ASKS FOR AN EXPERT
TO FILE PROTEST
OF ALLEGED INJUSTICE.

PARIS. April 27.-Urgent instructions have
been dispatched to Ambassador Jusserand
at Washington to protest against what Is
alleged to be the injustice of the charges
of fraudulent undervaluation OF Limoges
porcelain and to request that an expert be
appointed to come to France and investigate
the prices. pending which. it Is claimed, the
present consignments which are held up In
New York should be released on the de-
post of bond to cover the duties should
the claim of differentiation be sustained.
Another deputation from Limoges was
received in audience today by Premier
Clemenceau. The delegates commended
that the porcelain held up in New York
was really overvalued. as the prices include
the commissions of the agents 10 Wnom
they are consigned.
The government here is especially en-
barrassed by the action of the United states
customs officials at this time, as 1t IS lkeiy
to increase the difficulties with Wmcn IL
may have to cope on May day. for which
occasion the socialists are preparing demon
strations throughout the country. ABOUT
15OO men employed in the porcelain IN
dustry Of Limoges will be compelled 10 re-
main out of work pending the adjustment
of the difficulties.
Tariff Complications Menacing.
An official of the foreign Office remarked
complications with the United States were
assuming a phase which threatened to dis
turb the good relations between the two
countries. New vexations in the admnistra-
tive regulations against French goods. the
official added were being put in operation
In New York. and this. together with the
public resentment at the fact that the
United States had seen fit to ignore France
in the negotiations for a tariff arrange
ment with Germany, has created demand
for reprsals which the government Is lind
ing hard to resist. The latest compIcation
comes on the hee's of the action OF the
French government In suspending the Porto
Rican coffee decree until August.
The increasingly critical nature of the Sit
uation is fully recognized by the importers
of American goods in this country. Consul
General Mason has already advised Secre-
tary Root to appoint commission. similar
to the one sent to Germany, in the hope of
reaching mutually satisfactory settlement.
Ambassador White has taken up the sub
ject and probably will recommend an identi-
cal course.

Preventing Stream Pollution.

Some of the most interesting work Of
the division has been in the stream-pollu-
ton problem. This has been taken up only
recently, but in a number of cases of
pulp mills, iron factories and distilleries
the scientists of the survey have not only
been able to work out scheme for pre-
venting the waste water from polluting
the adjacent stream, but have in each
case made the publication plant more
than pay for it's construction and main
tenance, in some cases paying very sat-
fsfactory return on the investment.
One particular case was in a dstillery
in Lynchburg, Ohio, where the refuse had
fouled the headwaters of the Little Miami
river. recovery plant was installed
that not only cleared the stream. but has
been paying profit of 100000 a year to
the distillery. Methods have been worked
out for recovering all the waste from a
number of iron works in Ohio. Indiana
and Illinois that previously were allowed
to run into the streams. Some of these
recovery plants that were established with
little cost pay a net return to the factory
of SIS day.
In the case of pulp mills whose waste
has been particularly damaging. a method
has been worked out of recovering val
liable dyes at large profit. Several very
large mills are preparing to install the
system.
These several lines of activity have
been seriously curtailed by having to cut
off the work in so many sections. but it
has been explained to the communities
filing protests that it was necessary to
discontinue the work in some places in
order to accomplish anything in Others
and the regions that have been dropped
from the work have been those where the
congressional representatives OF the peo-
pie expressed desire for it's discon-
tinuapce
