COAL MINE FIRE,

While this one has been brought under con trol, another mine fire, which has been burning 19 years near Mount Carmel, Pa. in the heart of the lower anthracite fields, is still trying to spread. A third fire, which has been raging for three years. in the Req Ash vain of the Red Ash Coal com pany on the Wilkes Barre mountain, has made 1t necessary to close the old Giants Despair road known to many automobilists because of the hill-climbing contests that have been held upon it.
 The Summit Hill fire in the Panther Creek valley, between Lansford and Coaldale, was discovered in Febru- ary, 1859. In an abandoned gangway. The hard coal dips from 20 degrees to about TO degrees and is about 90 feet thick. The area involved is about one mile long by 1,500 feet wide.

Versailles Treaty

1t is contended that the treaty provides that the Rhineland shall be occupied for 15 years, and that the troops shall then he withdrawn "ri ovided Germany has fulfilled all her obligations under the treaty.
 That section of French public opin- ion which believe in using the iron hand on Germany while she is down calls attention to the fact that the original reparations payments as- sessed against Germany cover period of more than 30 years, and that this means the troops must re- main on the Rhine for at least that length of time. Otherwise, 1t Is argued, Germany might default.
 It will be recalled that the French delegation at Versailles stood out al most to the very end of the negotia- tions for pushing the German iron ties permanently back to the Rhine so that France might have the nat ural barrier of the river for her fur- ther aggressions, and the demands of France was given up only when President Wilson and Lloyd George agreed to and signed a three-powei treaty under which the United States and Great Britain pledged themselves to come immediately to the defense of France in the event of an unpro- voked attack by Germany.

Imnart.nce of Oil

The correct fabrication of an auto mobile depends on the use of oil of the highest quality, exact grade or oil to meet the engine operating conditions, proper precautions 10 maintain the quality of the lubricant while in service. and adjustments to insuring it's delivery in exactly the correct qualities to the friction sur faces. Failure of the operator to give the necessary attention to any one of these conditions will result in trouble.
 Four out of five "skidding' ac- cidents are due to faulty brake ad- justments.
 Because of tractive and brake strain rear tires wear more rapidly than front ones. Running noises in the transmits sion are often caused by an excess of heavy grease. Motorists should remember that car rides on air as much as on the rubber of the tires.
 The action of neatsfoot oil on the leather lining of the cluth greatly strengthens its flores. An operator of an automobile should know much more about the car than how to start and stop 1t. There are no fewer than 500 parts in a high class automobile that must pass inspection to .0005 inch.

French Claims

This treaty of defensive co-opera- tion failed of ratification both in London and in Washington. There fore the section of French opinion which seems once more to be in the saddle contends that France must revert to her original claims and must occupy the left bank of the Rhine for unlimited years to come under the technicality of the treaty which gives France herself the right to say when Germany has fulfilled all the obligations of the treaty signed in the gilded palace of Yer sailles.
 To the Washington government, however, it is incomprehensible that France can reach a deliberate deci- sion tc cut adrift from Great Brit ain and through strong -headedness attempt to deal with Germany alone, Such a course unquestionably would throw British influence on tho side of Germany. and France would be left in an unfortunate position.

New French Policy

But if the new French policy IS to be one of ruthlessness toward Ger many and of obstruction to the gen eral plans for the economic recon struction of Europe; In other words if France is to bring about her own isolation and act independently ot her allies, then the United States will be quick to show its disapproval oi this course by terminating American participation in the Rhineland occu- patton, and the last hope of bringing America into the separations com mission will have vanished.
 One of the important factors in a probable early determination by Washington to withdraw entirely from the Rhine is the claim by rep resentatives of the new order in France that the treaty of Versailles gives to France the privilege ." maintaing her troops on the Rhine far beyond the 15-year limit actually specified in the text of the pact.

England Leader

In any attempt to bring even an approximate return to normalcy in Europe. England must be accepted as the leader in such an effort. France cannot ignore the dominance of Great Britain at this time. Lloyd George still is the big man of Flu rope, and France has no one at this time to cope with him.
 France further must realize that since the Washington conference and since the Irish settlement. the bonds of friendship between Great Britain and the United States have been inn measurably strengthened and that in any European imbroglio involving France and Great Britain. American sympathy may easily be swung to the English speaking peoples.

further moral support to France by keeping force on the Rhine
 There is strong Likelihood that Great Britain may withdraw her troops of occupation as we'll, and France may easily find her position in the Rhine land one of extreme difficulty.
 The American government has teen sending hundreds of it's troops home from the Rhineland but it has been the determination of this gov ernment to keep at least skeleton force in Germany as symbol of solidarity among the allies and as sociates in the war and as an in- dication of the feeling in this country that Germany should pay for the damages of the war as far as she is able to do so
