Deaths from Total deaths

During this period, according to the
reports received, 3,737 deaths were
caused by pneumonia and 4,12l by in
fuenza. The average mortality from
pneumonia in the corresponding quart
er Of each Of the previous eight years
was 600, and for influenza was only %.
Thus, eliminating the normal mortality,
the total deaths due directly to the
epidemic were approximately as fol-
lows: Pneumonia, 3,137; influenza,
4,099; total, 1886.
The report of eases of influenza for
the quarter was very complete.
Health officers reported 10000 eases,
an excellent showing as to reporting
considering that for a part of the period
no provision had been made in the vari-
Gus localities for reporting such eases.
The following tabulation shows deaths
from pneumonia, and total deaths from
| all causes, in cities over ten thous-
and population during October, No

demic was most prevalent:

U, s, FRENCH IN FRANCE

Jonah Vark" some call the Maid of Orleans. Still others -, but that is the story. French as it is spoke" is a weird and wonderful thing among American soldiers in France, but they are rapidly developing into linguists. An American troop train bound for the front had stopped in a city of France. The soldiers were light artil- lerymen. Their guns, cunningly paint ed in the latest style of can1ouflage, ! were blocked on flat cars, each car bearing an escort of Tanks. Other cars were laden with caissons and l show" wagons, while a number Of box cars scattered through the train housed vet more oliye-drab fighters. ! The whole outfit was jubilant that thei. .g,ining days were over and they were at last on the way tyWhere their grim pets could bark defiance to the enemy Cheers and shouts rang to the station roof and the French waved
 back and wished them bon voyage. Whats the name of this place " yelled the soldiers. But the passen- gers didn't understand the query. In a few minutes Q Y. M. C. A. man came into view and the fuestion was howled at him.
 Orleans" he replied You've heard of the Maid of Orleans? We'll, this is the place."
 "The Maid of Orleans? Oh, you mean Joe-Anne of Arc" spoke up the
 historians of the party.
 "Joe-Anne of Arc. Where do you
 poor fish get that stuff, anyway? Have you been in France three months 1 and don't know how to pronounce a
 simple name? It's John Dark" and the soldier speaker leaned back and 1 lit acigarette with flourish indicat-
 ing that the amazing ignorance of his
 companions bored him insufferably.
 But the opposition had numbers, if
 not knowledgs, on its side, and the
 superior one was quickly buried under
 barrage that had him grasping.
 We're talkin' about q lady, not a
 man." was the chorus.
 Fall off and wake up! Who ever I heard of a girl being called John!" was the final clincher.
 Then the diplomat of the party chimed in.
 What difference does it make how you pronounce the name?' he queried.
 Wasn't she the girl that stood the
 invaders of France on their beans, And ain't We on the way to do the same thing ?''-Cordova Times.

Cotton

Further recovery took place in the
cotton market yesterday. with the buy
ing for May delivery especially active.
A good part of this demand emanated
from spectators, who had previously
sold for the decline, but at the same
time houses with Liverpool connections
as we'll as brokers acting for various
trade interests bought.
May contracts sold up to 2f.54. an
advance of ~ points and closed at 81 20.
The top price represented an advance
of $3.50 bale from the low quotation
touched Friday Net gains for other
deliveries ranged from 43 to SO points.
The removal of restrictions on the
use Of money by Wall Street houses
led to the expectation of larger trad
ing in cotton as we'll as stocks by the
customers of leading firms.
The French Commission was credited
with buying March contracts and SELL
ing for May and July delivery, pre-
sumably transferring hedges to the
later positions. The volume Of these
transactions was large enough to sug
gest that good deal of cotton is held
in this country awaiting shipment to
France. When the tonnage is avail
bic it is expected that the cotton will
be moved out and the hedges covered.
Traders could see little in the goods

CarranZa Refuses
Big Oil Company
Permit to Drill
Foreign Owners of Mexican
Properties, Fearing Con-
fiscation, Are Expected
to Appeal to Washington

nat American oil trade interests he
lieve to be the first definite stem toward
complete contiscation Of foreign-owned
OIL properties in Mexico has been taken
oy the Carranza government in refus-
ing to grant a permit to the Huasteca
Petroleum Company, the largest pro-
queer IN Mexico and the operating end
OF the Mexican Petroleum Company.
Ltd, for drilling new we'll on it's
property in the State of Vera Cruz. At
the same time an application made by
lhe company to have the matter placed
oe1ore the Mexican Federal courts for
review has been refused, it is stated.
Men close to the operating situation
IN Mexico asserted yesterday that the
present policy. of the Carranza govern
ment. If persisted in, means fight to
the finish between the American and
other foreign oil producers in that
country and the Carranza regime. 1t is
understood that the Mexican petroleum
interests are already considering Law
partment at Washington in hopes of
having pressure brought to bear upon
Carranza. Edward L. Doheny, head of
the Mexican Petroleum Company. held
long conference yesterday with the
company's counsel at the local offices.
The latest action of the Mexican gov
eminent, taken despite the vigorous
protests of all the foreign producers in
the republic, is accepted by local oil
producing interests to mean that Car
rama intends to carry through his plan
for the naturalization of the oil and
mining industry in Mexico. Carranza
has long been trying to compel the oil
producing interests operating in that
country to recognize the government as
the owner of all sub surface rights.
The oil interests have refused to do so,
and the crisis which has developed
through the refusal to grant a drilling
permission to the Huasteca Company is
the result. The government gives as
its reason for refusing to grant the
company right to drill the fact that the
latter has not complied with the de-
crees issued by Carranza requiring the
filing of an application for license to
operate.
Other foreign oil companies are said
to have been refused permission to drill
on their properties, so that the pros
poets are that unless Carranza is forced
to back down all new development work
in the Mexican fields will be brought
to complete standstill.

Relevant Comment
With the Market Set Free

Those who came down to Wall Street
yesterday looking for buoyant rise in
prices as a result Of the removal of the
money market restrictions were dis
appointed. What happened was this:
Prices generally advanced at the open
ing and some sharp gains were re-
corded in issues in which there was a
large short interest. But after the
shorts had covered their outstanding
lines the demand slackened and prices
eased off again, the range of prices at
the close being more or less irregular.
United States Steel common, which has
been heavily sold for the decline for
weeks by traders who regard it as
peculiarly vulnerable to bear attacks,
furnished some pyrotechnics at the
opening, when 10000 shares changed
hands at SO to 81, or q to q points
above Fridays closing. But afterward
the stock languished and it sold finally
at 919s, net loss of Y point for the
day. Approximately 10000 shares Of
Steel common were traded in, while
the total transactions for the day were
