COAL SHORTAGE AND FREIGHT
 CONGESTION.


 IL is impossible to overlook the handicap which has been placed upon New England by the failure to pro- vide for its needs in the way of coal and the contribution which has been made to the congested railroad COZ kjtions because of that very fact.
 During last suamer and way along into the fall special attention was given to supplying the needs of the northwest The reads were kept busy carrying coal to that section in order to take care of the facilities of the water transportation on the Great Lakes, and yet iE spite of the fact that New England depends upon wa ter transportation for two thirds of it's coal supply plans for meeting it's requirements were not made, but in- stead an increased handicap was placed upon it by reducing the water transportation facilities, the govern z1ent communicating tugs and coiiiars fer other service. The result has been that while New England has required go per cent more coal to keep it's in dustrfes going 1t has actually receiveS by water million and e half tons less in 1917 than it did in the vca; 1s1G
 The result of this has been to forcs the railroads to take over this bur den and they have been required tc haul three million more tons than they did in the previous year, result ing in the use of the motive power for this purpose when it was made quate to take care of the other in- creased transportation requirements Had proper and timely consideration been given to New England's need; the prevailing shortage and conges. ton would have been prevented to { large extent.

AIR RAIDS,

Another air raid has been made ,up- on London and ether points in Eng land with the result that the casualty list from such an attack is the largest in a number of months. This is ap- parently the answer of Berlin to the protests which have been made by the residents of Mannheim and other German cities because of the reprisals which the British and French aiF1nen have been making in that country. Thrown into a panic, suffering much damage and loss of life, the German people are conscious of the fact that they are being thus treated because Germany has persisted in carrying out the very same sort of a policy in re- gard to England. They appreciate the injustice of such treatment and they fully recognize that the way to get the protection to which they are en- titled is to have Germany reform.
 They can get little satisfaction, how ever, according to the response which is being made to their appeal. Germany started the air raiding and just as long as it persists in dropping bombs on defenseless cities and town and taking the lives of non-comhatant children, women and men it can be expected that the allies will resort to similar methods. It is simply an in- vitation to the allies to do their worst in this respect and while they held aleof from such practices for long period of time. it has been realized and especially by those who have felt the brunt of it. that Germany is gaining no military advantage but making 1t all the worse for it's own people. It is a game at which two can play and as long as Germany per. sists in it. it can anticipate that ii will have to pay in the same coin.

defense against such cruel, arbitrary standard of warfare.
 Because of the binding hatred caused by tine barbaric methods intke- duced and pursued by the German Government, the other nations lose sight of all that the Germans, as & nation, have stood for to the world at large in times of peace.
 Those who know it all. know their intellectual endowments, literary achievements, their place as nlusi- clans, as world educators, as artists, as scientists, etc, and are just enough to acknowledge it. But, to use such talents, such intellect. such versatility to overpoWer' right by might is an at titude that must al Iouse righteous in dignation in anyone of whatever ma tionality who is endowed with spir- Ii of justice and the love of humanity.

STORES OF THE WAR
Huts Will Become Hotels.

The British Young Mems Christian Association has decided that it's huts in France VII be converted after the Uar into hotels for visitors to the bat tiefisids, chiefly relatives anxious to visit the graves or last resting places of their fallen kin.
 The British authorities anticipate a great pilgrimage of British people to France and Belgium immediately after the war, and as far as possible steps will be taken to facilitate the natural eagerness of those things at home to visit the scenes where their relatives have fallen. But with 6 large part of France and Belgium in ruins partic- ularly those district in which lie the graxeyaFds, there will be little ae- cemmedation for visitors. So the Young Mems Christian Association proposes to use its hundreds of hnts as temporary hotels.

CHARACTERISTIC,

Very little surprise cen be occasion ed by the announcement that GeEEnany is violating the terms of its truce with Russia by transferring troops fre1r. the eastern to the western front. This; was just what GermeHy was engaged in when the question of a trues came I'D. It was realized by Germany that if truce was to be signed tf:at it would be obligated to kesp its troops right where they were, so 1t was stipur lated at the time that it should not apply to those regiments asd the aF- iiiiery which had already easa dssig- mated for transfer and which were waiting for transportation, but simply to the issuing of new orders.
 Apparently those transfers have now been completed and yet Germany has need for more raen in the west. Such being the case the truce becomes a scrap of paper and in order to hood wink the Russians, soldiers are being given furloughs from which they neye, return. but instead they are sent int service elsewhere and their places iI the east are not filled. It is thus aug. menting its army in the west and. il is removing it's soldiers from the in. anenee which Russian propagaadists sre exerting amongst the troops CT the Russian fraat,

STOCK MARKET

New York, July 17-Opening- Stocks were unsettled at the opening of today's trading, mainly in conse- quence of another severe drive against Sumatra Tobacco. which broke almost six points in the first half hour. United States Steel lost a point on a succession of large offerings and some of the other industrials, equipments and Marine preferred yielded to the same extent. Moderate gains in minor specialties and Atlan- tic Gulf were soon dissipated.
 Noon-The market made fractional improvement after the decline of the first hour, but developed greater heaviness later, fresh selling being induced by war bulletins. Sumatra Tobacco, which was second to Unit ed States Stee1 in activity. increased It's loss to eight points. Leading in- dustrials including the steels, also Baldwin Locomotive and General Mo- tors, were under further pressure. Minor metals were an exception to the general trend, American Zinc and Butte & Superior gaining one and two points respectively, Liberty 8 1-2s sold at 99.58 to 99.62, the 4s at 93.9O to 94.04 and the 1-4s at 95.90 to 95.98.

atien measures, radical and conserva- tive, U. s. Steel will earn between s22 and $26 @ share. A leading bond au- therity says the economic results of the great LibertG Bond campaigns by the Government will show themselves in 8 widespread demand for securi- ties after the war. A canvass of gen. eral sentiment in the Street si report ed to show an attitude favoring a waiting position, with the expectation that a trading market will be witness ed in which specialties will be bull ishly prominent. It Is noted that off, ferings of stocks are small, as rule. Most of the selling seems to be done by professionals. A great deal of in- vestment buying is going on steadily in moderate lots, and those who have investigated the reason therefor seem to be convinced that it is in part bas- ed on the expectation that the end of of the war will begin to be discounted in the distant future. Offerings are reported light in New Haven, and there are reasons for believing that 1t has gone into strong hands.
 Russian war news is exciting great deal of interest in view of develop ments indicating resistance of Ger man encroachment, and it may later become a market factor of importance. Favorable war news from Europe has been mainly of minor import of late. Any radically good developments would undoubtedly stimulate the stock market into bullish activity. Meantime good trading market is anticipated.

Wife Beater Given
 Sentence to Jail

Steve sooky, of 23 Columbia court, arrested last night when he brutally beat his wife, was before the city court today and sentenced to serve three months in jail by Judge Bart lett.
 Elizabeth Sooky, the IS year old daughter of the wife-beater, proved to be a star witness against her father. She told the court of the many beatings he gave her mother and of the drinking debauches 1ndulged In by her father. She also told the court that when her father came home drunk last night he succeeded in. unmercifully beating her mother before she was able to get out of the house to summon help.
 Fortunately for Mrs. Sooky, Pa trolman Fitzpatrick happened to be passing the house at the time and he rushed to the rescue of the woman who had been beaten into insensi- ,bility by her drink-crazed husband. He took the wife-beater to the Third precinct police station where he was detained until he appeared in court today.
