CHINA OVERRUN
 BY BANDITS OF
 GREAT PROWESS

WASHINGTON.-Following the recent capture of three American engineers by bandits in China, census of Chinese outlaws has been made, showing that in five provinces there are total of 37,00O brigands, This total does not include the band its of Mongolia, who are very num- erous and have been extremely ac- tive this year, nor does it include those of Honan, where the Amer;- cans were taken prisoners.
 Shantung leads the five Chinese provinves in outlaw population, hav- ing 19,OOO. Shensi has 1000, Anh- wei 5000, Human 5000 and Fukien 5000. The largest single band is in Shantung, under the leadership of Fan Yu-lin, who rules veritable principality inhabited by 2, 900 per sons. Yu Shan-hei, whose followers number 5000 is the chief rival of Fan Yu-lin.
 The daring of the brigands in Shantung recently became so open that the Tuchen of the province, Chang Huai-chin, asked permission to resign his command as leader of the army against the disaffected southern provinces and return to his own state to restore order. Many of the bandits are believed to be disbanded soldiers of the Chang Hsun, who endeavored to restore he monarchy, but was defeated and took refuge in the Dutch legation at Pekin.
 The Shantung bandits not long ago abducted three American mis missionaries and an American em ploye of the British-American To- bacco company, but let them gc after brief captivity. G. A.

BLACKLIST PUTS GERMAN AGENTS
 IN MEXICO OUT

CHIHUAHUA CITY, Mexico The American blacklist has shat tered one of the German plans for the commercial conquest of Mexico. Before the United States entered the war and prior to the last Mexi- can revolution, German business or ganizations scattered throughout northern Mexico gave evidence f the German intention to exploit the Mexican markets.
 One German wholesale hardware firm started to establish branches throughout the state more than 40 years ago, and at the outbreak of the revolutions, had branches in op- eration in Juarez, Casas Grandes, Santa Rosalia, Ojinaga and other places with a parent store here.
 While these houses were con ducted on business lines, it is con- sidered as a significant fact that all the German consuls and vice con- suls for this part of Mexico were appointed from among the managers and assistant managers of this con- cern. In Juarez, Casas Grandes and Santa Rosalia the branch managers were also German vice consuls, the consul in Chihuahua City also being one of the managers of the parent store here. The vice consul in Juarez was decorated by the German em peror for services rendered Ger many on the border.
 When the revolutions started these German stores were the first to suffer because they were wei stocked with wagons, harness anC other supplies needed by the re volutionists. The Juarez and Casa Grandes branches were footed ant burned and now only the paren store here remains in business.
 What the revolutionists failed t do to wreck these German store the American blacklist completed a the beginning of Americas wa against Germany Now it is almos
 impossible for the German firms r obtain supplies and Mexican buyer fear to buy from the blackliste firms for fear of being placed O
 this blacklist and denied the priv ilege of importing from the Unte
 States.

COMMISSION EXTENDING
 WORK TOWARD THE PASS

Wm. Gerig, in charge of the gov ernment railroad work in Anchor age division, sends out the good news that the government has let several large grading and other con- tracts on work north of Talkeetna. The contracts cover over twenty miles and will mean employment for several hundred men. Mr. Gerig ad- vises that there is not the dearth of laborers as commonly reported and railroad work will not suffer on account of lack of men. Other con- tracts will be let as the work pro- gresses, which means rejuvenation in railroad circles and increased activ- ity in Anchorage. MT. Gerig is ex- tremely optimistic over the railroad outlook, which is the business baro- meter at the coast town.

Treatment of Lignite


 900 cubic feet per ton of Ignite. It has a heating value of 400 to 45O British thermal units per cubic foot.
 "A little more than one-half of the gas is necessary to carry on the carbonizing process; the balance can be used as a city gas for cooking, or for lighting if burned in man. tie, for furnace fuel, or for gener- ating power by means of gas engine.
 Ammonia Can Be Recovered.
 "The ammonia can be recovered as ammonia sulphate, a valuable fertilizer; as anhydrous ammonia, for refrigerating purposes; or it may be treated as a source of other nit rogen producers, some of which are of vital importance in the manufac- ture of explosives.
 "Just what should be done with the tar and oil products in this conu- try remains to be determined; this is an industry in itself, but this tar is known to contain substantial quantities of benzol. toluene and other light oils, and the bases of many of the coal-tar dyes and chem icals. This industry is we'll de- veloped in Germany, and 1 have a very instructive chart showing the uses made in Germany of the vari- ous fractions of the Ignite oils and tars produced in the carbonization of German lignites. Prominent among these products are benzine and motor spirit.
 "In using raw Ignite, as is done under the present practice, thous ands of tons of screenings are an nually wasted. The coal is forkeC over in the mine room and screened again at the furnace when being loaded into railroad cars. If tht problem is handled as outlined above, this waste would be elimin ated, every pound of Ignite broker from the seam would be put tc some profitable use.
 Cannot Be Stored Economically "The raw Ignite can not be stored economically; the treated produc | can; and this results in anothe
 large saving, in that the mines cal operate under stable conditions tn | year around, instead of only dur ing the winter months as at present "Some study should also be direct ed for designing appropriate ap

paratus for these classes of fuels instead of using devices already on the market intended to consume fuels of quite different character.
 "Unquestionably the experiments so far conducted open up very large economic and commercial possibili- ties, and I am confident that a little wider and more complete investiga- tion will point the way for the es- tablishment of carbonizing and bri- quetting plants throughout the country, thus bringing effectively into the industrial world one of our largest natural resources, and re- sulting not only in the production of first class solid fuel so much needed, but in saving of many by products valuable in war as we'll as peace, and in easing up on the ever burdened transportation system of the nation"
