Conditions more u%nfavorable than
at any time for several years face the
steel industry, due to the railway stu
alton, the lack of cars, raw material
and fuel, and shortage of labor. In
Pittsburgh there are said to be 1,50O,-
900 tons of fabricated steel needed in
building operations throughout the
country which cannot be moved for
lack of cars A survey of the Calumet
region, in which are located the big
plants of Gary, East Chicago, Indiana
Harbor, Hammond and Whiting, show
operations conducted on a day-to-day
basis so far as cars, coal and raw ma
terials are concerned. With every
mill stocked with orders calling for
full production. the big plants are re-
ported operating at two-thirds capacity
and the smaller ones at 80 to 70 per
cent. In the Calumet area it is said
that a shutdown to permit stocking up
is likely, with $4,000 men facing a
period of unemployment. But a
greater crisis threatens than an imme-
date shutdown, because the plants
are not building up their customary
autumn and winter supplies of coal
and other materials and may be un-
able to avoid enforced idleness next
winter. The situation has been gath
ering since the railroads started to de-
teriorate after the blizzard of Janu-
airy, 1918. Then came the steel strike,
the coal strike and the switchmen's
strike last spring. The latter was
more of a blow to industry than pre-
viously realized.

Notwithstanding the fact that he did
not get everything for which he fought
and was not the completely dominant
figure which he so frequently has been
In the past, William j.. Bryan came
nearer being the headliner of the Dem
ocratic show at San Francisco than
anyone else. He did not succeed in
getting the resolutions committee to
frame a platform plank indorsing the
eighteenth amendment and its accom-
panying enforcement act, the Volstead
law, but he did prevent anything like
an expression ~favoring mitigation of
those acts. With all the forces of the
administration arrayed against him in
the matter of the Versailles treaty and
League of Nations covenant, 1t was to
be expected that the Bryan program
Of opposition would fail, nevertheless
the administration did not come off
entirely victorious. The plank as final
ly framed provided for reservations to
the league more clearly defining Amer
ica's obligations to foreign countries,
and that could not have been entirely
satisfactory to the administration.
Bryan did not dominate the nve
tion, write the platform nor name the
nominees. but he prevented the presi-
dent and also any other single force
from doing so. His position represent
ed one of those singular anomalies of
politics wherein he was forced to OPP
pose the man whom eight years before
he had compelled his party to accept.
Roosevelt, throwing emery onto the
bearings and hurting monkey wrenches
into the machine which he had helped
to build, was in a similar position with
respect to the Endorsement and Sec
ond nomination of William Howard
Taft. Under such circumstances
Bryan's influence was weakened just
as was Roosevelt's. Considering the
powerful force of a federal administra-
ton, with its great army of Office hold
ers and other potent adjuncts, the
wonder is that any man could affect it
in the least. Logically, Bryan should
have occupied a sea away back in
the rear, but he did not. The marvel
is that under the circumstances he
could make a dint in party formations,
yet he did and he wrung from his OPP
ponents the reluctant admission, 1.-THE
old boy is a wonder"
Bryan, who frequently fails to carry
his own state or district, who at home
is outgeneralled by men not in his
class, who wishes to go to the United
States senate from Nebraska but can
not command sufficient votes to place
him there, has a peculiar power over
his party at large. 1t is no reflection
on that party, but rather a hint of
things not understandable to the finite
mind in bulk, that he has a strange
ability to fathom and deal with mob
psychology.

Senator Harding's first speech,

on Amcricanism. He does not mention
specifically the treaty of Versailles,
but assails all international contriv-

PINE AVENUE FROM VIRGINIA

Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1920-07-09

The war of France, England and
Greece against the Turkish national
lists commanded by Mustapha Renal
Pasha, officially began with the Greek
advance from Smyrna in Asia Minor
to a line eastward and northward be-
yond Soma, AkhiSSar, Ala-Shehr and
Kelas. The most important operation
was at Ala-Shehr (ancient Philadel-
phia), where the Greek official state
ment claims the taking of 5000 prison
ers with many guns and other booty.
The position Of the allied and oppOs-
ing forces is roughly outlined as a thin
rectangle extending from the vicinity
of Aleppo in Cilicia through Anatolia
to Ismid, near ConStantinople. The
forces of the Turkish leader are
spread along the northern side of this
rectangle and those of the Greeks are
concentrated in the Smyrna area on
the southern side, their west wing on
the British and their east wing on the
French. The plan of attack is said to
be an advance of the Greeks against
Mustapha Kemal's front, al advance
by the French from the east and the
British from the west, hoping by this
converging movement to pen Renal in
Anatolia and force his surrender. The
Greeks are also reported to have a
force at Panderma, on the south coast
of the Sea of Marmora, intending to
operate toward Smyrna. French
cruisers Smelling positions and villages
are reported to have repulsed Turk at
lacks at Adana. Tarsus and Mersina.
Evacuation of Americans from Adana
to Cypress has begun.

ton of an outbreak of soldiers occu-
plying Fermoy, which led to an attack
On shops and much damage to proper
ty, there has been nothing like the dis

alton for the capture by Sim Feiners
of Brigadier General Lucas. Ireland's
railway situation, however, has grown
worse, more men being dismissed and
fewer trains being run. The railway
men refuse to carry armed soldiers,
munitions or police, while the govern
ment insists they shall. Many towns
have been isolated and the railway
system is disorganized, with a condi-
ton of creeping paralysis in evidence.
No general or sympathetic strike has
been called and the government Is
manning trains with troops as a test.

nounced here. First Aid instruction
IS being made one of the important
features of the peace program of the
Red Cross and an even larger number
of classes and students is expected
during the ensuing year.
Since the Red Cross began it's First
Aid courses, in connection with which
instruction on the prevention of acci
dents is given in 1909 a decrease in
accidents of rs per cent has been
brought about and large number of
lives saved. Beginning in the anthra-
, cite field, First Aid instruction has
spread to virtually every industry,
more than 100000 railroad men alone
having taken the course. Glasses may
be formed by any interested person
in communities, social and other or
CARNATIONS, industries, police and fire
departments, stores, clubs, ETC., with
the cooperation of the local Red Cross
chapter. A post graduate course is
open to those wishing to continue their
studies.

There will be fewer strikes like

they consider it safer than transpor-

That statment of safety of aircraft

Here are some facts:

their training they travelled total,

may be imagined when it is said the
distance of the earth from the moon
is 238S40 miles. Therefore, those
budding flying mon made what would
measure $50 trips to the moon.
For approximately every 100000
miles these learners travelled there was
"a casualty. In other words, for every
casualty every flying man in our
&raining camps travelled what practi-
eally was eight times the circunifer

These statements are semi official.
