about
four dollars a ton in the United
States is being sold for more than
thirty dollars ton in this city-and
the difference is the freight.
Now that the United States is suf-
fering a severe shortage and is able
to supply even her friends with
constantly decreasing quantities,
Brazilian industries will be in a
desperate situation if the commission
is unable TO solve the problem.
Various relief measures have been
considered but those offering the
brightest prospects of success are
the use of substitutes for coal, and
the development of the country's own
coal lands, hitherto neglected because
of lack of capital and transportation.
Already several mines have been
opened and new rail lines are bring
ing their products to market. The
high prices and the nations desper-
ate needs will doubtlessly develop
these new mines and others in the
near future. The federal government
and the governments of several
states are giving this development
the greatest encouragement not only
| financially but also by facilitating
| transportation and by favorable legis :
| lation.

New-York tribune., 1918-05-16
What We Ought to Know
20 the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Like most of my fellow citizens, l
am rather wearied by the charges and coun-
ter charges that are hurled daily about
the aircraft production. The large majority
care little for these personalities, and can
wait patiently for the Senate or Depart
ment of Justices reports, which, to be
thorough will not be ready for some time;
hut there are two facts which are of su-
prcme interest: Cd the number of aero
planes that, up to this date, little more
than thirteen months after the war was
begun, America has sent to France, or Eng
land, or Italy; and GU the amount of money
expended. The books ought to make this
perfectly plain. If the showing is good
we will be satisfied; if it is bad we ought
to know it SO as to speed up. There is no
danger in giving this knowledge to the pub
