Thi u, Many Millions Short WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb. 19. Decrease of mure than two hundred million tone in the worlds production of coal in 1921, compared with the output in 1920, was noted in a statement on mining activities issued today hy the United States geological survey. From rejMirta so far received, the statement Baid, the total world output of eoal last year was 1,100,000 metric tons, with France and Germany (lie only nations showing an increased production. The chief factors in the lessened output in other countries, it was said, were the strike by British miners and a worldwide industrial depression. Progress in restoring the ruined mines in France was seen in the steady increase in output of t last three years. German production of bituminous eoal, the statement continued, was still far below the pre-wlevel, although an increase was affect ed in 1921 as against 1920. 13 tak--a I with isa bilit I in b! tatof local Pn ;o tot the M as ipitt h hu rbc fctive SI 0,00 &1 Impt tha Your money cheerfully refunded on any goods that are unsatisfactory. 83c $1,037,093.
