With a day's contributions almost equal to the combined totals of the first, two days, the Cross campaign-today was boosted to the amount of $156,842, over fifty per cent. more than the quota asked from the city. It took the patriotic [residents of this old town only three ays to give the Red Cross one-half much again as they were called pon to contribute. The collections nd subscriptions yesterday amounted $76,378, of which local corpora- ions furnished $35,260, almost pne-half.

En- listment will be purely voluntary but all students over the age of 18 will be encouraged to enlist. The enlistment will constitute the student a member of the Army of the United States, liable to active duty at the call of the President. It will, however, be the policy of the Government not to call the members of the train- ing units to active duty until they have reached the age of 21, less urgent military necess! compels an earlier call.

One of the official re the proclamation, whi vesterday, overthrowing the government of Ukraine and establish- ing German military rule, was that the Ukraine government had not tak- en proper steps to encourage spring planting. This seems to be a con- fession that things there are not as the Germans hoped to find them, and that they have experienced bitter dis- appolntment. In fact, it looks as if there were but one direction in which the Germans could profit materially by their breach of faith in this re- glon, and that is by seizing all cop- per and brass. It is a question, ever, whether they will dare to do this. There is a limit even to their temerity, and it would be difficult to imagine anything surer to spread rywhere, even in the humblest the profoundest hatred of everything German, for almost every peasant family in Russia has copper or brass kitchen utens which form the mainstay of their cooking outfit. This resource would he of real impor- tance if the German authorities dare to utilize it, but the universal resent- ment which would thus be provoked might be so severe that a larger army would be requisite -to prevent an up- rising than could be équipped with the metals of which these poor wretches would be deprived. Of course they would be fed on prom- ises of very superioriron sauce pans, ete., but it would take a long time to furnish these under present condi- tions and before these promises were fulfiiied the damage would have been done. Bven as it is I fancy mans are going to h time throughout Russia. s0 complet destroyed all local or- ganization that no local authorities remain against whom threats could be made in case of guerilla warfare, and with the universal hatred of the Ger- mans accentuated by robbery of the lowest individuals, it not un- likely that murder of individual Ger- mans will looked upon as a most glorious deed In fact, this syvstem of handling oppressors has been in great vogue among the Slavic races for a long time. 1t ig worth notice that Heyduc, the Serhian name for a local hero, and the Greek Klepht, the name of the party which finally overthrew the Turks have the same meaning, name- ly robber. Th in each case have represented the eclement which took to the wilds and upheld the spirit of the people in the same way Rob- in Hood 600 years earlier in England. It would seem probable that 500,000 men would be a small force for po- Meing the 160,000,000 people who made up the Russian Empire. For the most part these are scattered in small hamlets of not exceeding 1,500 people. At this rate 10,000 police would only mean one 320 of pop- ulation, or say five for an average of 1,600 people. Surely a smaller num- than this would have much aif- ficulty in maintaining order among co large a hostile population, and probably even at that rate at least 20 per cent. of the force x\'o‘{ld hve to be v ntained as a reserve in var- jous sections, leaving on the average for the actual garrison only one per- on for 400 It docs not look as-if this overthrow Russia were likely to be an un- boon to Germany. -N.

The coal trade today stands at ona of the crossroads of the season. verging avenues of complexities are s0 many that, for the time being, there is no one development run- | ning through all of the markets and mining fields of the country that m| entitled to first place as the major ele- ment. Tt is a case rather of many minor developments, any of which has in it the germ of domination, strug- gling for mastery. In one field it is | the car situation: in another, labor shortage; in a third, dispute as to | prices; in a fourth, growing com- plaints as to the scarcity of tonnage ! and in another, decreased production i because the communities served by | the mines of that particular one have - not yet awakened to the seriousness of the situation that confronts the country These erratic tendencies find their most marked expression in the bitu- minous trade. To a lesser degree, | they are also present in the anthra- {cite steam trade. Conditions with re- |spect to anthracite sizes going,to the household consumer are in pleasing | contrast. From every point that has ynot been deprived of anthracite by government zoning orders, the cry goes up for more tonnage. So great iis the pressure that community nerves are on edge and before long a recur- rence of mectional rivalry which s voiced in complaints that one section has been unfairly dealt with in sup- plies to the preference of another will probably be in evidence Meanwhile, the produci {in this trade are devoting { efforts to increased output and more expeditious delivery. The figures for April shipments, while not equal to the high mark made in 1915, are cheering in that they represent a sub- stantial increase over the same month in 1917 and augur well for the rate of production for the balance of the coal year. In addition, plans have already been adopted by one com- pany—and will, no doubt, be followed by others—under which it is hoped that the existing facilities of trans- portation may be more effectively utilized. Some of the minor developments in the bituminous trade, a proper sub- ject for optimistic comment last week, have taken a turn that is less favor- able. The movement of coal from the lower lake ports, which made such | a fiving start, has, for example, re- ceived a set-back. This is, however, believed to be only temporary and should not be the oceasion for gloomy prognostications unless loadings for the balance of the month continue to show a downward trend. Likewise, the latest available governmental re- ports upon bituminous coal and coke production show a slight falling off the first week in May. This of a much moyx serious situation the demands of the country are ch that any temporary let-down in output, however short in time, skates perilously near to the edge of disaster. Looking to the future, the impend- ing conventions of the national or- ganizations of the three great branches of the coal industry are welcomed as giving an opportunity for much needed constructive effort. It is trite to say that this is the day of associations, but that does not rob | it of its truth. There are so many nt to wartime regula- that require the attention that can be given only through a national | orpanization. There are, too, many changes being forced upon the trade | hecause of the present conflict that will leave a definite impress upon the | course of the industry long after the 11 has passed into history and today not an hour too early to begin a serious, constructive consideration of these problems. For this reason, ence of West Virginia discuss the export trade will, properly followed up, have a momentous effect upon the future of the country. Sound business demands | a frank facing of certain facts in the present situpd#om and their post-war bearings. Although it is charged that the present rate of production is not equal to the fuel requirements of the country, output has been speeded up to a point that now seems beyond the capacity of the United States to ab- | sorb when, as it expected, much of the war-created industry will pass out of existence. To permit a decline in coal production after the war would not only be unacceptable to the operar tors, but would, it is feared, c with It the possibilities of a rencwa price slaughtering upon a scale that of pre-war days road of escape from this con- tingency appears to be an expanded foreign market for American coals, but it is a road that can be won only after thorough organization and care- ful planning Hence the interest focused upon the subject now is most tim interests their best tion the recent confer- operators to after the war logical reating the division as a whole, it must be conceded that conditlons in the wholesale trade are not entirely catisfactory to many factors engaged in it. The organized, concerted effort of the jobbers have won for them cer- tain victories that would not have heen otherwise possible. These vic- tories, however, have not been free from disadvantages and there are many influential middlemen who in- | sist that there should be further re- adjustments to enable them to be In what they denomlinate a less artificlal position. Whether it is advisable to risk the gains already in hand upon a fight for further recognltlon is tho big question that the wholesalers must solve. ) Insofar as the retail trade is con- cerned, it must be admitted that the duties laid upon them by federal regu- lation have redounded to the benefit of the dealer. Irksome, costly and even unnecessary as some of the re- quirements made by the various rep- reseniatives of the United States fuel alministration may have been, they have led the virtue of forcing the rank and file of the trade to make such an intensive study of their business ae never before aftempted.
