GUN POWDER OF
GUM MIGHT help
IN PRODUCTION
Australian Visitors Have Sug.
geStion That Would Help
g.. Out on Munitions

Australian gum for American gun
powder may be the latest in explo-
siyes in the United States.
Samuel Rawsley, ST., and Samuel
Rawsley, Jr., OF Auckland, New Tea,
land, came in Tuesday on the Manoa.
They left yesterday on the Niagara.
I'VE find most interesting yaca-
tion circle by starting from New Zea-
land, stopping at the Cooke Islands,
tarrying at the Tahiti Islands, then
taking in San Francisco and stopping
on the way back at Honolulu and the
Fiji Islands," said the visitors yester-
day. The trip will have taken them
exactly two months. -. II .
Mr. Rawsley, ST., did a large bust
ness with the German government be-
fore the war started and was in Ger
many himself at that time. making an
extensive tour Of the factories.
1.-The Germans we're very courteous
to me-" said Mr. Rawsley, and
assisted me in leaving the country
without any inconvenience. They
were buying a large part Of our prod
uct before the war"
The Rawsley firm handles gum
which is found in the ground in New
Zealand and which is used chiefly for
linoleums and varnishes. It originally
came from trees, probably one to two
thousand years ago.
1t is in Australia, however, that the
aechrodes gum is found which is now
used extensively for making gun
powder for the British government.
Germany would buy it If she could
and had been using most of 1t before
the war. Now, Mr.. Rawsley says, a
New York concern intends to buy
large Quantities for explosives.
Mr.. Rawsley has buyers of his goods
in many countries and has looped the
earth several times. The United States
is one of the largest buyers and took
100000 worth in 1914 The produc-
ton of the gum has now dropped to
about one-half Mr.. Rawsley says this
is chiefly because so many New .Zea-
land workmen have Joined the colors
and because the war has generally up
set many industries. ~.

sentative and has ordered him not to
accept, any proposal which Gen. Scott
presents. This makes. his negotia-
ticns impossible. At the same time,
Carranza himself eifcuiates the most
irrational rumors throughout Mexico
saying that Gen. Obtegon is trying to
accept all the American proposals
without caring for the glory of his
country and harmony with the Amer
lean people. These reports may not
be correct entirely, nut with Mexico's
usual practise m political affair, they
are not strange. "
Gen. Obregon is one of the most in
huential persons in Mexico and may
be the most powerful Political enemy
of President CarranZa in the future.
Therefore, it is good opportunity for
Carranza to misrepresent his future
political enemy for his own protec-
ton II
The president o. Mexico is now
trifling with Americans. He knew the
American. troops are almost helpless
in Mexico; he learned that the tactics
are not skflful in pursuit of the fleeing
armies of Gen. Villa He knew the
real value of the American troops.
Therefore, he does not bother much
about the Americana Mexican question.
He is simply trying to utilize that
great anti-American feeling in his
country against his political enemy,
Gen. Obregon, who is his own repre-
sentative in this question.
1t may be wise policy for the Unit
ed States to grant the request of Pre-
sident Carranza, withdraw the troops
from Mexico, and automatically pre-
vent future conflict between Carranza
and Obregon, otherwise Mexico will
fall into farther disorder.

LONDON, Eng, May 1S.-Advices
from the italian battlefront tell of
bloody and desperate fighting along
the lsonzo. both sides claiming to
have made advances. II.
The Teutonic offensive began with
a tremendous artillery preparation ex-
tending from the lines east of the Tor
male Pass in the Alps. as far south as
Monfalccne. Near Tysol the Austrian
infantry, by surprise attack, drove
the Italians out of their hillside posi-
tons n.
At Zegnatorta, according to Vienna,
the fighting was desperate and sue
cessful. Rome admits the character
of the battle, but describes 1t as an
Italian success. The Italian official
statement says that the Teutons at
tackled five times, and each time were
compelled to fall back under the fire
of the Roman guns, leaving a great
number of their men behind them.
The account winds up by saying that
many dead Austrians were observed
to be floating down the Cadige river
to the sea-"
The Alstrians. practically admit that
they have failed to move the Italians
at Sugana, where a half dozen hot
attacks were made and repulsed. The
artillery IN that sector continues with
great violence.
