those who are not moved by the ap-

the knowledge that unless the Ger

SLIGHT GAIN IN COAL PRODUCTION
 FOR PAST WEEK
Tonnage Reaches 392,939 Tons-This Week Anticipated That 100000
 Tons Will Be Produced

There was a slight gain in coal pro- duction in the Birmingham district last week over the output of the week before. which came as "a surprise to the representatives of the fuel ad- ministration, who had expected a small decrease. The production for the week ended September ', was 392.9s9. com rared with 39o,41S tons the preceding week.
 Labor Day coming on Monday of last week, and following close upon a pay day, the output for the week was ex- pected to show a decrease even when compared with the preceding week. when it fell below the lowest figures since the first week in July.
 Reports to the fuel administration indicate that the production this week will be around 400.o0O tons The fall ing off is not all attributed to lack of cars as the railroads have been supply ing within small per centage of the called for. Labor conditions are said to be unsatisfactory at some of the mines, and the Mary Lee mine, temporarily out of commission, be- cause of a eave-in about 10 days ago. accounts for about 1900 tons a day of the shortage.

to starve my women and children, who have nothing to do with war;
 I couldn't help thinking of the "whole nations which had been absolutely crushed under the Kaiser's heel-of Bel gium, Servia and Poland.
 The Kaiser never admitted that the de- struction of the Lusitania was a result of special instructions from him to the U-boat commander. but in discussing the general subject of submarine warfare he asked:
 "What right have Americans to take passage on these vessels, anyway? Ii they came on to the battlefield they would not expect us to stop firing, would they? Why should they expect any greater protection when they enter the war zone at sea?
 Don't ever forget" he went on. Ca bullet from pistol would he enough to sink one of our U-boats. How can we stop and board vessels we encounter to ascertain whether they are neutral and not carrying contrabands If what appears to be neutral should in fact prove to be bellfgerent. or if belliger- ent should heave to in response to the command of of our sub marines, how could we safely send boarding party over when a rifle shOt from the VekSei m uueStiOh would send us to the bottom: Obvi- ously. if America persists in send ing munitions to the allies. there is but one thing for to do-sink the vessels"
 When l suggested that while the vulnerability of the submarine un- doubtedly Iessened it's value fin con- nectf0n with the right of search which beiligerents have under in- ternationaI law. still the law ought to be observed the Kaiser inter- rupted me hastily with ehe re mark:
 'InternatfonaI law, There fs no such thing as international law any more.r
 In that assertion of course, lies the answer to all the questions which have arisen in connection with the conduct of the war. If the Germans recognized no international law but were guided solely by their ideas of expedienoy and the demands of "kulture," then the whole course of the war became perfectly

clear. The use of poisonous gas, the destruction of mnfortified towns. the dissertation of churches, the attacks on hospitals and Red Cross units, the countless atrocities committed against civilians and prisoners of war, require no other explanation.
 No such thing as international law any more!

Good morning, Davis he said; "these are very serious times, aren't they?" He seemed more sober than had ever before seen.
 Are the rooms here suitable for you?' he asked. If there is anything you wish you have only to ring the bell"
 The room was rather dark, but I told him that 1t would answer the purpose very nicely.
 The work l had to do for him was nothing of a serious character and dld
