Ren1ick Makes
Loan Appeal to
Board Members
Tells Stock Exchange Men
That National Honor and
Self-Respect Call for a
Full Victory Subscription

William H. Remck. chairman Of the
New York Stock Exchange Liberty
Loan Committee, in an appeal to his
fellow members on the board yesterday
reminded them that Americas national
honor is involved in the present finan-
cial drive.
National self-respect," he said, ere
quires that we promptly and cheerfully
loan to the government this S4,5OO,0OO,-
900 Compare our total war loan of
about S21 900, 100000 to England's S3o,-
100000, 900, raised during the havoc of
war, when our total wealth is $3.50.

The Victory notes must be sold to
individuals. If the banks are Obliged
to take them essential credits will be
restricted and business impeded.
"The Secretary of the Treasury is
confronted with task greater per
haps than any that his predecessor had
to face, because it must be undertaken
without glamour. He has the right,
therefore, to rely upon the members of
the exchange to stand the test of char
acter and to respond with even great
er determination than when the bands
were playing and the boys going to
France
'Victory notes are an ideal invest
ment and can be offered to clients of
all types in the confidence that thew
Will show little or no depreciation, and
must, in the course Of time, sell at a
premium. Every subscription benefits
the buyer, benefits the government and
hastens the return to normal business
and unrestricted credit"

American Firm Wins
British Rail Order
Will Furnish Street Railway
Steel to the City of
Birmingham

LONDON, April Correspondence
Of The Associated Press) Yankee en-
treprise triumphed when the city of
Birmingham, planning to replace it's
street car rails, invited bids for ma
terial. An American obtained the con-
tract, although two British firms asked
for it, and protests were SO numerous
that the municipal government issued
an official statement.
One of the British bidders, it was ex-
planned, agreed to begin delivering
fifty tons week in April, but would
not consent to penalty clause for
non-delivery; the other promised 1900
tons within twenty weeks. The firm
in the United States agreed to COM
plete delivery by the end of May and
quoted lower price than either of the
British manufacturers. The price and
the fact that the authorities were anx-
ious to complete the work this year
were the influencing factors in favor
Of the American bidder
Sending American steel rails to Bir
mingham is like carrying Goals to New
castle, with the possible exception that
the purchase by the city corporation of
street railway rails made in the United
States was because Birmingham thus
got better rails than if the British
product had been used
Councilman Lee, called upon in the
City Council to explain the purchase.
said rails recently supplied by British
manufacturers had not been equal to
the committees standard, the life of
such rails being five years instead of
the normal life Of fifteen years
Alderman Bewlay declared this state
ment reflected on the British steel
trade industry, and another member
recalled that a rule of the council for
bade the placing of an order with for
eign concern when the value was more
than $4,000.
The controversy ended when reso-
luton was adopted approving the pur-
chase of American rails, but reminding
the committee of the existence of the
rule regarding foreign goods and or
dering its enforcement in the future.

Oil Properties At
Tampico Valued
At $300,000,OO
Mexican Governments Lat
est Estimate Is Far Below
Figures of the Companies
: Operating in That District
Financial Bureau
Special Correspondence

MONTEREY, Mexico, May 5.-Valua-
ments in the petroleum industry in the
Tampico region was recently finished
by the Mexican government. The total
figures are far below the estimates
made by the operating companies of
the value Of their respective holdings.
The government estimate, as given out
by the Department Of Industry and
Commerce, follows:
Value of wells, $10O,OOO,0OO; 1000
kilometres of pipe line, $50,00o,o00;
steel and cement storage tanks, $780,
100000; refneries, $50,000,000 lands,
$50,O00,000; railway lines, buildings,
| furniture, machinery, etc, S30,0O0,OO0;
, total, $3O0,00O,000.
Will Provide Military Escorts
That the government estimate of the
value of the oil lands is far too low
seems very apparent. AS an evidence Of
this fact, one American company places
value of $75,000,OoO on its oil land
holdings This is the Mexican Pc
troleum Company.
The various companies operating in
the Tampico petroleum region have
been notified by the military authori-
ties Of that dictrict that in conse-
quence of the attacks that have been
made by bandits upon small parties
conveying payrolls into the interior
military escorts in the future will be
provided upon notification, but that if
no such notification is given and the
parties proceed without them, the gov
ernment will not be responsible for
their protection. -
Exploiting New Field
Much attention has been attracted to
the discovery of petroleum made some
time ago in the vicinity of Mapimi,
we'll known mining camp, located
in the northeastern portion of the
State of Durango and not far from
Gomez Palacio and Torreon. Biologists
who have examined the region give 1t
as their opinion that extensive oil de-
posits exist there. A number of prac-
tical oil men from the United States
have gone to that section with the
view of undertaking the exploitation
of the new field A company has
been organized composed Of Mexicans
and Americans, and it is reported that
100000 will be devoted to the enter
prise. Tho Secretary of Industry and
Commerce has been asked for the
necessary authority. Evidences Of the
existence of petroleum have been found
at various times in the states of Chi
huahua and Coahuila, but no syste-
matte development has been under
taken. Drilling is now under way on
the northern bank of the Rio Grande,
not far from Ell Paso, where there
are said to be encouraging indications
of the presence of petroleum. 1t is the
opinion of many who are engaged in
L Y
found to exist generally throughout
Northern Mexico, just as they are
being developed in various portions of
Texas.
