The Coal Situation

Dr. Garfield, of the United States
Fuel Administration, and other prom
inent men who, we believe, are in a
position to know, have called the at
tention of the public to a serious
shortage of coal this early fall and
throughout the winter. From the
best information we can get, this is no
doubt true.
Last year we all put our coal away
early because we realized under war
conditions the demand that would be
made upon the coal producers to keep
the necessary war industries going
and we would have to protect our
selves accordingly. The past winter
was mild one and no doubt prevent
ed a shortage of coal, regardless of
the heavy storing by the people and
industries, and it is just possible, from
what we can learn, that the majority
of the people this year have concluded
there is no necessity of putting coal
away until the weather necessitates
purchasing.
The information that reaches US is
that the shortage of miners through
out the United States will result in a
greatly reduced production of coal.
The figures which have been furnished
US show that over fifty thousand coal

others to contribute their help in the
rebuilding of their country.

Improved Housing Conditions In
Washington

The congestion in Washington, D.
C. which resulted from the influx of
war workers, has now been consider
ably relieved, according to a state
ment of the United States Civil Ser
vice Commission. Fully 10000 per-
sons have left Washington since the
signing of the armistice, and a grad
ual further reduction will cause liv-
ing conditions in the Capital City to
continue to improve. The Commits
sion states that it is informed by the
Washington office of the Homes Re
gistration Service of the Department
of Labor that it is in position to pro-
vide rooming and boarding accom-
modations for all who apply for them.
The Homes Registration Service con-
stantly maintains a list of available
rooms in private houses. Where two
persons share a room, the room with
board, that is, the two principal meals
of the day, may be had for $40 or
$3.50 a month for each person. In
addition, the Government conducts at
tractive halls in which about 1900
women are accommodated. A separ-
ate room with board in the Government
residence halls cost S45 a month
Every comfort and convenience is
provided.
Notwithstanding reductions in some
branches of the service, the force in
Washington is so large that hundreds
of vacancies in permanent positions
are constantly occurring. Stenograph-
ers, typists, and bookeepers especially
are in demand. Full information anC
application blanks may be obtained
from post office or customhouse IL

Why She Is A Republican

Mrs. Raymond Robins on being
asked why she has aligned herself SO
actively with the Republican party
made this statement:
"The largest number of progress
sively minded men and women are in
the Republican party" answered Mrs.
Robins, instantly. ''They stand for
justice, for forward-looking princi-
pies, for high ideals. The southern
states, (the stronghold of the Demo
cratic party, represents the back
ward group of our country in those
issues in which I am especially inter
detse-the advertisement of women,
the protection of childhood in our
nation, the standardiziug of industry
for the best development of men and
women workers, and public school ed
ucation. Where there is Republican
ism~there are more liberal laws, bet
ter educations, higher ideals. That
is why am Republican. Hutshin-

Alarming News

The statement made by the Federal
Fuel Administrator, DR.. Garfield, the
President of the National Coal As
ISOLATION, H. N. Taylor, and other
prominent men, urging every consum-
mer to get his supply of coal immed-
lately, seem at first thought to exag-
gerate the situation, but careful in
vestigation through various sources is
conclusive of the fact that the true
seriousness of the situation has been
under, rather than overstated. I'm
less something akin to miracle oc-
ours, there will be a worse coal famine
in this western country next fall and
winter than ever before experienced.
But shortage of miners, labor Difficult
ties, car shortage and other troubles
which cause coal famines need not
worry the forehanded man who has his
bin full of coal. Those, however, who
have not laid in their winters coal
supply should heed well the warnings
given.

Past All Understandings.

FasG All Understanding.
One of the most humiliating chap
tiers in the history of the Wilson ad-
ministration VIII be that dealing with
the Russian situation. The inconsis-
tency of permitting Russian Bolshev-
lists to maintain headquarters on
American soil, while the Bolshev-
lists, in Russia, are waging war and
killing our soldiers is past all under
standing.
In its characteristic way the New
York Sun pays its respects to the ad-
ministration for trafficing with the
Russians outlaws who are killing our
soldiers. It says:
/ The Sun printed yesterday an As
ISOLATED Press message from Vladivo-
stOk, Siberia, dated June 10, delayed
in transmission, two sentences of
which are reproduced here:
''In fight at Uspanka village June
II four Americans were wounded and
one Bolshevik was killed and two
were wounded and four made prison
ers.
Walter Kellerman of Chicago was
killed and C.. H. Bachelor of Kansas
City and Chester Burt of Amigo, Wis.
were captured in a fight between
twenty-five troops and 200 Bolsheviki.
June II, 100 miles to the north of
Vladivostok. -
It is an interesting coincidence that
while these soldiers of the United
States engaged in the arduous task
of guarding the Siberian railroad
from Bolshevist attacks were suffer
ing wounds and death the state of
| New York is planning and executing
raid on the Bolshivist headquarters
maintained in the city of New York
thru the tolerance of the United
States government.
The same administration which sent
United States soldiers to be killed by
establishment and maintenance in the
BOlsheviki in Siberia permitted the
United States of an active Bolshivist
agency to support and strengthen the
Bolsheviki under arms in Siberia.
While in New York City the admin
istration at Washington tolerated the
activities of the Bolsheviki, in Siberia
it exposed American troops to death
at the hands of Belsheviki, just as the
same administration for months ex-
posed American soldiers to death and
wounds in the Archangel district at
| the hands of Bolsheviki while its peri
patetic head invited the Bolshevik
leaders to meet respectable and patri-
otto Russians in conference at Princes
Islands
Of all the mysteries of WiIsonian
philosophy none is more battling thar
that which envelops his Russian policy
or lack of policy. In it only one thing
is clear It sees no moral or political
shame in trafficing on equal terms

RED CROSS ASSISTING AMERI.
CANS in BERLIN

American citizens who have been
detained in Berlin since the United
States declared war on Germany are
now receiving assistance from the
work of the American Red Cross mis-
sion now in Germany is the distribu-
ton of relief among the hundreds of
thousands of Russian prisoners in that
country, the Red Cross workers are
extending help to such Of their ma
rooned fellow countrymen as need 1T.
For the most part this help consists
in supplementing the scanty govern
ment ration on which the Americans
have had a hard job keeping alive
during the last year or more. Ameri-
cans caught in Berlin at the time this
country entered the war and who have
been subject to the closest military
regulations during the conflict, are in
the great majority women and chill
dren, students and the like, with a
small number of business men. Most
of them are able and only too glad to
pay the Red Gross for its additional
food, though in needy cases the food
is supplied free.
Upon producing satisfactory evil
dence of American citizenship the
Americans are permitted to buy at
less than cost, food boxes containing
coffee, tea, sugar, beans, dried fruits,
canned tomatoes, condemned milk and
salmon. Thus far about 200 Ameri-
cans have bought these boxes. They
have been subject to the same ration
regulations as the German civilian
population, but they have been unable
to add to their food supplies from the
open market as do most of the Ger
mans.
