BRITISH WOMEN TO INVADE U. S. FOR HUSBANDS, WARNING
By Associated Press

New York. September 1S.--Fjve thousand well-to-do British women determined to obtain American hus- bands soon will arrive in the United States. according to warning issued to bachelors today by Mrs. $. C. Seymour, of Camden. N. J.. who has just returned from Europe. Mrs. Seymour was employed by the mili- tary authorities to supervise the transportation of the war brides of American soldiers in different parts of Europe.
 She announced the matrimonial army of invasion had already applied for passports and would arrive as soon the present restrictions are lifted which Is expected to he on October 1.
 During her eight months abroad Mrs. Seymour arranged for the transportation of $500 war brides and 257 children, representing 22 nationnlities. She said 1JO of the brides were Cxecho- SlOvaks and that many more of the same nationality were 490 additional brides who are due to arrive here Monday on the steamship President Grant.

From what is known the admins tration instructed MT. Jouett to spend enough time in Mobile for the ascer- tainment of the terminal requirements of port having in mind the present operations and future possibilities Of the Warrior river. The engineer recom- mended the contraction of facilities for warehousing 25,o00 tons of coal for loading at the rate of 800 tons per hour and unloading at the rate of 25O tons per hour.
 From unofficial gossip it appears doubtful that the administration will carry out the recommendations of En- gineer Jouett. The indications are that G. A. Tomlinson is heartily in favor of constructing the terminal fla cilities but that NJ. J. Sanders hesi- tates in the belief that before such sgl enterprise is undertaken. coal opera tors of Birmingham shoula make diff nite guarantee that foal will proceed to Mobile in such voiyme as to warrant

the construction and the expenditure. It is said that such definite guarantee the operators cannot make, that all they can-vio is to pledge their very best effort based on their knowledge of the possibilities of the coal fields and the opportunities for increasing foreign trade. that coal in proper abundance bs produced and delivered
 On. account of the more or less secre- cy surrounding the fact that Jouett has studied the situation and made re- commentators, the congressional de- legation from Alabama has not taken q hand in the matter. It is regarded as probable however. that as soon as Mobile and Birmingham interests be- come aware Of the condition of affairs they will get actively in the fight and Alabama members will take the lead in plans to persuade the railroad adminis- tration to make the investment
 With proper terminal facilities, the commercialization of the Warrior will be 100 per cent perfect it is pointed out Without the terminal facilitiea operations will increase only by obviat- ing a permanent and serious handicap.

 Compilation of figures at relief head quarters here showed an exact total ot 3S6 known dead, with only a small per centage offadditional identifications.

 and British Firm

Washington, September 19.-Specific in stances of the forfeiture of oil lands in Mexico were presented today to the Sen ate foreign relations sub committee in- vestigating the Mexican situation, by |c.s H. Rathbone of New York, direc- tor of the Tal Veg Oil company, engaged more directly in transportation than Tn oil production, but subsidiary to the Scottish Mexican Oil company. an oil producing concern.
 On the property of the Scottish Mex icar. company, Mir. Rathbone told the committee. a Mexican organization. the Mexican National oil company. had brought in one well producing about 0000 barrels a day, and was sinking another The Mexican concern de- nounced the property under the terms of the different presidential decrees with provisions which the different, oil com panies- operating in Mexico at the ad- vice of the state department, have not complied.
 The Scottish Mexican company is a British organization, but becnuse a ma jority of the stock is held by Americans, >~N~ to the state department as well as to the British embassy.
 The state department, he added, had made representations to the Mexican government to the effect that the Amer
 can government did not expect the Mex ican government to pursue course re, sulting in injustice to American citi- zens.
 RIGHTS TAKEN AWAY Rathbone's testimony was preceded by that of Judge Amos l.. Beatty of New York, an attorney for the Texas com pany who gave seven cases in which his company had refused 70 atquiesce in the confiscation of it's land. ard as penalty had been refused the right to sink wells. In some cases the lands had been denounced by others. In one case. he said, well was being put down by a Mexican company. The attitude of fhe compan,es in re- fusing to agree to the confiscation oi their properties, Judge Beaty said. was in harmony with the state departments protests He added the oil companies in Mexico were determined to take no ac- fcou+s-uea mn Page T>yvO)

of that battle was the world championship.
Subsequently Paddy Ryan fought Cos.
for thc title and won. On February z,
1882, Sullivan defeated Ryan, and from
that tirno 90 he met scores OF aspirants
for the title, defeating them all until
March 10, 1858, when Charley Mitchell

Sullivan was undefeated until compelled
to bow to the supremacy Of James J.
