The French ministry has ordered
that the seedlings shall be located in

known sites with the view that such
future forests shall remain as a mon

Kansas City, Mo-, December B.
Robhing government trains is a dan

postoffice inspector here in charge of
the Kansas City district. Mr.. john
Ston admits that registered mail rob-
heries have been in distinct vogue
recently, but he insists that they do
not really offer the opportunity to
get rich quick that those who at
tempt them believe exists.
Rather. says Mr.. Johnston. they Of

killed or sent to prison quick Then
he rocites the fates that have over
taken many mali bandits.
They all get XII. ed or sent to
prison in the long run he remarks.
"and usually 1t isn't such a very
long run either
Kobbing the mails, the veteran
postotfice inspector says, probably
will be less attractive than ever since
the government has stationed marine
guards on trains carrying valuable
mails, and provided escorts of devil
dogs for mail truck and guards for
rooms where mail is handled. The

Voters See Big Republican
Landslide IN South Bend

Guesses and predictions on the
outcome Of the approaching NUM-
cipal election show a wide diver
gence. judging from the speculations
put forth by those participating in
the straw voting at the Coal Service
Co. The highest prediction for the
republican ticket Is that Ell F. See
Dirt will win by SSH votes. This
Is made by a second ward republl-
can.
A first ward democrat estimates
that the republicans will be victori-
GUS by 2.207 count while a second
ward democrat rates Frank Bilinski
as winner by a margin of 500.
A sixth ward resident declares in
his prediction that that ward will not
go sOlidly democratic as has been
customary In years past but will see
many republican votes, the specula-
ton being that % percent Of the
votes in that ward will vote for the
head Of the republican party.

Bill to Control Packers
To Be Rushed i'm House
Friends of Measure Unable to
Understand Lack of OppOsi.
ton From Meat Interests

From The T7ibunes Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, May 29.-No time Is
to be lost when the House convenes
Tuesday in passing legislation to con
troll the meat packing industry and
stockyards. Majority Leader Mondell
is planning to take advantage Of tbs
slight opposition to the measure and
cut debate as short as possible in order
that the House will be ready to re-
celve the peace resolution before the
end Of the week.
This lack of opposition has caused
considerable surprise among propo-
pents of the packer bill. They are
unable to figure out why the "big FIVE
apparently has lain down. One sup
position is that passage by the House
is certain and the packers have DE-
it will do no good. Another is that
the pending measure has SOME serious
defect in it which the packers knoi
about and which may render the Law
worthless once it is enacted. Still
third is that the packers are going
TO accept this measure without 8 seFl-
Gus fight on the theory that contestirg
it might result in more stringent reg
ulations.
Senator Norris, chairman Of the Sen
ate Agricultural Committee, said TO-
day he will call the measure up u
the Senate as soon as the Naval Ap-
preparation bill is disposed of.
When the House meets Tuesday it's
expected to begin reading the bill ,!
sections and disposing of amendments
under the fve-minute rule. Chairman

AS the position of the Federal Re-
serve system is steadily improved from
week to week by importations of gold
and reductions in rediscount opera
tions, it becomes increasingly apparent
as call money rates hold firm that
member banks remain more intent upon
paying of their Indebtedness at the
central institutions than supplying
credit for stock market speculation
The reserve position Of the New York
regional bank Is the strongest in nearly
three years indicating much easier
situation all around, yet borrowers in
the call money market continue to pay
eha to 7 per cent for accomm odation and
last week paid as high as 7h, the peak
rate since early In February, when s
per cent was quoted during period of
stringency.
New-York tribune., 1921-05-30

The latest statement Of the Federal
Reserve system, consolidating, the re-
ports of the twelve banks, reveals the
interesting fact that the progress made
by member banks in paying off their
borrowings at the central institutions
has been principally in advances against
United States government obligations.
Discounts secured by government paper
a@the end Of last week in the country
at large stood at s793, 3,951 900, compared
with $1,447,962,00O year ago. Dis
counts Of commercial paper, on the
other hand, were slightly augmented,
standing ct $1,076,305 900 against ST.
OH, 100000 year ago. These figures
indicate that, while the member banks
have made substantial progress in re
ducing their borrowings, they still have
far to go in liquidating their loans.
The gain Of approximately $500,O00,OOo
in the gold reserves of the system dur
ing the last year has been the most po-
tent influence in strengthening the
credit structure.
