French Oppose Erection Of
Fertilizer Factory in Paris

Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
Versailles, france, Feb. l,-Peymis-
sion given by the minister OF COM
merce to erect fertilizer factory in
the immediate vicinity of the Grand
Trianof has resulted in indignant pro-
tests not only on the part o. residents
of the town, but those OF adjacent
communities and Of Paris Trianon
park is the favorite promenade OF
Parisians and peoplL of Versailles,
and has attracted visitors from all the
world. Attention is called to the large
number of tourists that will undoubt-
eddy come to visit Versailles after the
war and the suggestion is made that
they should not carry away with them
a souvenir in the form OF disagree
able odor. The company, however,
announces they have taken all precau.
tons against odors and smoke and
dust as well.
One of the spots nearest the pro-
posed establishment is The Hamlet
in the garden Of the Petit Trianon,
laid out for Marie Antoinette, and
where women of the court enjoyed
the idyllic life in vogue at that time.
Twenty communes near Versailles
protested when the project first be-
came known, and authorization was
refused the company on the ground
that the public health might be en-
dangered. The company, however,
submitted the matter to higher au-
thority, and its request was finally
granted. Now renewed protests are
coming from all quarters with de-
mands that the company's permit be
rayotad

Protest Action of French in
Selling Property in China

Correspondence of The Associated Press,)
Peking, Feb. l2.--Showers OF petit
tons are reaching Parliament daily
concerning the action of the French
in forcibly selling an addition to their
concession in Tien-Tsin. Practically
all the provincial military governors
and high officials throughout China
have sent messages and memorials
urging the Parliament, the president
and the cabinet to resist the French
aggression.
The Association for the Protection
of National Territory, a Tien-Tsin
organization, says: IF the govern
ment yields to the French demand
this time the result will be that we
shall have no way to ward off the ma
tional insult and at the same time
other foreign powers will take similar
action in this country, with the result
that our territory will soon disap-
pear before the land-g grabbing powers.
When this process of encroachment
begins, the days of our national ex-
istence will be numbered. At the
outset this case might have appeared
somewhat trivial, but its final result
will have a significant bearing upon
the fate of the country"

STRUGGLE TO SECURE
THE SULPHURIC ACID
Belligerents of Europe Search
the World for Material to
Use in Explosives.
SPAIN GREAT PRODUCER

Correspondence OF The Associated Press,)
Paris, Feb. 1.-THE magnitude and
the importance of the struggle Of the
belligerents for sulphuric acid has just
been exposed to the senate in the
debate on the blockade.
Germany, according to Denys Co.
chin, under-secretary for foreign at
fairs, imported annually from Spain
100000 tons of pyrites for the p-o-
duction of sulphuric acid up to 1872,
when it increased its purchases there
and constituted reserve stock of
100000 tons; he regards this fact, incl
dentally, as a proof of premeditated
military action, and also as all indica-
ton of the poverty of Germany in
pyrites-three-quarters OF its con-
sumption of 100000 tons year
coming from abroad.
Pyrites Greatly Needed.
Norway, NJ. Cochin says, has fur
nished 100000 tons during the war.
The consumption by the central pow
ers he estimates at 100000 to L.
100000 tons of pyrites per year since
the war began. He thinks they have
been in sore straits for this acid and
that the 100000 tons of pyrites they
received from Norway was great
help to them.
M. Cochin gives out no figures for
France, but mentions that immense
new chemical works were created for
the production of sulphuric acid to
the extent that the French army could
make a prodigious use of explosives
manufactured from it and also supply
certain quantities for the manufac-
ture of agricultural fertilizers
In this debate it also developed
that considerable part of the nitro
glycerin used in the manufacture of
certain explosives made in Germany
was produced from bones that were
exported from France, according to
Senator Cazeneueve, who produced
figures to support his assertion.
Thousands of Tons Of Bones.
Switzerland exported l,400 tons OF
DOlleS Ill 1910 dllu lO,pOu toHo Ill NV
Senator Cazeneuve could find no 9TH
er likely buyer from Switzerland out
side of the Germans, and by chemical
analysis demonstrates that France
must thus have furnished Germany
1859 tons of smokeless powder.
Senator Cazeneueve said also that
raw silk in considerable quantities
had been exported from France to
Switzerland and re-exported to Ger
many to make fabrics that enter into
the manufacture OF cartridge shells.
Silk is used for the purpose in all
countries,
The Lyons silk industry, said Sena-
tor Cazeneuve, thanks to the great
outlet found in the United States,
had almost recovered its normal trade
in 1915, yet it was the silk manufac-

Stars and Stripes Floating
Over an Old English Mansion

Correspondence of the Associated PressD
London, Feb. l0.-The Stars and
Stripes now float over the home OF
English aristocracy. They were un-
iurled there the other day when the
American consulate general took pos
session of one of the most prctentious
homes in Cavendish Square, the most
famous of English squares in the
heart of London's fashionable west
end. In making the move the consul
ate deserted the city proper, the heart
of the financial district, three miles
distant, where it has been for more
than 100 years,
Robert P. Skinner, the consul-gen-
eral, decided the change was essential
to increase the efficiency of his staff,
to keep step with the march of bust
ness uptown as in New York, and last
but not least, in the interest of econ.
my. The old consulate was in stutfy
ill-ventilated building in New Broad
street where it was surrounded by
taller structures. 1t was not easily ac-
cessible to most people who had bust
ness there and the consul rental was
increasing each year. The new move
overcomes all these objections. 1t is
we'll ventilated, is pleasantly situated
overlooking a small park, is more cen.
trail for the thousands who come there
weekly and costs less than the old.
Consul Skinner and his staff fee
proud of the historic associations Of
the new home. A week before they
moved in it was vacated by Sir Ronald
Ross, an eminent physician who dis.
covered the yellow fever germ ant
whose researches into the origin Of
tropical diseases won for him tht
Nobel prize in 1902. Sir Ronald,
predecessor was Sir Francis Licking
who was a noted surgeon and physi
clan to King Edward. Other noted
medical men occupied the home from
time to time.
