WILSON FORSAKES IRELAND

Washington. - President Wilson's
failure to respond to the Borah reso-
luton, recently adopted, calling upon
the American peace delegation to OBJ
tain hearing at the peace conference
for Ireland and her representatives
has been sharply criticized in the Sen
ate.
Senator Borah, after he heard that
the President had done nothing, de-
clared that the attitude Of the peace
conference toward Ireland plainly
showed that the principle of self-de-
termination enunciated by Mr.. Wilson
had been plainly sacrificed to the i'm
perialistic ambitions of the European
nations. He said that both the Presi-
dent and the conference had failed to
meet the acid test in refusing to ap-
ply the self-determination principle to
subject peoples dominated by the AL
lies.
but Ireland" he said sis just one
instance. The cases of Kera, Egypt
and the Shantung peninsula are other
fragrant violations of the principle.

Senator Walsh, of Massachusetts
said the denial of Ireland's RICH
proved the insincerity of the confer
ence.

American Coal May Be Sent to Europe
to Make Up Alarming Coal
Shortage There.

Washington, d. c., July 12.-That
the United States may be called upon
to make up an alarming coal short
age in Europe, due in part to what
may amount to the destruction of Eng
lands great export coal trade through
labor difficulties, is indicated in re-
port just made to Director Van II.
Manning of the Bureau of Mines, De-
partment of the Interior, by George
S. Rice, chief mining engineer Of the
bureau.
Mr.. Rice, member of a commission
from this country to Europe to inyes-
tigate mining conditions, has just re-
turned to Washington after a several
months visit and with a gloomy out
look for the entire coal situation of
Europe.
perhaps the most serious changes
in the coal problems are taking place
in Great Britain, which has always
been the greatest coal exporting ma
ton of the world" said Mr.. Rice.
with a production of 2S7 million tons
in 1918, the last pre-war year, she eX-
ported seventy-seven million tons to
countries that were in dire need OF
coal"
The startling changes in the after
war period are based on the coming
award of the Coal Industry Commits
sion, a Parliamentary committee, the
report of which goes into effect July
IS, and which reduces the hours OF la
Dor underground from eight to sever
hours, and Subject to the economic
position of the industry at the end o
1920, the hours of labor underground
to be reduced to six" In discussini
the eect of this, Mr.. Rice quotes ST
Auckland Geddes as calling to the at
tention of the Houst of Commons tina
during the next year, under thi
award, the production of coal will b
lessened by 7O,OOO0OO tons, practical

together, before the war, she consum-
ed 62,00O,000 tons and imported from
different countries 100000 tons of
coal, coke and briquets. The mines
destroyed by the Germans produced
| 2O,000,000 tons of coal IN pre-war
times and at least two-thirds of the
destruction was systematic, wanton
and without military necessity.
1T is estimated by the French en-
gineers that it will take from two to
five years to restore the broken shaft
Innings and to unwater the mines and
rebuild the surface plants and that it
will take ten years to completely re-
store the production rate of those
mines. The taking over by France of
it's former provinces of Alsace and
Lorraine and its occupation of the
Saar district has, however, altered the
fuel needs of France.
Contrary to the general impress
sion, the coal mines of Belgium were
not destroyed by the Germans.
."Of the great allied nations Italy is
in the worst situation regarding fuel.
In 1913 it produced less than three
quarters of a million tons of coal and
imported from Great Britain that year
100000 tons.
ITO sum up the situation, western
and southern Europe is badly in need
of coal Heretofore, the deficiencies in
the different countries, amounting to
5O,00O,O00 tons a year, were supplied
by Great Britain, which now faces q
loss of its export business through
reduction in its coal production.
at will be noted that in 1913 Grea
Britain supplied 31,OO0,O00 tons tc

HARTFORD, CT, Dec. z, 1919.
Scarcely stalk of 1919 tobacco re.
mains hanging in the sheds at this
time. Not in the memory of some OF
the oldest growers can they recall q
year when practically all of the crop
was taken down so early in the season.
Damps have been frequent this year,
enabling growers to get the crop from
the sheds. Wednesday and Thursday
of last week produced another fine
damp and in consequence many grow.
ers worked through the holiday taking
down, many winding up the work oi
stripping for the season.
The result of getting the crop dowr
early will be that warehouses will re-
ceiye the crop earlier than usual anC
within the next fortnight some of the
crops assorted by the growers will be
received at the warehouses ready fol-
the casing and later the sweating pro.

is now being worked" at local ware
houses. Packages are well along with
the Shadegrown and the same is true

The bulk of 1919 tobacco including
all varieties has now been bought up
This is especially true in the large to

SPRINGFIELD. MASS. Dec. 2. 19l9

The Hamden County Tobacco Grow
ers, one of the largest of the farmers
co operative organizations in the Con-
nectieut Valley, viii begin operations
at Westfeld this week. Just how
much tobacco the Hampden county or
ganization will pack is uncertain. A
first class warehouse has been equipped
in Westfield and fair supply of tobac-
co is available at the outset which will
be increased as member growers take
down their crops. Members of the
Hampdan County Tobacco Groves are
obligated not to sell at less than forty
cents a pound in the bundle. As this
figure has not yet been offered for any
considerable quantity OF Sungrown to-
bacco in Hapmden county, the associa-
tion will probably handle several hum
dred acres of the 1919 crop. The Hamp-
den County Tobacco Growers organized
last spring but voted not to begin 0p-
erations until the 1919 crop was ready
for the warehouses.

LANCASTER, IA, Dec. 8, 1919.
Most of the buyers of 1919 tobacco
have come to the conclusion that, con-
sidering the present state of the leaf
tobacco market, they paid too much
for it. After the buying got brisk
prices skyrocketed, and the bulk OF
what was sold went at 20 and 20 cents
for wrapper. quality. and and cents
for filters. AT such prices this tobacco
will stand the owners 30 to 80 cents q
year hence, and that without profit,
either. AS some sold for "a and rs
cents, and a little for 26 cents, the
holders will have to get above SO cents
to break even, and 1918 goods can be
had now as low as 90 cents pound,
though or cents more is about the
standard selling price at present.
Just now, the 1918 tobacco is about
the only old goods in the local market.
Not much 1917 is left in dealers hands
and it has been selling around 35 cents.
Lancaster warehouses contain plenty
of 1917 goods and some older tobacco.
but this tobacco is not in the market,
being held by big cigar firms. Lately
they have been drawing pretty heavily
upon ii.

The situation of the Wisconsin mar
ket has developed no new or interest
ing feature during the past week. The
weather has been very cold with tenn
peratures running from zero to Is de-
grees below, and this added to the fact
that the market is so well advanced in
the absorption of the 1919 crop, have
tended to let things glide in easy tempo.
With the exception of some 1918 bundle
goods which is now going over the ta-
bles, nothing is moving in the ware
houses, and nothing can move until the
weather softens up. The Farmers
Warehouse association has not let go
of it's 1918 holdings, except the low
grades; in fact the sampling is not
quite done yet, owing to the fact that
the official sampler has been on the
sick list for some weeks. The 1000
cases, more or less, in the association
warehouses, ready for the market,
represent an attractive remnant of the
1913 Wisconsin. 1t is understood that
the plan is to divide it up. into lots of a
hundred cases, one or more lots going
at the time, or all the lots, to suit the
buyer. 1t is not anticipated that the
association warehouses will do much
packing of the 1919, as the crop is
pretty well contracted for by individual
packers. The warehouses may take
crops of individual growers for storage
but not on the plan of pooling for the
market.

Water Street packers report an un-

qualifying with the statement that the
tangible results of this insistent de-
mand would be much more satisfactory
to the packers and dealers if there were
more desirable tobacco available. Porto
Rico and binder grades of domestic to-
baccos are practically exhausted and
still the manufacturers continue to del
uge Water Street houses with requests
