Tribune: County Commissioner
Leroy Southwick was a visitor in
the city yesterday from Southwick.
Harvesting on the several hundred
acre farm of Mr.. Southwick was
completed Monday, fortyfold wheat
averaging % bushels, barley %
bushels and oats about IS bushels
to the acre.
Mr.. S0uthwlck stated that the
bean crop was doing splendidly. al
though the acreage this year given
to beans was greatly reduced from
that devoted to this product last
year. Beans are now bringing the
growers 5 cents a pound, and the
claim is made that to sell them at
less than 8 cents pound means for
the farmer to take a loss.

to tell the variety. but Mr.. McCon-

FRANCE is JOINING
Mexican Depredations
Basis of Demands
u. s, Held Re-
sponsible.
(By Universal Service)

WASHINGTON. - Great Britain
will shortly demand that the United
States collect more than one hun
dred million dollars in damages from
Mexico or pay that sum herself, it
was learned today. Her intention to
make this issue is known both to
the State Department and to certain
members of Congress.
The British claims are based upon
damages to and deterioration to oil
and other properties in Mexico, as
well as upon the murder of William
Benton, and various other British
subjects during the past eight years.
They will be followed by similar
claims from France based in large
part upon the speculation of certain
French banks in Mexico City and
their branch in other cities thru
Mexico.
In this connection, it is alleged
that the Carranba government
seized many rill:orc II gold from
these banks ard Slaoea It in the Nex-
lean treasury for the 7rowed pur-

tries, however, will be able to show
their tail flaps to their competitors
from France and Great Britain is q
matter of much speculation, for
great secrecy has been observed in
the trials of the British and French
machines. But it will take an air
plane which can fly faster than 220
or 225 miles an hour to do the trick,
however, for that is what the Ameri-
can planes have done in practice
fights, and it is possible, too, that
they have gone quite bit faster than
the speed announced.
The three American entries are
the Verville pursuit plane, repre-
senting the air service of the United
States army, piloted by Captain e.
w. Schroeder, holder of the worlds
altitude record; the plane of the
Dayton Wright company, piloted by
Howard M. Rinehart, and the Curtiss
airplane, representing s. E. Cox, the
Texas oil millionaire, piloted by Ro-
land Rohlfs.
The race is for the Gordon Bennett
trophy. The prize is $4,000 in gold
and a cup of equal value. France
won the trophy in 1912 and again in
1913 and then the world war put an
end to the contests. If France wins
this year it will retain permanent
possession of the trophy. tsx..
The race was first run at Rheims,
France, in 1909 and won by Glen H.
Curtiss as the American entry. The
second race took place at Belmont
Park, New York, and was won by
Claude Graham White, England, G.
T. Weyman, an American, won the
third race at Isle of Shippey, Eng
land In 1911, and in 1912 Jules We'd
rines, for France, won the fourth
race, there being no entrants but an
other Frenchman. Maurice Prevose,
a Frenchman, won the fifth race at
Rheims in 1913.
1t was in the early days of aviation
that a prominent airplane inventor
realizing that the problem of heavier
than air fight was largely a question
of motor horsepower, said: "Give
me the motor and l will make barn
door fly" And such has been the
development of airplane motors that
this years race will be literally
race of flying barn DOORS"

pose Of basing an issue OF currency
upon it. Much of this gold was af.
terward looted from the treasury
One prominent Mexican official alone
is said to have brought no less than
seven million dollars of it to the
United States.
The liability Of the United States
is based by Great Britain upon the
alleged fact that at the time Benton
was shot to death by Villa, she was
about to protect the lives and prop
erty of her own nationals when
President Wilson interviewed and de-
manded what to all intents and pur-
poses was a mandate over Mexico
from America.
On that occasion Great Britain
went so far as to send her own dip
lomatic agents to the border to in
vestigate but was persuaded to with
draw them by the promise that the
United States would be responsible
for the situation.
At the time Great Britain acquis-
ced, Ambassador Spring Rice stated
that she proposed to reserve her
rights" It is under such reserved
rights" that the British government
will now press it's claims.
That the United States is we'll
aware of Great Britains intention
was made clear today when an Of
fetal said this government is ready
with complete set of counter
claims. They are based on the large
part upon British depredations upon
American commerce at sea.
These depredations began with
seizure of the Standard Oil ship
Brindella, in 1914, and continued
without intermission until the Unit
ed States entered the war. At one
time no fewer than six hundred car
goes were at issue. One group of
seizures alone was valued at $685.
100000. Each was protested by the
State Department and Great Britain
was eventually notified by the Pres
ident that she would be held strictly
Tor her act. When the
controversy was at it's height, Amer
lea became a belligerent.
