roadway was a flood and my old faithful boat just
foundered in the mud, and there gave up its goat.
Time was when I'd have reared and paved around
and wept, and torn my sorrel beard, while watch
and ward I kept. But years have made me wise;
know that patience wins; and forty thousand signs
aren't worth a brace of grins. And so 1 waited

EUROPE COAL SHORT
rs MILLION TONS
u. S. Must Supply Need, Says
Rice After Inquiry.

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Prospects are
that the American coal industry will be
called upon to furnish minimum Of
100000 tons and possibly 10000, 900
tons OF fuel for European countries dur
ing tho coming year. according TO a re-
port OF conditions abroad by George S.
Rice, chief engineer OF the Bureau Of
Mines, made public to-day by Mr.. Man
| ming, director OF the bureau. Conclu-
sions In the report were reached by
Mr.. Rice while a member of special
commission studying the situation In
Europe.
The great demand for American coal,
the report says. will result largely from
decreased production In England. due
to the seven hour day obtained by Eng
lish miners. The report quotes Sir AUX
land Geddes as calling attention In the
House Of Commons to the fact that the
British production will be lessened by
seventy million tons during the next
year under the award and the price in
creased by sI.O6 a ton.
France Italy, Norway and Spain, u
is added, have been largely dependent
on England In the past for fuel French
mines destroyed by the Germans will
| not be .reopened for full production
within ten years.
Italy lie in the worst situation re-
| garding fuel" Mr., Rice believes. "In
1918 1t produced less than three-quarters
/ Of a million tons OF coal, and imported
| from Great Britain l0.000,0 tons. To
sum up the situation: Western and
Southwestern Europe are badly In need
of coal. Heretofore deficiencies in the
different countries amounting to fifty
millions a year were supplied by Great
Britain, which now faces a loss OF Its
export business through reduction in Its
coal production"
II war time restrictions on coal use
at home are maintained by England. the
report estimates, that country will have
| 2S.0o0,O00 tons for export, but there still
will be a deficiency Of 100000 tons In
Europe. There will be a demand also
for $4,000. 900 tons which England for
msrly shipped to other quarters OF the
globe, and America has the only avail
able source Of supply
