Germany's Experts
Aim to Get Back
Trade Lost i'm War

AMSTERDAM, July 2S-Thc Ger
man Economic Council met Friday
under the presidency of the director of
the National Bank, Herr Schacht, ac-
cording to the Cologne Gazette's'
Berlin correspondent. The Ministry of
the Interior, the Foreign Office, the
ministries of Finance and Railways,
the War and Press. bureaus, the War
Food Board, the Reichsbank and other
departments Of the government were
represented.
President Schacht dwelt on world
economic conditions and the impor-
tance of Great Britain's adoption of a
system of preferential tariffs for hel
colonies. He referred to the already
existing working committee for Cen
trail Europe, which now is supple
mented by the Economic Council with
ences for rebuilding the country s
economic system.
Under Secretary of the Treasury
Schiller said the new councils efforts
should be directed toward the estab-
lishment of close economic relations
between the Central Powers without
prciudicing the independence of the
various powers. The council, he said
would have no political tendencies.
DR.. Walter Schotte, director of the
Economic Council, pointed out that the
problem which must be solved was
the economic linking of Central Eu-
rope with the rest of the world.
In this respect, he said, tariff
union with Austria-Hungary would be
of worldwide economic Importance
The next task would be economic cul-
tivation in the Near East for German
industry against Anglo-American com
petition, and for this purpose the ex-
tension of traffic and communication in
these regions was onsidered most
important.
The further duty Of the country, Dr..
Schotte added, was to enforce an eco
nomic peace in Europe and, strength
ened by mutual cooperation, to re-
establish supplies of raw materials
from overseas.
The preliminary committee is COM
posed of Albert Ballin, director gen
eral of the Hamburg American Steam
ship Line; Alfred Lohmann, president
of the board of directors of the North
German Lloyd Steamship Company:
Prince Hans Heinrich of pless. and
leading experts in business from all
parts of Germany.

British Labor Party
Backs War, in Word
Sent Alliance Here

Despite the present unrest in a GER
tain element of British labor, the Brit
ish Labor party is strongly in favor of
the war, according to a message re-
ceived from Charles Edward Russell
yesterday by the American Alliance
for Labor and Democracy AS proof,
Mr.. Russell pointed to the Endorsement
Of j. r. Clynes, Food Control Minister,
by the Special British Labor Party
Conference
THE real feeling of the conference, ="
said Mr.. Russell, was shown by the
election of J. R. Clynes to the Labor
party executive committee, receiving
2,l3e,000 votes, 100000 more than the
next highest candidate
"The new executive committee was
held to be somewhat more pacifst in
complexion than the one preceding it.
but this is hardly borne out by its at
titude toward the promotion of Clynes
to the position of Food Controller
owing to the death of Lord Rhondda.
The committee passed a hearty vote
OF congratulations to their colleague
on this elevation and declared that if
ne was fought in his constituency at
the election made necessary by his ac-
ceptance Of the higher post, Labor
party organization would be placed at
his service without reserve.
This action is all the more striking
when It is considered that Clynes is
an out and out supporter of no peace
until victory is assured
"Clyncs's election to the position of
Food Controller the most important
domestic ministerial position in Great
Britain, not only strengthens the labor
influence in the coalition government,
but tends to decrease the influence of
small but very vocal pacitist section
in the labor movement"

Decrease i'm Coal
Output Causes
Apprehension
Production Great, but De.
cline From the Previous
Week Disturbs Officials
Especial Dispatch to The Tgibune .


WASHINGTON, July 2S.-Although
the week ending July 20 witnessed the
second largest weekly production in
the history of bituminous coal mining.
the fact that it was about 100000 tons
less than the week before has caused
some apprehension, as the latter week
saw the elimination of production in
1917 AS against this fear that historv
may repeat itself and the production
of coal gradually decrease during the
remainder Of the year, as it did In
1917, is the well-known fact that the
output of coal never shows two sue
cessive weekly increases. and the op-
timists are predicting that the week
of July 27 will show production in
excess of l3,500,000 tons of bituminous,
as against 12,950.000 the preceding
week and the 13,273,0O0 high water
mark week before, and CT 11230,0 900
Tor the week ending July 20, 1917.
Anthracite shipments showed a de-
crease of 1856 carloads, as compared
with the preceding week, when they
were 42.419 carloads.
Commenting on the bituminous situ-
alton, the Fuel Administrator says:
"Shipments decreased slightly during
the week from all districts. with the
exception of Iowa, Texas and the
Southwestern states. the increase in
those districts amounting to 1.2 per
cent over the week of July 13. A de-
crease of shipments from Central
Pennsylvania of pa per cent from Ohio
Is per cent, from Southwestern Vir-
ginia 5.6 per cent and from Illinois,
Indiana and Western Kentucky 2.3 per
cent is shown for the week.
"The average weekly requirements
of 1921 500 net tons estimated by the
United States Fuel Administration as
the required average for the remainder
of the coal year has been exceeded by
the output Of the current week. This
weekly requirement, however, has been
exceeded in only three weeks since the
beginning of the coal year, April /. As
a result the production to date for the
coal year is 8,912,500 tons behind the
requirement programme. Every effort
therefore, must be made to continually
increase the coal output and every
wasteful and unnecessary use of coal
must be eliminated, if the fuel needs
OF the country are to be supplied.
The administration sums up the
working conditions for the SUNNI,
week of July 13 as follows:
The mines operated up to 86.S pc,
cent of their full time output. The
tota! losses of production from all
causes amounted to 1872 per cent. dis
trlbuted as follows: Car shortage, 3.g
per, cent; labor shortage, including
strikes, AZ per cent; mine disability
per cent; no market, Oh per cent;
and all other causes, l per cent For
the second time during the year, losses
on account of labor shortage and
strikes exceeded that attributed to ca,
shortage.

this year that they will themselves in
fallibly be defeated when America has
had time to put her full strength into
the task. Therefore the Germans arc
throwing all their available men against
the various points of our defensive
line, hoping to break through some
where and bring about an immediate
decision.
"The position at present may be COM
pared with the gigantic Battle of
Waterloo, the armies of France and
Italy, representing the English in the
famous battle, holding out for all they
are worth against the enemys frcnzied
attacks in order to afford time for
Americans to enter the fight and make
victory certain, thus changing our iron
determination that the enemy shall
not pass into the certainty that we
shall drive him before us into the heart
OF his own country"
Prince Colonna, Mayor of Rome
wrote the following to The Associated
Press:
"With redoubled hopes of speedy
victories the world enters the fifth
year OF the war against the forces of
barharism and evil. Never have we
doubted that the cause of right and
justice would triumph in the end, but
what now makes us confident that this
result Is indeed inevitable is the thor
ough participation by America in the
war
"The common ideals of justice which
have led the great American Republic
into the struggle have already been
splendidly defined by Ambassador
Page, who is so dear to US. when he
said:
"'Throughout her age-lone history
Italy, our great mother. conferred two
gifts on umanty-constant faith in
liberty and right and the discovery Of
the new world. The new world, having
been inspired all along in it's history
by those principles of law, did not hes
ltate to confer all her richest blood all
her sons, when she saw liberty threat
oned, in order that the priceless inher-
itance which originated from Rome
should not be overwhelmed and de-
stroyed: ltaly's cause is Americas

General Brancker Says US.
Must Take Control From
War and Navy Heads
British Result Cited
English Need Help From
Americans to Keep Aero
plane Supremacy

America cannot become wholly eff
clent in the air until she removes the
administration of her aerial forces from
the hands of the Secretaries Of War
and the Navy and vests them in q
newly created secretary who will have
complete jurisdiction over the pro-
ductlon, equipment, personnel and
man@uvres of this branch of combat.
This is the opinion of no less an au-
thority than Major General w. S
Brancker, Controller General of Equip
mcnt of the British Air Ministry, who
voiced it here yesterday in an inter
view with The Associated Press, fol-
lowing several weeks of conference
with government officials in charge of
aviation.
General Brancker announced that at
present the Allies were supreme in
the air, and would probably maintain
this supremacy. He added, however
that it was impossible to utilize
that branch of the service to it's fullest
extent until the ar lighters of all the
Allied nations were organized and CO.
ordinated properly.
Would Attack Berlin
When this is done he said the
wholesale bombing of German cities,
and even an attack upon Berlin would
be no longer possibilities but actual
facts. With the air forces organized
and cooperating, it would be possible
to launch an offensive from the skies
that would go far toward ending the
war at once.
Americas great step toward this end
the general believes, will be made
when secretary of air forces is named
oy the President. Britain was forced
TO take similar step long ago, and
Genera Brancker hopes that America
Will learn by her experience.
We simply had to come to an air
ministry" he stated. Public sentiment
demanded it. You have had no Hun air
raids IN this country to arouse you, but
1t is my, hope that, lacking this stimulus,
you VIII profit by our experience and
Degln at once on an even basis with us
IN tnls matter, instead Of waiting for
publlc sentiment to push up from the
bottom as in our case.

90 not have the anomalous situation
OF one branch of aviation service com
peting with the other for production
and equipment. Such coordination as
this obviously is the only way great
ar offensive can be prepared for and
conducted. INV
I'VE need your help, your great re-
sources and similar organization in
this country to cooperate with us on
equal terms. 1t is within the realm of
certainty that we can bomb Berlin in
the spring if not in the fall with air
planes we have building, as we have al
ready bombed Cologne, and the Rhine
CITIES but we have not the numbers

I've have plenty of planes and can

and we have about reached the limit

Impressions formed by the Irish Ma
tionalist. 7. P. O'Connor, NJ. p, in
more than a year he spent in the
United States as commissioner of the
Irish Parliamentary Party, were made
public yesterday by The Associated
Press. for which he wrote them just
prior to his return to England, to be
published upon his arrival.
Reaching New York in June, 1917,
he says, he saw the trans formation of
this nation from a careless, ease loving,
divergent thinking people to one "that
feels most passiouately, most unitedly
and most ruthlossly." Wherever Ger
many may seek for compromise, he
AYERS, it need not look for such a peace
from the United States, for "if any one
or all of the European nations should
in war weariness show any signs of ac-
cepting an inconclusive peace. America
would keep on. even if she had to stand
alone"
Wilson Ireland's Friend
President Wilson in the flesh, he con-
tinues, dspels the severity of his
photographs and appears as a man of
simplicity, sincerity, devotion to prin-
ciple and "an almost Celtic impulsive-
ness and warmth of feeling" He cx-
presses confidence that in President
Wilson Ireland has true friend. His
statement in part follows:
II must own my first impressions
were not encouraging from any point
Of view. Within a few hours | had
every evidence on the one hand that
the anti English sentiment had not yet

sues in the minds Of some of the race.
On the other hand the sight of this

to every seaside resort in the vacation
spirit of the summer, was in marked
contrast to the sombrc attitude and at
mosphere of the city | had left after
three years of war. Further, found in
private conversation startling evi-
dence of a division of mind and opin-
ion as to Americas intervention in the
war, which was expressed with an
openness which surprised and even
panied me.
