Promises Hard Fight. “We intend to force scientists to sxert themselves to the utmost to de- fend their position here. We have not vet lined up all our witnesses, but they be formidable. Our tentative list includes clergymen and educators who believe literally in the Holy Bible and are well able to defend their belief be- fore any court. We want the issug set- tled, once and for all.

Germany Sees Self Suffer Under Pres- ent Proposal BERLIN, July 22 (#).—Although the Berlin press generally is with the text of the German reply on the security question, the conservative papers are rather skeptical as to the final results, observifg that the diffi- culties have not yet been overcome. The first section of the reply deals with the allied claim that the pact rust not involve modification of the peace treaties.

PITTSBURGH MAY SECEDE. Field From Outside Control. PITTSBURGH, Pa., July 22 (®). A special subcommittee of the Pitis- burgh Chamber of Commerce, /in a re- port adopted by the organization last night and made public today, recom- mends that the miners and operators of the Pittsburgh district form inde- pendent organizations so as “to per- mit & revival of the coal industry” in the region. A committee will be named to endeavor to carry the rec- ommendations into practical effect. The subcommittee claimed that the Pittsburgh field was unable to com- pete with other flelds because the miners are bound by scales fixed by the United Mine Workers of America {and because the operators are affli- ated with the Central Competitive Field Operators of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, who “are not interested in permitting the Pittsburgh field the en- joyment of the superior advantages Which nature has given it.” i Now 90 Per Cent ldle. | The committee reported that its in- vestigation showed that the cost of producing and loading a ton of coal, {under present conditions, in this re. glon, ranged from $2.10 to $2.50, from 50 cents to $1 more than the cost in the adjacent fields of West Virginia and Kentucky.

ROME, July 22 (#).—The Impero prints a report, which other Rome newspapers say is unfounded, that the Pope suffered a slight indisposi- tion after his usual morning audiences yesterday and is being forced to take an absolute rest. ! | that time. to find the notices torn up on the streets. “It is a courtesy on the part the policemen when they give a man notice to meet them in court at a convenient time,” Mr. Eldridge con- tinued, “and if people are ignore such notice the police will have to abandon the courtesy and take the offenders to court as the vio- Jations occur.” Mr. Eldridge explained that there are cases in which the policemen have not been able to locate the individual after informations have been made out at the Traffic Court. The traffic director expressed the belief that the large number of such instances is probably due 1o motorists having moved from the addresses under which they are listed in the automo- bile license office. He pointed out that when 1925 tags were being issued last December the license office pre. pared the application blanks from the 1924 addresses already on file and| that updoubtedly hundreds of motor- ists have changed their addresses since This, he said, makes it difficult for the police to follow up and serve notice on drivers against whom papers are being filed at the courthouse. Mr. Eldridge said that when tags are issued next December effort will be made to have motorists correct mistakes in the list of ad- dresses. Police Will Aect.

Hopes to Make Statement Cruiser-Building Issue in { on | Commons Tomorrow. | By the Associated Press. LONDON, July 22.—Premier Stan-| | ley Baldwin apparently failed at to- | day’'s cabine: meeting to settle the | deadlock caused by conflicting opin- ions of cabinet ministers regarding | | the building of several new British cruisers. The cabinet session ad-| journed without, it is understood, | reaching any definite decision. Later the premier told the House of Commons that he hoped to be able | to make a statement tomorrow. \ W. C. Bridgeman, first lord of the | admiralty, and other supporters of | the admiralty’s scheme for building | several new cruisers take the view | that the safety of the country does not allow a reduction of their already | modified demands. | The treasury party. headed by | Winston Churchill. is said to be ready | to_admit there is some risk of national danger through the limiting of the shipbuilding program, but they hold that compliance with the admiralty's| tull demand would incur the still| greater risk of national bankruptcy.| Premier Baldwin is declared 1o favor this view. He is understood| to have made great efforts to per-| suade the first lord of the admiralty | to yield, but partly out of lovalty to| technical _advisers—Admiral Earl | Beatty and the otlfer sea lords—he has proved immovable. Some parliamentary writers reas- sert that if the cabinet decides for| economy the first lord of the admiral-| ty and Earl Beatty will resign im-| mediately. There is less confidence, | however, in the suggestion that Win- | ston Churchill will resign as chancel- | lor of the exchequer if the decision | h_ldvam to_his views.
