D. MacTier, Gen- | eral Manager of the C. P. R.: | It is realized In most Quarters, | some more tham others, that this country is face to face with a coal shortage of very alarming propor tions, and that by next winter, if con- ditions uncer which fuel may be obtained do not alter in the mean. time, a great many industrial con- cerns and householders will be ua- able to supply themselves with suffi- clent coal to carry them through the severs weather, . The present and prospective difficul- ties in the way of bringing coal inte} Eastern Canada may be attributed to a number of causes, principal] amongst which are dearth of mining! labor and shortage of coal carrying equipment at the mines, The situ ation in some of the mining terri tories at the present time, is that, even with the labor shortage, mine operators are able to turn out coal at a greater rate than they can ob tain cars to carry it away. fore, naturally follows, that more coal can be brought into Canada if the car supply is increased. Unfortunately, it is out of the ques A received per day of 1.68. They are ccnsigned to three organizations who have the facilities for unloading a large number of cars each day. These fifty-two cars have been out of ser- vice a total of 1029 car days. Coal cars that are not held for storage purposes as these cars are, average at least fifty miles per car per day. Had the fiftytwo cars been unloaded promptly they would have, by this 'ime, travelled 51,460 miles. The distance from the point where they are now located to the coal mining territory is approximately four hun- dred miles. It follows, therefore, that had the fifty-two cars been in active service they would have been avail able to bring into the country sixty- four carloaas, or about thirty-two hundred tons, of cos). The quantity is not very large, it is true, when the total demand is considered, but it would have kept over three hundred families warm for the winter or heat. ed the boilers in an industrial plant for some little time. Unfortunately, the case cited is not the only one of its kind. It is one of the worst at present, but there are hundreds of cars at this moment that are lying idle, waiting to be relieved of their loads, so that they may go beck to the mines for more coal. The ! lcoal dealer and consignee can do the) country au Immense service by To promptly releasing rolling stock ard helping to reduce car shortage at the flways must have coal in order to discharge their obligations to che country, and for their own preserva. well as for the benefit of their patrons, they are putting forth their utmost eiforts to minimize de- lay to cars while en route to and There is also the man who has al- ways called for open top cars for the handling of his goods because the loading and unloading with that class or equipment is more economical than in useing closed cars. When 1e insists on being supplied with cars that should be in the coal business he is helping to create a coal from the mines.

June Service throughout Ottawa, 22 Of the Na cards distributed Canada through the agency the postmasters, 1,342,- 756 were returned to the National Service Conimission with all the questions thereon answered in full, Sir Robert Borden told Willian Sinvith, of South Ontario, in the Commons. The cards only partially answered numbered 97.640, and | 108,965 cards were returned with | all the questions unanswered. In| most cases, the names of those who, sent in their cards unanswered were secured. The Prime Minister stated that 252,034 single men, between the ages of 18 and 45 years of age, had indicated that they were British subjects by birth or naturalization and apparently fit for military vice----that was to say, they had nor mal use of their eves, , feet and arms, and had not red from itlness for more than one month dur ing the twelve months preceding the filling in of the cards. The note added that the sion estimated that it had returns from S80 per cent. of the tatal number of males between the ages of 18 to years in Canada. "It must be borne in mind, how-| ever, '"'concludes the secretary of the commission, "that of the 20 per cent, who failed send in cards, the majority would likely be single men apparently fit for military duty."
