since the armistfce was signed.
Many Of these young soldiers have
been missing since the battle of Ypres
and have long since been given up as
dead. The German authorities have
never reported them and their mail
was never received IL is presumed
that these prisoners must have been

FINANCE AND MARKETS

NEW YORK, July 15.-Pools and speculative interests generally again were in unindisputed control of the stock market today, resuming their bullish operations in the face of de- velopments which ordinarily would have given rise to no little concern.
 Absolute denoralization in the for eiSn exchange market, as evidenced by the acute weakness of rates on Lon don and Paris and increased discrim- l nation against industrial collateral caused only occasional interruption in the markets further advance. Yesterdays favorites, notably Cru cible Steel, Baldwin Locomotive and Stutz Motors, again were prominent but less sensational in their move ments. Numerous miscellaneous shares 1 contributed to the increased dealings, rails also manifesting strength, but i losing ground later, when leaders re- acted one to two points.
 Shippings were under persistent pressure, reflecting the disturbing con- ditions in that industry and oils vari- able while metals made but slight re- sponse to the generally high prices quoted for August delivery.
 Net gains of three to almost twelve points were made by American Suma tra and Lorillard tobaccos, American Woolen, Central Leather, the two classes of Bethlehem steel common Crucible Steel, Gulf States steel Cuban-American Sugar, U. s. Indus trial Alcohol and Sears -Roebuck. Sales amounted to 1,875,000 shares.
 Liberty and railway bonds eased slightly, internationals being quoted steady. Sales, par value, s14,500,000 Old United States bonds unchanged on call.

OUNTY CLERKS JET SMALL RAISE; ALL
 DECLARE FUR MORE

Hundred dollar clerks employed in ounty offices were raised s5 per ,onth by the board of supervisors, 1e salary increase affecting deputies 'ho have been in the employ of the ounty for a period of six months. The lerical staff of a years standing will e raised s15 a month.
 The action of the supervisors created 1dignant surprise among the county fficial family yesterday, a S25 a nonth increase having been recom- nended in the petition signed by all ounty officers. including the superior udges
 In many cases the small increase is ooked upon in the nature of tip, and here is talk of resignation by several fl the most efficient clerks, whom it ytll be difficult to replace.
 The dissatisfaction in thesala ry mat CT has been presented at various lines to the board during the past two years and no increase was forth com ing despite the high cost of living turing and since the war. One of the county officers, in making com plaint to a member of the board, was informed that if he could not secure clerks at SlOO month in Phoenix, he could advertise in the Los Angeles papers and would have no difficulty ih filling the positions.
 He evidently was not familiar with the law which does not permit a county officer to employ a non -resi- dent as a deputy" declared the of fiGfal. who was one of the men who led the fight for better salaries.
 When the matter was presented tC the supervisors sometime ago, John G Montgomery. sheriff. claimed that i salaries were not raised the efficiency

of his office would be lowered. He said that his men could not afford to work for the money allowed them by the supervisors, taking the stand that sl00 today was little better than $50 a few years ago. The sheriff was out of town yesterday and his views on the action taken by the board could not be learned. Charles Bowers, under sheriff of the county who received s175, did not care to discuss the mat ter.
 George Cummins, county assassor, declared that he was unable to get competent assistance for the meager salary paid for the work in his office, He expressed his indignation at the raise"
 q am responsible for approximately SIPS. .O0O00O. worth Of property year, and am placed in a position where can not employ capable men and women, who laugh when they are in- formed of the salary paid by my of- flee. I have lost several of my best men, who have received better posi- l tions, and have been unable to se- 1 cure as good clerks in their place" Tt is a shame and a disgrace" was | the opinion of Claude Bergman, clerk | of the court, who stated that he be- | lieved in a living wage for county clerks. Tt is impossible to keep eff l ficient clerks at the price allowed by the board of supervisors. I have dis. cussed the salary situation with nu. merous taxpayers, and invariably found they were in favor of an in crease in pay for the deputies wht handle the county business
 With hundreds of instruments filet in my office every month, it is neces sary that I employ efficient clerks, said Edith Jacobs, county recorder The county officers are placed un der bond and should employ only tn best of deputies, yet it is not possibl under the rules laid down by the su pervisors"

DROPS MUSIC, PICKS UP CARS
Attractive Artist Of London Turns
Thief and Playa MIdaO at
Hotels.

London.-For four months Sidney
Meredith, an attractive musician OF
22, dressed like q prince and threw
money to the winds In fashionable
hotels on the $1,000 to $500 week he
acquired through the daring theft Of
automobiles in London. He finally came
to grief, however. and has been SEN
fenced to three years Imprisonment.
Meredith has O thorough driving
knowledge Of cars, and this, with his
appearance, was his stock In trade. He
would not attract attention as he
climbed into q big car standing in front
Of club or hotel and drove away, and
he confined himself largely to this
method. He confessed, the police say,
to stealing thirty machines in the four
months he operated.
Meredith II accredited with saying
that he sold each car quickly to syn

often made from 400 to TOO per cent

MAKES INDIANS RICR.
Developments In Southwest Net
Them BIG Returns.
OIL and Coal Add to the Fortunes u
the AborleInes In Okla
homa.

We shlngton.-There are 100000 In
dlans scattered throughout the 40
states OF the Union; many Of them,
the 0sages. Greeks and Quapaws, are
rich In natural resources; rich In oil,
gas, coal. asphaltum. zinc and other
minerals that not alone make wealth
for themselves, but for the country Of
which they were the original occu'
pants.
Oklahoma ranks first OF all the
states of the Union In Indian popula-
tlon. The Interior department. thror9h
Cato Sells. commissioner Of Indian
affairs, leased during the last fiscal
year 1,053.820 acres Of land for oil.
This vast estate is being administered
through the Indian office in Washing
ton. through the commissioner OF the
Ave civilized tribes at MuskOgee, and
through the several Indian agencies
scattered throughout Oklahoma.
The total number sof barrels Of oil
produced from these rich fields during
the last fiscal year is 24,10S,207. The
value Of this oil In dollars would az
gregate $5O,OO0OO0.
The royalties alone during the last
fiscal year actually paid to these In
dian tribes approximated SS.O5O.o9S,
and for the six years preceding there
was derived in royalties alone and ac-
tually paid to tt. Indians for their
benefit In oil royalts s28,OO0.O00.
The total amount ~ Dll taken from
these Indian lands In Oklahoma, all
told, since oil was originally dlscOv-
cred, aggregates. 3S3.0O0.O00 barrels.
The total amount of royalties and
bonuses paid the Indians by oil oper-
ators during this development Is $780,
100000.
With the coming Of the white people
to the state and with the marvellous
Improvement going on In the conStruc-
tiOn OF railroads, wagon roads, school
houses and churches 1t will be seen
that the Indians are fast becoming rs
simulated into society, taking their
place and assuming the role Of citizen
