WASHINGTON, JUNE 14-Japan is
sending a diplomatic mission to the
United States in regard to the war,
leaving July 1, it is officially stated
here.
The relation between the United
States and Japan have been upset
and delicate over a misunderstanding
concerning the purpose of America in
China, but this has been Strengthened
out satisfactorily through explanations
sent through the American embassy
in Toxic. An investigation has been
started to ascertain the source of bo-
gus note cabled from New York to
Toxic, which aroused resentment in
Japan.
The bogus note made the United
States say that the Chinese revolution
should be quelled because Germany
and Russia were about to make a sep
arate peace, and that Japan intended
to send troops into Manchuria. The
true note expressed the hope that the
internal troubles of China would soon
be settled.
Japan took exception to what was
considered interference with China
without consulting Japan, although
the United States was not urder Obli-
/ cations to make such consult, 4ion.

COAL COST FIGURES
 WILL SOON BE MADE : PUBLIC BY BOARD
Investigation by Federal Trade Commission Is Ex- pected to Be Finished in
 About Two Weeks

Washington, July 5.-Investigation of bituminous coal production costs, undertaken by the federal trade com mission for the purpose of finding q price basis for government coal pur- chases, will be completed. it was said today. in about two weeks
 The trade commission has no power to fix prices and will turn over it's figures to government departments that use coal for such use as can be made of them
 Meanwhile the maximum price of $3 ton for coal at the mines, set by operators at a recent conference here with government officials, will stand in purchases by the general public Much coal. 1t was learned today, Is be- ing sold at that figure and some at lower prices.
 One of the eastern railroad systems, 1t is said, has just closed a contract for 6,0o0,000 tons at s2S5 Another road which has paid as high as s10 is purchasing large amounts at 8.
 If the trade commissions investi- gation shows low cost of produc- tion strong efforts will be made, it was said today, to lower the s3 price to the general public. Many officials believe that control of coal by the government, proposed in the admin istration food bill, will give the gov ernment power to force prices down to the public if s3 is found to be too high a figure

RUSS GOVERNMENT GIVEN CONFIDENCE
 VOTE BY COUNCIL

 Regime in Petrograd

Petrograd, July 5.-A vote of confidence in the government was adopted unani- mously by the council of soldiers and workmen's deputies on the occasion of the raid by government forces on the villa of the former Minister Duronovo which since the revolution had been the head quarters of anarchists.
 The report of the executive committee emphasized the fact that the revolution ary clements had nothing in common with the men who occupied the Duronovo villa.
 Petrograd, July 5.-The Russian people will fulfill their task of establishing 8 republic. in the opinion of Charles Ed ward Russell, member of the American mission to Russia Mir. Russell today issued the following statement on the ob- servations he has made here since his arrival some weeks ago:
 T venture to appeal to my fellow dem ocrats in the United States and Great Britain for a more sympathetic attitude toward the struggling democracy of Rus sia- appeal to editors not to print wild eyed stories of impending ruin and chaos and to newspaper readers not to believe such stories if printed
 There is no anarchy here. There IS only limited amount of disorder. The people of Russia, under the most trying conditions in history. have given an ex- ample of dignity and self-restraint
 "It is well to face the facts frankly, but 1t also Is well to look beyond sur face conditions to the true basis of Rus- sIan development Every phase of the present situation is logical and normal outcome of natural causes. The substance is sound and hopeful if only other democ- raeies give help whole e-heartedly instead of standing by to prophecy destruction
 These people know their job and will do 1t I suggest it is about time to do away with all criticism and give them a chance"
