American Red Cross Undertakes
a New Work.
Communication With Friends and
Relatives in Countries Of Central
Powers Made Possible.

At the request of the department of
state, the American Red Cross has I'M
dertaken, through its bureau of COM
munication, to communicate messages
or inquiries from persons in America
concerning the welfare and where
abouts Of persons residing in the
countries of the central powers, or in
territory occupied by them.
In other belligerent countries this
communication is possible, since all
enemy subjects being held either as
civil or military prisoners Of war have
the privilege of correspondence grant
ed by international agreement. The
United States has not classed German
civilians as prisoners and consequent
ly the closing of the postal service to
the central powers has caused serious
hardship.
The government of the United States
proposes, through the American Red
Cross, to relieve this unnecessary suf-
fering.
individuals wishing to make inquiry
concerning the welfare and where
abouts of friends or relatives in ter
ritory belonging to or occupied by the
central powers. may communicate with
the bureau of communication, Amer
lean Red Cross, Washington, d. c..
Proper inquiries and messages will be
transmitted on special form to the
international Red Cross in Geneva.
From Geneva, they will be forwarded
to the individuals for whom they are
intended.
Answers will be returned to the In
ternational Red Cross and by them
will be sent to Washington. The Red
Cross will then communicate the In
formation received to writer's of the
original letters. Two 2-cent stamps
must be Enclosed for postage. A sim
liar method is being devised for the
transmission Of inquiries from the
central powers to America. This will
also be handled by the Red Cross.
The following points are to be OBJ
served by all inquirers:
1. Letters of inquiry must be ad-
dressed to the bureau of communica-
ton; not to the person concerning
whom inquiry is made.
2. Letters must be concise, since
only the briefest communication can
be sent.
3. They must mention only personal
matters, such as communications con-
corning the condition of members of
the family and requests for similar
information.
4. Letters must be legible and must
be in English, French, italian, Rus
sian, German, Polish, Hungarian, Turk
ish, or Greek.
5. They must include the full name,
address, and occupation of the sender
and the full name, address. occupa;
tion, and age Of the person for whom
the inquiry is destined.
G. Inquiries concerning the same
person may not be made oftener than
once in six weeks.
The bureau of communications re-
serves the right to refuse to transmit
any information or inquiry which APP
pears to be contrary to the national
welfare.

NewsMethod Of Extraction Found
Il by Uncle Sans Experts.
Absorption Process Different From
/ Those Formerly Used and Is Ex-
), pected to Reduce Waste.

i At the present moment, when the
c0untry's needs for gasoline threaten
to outstrip supplies, new means for
obtaining gasoline is Of greatest impor-
lance, says statement issued by
Uncle Sans department of the in
terror. Such a new source Is disclosed
in bulletin 12O, Extraction Of Gasoline
From Natural Gas by Absorption Meth
DDS" by George A. Burrell, p. NJ. Bid
Olson and G. G. Oberfell, which may be
obtained free upon application from
the bureau Of mines, department of the
interior, Washington. Bulletin 12O is
an important contribution to the lit
erature on the extraction Of gasoline
from natural gas.
! The extraction Of gasoline from nat
ural gas by compression and condensa.
ton has been an important and rapidly
growing industry in recent years, In
1915 about 100000 gallons We're pro-
duced by such methods, while in 1916
the estimated production was 100000
600 gallons. This gasoline is OF dou-
bled importance in that it can be blend
ed with napthas otherwise unsatisfac-
tory for use in the automobile, and
made into an acceptable motor spirit.
The absorption process is quite diff
ferent from the older compression
process and heretofore has not been
described In literature. It is method
only recently commercially applied to
natural gas yielding the same quality
Of gasoline and capable Of being APP
piled under conditions where the older
process could not be employed profit
ably. BY it the gasoline in natural
gas, though extremely lean, can be abb
sorbed in oil from which it is separated
by distillation. Natural gases yielding
less than one pint of gasoline from
each thousand cubic feet of gas have
been treated with commercial success,
where formerly this gasoline had gone
to waste and had constituted a source
Of much trouble and expense in the
pipe lines.
In view Of the present needs Of gaso-
line for war and Industrial purposes,
this additional quantity of gasoline,
heretofore a waste and source Of ex-
pense, is Of tremendous Importance
and may be considered as an excellent
illustration of the results the bureau
of mines is obtaining in its investiga-
lions for reducing wastes and increas-
ing efficiency in the petroleum indus
try.
Bulletin 12O treats fully the underly-
ing principles Of the. absorption proc
ess, as well as the methods for testing
natural gases for gasoline, the con-
struction and operation OF. absorption
plants, and records the results OBJ
tanned by several plants Of demon
strated commercial success. While so
far restricted in commercial use to the
treatment OF large volumes of gases
too lean for profitable treatment by
compression, 1T is not thought to be
limited to that field but is believed to
be capable of extension into condi-
tions where cOmpressors are now be-
ing employed.

American Soap Popular in China.

American soap is popular ut Hong

OJINACA NOW FEARS RAID FROM VILLA
 AND BANDITS
(By Review Leased Wire.)

PRESIDIO, Tex. Nov. 12.-Francis- co Villa is again expected to attack the border port of Ojinaga. opposite here and tonight has been set by Mexican officials here and in Ojinaga for the attack.
 Following a conference of his chiefs at Maijoma sixty1fiye miles soutJ, east of Ojinaga yesterday, Villa and his forces were reported to be moving in the general direction of Ojinaga by way of La Mula pass. This was not confirmed although patrols were sent out late last night from the federal garrison across the river to explore the country as far as La Mula pass for any signs of the Villa column.
 Yesterday Colonel Castro, command ing the Ojinaga garrison. sent an UT gent appeal to Colonel Flores, of the Juares garrison who has reached Haci endidio, twenty miles up the river, to proceed to Ojinaga at once and rein force the garrison. Flores declined to do this. remaining in Haciendidio last night. Castro has less than 400 men in the garrison opposite here although a large federal column under Gener als Cordovay Espinosa and Cardona were reported late last night to be ad.' vancing in the direction of Villas rem dezvous at Ojinaga, with the intention of encircling his forces. The Ojinaga garrison has been sleeping on It's arms for the last two night and ar engagements have been made to have the entire garrison on duty tonight to prevent a surprise attack. If Villa at tacks, it is expected to occur sometime after midnight as this is his usual custom.
 Couriers from villas main command approached the border last night and held conferences with Villa agents from the American side of the river. Villa himself was reported to have come to the river but this was not con firmed and doubted here. There is now practically no doubt that Villa IS in command of the Villa troops in per son and that Hipolito Villa. his brother is with him.
 The purpose of the Villa movemen: into this district is now believed 10 be two-fold. One is to obtain ammu- milton in exchange for silver bullion' seized by Villa and the other to meet
