COAL ADVANCE AT MINES UP 10 S1.25 PER TON FORECAST Price for April Delivery AL ready Rapidly Ris-
 ing SAY WILSON AWARD
 IS CAUSE OF RISE Workers Only Comment is That Wage Pact Means Ave 25
 Cents Per 4

New York, March 30--Action of President Wilson's coal commission in granting bituminous mine work CTS q wage increase % 27 per cent means the price of coal at the mines will advance 65 cents to Sl.25 q ton, bituminous coal operators an nounced today.
 While asserting they desired to keep the price of coal as low as pos sible and to avoid speculation in the product of their mines, mine own CTS cited Illinois as the only state where the minimum increase would apply. That was said to be due to local conditions, which lessen prod uction cost. Since removal of bitu- minous coal price restrictions by the president some operators, it was stated, already had sold much coal for April delivery at from $3.50 to $4 a ton. The government price of $2 95 is effective, however, to April 1. Operators in some districts, it was said, have received as much as $4.75 q ton in instances where big purchasers went into the fields and engaged in competitive bidding.
 The mine workers representative refused to make any comment on the proposed increases, except to state that the new wage agreement would only 'involve 25 cents q ton average increased eXpense.'
 The new wage agreement. embody- ing the award of President Wilson's bituminous coal commission proba- bly, will be ratified tomorrow by the operators and mine workers of the central competitive field, according to statements made tonight by mem bers of the subcommittee in making the negotiations.
 The committee today appointed special contract committee to draw up tentative contract. They will report back to the subcommittee to- morrow. When approved by the sub committee the new agreement will be presented to joint conference of the scale committee of the min CTS and operators for ratification.
 Before going into conference with the mine workers to consider q new wage agreement, it was learned today mine owners sought the ad- vice of Attorney General Palmer as to whether such meeting would be violation of the law, fearing a repetition of the Indianapolis indict- ments for conspiracy to boost coal prices.

ACTIVE FLEET WAS
 READY WHEN WAR
 BEGAN, SAYS MAYO
Entire Navy Was Not Pre- pared, Admiral De-
 clares

Washington, March 30.--Faulty or ganization in the navy department and "absence of definite foreign pol icy, except that of strict neutrality. operated to precent preparation of the entire navy for the war, Rear Admiral Mayo, commander of the At lantic fleet during the world war, de- clared today before the senate naval Investigating committee.
 The active fleet itself, however, was never better prepared, he said, than when war was declared.
 Admiral Mayo, Rear Admiral Sims immediate superior, technically at least, during the war, took issue with some of the statements made by that officer in his indictment of the de- .partment's conduct of the war. To the charge that no adequate plan for cooperation with allied navies had been made in advance he answered that the office of chief of operations had been created only in 1915 and was not comprehensive enough to ob- tain the best possible results; but that without it. conditions would have been chaotic"
 Admiral Mayo did not agree with Admiral Sims contention that every available destroyer and anti-subma- rine craft should have been sent abroad when war was declared. He said that it was imperative that some destroyers be kept with the Atlantic fleet.
 DN1inU
 Pointing out the necessity for a sharply defined foreign policy, Ad- miral Mayo said the armed forces of a nation were merely the instruments to support national policies. The navy department, he argues, was re- sponsible for the efficiency of the service only to the extent of con gressional provisions and he added that it took more than year or two to build up a navy adequate to a great emergency.
 "The differences of opinion as to what constitutes an adequate navy can be traced to our lack of definite foreign oplicy," he said. "The rem edy for this condition lies outside the navy department, but it is vital to the question at issue"
 The organization of the navy de- partment before and during the wal and now is unsatisfactory, Admiral Mayo said, "So long as the present organization exists" he continued "the maximum efficiency cannot be attained. In the present organiza. tion responsibility for the readiness of the navy for war cannot be placed anywhere but with the secretary o1 the navy who must coordinate thir' teen officers, boards and bureaus.'

American Note.

The text of the American note to Turkey follows:
 q have the honor to acknowiedees receipt of your excellency's note of March 12, relative to the confer ence, retarding the peace treaty with Turkey and the present status of the negotiations between the princi- pal allied powers, and reply to ln-s form you that the president does not deem it advisable in the present cir cumstances that the United States be represented by a plenipotentiary at the conference. The presidenv feels, however, that as this govern ment is vitally interested in the fu- ture peace of the world, 1t should frankly express its views on the pro posed solutions of the difficult ques- tions connected with the Turkish treaty. While it is true that the United States of America was not atl war with Turkey, yet it was at war with the principal allies of the coun- try and contributed to the defeat CT those allies therefore, to the defeat of the Turkish government. TOT that reason, too, it believes that it is the duty of this government to- make known it's views and urge solution which will be just and per- manent.
 aIt was the expressed intention of the allieA that the anomally of the Turks in Europe should cease, and its cannot be believed that the feeling4. of the Mohammedan people who n01| only witnessed the defeat Of thN Turkish power without protest, RY even materially assisted in the feat, will not so resent the expuiss3 x of the Turkish government as make complete reversal or potA
