COAL SITUATION IN FRANCE |S
 SERIOUS
(By Associated Pressl

PARIS, March 30. - However press. ing the problem of coal may be tc France in war time, it will be even more pressing with the return of peace. Already the government is studying possible ways and means of freeing France after the war from bondage to German coal. The indus trial situation before the war was continually aggravated by the fact that France had to depend on Ger. many for so large a proportion of her supply of coal. Everybody in France hopes that some way out of a return to that condition of dependency may be found after the war.
 The situation is complicated by the French expectation that Alsace-Lor. raine again will become French. The return of these provinces would mean virtually a doubling of the nations requirements of coal, owing to the immense amounts required for the de. yelopment of the iron deposits in LOT raine. This means that instead of do. ing with about 6o.000. 900 tons of coal a year, as before the war, France will need more than 1OO,0O0,0OO tons.
 A French expert Maurice Alfassa, has just published a report showing where France must obtain her coal fl she wishes to maintain independence of Germany. He indicates three main sources. Development of the deposits of coal in France. England and the coal mines on the left bank of the Rhine, the output of which is estimat. ed at 3O,000.OOO tons yearly. This opens up the question of the future of the German territory west of the Rhine, and NJ. Alfassa suggests that in the peace treaty the left bank of the Rhine should be given a special eco homie standing, enabling France to remove some of the tariff walls which existed before the war between her. self and Germany.
 NJ. Alfassa suggests that the peace treaty ending the war should provide for the opening of the Rhine as free waterway for international trade.

F|GHT TING MEN ARE WANTED
 IN ARMY
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, March 30. - The grade of second lieutenant in the off cers' reserve corps of the army has been thrown open by Secretary Baker to men without any military experi- ence whatever provided they are phy- sically and mentally adapted to mill tary life. An urgent plea has been sent out to men between 21 and 32 eyars all over the country to send in applications for commissions, with as surances that the army will supply after enrolment, the military training necessary to fit them for duty.
 Under the national defense act, the corps should be able to furnish off cers for force of 100000 volunteers in war time, and also serve as a re- servoir from which additional officers for the regular army could be drawn at need, Less than 1000 men have been given reserve commissions In the line, despite the fact that the law has been in operation for more than eight months. Applications are com ing in slowly. and army officers are using every means in their power to attract young men to this service as patriotic duty.
 There appears to be no lack of men desiring to serve in the staff corps reserve, such as the engineer corps, the quartermasters' division and the medical service. Enough commissions In these corps have been issued to provide the special arms for a million troops. It is fighting men who are lacking, line officers who may look for service at the front in time of war Army officers believe the failure to fill up this reserve is due only to lack of information as to the requirements, for 1t is the fighting lines that are attractive to the young men in war time.

JAPAN PLEASED AT DUR BREAK
 WITH GERMANY
tBy Associated Press)

TOXIC, March 30. That the breaking off of diplomatic relations between the United States and Ger many will be a factor in promoting trade cooperation and generally bet ter relations between the United States and Japan, is the view expres- sed by Kiyoshi Nakashoji. the min ister of agriculture and commerce. Mir. Kakashoji was one of a number of bushes sand financial leaders inter- viewed by the Japanese press on the probable effects of the stand taken by America. Many divergent views were expressed, but none of them inter- viewed foresaw any economic damage to Japan in the new world situation.
 Mir. Nakashoji expressed the opinion that the break between the United States and Germany would strengthen the Anglo-Japanese alliance and that this fact, together with the new spirit of cooperation, will result in the smooth working of enterprises for the development of China.
 It is beyond doubt, the minister said, that the rupture will mean greater prosperity for Japan's trade, as the Pacific and Indian oceans will be the only sea routes in the world free of danger from enemy submarines. Mir. Nakashoji believed that the break would not have any great effect on Japan's export trade in silks. tea and other products to the United States.
