COAL DEALERS SEE DANGER IN > STORAGE LACK Convention Members Urge Importance of Early Fuel Supply. The clanging and banging of Intricate, balky coal handling machinery In operation has replaced the sounds of choirs and evangelistic sermons at the Gipsy Smith tabernacle. The coal exposition, being held in connection with the fifth annual convention of the Indiana BetaU Coal Merchants Association, opened at the tabernacle Wednesday and will continue until Friday evening, being open and free to the public. The man who Joggles a shovel, filled with black diamonds, in his basement can now see how giant shovels and scoops pick up and convey tons of coal. H-OPE TO STIMULATE fiOHIEB BUYING. The visiting coal dealers, who come from all over the State and supply coal to the majority of homes of Indiana, seem unanlmons, according to Manager J. R. Longstreth of the Lake A Export offices here, in the belief that nniess something can be done to stimulate summer buying and storing of coal, there will be a distressful shortage and higher prices this fall and winter. Longstreth says that almost without exception the dealers reported that their stock of stored coal is lower by 60 per cent this year than at this time last year, the bins having been permitted to go low because of the public’s disinclination to bny winter’s supply early in the summer. One of the new achievements in the coal Industry which interested the visiting coal dealers was the details of the engineering feat Just completed at the Lecco-Enreka mine at Prestoasburg, Ky. The unique feature of this new Lecco mine le an eight-foot high suspension bridge, which does not Interfere with navigation of the Big Bandy River. This bridge supports a mammoth rubber belt which can convey 250 tons of coal an hour across the river from the Miller Creek team to the railroad on the opposite bank. Thie mine is of unusual interest because much of Its output comeS Into Indiana. m VISTIORS AT CONVENTION. Among the prominent visiting coal men are Ernest Ellis of JKokomo, J. J. Henry, Connersville; S. C. Heet, Richmond; G. W. Schupp, North Manchester; Ira Kauffman, Elkhart; Ed McGuff, Mantie; Thomas Childs, Anderson; C. L. Carroll, Decatur; E. Deem, Bluffton; John McLain, Marion; J. Q. Wolf, Marion: E. J. Russell, Portland, and others. Dr. George Otis Smith, director of the United States Geological purvey of Washington, was expected here late today. He will speak tomorrow afternoon on the )hreatened coal shortage and how to prePot it by prompt buying and storing of oal for next winter. The first business session of the convention opened this afternoon with a number of addresses by” coal authorities. The public is invited to attend the exposition and convention sessions, so It may become more enlightened on fuel conditions. A banquet will be held tonight at Independent Athletic Club. PAST MASTERS EVENT TONIGHT lowan and New Yorker Chief Speakers. George L.

NAVAL FORCE IS ORGANIZED IN TWO FLEETS (Conttnnvd From Pace One.) fleet within a few day’s notice. The World War postponed its creation. When the tlm came the expansion in ship construction had beeD so great we were able to constitute two fleets, each having 185 ships, aggregating for each 523,000 tons, or 100,000 tonnage in each fleet than

composed the whole fleet which "Fighting Bob” Evans took around tha world on that famous voyage ordered by President Roosevelt. SERVES AS WARNING TO THE WORLD. With the completion of the ships authorized In the three-year program our Navy will have strength unequaled by any other nation; and the fleet, when combined, will be an armada which will compel respect, and, I trust, be a warning to any nation not to emulate Germany’s greed for world conquest. The decision of the Navy Department to organize and establish anew Pacific fleet of strength equal to the Atlantic fleet is based on sound reasons, both strategical and administrative. The results of having the entire Navy organized in two grand fleets, the Atlantic and the Pacific, will undoubtedly greatly improve the' efficiency of the Navy as a whole, due to the fact that more war problem exercises on a large scale can be carried out during a year’s work, and these exercises can also be conflicted on the two oceans which are on the shores of the United States. In addition the spirit of competition in the results to be obtained In target practice, engineering records and other various forms of fleet exercises and training will undoubtedly produce a fine effect on the morale, and thereby greatly Increase the general efficiency. NAVY NOT ‘'DIVIDED” INTO TWO FLEETS. It is a mistake to speak of the Navy as being “divided” into two fleets, in the sense that the two fleets are widely separated. and. therefore, do not support each other. The more correct expression is to say that the Navy is organized In two great fleets, each composed of the same number of divisions of the various types of ships which go to make up that tactical organization called a fleet. This is true because the Panama Canal permits the two fleets, at all times, to be in close touch with each other. Either fleet could be sent from the main strategical positions on one coast to those positions on the other coast, within comparatively few days, and as this period is less than that in which any enemy of any important strength could attack either one of our seacoasts, it is evident that in no way does the two-fleet organization plan weaken the protection of either of our coasts. A* a matter of fact, this plan of organization greatly increases the protecticn of each 'coast, and in that way the protection of our nation as a whole. The protection of either one of our long seacoasts not only depends upon the ships themselves, but it also very materially depends upon the establishment, size and location of naval bases and navy yards, which must exist for the maintenance of the fleet In war as well as in peace, and it is evident that such bases will only be properly developed when they are used by a large force of ships during times of peace. MAHAN PRINCIPLE NOT VIOLATED. There can be no question that as a general principle the policy enunciated by Mahan Is sound, viz; That the division of a naval force weakens the strength of the entire force, as it enables an enemy to attack one of the parts of the force so divided. The result of the division of the English navy in the revolutionary war, and of the Russian navy in the Russo-Japanese war illustrate this principle is only violated when a force is divided and so Widely separated that the two or -more parts of the force can not support each other. For instance, the two Russian fleets, one-in the Baltic sea and tie other in the China sea, during the Russo-Japanese war, were so widely separated that they could not support each other, or one go to the assistance of the other, before the enemy could attack. In the new organization of the Ameri-

can Navy, as pointed out above, these two fleets, the Atlantic and the Pacific, are not so widely separated as to be unable to support each other. They are, in fact, so situated at all times that one can come to the immediate assistance of the othef in case of any impending danger of an attack from any enemy’s naval force. It therefore la clear that strategically the new organization does not offend against the principle enunciated by Mahan, who foresaw that the Pacific would be the center of naval concentration. TWO FLEETS CAN COMBINE EASILY. The other question of naval activities Is whether the two fleet organizations would materially interfere with the tactics of the combined fleet should the two fleets be brought together to operate as one force. . In both the Atlantic and the Pacific fleets we havr an equal number of division units of the ships of the different classes, so that should 'the two fleets come together, either in the Atlantic or the Pacific ocean, both of them can combine Immediately into one tactical fleet, making a homogeneous whole without the slightest difficulty. Instead of two or three divisions, there would be some twenty-odd divisions. Instead of four divisions of battleships, there would be eight divisions. This combination of two fleets into one has been entirely foreseen and will be carried out in exercises with the-two fleets combined intp one. The divisions of the two fleets bear certain serial numbers, so that when they come together each division has its assigned place in the battle formation. Orders have' been given definitely designating which one of the fleet commanders would be in supreme command of the different units of each fleet, and they

know in advance of Juncture exactly what the position of their divisions of ships would be in the bati'e formation of the combined fleet. VITAL NEED OF COMPETITION. I learned after several years of service as Secretary of the Navy that a supreme need Is competition. Without competition ships and fleets go stale in periods of long peace. Place two admirals—the biggest and most ambitious men In the Navy—ln command of the Pacific and Atlantic fleets. Tell them that once in every year they will come-together for a fight simulating war, and you will put all the men In both fleets on their toes to win. The struggle for first place will grow to be the great national contest, far oytdistaneing the Interest In the annual football games between the Army and the Navy. By tkis keen competition, and in no other way, will you make the American Navy lit to fight at any time and keep it in the pink of condition.
