STARTLING NEWS SLIPS BY GERMAN
CENSOR. COAL SHORTAGE HURTING
WAR INDUSTRIES THROUGHOUT EMPIRE
Confirmation of the sensational *
dispatch from Washington telling *
how German's war industry is *
slowing down for lack of coal, *
electric current and material is *
contained in two recent dispatch- *
es, one from Switzerland stating *
Germany has refused to let Switz- *
erland have more coal unless a *
huge loan is granted, and the *
other from Berlin announcing *
restaurants, hotels and other pub- *
lie places have been ordered tp re- *
duce lighting to one-fifth the illu- *
mination permitted up to Decern- *
ber, 1916, on account of great *
shortage of coal. This means they *
will be permitted to furnish light *
only two hours a day, which bare- *
ly covers the most restricted *
meal time.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17, (By Mail)
—The Kaiser's troops are threatened
with shortage of munitions and war
supplies. Germany’s war industries
are slowing' down on account of a
lack of coal, electric current and ma
terials. For weeks her munition plants
have been running only part time, pro
ducing only part of the guns, shells
and other weapons on which modern
military success depends.
This is considered in Washington
to be the real underlying cause of
Germany’s peace moves and the fran
tic efforts of the Kaiser to obtain de
cisive results on the Russian front.
This great news comes through a
copy of the Frankfort Zeitung, which
has just reached Washington, an ob
scure paragraph of which tells the
whole truth about Germany's critical
i
ation, 26 degrees 30 minutes east.
The foregoing description by metes
and bounds is according to the official |
plat and Held notes on tile in the office I
of the Register of the Land Office at,
Juneau, Alaska, a copy of which said!
official plat is posted upon the land1
with this notice of application for pat
ent.

condition. How it escaped the eagle
eye of the censor is a mystery.
“In view of the fact that working
of short time is becoming more com
mon in the war industry, on account
of shortage of coal, electric current
and materials, we demand that the
workmen shall everywhere be paid for
the time lost.
“The intolerable price of food and
all other necessities compel workmen
to insist upon this demand, as a fur
ther deterioration in their living con
ditions is unbearable.”
Analysis of this resolution shows
its importance. This is not a local
union protesting about conditions that
might arise from a transportation
tie-up, but the strongest of all the
German unions with a pre-war mem
bership of 1,106,003, represented in
every industrial city, protesting about
the loss of time in war industries gen
erally, demanding that workmen “ev
erywhere” be paid for this time.
The loss of productive time is not
due to a deficiency of some one ma- /
terial for which a substitute might be
found by German science, but to a
shortage of the essentials of industry
without which not a wheel can turn—
“Coal, electric current and materials.”
This shortage is affecting, not the
woodworking industry or some other
line of manufacture with which Ger
many could dispense, but the “War
Industry,” without which Hindenburg’s
millions would be little better than
so many tin soldiers.
This loss of time, “becoming ever
more common,” is not simply a mat
ter of a day or two once in a whije,
but is so prevalent that this great
union, ultra-loyal from the beginning
of the war, is at last driven to voice
its demands to be paid for this short
age in their pay-envelopes.
There can be little doubt the short
age of coal has been caused in part,
at least, by the furious allied attacks
on Lens, the great French coal cen
ter, *but there is reason to believe, as
indicated by previous dispatches, that
even the German mines are not pro
ducing up to capacity on account of
lack of able-bodied men.
The shortage of electric current
arises from coal shortage, but it also
means more than a mere lack of cur
rent to operate machines. Shortage of
electric current menaces Germany’s
supply of nitrates, the essential basis
of powder and every form of explo
sive. Germany has no nitrate depos
its and is forced to rely upon the fix
ation of atmospheric nitrogen by elec
fric current.
The vital meaning of this obscure
paragraph in a German newspaper is
that the German war machine is now
breaking down and no amount of fren
zied drives by the Kaiser or crown
prince on Russia or the western front
can conceal that fact.
