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

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.

TO WHAT EXTENT CAN WE
! 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. Their thickness ranges C
from 3.7 to 5.4 metres (12.1 ot 17.7 1

The first workings were begun in
909; in 1913 there were 12 in operition.
In a period of only three years'
he production rose from 42,420 to1
587,000 metric tons, so that the pro-*
luction of potash in Alsace in 1913,
vas already one-fifth of the entire
German output. The total capital in- j
rested in the potash works of A1-!
;ace amounted to 34,400,000 marks!
($8,187,200 at normal exchange).!
rhe production of these workings, it
s calculated, would supply tho j
world's requirements of potash for1
250 years on the basis of the con-,
sumption in the last pre-war year, j
According to estimates made by Dr. j
Paul Kessler. the quantity of potash
;alts in Alsace amounts to nearly 1,500,000,000
metric tons, from which
several hundred million tons of pure
potash can be extracted.?The Progressive
