expressing his general satisfaction,
made reservations which indicated
that his proposals for an interna-
tional military force will be heard
again when the debate proceeds fur
ther.
Another slight levidence of dissent
was found in the remarks Of w. nj.
Hughes, of Australia. who inquired
with some feeling if ample oppor-
tunity to discuss the scheme would
be given. The Arabian delegation
also sounded a minor note of discord
in calling attention to secret treaties
which were said to interfere with the
of determination ex-
pressed by the covenant.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson arrived at the
1nvalides station at 8 o'clock in a

CLAIM GERMAN CABLES

Paris, Jan. 26.-(By Man)-The
French and British claims to one each
of the two German trans-Atiantic
cables probably will be settled by the
peace conference.
These two lines linked Emden with
Rockaway. l.. l., at the outbreak Of
the war. -Four hours after Great Brit
ain entered the world conflict. Britt
ish cruiser cut both cables on At
Azores and the British and French
governments agreed to take one each.
The French permitted the one they
took to lie idle, but the British adapted
the other. linking IL with Halifax.
There is little likelihood. IL Is be-
lieved in well informed circles here,
that the cables will be returned 10

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1919-04-25
EXPERT MAKES REPORT
Germans Systematically De-
stroyed Mines in France.
Declares no Such Atrocity Was Ever
Perpetrated Against Industrial
Life of Any Country.

Washington, April Redistribution
wrought by the Germans in Northern
France was so systematic and dia-
bolical" that it will require five years
to rehabitate the coal, iron and steel
industry and from IL to Is years to re-
turn the mines and mills to normal
output, according to report by Frank
H. Probert. consulting engineer of
the bureau of mines. He is member
of a special investigating committee
which recently returned from Europe.
The actual physical damage to the
iron mines is small when compared to
the destruction of the coal fields of
Northern France, which is as repre-
hensible as it is complete" Mr.. Pro-
bert said. In my opinion no such
atrocity was ever perpetrated against
the industrial life of any country.
The wilful demolition was scientiical-
ly planned and carried out.
The coal veins of Northern France
are overlain by water-bearing strata,
necessitating special methods of shaft
sinking and support to keep the mines
dry"
