The statement, it is understood, will be of a very explicit nature be sides making clear the meatus of the aid to be extended, that the United States has only unselfish motives and intends to stand firmly beside the Russian people in their fight for a democracy. The sending of econom ic aid also will be announced in the President's statement, but Xhe personnel of the commission prob ably will not be. No Plans FOP NOW Line Plans for the military expedition to bo conducted jointly by the United States and Japan, with flireat Britain and France, it is understood do not at this time contemplate the recon struction of the eastern front as a battle line to draw German troops from the west. The objections of the expedition, as they will be outlined in detail in President Wilson's statement, which he personally is preparing, will be to protect American interests, the in 'terests of the Russian people them selves in their fight for democracy, and for the safeguarding of vast sup plies which will be sent to Russia as part of the program of economic aid. No Word From Japan The President's statement will be /tho official announcement to the world of the decisions which have been referred to in recent neys dis patches from Tokio and London. No official announcements have been made before, it is understood, be cause the United States has been awaiting official word from Tokio of the acceptance of its proposals which are understood to differ somewhat from those advanced by Great Bri tain and France. So far as could be learned, no official communication from Japan had arrived to-day, but they have been forecast In the Asso ciated Press dispatches. President Wilson has been con ducting the negotiations practically in person, giving them almost his undivided attention. His determina tion to see a democracy preserved for the Russian people has been un altered by any of the difficulties which have made the task of finding a way to extend aid to them a most discouraging one. Aim Is to Baffle Hun The Allies and the United States are not so anxious that the Russians should fight for the Allies as they are that Germany shall not obtain such domination over any great part of what was once the Russian em pire that she can force the Russians to fight as individuals in the Ger man army. The Allies and the Unit ed States do not want Russia ,to do their will. They want to assist her to resist the German will. The President's word will be" the pledge, the guarantee, which lies be hind the military expedition which has been agreed upon as a neces sary part of the scheme for carrying out the work of economic and in dustrial commissions which will be sent into Siberia and probably into European Russia as well. State Coal Heads Find Encouraging Conditions in Conference on Output Chief Button, of the State Depart ment of Mines, and Frank Hall, deputy, were at Pittsburgh last week in conference with the bituminous in spectors regarding the coal situa tion. The trade -in the bituminous region is now unusually active. The men are receiving the highest wages ever paid to minters in the history of the coal industry and under this stimulus they are producing more coal per capita than ever before. The war has made decided inroads on their ranks in some districts and the allurement of still higher wages has taken many into other occupations. Everything considered, however* the prospect for a great production for the year is ex ceedingly bright. ' Chief Button feels assured that al though the number of workers has been reduced at least 15 per cent., the output will be increased at least 15 per cent., in which case the Produc tion for 1918 will he about 190.000.- 000 tons. Every effort Is!helnb made bv the inspectors to see that properly prepared coal is sent to the market. The department is anxious to pre vents recurrence of the experience of last winter, when coal of ™ost in ferior quality was supplied to the consumers, and the inspectors have been instructed to give every pos sible aid to the Federal Fuel Adminis trator in the efforts being made to protect the public.
