One advantage Of war is that il
compels men to develop. Few men
are self-starters, capable Of pushing
themselves to the limit for an indef-
mite time. Dynamic bosses in peace
time and the vital necessities of war
bring out of these men the possibil-
tiles which but for this forcing would
never develop. A great vision or Il
great ambition furnishes the driving
force in many men, but in war time.

THE ACoUIEsCENT SPIRIT

The Ave days shut down OF indus
tries and business ended yesterday
with only a partial attainment OF re-
suits expected from the emergency or
der of The Fuel Administrator. It was
simply the resort Of desperation to re-
Eevn conditions that were Of grave
peril. It was expected that this dras'
tic and revolutionary recourse would
conserve 30.oOO.00o tons Of coal, al
though it was not a question Of short
age of the coal supply. but the In
adequacy OF transportation facilities.
1t is greatly 10 the credit Of the Ameri-
can people that they responded in such
co.operatiya frame of mind 10 such
an unusual strain on their good tent
per and convenience. Comparatively
few violations Of the order have been
reported, and many Of those were un'
intentional. Under the circumstances
il was a remarkable demonstration OF
the deep-seated loyal spirit that per
yades the nation, which was unpre-
pared for the sacrifices entalled.
That the arbitrary alternative re-
sorted to by the Fuel Administration
has accomplished something OF the
ends desired must not be taken adj
vantage Of to prolong the Monday holi-
DAYS to follow unnecessarily. Much
of tho acuuiescence in the arbitrary
ruling has been accorded under pro-
test, and there Is large element IN
the country who refuse TO admit the
necessity for the strain imposed upon
the country. The Coal Age, in dis
GUESSING the situation. affects to kno"
,ha. a great deal more. coal could have
been hauled during recent months with
the same number OF cars If those In
charge Of the railroads had only COM
PEELED the immediate unloading and
return OF cars. This problem It
adds. was not met in the stern man.
ner that was necessary. 1t Is also a
fact that tho Government should have
exercised certain DETERMINATIONS in re-
cruitinC and drafting miners. Now the
entire industrial life Of America ia
asked to pay the price for the mistakes
of 4 few individuals"
The Coal Age neglects to point but
The contributing. cause to the con-
cested conditions Of transportation,
the dnmago2ic exploitation Of the rail-
roads of the country by the Democratic
administration and the starving proc

TWO adverse agencies are mainly re-
SponS;ble for the cumulative Ills Of the
