SAME OLD STORY.

NXIE are back to familiar conditions in the Faimont
wv coal region when with l,l46 empty coal cars re-
ported on the division there was placement of but 036
at the hour the miners went to work and some of the most
important operations on the Monongah division had no
cars at all
The Railroad administration has had plenty of warning
of what coming in the mining districts but nothing has
been done to guard against congestion and delays due to
car shortage and inadequate motive power Indeed it will
be surprising the amount of service the railroads are able
to to the mines this summer and fall does not suffer
by comparison with the totally inadequate conditions which
former seasons showed
If there fuel shortage this winter the Railroad adj
mnistacn almost alone will be responsible for it first by
conducting price war which encouraged ordinary con-
sers TO delay buying, thereby making traffic jam in
eyitabe and then by negectng to do anything whatever
to improve the coal carrying efficiency of the roads.

w government was defeated on an issue which the
Premier had made question of confidence by vote of
259 against the government to 20 for it. illustrates one of
the dangers which the existing governments on the Allied
side have been exposed to because of the long drawn out
character Of the peace conferences. A month ago the
Orlando cabinet enjoyed high measure of public conf
dsnce yesterday it actually was repudiated and unless
King Victor acts with more than ordinary resolution it will
have to surrender the rens of government What effect
that would have upon the situation in Paris is matter for
conjecture
Premier Orlando probably has himself largely to blame
When Italy mpealistc designs received check at Paris
he made attempt to bluff his program through by going
home and stirring the Italian people. He did succeed
in arousng very formidable amount of naonalistc SEN
