Miss Booth thanked the Elks for the generous help accorded the Salvation Army, which recently received a check for $60,000 from the organisation "One hecret of the success of the Salvation Armj abroad lay in the fact that we were readv for any emergency," Bhc said. "There vjas littlo difference between the mud of Flanders and the Blime of the gutters In which we had worked for many years before the wnr. Our people had ministered to the sick and dying on bedsides of pain, had been present when poor tortured souls passed on in this and many other countries. Then when the war demanded our serv ices we were ready. "The transition from peace to war was easy. I know we did not have a great many people in France. Thnt was because I deliberntelj chose to keep down the size of our forces rather than send untrained officers abroad. "A war calls for skilled men nnd women.

Coal consumers have failed to buy for use during the coming Fall and Winter. 'Thus it has proved impossible to keep coal moving from the mines, and production in conse quence has badly slumped. " Available mine labor has been reduced by the departure of miners to Europe. More than forty thousand already have arranged to leave. Motive power and cars are waiting for coal transportation now. Soon the nation's great crops of grains and other products-will con gest the rails and glut the terminals. It fol lows that coal transportation, facilities will be sharply reduced and coal, deliveries will suffer.
