CZECHO-SLOVAKIA CAN
WEATHER THE WINTER
But 1t viii Be Only by Tightening the
National Belt and Careful C0nser-
walton and Organization of
Food Supplies.

Prague, Sept. IL Correspondence Of
the Associated Press) - By Tightening
the national belt hole and careful con-
servation and organization of food sup
plies, Czecho-S -Slovakia can weather the
winter safely, in the opinion of the
American food experts who have been
surveying the country. In fact, Czecho-
Sloyakia, particularly Bohemia, is said
to be good deal better off than most OF
eastern Europe. Her crops will run from
60 to 70 per cent of normal and of GER
tain valuable commodities she admitted
ly has some for export in return for
more needed supplies, such as raw mate
rials, notably cotton.
She has appreciable quantities of oats,
barley and hops that can be spared, as
we'll as some sugar and coal, and these
last two commodities are felt to be
about the most precious in Europe. In
return she wants wheat flour and cotton,
Her spinning industry is at a standstill
and experts claim that she needs ap-
proximately a hundred thousand bales Of
cotton to supply her own needs in tex
tiles.
The over supply of beet sugar is Cze-
cho- Slovakia's big and valuable asset and
gives her strategic position in Europe.
The general situation here is reassuring
to the American experts, and while there
will be deprivation, they believe that
with a well organized control of foods
and close economy there win be no real
suffering this winter

On Board President Wilson's Special
Train, Sept. l3 (By the Associated
Press When President Wilson's spe-
eial train stopped for few minutes at
Pasco, Wash, shortly after o'clock to-
night, crowd surrounded the private
car Mayfower and the president came
out to shake hands and exchange greet
ings with them. After telling several
stories he wound up by making short
speech, in which he said the war was un-
finished until the United States had as
sumed responsibility for its pledges that
future wars should be made impossible.
When he asked how so large crowd
had gathered without having the band
out, Mr. Wilson was told by one of the
boys present. that "the bands wore
out"
Another boy wearing faded bands
mans uniform, was thrust forward then
and presented as the sole member of
Pascos brass band. The president re-
marked that he did not look as though
he had wind enough, and then an old in
habitant confded that "He had given the
band SIS not to play tonight"
The talk then turned to the prevail
ing dry weather, Mr.. Wilson remarking
it was sandy country.

when he missed the ball. When asked
why, he replied that "Assouan" was the

AMERICAN COAL TOO DEAR,
Germany Does Not See Chance to Make
Purchase.

Berlin, Wednesday, Sept, 10 tBy the
Associated Press importation Of
American coal in quantities sufficient to
relieve Germanys need is regarded by
the press as inconceiyable, owing to
the cost. Although German American
negotiations have resulted in an offer
to send American coal to this country, it
is said the price Is so high, owing to
freight rates and foreign exchange, that
the importation Of coal in large quanti
ties is out OF the question
Coal experts of the Ruhr district are
against the movement to import foreign
coal, especially American. Peter Kloeck
ner one Of the leading Rhenish indus
trialists, recently declared American coal
cost 500 marks against 10 marks per
ton for German coal. Since he made this
statement the foreign exchange situa-
tion has become worse.
While recording a similar opinion. the
Vossiche Zeitung reports that Hugo
SHINES, director of the Woerman Ship
ping company, has already contracted for
American coal at 470 marks per ton, for
distribution in Berlin and Hamburg, but
will be given credit to a considerable ex.
tent.
