He referred to the capacity and usefulness of the vice presi dential candidate, and said his aid would be particularly helpful in keeping the president in intimate touch with affairs in the senate.. Expect Something Different. Senator Harding may be expected to do "something different" along these lines from time o time. He hesitates to push himself forward and has a keen sense of what is "becoming." He thinks a good deal in terms of the "other fellow," and has a very definite sense of the re sponsibility, which he expects will fall upon him to form a new ad ministration in which the problems of the people will be dealt with in a practical, common sense manner. The speech of acceptance which he is preparing for delivery July 22 is an illustration of his method of thought. As a newspaper editor, he lias an idea that people do not read llf!l& aiUI ICS. lit 13 i-'" to keep his speech down to the low est poirit of space, probably about 4,000 words. He has Mr. Hughes' speech of acceptance in front of him. 1; makes a tidy book? Senator Hard ing wants the people to read his speech. He intends to hit a few . ideas hard and hold the rest for ' other speeches. The. citizens of Mansfield, O., for instance, want the senator to talk on one o'r two topics when they appear here in a big delegation. The senator will save some of his am munition for this sort of gathering. The Richmond county Harding and Coolidgc club, with headquarters at Mar.sfield, will come to Marion July 31. This visit is being arranged as a big Ohio demonstration and the senator's utterances on that day will be his first important speech after his formal acceptance. Marion is preparing for the notifi-" cation day crowds. The citizens ex pect to entertain delegations all sum mer, for there is no indication that there will be any material change in the front porch plan of campaign. It has been learned that .750,000 per sons visited Canton during the Mc Kinley campign. Marion expects more than this. Special police have been appointed, the streets have been marked for traffic and food ar rangements arc being made. Maj. Gen.

By Tba Aaaoelalad Ire. Tokio, July 11. Not since the ad vent of constitutional government has Japan seen such political tur moil as that prevailing during the present sitting of the diet. The gov ernment apparently is serene in the conviction that it will have the sup port of the Seiyu-Kai, or majority party. Nevertheless, in the fierce attack which the opposition is mak ing upon it, a display of liberal and free speech has developed that ob servers believe is destined to have an important effect on the develop ment of constitutional government in Japan. Repeated allegations that the gov ernment was controlled by the mil itary, especially with regard to its Siberian policy, were followed by the sensational announcement of Yukio Ozaki, former minister of justice, who recently returned to Tokio from a visit to America and Europe, that henceforth he would abandon all parties and wage an independent fight to defeat mili tarism. M. Ozaki declared that only by the overthrow of militarism could the good repute of Japan in the world be restored to its former lustre. He said he had abandoned the Kensei-KaTbpposition party be cause his new attitude conflicted with the policy adopted by the party , several years ago, when it supported the naval extension pol icy at present in operation. Opposes Budget. "The introduction of a budget of which,, one-third is devoted to a bloated increase of armaments is the height of absurdity," M. Ozaki as serted. "Japan never will win its rightful place among the 'nations until it throws off the tyranny of the military clique. World suspi cion has turned against us because the world sees in Japan an aggres sively imperialistic and militaristic country." The climax of the attacks in the diet against the cabinet was reach ed yesterday when Representative Nagai, a youthful new member and a professor in Waseda university, declared: "The Lenine autocracy is reign ing in the west, the Hara autocracy in the east." He charged that the government, by its unconstitutional dissolution of the last diet to avoid action on universal suffrage, had invited dan creroiis thouehts of class strife. The government's action, he declared, was against the spirit ot tne con stitution granted by Emperor Mut suhito. , Annthfr member, kotaro Mochl- zuki, referred to' the anti-Japanese agitation in California.- He scored the Siberian policy and said he possessed proofs that different views were held in the war and foreign offices concerning it. While Ameri ca hadl sent only 7,000 men to help the Ciefcho-SIovaks, he asserted, Japan had dispatched a much stronger force and America had pro tested against Japans attitude. Declare Lack of Confidence. The oooosition narties introduced a resolution declaring lack of con fidence in the ministry by the house, and listing five reasons why the government should retire. The first of these was t,hat, ignoring the pop ular demand, the ministry had re fused to introduce universal suff rage. The second charged that by dissolution of the last diet the gov ernment had sacrificed the interests of state to those of party. The third With High G x for their cereal food It contains its own sugar; and its sweet nut-like flavor developed from the grains make it attractive to the taste. The cost is moderate. Every bit is eatable, and the sound building quality of Grape Nuts, combined with easy digestibility, makes it a family favorite. "There's A Reason" Made by Postum Cereal Company, Inc. - . Battle Creek, Michigan. declared that by its blundering economic policy the government had plunged the country into a financial crisis. The fourth set forth that the way the government had con ducted its foreign policy had gained the derision and contempt of the powers. The fifth claimed that the government's indefinite Siberian policy had resulted in the recent tragedy at NiRolaitvsk, Siberia, where 700 Japanese were massacred by the bolsheviki. The interpellations kept the min siters on their feet replying. Vis count Uchida, the foreign minister, said both the Japanese officials and the people of America were striving their utmost to find a solution of the Japanese questions. He praised the efforts of Roland S. Morris, the American ambassador, in this con nection. Speaking with regard to suffrage, Premier Hara said extension of the franchise was necessary, but de clared he was unable to see why the social organization should be destroyed. Picturesque Navy Figure in Britain Dies From Operation London. July 11. The British navy lost one of its most picturesque figures with the death of Baron Fisher of Kilverstone, admiral of the fleet, John Arbuthnot Fisher, who was a typical representative of the bulldog breed. His motto on his coat of arms, "Fear God and Dread Nought," was lived up to in his long career in the British navy. He was often called the father of the fleet and was responsible for the building of dreadnought battleships. After a period of retirement. Lord Fisher was called in to help with his advice during the recent war and his activities in a pressing contro versy, in which he advocated a clean sweep of old qfficials as well as obsolete ships, earned him the name of "Scrap-the-lot Fisher." Admiral Fisher had been ill some time. He underwent a surgical oper ation KrMav vniner wVnVh ,oa K 'direct cause of death. He received no anesthetic and was fully concious to the end. A memorial service will be held in Westminister Abbey Tuesday. Early Peace Between Reds And Armenians Now in Sight Xontantinople, July 11. Areme nian representatives in Constantino ple have been advised that peace will be concluded at Moscow be tween tbc bolsheviki and the Ar menians and that consular and dip lomatic relations will be resumed immediately. Leo Shanth repre sentee! Armenia in the Moscow ne gotiations and M. Karakhan acted for the bolsheviki. With the bolsheviki dominating Azerbaijan, the British evacuating Batum and bolshevik ministers in both Tizis and Erivan, speedy dom ination of the entire Caucasus 'by the bolsheviki seems inevitable.

Washington, July 11. Bituminous coal production in the United States from the first of the year to July 4, totaled 262.272.000 tons, an in crease of 44.173,000 tons 6ver the production figures for the same pe riod in 1919, the geological survey announced tonight. Production, however, has not equalled the amount mined in 1918 or 1917, in which years on July 4, 288.000,000 tons and 278,000,000 tons, respective ly, had been produced. The geological survey's figures bear out r.ecent statements at Inter state Commerce commission hear ings as to an alarming decrease in shipments via the Great Lakes .for the northwest. . Total lake shipments since the be ginning of the season the survey said, now amount to 4,130,000 tons as compared with 8,561,000 tons in 1918 and 10,053,000 tons in 1919. Shortage in New England. Boston, July 11. The most se rious steam coal crisis in its his tory confronts New England unless there is quick and effective relief, according to a report to the gover nors of the New England states to day by their representatives at a re cent conference with the Interstate Commerce commission. The rep resentatives include the lieutenant governors, public utilities commis sioners and fuel administrators of all six states. Not only New England but much of the country is suffering from the inordinate and extraordinary ex port demands and "the present plight of the northwestern states is quite as bad, and perhaps today even worse than New England," the report asserted. Problem of Transportation. Continuing, it said that although "the operators have been sending the larger part of their coal to the four corners of the earth instead of their regular customers in New England and elsewhere," the problem was eventually one of transportation. The report charged that "the Na tional Coal association has been en deavoring to aid its members to hide from Uncle Sam the tremend ous profits which they have been making in the sale of coal for both domestic and foreign purposes." , A cargo of coal afloat in Boston harbor sold last week for $23 a ton, it was stated, whereas before the war a fair price for such a cargo was $4.50 a ton. The report declared that "the word has been passed around among the coal operators that if the at torney general should show an in terest in their abnormal profits they will be in a stronger or safer legal position if they let American citi zens go without their coal and prof iteer on the foreigner." International Seamen Adopt New Provisions Genoa, July 11. All articles of the convention relating to hours of work at sea were adopted by the international seamen's conference at yesterday's plenary sitting.

A white man judge is to be sent 2,000 miles into Hudson Bay territory to impress on the Eskimo the relentless justice of the white man's law.

Don Fer nando Iglesias Caldcron, commis sioner of the new government of Mexico to the United States, lui held a second conference with Actina Secietury of State Davis at the State department at which the develop ment of the government in Mexico was discussed and the situation in Mexico with reference to the con trol of the De La llucrta authorities taken into consideration. I; was learned that the Dc La Huerta government does not look upon the sporadic revolutionary out breaks which' have followed hi the wake of the final establishment of the power which took its origin in Sonora as of a serious nature. TIu Mexican commissioner, it was stated, said that sujh occurence were re garded as inevitable in view of the chaotic condition in which the Mex ican state has existed for more than 10 years, during which time no gov ernment has been able to maintain full control throughout the country. It is understood that official Washington circles consider thrt the faction in control at present south of the F) Grande has suc ceeded thus far in exercising a greater control of Mexico's inter nal affairs than any government which has held power since the fall of Porfirio Diaz. Whether the Huerta regime will be able to main tain and increase this control and whether it will be able to hold th reasonably united support of the Mexican people remains to be seep. It is understood that authorities here regard it as highly advisable; that every opportunity should be afforded the Mexican government to demonstrate its ability1 along these lines and that no encourage ment should be given to opposition elements now making their propa ganda both in Mexico and the Unit ed States vyhich might be an obsta cle in the way of tjie present gov ernment's efforts to bring orderly administration out of Mexican tur moil.
