Production cost figures gathered By
the federal trade commission from l,5sS
bitumtnous coal operators in the prin-
cilal production mining region roughly
about 10 per cen: Of the annual outpdt.
show that during January, 1920, their
costs per tor average $232 at the mine.
Since then there has been an advance

is borne out by information in letters

prices in May did not greatly exceeo
those furnished 10 the federal trade com'
mission for January.
This situation demands the prompf

I called at the American embassy to-
day to discuss with Ambassador Davis
the political situation in the United
States and particularly the report that
Colonel Edward NJ. House is coming TO
Europe for the. express purpose OF con-
sulting the ambassador about the Demo.
cratic nomination for the Presidency.
Mr. Davis described the reports about
Colonel Houses mission laughingly az

ceived letter from Mr.. House some
time ago saying he was coming over
merely for holiday.
Discussing the League Of Nations.
which he has supported consistently.
the ambassador said he felt II was do
ing as much as II could under the condi-
tons imposed on It. He believed. how.
ever. that the United States congress-
should make some reservations In rati-
flying the treaty. This fact was first
brought out in a speech which Mr.. Davis
made at oxford recently on the treaty

Ia ton extended to him several weeks
ago by the West Virginia delegation TO

his mail has been deluged with letters
encouraging him to accept the nomtn2-
tion and promising support for him.
Friends OF the ambassador say that he
has replied 70 all such suggestions that

should refuse the nomination II 1t were

throughout the country with only few

With all these judicial decisions up
