FRANCE TO MAKE OFFER
AT 0NE-F|fTH COST
YANKEE WAR PROPERTY

Paris. July "a. France will
offer to take over the American
military property In France, consist
ing mainly of docks, railways and real
estate, at one.ffth OF its cost to. the
Americans, according TO statement
given to the Associated Press today
by Louis Morel, under.sewetary of
state for the liquidation of stocks. NJ.
Morel said that what seemed to be a
low offer in reality is liberal because
much of the military construction will
be of little value in peace time. The
French governments proposal will be
presented to c. w. Hare, American di'
rector of sales, who is expected TO
arrive here tomorrow with a staff of
experts.
Foods and other movable stores, II
was said, probably will be returned to
the United states.
NJ. Morel gave in some detail the
reasons that caused the French gov.
ernment to agree upon IA basis Of one
fifth of cost in offering to buy the
American property. Many miles of
railway track. he said, are mostly sid
ings located where they would be use
less under peace conditions. Ten
thousand passenger automobiles and
SO 900 trucks, owned by the Americans,
he said would ruin the French au-
tomobile industry If unloaded on the
French market"
You have 1900 locomotives and
IT 900 freight cars" he said, (which
are too large for our railways and too
heavy for our tracks"
The American.built docks in Allan
tic ports, he explained, We're built in
three months to last 10 years when
they will be useless"
An enormous amount of lumber
through France, Belgium
and Alsace is owned by
the Americans, NJ. Morel said, and
there is nearly enough lumber to fe'
build the devastated regions, but per
sons who lost brick or stone structures
are unwilling to accept wooden cot
tages as homes. The supplies most
attractive to the French people are
he many million pounds of flour, rice
md beans held by the army.

Weekly Metal Review
By Assoriatnd Prnss

New York June 22.-Barring railroad equipment, for which little or no de- mand is reported. the general situation in the steel industry is very favorable. Operations throughout the country at the various mills are increasingly sats- factory, according to statements made by manufacturers, and the scale of prices has indicated no tendency to sag. Structural steel is moving at better rate Tn May the percentage of capacity contracted for in the shops throughout the country stood at 49, compared with 24k per cent in April. which month showed a previous high for the current year. The bulk of the structural contracts being booked is for industrial plant expansion.
 The pig iron situation is likewise considered favorable at the present time, although interests here assert that during the current week the de- mand was not quite so favorable in sympathy with the fact that inquiries were numerous. The new rates on steel and iron products moving from this country to the United Kingdom were regarded here as paving the way for a more extended export field. In the ex- port situation the future of the present time is the demand noted from Japan and South America, the former buying literally in the market here
 There is little to report in the cop per market, the last week showing a quiet tone in the absence of any con certed demand from consumers
 According to the production figures of IS leading copper companies the May output amounted to S6,s26,o 900 pounds, compared with 90,540,000 pounds in April The total for March was 93,- 244,o00 pounds Despite the records for the past three months the demand is estimated as about half the present monthly production rate. The bureau of mines estimates the surplus here as around 1,500,000,000 pounds.
 Lead is quiet but prices are holding spelter firm. Increased activity is anticipated in the tin market here.
 It has been anonunced by the chief in charge of tin that only 577 tons of all located tin remain to be liquidated.

7ORDNEYS POTASH BILL WOULD RUIN
 SOUTHERN FARMER
Senator's and Representa- tives From South Will Op- pose It, Two Alabama
 Members Say.
By WILLIAM L. GORMLEY

Montgomery, June 22.-GSpecial0 southern senators and representatives al Washington will make a strenuous fight against bill of Representative Fordney of Michigan, who proposes an import tax of $50 per ton on potash, according to telegrams received by Miles C. All good, commissioner of agriculture of Ala bama, from Congressmen George Hud- dleston and Thomas J. Heflin. The tele- grams were answers to an appeal for as- sistance sent from Alabama.
 Southern farmers use approximately three-fourtrs of all potash imported into the country The price would be almost prohibitive, it is stated. The Potash is bringing on the market at this time $1S0 per ton. Agricultural departments of the south are expected to join in the fight against the Fordney bill in the House.
 Montgomery, June 22.-(Special.)--At a joint meeting of the budget commission and the educational commission on Mon day at the capitol, it is expected the matter of providing more money for the schools will be discussed.
 Each committee has made a close study of financial and educational mat ters and the educational commission is expected to tell the budget commission how much money is needed for the four year period that will elapse before a meeting of the legislature comes when the 1919 session is over
 Governor Kilby, member of the bud get commission, is known to be anxious to give the schools as much money as the state can spare. He would appropri- ate enough money with which to run the rural schools longer and the budget com mission will discuss these financial mat ters on Monday.

AGU|[AR AND O|[ INTERESTS CONFER
Better Understanding Be- tween United States and
 Mexico May Result.
By BRIGGS
ev Associated Press

Washington June 22.-Relations be-
 tween Mexico and the United States are
 expected by officials here to be greatly
 improved by conferences to be held in
 New York this week between Gen. Can
 dido Aguilar, son-in-law of Presidene
 Carranza, and minister of foreign at-
 fairs in Carranzas cabinet, and repre-
 sentatives of the oil companies operating
 in Mexico.
 General Aguilar, according to official
 information, is empowered by President
 Carranza to make any agreement neces-
 sary to effect settlement of the trou-
 blesome oil question: As result of con ferences held between General Aguilar ans officials of the state department last week, General Aguilar is considered as having obtained better view of the req American government in it's insistence on protection of American interests. Before leaving Washington last Friday il was learned today General Aguilar wrote long and exhaustive report to President Carranza, dealing with the American governments attitude on the international question. It is not known whether he made any recommendations in this report, but it is believed in off cial circles that the outlook is brighter today than it has been since February l9, 191S when President Carranza issued his first decree aimed at the oil com panies

Cotton Review
ey Associated Prsss


 New Orleans. June 22.-A favorable view of political events and continued unsatisfactory weather conditions in the belt put the price of cotton last week to new high levels for the present bull movement. Highest prices carried July to 3310c and at this level the market was 152 to 192 points higher than the close of the preceding week and 2s5 to PIP points up from the low levels made at the middle of the week. Last prices showed net gains of 101 to 130 points.
 Contributing to the strength of the market were the large exports and the very favorable accounts from the dry goods markets of both this country and England. which mentioned a large turnover at high prices. Exports this week were 157,S41 bales, against 9O.337 this week last year, bringing the total for the season thus far up to 4,S10,20S bales against 3,SS4,5S3 during the same period last season.
 This week the political situation abroad is bound to be the dominating factor at first at any rate. Should poli- ties settle down the attention of the trade would be diverted to weather and crop conditions, which are now of i'm creasing importance, because Wednes- day will end the second condition period of the season. The report on this period will be issued July and will be accompanied by figures on the acreage, and also by the first official tentative crop estimate this year, all of which means that before long bu- reau day will be the main thing in the
