tBy Universal Service"!
LONDON, Nov. Itf.?"Tho suggestion
that a Labor government could not
find means of administering tho affairs
of tho Hritish empire is utterly un
worthy of the spirit of Kritish public ?
life." says Winston Churchill, Secre
tary of War, in an article in the Sun
day Herald. "Admirals, army officers,
diplomats and persons in civil life
would ho bound to obey. Nevertheless,
the accession to office* by the Labor
*,<artv while still organised as a class
rty and before it has acquired suf
ficient experience in responsibility. and
lias clearly thought out .1 scheme of
practical action would be an unde
niable injurv to this country. It
would involve the l.abor party its 'If
n little less than disaster.
Foundation of tioverniiiem.
The firs* and greatest difficulties
which wouM embarrass a I#abor gov
. rnment would be the immense dif
r,.nc'' between its practice and ;*.<
principles. The main foundation of
such a jj'oveninent would be the trade
unions. Tht- ordinary worker is nat
ir^'.v conservative. of strong indi
?. dualism and a sturdy patriot, but j,
he i-4 not a cosmopolitan in outlook. ,
He would be prejudiced against for
eigners. for he has nor yet forgotten
what the Gennftni did :n the j*r*r. He (

Responsibilities of l.eitdrm.
"Trade unionists are really hour- i
ueois tinctured with radii ilism. This 1
< even truer of the responsible lead
ers of the trade-union movement. The
principles .and platform of a I^ibor gov
ernment and its propaganda are amaz
ingly different from the view ot ine
average work'.ngman. ;
"If the extremists dominate they wiu
dissolve the empire should India wish
to turn out the whites and revert to
barbarism, or should Ireland demand
an independent republic. In the event i
of tluse demands, tho Uihor party
would be bound to acquiesce, unless
the extremists are repudiated."
Mr. Churchill predicts that a Labor
governnirnt nominated by the present
radicals would soon topple and fall
into the hands of the extremists, with
resulting chaos.

COAL SUPPLY ON HAND
ENOUGH FOR 10 DAYS
Country Faces Most Serious Shortage in History Unless
Miner Strike Is Settled Within Next Few
Days, Officials Claim.
CHICAGO. Nov. 16.?Unless tho coal
strike is settled and miners go back fo
work within the next ten days, the
country will he face to face with the
most serious fuel shortage in its his
tory, it was predicted today by mem
bers ot' the Central Western regional
coal committee. Since the strike was
called no coal lias been produced by
any of the big mines. output from
small producers, operated by nonunion
men. is inconsequential when the needs
of tile entire country are greatest.
"The supply is being rapidly de
pleted." raid IV .1, R??we. chairman
Western committee. "We have de
cided it is necessary to hold up de
liveries except in cases of great emer
gency."
T. W. Proctor. chairman o,f another
regional committee, said stores were
s<%nt. and that only 7.000 cars were
at Chicago terminals. His entire dis
trict had but 13,000 ears on the tracks.
"Industrial plants of the region will
be in a precarious position within i
comparatively sh<V' time." he said.
"The situation is more serious than
commonly supposed. The people will
get most of the coal from now on?
industrial plants may have to close.
The people must not be allowed to
freexe to death.
".Many big coal-mine operators do
not feel that an agreement will re
sult from the Washington conference.
A few arc optimistic, others are silent,
but most of (hem* are pessimistic."
Reports from Iowa show scores tit"
small towns are already suffering an
acute fuel famine. In some places
wood is being burn??ttr There are only
u few localities in ' the State where
coal in quantities can be secured. Corn
makes excellent fuel, and it was said'
i: might be resorted to for heating
homes. Reports show there arc

FRANCS BEING EXCHANGED
FOR AMERICAN SECURITIES
Millions I?r?tfd In Oil Stock.* and
.leiYels by Wealthy Men
in Krnnce.
f By Universal Service }
PARIS, Nov. 16.?Millions of francs
a. week are being exchanged ou the
Paris bourse for American securities,
and the government is so concerned .
at the situation, which is aiding the I
already sensational depreciation of 'he ?
paper franc, that a curb may be put '
on foreign investment.
As a last resort the bourse m3j* be
closed to foreign securities.
Immediately the franc began to fall
hundreds of men who had made their
fortunes in the. war began a rush to
unload their coin upon anything that
seemed unlikely to depreciate in value.
Millions were sunk in oil stocks ami a
line crop of after war fortunes has
resulted from the boom in trading.
American industrials. American mines.
American rails, it doesn't matter what
sort of stock it is, just as long as it
isn't Kuropean.
Jewelry stores nr> almost denuded of ,
high-priced gerns by millionaires, who
are afraid of linding themselves poor
overnight if they keep their money
in hard cash. Pictures, pearls, an
tiques are being |>urchased in un- '
heard-oC quantities. As a result. Paris
banks are beginning to look ahead to
a day soon to come when the bottoms
of their cofTers will be in sight.
All measures of the government, all
appeals to patriots to keep their money
in the country and thus help the franc ,
to rise, have been unavailing. It is ,
known thai the government despair
ing is considering regualtions to check
the flood ot" French money crossing
the water. Whether these regulations
could ever be enforced is doubtful.
A significant feature of the situation
is the startling growth and expansion
of American banktng institutions in
France. To mention only three of
these?the National City the Guaranty
Trust and the Farmers' Loan and Trust
?have all begun a policy of Kuropean
expansion, and brandies of American
banks with alert Yanks in charge are
appearing in almost every big city in
France. The American and French
methoos of banking are so radically
different that this may mean a revolu
tion in French banking customs.
Established originally for "the period
of the war," American banks in France
now announce that they ar?i here?
very much here?for the period of the
peace.

j West Virginia has helped to prevent a

in the State were producing more than
one-half of the normal output."
Approximately l?,70o coal miners in
Kansas are Idle and not a mine Is in
operation, according to reports to
night. The shortage of fuel is so
serious that many towns may l?e com

street car service lias been suspended.
, (iovcnior Allen has called a confer
ence with representatives of miners in
Kansas City, at which he will make
the proposal that the State will take
over the mini's if the men will agree
to resume work. Should the miners re
fuse the Coventor intends to go ahead
with his plan and call for volunteers.
It was estimated that about 5,000
coal miners are still on strike in the
State of Washington. The coal situa
tion in the State is not acute, as there
is coa 1 for all purposes for another
month.
A drastic oi'der promulgated by the

the use of coal in nonessential indus
tries went into effect in every city
and town in Indiana today. No miners
have returned to work since the strike
was culled and every initio in the State

of Heating Comfort
New IDEAL-Areola Radiator-Boiler
Puts IDEAL HOT WATER HEATING comfort at tow cost
in cottages, fiats, or stores, with or without cellars
The IDEAL-Areola takes the place of a parlor stove. But a
stove wastes much of its heat up the chimney, whereas the
IDEAL-Areola is water-jacketed, and conveys its heat by hot
water circulation throogh pipe-connected AMERICAN Radiators
stationed in the adjoining rooms. Every bit of the big volume of heat
developed from each pound of fuel is therefore made useful in keeping
ALL the rooms uniformly, healthfully warm. There is no coal-waste.
The IDEAL-Areola does not rust out or wear out?will outlast the
building?is a genuine, permanent investmentt
Shipped complete ready for immediate operation
The beauty of the IDZAL-Arcota method in that no cellar is needed. Everything is on
one floor. The Areola is placed in any room that has a chimney connection. No run
ning to cetlar. If there are two or more tenants in the building, each can have his own
Areola and make the temperature to suit his own needs?can make his own climate!
If you do not wish at first to heat the entire building, buy a small size IDEAL-Areola
and later on buy extra sections for the IDEAL-Areola and two or three more radiators
to warm more rooms.
Cleanly heating?healthful heating?
free from fire risks!
Unlike stoves, there are no coat-gas leaks into the living-rooms. The
IDEAL-Areola delivers the soft, radiant warmth of hot water?not the
dry, burnt-out atmosphere of stove heating. There is no fire risk to
building?no*danger to children?fire lasts for hours I The Areola burns
hard or soft coal, coke, gas, or wood. Brings cost of heating down to the
lowest notch?arid gives I IDEAL, comfort.
Catalog showing opan views of houses, individual
flats, atorea, offices, etc., with the IDEAL-Arcola
Boiler in poaition will be mailed (free). Write today
