In l77l, there lived in the forest near
Saarbrucken, in Germany, a chem,s:
named Stauf. He was an eccentric old
man who had an idea, far ahead of his
times, that many things beside coke
could be obtained In the combustion OF
bituminous coal.
Stauf had constructed a number of
ovens over burning mine and treated
coal so that he obtained oil, pitch, coke
and SCOT. That was quite forward
step and although he lived in the
depths OF a forest the great minds of
Europe heard Of his work In fact,
Goethe, himself made pilgrimage to
the ovens of the far-seeing chemist
and in his autobiography wrote strik-
ing comment on his visit to the Saar-
brucken forest:
Ready and glad to pour his COM
plants into human ear, the lean
decrepit, little man, with shoe on
one foot and a slipper on the other,
and with stockings hanging down and
repeatedly pulled up in vain, dragged
himself up the mountain to where
the pitch house stood which he had
built himself and saw with grief now
falling into ruins. Here was found q
connected row of ovens in which Goa
was to be freed from sulphur and
made fit fer use in the iron works
but at the same time they wished also
to recover the oil and pitch, and in
deed, did not want to lose the larnl

proposal for an agreement between

replace the Anglo-Japanese alliance
has been cabled to London as Well as
to Tokyo as result Of the meetings
Of the arms conferences "big three
America. Great Britain and Japan.
Official confirmation Of the report that
the suggestion for a new international
concert had taken definite form was
given BY the British. Details were
not revealed, but an authorized Brit
ish spokesman said that certain sug-
gestions were formulated and teie-
graphed to London after the confer
ence last week between Charles Evans
Hughes, Arthur J. Balfour and Admi-
raj Tomosaburo Kato. The British
Spokesman added that it might fairly
be inferred that, II these proposals
should find general acceptance, they
would have the effect Of terminating
the Anglo-Japanese alliance, for which
there would be no further use. Reso-
lutions insuring the territorial lntes-
rity Of China and providing for use
Of wireless stations in China were
adopted unanimously by the nine
powers committee on Pacific and Far
Eastern questions.
Washington, Dec. 8-China prac'
tically has bolted the armament con
ference, charging America and Great
Britain with backing the claims OF
Japan.

signed and it became known thirty
