PAPER FROM COTTON STALKS
German Testing office Claims Inter.
esting Discovery-Would Be Boon
To the United States.

Berlin.-The royal material testing
office at Gross-Lichterfelde a suburb
Of Berlin, announces the interesting
discovery that paper can be manufac.
tured from cotton stalks.
The discovery is not considered Of
much importance for Germany, which
produces no cotton, but is pointed as
of vast Importance to the United
States, the greatest producer of cot.
ton in the world, because of the short
age Of paper reported in that coun
try.
The discovery was made, It Is stat.
ed, by a German Institution while car.
rying out commission from an Egyp.
tian firm, given before the war A
shipment of stalks which had arrived
from Egypt before the opening of hos
tilities was used for the experiment
The stalks were cut and ground
boiled and bleached, and the paper
making then proceeded after the usual
methods. The result causes the test
ing office to arrive at the decision
that cotton stalks are a good material
for making paper.

Proposal For Enlarelng Subjects.

Washington.-Gen. Carranzas reply
to the last American note accepting
his suggestion for a joint commission
to adjust border differences, but pro.
posing a broader scope for the com

state department by Eliseo AFredondo,
Mexican ambassador-designate. 1t an
nounces the appointment of three
Mexican commissioners, with instruc'
tons to devote their attention prefer
ably to the resolution Of the points
mentioned in the previous note"
Thus, the de facto government APP
parently rejects the proposal that the
commission consider other questions
than the military situation and limits
its discussions TO subjects originally
suggested by Carranza-withdrawal of
American troops from Mexico; formu-
lation of protocol to cover future op-
erations against bandits and investiga'
ton of interests which may have pro.
NOTED border raids.
Whether this will be satisfactory to
the United States government has not
been indicated.
Old Point Comfort Va, or Asbury
Park, N. j., probably will be selected
as the meeting place OF the joint Amer
lean Mexican commission to adjust
border differences, Arredondo said.
