COAL FAMINE
now AVERTED,
Production for Week End
ing October 9 Totaled
l2,075,000 Tons.

The prospect Of a soft coal short
age was dissipsted by the National
Coal Association yesterday. which
used the United States Geological
Survey report Of i2.o75.0Oo tons pro-
duction for the week ending October
9. as the text for it's optimistic pre-
diction.
Cooperation OF the railroads, the
operators say. has enabled them TO
reach a peak production that will
adequately care for the needs Of all
sections Of the country. The week
ly output Of coal has been rising
steadily in the past month from an
average Of lO.5OO.0OO tons TO the
present point and coal men believe
that there is a chance that produc-
tion will be increased even beyond
the present figure.
With the achievement OF the H.
75.OOO-ton output a week, the en-
tire soft coal situation has eased up
spprecisbly," says a statement is-
sued by the National Coal Associs-
tion.
Acute shortages in immediate sup
ply in the Middle West and in other
parts OF the country are now being
met in such a way as definitely TO
indicate that the worst OF the soft
coal stringency is over.
Quick results have obtained in re-
lieving the household situation in
Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Eastern
Tennessee. Eastern Kentucky and
Western Pennsylvania where, up 70
ten days ago, much concern had
been felt over immediate supply.
Working under the new program,
calling for 2,1OO cars q day. or lO5.-
600 tons Of soft coal, the railroads
are now shipping coal to MI emer-
gency wants in those States.
Plenty Of Cars.
Reports OF the National Coal As
sociatiOn show that Chicago. ST
Louis and distributing points along
the Mississippi and Missouri vsIIies
are now getting sufficient soft coal
shipments for immediate wants. The
railroads will have no difficulty. they
say. in keeping up the supply OF

By b. w. FLEISHER.

Tokyo, Oct. 17.-Gen. Tanaka, Jap
anese minister of war and the most
powerful factor in the present gov
ernment, has given an exclusive In
teryiew on Far Eastern affairs to
your correspondent. during which he
said: "In, Siberia the different gov
ernments east OF Lake Baikal are
now ready TO cooperate with one
another. The central powers will be
located at Chita. These govern
ments do not represent Bolshevist
principles but are so social democra-
cies.
The only question remaining to
be solved is the position of Gen.
Semenov. Reports today Indicate
that a settlement will be reached
which will permit the saving OF
Semenov's honor, without impairing
his military power. Gen. Semenov.
himself, is taking a broader view of
the situation and I believe is con
sidering such a proposal.
Want Self-Determination
Since spring Japan has peen
working to have the various Sibc 9.
rian governments settle among
themselves their own questions and
cooperate together. I believe the
withdrawal of the Japanese army
from Habarovsk has done much to
the settlement of this ndamentai
question"
asked how long the Japanese
army would continue to remain in
any portion of Siberia, Gen. Tan
aka replied: Until the personal
safety and the protection of prop
erty of Japanese subjects has been
assured. There is always the dan
ger of the Soviet extending its
propaganda and power and putting
into practice communistic princi-
plies. II all our army should be
withdrawn the Korean border would
be open to outrages similar to those
which have REQUIRED in Hun Chun
(Manchurla). They may happer any
where. That is the reason we were
obliged to send an army of pro-
lection"
Disclaims Retribution Plan.
The general was asked regarding
the situation in Hun Chun and ia
pans intentions in that territory
such as the possibility of occupa-
tiOn as a measure of retribution.
Il can state positively that there
Is no intention OIL occupying per-
manently any of this territory.
either as retribution or otherwise" ="
he continued.
Our only purpose is to drive our
,agitators and to pacify the people.
This actually should be the duty or
lthe Chinese government, but China
has done nothing in this respect
In fact, Chinese soldiers have been
found among the ngitators. There
was every desire to avoid infrinE-
{ ing Chinas sovereignty, but we had
to send an army to protect our
selves.
Seek No Territory.
The minister of war concluded by
saying: In this there will be no
attempt on the part Of Japan to
take over any territory. either
Chinese or Russian. It is a neces-
sary measure for peace not only
for that district hut for the coun-
tries adjoining"

Paris, Oct. l7.-The announcement

much comment in France that can

A savant in the encourage of Ca

Sir William Crookes, Able Moreux

THE invention of Edison will not
be likely to convert the skeptics or
diminish the numbers OF those who
believe that the soul lives after the
body dies. Each will probably cling
to his position with rare exceptions
like Cesare Lombroso, who began by
denying the value of all his expo

WINGED that. the soul f1oats in a ma.

der certain conditions and continues
to belong to the world of matter"
The humorists all express belief Ip

any better than THE sacred tele.

the cause of more sulphurous pro-
family than anything else in our
world. One wit expresses his best
wishes to Edison and hopes he will
achieve success quickly so that cer-
tain of those who are still with us
but are getting on in years, can ar
range to put in early service calls
once they arrive on the other side.

lair of Georges Carpenter and def
him to battle. Frank Bagley, who
manages Tunney. is willing to guar
antee the French champion $4,000

percentage.
All Bagley asks of Georges is to
meet the West Side star. If Car
pentier listens to the persuasion OF
Bagley the battle will be staged
in Que of our clubs and for fifteen
rounds to a decision.
Tunney and Bagley saw Carpen-
tier knock out Levinsky in Jersey

forth the challenge. Neither of
these men hesitates to say that the
fight was a real true affair
They pay Carpenter the compli-
ment of saying he's a real good
fighter. But they modestly add,
''Tunney will take him" "Carpen-
tier is a real good fighter" con-
cluded Bagley, but Tunney is a
better one. Therefore I'm going to
try to get him to meet Tunney."
