A FUEL DISASTER?
Coal Shortage Worries German
Industrial Leaders.
Say Cold Will Fan BOlshevism
More Than Hunger.
tBy the Associated PressJ

Berlin. Aug. 15.-That all Europe is
facing disaster in the coal situation is
the common opinion of industHial and
shipping leaders who have been con-
ferring on the subject here for the last
few days. Walter Fehling of Ham
burg, a shipping expert, in discussing
projects for the coming winter so far
as Germany is concerned, declares the
fuel situation will positively prove a
more potent reviver of acute Bolshe-
vism than will food.
The question is can the hungry
people stand added privation and
freezing for three or four months" 3"
he said
Machine guns may subdue Bolshe-
vism but they cannot yield coal. Their
effect is purely negative while the
present critical situation calls for pos
itive accomplishments"
Experts estimate the shortage in the
German coal output for the next
twelve months will be approximately
100.000,000 tons and predict the
United States will be called on to help
out the continental shortage.

Because the Edison company in

Friday the Edison company was

England Without Any Repre-

Never Recognized Carranza.
VIII Not Do So Until British
Are Guaranteed Protection.

Washington, Aug. 16.-William
Cummins. British charge d'archives in
the City of Mexico. has been ordered
to leave the country by President Car
rama
While not specifically stated in the
dispatches from the Mexican capital
which have reached Washington. il
was understood that Carranza's action
resulted from the statement recently
made in the house of commons by the
British under-secretary of state, that
Great Britain had not recognized the
Carranza government and would not
do so until there was some guarantee
that the Mexican government was able
and willing to protect the lives and
property of British citizens in Mexico.
Lansing Is Informed
Charge Lindsay, of the British en-
bassy, brought the matter to the at
tention of Secretary Lansing today It
is understood that there is nothing to
be done except acquiesce in the decree
OF expulsion as Mr.. Cummings has no
official status in the diplomatic sense
and consequently cannot claim ex-
emption. 1t is believed in official
quarters. however. that the incident is
certain to have a marked effect on the
policy which the British government
will follow toward Mexico.
1t is expected that in the absence
of any official representation in the
Mexican capital, the British govern
men will, for the present at least, have
recourse to the good offices of the
United States or France. to look after
the extensive British interests in that
country.
