AMERICAN COAL MINERS NEEDED IN FRANCE
(By Wm. P. Simms, United Press Staff Correspondent)
With the British Armies in the Field, July 25 (By
Mail) Sooner or later Lens, capital of France's "Black
Country" or coal belt, will fall before the evertightening
pressure put upon it by Sir Douglass llaig. When this
day comes America can render France and her Allies no
greater service than to send immediately to this region the
experts necessary to put the coal mines in order in the
shortest possible time.
For three years France has been deprived of the richest
coal deposits she possesses. In the Loire, Burgundy
Nivernais, Gard, Blanzy, d'Aubin, Decazeville and Car
maux, it is true there are coal mines but these are not to
be comparel with those in the northern part of the county,
around Lens. This deposit runs from east to west, from
Belgium to Flechinelle, in France' and since the German
occupation it is only the extreme western end of it which
the French have been able to work. And this is the hard
est to work, being deep below the surface. Whereas in
Belgium the coal is practically on. top of the ground, at
Anzin it is 120 feet down and deeper the further west ii
runs. At Douai it is 480 feet deep; at Flechinelle about
1,800 feet. .
The vein of coal from the Belgium frontier to Flechi
nelle is about 65 miles long by 10 miles wide. Prior to
.the war of the 39 millions of tons extracted from French
soil, three-fifths came from here or about 25,000,000 tons.
Even with this, France has always been compelled to buy
from the outside almost as much coal again as she pro
duced, half of which came from Belgium from the coun
try around Mons, Charleroi and Liege, seized by Germany
as her very tirst act ot war,
It is this country, around Lens and
behind Lens to the east, which the
Prussian warlords are defending1 re
gardless of the cost in German lives.
And here it is that British pressure
is growing ever stronger. Every
blow struck this summer has yielded
a net gain in the direction of these
coal fields and a retirement any
where from Arras to the sea would be
more injurious to Germany from an
economical point of view that at any
other part of the western front.
Fighting in this country is extreme
ly difficult. On the sea where Brit
ish Tommies have recently made their
appearance, there are sand dunes
which make trenches almost impos
sible. Fighting there is like fighting
in the Sarah Desert. Further south
along the line is water, water every
where, spread out over the flat coun
try. Everybody knows what the
country about Ypres is like, and
around Messines Ridge while below
that comes La Bassee and Lens, with

feet over the level country around
about; and the "fosses" or mines,
with mining buildings cluttered about
them, all affording the best possible
obstacles from the defender's view
point, hiding fieldguns, howitzers and
especially machineguns.
Such is the country over which the
British are now fighting. If the Ger
man are beaten back out of the coal
country they will da as they have
done already at Lens: Destroy the
mines by blowing them up or flood
ing them, or hoth. But American min
ers are said to be the best to be had
and certainly the United States can do
no better than to send hundreds of
them over here to reclaim the ruins
for even if the Prussians do their
work so completely as to render the
mines useless for the remainder of
the war, reconstruction of France and
Belgium will depend largely on fuel
supply.
