SPECIALISTS FROM
FRANCE COMING, TO
THE CONFERENCES
Andre Tardieu Sees Neces-
sity Of America Throwing
Full Weight Into Struggle
to Shorten War.

Paris, April 25.-To preach the Cos
pei OF an intensive war Is the mission
on which Andre Tardieu and group
Of French specialists in various de-
partments of the war are shortly to
leave for America as representatives
Of the French government in the allied
conferences.
To the United Press today Tardieu
outlined what this new mission plans
and emphasized the imperative neces-
sity that America and Americans throw
their full weight Immediately Into the
struggle II they desire to give hest aid
to the allies and help win the war in
the shortest possible time.
Editor, publicist, writer. diplomntist
and for two years q fighter at the
front, Tardieu Is convinced the way to
beat the enemy is by the heaviest pos
sible deluge Of steel. He is an expert
in preparations for this sort of war
fare.
LIST OF FRENCH NEEDS.
Tardieu said he had practically
completed a full list of what France
needed from America. He proposes to
balance this information with Frances
needs and inform his government ex-
actly what may be expected from
America in the shape of ships, food,
munitions, money. soldiers and the
like.
Official announcement was withheld
today of the exact number of French
war specialists who will accompany
Tardieu, but it was stated that they
will be drawn from various services.
All are experts. They will be prepared
and commissioned-to work in the
closest cooperation with American Of
ficials and with the British and Italian
missions in Washington with a view
to distribution of supplies under exist
ing allied agreements.
FULL POWER TO ACT.
For this purpose, Tardieu has been
vested with full information and with
full power to act.
First of all, France needs ships, grain
and steel. Tardieu hoped to confer
with General Cocktails about Americas
building program of submarine eva
ders" and to talk with other American
experts in various lines. He indicated
today he would not hesitate at the
proper time to give the press of Amer
lea an opportunity to spread to the ma
ton the Importance of the United
States working its hardest-now that
she is in the war.
Commissioner Tardieu refused to in
dictate today whether he would urge
that American troops be sent imme-
diately to the front-but he added:
Speaking just as citizen of France, ]
would emphasize that this nation would
give unprecedented welcome to the
olive-gr of the American uniform
and the sooner the better"
OF ROOSEVELT TYPE.
He is bound to make a distinct i'm
preston on America and Americans.
He is almost Rooseveltian in type-a
man with intense dynamic energy har-
messed by complete knowledge of actual
war conditions, gained first hand on
the battlefields.
1t is to be expected he will do won
ders in impressing Americans that Eu-
rope is expecting their intensive aid
and that any inclination now to "go
easy" means a longer war and lives
and money uselessly lost

Aged Mine Owner

Ration, N. M, Feb. 1.-The myster-

Wilkinson had disappeared, and a

DEM|NG BAXKSHAD
NO RIGHT TO TAKE
BACK The INTEREST
INTERESTING RULING BY ATToR-
NEY GENERAL INVOLVES THE
CLARK PUBLIC MONIES ACT;
SHOULD FORCE A REFUND

In an opinion written for A. O,
Whittier, state travelling auditor, At
torney General Harry l.. Patton holds
that two Deming banks which paid in
%terest on Luna county deposits on the
suppOsition that they were required
to do so by the Clark public monies
act, and which. when it was held that
this act did not become effective until
January l, 1917, charged the county
treasurer with the interest paid, had
no right to withdraw the funds paid
as interest, and that unless they vol
unfairly refund the money, legal &C.
ton to force them to do SO should be
taken. In his opinion Mr.. Patton
says:
"The question presented is as to the
validity of the contracts OF the two
banks wherein they agreed to pay in
terest on those public funds, and their
consequent right to charge the treas
urer's account with the amounts that
they had paid. AS | am advised, the
banks justify their action in charging
the treasurer's account and taking the
money back upon the theory that the
act under which the contract was
made had not gone into effect, and
that since all parties acted under the
mistaken belief that the law was in
force and effect, they should not be
held under their agreement. / do not
think such theory is tenable. While
there was no law in effect which au-
thorized the charging of interest upon
deposit of public funds, and though
the designation of a bank as a county
depository was Intellectual, the bank
voluntarily entered into an agreement
to pay three per cent interest. It's
bid was accepted, funds were deposit
ed, and the bank was presumably ben
Gifted. The agreement to pay inter
est was not illegal and was not i'm
moral, and no public policy forbade it.
After deriving this benefit in this
manner, in my opinion, these two
banks should comply with the terms
of their contract, and should they not
voluntarily renay these accounts, ap-
propriate action should be brought
against each of them to recover the
same"

Oil Sand at 327
Feet Struck by
TOltec Company
SMELL OF PETROLEUM STRONG
IN HOLE NEAR ROSWELL AND
OIL EXCITEMENT is GROWING

Roswell, N. NJ, Feb. 1.-THE Toltec
Oil company at a depth of 327 feet,
Saturday afternoon struck a stratum
OF oil sand two feet thick. According
t. the best oil biologists in the Unit
ed States oil sand is the n best in
dication of oil pools and a never fail
ing sign. The oil sand is seldom
found at such a small depth and the
Toltec company did not even hope to
find it at a depth less than 20Q0 fee.
Monday morning. at a depth of 407
feet, the big drill passed through
more oil sand. The smell Of oil is
very strong in the hole and the optim-
ism of those holding land near the
well has jumped about a thousand de-
grees.
The Roswell Record says:
The Toltec company is making ex-
cellent progress with their well north
of this city and expect to have 1t COM
pleted by April LIST, at least. Other
derricks are coming and will be
placed In the Ballard pasture. Those
high in state circles are taking leases
on land near the Halfway house on
the old Vaughn road. This lies be-
tween the we'll now being drilled near
Lamy and the one north of this city.
As a result OF the striking Of the
oil sand and the value OF claims has
taken another jump and a few now
to be had at any price. Business men
OF this city are taking an added in
terest in the old Developments and a
man who does not look for great
things hereabouts soon can hardly be
found.
The Toltec company Is still at
tempting to secure leases on all pat
ented land in the Vicinity of their
we'll north OF THIS city again showing
their absolute faith in their propo-
sition.
The drilling is now going on day
and night and the progress being
made Is most gratifying.

DETERMINED FIGHT IN
ROOSEVELT ON PLAN
FOR De BACA COUNTY
PROSPECT OF LOSING TWO AND
A HALF MILLIONS IN TAXABLE
PROPERTY FAILS TO APPEAL
TO LARGE NUMBER OF ciTl-
zENs

According to the Portales Valley
News, there is determined and wide
spread opposition in Roosevelt couh-
ty to the De Baca county bill, Great
ing the new county of De Baca, which
has passed the house and which is
expected to come up in the senate
this week. The last issue Of that pa
per says:
ut is apparent that unless imme-
date pressure is brought to bear that
Roosevelt county is scheduled to lose
something like two and one-half mil
lion dollars worth of her taxable prop
erty for the sole purpose of booming
the townsite of Fort Sumner and fur
nishing some easy political jobs for
those who have failed to make a liv-
ing in the legitimate lines Of en-
deavor. This new county proposition
has little, il any, merit in it, and does
not come as a reasonable demand from
the citizenship of the district affect
ed. AS a matter of fact, the people
affected by this movement are oppos-
ed to the proposition as presented. OF

county seat and might add a little
dignity to the claims of that place as
a trading point, but these are scarce
ly such grounds as might reasonably
be set up for the creation of a new
county. AS proposed, the bill gives
to the new county more taxable
wealth by about three and one half
millions than it leaves to Roosevelt
county from which all Of the territory
that is fit for agricultural purposes,
is taken. While the people in the
vicinity of Tolar, fabian and La Lande
really want a new county, they do
not want it under the provisions of
the bill creating De Baca county. This
time, the measure carries with it what
its trainers believe to be a little sop
for Governor De Baca, in that it has
been given his name in the hope that
it will appeal to his vanity and, on
that account, that he will not eXer-
else his veto power. Governor De
Baca can scarcely fall for this little
cheap piece of vaudeville, and the
people Of Roosevelt county, who stood
SO loyalty by him during the recent
election have full faith that he will
not throw them down on such a flag
rant wrong. The territory that is
attempted to give us in lieu of that
taken is less than one-fourth the value
of that which is filched from us, and
it is very problematical if even this
recompense may be lawfully made
Our representatives are doing every
thing in their power to prevent this
wrong and they should be given all
the assistance from this end Of the
line that Is possible"
