fectively, according to the German
view, whether Mittel-Europa remains
as much of a fact as it is today, or
whether by bargaining her conquests
and her own raw materials Germany
obtains equal privileges with her COM
petitors In the markets for raw mate
rials. Unless she can both hold her
conguests and obtain the desired privi-
leges-an unlikely situation now
Germany would prefer equality Of
privilege, trusting to her business
ability and the world-hunger for
goods to overcome prejHdices and
hatreds stimulated in the outside
world by the war. and to her superb
organization and the needs of her
neighbors TO work her way into actual

AMERICAN BLACKLIST
HITS THE GERMANS

Chihuahua City, Mexico, June 3d.
The American blacklist has shattered
one of the German plans FIR the
commercial conquest of Mexico. Be-
fore the United States entered the
war and prior to the last Mexican
revolution German business prgani-
cations scattered throughout nprthern
Mexico gave evidence of the German
intention to exploit the Mexican
markets.
One German wholesale hardware
firm started to establish branches
throughout the state more than 40
Years ago and, at the outbreak Of
the revolutions. had branches in on
GRAFTON in Juarez, Casas Glandes
Santa Rosalia. Ojinaga and other
places with parent store here.
While these houses We're conducted
on business lines, it is considered here
as a significant fact that all the Ger
man conSuls and vice consuls for this
part of Mexico were appointed from
among the managers and assistant
managers of this concern. In Juarez,
Casas Grandes and Santa Rosalia the
branch managers were also German
vice conSuls, the consul in chihuahua
City also being one of the managers
of the parent store here The vice
consul in Juarez was decorated by
the German Emperor for services
rendered Germany on the border.
When the revolutions started these
German stores were the first to suf
fer because they were we'll stocked
with wagons, harness and other sup
plies needed by the revolutionists.
The Juarez and Casas Grandes
branches were looted and burned and
new only the parent store here re
mains in business.
What the revolutionists failed to do
to wreck these German stores the
American blacklist completed at the
beginning Of Americas war against
Germany. Now it is almost impos-
sible for the German firms to obtain
supplies and Mexican buyers fear to
buy from blacklisted firms for fear
OF being placed on this blacklist and
denied the privilege Of importing from
the United States.

Wrono End Ahead, as Usual.

In a recent summing up Of the fuel
situation. Professor Garfield reached
the conclusion that there will be a
shortage next winter and his only
1T is, therefore, apparent that the
full requirement of coal cannot be
filed, and the difference must be
made up by voluntary or enforced
curtailment in the use of fuel"
In view of the sad experience of
last winter, when the productive in
dustries of the country curtailed their
output after the fuel administration
had discouraged early buying OF
coal, it is well that we look further
than the fuel administration for ad-
vice for the coming season of fuel
consumption.
1t is not necessarily true that the
shortage of coal must be made up
by voluntary or enforced curtailn1ent
in the use of fuel" While there is a
limit to the practicable coal produc-
ton, it is possible and practicable to
largely increase production of coal
substitutes. BY adapting stoves and
furnaces to the burning of wood, and
by largely increasing the cutting of
wood for fuel, much coal Can be
saved without injurious "curtailment
in the use of fuel"
1t is safe to say that waste of fuel
is now extremely small. Economy
should, of course, be practiced in
every respect. But instead of plan
ming repetition of the coalless and
heatless and voorhees, days of last
winter, the fuel administration should
be bending all it's energies to the ut
most production. distribution and
storage not only of coal, but OF cord
wood, slabwood. corncobs, anything
else that will serve as saver Of coal
We cannot speed up this war by
planning to curtail productive indus
try.
