NO COAL SHORTAGE
IN UNITED STATES
Manager of Wholesale Association
Says Government Scare Is
Unfounded.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-Assurance
of an adequate supply of coal to meet
all domestic requirements during the
coming months was given yesterday
by George H. Cushing, managing di-
rector of American Wholesale Coal as
ISOLATION, who declared in statement
that reports of an impending coal
shortage were unfounded. The pub
lie, he said, is panic stricken without
reason or excuse.
tThere is no shortage of COAL" Mr.
Gushing stated. ''There is no danger
of any such shortage. Therefore there
is a reason but no excuse for the cur
rent high prices in the open market.
The reason is that we have had too
much governmental agitation of the
danger of a famine -
Mr.. Cushing declared that for the
past eight months "there has not been
n day or even an hour when some gov
ernmental agency was not agitating
about coal and predicting a coal fam
inc. Prices, he said, have reached
| the highest peacetime level in history
because those who need coal are fran
| tieally bidding against each other in
| every Market
Declaring that he had investigated
nearly every alarmist report Mr.. Cush-
/ ing asserted that "not one of them
will stand scrutiny or analysis" He
| predicted that the consumption of BIZ
luminous coal during the feoal year
beginning last April l would not ex-
| iced 535,000,000 tons-10, 2SS, 900 tons
a week.
| "The present assumption Mr.
| Cushing continued is that unless we
| reduce this average weekly eonsump-
| ton in the early weeks of the coal
wear we are rushing headlong into a
| shortage of coal That has not been
/ true in % years 1t is not true this
year The records of the coal trade
are that with the exception of 1917
| and 191S-war years-we never reached
/ figure equal to the required weekly
| lverage production until the middle OF
| August This year we reached it in
he second week in June. Thus oul
/ production is eight weeks ahead of
schedule That doesn' It look like an
| impending famine =
| The statement also declared un-
founded "alarmist' reports that New
/ England, New York city and Chicago
lad in storage only two-days supply
# coal. An investigation made by the
PRESIDENT coal commission, according
| to Mr.. Cushing, showed that the total
storage for New England, exclusive OF
he railroads, was sufficient for IS
days, and that the statement as to con
| iitions in New York and Chicago was
'merely wild guess"

INTERESTED IN
COMMUNITY CENTER
Frank A. Crosier Emphasizes Need OF
Combining School and Club Idea
IN Brattleboro.
Editor of The Reformer:-

Editor of The Reformer:-
As Brattleboro boy am very much
interested in the proposed plan for
community center for my home town,
and | was particularly interested in
the article which recently appeared in
The Reformer which was written by
DR.. Miller 1t reminds me of, a story
which runs something like this:
s'Once upon a time the citizens of a
certain city in Greece were greatly in
terested in the nurture and training of
children. When the question arose as
to whether they should build a great
public school or open playground, it
was decided to open playground.
Now, in the course of years it came to
pass that the, citizens of that city adj
vanced so far beyond the rest of the
human race that in all the centuries
since, even to this day, the nations that
have gon on building public schools
and neglecting to open Fairgrounds
have not been able to catch up with
them.
1t is often said that young men are
never appreciated in their home town
and must 90 elsewhere if they are to
succeed, but recent investigations have
shown that the real test of a town or
city is whether it can retain the young
men who grow up there.
For the past II years | have studied
and worked with young men and boys,
several years in the work of the Young
Men s Christian association, in a pre-
paratory school, as city supervisor of
, boys activities for the city of Balti-
/ more, Nd. and now associate secretary
and director of physical education at
the Beverly association. Because of
my experience and because ] recall
very wildly the days of my youth and
how the boys then longed for the good
things that you are now planning
| want to be one to offer my services if
they are needed in planning for Com
munity club.
| want to emphasize the need of
combining the school and the club idea
as DR.. Miller has suggested, and with
the cooperation of the people of Brat
: tleboro there is no limit to the oppor-
tunities of service, not only to Brat
tleboro but to all the surrounding vii
! lagos.
/ Yours for a better Brattleboro,
FRANK A. CR0SIER.

Polanders Making Great Sacrifice t.
Save Their Country.

WARSAW, July 9-Owing to the
critical position of the country, volun-
tecrs for active service in the army
are offering themselves from every
side. They include school and univer-
sity teachers, students, Boy Scouts,
civil servants and ministerial employees,
whose occupations excuse them from
military service The students are en-
listing in, such numbers that the War
saw universities have been closed.
Stirred by the appeal of the national
council of defense for volunteers, hum
dreds of girls and women have taken
initial steps to join the army.
The. women IS battalions will be used
chiefly for guard duty in garrisons and
food depots and as train escorts, thus
relieving men for the front lines.
Another proclamation, addressed to
the soldiers, says the decisive moment
has arrived in which Poland's fate is
to be decided. 1t assures the soldiers
that in case they are wounded their
income will be continued by the gov
eminent and that provision will be
made by the government for the fami-
lies of those killed in battle
Citizens having in their possession
swords, rifles, pistols on ammunition
are urged to turn them over to the gov
eminent for use in the army
