Years Work Required
To Restore Lens Mines
Pits Not Expected to Produce
Any Coal Before 1927,
Survey Shows

PARIS, Jan. 22.-Although all posi-
Bile efforts 80 reconstruct the war
shattered mines of Lens have been and
are being made, there is now no hope
that q single ton of coal will he ex-
tracted before 1921. In fact, the task
of bringing back Lens to it's former
prosperity Is so immense that it is not
expected the town and the mines
will return to anything like their
former state before 1928 or 1929.
Provided that the work can be car
ried on without interruption, it will
take all 1920 to clear the underground
workings of the debris with which they
we're choked by the Germans. Most Of
the workings, and all the deeper ones,
are flooded.
A plan for drawing off the water has
been arranged. The reconstruction and
repair Of the Tubing will be carried
out by German workmen, and the
cement for the purpose will be brought
from Germany. The pumping ont of
the mines is expected to take at least
three years. 1t is hoped that by next
year it. will be possible to extract coal
from the first galleries, which are only
500 feet deep, but it is not expected
that the water will be pumped out Of
the lower workings, which run down
to 1850 yards, until 1928 or even 1924.
The railways in the Lens district will
not be completely repaired till 1921.

Demand for Ceologists
Is in Excess Of Supply
Columbia Experiences Difficulty
in Filling Available
Positions

The demand throughout the country
for weltrancd geoloeists who have
an engineering foundation is so great
that difficulty is found in filling all the
available positions, according to Dr.
Charles P, Berkey, professor OF geol-
ogy at Columbia University The de-
partment Of geology at Columbia, Dr.
Berkey said, has been repeatedly told
that any man the department could
recommend would be accepted at any
salary named.
ut il not presumed" Dr. Berkey
added, that such a strenuous comb
nation OF circumstances is likely 10
arise again, but it still remains that
the demand for men adequately pre-
pared in applied geology for engineer
ing and mining and exploratory opera
tions Is larger than the supply. 1t
also is certain that appreciation Of the
Importance of critical and properly in
terprcted geological observations has
grown immensely in all directions, and
especially among the mining and civil
engineers and among mining and cN-
ploratory companies"
The science of geology has made
great strides in recent years, DR. Ber~
key said. due mainly to the develop
ment of men who became trained in
the knowledge OF geologic proces ses
and experienced in Interpretation of
the more obscure and confused evi-
dences of geologic relations" ~'s.

port still larger amount of grain than
$500, 900 tons. Much grain has been
Smuggled out Of the country to take
advantage of the high world market
prices and much is certainly being fed
to livestock.
No Restrictions on Poultry
Enormous quantities of poultry are
kept now by farmers. since meat in
that form can be brought to market
and sold without any restraints what
ever, and it is easy to see that much
wheat and rye is used as chicken feed
Poultry can be sold at three or four
times the price paid for beef and pork
under The governments system of con-
troll and eggs are thirty-fold higher
than before the war. 1t is not surpris-
irg, therefore, that persons who take
automobile trips across country report
seeing more poultry than they ever
saw befofe in their lives.
The government has committed grave
errors, its critics charge, in dealing
with the farmers; its measures amount
directly TO the discouragemen of food
production. Thus many farmers are re-
quircd to deliver beeves more rapidly
than they can replenish their herds;
hence these are being steadily de-
pleted.
The conclusion is, therefore, warranted
that the prospects Tor the German peo-
pie to feed themselves are by no means
bright. Equally unfavorable are the
prospects for getting food from abroad
owing to the great depreciation of
German currency, which has the effect
of raising all foreign prices at least
tenfold the prices ruling before the
war 1t is extremely doubtful whether
Germany will be able to continue for
long to buy supplementary stocks of
food abroad. It's means for paying for
it are not yet visible.

Special Dispatch to The Tribune

Special Dspntch TO The Tribune
OTTAWA, Feb. 7.-Canada deported
4e1 persons in 1919, 2O3 at ocean ports
and 2s8 at border points. There was an
increase of deportations at ports of So
per cent and decrease on the United
States border of % per cent. The
greater proportion in the latter case
was for criminality, 154 out of 28S.
Other causes for deportations at Dor
der points were: Insanity, 1s; drug
habit, ID; liable to become public
charges, 70; vagrancy, 10; immortality. 6.
How very strict Canada is becoming
with regard to the quality Of her new
citizens is shown in the remarkably
large increase in the number Of persons
rejected while trying to enter Canada,
both from the United States and from
Europe. At border points there were
rejected in 1919. 2O,211 persons, as com
pared with S,702 in 1918an increase of
1872 per cent. The principal causes were
as follows: Indirect passage, 1887;
lack of funds, 6,003; vagrancy, 37T;
likely TO become public charges, 26S;
alien enemies, 239; lliteracy, 144; Hut
terites, 71 aborers, 81; lost Canadian
domicilc, 102; insanity, 66; physically
defective, SO; prostitution, Sd; pro-
curers, 20.
Many Laborers Rejected
At ocean ports there were rejected
497 as compared with SO in 1918, and
of this number 420 were rejected as
being laborers. This large proportion of
laborers rejected is thus explained: In
June, 1919, there was an order IN coun-
Gil passed, which has been continued in
force by later order, debarring labor
of the skilled and unskilled class from
entering at Pacific ports. This is effec
tive against Asiatic immigration, and
practically all the reflections above men
toned were OF this class.
The 52,os4 immigrants sho came
from the United States to Canada in
1919 settled IN the various provinces of
Canada as follows; Maritime provinces,
1888; Quebec, 6,6l7; Ontario. l. 093;

AGRICULTURAL POSSIBILITIES
 TO WESTWARD

Dr. c. c. Georgeson, head of the Alaska experimental work of the de- partment of agriculture has returned to his headquarters at Sitka after inspecting the experimental stations at Matanuska and Kodiak.
 Both at Matanuska and Kodiak found the crops and condition of the cattle herds satisfactory" said Dr. Georgeson.
 "The grain at Matanuska is very promising. In fact, rarely have seen more promising grain. The spring this year was late and seed ing, therefore, was late and the growth rather slow
 BUILDING NEW BARN
 "The new barn we are building will not be completed until next spring though part of it will be ready to receive our new cattle this fall The cattle-a new breed in Al aska-are milking shorthorns which l purchased this spring from an Iowa breeder. They have been sent to Fairbanks and to Matanuska for breeding purposes.
 The Matanuska station is in charge F. E. Rader, a graduate of the Kansas State Agricultural College, and fine man for this pioneer work.
