German Coal Fields as Secnrity.
There isnodoubtsayB the Phil
adelphia Inquirer, that by the
treaty of peace Germany will be
required to make restitution for
the devastation committed in
France and Belgium, and also to
pay for all the shipping; which its
submarines, have Bent to the bot
tom of the sea. Justice demands
no less, and when the damages
shall have been appraised the
amount of the indemnity to be col
lected will be stupendous.
From what sources shall it be
derived? And as the liquidation
of this liability must extend over a
term of years, what security shall
be taken for the due performance
of the obligations which Germany
must perforce assume? Those
are the questions now engaging
the attention of the Allies' states
men and it may be assumed that
in their consideration of them the
opportunities offered by the West
phalia coal fields will not be over
looked. It is not perhaps generally
known that Germany's supply of
coal is immensely greater than
that of any other European coun
try. France and Belgium to
gether have an estimated coal
supply of 28 billion tons. Austria-Hungary
has about 55 billion
tons of this indispensable min
eral, while the British mines are
computed to contain 189 billion
tons. Here is a total for the coun
tries named of 272 billion tons.
Far in excess of this figure is tne
German aggregate. TheSileaian
coal fields are estimated to con
tain 160 billion tons. There is a
like amount in the Westphalian
fields east of the Rhine, and there
are other important coal mines on
the western side of that river.
Altogether, Germany has coal in
view to the extent of about 409
billion tons, and it is to the pos
session of cheap fuel in practically
unlimited quantities that its in
dustrial expansion is in large part
attributable.
Here is an inequality which
calls for correction if the com
mercial equilibrium of Europe,
upon which the preservation of
peace is more dependent than is
eenerally understood, is to be
established, and its correction
could not be more effectively or
equitably accomplished than
through the appropriation of the
Westphalian coal fields on each
side of the Rhine as part payment
of the indemnity to be demanded.
They should be divided in just
proportions between France and
Belgium, and France should also
receive the Saarbrucken basin
with its estimated coal reserves
of nearly 60 billion tons. With
the surrender of Alsace-Lorraine
France has regained the Briey
iron district in its totality, and
the juxtaposition of the Briey jron
and the Saarbrucken coal would
be a very important industrial
advantage.
Germany cannot possibly pay
more than a small fraction of the
indemnity in cash, but it can pay
in coal and that will be an accept
able equivalent.

Avoiding (he Flu.
The influenza is not disappear
ing as fast as it was hoped. The
situation imposes upon everyone
the duty to watch himself closely
and keep away from it, and also
as far as possible not to carry it
toothers. If you have a case at
home, don't go among people who
might catch the malady. We
strongly suspect that there is
much thoughtlessness in this re
gard. If you are subject to the
flu, don't endanger other people,
even if you escape yourself. We
are told that the epidemic may
last into the winter and that is
possible if people do not exercise
greater "are than they seem to be
doing. There is more danger to
the community in carrying it than
in going where it is and getting
it. But if you get it, or think
you have, go home and stay there
till it is all over.

la Jail for Dog Tax.
Sooner than pay a license fee
of $1 for hta dog, William Shug
hart, a farmer living near Car
lisle, went to jail, declaring as
he did that "The Lord will de
liver me as he did Peter and
Paul."
Shughart, who is well to do, is
a member of a peculiar religious
sect and believes that going to
jail for his beliefs is commend
able. He was convicted in crim
inal court last week after a
short trial, in which he declared
that to pay more than 25 cent
for a dog license was unright
eous and was sentenced to pay
the costs, the fee and $25 fine,
but refused to do so and deliver
ed a sermon while waiting to be
taken to jail. He claims that
