FOREIGN trade
P0URS MILLIONS
into MEXICO

NEW YORK, July 11.-Financiers
here estimate that $1,5O0,000,0O0 has
been invested by Americans and other
foreigners in Mexican mines, oil wells,
railways, ranches, public utilities and
other enterprises.
The exact amount cannot be stated,
but this is considered a conservative
estimate. Nor is it possible to say
what proportion of foreign holdings
are American.
Without foreign capital Mexico
would be very primitive country.
The Mexicans are helpless in develop
ing their rich land themselves.
Scarcely mile of railroad, single
modern suburb, water works, we'll
equipped mine or oil we'll has been
produced without the agency of for
eign brains and foreign money.
Millions have been poured into the
mines of Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila
and Nuevo Leon; the great oil sec
tons Of Tampico and the rubber plan
tations of Tampiche and Yucatan.

MRS. GAMBLER BLAMES =
MELPoLDER FOR RELEASE

John Melpolder, secretary of the
Wayne County Social Service bureau,
said today that Mrs. Elizabeth Cand-
Ter had been asked to give up her po-
sition as assistant secretary of the
board because since the work was or
ganized there is no more need for
her work, and because more of her
time is needed as probation officer.
ut would be useless expenditure
of $50 a month" said Mr.. Melpolder,
and this money has formerly been
raised by popular subscription Mrs.
{ Gambler also holds the office of proba-
ton officer which brings her SO day
from the county every day she works.
The board felt that the probation work
needs more of her time because there
are many wayward children who need
her. attention.
Offered Office Room.
"The board has asked her to retain
her desk in the bureau headquarters
and she was not dismissed because of
her failure to perform her tasks. 1t
was simply case Of where the office
has been organized to stage where
1T does not need as many employees.
Il cannot see why Mrs. Gambler oh.
jects to giving up dollar day job
so that she can spend more of her
time at three dollar day job.
Offers Different Version.
Mrs Gambler, however, presents an
entirely different story and she visit
ed the bureau headquarters this morn
ing where she expressed her views.
The dismissed official today after
her interview with Melpolder said
that there is not enough probation
work to occupy much of her time and
that she only gets paid for the days
which she works. She says that there
is plenty of work to be done by the
bureau to require her services in ad-
dition to Re services of the other Of
ficers.
Conditions Misrepresented.
"The conditions of the poor are not
as good as they are represented to
be-" she said. For some reason Mr.
Melpolder wanted to get rid of me. He
tried to get my probation work and
even offered to do it for nothing, but
Judge Fox refused to turn me out.
There is nothing for me to do,
however, but to give up the work l
will comply with the request of the
letter which the board sent me with
out making any protest before the
board.

PRESS HEADQUARTERS, BRIT.
IsH ARMY IN FRANCE. July 10-(via
London, July 11.)-It was o midsnm-
mer afternoon with fleecy clouds.
bright sunlight and clear air, which
was al, my artillery observer could
ask, when tho British stc-med Con-
talnca.ccn CT the Somme river front,
whose possession both sides seemed
to regard as g tactical keystone in the
present situation.
Fragme nts of walls Of the old cha
teaux still standing amidst the ruins
was the last glimpse the correspond
emit had in their PREDATORY lombard
mer. before the attack.
Shells Destroy Ruins.
Fifteen inch shells from the Brit
lsh guns soon tore away this portion
D. TIE ruins from which rose cloud
OF dust Fer given area the artil-
lery fire wac the heaviest OF any yet
seen on this front.
The Germans answered the British
shelling with an immense volume OF
their own fire. placing a curtain In
front OF tho town which, at times,
bit the cloud from the British guns
eaveloping tho town and also scatter
i-g shells nol- the front line.
TIE British fire kept on increasing
ard spreading. and the Germans In an
swer extended their Smelling until the
line stretched from Trones wood, an
other hotly disputed point which had
already become a stretch OF branch
less, leafless trunks, to Orvillers and
La Boisselle. Along this new front
the artillery duel continued to rage.
Shells Reduce chateaux.
At 4:4O o'clock the British charged
there seemed to be peace in Contal-
maison. But 1t was soon surrounded
by walls of shell fire. After the Brit
ish got in and the Germans were
forced out the German guns took
their turn at hammering the ruins and
knocking off more sections OF the
walls OF the old Chateaux.
While the British were tossing the
Germans from their second lines. 1t
was raining shrapnel from the skies.
The amount of ammunition the Brit
ish is expanding Is astounding and.
as a spectacle, this afternoon eclipsed
anything the correspondent has seen
since the allied offensive began. From
one point he was able to see from the
region OF Albert to the bend OF the
Somme, in front Of Peronne. The pres
ent line Of battle Is mapped across
fields, woods. valley and hills by shell
bursts.
Balloons Were Visible.
Thirteen great allied sausage
balloons" were visible and the absence
of them on the German side, as the
result of their destruction by British
shells and aeroplanes, is held by ar
tillery observers to be big handicap.
to the Germans.
Over the French lines, speedy Nieu-
port aeroplanes, dashing past pallons
were going and coming at the rate Of
120 miles an hour, and as one British
officer said these little machines, with
their smart build and tail held high,
express the feelings Of the French" {
