THE SHORT TERM NOTES.

In connection with the forthcoming

been contracted.
Heretofore the treasury department
has secured similar funds by means Of
long term bonds. Besides patriotism
there was the added stimulation OF the
army actually fighting the enemy when
they were fioated and ID could hardly
be expected that the people would be
as eager 10 shell out their money for
bonds OF that kind at par when others

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

A decision which should operate to
the rendering of Germany powerless
10 pose as a menace to the peace of
the world in the future is that which
has been reached by the supreme al
lied war council to the effect that the
great naval base at IIeligoland must
have its Notifications disrnantled. the
Kiel canal must be thrown open to use
by the vessels of other countries and
the Rhine must be internationalized.
Germany has spent half billion COL
lars for the purpose of making Heligo-
land impregnable. AS it stands today
II gives that country a tremen-
dous advantage in carrying On
regular naval operations, in service as
. base for submarines or as a haven
for airplanes. 1t is part of the foun-
dation upon which Germany would re-
~ extensively in endeayoring to re-
rtore militarism. It's elimination will
overcome the necessity. Of others; pre-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Licensing Cats.


Mr. Editor: A letter on the cat sub
ject has just been received from Mrs
Huntington Smith, president of the
Animal Rescue league Of Boston, in
which she says: Il am sending you
today my leaflets on the cat license
subject. l think it is really the fault
Of people who call themselves humane
that his subject is agitated so much.
Women keep female cats and let the
kittens i've and give them away indis-
crlminately. and that means there are
always t0G many cats. If humane So
cieties lao started fifty years ago ed
ucating the public not to let puppies
ana kittens live. excepting perhaps one
out CT 4 litter that was specially
good raj, and then being sure that
that one vas put into a good home.
there would 0e 9 different condition of
affairs today. I disapprove of cat
license. not because 7 Go not believe
the number OF cats should be lessened
but because l think collars are dan
gerous, and 1 am almost certain a city
would hire ignorant and rough men to
DO the collecting of the cats"

MEETING DIFFICULTIES.

For long time there has been much
inconvenience caused by the fact that
there has been no way to get from
England to the mainland in Europe ex-
cept by boat, and the English channel
is by no means a mill pond. In recent
years it has been made possible to
cross in the air at satisfactory rate
of speed but that method of transpor-
tation cannot handle the crowds or the
volume Of material which it is desired
to move 1t is therefore a matter of
much interest that the English and
French have decided that the much
talked of tunnel shall be constructed
even though it does cost 500, 600, 000
and will require period of five years.
The benefits to be gained will be
enough to offset all that, and the fear
that such a tunnel would be an extra
source of trouble in case of any flareup
latwecn the nations has apparently
been overcome.
What is going 10 be done there is
only what will he done sooner or later
in regard to the Hudson river between
New York and New Jersey. 1t was
only q few years ago that that was
tuuucled for the accommodation OF
trains. That has proved a great bene-
III but it is still possible to relieve con-
gestiOn at that point Oh the river by
constructing q tunnel which will take
care of the vchicular travel instead of
depending entirely upon ferryboats. 1t
viii require time and money but the
results viii warrant both and it is not
believed that il viii be many years be-
fore 1t viii be undertaken.
Vi has been repeatedly shown that
there is usually more ways than one
for getting around a difficulty and dig
ging unfr i5 apparently the method
that is going to he employed in these
aa well ass Other instances. and wher
such projects arc completed they vii
come pretty pear being permanent.

BY the opening of the kiel canal,
though the control of it will still re-
main Germany's, uninterrupted access
to the Baltic will be given to the ma
tons of the world while those border
ing thereon will not be subject to the
say of Germany henceforth. The Baltic
will become an open sea instead of one
which could be closed at any time Ger
many desired. AS for the extension of
rights to use the Rhine, which simply
flows through Germany, Alsace-Lor-
raine will get an advantage which could
otherwise be prevented by Germany,
though there will also be benefit to
Switzerland and Holland.
The action taken should thus oper-
ate to establish peaceful conditions
which are so greatly needed there.

CHARLESTON. W. Va. July 3.-Im-
mediate release of thousands Of coal
cars by the United States railroad ad-
ministration and placing them in the
eastern car pool for distribution in the
mining districts would aid materially
in relieving the coal shortage the ma
ton now faces during tho coming win
ter
That Is the opinion expressed by Pres
idrul J. g. bradley. Of the West NlrEl-
mia Coal association while here on bust
ness matters. Tho association officials
believe that il would not only result in
Increased production. but il would give
additional revenue to the government.
II has been estimated that there are
approximately 10000 coal cars which
were constructed by the railroad admin
istration but which have not been as
signed to the railroads. Regardless of
their ultimate safe and delivery 10 the
railroads, President Bradley believes
they should be placed in Immediate op-
Grafton. in view OF the impending short
age Of coal. No matter whether there
are 1000 or 10000 OF these cars, he be-
lieves they ought to DO used.
1.-The cars should. be Stcnciled and
given a series Of numbers by the govern
nent and placed in the eastern car pool
for distribution" said President Brad
ley. "They ought to be handled under
the per diem agreement. which would
bring to the government 60 cents per day
for each chr. These cars arc now idle.
They ought. to be utilized. They would
aid materially in necessary increased
coal production to avoid the distress Of
previous winters.
Efforts have already been made to
have the railroad administration place
these cars in the eastern car pool. of
which n. ]. German. Of Pittsburgh. is
manager.
That coal shortage Is impending is
generally predicted. Production UP to
June "A was short 100000 tons. The
movement Of crops will begin az an early
period and cars and motive power will
necessarily be diverted from tho coal
districts to transport grain and products
to tidewater ports for export trade, An
other loss IN tonnage will result from the
departure for Europe Of 10000 foreign
miners who have produced annually 40
600 600 tons
These conditions are Indicative of
the gravity Of the coal situation. and en-
phasze the necessity Of placing the gov
ernment's idle cars in operation"
