COL. ROOSEVELT ON MoNDELn.

Attention has been called to Colonel RooseveIt's opinion of representative Frank W. MondelI of Wyoming, whom Republicans have shosen for leader of the House in the 66th Congress, as expressed in his autobiograph
 On the subject of conservation, Colonel Roosevelt wrote that men desirous of stealing the public do- main'' often resorted to the courts to nullify the decisions of the Secretary of the Interior. and that 1t was by opposing this method that public lands were protected. Of a, bill giv- ing the courts direct appellate power over the Secretary of the Interior, Colonel Roosevelt wrote:
 "The bill was favorably reported by Mir. Mondell, chairman of the House Public Lands Committee, a Congress- man who took the lead in every meas ure to prevent the conservation of natural resources and the preserva- ton of the national domain for home seekers. Fortunately Congress de- clined to pass the bill. It's passage would have been a veritabIe calam- ity.''
 Again he wrote:
 My active interference was neces- sary to prevent 1t Gone of President Roosevelt's conservation measures) from being made unavoidable by an undue insistence upon State rights. in accordance with the efforts of MT. MondelI and other Congressman who consistently fought for local and pri- vate interests as against the interests of the people as a whole"
 Republican Leader Mondeu's record in support of the McLemore resolu- ton and against the selective draft act Is still fresh in the public mind

China's Riches Consist in Her Ma

No man has computed them There is enough coal in the one province of Shansi to last the entire world for some hundreds of years. China. has also great iron mines. The copper mines of Szechwan and Yunnan are very rich and many make China the greatest copper-producing nation in the world. She is now producing a large amount of antimony. There are possibilities of gold and silver in North China and in the mountains of eastern Tibet.
 There are even unheard of possi- bi1ities in Chinese agriculture. Their land is constantly enriched and irrf- gated, and after 5000 years the Chinese farms still average from two to four crops a year.-World Outlook for April.

Strike and Forfeit
 sFifty-Fifty" Shares
 of Auto Co. Profits

Toledo, O., July 2s.-The profit sharing plan put into effect six months ago by the Willys- Overland company has been abandoned, but employees who remained at work during the recent labor disorders there will share in the first profit of the conipany, according to the latest issue of the Overland News, the com pany's official organ.
 It is declared that through their demands 5000 workers forfeited their chances of 'fifty-fifty" share in the profits and compelled 5000 others to do likewise when they de- manded 45 hour work week instead of AS hour week.
 Two persons were killed and a number injured in rioting that con- tinued several days after the walk out. It is declared the strike caused a company loss that will have to be overcome before a profit can be figured.
 After an armed guard was main tained for several weeks, the dispute found it's way to the United States district court. Several radicals were ordered from the city and others given jail sentences.
 Conditions now are virtually nor nal, the company says.

AMERIcAN nFAn
 IN FRANCEL|E
 WITH COMRADES
Less Than OOe-half of One Per Cen Unidentified, and French
 Care for Graves.

New York, July 28.-Less than one half of one percent of the American soldiers who died on the battlefields of France were buried unidentified according to Col. Joseph s. Heron of Cincinnati, commander of the 15,OOO troops who inferred the fallan Amerl' cans, and who returned here today.
 The men under Colonel Herron's command, removed the dead from the temporary graves dug for them under fire or at night on the field where they fell and laid them to rest in large concentration cemeteries.
 Each cemetery is surrounded by g painted fence and the grass on the graves is kept green and cared fol by a detachment of soldiers left or duty as caretakers. The largest graveyard is at Romagne, where lie 22,000 Americans, who died in the Argonne and Mouse sectors, and the next largest is at Thiau- Court, where 4,300 soldiers who fought at Saint Michiel and Foul are buried.
 Wanted to Rest Together.
 "We did our york;" said Col. Her ron, Gin accordance with the express eU WlSHeS Ol CHc lllcIl OI CIio IA. ". The remark most frequently hearc when the business of getting killed was spoken of was the hope that if the fellow talking got it he woulc be buried with the others of his regi- ment or division who also fell anc close to the battlefield or on it."
 The advisability of bringing the American dead back from France was questioned today by Baron Estourn elles De Constant, member of the French senate, who sailed for France after a brief visit to this country Baron De Constant, referring to the proposed removal of the war dead o1 the allied countries, said:
 "I would say Wait We French have great respect for the dead, ano there is not French mother or father who does not look upon the American dead in France as their own sons anc their graves will be so honored. IT this time of confusion, it would no1 wise to attempt to remove the dead There would be terrible mistakes made. In any event, it is wiser te wait until times are more settled"
