THE COAL SITUATION.

The Springfield, Mass, Republican
makes the following somewhat reas.
suring statement anent the threatened
shortage of coal in New Finland as the
result of the coal mine and railroad
strikes:
New England should not suker from
a coal famine next winter even IL the
coal strike should be much protracted,
in view of the announcement by the
ice-president of the United States
shipping board. He states that APP
proximately 800 ships belonging TO the
shipping board and now tied up be-
cause of the surplus of ocean tonnage
could be placed in operation and thus,
if the coal were available, bring $780,
900 tons monthly to American ports in
addition to the supplies to be brought
by the vessels now in service. There
is coal enough on the other side and
it can be mined and marketed if the
demand from America is keen enough.
Whether the distribution of such an
immense supply of coal from the ports
of entry could be worked out as east
ly is, of course, matter to be con-
sidered seriously If the railroads
should be further crippled by add
tional strikes the coal at the ports
would not help the inland parts of
the country, however much the ports
themselves might be benefited; but
the enlistment Of large number Of
motor trucks might serve to solve the
problem in part.

cuba's Difficulties.

1t is more than a year and half
since Maj-Gen. Enoch II. Crowder
went to Cuba as the representative of
President Wilson to advise concerning
financial and political affairs which
had reached a crisis threatening a
third American intervention under the
the terms of the Platt amendment.
Gen. Crowder is still there, and reports
Of conditions which he faces Indicate
that his services or those of successor
are likely to be needed for good while
yet.
The present troubles seem to be
chiefly of three classes, which might be
termed political, industrial and tenn
peramentsl. The bitter political fight
which resulted in the election of
Zayas as president left an energetic
minority ready 10 discredit his policies
and his acts, and while he is evidently
well intentioned his Judgment has not
always been good and he has lacked
positiyeness and vigor. He has been
further handicapped by failure Of
Congress to cooperate with him. The
industrial situation is largely a result
of the wartime boom, when fortunes
were quickly and easily made, chiefly
in sugar, and enterprises were started
which have collapsed with the fall OF
sugar prices. Many sugar mills have
been taken over by American bankers
under foreclosure.
This has naturally acted to stimu.
late hostility toward American bust
ness concerns and with the added fears
of American intervention, stimulated
by failure Of n special commission to
raise a, loan of S50.000,0OO in the
United States. the position of Gen.
Crowder has been made difficult. On
the other hand. this very fear. as well

LETTERS TOTHE EDITOR
Dedicated to Plainaeld's New Poet.

Editor Barre imts: Since the
passing of Whittier and Lengfellow
and other distinguished poets. there is

Daily Times will continue to print
contributions from our new Plainfield
poet, the initial number Of which APP
peared in your issue of July 81, and
was inspired by the result of our re-
cent town meeting, called for the pur-
pose Of changing our present junior to
a senior high school.
As our little town Is already strug.
Cling under a debt, largely made for
school purposes, of nearly $4,000, and
but few, il any, towns in our state
so small in wealth and population sup
port even junior high school as Plain
field does. the majority of our voters
did not deem it either wise or Just
to vote an additional burden upon the
taxpayers, especially at this time.
And, of course, our towns new poet,
finding his inspiration in the very de-
feat which he suffered, sought and no
doubt found relief in what he was
pleased to term "The Anvil Chorus"

ATTENTION VETERANS

If you served ninety days or more in the Spanish American War, the China Relief Expedition, or in the Philippines prior to July 4, 1922, you will be interested to konw Congress has passed a Pension Law of vital interest to you.
 This law contains two provisions: First, it allows pensions to all ex- soldiers. sailors and marines with the above service records who were konorably dischaged and who are now over sixty-two years of age; second, it allows pensions to those who are at present materially disabled from earning their living by manual labor from disease, if the disability be not the result of their own misconduct. Such disability must be permanent hut need not be total. It need not be the result of military service Tho soldier does not have to he sixty two years old to. claim on dis ability. The amount of pension de- bends upon the degree of disability and ranges from $12,O0 to $3O.OO per month. Widows of veterans are also allowed pensions.
 If you wish advice about this law write Walter s. Buchanan, Past Ma tional Aid-de- Camp, Army and Navy Union, Route 2, Louisa, Virginia. Prompt action is desirable, as pen sion if allowed begins from the filing of the. claim.
 MT. Buchanan, himself Spanish War Veteran, desires to assist his comrades in every possible way to secure any pensions to which they may be entitled under this law. Write him for advice giving him your service record, and enclosing stamp for reply.

OHIO RADIO FANS GET
 WARNING ABOUT WIRES

TOLEDO, June 21.-Amateur radio fans have been warned by officials of the Ohio State Telephone Company and Toledo Edison Company against using their poles for the stringing of wires for their aerials.
 Recent deaths in other cites result ing from wires coming in contact with charged wires have resulted in off cials of both companies instructing linemen, to remove all antennae found attached to telephone poles.
 "We are not trying to discourage the radio fans" said Fred Derge, of the Edison Company, ''but we want to protect them from some of the high tension wires on which they have no knowledge"

Reputation comes in just two vari eties-Good and Bad.
 A good reputation is the hardest thing to get and the easiest to lose,
 A bad reputation is the easiest thing to get, and the hardest to lose.
 Reputation can be the most exalting or the most damning thing in life.
 Reputation is the right hand of Fate that points out the road to Success or Failure.
 Reputation is an invisible pedestal on which we stand like statues, marked famous or infamous.
 Reputation is priceless and yet, it is within the reach of everybody.
 Reputation is the most precious thing to woman and the most val uable thing to man.
 Every human being is peddler of reputation-his own and the other fellows. Why deal in bad ones when plenty of good are to be had.

"The Plaything of Broadway" an original story by Sidney Morgan, is a tale of contrasts; of the high lights and shadows of the two extremes of the social scale of New York. The heroine, Lola, a dancer, portrayed by Miss Justine Johnstone, is the typical Broadway moth, fluttering where the flame is brightest and the game played for the highest stakes, until a series of incidents and her love affair open her eyes to the sufferings of the "other half" At the Empress tomorrow night.
