Mexico Committed Overt
Act When it Ordered Sol
diers Around Wells, Says
State Department.

Washington, July 1.-The state de-
partment officials said today that the
Mexican government had committed
an overt act of confiscation in pre-
venting American oil well drillers to
work on lands owned by American in
dividuals or companies by using SOL
diers to drive away workmen. After
the Juarez incident Carranza an
nounced that no permits would be
granted to drill until the companies
complied with the law. The state de-
partment said that the compliance
constituted recognition of companies
that the Mexican government owned
the lands. Carranza issued orders
to prevent drilling by military forces,
May 16.
Washington, July Forced to
abandon the plan to maintain large
naval force in the Pacific or to COM
mandeer enough fuel oil to supply the
new fleet, the navy department to-
day placed navy orders with west
coast concerns for sufficient gasoline
and fuel oil to supply the demands of
the large naval force recently ordered
to the Pacific
An effort was made recently to
get the fuel required by contract but
the prices. bid for the lower grade of
fuel oil required were almost double
those asked by contractors OH the
east coast, regardless of the consid-
cradle difference in transportation
cost.
Under the navy orders placed to-
day the west coast concerns will be
required to supply the navys de-
mands and to accept price to be fix
ed later after the navy department
has carefully investigated the cost Of
coast points.
The Petroleum department was in
structed by the Mexican war depart
ment by direct orders of Carranza to
use any force necessary to prevent
drilling without permit. Although
the lands on which the drilling has
been done were legally acquired by
the present owners. Thewar depart
ment transmitted the orders with
specific directions regarding the ac-
ton of soldiers taken at Tampico and
TuXpam. Immediately soldiers were
sent into the fields. 1t is not known
how many drilling gangs were driven
out of the oil fields by the soldiers,
but two have been reported and raids
have been made on camps of other
oil workers.
Ell Paso, July Joseph Quail,
field secretary of the National Asso-
citation for protection of American
interests in Mexico, said the order
preventing the drilling on land pur-
chased from individual owners in
Mexico by Americans is consistent
with the attitude of the Carranza
goverr.,ent toward Americans, and
Americans interests. The orders
disregards warnino issued the Mex
lean government by Lansn" through
Ambassador Fletcher in 1918.

Substitutes for Glass.

Europe to replace window glass, which
Is unobtainable. Cellulose films are

AIr current to Grade Coal.

An interesting method Of grading
fine coal by means of an air current
is in use at an English colliery. The
coal is delivered to the washery by a
bucket elevator and discharged onto
shaking screens. The grading appa-
ratus is fixed Immediately over the
delivery chute of the elevator, the
mixed coal allowed to flow over a
hinged weir plate. Immediately under
this plate is an orifice through which
powerful current of air is drawn
by means Of a centrifugal fan. The
size of the opening is capable of adj
justment by means Of q sliding plate.
The passing stream Of coal is brought
nearer to or kept farther from the
section by adjusting the hinged weir
plate, so that any desired proportion
of small coal can be drawn off. A
DETECTING plate is fitted into the re-
ceiver, which serves to throw the
larger pieces of coal to the bottom;
the fine dust, passing with the air
through the fan, is finally collected in
cyclone separators.

Sir Douglas Hsia,s Popularity.

The prime factor in Sir Douglas
Haig's great popularity among the
British armies was undoubtedly the
interest he always showed in the boy
soldiers. During the many inspections
In France it was the invariable prac-
tice of nearly all generals Kitchener
and French included-to hurry along
the ranks until they came to the old
soldiers with the rows of campaign
ribbons on their breasts. Sir Douglas
Haig always singled out the youngest
boys for his attention. You could see
them flush and stammer and straight
en- up with pride at being noticed by
the commander in chief. Nor did he
ever OMIT in these early days his spe-
cial word of thanks ito all those who
have left their benches, shops, and
Offices to help us professional soldiers
to see it through"

They have been attached, with their

which they fire to battalion headquar-
tiers across the barrage. The shell con-
tains smoke cartridge, and when it
falls the stream of smoke shows the
position so that the battalion signal

it up.

certain contingencies; it contains, how

YIELD BIC CROPS
Grain Seeds From Western Can.
ada Do Well in Ohio.
Demand for Them Is Bound to Add
( Value to the Land Of Our North
ern Neighbor, Now to
Be Had Cheap.

A large area of the land in several
counties in Ohio prepared for sp-ing
seeding will be seeded with Marquis
wheat-a spring variety. This wheat is
imported from Western Canada. It WIS
about three years ago that the first OF
this seed was imported into the States,
and the result, watched each succeed
ing year, proved that Ohio soil and
spring seeding was success. The
demand for the seed has now become
SO great that one of the largest seed
houses in the state, that has been pur-
chasing from Western Canada farmers
and importing 1t, has decided to- pur-
chase large block of land in that
country for the purpose of growing the
grain themselves. They will devote
a considerable portion of their West
ern Canada holdings to growing oats,
barley and rye. Their action is
strong Endorsement of the product. For
some time past considerable guam
tity of seed oats has also been import
ed. The prolific yield reported was
what probably gave an impetus to the
Introduction Of wheat.
II was found, though, after couple
Of years the quality of the oats, as
well as the yield. began to deteriorate
when grown seed was used, making It
necessary for fresh importations every
couple of years. 1t is possible that
the same experience may follow the
growing of Western Canada wheat. In
fact it is quite probable, and the Ohio
farmer will find it necessary to import
every two years.
With the success that has followed
the Ohio farmers experiments with
this imported seed it is possible other
states now growing winter wheat will
begin growing spring wheat. 1t may
therefore be taken for granted that
Western Canada, in addition to its
ability to produce hundreds of mil
lions of bushels of wheat possessing
the greatest percentage of gluten Of
any wheat in the world, will shortly
be called upon to provide the seed
that will be grown on the additional
acres in the United States that may be
devoted to spring wheat.
1t is well-established fact that the
further north any product of the farm
can be brought to a state of. maturity,
the more vigorous it becomes. This
has been proven in the grains that
have been produced in Western Can
ada; it has been shown in the devel-
opment of its horses, It's cattle, its
sheep and its hogs; also in its people.
The neighbor to the north, really has
splendid future before him, and
many years will not have passed be-
fore the lands that are selling today
at much less than their producing
value will bring prices more common
surate with their true worth than they
do today. Think of lands that yield in
their operation profit of from fifteen
to twenty-five dollars an acre year
selling at figures less than $40 an acre.
It does not require mathematician
to figure the percentage of profit. It
Is unfair to these lands to ask them
to continue these profits for long. So
1t Is safe to make the prediction that
in very few years they will place
themselves on. parity with other
lands that today produce less and sell
for much more.-Advertiseme

consumptives and about 100 on the do
nestle staff. Among those OF the con-
sumptives who caught the disease none
had any complications, and none died !;

proved fatal. Sir st. Clair Thomson
