Warning Against
Shortage Of Coal

Buy your coal now. during the sum
mer months. or you will have to pay
higher prices this fall and winter and
may be unable to get your orders hled
promptly even at higher prices.
This warning has been issued by the
United States geological survey. The
survey declares there is a shortage OF
coal In sight for this winter n says
there is grave danger Of lack Of this
necessary fuel during the cold days to
come.
The reasons for the shortage of coal
are various, the survey says. It goes
on to say THE human mind Is prone
to forget the discomfOrts of the past
in the comforts Of the present. The
coal troubles OF 1917 are in the back
ground the summer is here, why worry
about the future?"
1t is pointed out that coal a net be
stored in large quantities at h mines.
1t has to be moved when taken from
the ground, and unless there are orders
from the coal dealers the operators can
not keep the mines at capacity output.
The coal dealers will not give orders to
the operators unless they get them from
the consumers, and hence the probable
shortage unless the consumer starts
the ball rolling in time TO give the
mines time to mine sufficient OF the
fuel to meet the fall and winter wants
Of the nation,
Fill your coal bin now, Mr.. Consumer,
and save money and discomfort. Have
YOU supply delivered now to prevent
congestion at the dealers yards and
lack Of quick delivery in the fall months
or give your orders for early fall de-
livery.

Then he grasped the fact that the re-

hand %swooping out toward the reporter.
But Kehoe missed his hold. The re-
porter knew what to expect, and was

SUPERLATIVES IN BAD TASTE

General Pershing calls Sergeant Alvin Z.
York Tennessee mountaineer, who killed 70
Germans during the war; .after having been
classed as conscientious objector,' America S
greatest hero The spectacular feat performed
by Sergeant York is worthy of high commenda-
ton He was awarded the congressional medal
the distinguished service cross, and the CrolN
de Guerre in recognition Of it. Accounts thor
oughly authenticated, show that York and 20
other Americans were cut Off by the Zoe ana
that while his companions guarded their pflS-
oners German colonel and his staff, York
held off the attacking enemy with his rifle, Kill
ing 25 capturing 1872 and siencing 35 machine
guns. Beyond any doubt this was a valorous
achievement, especially for a man who had
scrui)leS against killing.
But-how is anyone to know That Sergeant
York was braver OF performed more credit
ably than thousands of others of Americas best
and bravest who were over there for the same
purpose? How is any one to know whether
thousands Of others of Americas soldiers, CIV
en- the same opportunity, might not have done
equally as well? Or is there any way Of know
ing that York was braver, more courageous or
faced greater sacrifice than the boys who went
over in the fighting and gave up their lives
without chance for individual plaudits decor
atiOns and triumphant homecOmlngs?
The war we have Just won is pre-emioenty
a poor basis for superatives applied to any
or group OF men. Because Of its immensely, and
the great variety of tasks that had to be per-
formed; because men who were burning with
eagerness to get into the fight were held in the
rear on prosaic though important work, while
others were sent up to die; because the heroism
of thousands cannot be recorded because it IS
not known, then, it is unWise and uncharitable
to single out one man who had the chance to
do the spectacular thing and say: This is the
countrys greatest hero Of the war;
Like as not York was not the greatest
hero In all that maelstrom Of battle there very
probably were others who did greater things ii
we but knew who and what they were. Very
likely there are men who never went across the
sea whose sacrifice Of ideals, hopes ambitions
to enter the service put them on plane equally
high.
1t is too bad that this Characterization Of
one man should have come from General PerSh-
ing chief of the army. It is unfortunate that
morale is not today so prime and essential as it
was q short time since, for General Pershing, in
pronouncng this praise Of York has left no.
thing more to be said for any man who might
come after him.
Comparisons are always invdous in such
cases as this.

MERCHANT MARINE

The significance Cf the reported decision at
Paris that the entire feet of German ships in
termed in American ports at the beginning Of
the war is to be taken over by the United States
government can best be gained by comparing
its total of 654 $50 tons with the fact that the
entire merchant marine under the American flag
engaged in foreign commerce and whaling in
1914 aggregated ,076, 142 tons. BY this single
transaction the American fleet suitable for for
eign commerce is increased so per cent.
What disposal is to be made of this fleet,
together with the scores Of ships contracted for
by the Shipping Board is matter still on the
knees of the gods. They may be sold by the
government to private shipping interests; they
may be leased to such interests for operation;
they may be operated by the government itself,
in an experiment in government functoning that
is without parallel in the history Of the world.
But whatever shall be determined as the fu-
ture policy, the fact remains that the merchant
marine problem Of the government, including
not only what we commonly term the 'naviga-
tion laws" but the diplomacy and legislation
pertaining to foreign trade, must in the future
rank among the greatest of governmental re-
sponsibilites, and will be entitled to representa-
tion at the presidents cabinet table.
