DECOYS FAIL.

Germany would be pleased to hav« the United States keep tfie American navy in American waters. Since the itetermtlon of American belligerency the fleet of Admiral Sims has given Valuable assistance to the British in crushing the U-boat menace In the •astern Atlantic. Were this American ®aet sent home the task of the British ISOuld be much greater, and the exponents of Tlrpltzism might once more •TOTO ia| troublesome.

If Germany had a motive other than to scare America and, if possible, to bag a transport the dispatch of submarines to the American coast may be attributed to this desire to compel the recall of a considerable part of the American navy. Just as the air raids «B London and Paris have compelled the British and French to keep a considerable air fleet at home so the attack along the American coast may be Intended as a means to force the Ameri(U navy into ^unprofitable employment!

There Is ever^ indication that this fretnian plan will come to nothing. Unless the submarine menace in Amertoan waters becomes far greater than ts now expected the naval craft on dtaty on home stations will be adequate meet any emergency. The U-boat become as dangerous "over as it is "over there." For Amerthere Is the plain duty of smashing submarine where it is most wienie ieln^, A return to the almost unre-

F«M

'J *n

Stricted U-boat activity in European Iraters would render the transport of ^roopa to France difficult and danger4us. America is bent on winning the War. To win the war American solution must get to France. To send Americas soldiers and American mualtlons to France it is necessary to fontrol the U-boat situation off the toasts of Europe. This is of more vital Importance than anything else the tXnlted States navy has to do.

f| COAL SHORTAGE.

The Tribune has had something to say of the coal Shortage prior to this. The subject, however, will bear frequent consideration.

The terrible danger of the cjal Shortage confronting' ths nation Is brought to- light by two figures. Men Connected with the United States fuel tdmtnistration have said before two Conventions of coal men recently that the Indicated demand for coal this year

-f V.

\fci

•*W

t~ I- v.". v\« ^, «.. iV^i? f!, i»r

is at least for 720,000,000 tons of all kinds of coal. This is more likely to Increase to upwards of 760,000,000 tons of coal than fall below the first figure. Since there are but S00 days in the coal year in which coal can be delivered this means a daily demand, measured on the annual basis, for 2,435,000 tons at least,

The last report of the fuel administration on production shows that in the last week in May the output reached its highest point, with a daily average of 1,968,000 tons.

If the demand la for 2,435,000 tons, and if the maximum dally production is 1,969,000 tons, then th^ national production la falling behind the national demand at the rat« of 467,000 tons a day. On this basis of 300 working days, this means a shortage of coal for this year of 140,100,000 tons."At the same time," says the Black Diamond, the coal weekly, "It Is said that the mines on the average are running to only 77.9 per cent of their productive capacity, due to a ear and labor shortage—and in some cases to the absence of orders.'* T^ie government controls the railroads, which effects the biggest reduction In output— It ta drawing miners away from the mines, which la increasing the labor shortage. The people themselves in aereral important districts are falling and refusing to buy coal, which is helping *in that direction to Increase the shortage. On these three accounts the nation is facing the danger of just twice as serious a situation as we ha$ last fall, because the shortage of coal will be about twice what it waa at that time, The situation seems to call for an intensified campaign to improve production, but it still remains true that the fuel administration has no committee or department devoting its energies along that line."

A new situation has come to bother the coal mines, and that Is their inability to get the needed supplies quickly. Formerly parts of broken machines were obtained from near-by jobbers or, at the worst, from the factory." Today the Jobber and the factory cannot ship supplies without conaent from Waahington, and at Washington the question of mine supplies Is mixed up with the question of war supplies under the priorities board. The terrible tediousness of this process of getting necessary equipment to the mines Is curtailing production. It hasn't yet become a serious drain ttpon production, but present delays indicate that it soon will!

-FOURTH OF JULY.

^V"^'4" -r J*, 4

Chief Beattie suggests that special

effort should be made thla year for a sane and safe Fourth of July. His auggeation will have the approval of every thinking citizen. If every American community held such a celebration aa was tolerated in the days before sanity and safety prevailed it would mean a waste of resources run-! ning into millions of dollars...

If the larger communities set the ex» ample in this matter it will be followed by the smaller communities, and it would seem advisable that a presidential proclamation

Bringing Iron & Front

It is a weM-known fact that men of courage, men with brawn and nerve to "buck the line and go ©ver-the-top have rich red blood coursing through their veins. This blood must contain about as Jniich iron as there is In a Common "tenpenny" nail. The jfred blood corpuscles must be led on iron to have that rich red color. Th« nerves are fed

on the red blood corpuscles, so "when you feel tired, worn out before the day is half over, •when pimples show on neck or lace, it's the danger signal, time to repair the blood cells. It is fortunate that Dr. Pierce and his staff of able physicians at the Surgical Institute in Buffalo have found a combination of iron and herbal ex-

assurance doubly sure that a safe and sane. Fourth be raade th* rule everywhere. ^side from the waste of resources, thei^e is need of arnica and bandages for a more serious cause this year.

The usual police warning on the subject might this year be stiffened up a bit to incline the public mind towards its observation. Jt was gun powder made the Fourth of July. The same agency in the magazine of American rifles and cannon is going to make a greater Fourth of July a world-wide I institution. Until this verdict ia

tracts that gives the stomach tone, fortifies the blood with iron in a form that it, can be taken into the system. You need energy and "pep*" every day. You can acquire it quickly by taking "Irontic." This latest discovery called ^Iron-tic," can be had at most drug stores in tablet form, at 60c the vial. Send the Surgical Institute in Buffalo, N. Y., 10c for trial pkg. if you wish to make a trial.

Men "with a wallup, men who are on th« front or doing their ^bit" behind the lines, are men with, an active liver. When they feel logy, dull, headachy, blue, and what is termed bilious, they acquire regular habits, become "regular as clockwork" from taking Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.

PONDER YOUR LUCK.

Food Direotor Ahlgren says we will I have to learn to pinch a bit more In our food savings. He reminds us that the French and English people have been holding the Germans back from us for four years and haven't had much time to labor in the flelda

We stand at the threshold of perhaps the greatest crisis we have ever faced as a nation. We have staked our fortunes, the lives of our sons and sunk our personal desires in the struggle for liberty. These men who have gone over need never question our support, but .it Is just as Important to continue the stream of supplies, especially wheat flour, to Britain, France and Italy, without whose assistance and unimpaired morale our forces can accomplish nothings:

The allies use every possible cereal substitute, .j&n<), yet requires some wheat flour to bind their scanty loaf. This flour must be furnished, and because our surplus has long been exhausted it can only be supplied from our saving from all sections of the country. From organizations and individuals have come messages pledging complete abstention from wheat until next harvest.

The gpvemment is hopeful that the response will be nation-wide from all who can afford it, and we will be able to give to the women and children and soldiers of our allies the bread they a s k i

THE NEXT TAX LAW.

Secretary McAdoo*S -recommendation that the new tax law shall be framed to raise one-third of the War revenue follows the lines which have been understood to be the policy of the administration. It is also the policy which a great majority o£ financial experts have favored.

All the tax that the country can pay without crippling production is the rule likely to be followed, and, even where the tax will fall heaviest, little complaint is heard. The great majority of the men who are making large profits out of war industry undoubtedly epepect to return all but a fair, profit to the country and agree that they should do so.

If they are not required to do st, and if the tax is not made high in every direction, then larger bond issues must be offered and that means highei* interest on bonds and higher rates for

money a11

lon*er

Somebody informs us that the price of shoes in Hungary is $83 a pair. One does not need to ask whether the Hungarian peasantry is going barefoot this summer.

It fs Tto#' said that Vlr. McAdoo Was very ill when he fired all the, £&ilroad presidenta. As Mark Twain might have said, they're .lucky that he wasn't dead.

Says the Berlin Vossisch# Zeitung: "Either Germany or England must be pushed out of the ranks of world powers.** That's the way to talk—now all push! V '.V-r .V*

In order to be sure that he obeys the rule about eating only a third as much wheat as under normal conditions, the real patriot won't eat that much.

i-One reads that 23 per cent of the Germans are suffering from barbers' itch. Germany must have used up her Viaibla supply of safety razors.

Some fine American poem l^ill doubtless be written about -Canngny some day, when everybody i£ America learn® how to pronounce it.

Seer has gone up in price, and, anyhow, the idea that beer makes you cool has been proven a fallacy.

Venus rules atrongly for good this day, while Saturn also ia friendly. Uranus is adverse.

It is a most auspicious day for weddings, the stars apparently presaging prosperity and happiness. .-There is an especially good sign for marriages in which one or both persons may

"Women and att their enterprises, whether sentimental or otherwise, are subject to the most fortunate guidance during this configuration.

While the away that increases romance continues strong and will continue so during the summer months, there is a sign warning that it is easy to be deceived when Uranus frowns.

Suspicion and unrest are believed to be encouraged when Uranus is in evil place, and this in the commercial world may cause a slump in stocks.

All the prognostications emphasize the need of cultivating an optimistic state of mind. Uranus reminds occullsta that thoughta are things that may prove mischievous In time of war.

Astrologers predict that there will be need of severe and inexorable penalties for disloyalty or even lack of patriotism before midsummer.

Danger for the king of England again is foreseen by the seers. He should be careful to avoid accident.

Theatrical affairs have the best possible leading under* this rule of the stars, but gains will be made in establishing closer relations with the gov-

ernment and the public rather than collar buttons and cuff buttons like money-making. Because, occultists •Heclaret the United States is subject to a guidance! of the planets which makes It always i extreme in its experience, the war will: bring it no half-way victories.
