National Coal Association De-
clares National Prohibi-
ton Absolutely Nee
essary. -
The National Coal Association has
addressed to Fuel Administrator
Garfield an emphatic appeal for I'M
mediate war prohibition. We quote
from it at length:
Nationwide prohibition for the
period of the war is absolutely essen
tial, in the opinion of the National
Coal Association, representing blum
inous coal operators with an annual
production of nearly 40O,0OO,OOO
tons. to make effective any plans for
speeding up the mines efficiently to
get e 100, 900 additional tons
of coal the country will need this
winter.
ga definite program for increased
coal production, placed formally be-
fore the United States fuel admins
tration as the best thought of the in
dustry, carries with it the recommen-
dation that nationwide prohibition
be put into effect at once. The coal
production committee of the Nation
al Association, which formulated the
program, also has addressed a letter
to each member of Congress advis-
ing him of the recommendation.
Booze or Coal?
SIN the opinion of the representa-
tive committee of operators, which
comprises in its membership deleg-
ates from virtually every large coal
producing field in the nation, the
country cannot have both booze and
sufficient coal this winter. Nor can
the country keep booze in the mining
sections and have enough coal later
on. The liquor traffic is %curtalllng
coal production and the time has
come to eliminate it if there is to be
the substantial increase in coal out
put the war program demands.
"This conclusion was reached un-
animously after thorough and pains
taking investigation by the commit
tee. The National Coal Association
is informed that the conclusion is not
only the judgment of the operators
but it is concurred in by Frank Far
rington, president of the United Mine
Workers of America for the State
of Illinois.
cit is understood that Fuel Ad-
ministrator Garfield has transmitted
the recommendation of the National
Coal Association to President Wilson,
who now has it under consideration"
Based on Production Comparisons.
The Coal Production Committees
recommendation to the association
was:
"Regardless OF political affiliations
of the members of tn. association
and leaving out of consideration the
moral issues involved, and passing its
opinion entirely on economic and pa
triotic grounds, the committee unan-
imously and unqualifedly believes
that national prohibition for the pc
Rod of the war is absolutely neces-
sary to- make effective this or any
other plan for increased coal produc-
ton. A comparison of the records of
production of mines in wet and dry
territories furnishes ample proof of
the need of prohibition. The various
instances cited to you need not be
repeated here, but they typify the
experience of operators throughout
the entire country"

Sunday Knitting-How a Min
lister Views 1t.
0SSary.

I'm the first place, Sunday knitting
is a fad, the fashion Of the hour
among those who do not think, and
who make excuse of the plea Of ne
cessity. There is just n chief rea-
son for going to church and that IS
that God may be worshipped, and the
best knitter in the land cannot really
worship and work at the same time,
even though the work may seem to
require no attention as it is done au-
tomatically. Those who conscien-
tiously decide that they must knit on
the Lords Day, will undoubtedly do
it, and some will bring their work in
to the brief hour of worship. We will
warrant that these women omit knit
ting many hours during the week,
surely while they are at the table and
yet they would knit while their souls
are being fed!"

tack on the Sabbath, taking advan-
tage of the opportunity afforded by
the interest in the war. The baseball
leagues are trying to force the gates
of their parks open on the Sabbath,
compelling communities that never
granted this permission to grant it
now, under a promise to divide the
receipts with some patriotic cause:
It is a most unpatriotic and avari-
cious attempt to destroy the benefi-
cent institution of the Sabbath.
"In the same way men are working
in fields and gardens on the Sabbath
on the specious plea that they are
patriotic in doing SO. So some NUM-
ton factories are trying to run seven
days each week. Paraphrasing Mad
anne Rowland's words we may say:

BULK OF GERMAN
RESERVES IN REAR
OF S0MME FRONT
British Leaders Expect Ene-

(By Associated Press.)

London, May 10.--"The bulk of the
German reserve is still in the rear Of
the Somme front and it must be as
sumcd the enemy's big, main effort
viii be in that direction" said a rep
resentative of General Radcliffe, chief
director of military operations at the
war office, in summing up the week S
war developments today. 1T is equally
certain that he will not discontinue
his attacks in Flanders"
In the period between March q,
when the German offensive was be-
gun, and April rs, the losses of the
French were only one-fourth to one
filth those of the British, General
Radcliffe's representative added. Since
April Is, he said, there has been no rea-
son to believe the losses of the
French have been any heavier than
those Of the British, (The losses of
the British since March q were esti-
mated at nearly 250,000)
This information was given out in
refutation of German propaganda as
sertion that the French have been

SHOWN IN APRIL
SHIPPING LOSSES
Total Allied and Neutral Ton.
mage Sunk 381,631, Com
pared With 634,685 Same
Month Previous Year.

Washington, May 10.-Ofticial
French statistics on the submarine
warfare received here in a dispatch
from France today show that the total
losses of the allied and neutral ships,
including accidents at sea, were ap-
proximately only one-half as great
during April this year as in April,
1917.
In April last year 634, 4,6s5 gross tons
were lost, while this Aprips figures
are 38l,63l. Submarine attacks now
are more costly to the enemy, the dis
patch points out, owing to the fact
that the attacks are chiefly made with
torpedoes instead of gunfre as was
the case before merchant ships were
adequately and efficiently armed.
Attention also is,cailed to the fact
that each time the Germans have
made an offensive on land they have
made corresponding effort with
their submarines. Thus, during the
second half of March, the number
and activities of submarines increased.
The first half of April marked very
distinct lessening, attributed to the
counter efforts of the allies.
