 Turning from the League of Nations to the question of Bolshevism, Mir. Daniels said he understood that iany people believed Bolshevism to be an imminent peril to the nation. He de- clared that BolsheWsm and anarchy are one and the same thing, alike en- emies of law and order. He warned that there are enough jaiIs in America to accommodate all those who would bring about chaos.
 "The boys who are coming home are not going to stand for any foolishness" he said, land they are going to bar foolishness not only from anarchists, but from plutocracy and privilege as well. They have fought to make the world safe for democracy safe for the world. Sow privilege and you reap oolshevism. America should stand for equal opportunity for all men to fight the battle of life. These boys are go- ing to rule America because they saved America and saved the world, and have the title deeds to the land and to the Government"

PRODUCTION OF FUEL
 BRIQUETS IN 1918

The production of fuel briquets in the United States in 1918 was 477,231 net tons, valued at $3,212,793, an in- crease, compared with 1917, of 7o,37s tons, or 17 per cent, in quantity, and of 7e7e,eo1, or A per cent, in value. The production in 1918, which repre- sented the results of the third sue cessive year of- material progress in the indutry, was the highest yet re corded. 1t was more than double that in 1915.
 In the Eastern States production in . eased 5o per cent, in the entraI States 57 per cent, but in the Pacific Coast States 1t decreased 36 per cent.
 The number of plants in operation n 1918 was enc less than in 1917. Three of the plants that were operated 'n 1917 were idle in 1918, those elf the Denver Coal By-Products Go. formerly the American Coat Reduction & By -roducts Col, in Colorado; the John son Fuel Co.,, in North Dakota, and the American eriquet, Co.,, ill Pennsyl vania. Two new companies, at Tren- ton, N. J., began operations in 1918, .he Fuel Rriquet Co.,, and the Trent Brick Go. The Belgian Coal Etiquette Co.,, of New York City, and the An thraeite eriquet Co.,, of sunbury, Pa, expect to begin operations in 1919.
 Of the 12 plants in operation in 1918, 6 used anthracite as raw ma teriaI, i Arkansas semianthraeite, i semibituminous slack, anthracite cull and bituminous slack, 1 bitumin- ous slack and subbituminous coal and 2 oilgas residue. Coal-tar pitch and asphatic pitch were used as binders by 6 plants, i used sulphite pitch, 2 used no binder, and used vegetable binder or employed special processes.

tune in other countries.
 The banks are buIeing with money. The people of this country are rich. Their government borrowed billions, but it borrowed from the people who nave recovered most of the money in business and at the same time hold the bonds, which are drawing interest. The bankers df the country are eau tious-a good trait in bankers, if 1t does not degenerate into mere sheep ish timidity. Would it not be we'll Tor the banke"s to examine themselves I'd the country and ask whether they gre not b't too cautious for the pest interest of all concerned. Does the United States depend upon the peace conference after all. Is it not rather fact that the United States has been held back to- long in it's normal do- nestle development until 1t is too c'amped. The 1oo.ooo,o0o indivIdu. ais of this codntry want more rail roads, more buildings, more homes. more schools, more churches, more su- burbs, more farms. more gardens, moe oI' everycI ing hat brings comfort. Why shouldn't the people have what they want when they have the money to buy it.
 With all due respect to the strength of the late German Empire. it seems to us that many Americans are con ceding too much to the prowess of the enemy when they are afraid to go rorward in business because of "unset- tied conditions" Are they afraid that Germany will come back and start an- other war. Not chance! Nor will anybody else start war that need bother the un'ted States. This migh- ", eager nation Is suffering now from nothing more than false state of mind on the part of it's own people. They have been shaken and are un- easy. Let them think twice and they will perceive that the old United etates is intact. bigger and richer than "ve~. with sr7ater nrestige abroad and 1reater markets both at home and abroad than ever before. The victory of liberty cid not hurt the United States, however terribly it wounded Germany. The free nations will give Hna dreamed of giving. All that Americans need to do now, if they wish prosper ity, Is to GU: out foreign notions of 1overnment, throw away their worry ~ver the peace coreerence and the set tIer,ent oF foreign questions, ROLL uP THEIR SLEEVES AND GET RUSY.

The United States---A Going Concern

There is a passing uneasiness in the 1ublic mind in the United States which s manisesting itself in various ways. The war has shaken individuals out of heir former easy habits of thinking " not thinking-and the acquisition of knowledge is proving acuteiy painful 70 many kinds ofbrains. Some of hem are unequal to the strain of ab- 'orbing truth. They are turning sour,
 essimistic or bolshevist, according to he temperament of the individual. 9ne type of mind that seems to be in- 'reasing in numbers is that which
 ouId throw away all the good that as been acquired through century ,T effort. to ebmrace notions that can 'ot stand ten minutes of quiet andy 'is. This kind of haIr-trigger Ameri-
 enism is reveIing now In the chaotic
 +ate of affairs, hoping to see com
 'ete overturn in which he will stand chance of grabbing some advantage which he cannot hope to acquire in honest competition with hIs fellows.
 The fault, however. does not lie with he shallow-pated or the merely un- ripe intelleets. Some of the strong st business men In the country are behaving as though their brains had deserted them. Instead of concentrat- ing upon the new problems that are resented and quietly comforting upon
 vays and means to cooperate on sensible course of action. they are throwing fuel upon the bolshevik bon coming. But it is not presumable ,cts. Others have drawn into their shells, refusing to loosen their minds or their pocketbooks for the sake of 'eepire the wheels turning. They ex- -use t.s turtle-hke maneuver by as- sertin that "no one knows what Is -omin .' and i've must wait to see what the peace conference will do," or similar nonsense.
 Of course, no one knows what IS coming But it is not prescmable
 hat the richest, strongest, most sol
 'ent, most active and most independ-

DANIELS CALLSLEAGUE
 A SUBLIME DOCUMENT.

If the formation of the League of Nations had failed the war would have been fought in vain, declared Secretary of the Navy Daniels last night at services held in St. Paul's End Avenue and EIghty-sixth Street, by the Methodist Social Union, to honor the 25o,ooo members of that creed who served in the war. pr. Will liam J. Thompson presided and Hi- shop Luther H. Wilson also spoke.
 "Yesterday was golden day in the history of the world" says pr. Dan- iels, for fourteen nations, representing 12oooo,ooo people unanimously agreed upon document which makes Mag 2a charta and the Declaration of In- dependence mere forerunners of an immortal instrument that blesses all the world for all generations. They were the John the 6aptists preaching make straishtthe path For the Pro- phet of peace on earth, goodwill to- ward men.
 "The draft of the League of Peace is almost as simple as one of the par. sbles of Jesus, and almost as illumin- atiny and as uplifting. Today fresh wind blows over the world, the nox. ious gases of balances of power, 80. cret diplomacy, protected frontiers, conscription, and composite navy building read their doom in the de- cree of this true Parliament of man, which has seen theories and dreams find practical insura5ce, and ideal ism made the most real thing in all the world. lii..
 "An air of satisfaction yprevails everywhere" is the comment ,of cor respondents cabling from Patis. Out of travail and debate has come this child of our hopes, lusty and strong. In the crucible of love, all differences were welded into indestruetible metal which no provincialism or partisanship can break or bend. Woodrow Wilson, to whose inflexible purpose and lead. ership chief credit is due, truly said "it is a union of wills which canot be resisted, and which, l dare say no na- ton will run the risk of attempting to resist. The document, the atmos- phere in which 1t was conceived the devout feeling of thanksgiving with which it has been received, have all the evidences of the sublime.
