FLOATING MINES IN SEA
OF MARMORA DANGEROUS

CONSTANTlNOPLE. April "a. Cor
respondenCe of the Associated Press. -
Floating mines In the Dardanelles and
sea of Marmora still constitute great
danger to navigation. Several ships
have been lost since the armistice
through mine explosions. The armistice
required Turkey to indicate all mines,
but 1t has not been possible In all
cases to give their exact position
Mine-sweepers have been at work for
scme time, but naval authorities say
II viii be many months before vessels
can proceed through the straits with
safety. No navigation IL permitted at
night. On passenger vessels lifeboat
drills are held regularly, just as in
days when submarines menaced the
seas.
Even In the broad stretches Of tho
Aegean sea the greatest precautions are
taken against floating mines. In GER
tain areas passengers are required to
wear life preservers, and narrow lanes
of travel have been marked out for
pilots to follow.
But It Is in the Black sen that the
greatest danger exists. Not only are
there numerous floating mines thare,
but extensive unmarked mine fields

The cattle, which are valued at $780,

future with additional gifts, after which
hlQEe cattle are to be sent to Serbia

GERS naively complain that these rein

Desertions from the Bolshevik ranks
and disCbedience of orders are reported
on the increase in North Russia, also
a lack of training among officers and
men and deficiency OF arms and ma
terial. In the Ural district riots are re-
ported to have occurred owing to the
difference of pay between troops at
the front and those remaining behind
the lines.
Anti-Bolshevik sentiment Is said to
be so pronounced among some Of the
regiments garrisoning Petrograd that
the authorities are afraid to take ac-
ton against disaffected units or to send
them to the front.

MEXICAN OUTLAWS
KILL AMERICANS
BANDITS SCORE MANY ouTRAoes
IN the RICH TAMpico
OIL FIELDS.
Repeated Raids Result In Death Of
Many American Citizens. the Serious
Injury Of Scores and q Terrible
loss In Property.

Washington.--A chronological stnte-
ment Of bandit outrages in the Tam
Vdco oil fields. compiled from official
sources. has been submitted to the
state department. The statement deals
with the period from August 10, 1917,
TO the present and records the killing
OF twelve men, including eight Ameri-
can citizens; the woundlng or other
wise seriously injuring of thirty-one
people including nine women, some OF
them Americans; the theft of more
than $4,000 in cash, American gold
property destroyed valued at more
than $4,000, and the theft Of much
live stock.
In all, us raids. attacks. holdups
and battles are listed in the record,
which includes the depredations per-
petrated upon the properties and en-
ployes Of fourteen different oil com
panies.
Officials said that with few excep-
lions these depredations occurred in
territory occupied and controlled by
the loyal Mexican forces sent to the
oil fields in an effort to dislodge the
bandit Pelaez and that in many cases
the regular Mexican soldiers were in
wolved. BY local law. foreigners are
not allowed to carry arms, so that lit
tie resistance could be made when the
bandits attacked.
The paymasters of the various CON-
panies, 1t was said here, are compelled
70 notify Mexican officials at Tampico
of the time when they propose to 60
TO the outlying districts to pay en-
ployes and the amount Of money they
will take. In several instances. 1t was
said, the bandits were not satisfied
with the amount of money offered
them when they held up the paymas-
tiers and their escorts and demanded
the exact sum previously declared by
the company to the Tampico officials.
This has led to charges of collision
being formally filed with the Mexican
government

NATIONS FINANCES
COMMISSIONS ON Worldwide
PROBLEMS hEARp m THE
COUNCIL OF POWERS
Concerns War Debts and Debts Made
esfers the War In Enemy Countries,
and whether They Are to be
Paid or Repudiated.

Paris.-The council Of the great
powers on March l began considera.
ton Of financial and economic prob.
lens as affecting both the treaty Of
peace and permanent conditions after
the war. This subject is taken up
after weeks given to hearings on terri
torial questions.
The subject was presented in two
specific reports. One was from the
financial commission of which Louis
klitz. French minister Of finance. is
chairman, and Albert Straus and Nor
man Davis are the American members.
The other report was from the Geo.
nomic commission Of which Albert
Clementel Of France Is chairman and
Bernard NJ. Baruch, Vance Mccormick
and DIR. A. A. Davis are the American
members.
The financial commissions report
was brief, giving the main headings
of the vast financial reorganization
that is required. 1t does not embrace
reparations and indemnities for the
war, as those subjects are being con.
sidered separately. Most of the head
ings were presented without recon-
mendations which are left to the coun.
Gil and the plenary conference.
One OF the main headings concerns
war debts and debts made before the
war In enemy countries, and whether
they are to be paid or repudiated and,
If paid, the manner and priority of
payments. Another heading deals with
state property in territory ta. IN over,
such as state mines and state railways.
Thus far, the proposal to redistrib-
ute the war burden has not been con-
sidered favorably by the British, Amer
lean or Japanese members. The Brit
ish do not wish to add to their bur-
dens by taking part of the continental
burdens, while Japan believes she
should hold alOof from European in
debtedness.
