CARRANzA HOLDS
TO STAND UPON
OIL QUESTION
Confiscation of Foreign Prop
erty Favored-Wants Mex
leans to Develop Industry,
(By Associated Pres1)

WASHINGTON. Aug. 23.- OniGals
here are somewhat disturbed. it was
learned today, by an apparent dat ,
mination on the part Of Carran8a e.
his official advisors In Mexico City to
oonfsoate the oil property of foreign
ers including Americans, In spite Of
the protests lodged with the Mexican
government by all the nations whose
nationals have Investments In Mexico.
The public declarations by Mexicans
close to Carranga have expressed the
presidents stand on this matter which
public opinion, official and unofficial
alike, except for the Carranzists have
declared to be vital The opinion Of
all classes in Mexico, as reported in
the Mexico City newspapers and trans
m1tted to the state department, is for
prompt and correct settlement OF
the petroleum question which has
been to be the key to relations be-
tween the United States and Mexico.
Newspapers and citizens especially
those Of the educated class, according
to reports to the state department,
urge that because of the recognised
danger Of Intervention Mexico at lsast
protect foreign investments even II
she cannot stop the murder Of foreign
citizens.
Need Foreign Capital.
Don Carlos Dufoo, the eminent Mex,
lean economist, asserted that foreign
capital is absolutely necessary to the
development of Medco's resources be-
cause Mexicans have not the capital
to put into the extensive enterprises
and would not invest it If they had
It. In the fact of these demands now
made publicly and declared to be i'm.
perative, Carranza's official circle has
no notion, 1t Is said. Of protecting for
eign capital in Mexico. This is borne
out by the following official statement
recently made by Ing F. Vasquez
Schiaffino, chief Of the Petroleum bu
reau of the department of industry
commerce and labor: "The steps taken
by the petroleum bureau have followed
program whose main points may be
summarized as follows:
Mexican Interest Urged.
ITO engage in work of propaganda
and diffusion of all data relating tc
the petroleum industry so as to inter
est national capital and to invite the
attention of Mexican industrials, pro
fessional men and workmen, in order
that they may play an active and i'm
portant part in the development OF
this industry making it in a short
time, as essentially and genuinely
Mexican Industry" 1r
This official statement which It is
believed here was inspired by Car
rama coupled with the advice OF Luis
Cabrera, secretary Of the treasury
urging the supreme court to be in nc
haste about considering the petroleum
cases now before it has aroused great
interst in official circles here. The
petroleum cases now before the Mex
lean supreme court are there on the
advice Of the American State Depart
ment which asked the American oil
companies to ccnform to all the re
quirements of the Mexican law ster
by step from the lowest courts to the
highest courts in the land.

Commission TO
APPROVE $4,000
HOSPITAL FUND
County tuberculosis Institu-
ton, for 80 Patients, to be
Built by Bond Issue.

Members of the county board Of
commissioners will approve of ths
plans brought before the commission
ers Saturday morning, for the COM
pletion Of the Wayne County Tuber-
culosis hospital, according to state
ment made Saturday by one OF the
commissioners.
Under the plan proposed, the county
will appropriate $4,000 for the pur-
pose Of completing hospital unit to
accommodate 80 tuberculosis patients.
Dr.. J. NJ. Bula, county health Of
ficer. Will Romey. representing the
Richmond Commercial club, and John
w. Mueller. county engineer, present
ed the proposed plan to the commits
sioners Saturday morning, and OBJ
tanned their approval.
Under the new scheme, the county
will inappropriate the money. amount
ing to approximately $4,000 already
in the hospital fund. and will make a
bond issue of from $4,000 to 10000
for the remainder of the expenses in
connection with the new institution.
Considerable interest has been
shown in the attitude Of the commits
sioners toward the new hospital, and
it was considered for time that the
best plan would be to hold any build
ing operations on the site proposed
for the hospital. over until next year.
For 80 Patients.
The new hospital plan calls for a
single building of two wings, which
will accommodate thirty patients. The
building will be one story high, and
will include a heating plant, laundry,
kitchens and dining halls for both pa
t1ents and attendants, and a sewage
disposal plant. -.... -
The building is so arranged, that as
the demand for space and accommoda-
tions at the hospital increases, the
hospital may be enlarged by the build
ing Of new cottages, allowing plenty
of room for the growth Of the institu-
ton.
Owing to the fact that the time limit
for advertising the appropriation has
expired. for the next meeting of the
county council, it was impossible to
raise any money from the general tax
fund, and the commissioners decided
to ask for bond issue to cover the
appropriation.

kOLCHAK'S FATE
Determined IN
next 80 DAYS
Omsk Government Facing
Crisis, Declares Ambass-.
ador Morris.
(By Associated Prees)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Ambassa-
dor Morris. who was sent by the State
Department from Toxic to Omsk to re-
port on conditions in Siberia, has ad-
v1sed the government that the next
thirty days will probably see a crisis
ment.
Ambassador Morris in his report it
was learned today, asserts that Admir-
al Kolchak has had to devote SO much
attention to the military campaign
against the Bolshevik that he has been
unable to organize sufficiently the civil
government and administration in 81
IBERIA to keep the people contented, but
nevertheless Kolchak is the best man
for the task confronting him and that
1t is question of his success or the
triumph Of the Bolsheviki.
Lack of material aid from the allies
has been tremendous handicap for
Kolchak, the report states, and this
has led to friction between the mill
tary commanders of the Kolchak
forces. Admiral Kolchak has called
on his officers whom he cannot re-
place because of lack of others COM
petent to lead the armies, to sink their
differences for the sake Of the country
and Is endeavOring to make a deter
mined stand on a new line more than
100 miles west Of Omsk. His forces
are small numbering not more than
100000 men the ambassador advised
and their equipment is not adequate.
Predict Soviet Collapse.
Military authorities in Paris and
here however, agree that the Bolshe-
Wiki are making their last desperate
effort against the Kolchak troops and
If they fail this time the soviet gov
ernment in Russia will collapse. Of
f1cers here say that the Bolsheviki
have not enough men or munitions to
handle the situation on more than one
front at time and this Is the reason
Denekins finds It a simple matter to
advance in the south at this time when
the Bolsheviki have concentrated their
forces on the Omsk front
Recognition of the Kolchak govern
ment, If it succeeds in surviving the
rext thirty days, has been urged by
Ambassador Morris, 1t is understood.
To make this recognition effective 1t
is understood the ambassador has
urged that this government be reading
to assist in the negotiation of loans for
the Siberian government and to dis
patch additional arms and munitions
and later food and clothing.
The ambassador also recommended
that experts be sent to Siberia at the
same time the food and clothing is
dispatched to aid in the distribution
of it and to lend such assistance for
the establishment and maintenance of
civil government in the various sec
tiOnS Of the country.

TRAIL GROWING COLD
(By Associated Press)

MARIA. Texas, Aug. 23.-Pursuit of
Mexican bandits by the American pun
ative expedition Is continuing south
from the point in Mexico where an
american camp has been establishe ed,
II was announced today. The trails
are not considered "hot" however, and
rs the bandits have reached the noun
tain fastnesses, 1t is feared they have
escaped.
TWO forces Of troops, Carranza fed
erals operating far to the south and
American cavalry further north today
are securing the Concilos river region
OF Mexico, in an endeavor to clear
that section of bandits who precipita-
ted an expedition into the southern
republic by capturing and holding for
ransom two American army aviators.
Five known dead bandits was the net
results Of the expedition at the begin
ming OF the fifth day Of operations be-
low the border.
More rapid progress in the pursuit
of the outlaws was expected today,
yesterdays chase having largely de-
layed by dispatch of supplies and for
age to the American soldiers.
DIckman Ends Inspection
Major General Joseph T. Dickman,
commander of the southern depart
ment left last night for San Antonio,
after completing an inspection Of the
border and familiarizing himself with
the details of the punitive expedition.
Before leaving the general said an ef-
fort would be made to pay the bandits
the $500 remaining of the ransom
money for the aviators, though he did
not say just how this would be done.
Rumors Of further bandit captures
and bombing strongholes which found
circulation at various times yesterday
proved unfounded, but the possibility
of using bombs in wiping out bandits
developed with the arrival Of aerial
bombs for experimental purposes and
an announcement that these might be
used If bandit force should be found
In any considerable numbers. No in
formation came from the expedition
aTy forces yesterday except word
brought here by aviators that the pur.
suit of the bandits still was being con-
Quoted. Reports that the forces would
be withdrawn at an early date had no
foundation, General Dickman saying
the expedition would remain in Mexi-
co as long as they were following
a hot trial. There was no explanation
of the resembling of the order for
additional troops to support the puni-
tive expedition.

DOMESTIC news
PRINT INDUSTRY
STIMULUS URGED
Senator Watson Declares Sup
ply of American Pulp Wood
Should be, Conserved.
(By Associated Press1

WASHINGTON, August 23.-As q
step toward conserving the decreasing
supply of American pulp wood used in
The manufacture Of newsprint paper.
Senator Watson, Republican. Indiana.
eoday introduced a resolution author
izing the secretary of agriculture to
make q survey and preliminary inves-
ugation Of the nations available pulp
wood timber supply. The secretary
also would be directed to make recon-
mendations for pulp wood utilization.
The sum Of $100, 900 is asked to carry
on the survey and investigation.
Two-thirds of the newsprtnt paper
used by American newspapers, Sena-
tor Watson said in introducing the
resolution, "is imported, or Is manu-
factured from wood pulp imported
from Canada. One third Is made IN
the United States from wood grown In
the United States. The former pro-
portion is steadily Increasing and the
latter Is steadily decreasing"
Nearly all of the American news
print manufacturing is located in the
northeastern states, half of it in New
York" the senator continued, but In
the Pacific Washington,
Oregon and part of California, and the
inland empire of northwestern Mon
tana and northern Idaho are great for
ests that have no more than been
touched by few pulp mills in this
section Of the country"
Yield In Alaska.
The senator told the senate that In
Alaska are enormous areas OF forests,
the annual growth of which would
supply pulp for half of the newspr1nt
paper used in the United states put
no pulp mills are there.
Senator Watson warned that Amer
ican newspapers are being more and
more dependent upon foreign sources
for the raw material from which news
print paper is made; the raw material
is being exhausted in the section
where the domestic industry is con-
centrated and mills are moving from
this country to Canada while at the
time the United States contains forest
resources in the northwest and in
Alaska has promised abundant supply
for many years, and Indefinitely un-
der proper conservation, if the indus
try can be built up in these regions.
Policy Suggested.
The importance Of permanent do
mestic newsprint industry was en-
phasized by Senator Watson who rec
commended that the forest service of
the department Of agriculture be en-
couraged in it's work to prevent Amer
ican newspapers from becoming total
ly dependent upon foreign supply.
To stimulate American production, he
said the following governmental pol
icy should be carried out:
"An immediate and adequate gov
ernmental policy should be carried
out:
AN immediate and adequate gov
ernmental survey of American re-
sources in this field.
Immediate steps to bring about the
practice Of forestry and the conserva-
ton OF forests in the pulp-producing
regions, to the end that the annual in
roads upon the forests will be lessen
ed and eventually will be no more
than equal to the annual growth.
