It tka people vttl ooaMrrs ooal sxretully, no one will hay# to suffer thU winter treat the shortage of this SiisntUI, Juat at the present tint, the atop^ pins of the shipment* py«r the Uke* haa resulted la an availsbls supply that will, be distributed for rfcsldsne* purposes. This supply is figured out -to be enough la moat cats*, and the law instances where duel may not ba arailabla are being looked after a* rapidly aa*poss!ble. It la Quite likely'that, ooaaumers wttl not be able to get. the coal that they bare been in the habit el using. A grsat deal of Pennsylvania coal was shipped into Ohio, and tilers has ,b«en a very oonstderabis amount of Anthracite shipped in In previous /years. The anthracite>thla year'has been limited to AO per cent of the Usual allotment, but this may be sup* plemeuted by the use of buckwheat •l*e.' of which there ia at the present 4s time a' good supply on which there are no.restrictions. Bituminous coal, on the contrary, by the soning system now in use by the .*uel Administration, Is . shipped' the shortest possible distance. Con­ sequently* throughout the eastern part1of the state the Ohio mines are supplying practically all the coal used. -The same condition prevails fn the central part. In, the western part of ths state there Is a good deal of Indiana coal, andnorth of the Krle railroad the supply of anthracite will have to be filled out with bituminous ■coal, • That this will, in many instances, cause more careful firing- than* has bash the case heretofore* is evident. The use of bituminous* and anthracite together presents problems that will require the close attentioh of house­ holders. until they are familiar with ihemc But the coals can be bunted ' successfully together*' and very often a, burner that la designed for anthra­ cite # ilf be found to, work without much difficulty with bituminous. The situation la such, that there is no margin of safety in the coal sup­ ply. Ths production of the' mine* has beau stimulated considerably, but a shortage of men and the difficulties of transportation bare prevented its expansion to a point where a surplus stock could be accumulated. The country h practically living with only a 30 days’ supply ahead of it, and this 30 days’- supply is In dangsr of interruption from bad weather later ia the year, It is also being checked by the., rapid spread of, lnfiueasa among miners. Just how serious this will be there is no mesne of know­ ing at the present* time* but It has been serious enough to give the Fuel Administration much concern. Doc­ tors end nurses have -been put Into the district and every effort is being made to counteract the spread and to make conditions such, that miners can work when the members of their family are stricken. , At the same time, a movement is ea foot among theminers themselVee, stimulated by offlolals of the fuel de­ partment, to secure a larger produc­ tion by each miner. Host Of the miners hare responded very promptly to this demand. This larger produc­ tion, however, has led in soma eases to failure to clean the coal properly, this coming from smaller mines that are not equipped with the machinery necessary to do this work satisfac­ torily, The result has been in some cases * decrease la the efficiency ef the fuel, aad ce&sigersble"dlssatls- .feotioa among coal owners. This, too, kas received attention" of the federal department of inspection, aad efforts are being made to iastire a cl**n ’ooal supply, Taking ths situation as It stands today* Obto la likely to receive the full amount of ooal necessary for the manufeeturing and transportation en­ terprises tMi. are se essential to win­ cing the war, all the ooal necessary for homes, and probably a sufficient supply for that class of Industries thgt are net engaged directly la war •seentlals aad yet are necessary to toe comfort and well-being of the people.

' Fight Germany shovel. The less greater the victory, with year you use it toe With toe gone*in Europe silenced, we here now to consider e new world food situation. But there can be no hope tout the. Volume of our exports can ba lightened to toe slightest de­ gree with toe cessation of hostilities. Millions of people liberated from toe Prussian yoke are new depending upon us for the food which will keep them from starvation. ~ With food the United States made it peeelble for the, forces of democ­ racy to hold out to victory, To insure democracy In the world* we-must con­ tinue to live simply In order that we may supply these, liberated nations of Europe with food. - Hunger among a people Inevitably breeds anarchy. American foodmust complete top work of making the. world safe for democ­ r a t Last yeer we pent 11,820,000 tons of food to Europe- For the present year, with only the European Allies to feed* we bad originally pledged ourselves to a program that'would have increased our exports to 17,500,000 tons. Now, to feed the liberated nations, we will have,to export a total of not less than 30.000.000 toas—practically the limit of loading capacity at our ports. Re­ viewing the. world food'situation* we find that some foods will be obtainable la quantities sufficient to meet all -world needs under a, regime of eco­ nomical consumption. On' the other hand* there’ will be. marked world shortages to some Important commodi­ ties. Return te Normal Bread Leaf. With the. enlarged wheat crops Which American farmers haye grown, and ths supplies of Australia, the Ar­ gentine and other markets now acces­ sible to shipping, there are bread grains' enough to enable toe nations to return to their normal wheat loaf, provided we continue to mill Hour at a high percentage, of extraction and maintain economy 'in eating and the avoidance,of waste. In fats there will be a heavy short­ age—-about 3,000,000,000 pounds— In pork products,' dairy products and vegetable oils. While there will be a shortage of about three million tons In rich protein feeds for dairy ani­ mals, there will be sufficient supplies of other feedstuff* to allow-economical consumption. fn toe matter of beef* the world's supplies are limited to toe capacity of theravailable refrigerating ships* The supplies of beef In Australis* toe Ar­ gentine and, fbe United Stated are, suf­ ficient to losd these ahlpe. There will ■ be a shortage In toe Importing coun­ tries, but-we canttqt bope to expand exports materially for,thenextmonths In view of the-bottle neck la trans­ portation. We will have a sufficient supply of sugar to allow normal consumption la tills country if toe other nations re­ tain their present short rations or In­ crease them only slightly. For toe countries of .Europe, however, to In- cress* their present rations to a ma­ terial extent will necessitate our shar­ ing a part of our own supplies with them. Twenty Million Tens ef Feed. Of toe world, total. North America, will furnish more than 00 per cent. Ths United States* including the West Indies, will be celled upon to furnish 20.000.000 tons of food of all kinds as compared with our pre-war exports of about 6,000,000 tons. While We will be able to change our program In many respects, even a casual survey of the world supplies In comparison,to worlddemands shows conclusively tost Europe will know famine unlees the American people bring their home consumption down to the bareet minimum that will main­ tain health and. strength. Them are conditions of famine in Europe that wilt be beyond our power to remedy, Thera are 10,000,000 peo­ ple in North Rustle whom there Is small chance of reaching with food this winter. Their transportation la demoralised In complete anarchy, and Shortly‘ many of their ports will be frozen, even .if internal transport could be realised. T* Fr*s*rv* Civlllxatlen. At this moment Germany has not alone sucked to* food and animals from all those masses ef people she has dominated and left starving, but she ha* left behind her a total wreck­ age of social institutions, and this mass of people is sow confronted with absolute anarchy. If we value our own safety and the social organisation of thyworld, If w# value the preservation ef civilisation itself* we cannot permit -growth of this cancer in the World’s vitals. Famine is toe mother of knarchy. From the inability of governmenta to secure food for their people grow* revolution and chads. From an ability to supply their people grows stability of government and the defeat of an­ archy* Did wo put it on no higher plane than our interests in toe pro­ tection of our institution*, wo must bestir ourselves to solution of this problem.
