more hopeful.
While no official statements were
given out as to the nature OF the
discussions it WAS reported from gen
orally authentic sources, and never
denied, that one of the features of
the agreement proposed by the Next
cans was that American oil men
should purchase these Mexican Sc
ourities in the open market and use
them to pay their export taxes to
the Mexican government, the under
standing being that the securities
would be accepted by the Mexican
government at their par value.
Proposal Not Favored
International bankers looked with
disfavor upon this proposal, which
they considered would have meant
ecun'cnancing the Mexican govern
ment in the disregard of ITS pledge
To devote the proceeds of its ex-
ports and import taxes to the pay
ment of sinking funds on certain of
its exterior obligations. They also

placed them in the position, they con.

whom they sold the bonds at or near

While negotiations for settlement
were temporarily halted by Mr.. La

doned. Informal communications
passed back and forth between Mr..
Lamont and Mexican officials. Early
in April of this year it was an

white roses found resting places
here and there about the ceiling.

DETOUR
ON SHORE ROAD
Bridge Repairs Over MataWan
Greek at Report Cause
of Road Congestion

MATAWAN. April 17.-Due to the
heavy traffic to and from the shore
resorts yesterday. it became neces-
sary to again put the Cliffwood de-
tour in use. in order to handle the
automobiles desiring to reach New
York in the late afternoon and early
evening. The use of the detour was
made necessary by the fact that the
bridge over Matewan creek is under
going repairs and while this work
is under way,s traffic going in only
one direction car pass over the
bridge at a time. This means that
If traffic going north is using the
bridge, traffic south must wait until
all north bound traffic is over the
Structure before it a proceed.
At certain times yesterday, as
many as 500 cars were in line wait
ing to cross the bridge and in order
to keep this traffic moving it be-
came necessary to resort to the Cliff
wood detour. This detour since its
use last summer, has been put in
fine shape and many of the drivers
than wait for a chance to cross the
bridge. The road, although of dire
construction. is in a hard, smooth
condition and except for the dust.
is ideal for driving purposes. A poor
section of road is found. however,
in driving between Matawan and
Keyport, to connect with the con-
crete highway at Keyport, after go
ing over the detour.
Not only was the traffic TO Asbury
Park and Long Branch heavy yes
terday, but traffic through Matawan
to Lakewood and Atlantic City is re-
ported to have been the heaviest
Easter traffic ever known.

practices in dealing with the sugar
beet farmers of a French village.
The result was that some families
were reduced to poverty and starva-
ton. A young mother, seeing her
infant daughter die from hunger,
sought out Lebaudy and cursed him,
saying:
your sugar shall turn to gall; the
sweetness of your fortune shall turn
to bitterness for you and your chill
dren and your children's children
