COAL TO WIN
Recent reports from the committee on national de
fense of the American Railvvat Association show that the
coal situation in the United States, on which the winning
of the present war in a great measure depends, is still
just as serious as when the first report was issued call
ing on the nation for help, and on which The Gateway
based its “Get the Coal Campaign.”
News that coal has been discovered at Mile 175 on the
main line of the railroad is a further proof of the great ex
tent of the Matanuska coal fields, and the prime need is
that this coal should be delivered at west coast points be
fore the coming winter is too far advanced.
News from Anchorage that the branch line to the coal
fields will be completed through to Chickaloon within the
next two weeks is encouraging.
Concentration of effort on Turnagain Arm for the
next ninetv davs will work wonders.
* *
Even though it can be produced in small quantities
only, during the coming winter, every ton of fuel that can
be mined will aid that much in winning the war.

SAYS SUBS MAY WIN
American people have no conception of the serious
ness of the present phase of the war, according to W. C.
Gilbert, the Washington correspondent for the New York
Tribune, who recently penned the following:
“The people of this country have no idea how near
they are to losing the war.
“Besides threatening to starve England, the German
submarine aims to gain control of the seas by attacking
the fuel supplies, of the Allied navies. Fuel is to a navy
what food is to people. Every time Germany sinks an oil
tanker she strikes a blow as serious as when she sinks a
food ship.
“The Allied navies are living from hand to mouth so
far as fuel oil supplies are concerned. The French and
Italian navies are practically tied up in their ports for lack
of fuel. No more naval activity is indulged in than is ab
solutely necessary. The United States has no bigger and
more important task upon its hands than to keep the Al
lied navies supplied with fuel oil until such time as the
submarine is overcome. Confidence is expressed here that
this duty can be fulfilled. But the gravity of the case is
appalling.
FROM “YOUR WILLIAM”
■J -
‘‘Your William’s” letter to what formerly was King
Constantine, but which now is seeking asylum where the
board bills are not too high and the allies’ picket firing isn’t
bothersome, strikes our funny-bone just right.
There was a pair of wet feet, acquired about 5 a. m.,
from contributory negligence in connection with the gar
den hose; later on, the coffee seemed not to have that di
vine, ambrosial, mule-like kick which one with a soused
underpinning expects of a 40-cent mixture, and to this ca
lamity was added eggs over-done, due to criminal forget
fulness.
Indeed, everything was going badly until the morning
paper hit the front window with the muzzle velocity of a
bean ball, and then quickly came to view therein “Your
William’s letter, dissipating pedal chill and caffetanic dis
appointments.
Of course, it depends upon the point of view altogeth
er. Neither a king nor a cat would laugh at it, but it came
mighty near tearing out the midriff buttonholes of a plain
American citizen. Does it tickle you in the same spot?
“I have heard with wrath of the infamous outrage
committed by our common enmies upon you and upon
your dynasty. I assure you that your deprivation can only
be temporary. The mailed fist of Germany, wTith further
aid from Almighty God, wil restore you^to your throne, of
HOPE DOPE.
—Patrick in New Orleans Times*Picayune.
which no man by right can rob you. The armies of Ger
many and Germany’s allies will wreak vengeance on those
who have dared so insolently to lay their criminal hands
on you. We hope to welcome you in Germany at the earl
iest opportunity. A thousand cordial greetings from,
‘‘YOl'll WILLIAM.”—Ex.
The plight of the Arizona strikers now in New Mex
ico. whence they were deported by an active strike-break
ing committee of citizens from Douglas and Bisbee, would
make it aparent that it is rather unhealthy to strike in
this country just now unless the cause is sufficiently just
to be recognized by a majority of those presnt in that par
ticular community._
