For some days past, there has been

through not only the scarcity, but the in

CHARCOAL IMPOSITION ON THE

We beg 10 call the serious attention OF
the Food Commission to tn pr0hteerlng,
beyond description, p|erpeuated b. the
retailers OF charcoal, especia ly on the poor
Nh0 cann0t help themselves against this
merciIess, outrageous action, as they are
without the means to purchase a barrel
OF SAID article.
Inagin1 a cent worth of coal to contain
only about Z pieces, when a barrel costs
60 cent. This per-centum realized from
a barrel of coal by rhe5e retailers borders
on an out-and-out SWINDLE; we there

We can understand the difficulty in set

to health that can he caused to the coal

Our suggestion IS, as THINGS seem still
to be abnormal, coal for the present
should be placed in bins for saIe.-Ibjd.

DISTURBANCE
WILL help THE
NATIONS LEAGUE
This is Hitchcock's Opinion
Regarding Hungarian
Trouble.

Washington, Marck 24.-Chairman
Hitchcock of the senate foreign re-
lations committee today said in his
opinion the Bolshevik wave in Europe
now manifested in Hungary will do
much to solidify the Allies in their
peace discussion and do more to put
through the final adoption Of the
league of nations plan than anything
else.
MIR. Hitchcock said the league
should be attached to the peace
treaty and adopted as soon as pos
sible. This, he declared, would do
much to end uprisings, because ship
mcnts of arms and ammunition from
all Countries members Of the league
could be stopped.
IT believe said Senator Hitchcock,
that sentiment for the league Is
gaining. Undoubtedly the desire to
know about it is growing, and from
the tone of the many invitations to
speak that l am receiving, I should
say this desire for information is
friendly rather than hostile. When
it comes to saying Yes or NO to
the league covenant az submitted, my
belief is that those senators opposing
the league in it's present form will
bow to that practically universal pub
lie sentiment that demands some sort
OF d league, and will say Yes"
Senator Hitchcock said the. position
of Japan on the racial question was,
in his opinion, the best thing that
has happened, and would tend to in
crease sentiment in this country for
the league. The Japanese stand, he
said, was largely for home con-
SUMPTION
Much of the apparent increased
opposition to the proposed constitu-
ton in Europe is due to hostile criti-
cism in this country, Mr.. Hitchcock
added.
Senator Hitchcock will address the

Gerious Situation.

Paris, March 24.-tBy the Associ-
ated Press. 1.-The situation is as seri-
Gus as that which arose when the
congress OF Vienna learned of Ma
poleon's return from Elba. Tuesday
as a hundred years ago, n~egotiators
have provoked and have been sur
prised by destiny writes st. Brice in
the Journal.
The problem before the council Of
ten today IL not the fate Of the Ger
man cables or the Teschen comrnts-
sion, but the imperative necessity Of
having Poland and Rumania rebuild
the water-tight compartment which
has collapsed" he continued. "Other.
wise Germany, declaring herself alone
in position to save western .civiliza-
ton, will lay down her own peace
terms instead Of those the Alliesepro-
pose to dictate to her, or will threaten
to take the lead in the Bolshevik
movement" -
This extract from an editorial &C.
curately reflects the views Of the
foreign editors Of French newspapers.
Some may express reserve as to how
far the movement is or is not in
spired by Germany, but they generally
all agree in placing the principal
blame for the events on the procras-
tination of the peace conference and
insisting upon immediate steps to
fight Bolshevism.

NEGOTIATIONS HAVE

Fl. Thomas, general secretary Of the

that most of the demands Of the
railway men had been conceded in
principle and from that point OF view
the negotiations had been a success.
The great difference, he added. was
not between the government and the

concerned. The government had

being made to obtain clearer interpre-
