TRUCKS WILL HAUL COAL FROM M.'V.'ES DJRLCT TO USERS ';Coal mines ciii oi:V; pro.luve when transportation is available. The 'rush' for coal cars will come in the early fall about the time the wheat crop begins to move. The task of moving these two commodities is, i?t ?i ,1,;.. normal years, enormous, uuu year, with car shortage in sight. Europe crying for food and stiff wheat prices forcing every bushel into market there will be a 'jam' everywhere. This extract from a warming to coal consumers sent out recently by American Mining Congress is being pointed to by ship-by-truck advocates as a fulfillment of their propresy that the 1019 situation will be as in former years?the threat of a national coal famine ready to sail in from its place in the offing because of overburdened railway systems. The situation always would be thus if the solving of the difficulties were left to the railroads, according: to these ship by truck advocates who declare, however, that rleief is at hand. The motor truck, they say, is already on the way to the rescue of the coal consumer and will have the present trying conditions well under control in a few more years. Present effective hindrances to the normal movement of fuel will be removed by the motor truck in two ways, the ship-by-truck experts declare?first, by the use of the motor truck in hauling coal direct from the mine to the consumer; second, by relieving the railroads of short hauls in other fields so that they can give a greater portion of their facilities to the long haul coal business. An industrial consumer is located generally within the 100-mile radius I of the mine from which he buys. He 1 can efficiently operate his own fleet of motor trucks carrying from mine to factory, or by letting it be known that the business is there, he will find trucking companies t hat are eager to take the job. These companies probably could arrange for return loads in other products and thereby cut costs almost in half. With the haulage of the industrial customers taken care of by the motor truck, the railway systems will find a number of cars released to the business of hauling fuel . for heating homes in those sections distant from the j coal fields. The motor truck is already helping, the railroads indirectly in the transportation of fuel by relieving them of a large volume of short-haul general freight. Those trucks now operating in the short-haul field are being joined by others almost as rapidly as the factories can turn out motor trucks. It is predicted that it will not be long before each populous section of the United States that has the benefits of passable highways, will have its thousands of motor express and freight carriers operating from farm to city and from city to city. ..The short haul was always a sourcev of j worry to transportation experts. It i meant a vast number of railway cars i seldom moving hut most always on ! sidings waiting'to be loaded or un-J loaded, - ?-? DEFEAT OF FALL AMENDMENTS NOT REAL TEST VOTEj Washington, Oct. 3.?Defeat of, the Fall amendments to the peace j treaty may or may not meao defeat for those reservations which are the j equivalent of changes in the text! of the past itself. The decisive vote against amending directly the lan-, guage of the treaty or League of ; Nations covenant signifies an un-| willingness on the part of the senate to take the responsibility for a reopening of the whole document. JJ. I Great Britain has ratified the! treaty without amendment or resci'- j vation. France clamored for move j proof of the disarmament of (Jerri.any, but finally, Premier Clemeneeau won his point?which was that after the treaty is ratified, negotiations will be undertaken to meet the viewpoint of the opposition deputn*.-; m the French parliament. Thus fir, / * no co'igiess or parliamentary body nas shown an inclination to take r: nionsicriity for a reopening of the poace negotiations. But with the amendments defeated a Jorge number.of Republican senators and one or two Democrals would like to see reservations ma le which would qualify America's acceptance. President Wilson has that some of the proposed reserrations are nothing more than amend ;men1>, and that if the United State? ; is to adopt them, she had better sav jat the outset that she does not car: to ratify the treaty. i On the other hand, with a few exceptions, the majority of the rcaerj rations suggested would not Iirr.il A AlOifl-nfirtnc nv nmillSSOS rLIIUJUCC* VUil^MUVi?Wi 1 but utuld make clear their ex&:l inalme. The president, himself, dt |dared in one of his recent speec'-.e:? that while he saw 110 ambiguity ir | the language of the treaty, he lia< no objections to interruptions 01 reservations that explained the provisions of the treaty. Mr. Wilsor thought interpretations unnecessary but the men on Capitol Hill wouh feel safer if they could specify exact ly how America understands cer tain clauses to apply. Their idea i; to remove all doubt and prevent mis understanding in the future. J i There is, for instance, an inclinai ' tion to say that America reserve; the right to interpret what the Monroe Doctrine means. Also, in ease of a dispute between the British empire and any member of the league, it is the desire, of the senators that the self-governing colonies of the empire shall be regarded as a unit. On the wisdom of un, wisdom of these reservations there will be some debate. i CRIMSON CLOVER AND ALFALFA OFTEN FAIL, BUT SHOULD BE PLANTED There are two legumes wii.h which 'there have been many failures in th?

GET POTASH FROM FRANCE? j' There has been much discussion; lately as t;o the extent to which the United States can in future get pot- s ash from France. An authoritative j ? statement on this point is the fol- \ lowing official report from the United; l States Trades Commissioner, Arthur I H. Redfield, stationed at The Hague, ^ Netherlands: j 'v i With the cessation of Alsace-Lor-1J raine to France, Germany loses the j ^ rich potash deposits of Alsace, andj* i. with them the potash monopoly of \ the world, according to the "Vos-i sische Zeitung." The potash depos-1 a .its extends 16 kilometres (9.94; miles) to the north of Mulhouse, over a surface of more than 180 v .square kilometres (69.2 square jmiles.) They are unusually rich in j .potash salts?much richer in fact t than the beds in the interior of C-er-, many. They are, moreover, easier to exploit.
