one in the outer office but the fluffy

Philadelphia. March 1.-THE Phil

expanded during the war.
Nearly $20,000,0o0 has been appro-

enormous drydock, 1,064 feet long

be so constructed as to accommodate
two ships at one time.
Two new ways 900 feet long for
building battleships. a large structur-

PROFTTEERING IN TURKEY
DURING WAR WAS EXTREME

London March 7.-Profiteering was
carried to such an extreme in Turkey
during the war that, in the opin on
Of a special representative of the
British press at Constantinople. it
passes comprehension how people
managed to live. Writing from Con-
stantin ople, he says:
There is no doubt that Turkey,
during the war, was largely the play
thing Of Enver Pasha, Talaat Pasha
and their band Of satellites. They re-
duced the country to a state of whole
sale corruption remarkable for Tur-
key and in amassing riches them
selves allowed economic conditions to
become a nightmare.
nowhere else in the whole area of
the war have the prices Of commodi-
ties approached anything like the
heights known here. The right to use
a railway wagon was sold for 1000
pounds. a prof1teer who secured it
bought, say, sugar from Austria or
Germany at a shilling or SO a, pound,
and sold it at two or three hundred
times its value, making $4,000 pounds
or more on a single consignment of
modest dim ensions.''

GREAT BRITAIN MUST
PRODUCE MORE COAL
Low Production Keeps Industries
Down. Plenty Ii It Is Mined

London, Jan. ID, Correspondence
of The Associated Press) .--More coal
must be produced by the United
AlnGdom If Great Britain's manufac-
turers are to successfully compete in
the worlds market with those of
other nations, declare we'll informed
economists. They point to an ap-
parent inability of Great Britain to
produce enough coal to keep her in
dustries at top speed and at the same
time provide for the comfort of the
people.
1t is claimed there IS an abundance
Of coal in the United Kingdom. New
mines are being opened and developed
in South Wales, the chief source of
supply for many years. but the cost
OF operation Increases as the deposits
near the surface are exhausted.
New fields have been DEVELOPED
elsewhere, notably in Yorkshire. Not
tingham seems to have an inexhaust-
ible supply of coal but developments
there have been hampered by the alb
sence of many miners drafted for the
army.
Experts have discovered that the
amount of coal annually produced bv
each person employed in the mines
has declined from 312 tons in 1890
TO 244 tons in 1912. This is contrast
ed with reports from the United
States showing that production of coal
there annually has increased from
400 tons per person employed in 1890
to $50 tons in 1912:
This prOpOTtiOnIte decrease of
British coal production is attributed
to two Causcs-failure to adopt new
and improved machinery and systems
of operation and demands of miners
for more pay and less work.
Confronting a period which the
general. public has been led to be-
lleVc Great Britain's most important
era Of industrial expansion, British
industry is demanding cheap coal.
Nevertheless, miners in some sections
demand a 6-hour working day five
days week while in other sections
the men want to be paid for 20 min
lltes for refreshments, meaning tea
one writer points out that while
the cost of producing coal has doubled
in Great Britain since 1886, the cost
of production in the United States
was less in 1912 than in 1856. Eng
land, he declares. must have cheap
coal to carry on her highly developed
manufacturing industries in cOmpc-
tition with other countries who have
that advantage.
