dals In Acquiring Coal Lands.

Washington. The president on
Monday issued an order 10 the interior
department to modify its order with.
drawing from all forms OF entry large
areas of public lands in the west re.
ported by the geological survey to be
underlaid with coal. so that In future
entries upon these lands may be made
under all forms Of entry excepting as
to coal land filings. Vigilance will be
exercised in accepting proofs to deter.
mine whether the lands sought to be
acquired are more valuable for coal or
other mineral deposits than for agri
cultural purposes.
II. Il. Clark, interstate commerce
commissioner, when asked what pei
centage of coal lands in the west
had been acquired unlawfully, said
he was not prepared to say. He
thought large areas had been secured
honestly, while much lands had been
obtained by various evasiOns OF the
letter OF the law. In Wyoming he said
the government had received, as n
general rule, their just due.
while In Utah and Colorado the evi.
dence disclosed that large areas had
been taken up as state lands for agri.
cultural purposes, and later sold at
$3.50 an acre as agricultural or graz.
ing lands to railroads and big coal
companies. when In reality they were
very valuable for coal deposits.

Berlin.-Among German military

would call for immense expeditions
against natural obstacles. 1t was
