WATCH FOR BALLOONS
Einel Tower Wireless Station Issues Statement Concerning Whereabouts of Contestants.

Paris, Sept. 19.-The Eiffe1 Tower wireless station sent out a request at noon today to all steamers in the eastern Atlantic, the English Channel and the Bay of Biscay to keep 8 sharp outlook for the balloons which started yesterday from Brussels in the James Gordon Bennett interna- tiona1 race. The ministry of marine also instructed all lighthouse-keepers on the Atlantic seaboard from Dun kirk to the Spanish border to be on the watch and report but thus far none of the balloons has been seen over or has landed in France. GA London dispatch today reported the landing of English balloon Banshee in Wales). The wind has been blow ing steadily from an easterly direc- ton with a tendency to haul towards the north. It has been averaging north a quarter east since the depar- ture of the balloons thus making the Department of Finistere in the vicin- ity of Brest the most probable landing place in France with the probability that some of the balloons may reach Spain.

 Shows That Conditions Are Much

London, Sept. 19.-Official investi- gation of conditions in India show that the situation is more serious than was at first believed. The mili- tary forces sent into the troubled district of the Mala.bar coast are ex- periencing difficulties owing to the mobility of the rebels and the na- ture of the country. Form ida hle hand of rebels are scattered through the hills, which, for the most part are covered with forests.
 Two thousand rebels are said 10 be massed in the Pandalur hills, northeast of Calicut, where an action is imminent and another band is en- deavoring to join these rebels. Of ficiaIs here hold that the insurgents can be starved out if the main roads are held and certain areas are garri- soned.
 A Simla dispatch to Reuters Ltd, says that at a council of state held there it was declared that the lives and property of non-Moslems were unsafe except in the vicinity of gar risons and near railways. It was said the insurgents, of whom five bodies are known to exist control certain areas and that immediate re- esta blishment of authority is inn possible.

where it is easily accessible to tide water shipping. Correspondence has already taken place between Dr. Frank, Gov. Riggs and the Depart mnt of Interior and arrangements made for the former to have access to several leasing units in the Cook Inlet country in the development of the industry. Dr. Frank also stated to Gov Riggs that he had written Assistant Secretary of Interior Alex ander Vogelsang saying that it was preferred to get results from prac- tical tests at the new factory before submitting definite proposition to the, Depa rtment, it being very diff ficult to make any offer which is based on a chemical process which runs on it's face contrary. to every accepted and established practice such as the one that has been de- veloped. pr. Frank states also,s i've believe. that in two or three months we can convince all the skcptics by pointing to real prac- tical plant. In any event, we have e,.ough confidence in the process to risk our own money and we believe that if successful, it will bring about great changes in the smelting, cok- ing and chemical industries"
 Brown coal, according to Dr. Frank, lends itself to extraction bet ter than the higher grades of lig mites. The residue becomes a finely divided coke which could be used for power plants. Ammonia gas, tar, .paraffne oil, tutuol oil, heavy lubri- cpting oils and fuel oil are all pro- duced from the brown. coal by dis tillation. 7s' .'ss
 Halted by War
 Dr. Franks investigations were started prior to the entry of the United States into the war were halted by that and he entered the service of the Government as al chemist. Since 1918 he has devoted himself to perfecting his process. He was in Alaska for several weeks last summer and has made several previous trips to the Territory study ing conditions and the brown coal fields Dr. Frank is also authority for the statement that the wild grasses along Cook Inlet are ,espec ially adapted for the manufacture of grass paper.

 pr. Frank has been studying and experimenting with Alaska brown coal for several years, and has ad- vised. Gov. Riggs that he has, by laboratory experimenting, produced a process for the utilization of this fuel which has been so successful that it was decided to build a full size commercial experimental plant for practical uses. The plant, which is now under construction in Oak land, Calf, will be capable of work ing up from 10 to 30 tons of coal per day and accordin D pr, Frank, '.Yill demonstrate Oh practical scale just what we can and what we : cannot do."
