EUROPE NEEDS COAL

Coal is power, in more senses than one, and in its possession we are the most fortunate people of the earth in these postwar days. Germany hit France hard when it set about de- stroying Frances coal mines. Be- sides, like all the rest of the world, after the railways have been subject ed to the strain of war, France has transport crisis which, upon coal pro- duction, has exactly the same effect as in other lands. This year, after get ting all the coal England can spare, counting on 3,000,o00 tons from the United States, and drawing on Bel gium, France will have 36,000,Oo0 tons less than the 90,000,0o0 of her absolute requirements. It is small wonder that at Spa the French pre- mier was adamant in exacting Ger man compliance with it's promises to deliver coal at a rate of 5000, 900 tons a year to France. Even so, France faces a coal deficit this year of 20 per cent. of her needs.
 Italy's whole future may turn upon the coal she gets. Having no coal bearing areas, Italy has looked chiefly to England The collapse of the coal

 T seldom recall a question after leaving the theater, and the most of them are forgotten by the time the dressing room is reached-unless the vision is one depicting a tragedy

 Princess and pr. Leone have 9 rule of not seeing people privately and their entire efforts are devoted to their public work.
 The early interest in the Leones is said to be very large, and Messrs. Brandon Bros. state there is every in dication of the Elks being filled to ca pacity during the entire engagement.
 A five-reel picture is offered as an added attraction to the Leones. and proceeds them at each of the per formances.

FENCE ON AVIATION
 FIELD STOPS FLIGHT

John Lynes and Ralph D. Seeley, pro- motors of the San Francisco Mountain Scenic boulevard, who arrived in Phoe- nix Sunday from Yuma in a Curtis airplane and landed as directed at the state fair grounds, found themselvess in pocket yesterday when they at tempted to take the air with their plane, due to the fact that a fence had been erected across the middle of the field.
 Rather astonished at finding them selves unable to make a flight the atviators communicated with the Phoe- nix chamber Of commerce and learned that the fence was news to that organ ization. Officials Of the chamber Of commerce stated that that organization had donated $500 for the maintenance of the fair ground field as the Phoenix aviation field
 The two promoters of the scenic highway had sent invitations to a num- Der of prominent Phoenix people in cluding Governor Campbell, to make a flight in the Curtiss plane. But when it came to a question yesterday of find ing a place to fly from the promoters were perplexed and the invitation flight was postponed.

MANY MISSING MEN LAST HEARD FROM IN PHOENIX, LETTERS SAY

Judging from the correspondence which Chief of Police Brisbois receives, Phoenix might be regarded as the Port of Missing Men. From many parts of the country come letters ask ing information about persons last heard of at Phoenix" Between the lines of these letters can be read stories of tears and heartaches, broken homes and promises thrilled. A few carry messages of cheer, of sudden good fortune, perhaps a sum of money left for some black sheep" kho has severed all connections with kith and kin. Following are inquiries of one day:
 L. Berrack, 143 West Thirtieth street, New York City, asks for the address of Micheal J. Tierney of Newagh, Ireland. An aged father is anxious to hear from him. When last heard from Tierney was in Phoenix. A reward of $50 is offered for his ad- dress.
 Mrs. Ada Ruff asks for information of Frank Ruff who sometimes spells his name Ruth. Frank Ruff is de- scribed as a man about 67 years old When last heard from he was in Phoe- nix Mrs. Ada Ruff lives at 1125 East Second street, Long Beach, Calif
 Letters sent to Fred Jones, general delivery, Phoenix, remain unanswered and perhaps undelivered, according to a letter from Ruffner NJ. Burney, 2033 Ohio street, Omaha, Neb., who writes that Jones is probably employed al some mill or sheet metal shop in Phoe- nix.
 Bert Linton was seriously ill with in- fluenza in Phoenix the last time he was heard from, according to a letter from Mrs. O. H. Buaas, S20 West Sixth street, Austin, Texas Linton's address is wanted.
