Govt. Plans Substitutes

Washington, Aug. 29.--As a part of its campaign of education in the use of anthracite substitutes the bureau of mines made public today two re- ports by its experts on the qualities of bituminous coal, coke. briquets and other substitute fuels.
 One of the reports, submitted by o. F. Hood, chief mechanical engineer of the bureau declares that while an- thracite is probably the most desir- able solid fuel for the heating of resi- dences, it is by no means a necessity and an intelligent people can face the use of some less desirable form of fuel with equanimity."
 Must Look To Soft Coal
 The other was drawn up by Ru- dolf Kudlich, assistant chief me- chanical engineer. who after going into the whole field of substitutes, in some detail, concluded that the coun- try must look mainly to soft coal of various grades, or to coke which is made from soft coal as our real sub stitutes for anthracite.
 IT. statement summarizing the two reports. the bureau gives the pub lie this advice:
 Take it the season through from 10 to 25 per cent more bituminous coal is likely to be needed than of anthracite although with increased skill and attention the proportion might even be reversed.
 There are other substitutes that may be had locally. There is an increasing amount of good briquetted fuel available. This is handled like anthracite, requires little added atten- tion and the satisfaction resulting de- bends upon the quality of the bri- quettes.
 There is an increasing use of oil where available. This requires a con- siderable installation cost and the burning cost is usually greater, but the character of service may be very good. Heating by gas has all the ad- vantages and few disadvantages ex- cept cost. Neither of these fuels are in any large sense available on short notice as a substitute for anthracite.

All Hope of Saving Her Life Abandoned and Family, Exhausted by Long Vigil, Are Awaiting the End.
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 London, Aug. 29.--Princess Anas- tasia of Greece. formerly Mrs. Will liam B. Leeds, who has been suffering for some time from an organic intes- tinal affection, was sinking rapidly this afternoon and her doctors stated that virtually all hope had been abandoned. The last sacraments were administered by a priest of the Rus sian Orthodox church.
 Her family was hastily summoned to the bedside but the princess re- spopded to stimulants. s
 Her condition however is so great ly impoverished that the physicians say all they can do is strive to make her as comfortable as possible. There is no hope, they assert of overcom- ing the serious organic malady from which she is suffering.
 Dr. Robert Turner, the American physician who accompanied the prin- cess on her last trip to the United States, arrived in town this morning in response to an urgent summons but was unable to do anything.
 The princess is in state of coma and artificial restoratives are being employed.
 Since yesterday afternoon she has failed to recognize any of those about her.
 Prince Christopher and Anastasia's son, William B. Leeds, Jr.. who have kept almost constant vigil at the bed side throughout her ten weeks of ill., ness. are at a point of exhaustion.
 Queen Mother Olga of Greece and faithful secretary and companion, Miss Emma Parmentier have denied themselves sleep, food and rest in order to comfort their patient.
 Late this afternoon the princess breathing became more labored and her pulse became more feeble. Her relatives assembled to bid her fare well but she did not recognize any of them.
 Queen Mother Alexandra called to express the sympathy of the British royal family.
 Through the windows of the house in St. James Place Prince Christopher, husband of the dying woman could be seen weeping and burying his face in his hands.
