close watch made on his movements.
Saturday he moved trunk to

(By Associated Press.)

Manchester, England, July 26.--An
interesting feature of the wartime de-
mand for coal is that 1t has brought
about the reopening of hundreds of
derelict mines In the remote valleys
of the Pennine Range, long line of
hills that stretches from the vicinity
of Manchester straight north to the
Scottish border The entire region
lies above immense fields of coal, but
difficulties of transportation and lack
of capital have heretofore prevented
any extensive development.
As the great coal districts of South
ern Lancashire and Yorkshire become
depleted, more attention must be paid
to these upland deposits and the prob
lem of reaching them with transporta-
tion facilities must be met At present
there is no railway which reaches
within twenty miles of the most ac-
cessible fields.
Wartime prices, however, have turn
ed attention to these old mines, and

She might have to be met at sea with

would be so near the American coast
that that would not be difficult.
Though the secrecy with which
the naval authorities are working
makes it impossible to gain full and
