Viscount Grey Not
 to Return, Beleif
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre]

LONDON, Dec. 1.-The belief is growing in diplomatic circles that Wis count Grey will not return to Wash ington as British ambassador, al though there is no intimation of this officially. Speculation is beginning as to who will be the next ambassador, and Lord Readings name is mentioned frequently.
 Ii is not known whether Lord Read ing would abandon the chief justice ship for the ambassadorship, but 1t is well known that he is particularly fond of America and Americans, and there are some who believe that he would like the post.
 Viscount Grey, whose early return to England has been announced, has never formally presented his creden- tials at Washington, and it is assumed therefore, that he never turned over Lord Readings letters of recall. The possible retirement of Sir Rob- ert Borden from the premiership oi Canada recalls that during the peace conference it was reported that he might be the next ambassador to the United States This was when tn, 1 subject was discussed of whether the | British dominions, notably Canada should have separate ambassadors a Washington. There is some specula. ! ton in London that, possibly, if Pre- mier Borden's health permits, h. might be named to the important pos at Washington.

Republican A. p. Leased WlcaI

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17-Peace time industrial preparedness for war was recommended by Bernard NJ. Baruch, former chairman of the war industries board, in report to President Wilson, which was submitted today to con gress. Encouragement by the govern ment of the mining of essential war minerals, the preservation of skeleton munition plants, and the creation of a skeleton organization, similar to the war industries board, were the specific recommendations made by Mir. 'Baruch.
 The creation of a skeleton peace time war industries board. Mir. Baruch de- elafed was necessary, fin the event or an impending crisis to make it DOS sible within few days to create an organization which immediately would mobilize all of the industries of the nation and quickly make available for the government all of it's resources"
 lie proposed that the peace time or ganization be centered in the depart ment of commerce, with it's members working without salary.
 Every possible effort should be ! made Mr. Baruch said, "to develon production of manganese, chrome tungstein, dyestuffs, by-products of coal and all such raw materials usuallv imported but which can be produced in this country. Above all, immediate | and persistent effort must be made to develop production of nitrogen and its substitutes. not alone for war, but fo, agricultural purposes"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17-Attorney General Palmer will appear before the senate committee Investigating the coal situation Friday or Saturday. Chairman Frelinghuysen announced tonight.
 The attorney general, it was indi- cated, will be asked to explain the basis Of the agreement, which finally ended the strike of bituminous miners and caused the resignation of former Fuel Administrator Garfield. MT Palmer, it was said tonight at the de- partment of justice, would leave Chi cago late tonight for Washington.
 J. W. Dawson, an expert on coal production and costs, who was the only witness heard today by the sen ate committee, expressed the belief that the present wages paid miners were sufficient, and that any in crease granted them must eventually come from the public's pocket" Coal Profits Small
 Coal operators are not making big profits this year." Mr. Dawson said. and in my opinion they can not en- tirely absorb the 14 per cent increase which the government has already al- 1 lowed"
 Senator F'relinghuysen asked the witness to suggest a method of avoid | ing nationwide strikes such as that 1 just ended.
 President Wilson and Attorney | General Palmer took the best method 1 when they started out to make the miners union obey the Lever law, ano l call off the strike" Dawson replied.
 To ,-euarSad that n0GI- ton" Senator Frelinghuysen inter 1 jected.
 Unfortunately, yes" responded Dawson.
 "The United Mine Workers unioI collects annually s11,000,000 in dues, Dawson told the committee, ana ough to be held responsible for contracts.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-In his first statement of policy since assuming the portfolio or secretary of commerce Joshua w. Alexander today declared that under his administration the de- partment of commerce would follow an alert and aggressive policy in promot- ing foreign trade. Tempered with it's aggressiveness, the new secretary said. the department, however would pursue policy of fair play to Americas com petitors in the foreign trade field.
 The United States, Secretary Alex ander said, must not only exert itself Tn the foreign markets to which it is accustomed, but must push American goods in the countries where little headway has been made.
 The government should not be called upon for extension of credits to foreisn countries, MT. Alexander declared Credit, in his opinion, is a matter for the banks and private concerns to fur nish.
 l In regard to the merchant marine 1 the secretary approved the policy ot the shipping board, that the govern ment should operate it's ships unti they can be taken over by American shipping interests.

 GOAL CONSPIRACY
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Dec. r - A grand jury, summoned by Federal Judge A. B. Anderson. today began an investigation of charges of con- spiracy on the part of coal miners and operators to limit the production of coal. The charges brought by the gov ernment, allege violation of the Lever fuel control act, war time measure, and of the anti trust laws which have been in force for years.
 The grand jury this morning re- ceived instructions from Judge Ander- son to let it's conclusion be an answer to the question whether the United States government or a group of men shall rule this country, and whether we shall be governed by law or force"
 Judge Anderson referred to charges that the miners and operators, in joint conference, had reached agreements intended to wipe out competition be- tween union and non-union mines and recited that dues of the miners are held out of their pay by the operators and turned over to the union. He de- clared that the courts order for re- scinding the strike had been compiled with fin form only and instructed the | grand jury to investigate fully the 1 defiant attitude of the miners in re- fusing to heed the withdrawal order. The grand jury was in session most 1 of the day. There was nothing to in- dieate what progress had been made although it is known that witnesses called included mine operators.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

LONDON, Dec. 1.-The invention of new steel, far in advance of any high speed steel hitherto made, is ascribed by the Daily Mail today to John Oliver Arnold professor of metallurgy at Sheffield university.
