j. 5. N WAR
WITH JAPAN

Dallas. Tex, July s.--Congressman Qor-
mer navy captain) Hobson OF Alabama
believes thcre will be war soon between
the United States and Japan. In an in
terview today Mr.. Hobson said:
War between Japan and the United
States is inevitable. Japan is only wait
ing for a pretext on which TO make a dec
laration of war That declaration may
come at any moment
Our navy Is Inadequate to meet such
an emergency. More battleships should
be built at once. Even now IL may be too
late to avert a disastrous sea collision
with the Japanese navy because OF the
disparity OF fighting strength in the Far
East. but that should not deter our gov
ernment from maintaining a firm attitude
and from proceeding at once TO add two
more strong fleets to our naval establish
ment in the quickest time possible.
II fear that the action OF the United
States government In ordering the Allan
tic fleet TO the Pacific waters will be
taken advantage of by Japan as a pretext
for precipitating n war with this country.
This government should proceed at the
opening OF the next session Of congress to
provide for building the strongest navy OF
any nation on the earth"

ANTHRACITE IS

Washington. July Sat our present

anthracite coal left In rs years." says
Edward w. Parker. the coal expert OF
the United States geological survey.
Hard coal will never be cheaper 10 con-
sumers than II IS now. The production OF
anthracite In 1906 was 63. $500 tons. Ac-
cording 10 one coal expert theanthracite
available for mining in 1901 was 4.765,-

From these figures evidently there
is not enough anthracite coal in the
country Tor power purposes I'm the large
cities OF the East" said Dwight T. Ran

ment, geological survey. "In 1906 New
York city burned 100000 tons OF anthra-
cite coal and 100000 tons OF butuminous
This ratio has already changed and will
continue until mituminous coal is In the
ascendency. II is estimated that New
York and Philadelphia are now using
one-hfth OF the total yearly production
or anthracite. Thus II is seen that we
must conserve the hard coal If we wish

The insistence OF Eastern cities that
manufacturers and others shall continue
the use of anthracite coal instead of
bituminous, In order to lessen the smoke
nuisance, Is losing game. according
TO government experts. In spite of
themselves the large municipalities that
have heretofore so largely used anthra-
cite coal will soon have to come to the
almost universal use OF btumnous, for
the United States has already reached
the maximum OF its yearly hard coal
output, and from this time on the
