Coal Conservation.

Coal conservation is urged upon all
against actual famine in fuel. Gen
eral response to this request is to be
expected. The necessity comes at a
most difficult time Not only is there
need of coal for heating and lighting
the days are now nearest the shortest
range and the need of light is great
est. Furthermore, business is at its
briskest point on the eve of the holi-
days. The large retail establishments
must, in order to meet the public de-
mand, maintain full service.
Measures to speed up the production
of coal are developing in the west with
some success. Coal supplies are not
being depleted as rapidly as before,
although the production is still far
below normal demand, and, in truth,
below the point of safety in terms of
ohai CSoioiuS III QSC. II VIII lC-
quire the services Of at least 100000
more miners than are now at work to
meet the most rigidly conservative de-
mands of the country.
Already serious results from coal
shortage are being reported. Indus
tries are being suspended for lack of
fuel and many thousands of men have
been thrown out of work. Great suf-
fering is certain to ensue from this
enforced idleness, particularly at this
time of year. A continuation of the
process Of shutting down is certain
to bring the country to state of ca
lamity in short time.
Coal conservation in in no sense a
cure of the evil. It is merely a pal
liative of the ill-effects of that evil.
Yet it is compassed within narrow
limits, and even when all luxuries,
amusements and not actually neces-
sary services are curtailed there still
remains need for coal that must be
supplied else the country is plunged
into disaster worse even than war.

Americanizatiou,

The drive Of the Episcopal Church
for funds, which is now in progress, is
one that has wider appeal than the
bounds of that denomination. A very
large part Of the money which it is
hoped to. raise by this means will be
devoted to the work Of Americaniza-
tion, work in which every citizen of
the United States is directly concern
ed. This church, with others, has
adopted Americanization as one of its
forward efforts for the good of the
whole country. Other organizations
are working to the same end. It is a
national endeavor, made necessary by
evils that have crept into our system
through years of neglect of an es
sential duty. Americanization means
citizen-making. It makes for stability
of our institutions, for security, for
political and social development.
While much is being done by federal
government, by the states and by the
municipalities the churches can help
greatly in Transforming those who
have come to the United States from
foreign countries, especially speaking
a different language, from aliens into
citizens, and in enlightening their
families in American ways and modes

sinuating the Scapa Flow affair as a
new issue. But this cannot be per-
mitted, and there is no reason to be-
lieve that it will be.
Ratification and acceptance with
Germany are synonymous. Germany
is in no position and must not be
allowed to think she is in a position
of dictation or dispute. If any ground
is given on this matter of the Scapa
Flow sinkings or the Lithuania settle
ment, or any other item, Germany
will take the fullest advantage of it.
1t is not unjust to distrust Germany
in all things. 1t is not unfair now
to assume that this Scapa Flow item
is being used as means to the end
of reopening the whole case, that the
delay in ratification here is being re-
garded as an opportunity for Ger
many to Treat the treaty of Paris as
a scrap of paper. Mr.. Polk's succinct
statement to Won Lersner and Mr..
Laws declaration at Glasgow indicate
that there is no likelihood of any sue
cess attending this new Teutonic de-
vice to escape punishment for the
crime of 1914-1S.

Two Excellent Appointments.

Mr.. Glass goes from the Treasury
Department to the Senate in time to
take part in legislative discussions that
will interest him and the country very
much. After the session gets into its
stride we shall hear about the tariff,
about supplies for running the gov
ernment, about internal taxes, and
other matters of money character.
His year as financial adviser to the
administration has enabled Mr.. Glass
to qualify for prominence in such de.
bates. He has learned a great deal
on those subjects which the executive
will now be able to turn over to the
legislator for the latter's use.
Mr.. Alexander goes from the House
to the Department of Commerce in
time to employ as an executive much
of the information he has gathered
as a legislator. As a representative
he has had to do with number of
questions which as Secretary of Com.
merce will engage his attention. He

Germany Not to Escape.

A clear statement of the position of
the United States in respect to the
final proclamation of peace was given
yesterday at Paris to Kurt Won Lers-
ner, chief German representative at
Versailles, by Mr.. Polk, head of the
American delegation. He said:
"If there can be in the United
States several ways of understanding
the treaty there are not two ways of
understanding the obligations incum-
bent upon Germany nor the affection
binding the United States and its
allies"
If there is any disposition in Ger
many to take advantage of the delay
here in ratifying the peace treaty, on
the assumption that it indicates a
separation between the United States
and the allies in respect to the puni.
tive and preventive measures to be
applied to Germany, this statement
should quickly correct it.
In an address in Glasgow last night
Andrew: Bonar Law, government lead
er in the house of commons, said
speaking for the British government,
and, he believed, for the allies, they
had the power, and, if necessary, would
exercise it, to insure ratification OF
the treaty by Germany. In point Of
fact, Germany has already ratified
the treaty by acceptance. Acquies
cence in the final protocol should bt

efficiently in his new Office because
of the character Of his long service on
Capitol Hill. Legislator Alexander
will be of valuable assistance to Sec
retary Alexander. They will be two
gentlemen in one, and both working
for the government.
The country needs such men in pub
lie office today. Experience united to
capacity was never more necessary in
the conduct of our governmental af-
fairs. We are in a new relation to
the world. We are embarking upon
new ventures. We must lay our
course with great care. We must ad-
just old processes to new things and
achieve results which leave original
foundations unimpaired. The same
old United States-the same old "gov-
ernment of the people, by the people,
for the people"-must continue to
function for all the people.
Both Mr.. Glass and Mr.. Alexander
are old hands at the bellows. Both
have excellent House records. They
have ranged with the doers rather
than with the takers. Their activities
are associated with important legis-
lation. They have fully justified the
confidence exhibited by their con-
stituents. Both are veteran legislators,
Mr.. Glass, with eighteen years to his
credit, Mr.. Alexander with fifteen.
Mr.. Glass has had a year in the
Treasury Department, with excellent
results to the country and his own
reputation. He is returning to Capt.
tol Hill with the pleasant assurance of
"well DONE" Mr.. Alexander will have
at least sixteen months in the Depart
ment of Commerce, and in that time
should fully justify his appointment.
They will be months packed with op-
portunity for service in one of the
most important fields now opening to
the country-commerce, on larger
scale than we have ever known.

Subscription Rate by Mail.
The Estimates.

The chairman of the Senate com
mittee on appropriations-an expert
erced legislator, and by reason of his
experience and position an influential
member of the Senate-describes the
estimates for supplies for the fiscal
year 1921 as "wildly extravagant," and
warns Congress against the figures
Presumably, when the time comes, in
committee as well as later in the open
Senate, he will enlarge upon the theme
and add to popular interest in the
subject
Meanwhile, the figures will undergo
scrutiny by the House, both III com
mittee and in the open chamber. The
House, in the way of parceling out
revenue as well as of raising it, has
the initiative That the House will
revise the estimates is certainty. So
that the figures the Senate will handle
will differ from those Mr.. Warren
now critieises.
There is in the situation a reminder
of what Congress faces in this mat
ter, A great deal of money is neces-
sary for the governments support,
and liberal portions of it are asked
for new purposes. There is impor-
tant debate in every one of the sup
ply bills, and time should be allowed
for it. At the very start some sort of
estimate should be made of how much
of the session should be assigned to
these measures, and the allowance pro-
tected against intrusion. There are
many other measures that Congress
will be asked to consider, and some
have strong claims on attention. But
Uncle Sam must have money for the
running of his establishment, and
every dollar of it should be voted be-
fore .ipne 30 next.
Poht,es, inevitably, will enter into
these discussions. Some of the most
spirited partisan controversies have
grown out of running debates on sup
ply bills. The party in control of
Congress is held responsible for all
appropriations, and yet it is often the
case that criticism of what has been
voted comes from members of the op-
position who had helped to swell the
amounts when the measures were TAX
ing shape.
Nearly seven months will elapse be-
fore the close of the present fiscal
year. But one of them-the present
month-should be subtraeted in con-
sidering this question. Congress is
expected to take the usual holiday re-
cess of two weeks. Hence, the
brethren will not get down to cases
on these bills until early January. But
from that time until the end of June
there will be, the strongest reason why
the governm ent's supplies should re-
ceive all the attention that Congress
can bestow upon the subject consistent
with its other duties.
But let US not forget Mexico. If
we are forced to intervene in the af-
fairs of that country in the discharge
of a national duty, the work of the
session and many of the estimates
just submitted will have to be recast.
The prosecution of the war will be-
come the first consideration.
