Germany viii Be Unable
To Meet Stipulations
In Regard to Call for Delivery
of Coal to Allied
Nations,

Washington Sept. 4.-Germany
probably will be unable to meet the
stipulations of the peace treaty call
ing upon her to deliver coal to the
allied nations.
This fact was developed this after
noon before the senate subcommittee
investigating the coal situation, when
A. Y. Saint, representing the coal ex-
port division of the shipping board,
declared that it was "a very serious
proposition" whether Germany could
deliver the coal that the peace treaty
provides for.
Wont it be impossible?" asked
Senator IRELAND, of New Jersey.
mo, not impossible. The coal is
there, but it is a very great guess
whether they can get it out"
Saint produced statistics to show
that a world coal shortage exists

Referring to criticism that the treaty
violated American traditions. Mr.. Will

and that he was following the purposes

The labor section, Mr.. Wilson said,

realization of statesmen, he said, that
there could be no good government or

were satisfied.
