By James Arthur Seavcy

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Jan. L.
Springfield, on account OF shortage
Of coal, is as near an Industrial shut
down as 1t we'll can be. The citizens
of Springicld-th rank and file citi-
zcns, not those who toast thcir shins
before club hearth fires or 1.-Two in
hotels--are almost beyond the skill Of
the most scientific plumber to thaw
them out.
Yet, with this statement of fact
regarding the Springfield scarcity Of
coal, the war industries Of the city
have managed to run along without an
enforced laying off of employees. The
reason for this is similar to the
one which affects the coal situation in
Hartford and New Haven. More than
90 per cent Of the Springfield industries
that have war contracts get their power
from the United Electric Light Com
pany. of which Il. w. Day is president
and w. l.. Mulligan general manager.
But the United Electric Light Com
pany is on its last coal legs, so to put
it, and If somebody doesn't find Il way
to shoot coal into the company's coal
dumps soon there will be startling
stop to the manufacture of war SUD-
plies in Springfield. The company
gets practically all of it's coal from
George 4. Warren g. Co., Of Boston
and uses about thousand tons a day
1t has less than three weeks supply
on hand. Ever since the middle of No.
vember twenty cars Of coal, consigned
by Warren g. Co. to the United Electric
Light Company, of Springfield. have
been somewhere on the road to Spring
field and neither tho electric light
company nor Warren E. Co. has beer
able to find out what has become OF
them.
New Haven Road Criticised
Most of the captains of war indus
tries in Springfield have q very hig(
regard for the executive ability Of Will
lam Gibbs McAdoo, but they respect

tired banker and a heavy stockholder
in several Springfield corporations,
said:
"Unless She railroads find way to
get coal into Springfield mighty soon
SprinRfieid's industries will have to shut
up shop, and the people of Springfield
will have to freeze or move out"
"Just at present the condition Of our
people is worse than the condition of
our Industrial plants. 1t Is extremely
pathetic to ]ook at the long line of ap
plicants for coal that stretches away
from the entrance to the city coal Of
flee every morning. We do not allot
to any applicant more than 200 pounds,
but recently we have not been able to
supply that amount. And, mind you,
this coal is not Cor persons who are
unable to buy it, but for persons who
have enough money to lay in win
ter's supply if they could obtain it.
After going over the situation care
fully, and after consultation with State
Fuel Administrator Starrow in Boston,
| am convinced that the salvation Of
Springfield and its industries lies in
the cutting of railroad red tape by a
sweeping order from the Director Gen.
eral of Railways"
Says Baker Caused Shortage
General Manager Mulligan of the
Electric Light Company is Of the opin-
ion that, had Secretary of War Baker
confirmed the arrangement made by
Secretary Of the Interior Lane with the
coal operators that the mine price for
coal should be 50 ton much of the
trouble about coal shortage would not
exist. Mr.. Mulligan points out that
when the price was fixed at 50 ton
there was plenty of coal, but when
Secretary Baker cut the price to So
there was an amazing decrease in the
output.
But if Mr.. Mulligan's company could
have got any real action out Of the
fuel administration at Washington, it
might not have been as short of coal
as it is. The company's case and its
responsibility for furnishing power to
the Springfield industries was put just
rs strongly to the fuel administration
as plain English could put it. Accord
ing to Mr.. Mulligan, the fuel admins.

Crowder Estimates

Joy, Says Hurd
Defence League Head
Urges u. S. to Aim at
Army of Is, 900,

Provost Marshal General Crowder's
published statement that the 100000
men available from draft Class |, to-
gcther with the 100000 physically fit
youths becoming Of age every year,
probably would be enough for Amer
ica's military needs, undoubtedly gave
Berlin yesterday one of the most joy
Gus days it had known for long time,
according to Richard M. Hurd. chair
man Of the board of directors Of the
American Defence League.
"The German General Staff" said Mr.
Hurd, "has sneered at America, saying
that our military assistance would be
about equal to that of Rumania. So far
this is true.
"The provost marshal's statement
would indicate that the official in charge
of furnishing supplies of men has not
yet graspcd the scale upon which this
war is being waged.
"a few figures may assist in making
this clear. The ten leading Allied ma
while the four Central Powers include
10000 900 people. The fighting mer
under arms since the war began have
numbered about 45,00O.000, of whom
100000 have been killed, wounded
missing or retired. This leaves 80.
100000 now fighting, which number is
being largely diminished by the defcc
tion Of Russian troops.
england, France and Italy have nov
about 100000 men under arms. VIII!
cannot The figures of American troops
abroad be given out by the govern
ment after their arrival as is done b.
Canada, for it would be childish tt
suppose the Germans have not all thi
information If we arc to do what ou
allies have done we should send 15 pc
cent of our population, or 15,000,00'
soldiers, to France.
General Crowder admits that tn
surface of our fighting men has no
been scratched. Why hasn't it?
For America to send an overwhelm
ing force to Europe would hasten tn
end of the war 1t would mean organ
izing upon vaster scale for the build
ing Of ships and the manufacture 0
clothing and munitions, but the Amer
lean people would back up the Admin
istration were it to put the war prep
aration on larger scale"
