by DR.. w. n. Logan. state biologists,

under present mining conditions,
would consist of approximately 1000

about 1000, 900 tons of coal III. 1t is
possible under improved INNINGS the
report adds, to increase this reclama-

Indiana laws designate all coal and
minerals underlying the streams and
rivers of the state as the property of
the Hoosier commonwealth. There

of the department of conservation,
which has supervision over companies
removing this coal underlying the
water. Such coal owned by the state
will in all likelihood be mined by the
companies on a royalty basis. royal

the conservation commission. Even
at small price per ton, the royalties,
it can readily be seen, will net the
state considerable revenue, at the

volume of fuel at present lost to do

Several coal beds occur near the
river, but according to Mr.. Logan <

The recognition of the sovite govern

Mr.. Green was in the city of Tiflis,
Georgia, the day that the Georgian

Hascoll, head of the Near East Relief
to arise from bed and make a speech.
Saw BoIsheviki Advance
The people of Russia are practically
all pro-soviet, says Mr. Green. He was
told that the Bolsheviki troops are
more considerate of the people than
the Federal troops of the former Rus

Russia, the day the Bolshevii advance

serted their post, chartered the trains
and made every effort to escape. The
people were packed in the coaches,
many rode the roofs Of the cars and
great number walked in their bare
feet, in the snow, along the tracks to
get away from the city. Typhus broke
out and many died standing in the
cars. The majority Of the refugees,

Conditions in Armenia have not
been exaggerated in the least, said Mr..
Green. The people are wearing gunny

waiting for action from the United
States. Mr.. Green said that the Unit
