Right now we are not thinking
much of next winter coal, but dealers
and mine operators tell Us we had bet
ter think. Labor troubles at the mines,
regulations by miners unions, and trans
portation will play big part in the
supply. Surplus stocks are depleted,
and unless dealers and their patrons
take the coal as fast as mined, we are
going to suffer probable shortages next
winter. Coal mining like many other in
dustries seems to have suffered by too
much regulating the past two years,
and few people can afford to take the
chances on shortage next season.

The Sd division met the shock of

the Marine on their last great drive,
and Ludendorf's men left more
than 5000 dead in front of this
single division.
The lst division had $4,000 casu-

counter-stroke under Mangin in the
morning of July IS, which thrilled
the allied world and which turned

THE FIGHTING REGULARS.

1t is right for every city or state
to take particular pride in the
battle record of its guardsmen and
draft troops, but it is always the
regulars who are in the thickest of
the fighting. Receptions and local
enthusiasm are not for them, be-
cause they belong only to the coun-
try in general. but they can have
the consolation of knowing that
they are to America what the Old
Guard was to Napoleon.
The table of our losses in the
world war just issued by the gov
eminent is especially significant, and
it shows what a bulwark the regu
lars were. Three regular divisions,

CONGRESSIONAL VAPOR.

History should not overlook a lit
tie speech made in the senate cham
Der recently by Senator Thomas of
Colorado. Holding up a hefty vol
ume, he said:
This represents 1912 pages Of
the Congressional Record, covering
the concluding Is days of the las.
session-131 pages day. Il is said
that when water is expanded into
steam its volume has been increased
rs times. 1t might be said that
congressional oratory is diminished
10000 times in publication"
His arraignment of congressional,
and particularly senatorial, waste OF
precious time and opportunity was
amply deserved, remarks the Tacoma
Ledger. as anyone will testify who
remembers the delivery of those
1872 pages of so-called oratory.
or who viii take the trouble to run
through them in the Record. Most
of it is, as Senator Thomas sug-
gests, about a thousand times thin
ner than: steam, not TO say more
yaporous. And it was emitted at a
time when the biggest events with
which any American Congress has
had to deal in half q century were
hanging over the heads of the law
makers.
The present Congress has started
cut better, accomplishing a surpris-
ing amount Of practical construc-
tive work in the first few days. But
the senate already shows a DISPOSE
ton to revert to its besetting sin,
and talk instead of working.

Now that the Germans are get

''exorbitant prices" charged FOR it.
The situation is instructive both as
an indication of the rate OF &c

were notified some time ago that

that basis. These facts should be re-

GENERAL WOODS DECORATION

4 very large proportion of the
American people watched the ad-
ministration's treatment Of General
Leonard Wood with bewilderment
followed by Indignation and dis
gust, declares the Chicago Tribune
We do not think that presenting
General Wood with the Distinguish
ed Service Medal viii modify the
verdict which the public has quietly
found upon that sorry incident Of
the war. Richly as General Wood
deserves the high honor, we can
remark upon this award, we be
lieve, for most of US who have ap-
preciated his long and distinguished
service to the nation, Thank you
for nothing"
No eleventh hour recognition can
whltewash the fact that petty re-
sentiment and personal jealousy con-
spired to cheat the American army
and the cause Of the nation Of
considerable part of the benefit Of
General Woods exceptional gifts. Il
is true that like good soldier he
put personal consideration by and
did valuable service up to the limit
OF the opportunities permitted him
But that IS to the credit of General
Wood and not of the President and
the secretary Of war. The facts are
that upon our entry unprepared into
the war, when every man Of out
standing ability should have been
at once utilized 10 the utmost. NJ.
Wilson and Mr.. Baker were willing
10 put General Wood in a place o.
secondary importance, although thev

indeed first. Of our military men IL

Personal considerations overrulei
considerations Of the public need,
and General Wood was first moved

deprived Of the command he had
brought TO high state Of eff
cheney just as it was about to sail
for France, and at one time was
threatened with virtual retirement
by appointment to the department OF

When public indignation was
reused by this shoddy and unpatri-
otto course Of action, it was partly
allayed by inspired hints that Cen
eral Wood was being held at home
for some important service. But
these were of a piece with the
pusillanimity of the administration
