ARE SET BACK MANY YEARS
Frank n. Probert Gives First-Han
Story of Unbelievable Atrocities of
Huns in Destroying Industrial
Life of France and Belgium.

Washington. - Frank H. Probert,
consulting engineer of the bureau of
mines, department of the interior, and
dean of the College of Mining. Uni
versity of California, member of a
special commission to investigate the
damage done by the Germans during
the war to fhe coal and iron mines
and tho Steel works of France and
Belgiufi, after a personal investiga-
ton. has just returned to Washington
with a first-hand story of the almost
unbelievable atrocities of the Huns in
the destruction and wreckage of the
industrial life of France and Belgium.
So systematic and diabolical has been
this destruction in one great coal
mining region. Mr.. Probert says, that
it viii take at least five years to re-
habilitate this district and it will be
twelve to fifteen years before it gets
back to normal, prewar output. He
predicts that with the indomitable
spirit of France. in spite of the fearful
destruction TO her steel works, with
the return of Alsace and Lorraine to
the mother land, France will eventual
ly become the dominant factor in the
future steel industry of Europe.
Exploited by Invaders.
In a preliminary report to Van Fl.
Manning, director of the bureau of
mines, Mr.. Probert says in part ::
early in the war the German hordes
swept southwark through the iron
basins of French Alsace and Lorraine,
and for nearly four years this re-
nowned mining area was held and OK
plotted by the invaders. Many of the
employees were made captiveS and
compelled to work in the mines under
German direction. The international
boundary between France and Ger
many was drawn in 1871, to give the
victor of the Franco-PeIssian war con-
troll of the iron fields. but since that
time scientific development guided
by a better understanding of the local
geology, exposed for France great
er ore reserve at lower horizons than
that of the Lorraine annexee.
"The actual physical damage to the
iron mines is comparatively small
when compared to the destruction OF

Mr.. Robert Mead, about two miles
out on the Grand Avenue road from
Grand Junction was rather skeptical
to poisoning properties of whorled
milkweed until he fed some of it with
his alfalfa and lost a valuable horse.
The field from wrich this hay was
cut was badly infested with the milk
weed and Mr.. Mead decided to follow
the advice of the State Experiment Sta,
tion in getting rid of the plant.
Early last August the field was plow-
ed as thoroughly as alfalfa roots will
permit 1t was let lie until early in
September, when it was plowed again
and planted to winter wheat The last
week in June this year the wheat vas
cut. The yield was very good. An
examination of the straw showed prac-
tically no milkweed, and in the ground
not more than 10 per cent of the or
iginal sand is left. Mr.. Mead plans
to plow this field again in August,
and also in September if the weed
shows up. He will follow this treat
ment either with winter wheat again
or with cultivated crop next year.
The milkweed has been largely killed
out, and the use of the ground has
not been lost. =
