THE COAL PROBLEM.
Science win Find n Way With on

To THE EprToR OF THE SUN-Sh.$ Our
coal will not last forever"
To mind at least this one sentence
in Richard Hoadley Tingley's able and
interesting letter on the Problem OF
Power" IL by far the most impressive.
1t was considerably less than a CEN
fury ago that coal was found to be n
better and cheaper fuel than wood. Still
less time has passed since 1t came to
be almost universally used as fuel wher-
ever II could be had to use.
The world supply OF coal was for
a time thought TO be inexhaustible, but
tho demand of civilization for fuel has
already grown so great that in a COM
parativeiy short time some substitute
will have to be found. This may not
be In our generation perhaps not In
the present century, but II will be soon,
as time IL reckoned In history.

message 1t conveys win command at

Coal seems TO be indispensable. but

1t has been claimed that coal oil tkero-
sene) can be used in lieu of II and that
equally good results can be attained by
the use. but according to the experience
OF those who have experimental with it,
and there have been many, there are
serious difficulties In the way Of utiliz-
ing 1t as a substitute.
Here, then, seems to be a pressing de-
mand of civilization for applied science.
Surely, II oil will serve as n substitute.

is great, which 1t Is, some way ought
TO be found to overcome the objections

way as soon as possible.
Inevitably that will be done Civili-

The Perplexities of the German
situation.

The one essential need Of the ma
tons lately at war with Germany Is
that a Government shall be estab-
lished and maintained there which
may be trusted to keep Its word. Only
with such a Government can we safely
negotiate a treaty Of peace; only by
such Government can the conditions
Of the armistlce be carried out.
The reign OF autocracy has come to
IN end with the abdication Of the
Kaiser, who Is now merely the Mar
grave Of BRANpENBUR6. All signs
point toward the establishment Of a
German Republic; but, whatever form
Of government is adopted, there will
be no future for the German people
except anarchy and chaos unless they
possess sufficient self-restraint to pre-
serve law and order throughout the
length and breadth OF the land.
They must needs suffer greatly in
any event The great body Of the
German people seem willingly to have
aided and abetted the Kaiser In his
scheme to dominate the world; and
the way Of transgressors Is hard. II
the reign of law Is maintained In Ger

process Of political reconstruction, the
sufferings of the German people will
be greatly lessened and their future,
though hard, will not be hopeless. On

think those who cast all the blame OF

sal, upon the Kaiser are not Just or
philosophical.
Now the Kaiser was simply born and
educated TO a system and proceeded to
live up TO II. The man above all others
responsible for that system-"brood and
iron." as he called twas Bismarck
The fault or misfortune OF tho Kaiser
is that he had not the. sagacity and force
to break away from such an obviously
immoral and impossible system. His
tory win write him down as the weak
instrument of a political monster.
