A Story Of
TheBalkans
BY DONALD CHAMBERLlN

Shortly after the assassination Of the
Austrian royalties in Seryia that
brought on the big European war
was talking with my friend Hardegan
about it and noticed that he was under
considerable emotion.
"If the subject is disagreeable to
you, Ned" / said. ''let us change it"
He made no reply for a few mo-
ments, then lowering his voice said:
"You know that my wife was born
and brought up in one OF the Balkan
states"
Il know that you have been very
secretive about your wife's past" re-
piled.
There is a reason for my secretive-
ness. The people of the Balkan states
have lived in constant state Of op-
preston by the Turks and OF late years
in dread OF being absorbed by one or
another of European sovereigns. My
wife had spent her childhood in IA
miliarity with the barbarous acts OF
the Turks and when she became a wo-
man saw her country in process OF
passing into an empire lying TO the
west"
He then told me the following story:
my wife. as you know. is called
Anna. That is not her name, but l
shall not give you her real name or tell
you where is her birthplace. When
I went abroad before settling down 20
my profession ! put aside year for
travel In Vienna / made the ac-
quaintance OF an Austrian OF promi-
hence who let me into the secret &c
Austrian intentions respecting the
provinces lying 20 the eastward Of the
empire. That summer Bosnia and
were annexed.
"From Vienna I went TO Servia and |
thence through all the Balkan states. I
In one OF them-I shall not say which, 1
met my wife. We took a desperate 4
'ancy 90 each other at once. Her fam.
ny was noble and. she being both re
sBed and intelligent. there seemed no
'eason why we should not be married

upon a refusal of the secretary of state

His Friends Apparently Ex-
pect His Renomi-
nation
VARIOUS STATES
OFFER ENDORSEMENT
President Himself Shows No
Activity in the
Matter

Washington. Sept. 3.-President Viii
sons closest friends evidently expect
him to be renominated for the presiden
cy in 1916 and are laying their plans
accordingly. The president himself
however, is taking no part in such plans
Qualification felt by the president over
congressional district of Wisconsin in
indorsing his administration was ex-
jpressed in letter from Secretary Tu-
multy. A telegram to the president an
nouncing the Endorsement stated that it
was voted Unanimously" at a mass
meeting called for the purpose of ar
ranging for the campaign of 1916" Word
that Kentucky Democrats assembled in
a state platform convention had indorsed
President Wilson for denomination 81
1915 also was welcome news at the
White House, but no formal comment
was made. Senator James, author of the
resolution adopted in Kentucky, is one
of the presidents political advisers.
Last September Secretary Tumulty
sent letter to New Jersey Democrat
ic leader, asking that no steps be taken
to indorse the president for another
term, and saying ''the president feels
that it might seem as if he were taking
advantage of the extraordinary situation
now existing to gain personal adyan-
tage through such an expression of con-
fdence"
As far as the president himself is con-
cerned lie is understood to take the same
position at present, but many of his
further efforts should be made to stop
political Endorsements which may be Of
fered.
1t is believed that from this time on
the political friends of Mr.. Wilson will
be found increasingly active in getting
for him Endorsements of Democratic
and other party organiza-
tons as they assemble. With the meet |
ing of the next national convention less |
than year away, the presidents mana
gers realize the time is near at hand
when they must frankly set the ma
.hinery in motion that will bring about

Bryan to insist upon the one
ERIN declaration of the Baltimore plat
orm. the friends of Mr.. Wilson are con-

hat Mr.. Wilson, because OF his success
n dealing with the German crisis, is
ar stronger than his party politically,

ortant opposition will be made to this
enomination. The presidents mana
ers will contend that his success in

1914 COAL PRODUCTION
Was Exceeded BY That of Only Two
Other Years

The production of coal in the United
States in 1914 was exceeded by that in
only two previous years-l9l2 and 1918
in 1914 the total production of anthra-
cite and bituminous coal amounted Ia
5l3.525,4T7 short tons, valued at $751;
490,643, according to c. E. Lesher of the
United States geological survey. In
1918. the year of greatest production,
the total was 569,9602l9 short tons.
In 1914 the value OF both bituminous
and anthracite coal decreased slightly
more than the tonnage, but the decrease
in anthracite, the more valuable output,
was slight.
The production Of anthracite in Penn
sylvania decreased from sl.7ls,6s0 long
tons (9l .524,922 short tons). valued at
sl95.lsl.l27, in 1919. to 81 ,O90.63 long
