Coal Situation Here

The report of the coal survey con-
Quoted by Mayor Wilson and puo-
lished in the Evening News yesterday
has resulted in many residents real
izing for the first time that the coal
shortage in this city and difficulty
which they may expect to experience
in securing their winters supply if
the strike is not ended before then.
Owing to the hot weather few have
given thought to next winter. but
the survey of conditions here has
had the effect of producing a sud
den interest on the part of resi-
dents in the amount of fuel in their
coal bins.
The survey showed that none of
the local dealers have enough coal
on hand to meet orders, and in order
that all might be accommodated as
far as possible some dealers are
selling only one-quarter or one-haT
tons at a time to a customer.
Just what action Governor Ed
wards distribution commission will
take in seeing that cities are sup
piled is now known as yet, but the
governor is getting reports from all
municipalities in the state along sim
liar lines to that secured by the
mayor here
There was but one mistake in yes
terday's report. 1t was learned this
morning, the amount consumed by
the public library being between
seventy and eighty tons instead of
between eight and ten tons as
stated. This change was made in
the report to Governor Edwards.
The coal situation in the indus
tries of the city was not included
in the mayors report as the gov
ernor asked only for the amount on
hand and consumption of the munic-
ipal buildings. and a survey of the
conditions at the coal yards here.

GREAT COAL SHORTAGE
IN new JERSEY IS
SHOWN BY SURVEY
Act to Ration Coal in State
During Present Fuel
Crisis

TRENTON. Aug. 5:-Strict econ
omy in the use of coal, and use of
fuel oil instead wherever possible is
urged by Governor Edwards recent
ly appointed New Jersey Fuel Com
mission, which will ration coal in
this state during the coal crisis
caused by the miners strike, in a
statement outlining its policies is
sued today. The seriousness of the
shortage is indicated by the COM
missions statement that out of ST.
O39,O37 tons of coal. the anticipated
output for 1922, only 16,S65,734 tons
have mined thus far.
Besides economy where coal must
be used, and substitution of oil
where possible. the commission
urges use of soft coal exclusively,
Instead of it's use with anthracite,
where this can be done. and abso-
lutely honest reports as quantity of
coal on hand and needs of the users.
1T is the purpose of the commits
sion." declares Chairman William T..
Grier, "to see it that, SO far as pos
sible, New Jersey will receive it's fair
share of all available grades of coal.
and it must of necessity depend to a
very large measure upon the cooper
alton of dealers and consumers in
OrQer 10 avert the pOSSlDlllty OF any
suffering until the end Of the crisis"
The com mission. declares Chair
man Grier, will do everything pos
sible to prevent the cessation of any
public utility or state industry. and
will take care. as far as possible, of
householders and all coal users. To
do this work in the manner they
have planned, the commission SOL
icits the earnest support of all coal
dealers, wholesale and retail, and Of
all coal users"
About 65 per cent. of all the an
thracite mined is and has been held
available for domestic and similar
uses, the commission states, the re-
naming 35 per cent. going to nom
domestic uses, usually in connection
with soft coal.
The commission will keep the fed
eral coal rationing body at Wash
ington advised of New Jerseys needs
as shown by replies to kilograms
sent out by Governor Edwards and
other executive department Offices.
Claims for priority may be sent to
Chairman Grier at the State House
here, he announces. Any but hon.
est reports of coal on hand and the
quantity really needed Twill react
on the applicant" he warns.

SWAT THE FLY!
This is the time to fight the fly.

In midsummer a new generation
of flies is started every IL to IA days.
When you take into consideration
that the number of eggs laid by an
individual fly at one time averages
about 120 eggs you will realize how
important it is to use every possible
means to eliminate this pest.
Flies occupy no place in the econ
omy of man. They must be fought
and fought in the right way. To do
this is the duty of every community
to its members. and of every indi-
vidual to the community.
Write today for a free booklet

their envy to greed.
The legions are demanding their
share of the loot. 1t is sheer poppy
cock to call the bonus adjusted

sounding name that glides so trip
pingly off the tongues Of sleek poll
ticians. That kind of bunc is just as
buncomby as few years ago it was
to refer to the draft as "selective SER
vice.. Let's call spade spade.
The soldier bonus bill is nothing
more nor less than written proposal
to legalize the wholesale looting of
the United States Treasury.
If the veterans of the Great War
succeed in getting this bill on the sta
tute books they will have put through
a deal that will make the lifetime op-
erations of the Civil War veterans
look like puerile offerings. And
would this raid be the last? Certain
ly not, if we may judge the future by
the past. Banditry pays well, and
once successfully begun is apt to be-
come habit. Witness profteers, un-
ion labor and the James boys. Even
the watchdog of the Treasury, Con-
gress, has become a cringing cur
hunting with the coyotes.
Nothing worth saving was ever
saved without sacrifice. That truth, in
peace no less than in war, is quite APP
plicable to the case of this Republic.
The strength and stability Of any ma
tion stand in direct ratio to that pro-
portion of its citizenship that will
stand to the rack, fodder or no fod-
der. Our young men, on Flanders
Field, at st. Mihiel and in the Ar
gonne, made noble and unselfish sacri-
fees. Are they now, in peace, quite
unwilling to deny themselves these
few miserable dollars? 1t appears so,

The bald fact is, the bulk of the
American Army was the result of
round-ups personally conducted by
draft boards.
The army fought well-bravely, no
bly,. On the whole, individually and
collectively, the conduct of the men
was such as the country may well be
proud Of for all time to come. But the
reasons for these things are quite
simple.
The Units That Fought
The units that did the actual fight
ing were composed of men in whose
blood the racial strain was predom-
inantly Nordic. In fact, the Nordic
race has ever produced the fighting
man par excellence of the world. Let
there be no mistake about that. Right
there | have made a statement which
/ know to be unpopular in many
quarters, but whether a statement be
popular or unpopular should matter
not at all to me so long as know it
to be true.
Another and most excellent reason
why the American soldiers made such
splendid showing is that they were
organized, trained and disciplined by
officers and noncommissioned off
GERS Of the regular army. That is an
other statement that will elicit little
or no applause, but just the same all
ex-service men know that it is true.
In refusing to interfere with PERISH
ing and his staff in their conduct of
the war, Mr.. Wilson did very, very
great thing, on which no war presi-
dent before him ever had the nerve to
do. The results; political command
ers were scarce indeed; the war was
shortened at least year; the saving
in life and treasure was so immense
that it cannot even be estimated; and
there were practically no episodes in
this war which wrought disgrace on
the prestige of the American arms
such as were conspicuous in nearly all
previous wars in which the country
had been engaged-the stampede at
First Bull Run, for example.
At any rate, for dollar each day
and up, with board, Uncle Sam got to-
gether several million men to do with
as he pleased. They ceased to be in
dividuals and became mere pawns in
the great practical and scientific
game of war as played by the General
Staff. They could not quit the job;
quitting would be desertion. They
could not strike; striking would be
mutiny. Nor could they even threat
en- to strike fer threatening would be
INSTRUMENTATION. So with native good
sense and sportsmanship they sub
iected themselves to discipline and
played the game, with the result that
Germany lay down about year ahead
Of schedule.
All this time the boys were away
from home and had but little fun and
less money. Getting into the army
and out and away from the home ties
is in itself quite hardship. There is
none other quite like it, and to appre-
ciate the quality Of its hardness one
has only to test it by personal expe-
rience. But, as matter of fact. the
majority of men in the service never
reached France at all, and of those
that did get across very great many
got no farther than port of debarka-
ton or at farthest the S. o. S.. It
will be seen therefore that only a mi
nority Of the total in the service ever

Most of the arguments for the boz
nus and against it are based on mon
ey. Can the Treasury afford to pay
it? That seems to be the issue. It is
all wrong to discuss the subject from
any such viewpoint. 1t is matter of
principle which goes far deeper than
our purses. Our forefathers, the
men who founded this Republic and
made it what it is. bequeathed to US
some things of much greater value
than money and the opportunity and
ability to make money, among which
may be mentioned valor, chivalry and
patriotism. Are our ex-service men
now trying to convert their valor into
cash? Is the chivalry of a soldier a
thing Of past generation? And pa

CALLING A SPADE A SPADE:
THE BONUS DEMAND

There came time when the Roman
legions, as they returned from the
wars, began to demand their share OF
the loot. At the same time Rome
climbed on the sled and started pell-
nell for the rocks below, where she
arrived in due course and whence she
has never returned. This action on
the part of the legions, while not the
basic cause of Rome's decline, was
certainly corollary 10 it and an unmis-
taxable sign of the times. Her ruin
was due primarily to the fact that the
race of people that made her great
was gradually bred out and finally
overwhelmed by inferior races. SINH
larly the race which has made Ameri-
ca great is being crowded out Of its
own country and sooner or later, un-
less PROMPT and drastic measures are
taken, will this great nation disinte-
CRATE into rotten fragments owned
and ruled by hordes Of worthless mon
grels.
But it is not my purpose in this pa
per to discuss that big subject of race
nor to touch upon the absurd theory
that any good can come out of the
melting pot. l shall try TO confne my
remarks TO the subject Of the soldier
bonus, the clamor for which | firmly
believe to be ore Of the worst signs of
our time.
When the United States declared
war in 1917 the land forces consisted
of the regular army and the national
guard, both considerably below war

form at that time were willing to sail
for France at once-as matter Of pa
triotic duty or Of professional and per-
sonal pride, or of both
Recruiting posters flooded the coun-
try, but Mr.. Bryan's millions were
slow to spring. True, the non-com-
blatant branches of the army rapidly
filled their gaps; and when Congress
raised the pay of a private from SIS
to $50 a month even the cavalry pa
troll on the Mexican border reached
maximum strength. Most of the men
who came in with such a rush on this
swell, however, were unable to say
"horse" in English. Be it said to Mr..
Bryan's credit that as hard pressed
for money as he always was, he did
not wait for this raise in pay The
declaration of war caught him at
Jacksonville, Florida, think it was,
and forthwith the headlines in the
morning papers carried the great
news, Bryan Teiegraphs the Presi-
dent volunteering as private"
Now there was a recruiting office at
that time in every city Of any size in
America, and had Mr.. Bryan hied him
self to the one down the street the
sergeant on duty might have called
the bluff.

Yet many did volunteer to fight, to

their country and the pride of their
posterity.
