been told that the Ambassador him.
self had participated in and asso-
ciated himself with these plans.
Nomura promptly replied he knew
all about the document.
Two days later I handed Nomura
at my apartment a statement Of
four basic principles which said
would have to underlie any agree
ment We reached. The four prin-
cipleS were these.
"(D Respect for the territorial
integrity and the sovereignty Of each
and all nations.
"(2) Support of the principle OF
noninterference in the internal af-
fairs of other countries.
"(3) Support of the principle Of
equality. including equality OF COM
mercial opportunity.
40 Nondisturbance of the stat
us quo in the Pacific except as the
status quo may be altered by peace
full means"
Basis for Conversations.
I said to Nomura that, with these
four points accepted, If be sub
mitted to his government the in
formal document prepared by the
individual Americans and Japanese,
and If his government approved it
and instructed him to propose it to
us, 1t would afford a basis for start
ing conversations.
Nomura duly sent to Tokyo the
document Of April 8, along with my
four points and other observations
and we sat down to await the jap
anese reply.
On May Z Nomura came again to
my apartment. He made a sug-
gestion, as coming from his govern
ment, that our two countries sign a
nonaggression pact. Without hesi-
tation I promptly brushed this
aside.
Nomura also said he had received
a telegram from Matsuoka, but there
were many things in it that "were
wrong" He asked if he might hand
1t to me. I studied q moment and
then said that, since 1t had many
things in it that were wrong, he
might just as well retain it, II he
had the authority to do so, because,
as he indicated, it would seem to
negative most or much of the docu-
ment of April 8, and hence no prog
resS could be made. Nomura ac-
cordingly kept the telegram.
Actually, we already knew the
contents Of the message. It con-
tanned statement from Matsuoka
to me that the German and italian
leaders were confident Of victory
that American participation in the
European war would merely prolong
it and bring about the destruction
Of civilization, and that Japan could
not injure the position Of her allies.
japanese Code Broken.
We knew this because of the fact
that our Navy and Army cipher ex-
perts, with remarkable ingenuity,
had broken the japanese code and
were deciphering government mes
sages from Tokyo to Washington
and other capitals, translating them
and sending them to the State De-
partment for our information.
These intercepts, bearing our code
name Magic" played little part in
our early negotiations, but were of
great Importance during the final
phases. They enabled us to know
many of the instructions the Japa-
nese Foreign Minister was sending
to Nomura and to other japanese
representatives; they gave us check
on what Nomura was reporting to
Tokyo concerning the conversations
he was holding with me, and they
showed that the japanese govern
ment was going ahead with its plans
Of conquest even while talking of
peace with us.
Nomura on May IL handed me a

Report Given On
Coal Beds of Area

The coal mining industry of Mary
land faced with the near exhaustion
of the Pittsburgh or big vein bed, will
have to depend upon the utilization
of other coal beds underlying the
Pittsburgh seam which are thinner,
more irregular and contain a greater
percentage of impurities but are
capable, upon rather intensive pre-
paratory treatment, of producing i
marketable grade of coal.
This conclusion is drawn from
"Technical Paper 7O1" written by w.
l.. Crentz and Thomas Fraser on the
reparation Characteristics Of
Maryland Goals" for the Federal
Bureau of Mines.
Mining these beds would be more
difficult and would require intensive
preparatory treatment to produce a
marketable grade of coal, they warn.
Samples tested were obtained from
16 mines from nine different coal
beds in Allegany and Garrett Coun-
ties.
The study of the lower beds was
undertaken in 1915 as part of sur
vey to determine the minable reserves
and to study the characteristics OF
these low volatile Goals in order t,
extend the life of the coal mining
industry in this area
During the survey, 26 test holes
were drilled in order to estimate the
quantity of the reserve coal beds and
the result of that survey is antic-
pated within a few months.
Nears Exhaustion
Coal has been mined in Allegany
and Garrett Counties for more than
century but until 1900, practically
all operations were in the Pittsburgh
seam. Pillar and strip mines are
rapidly removing what remains of
that valuable deposit.
BY 1914, total of 1007 $40 of the
1,875,S04 tons of coal mined in this
section came from coal measures be-
low the big vein. The scarcity of low
volatile Goals of coking quality and
the possibility of upgrading these
Goals so they could be mixed WITH
high volatile byproduct Goals is suf-
ficicnt reason for the survey, Crentz
and Fraser said.
In their summary of the report,
the authors point out that much Of
the present production from the beds
underlying the big vein deposits
comes from small mines which lacl.
provisions for mechanical preparation
and depend upon hand sorting at the
face.
The thinner beds, they added, are
high in ash and sulphur content and
during competitive periods the outpu,
of such mines is restricted to local
use.
While conventional washing
methods might not be effective with
some types other beds can be i'm
proved materially by washing.
Some data on the Goals of the Cas-
selman basin Indicate more favorable
preparation characteristics than beds
in the Georges Greek and Upper Po-
tomac basins, but the authors pointed
out the evidence was not conclusive.

Hornsby Predicts
HurIers' Battles
And Low Scores
By Rogers Hornsby
As Told TO John ?. Carmichael.

! BOSTON, Oct 6-This is very apt
to be a pitchers series. which means
low-scoring games. That, in turn.
means that botn managers may have
to use the sacrifice much earlier in
the game than they'd like to. Two
or three runs can settle any game
and neither club can afford to waste
an opportunity to move runner
into scoring position.
I've seldom seen young pitcher
going into any series with the break
! ing stuff that Gene Bearden has
Against the Red Sox he was throw
Il ing a left-handed knuckle ball and
a type of screWball which broke right
under Boston bats. 1t made them
look like they were swinging at bad
balls (which actually they wereb. but
to the batters they looked like strikes
coming in there.
So the Braves are bound to be up
against tough pitching every time
they take the field, since it Is likely
that Bearden will work the first
game of the stand in Cleveland
Friday.
The Braves are bound to be
handicapped by the loss of JEFF
Heath. He's a strong left-handed
hitter in a park where the fence
! favors southpaw batters. Then, too.
ne would have been swinging against
two right-handed pitchers under tie
most favorable circumstances. The
Braves are deprived of their best
explosive punch. 1t is just as II the
Indians were playing without Joe
Gordon or Ken Keltner.

BOSTON, Oct. 6.-Only a short
while back, last Friday to be exact,
the Cleveland Indians were leading
the American League pennant race
by two games, and went into the
ninth inning of their contest with
the Detroit Tigers out in front,
to 2, but came out of the short
end, to 3, with the flre-baller

Tigers twirling the Tribe into de-

Cleveland, the American League
representative to battle our Boston
Braves in the World Series, couldn
have looked so good that day. Then
on Sunday. with still lead of one
game in their possession over the
Boston Red Sox and New York
Yankees. the Indians needed but
one victory against Detroit to
clinch the pennant.
Harold Newhouser, for whom
have a lot of respect, was on the
mound for the Tigers. and the bril-
liant Detroit. lefthander gave a
very thorough demonstration of
mound mastery by throwing back
the Indians by the score of II to /,
while the Boston Red SoX were
defea ting the Yankees to cause the
first deadlock for first place in
American League history.
This dead heat for the American
League pennant made it possible
for all of the Boston Braves to see
the Cleveland Indians in action in
the playoff game here in Boston.
Regardless of how the Cleveland
club might have looked in the two
losses against O'Neill's Tigers its
players certainly impressed me ia
vorably with their powerful attack
in the sudden-death playoff.
