CHANCE FOR COAL EXCHANGE
Britain Has Too Much Anthracite and
New York Has Surplus of
Bituninous.

In England the coal controller
is trying to induce the people to burn
anthracite in place of bituminous coal
He offers to exchange two tons of
large anthracite for every ton of BIZ
luminous coal that consumers have on
hand In the eastern United States
the fuel administration has been try
ing to get consumers to use bituminous
coal in place OF anthracite. Welsh
anthracite mines are operating on part
time, while English and Welsh btu
minous coal mines are working over
time, says the New York Commercial.
This would be a fine chance for ex-
change of products If shipping were
available, and it soon will be. New
York city needs anthracite and can get
a surplus of bituminous coal. Eng
land needs the latter and can spare
the former. In England most of the
people do not know how to burn am
thracite. New Workers are ignorant
of the way to use bftumfnous coal. The
English persist in using open CRATES
for heating rooms, and find it hard
to make anthracite burn in them Ia
New York the open CRATE is found only
in the homes of the wealthy Eng
land shivers with plenty of anthracite
in sight, while New York is threat
ened with a famine of domestic sizes
of anthracite. Each regards the
other as pig-headed because neither
knows how to use the fuel available.
It's an odd world.

Dutch Select Wireless Site.

The site for the wireless station in
tended for communication between the
Netherlands and the Dutch East In
dies has finally been decided on The
Koelberg hill, which is SO meters high
and located in HoOg-BuurlO, near APPEL
doom, was selected, according to the
Scientific American.
A new railway line will be con-
structed from Kaatwyk- The station is
to have four towers, each 21O meters
high, a large power house and build
ing for housing the operatives The
communicating station in India is to
be built near Bandoeng in the Prean-
ger so that the distance between the
two stations will be some 1900 kilo-
meters.

WELCOME DEATHS COLD HAND
Little Wonder That Men Who Realize
Their Appalling Loneliness Should
End 1t All.

Alone. Not a living soul near to
whom to speak. Forsaken 1T seems al
most by God, whose presence scarce
can penetrate the confused jangle of
the city slums. Alone and penntless,
with none to know or care 1t is a
harder lot by far than death what
wonder that men die?
Alone-with bitter thoughts OF fall
ure crowding through the interstces
of a sluggish brain. Alone-w1th not
even two coins to rub in warming
friction, c1ammy hands thrust into
empty pockets. 1t is hard to live and
doubly hard to die. What wonder thaI
men kill that breathing, pulsing thing
within we call life? What wonder
that men pass by their own hand
from living death to deathless living!
They come and stay with US a While
and pass, defying God and man,
themselves def1ed. And only they
whose hearts beat with a richer, warm
err redder blood will understand

PATHS Beauty vanishes.

According to a writer in Everybody's
Magazine Patti lives, not only IN our
hearts, but really, in the flesh, at the
age of Seventy-six, in her magnlhcent
castle of Craig-y-Nos, ten miles north
of Swansea, in South Wales, on which
she has spent quite half a million
She lives there with her third husband,
Baron Cederstrom, and sometimes,
when they feel inclined, they throw
open their theater, a replica OF the
Baireuth theater, to the country side
and give one of the operas in which
Patti once thrilled the world Until
recently Patti was even sometimes
prevailed upon to appear at Albert hall
in London for the benefit of some char
ity, but her beauty is quite gone-1t
vanished far earlier than her voice
and so for the most part she is hap
piest in her Welsh Businesses among
the nefghbors, who will always call her
the Queen of Wales"

March 1sts 1919
Dear Ones at Home:
Is This is a fine day, one like we sell
dom see here. I am sitting on the
south steps of the Y. M c. A. and
we have been passing pictures around
It's queer how most of us notice the
landscape around the picture
IF it is good day tomorrow may
go to the trenches and see if L can
find German machine gun belt
I think I can tell you when to look
for me in the States and that's in
the middle of May II expect to be
latter part of May.
We are going to get our pay
this afternoon and have saved about
$1,000 out of my months pay so
don't think that I have done so bad.
Last night bought half a dozen eggs
for 3 1-2 francs-that is about 20
cents-and dropped one of them. Of
course that will not do to continue
but I had to tackle one mess These
French people keep their cows, horses,
dogs, cats, chickens all in the same
building with themselves. This stock
never gets to see daylight except
when going to be watered.
I am feeling fine.
Your loving son,
Chester A. Riggs.
March 13, 1919, From France
Dear Home Folks:
We have moved at last. We are now
at little camp near La Mars We
got here yesterday Today we had
target practice. We were three days
the road and it was tiresome as
there were forty of US to each box car
and thew ara y01TUh ridin0
We are living in tents again and
like them fine. It seems like being in
Camp Mills. We are all happy. I
guess it's because our prospects for
going home are good. And besides we
are away from the old ruins, shell
holes and barbed wire entanglements.
We will be in this camp six days.
Then we move to some little town
where we will stay for perhaps three
or four weeks Then oh! you steam
boat! sailing toward Gods country
[ think you can expect to see me the
latter part of May or the first of
June. John Mcknight will probably
get home in July. Some of the boys
heard from home today. They say
there is lots of rain. So I hope you
get a big harvest.
Sunday, March 18TH
This is evening. I have just lit a
candle and put it up on my bayonnet,
which is convenient place for it.
This morning we had parade and
then a Catholic service in remem-
brance of our fellow comrades in bat
tie.
We are having it pretty easy now
adays and lots of games of all sorts,
everybody seems to be jolly and feel
ing bully. News are rather scarce, so
I will close for this time
Your Loving Son,
Chester A Riggs

BRITISH AIRSHIP Up
HUNDRED HOURS

LONDON, Feb. 23.-In the course Of
a discussion Of the aerial navigation
bill in the House of Commons, Major
Gen. John z. B. Seeley, parliamentary
undersecretary OF the ministry Of mu-
nitions, announced that the govern
ment intended TO make flying safer
BY providing a large number Of air
dromes, some % them military es-
Adjustments and some civil. The
government, General Seeley said,
would pay the entire cost OF the ex-
clusively military aiTdromes and
would start the movement by provid-
ing for civil airdromes, but it was
hoped that before long the last
named would become entirely self
supporting.
A British airship. according to
General Seeley. recently remained in
the air for more than 100 hours. At
an average speed OF fifty miles an
hour, the undersecretary added, the
airship must have covered more than
5000 miles. 1t was possible that the
airship could have continued longer
in the air, the speaker said. not
withstanding the fact that il encoun-
tered considerable wind.

This action has been urged by Her
bert Hoover. head OF the European
Relief Commission, who cabled the
Red Cross that "an immediate supply
Of every kind of clothing is abso-
lutely vital to the health and very
life OF the millions OF these men,
women. and children"
March should be about the right
time for such a collection, IL vas be-
lieved. inasmuch as the majority OF
the people are discarding winter
clothing during that month which
they do not intend to wear again.
The Red Cross. has already allotted
over $4,50O.OO0 worth OF textiles to
these people.
