COAL SUPPLY NOW
UP TO RAILROADS

The Geological Survey statement
shows that coal mining has been
quite satisfactory resumed under the
terms of the Cleveland agreement.
The statement says: 'The limiting
factor in the supply of soft coal has
now become transportation. 1t is
true that some thousands of miners
are still on strike, notably in the
Connellsville and Kanawha districts,
but the tonnage offered for shipment
by the other mines at work will alb
sorb the available transportation ia
ciities. The demand for coal is
active and the prices are high.
Under such conditions coal is offer
ed for shipment up to the limit OF
the ability of the railroads to trans
port it." Shortly before the middle
of September the Survey found "the
present rate of production is $780,
900 tons week. In the correspond
ing period Of 1920 the average was
IL, $50, 600 TONS" Later reports re-
ceived, which are not entirely Off
cial, show a marked increase in min
ing over the statement given out by
the Survey.

The officials Of the town Of North
Adams, Mass, are effectively enforc-
ing the antispeed ordinance with an
original road barrier. A policeman
stands at the side of the road with
a red lantern. Speeding drivers are
hailed and cautioned to use discre-
ton, providing they stop. If they fall
to stop the policeman blows his whis-
tie, and farther along the road a belt
filed with short spikes, is stretched
across the highway. No one has RUIZ

NEW YORK, Sept. 2O!-Four num-

The young men OF wealth did not
take third.class passage from choice,
but because they could get no other

1877 first-clsss passengers had been
passed by the health authorities
when eleven third-clsss passengers

followed. The missing man was not

GERMAN YOUTHS
WORKING WAY .

Aristocratic Traditions That

Abandoned.
BY s. d. wEYER.
international News Service.

BERLIN, Sept. 20.-More than SO
per cent of the German students
have to work in order to make their
living and carry on their studies
Out of a total of some $4,000 stu.
duts of all German universities and
technical colleges about $4,000 do
regular work as farmers, gardeners
miners and all sorts Of unsiSllled
workers and can only devote their
spare time to scientific work.
Only 10 per cent of them are suf.
ficiently supported by their ia miles
so that they can afford the luxury
Of doing nothing but attend lee
lures.
These figures, more than any
thing else. give striking evidence
Of the plight OF the German middle
class, which always supplied the
greatest percentage OF varsity peo.
pie, for before the war, and con-
trary to American practice, to take
Job or GO into business was for
merly not considered as dignified
and compatible with the position OF
an educated man.
Quit Old Traditions.
This has been widely changed.
Mea sured by his paying capacity
and the amount Of personal com
fort he enjoys. this new type OF
working student is nothing but an
intellectual proletarian, the only
difference between him and HE
workman companion consisting Gin
his family traditions and his men
tai training.
As an average this new specimen
OF the German student is republican
at heart, though the fathers OF the
Young generation may safely be
stamped as. .inonarchists, for the sim
ME reason that they lived to see the
glorious days of a victorious Ger
many within the last seventy years
and the unheard Of revival OF the
German Empire under the Kaiser
The youngsters, however, who went
through the terrible experience VI
three or four years Of incessant fight
ing at tile front are now beginriini
to realize that they were nothing
but the tools of the old regime - bt
thrown aside as soon as the wal
would be over and the Empire con
solidated against any attack from
outside. When these boys once gel
into office the German government
may rely on their loyalty as republi
can citizens.
Distrust Prevails.
At the present time a good deal 81
distrust prevails oil both sides. which
originates from the erroneous belief
of the broad mass of the peoole In
