Chemists from

To Attend Meet

Washington, Nov. 29.--English
speaking chemists from all parts
Of the world. following the annual
meeting of the British Society OF
Chemical Industry. to be held in
Canada, are to meet in New York
next fall with their American
brethren.
According to the announcement
made by DR.. Charles l.. Parsons,
secretary Of the American Chemi-
cal society. this is likely to be the
largest convocation of chemists ever
held on this continent.
The Society of Chemical Indus
try OF Great Britain, which has
branches in every. quarter of the
globe. has several sections on Can
adian soil, including that in Mon
treal, which will be it's host. There
will be hundreds of delegates from
Great Britain and from other ma
tions where there are English
speaking chemists, as well as the
Canadian members. At the conclu-
sion of the meetings in the Domin-
ion the delegates from abroad and
many of their Canadian associates
will cross the border and 60 to

Society of Chemical Industry has
5000 members, while
the American Chemical society has
a membership of $500.
This Joint meeting is a direct
outgrowth OF the closer relations
which have sprung up among
chemists of Anglo-Saxon blood as d
result of the world war. The re-
search work of the chemical war
fare services Of Great Britain and
the United States established a
bond Of sympathy which is to be
further strengthened by the assem-

Huns Hoped
to Settle Rio
Grande, Said

j Mexico City, Mexico. Nov. 90
Mexico is still discussing the alleged
! secret treaty between the United
States, Great Britain and France.
and interests antagonistic to the
United States are making the most
of the prejudice inspired by Count
Reventlow's disclosure"
1t is the general belief among
those who are not blinded by preju-
dice or do not purposely close their
eyes that Count ReventlOw's inten-
ton was to discount expected reve-
lations concerning Germany's secret
negotiations with President Car
rama, which continued almost up
to the time of his fall.
There were. two secret treaties
with Carranza, it is said. One was
made when Carranza thought that
Germany would be victorious in the
war in Europe. This treaty gave
sweeping concessions to Germany
and permitted that country to make
the Rio Grande river as German as
the Rhine. Publication of the
terms of this treaty, it is asserted
by persons who profess to know,
sions issued by the Mexican govern
ment preceding that headed by
General Carranza.
Make Second Treaty.
The second treaty was made after
Germany was defeated, it is de-
clared and is merely a modification
of the first treaty. While the first
was prepared in the expectation of
days of German conquest,
the second was written to meet the
changed prospect. Instead of per-
the Germans to move to the
banks of the Rio Grande with the
pomp and noise of victors, the
treaty provides, it Is said, that Ger
mans may settle along the border
and take title to land there. The
plan was to fill up the country ad-
joining the United States with Ger
man settlers.
Under existing laws, foreigners
are not permitted to own land with
in zone extending so miles south
ward from the international border,
but this law was to besset aside in
favor of the Germans.
Preparations were being made
for German colonization at the time
the Carranza government was over
thrown in the May revolution. Even
now the colonization protect has
not been entirely dropped. German
interests have obtained large
amount of land in the northern
part Of Mexico and German colo
nists are being brought in as fast
as 1t is possible to do so under
present conditions.
