TRADEBALANCE SHOWING SIGNS
 OF SHRINKACE

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-The bal ance of trade which has been tremen- dously in favor of this country for the past five years is beginning to show signs of shrinkage although still a respectable sum. Economists look upon the gradual change as health full sign, and predict that in no other way can exchange conditions be per manently remedied. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1922, the De- partment of Commerce announces, America's foreign trade resulted in a favorable balance of $1,162,O0O, ,OOO. This is a decline of nearly two bill lion from the favorable balance of the preceding fiscal year. Exports during the year just closed totalled S3,77O,- 900 900, and imports reached the sum of $2,6OS, 100000. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1921, exports were $6,- 51S,O00,000, and imports were $3,654,- OOOOOO.

OPERATORS ACCEPT GOVERNMENT OFFER
 FOR ARBITRATION

WASHINGTON, July 18.-The bitu- minous coal operators Of the country who yesterday notified President Harding at the White House of their acceptance of his offer of government arbitration of the coal strike, were advised by the President ''to go back to your mine properties and resume operations" Alfred M. Ogle, presi- dent of the National Coal Association and chairman of the General Opera tors Group, issued a statement in which he declared that the mine own CTS would accept the suggestions of the President and in each district would attempt to reopen and operate the mines by such methods as seemed best suited to local conditions. He predicted that in the Pennsylvania field there would be some immediate resumption of coal production, but ad- mitted that more difficulty would be encountered in Illinois, where the grip which the union has on the indus try is aided by state laws requiring registration of miners.

FIRES
 AGAIN MENACE
 TOWASHINCTON

OLYMPIA, July Estate Forester Fred E. Pape, with a sheaf of tele- graphic reports on his desk contain ing forest fires advices from all over the state, announced yesterday that the situation was again rapidly ap- preaching a critical condition. AL ready in Eastern Washington, he de- clared, the fires are worse than they have been for many years. New fires are springing up every hour, and the efforts of the fire fighters to control them, although unremitting, seem to be doomed to failure, unless more promising weather conditions arrive at once. In Western Washington, improvement is noted, although the fires still are smouldering, with heavy pals of smoke over everything. If a strong wind should blow up it is feared that the whole state would soon be ablaze.
