GETTING OUT THE COAL.

News that the coal miners are giviftg up picnics, fairs and other amusements that consume working time will be received the eouairy with,applause. :. 'y i In nearly every field, according to a statement issued by the fuel administration, "the mine workers are a unit

In consenting to making a sacrifice of their many usual holidays and diveri Sionfc. Wherever there seems to be a danger of taking men away from the "vital task' mining more coa.1 the

Biine workers are doing their part by Biakinsr the necessary sacrifice." A stronger spirit of patriotism prei *aiis among miners now than was the

Case 1b somfe coal, fields last winter Where mine workers took their full aocustomed Christmas and Xew Year's holidays—amounting to a week or wore of idleness—in the face oJL a, na.* lion-wide coatl famine. t* |-j August is the strategic time to appreciate the importance of th« "vjtal task of mining more coal"-—*n importance which becomes ^obvious enough in Januarv.

There is also the vital task of projj$ viding for the moving and storing of coal, that homes may not freeze and industry starve next winter/. *1 i'1?

longer calls yp those pictures of hirrqr and suffering that once featured every description of a battle. Every-, one (cnows that the fighting now is as severe as It was four years ago, and that similar stories might- be told sgaln and again, but tAe world is resigned to the acceptance ot such things as an inevitable part of t£e conflict. ..

The world never will be resigned to the cruelty of U-boat warfare as it is ^carried on by the Gorman admiralty.

Nobody knows what new excuse will be trumped up or what old excuse will Ik -be refurbished to account for the 'sinking of the Warllda, and nobody cares much. No excuse will suffice for these repeated outrages.

Vengeance visited upon Germany, in the form of defeat honorably adminlll istered in wari is the only answer that can be made to the barbarians. who 1 4 sink ships loaded with wounded men i'* and miaistering women.

FINAL COUNT.

Men, shooting men, men able to i *l.'£• slaughter Huns, are the elements that «re going to end this war. So help feed them and help keep them over there. iLoosen' your purse to every call your government sanctions.

Nothing in Premier Uoyd Oeorge's anniversary address will please the American people more than the words: "We are in this war for no selfish purpose.", Nothing short of a settlement

of the war upon principles bis enough and broad enough to Include all humanity will suffice to justify the carnage and destruction It has caused. •Nothing short of principles as lofty as that' Will give unalterable assurance that, however long and however bitter the struggle may be, there will be no turning back and no compromise.

In a war for the eternal principles of right the British people surely will hold fast, »nd the American people will hold with them as neither people would hold In a contest for gains that could be bargained or compromised.

This country is building factories for war work that will not be finished before 1920. Congress "la about to consider a new draft bill that will Insure a steady flow of troops to France as long as Gen. Pershing calls for troops. Lloyd George's watchword, "Hold fast," Is America's watchword, and its practical effects are being recognized in preparations that willt enable' the nation to hold until the end.*

IRELAND'S PROBLEM*

The disposition of the Irish leaders to leave the question of the future of Ireland to President Wilson will hardly be acted on. The people of this country feel that the 'Irish people could well postpone their issue for the moment and step in and do what they can to smash the Hun. The ends of thi£ war and the issue of victory are entirely democratic. Over here it is felt now that Ireland can best help herself by helping^ the big cause of democracy now gravely at stake.

The problem is distinctly one between Great Britain and Ireland. President Wilson, it is true, has enunciated a basic principle for the settlement of many of the trials of nationality that afflict the world. .But with the application of that principle to concrete cases, such as Ireland, and with the determination of Just how completely the case of the distracted island is affected by his basic rule. Great Britain and Ireland alone are concerned. It stands/ to reason that the statesman who has specifically disclaimed any intention or wish to interfere in the internal affairs of our enemies, Germany' and Austria-Hungary, is even more resolutely opposed to interfere ence the internal affairs of a friendly nation such as Great Britain.

But, even if it were otherwise, what possible basis is there for believing that any decision reached by President "Wilson Would be more satisfactory than one reached by the British cabinet? The latter body has, in its long record of dealing with the Irish "question, reached every conceivable "character ..of' decision. Yet we have never heard that any of them was received to Ireland with th! degree of universal acceptance that alone promises success. Is it reasonable to suppose that home rule decreed and recommended by President Wilson would be any more acceptable to Ulster than the same solution decreed by the British parliament in which three pcore

Iriah members have a vote? On the contrary the chances art" that Ulster would view such an outside interference in its affairs as even more unwarranted than the action ®f the rest of Ireland.

Let us have done with all this talk of the settlement of the Irish question by theoretical eptperti. No man who has lived three thousand miles away from Dublin all his life can .possibly be equipped for the task.

Says the German Official communication: "After his defeat of yesterday, the enemy has remained quiet.'" That must refer to some wounded solder the Hun* caught and killed.,.

It is the beginning of the end. German people have to live on substitute food, and German submarines have to prey on fishing schooners and barges.

The city controller of Atlantic City is a lady but It must be understood that she has no control ove^ the beach costumes.

The fifth year of the war has started, and the kaiser can already begin to see the finish. ...

WANTS EXPERT TO DIAGNOSE TAX RATE

Taxpayer Says City's Present Dilemma Should Be Gone XZL Bu&ineaf-Like ,Way.

Edftor of the Tribune:— Dear Sir —I .notice yo»r editorial in yesterday's Tribune with regard to the proposed' increase of tax rate in the city of Terre Haute, and the suggestion that the axe be used to lop off any dead timber. v I also notice that the mayor is quoted as saying, that he proposes to call in some business men. fqr a conference before there is any increased tax rate.

Now if he merely talis irt some business men and reads over to them a large array of figure.5! prepared by tfie city controller, showing the indebtedness of the city, and. the yearly and monthly running expenses of the city, and what our taxable valuation produces in revenue, he will have accomplished nothing so far as enlightening anybody is concerned, and the approval of a tax raise by any set of men on such a basis, would ®ot be convincing to anyone. •'I see the school boai iS also considering the raising of its tai rate to large proportions. 'What should be done, is to have a scientific survey or audit of the city and school boarjl made, by a disinterested auditing company of unquestioned ability an audit that would not only show what our expenditures are, but would also show what of value is received by the city, in return for each expenditure, or class of expenditures that is to say, *to show what return in value is received by the city from each department, for the money gpent by that particular department. This is exactly what the biggest business concerns do when they are losing money, to ascertain where the leaks are and to remedy them. The largest hotels in the country, the cost of operation of which is enormous and very intricate and complex in character, have this done ever so often, so as to beable to scientifically lop off the dead timber and stop up the leaks that develop in the management and operation of their business.

Such an audit or survey ought not to be unjder the direction of the city itself, nor of any one particular body, like the commercial club, but should be under a group of men who would give the time and study necepsary to the matter in hand, and who could analize the reports made, and suggest a remedy. The cost of such a survey or audit could easily be raised by popular subscription among the tax payers, if it was shown that the matter was to be thoroughly and properly conducted, and it would be a benefit not only £?r the present time, but for the future "Why not start such a move? As an activity such as this would be of far more value to the city than many of the things that different groups of citizens are employing their energies in at the present time.

•a,

TAXPAYER.

HEW COAL EEC0ED.

Mines In Terre Hauts Field Reach Maximum Output. Indiana coal mines reached a new monthly record for prqduction during July, when 2,832,267 tons were hoisted, according to reports to the district representative of the United Htates fuel administration... The previous high mark, which was attained in June, was 2,546,452 tons. Never, in the history of coal mining in Indiana have such production figures as.these been reached.

This high mark was made possible largely by an.increased supply of cars. The car shortage during July was 7.19 per cent, as against 11.32 per cent in June. The additional tonnage possible with a full car supply., in July was 263,330. The principal car shortage was on the Pennsylvania system, which supplies 39 mines, and which amounted to 14.55 per cent. The Illinois Central had A shortage of* 17.04 per cent, but it serves a small number of mines.

The Chicago, Terre Haute & Southeastern road had the best record, with a shortage of only .87 per cent, while the Big Four had a shortage of only 3.13 per cent, and the C- & E. I. a shortage of only 1.62 per cent. Labor trouble caused a loss of 1.95 per cent of the time, as against 2.75 per cent in June^
