The article discusses about the fuel scarcity during last months of the year 1917. Troubles of householders and business offices as a result of the sensational "coal famine" during the excessive cold spell of the past seven weeks were themselves of a character to create a landmark in the war-time history. Fuel scarcity is not a new thing in the history of this war. In particular, France and Italy have been in the grip of a serious coal famine in each of the two winters preceding this one. It was then ascribed to decreased production because of drafting of laborers into military service and to increased consumption by the war industries.
