FRENCH Blame
BIG LOSSES TO
UNITED STATES
Mexican Policy Held Responsible
for Enormous Slump in Values

Paris, June 20.--T,vents in Mexico
are followed with an almost painful
interest by French investors because
hundreds of millions OF dollars IN
French money have been sent To Mex
leo. Some indication of the enormous
losses suffered by French finance on
account of the troubles in Mexico may
he found in comparing the present val
ues OF shares in Mexican banks, which
are largely held in France. Thus:
May 1910 May 1914
Nat. Bank of Mexico. ....1245 499
Bank Of London Mexico. 707 2G1
Central Mexican bank ... 5l7 go. 81
v. S. Is Held Responsible.
The principal cause for the criticisms
OF the French press of the policy fol-
lowed by the American government
toward General Huerta Is in the enor-
nous losses which French investors
have had on account of the disorder II
Mexico. The idea was accepted more
than a year ago that If the United
States should recognize Huerta h,
would be able to pacify the country
The United States is therefore held
responsible indirectly for the disap-
pearance from the French point OF
view of some hundreds of millions of
dollars in values belonging to the
French people.

Lethbridgc, Alta, June 2O.-After
recovering twenty charred bodies at
. O'Clock this morning the rescuers
were driven from their work by fire
where an explosion yesterday wrecked
the underground property and killed,
it is believed, 1917 men.
Later the rescue work was resum-
ed. \ total of ninety-five bodies had
been removed this afternoon. leaving
lO2 entombed and given up as dead
The bodies of James Quigley, mine
superintendent and Fire Boss Taylor
have been recovered. Several bodies
were found standing erect. picks in
hand, pinned to the walls by timber
and rocks indicating they had no
warning Of death.
At dusk last night n silent group of
white-faced wives and mothers stood
at the mouth of the mine, which had
been closed by the explosion, still
hopeful that the means for help that
issued from the inner workings earlier
in the day nigh be repeated and aid
the scientifically equipped experts in
their efforts at rescue.
As the night wore on, however many
of the women, their heads bowed,
turned sadly homeward, their action
expressing the general feeling that
hope was lost.
The explosion, which occurred i'm the
morning, shook the countryside for
miles around, lifted the roofs from
many miners cabins and demolished
numerous small buildings. a moment
after the explosion a score of panic
stricken surface workers rushed from
the mine, followed by a dense cloud
of smoke and poisonous fumes.
Appeals for help were dispatched
To many towns and in the meantime
residents organized an emergency
crew and turned feeble and inef-
fective hands toward the work of res
cue. When the first rescue crew ar
rived i'm the afternoon a large force of
men set about to clear the shaft, turn
ing desperately from one point to an
other as the means of the cntombed
men came feebiy from the bowels OF
the mine.

NITROGEN PRODUCTION
GOVERNMENT PROBLEM
Representative Faison Asks for Test
and Study of Electrical Proc
esses of Extraction.

Representative Faison of North Caro-
lima, in statement filed with the House
committee on agriculture, has asked for
an investigation, test and study of cleo
trical processes of getting nitrogen from
the air at high temperature. He cited
scientific predictions that the Chilean
supply of sodium nitrate, now yielding
S3O,OO0,00O annually to the Chilean gov
eminent, would be exhausted in fifty
years, and declared that it would tax
America to feed its own people in the
future as well as to provide for exports
and that the question Of foodstuffs would
continue to be the most serious in con-
nection with the high cost ofsliving
Problem for Government to Solve.
He said that a process Of extracting
nitrogen, beautifully provided by nature,
would be an important problem for the
government to solve with a view to con-
serving the welfare and life of the peo-
pie.
Representative Faison submitted that
nitrate can be made at from 50 cents to
$1.25 a ton, and that manufacturers of
saltpeter are charging $50 a ton.
Congress" he added, Ought to inter-
pose between the needs of the people and
any patent rights which would monopolize
the atmosphere and control the 10000 900
tons of nitrogen above every square mile
of earth. necessary for improvement of
land and crops"
