valley were thick with ErammA

ripping across the surface.
OF course there were no artes-
ian wells nor irrigation canals and
II was supposed that the elevation
was too great for potatoes or grain.

MANY VETERANS THINK
STATE is GIVING BONUS
Relief Board Says Thousands
Are Mistaken.

ALBANY. May 1.-THE volume OF ap-
plications for financial assistance that
has been received by the New York
Veterans Relief Commission from New
York State veterans of the world war
leads officers of the commission to be-
leve thousands of former service men
are under the misapprehension that a
State bonus Is about TO be disbursed or
that the relief to be distributed Is n
substitute for bonus.
Much confusion has arisen as to the
purpose of the Veterans Relief Com
mission said Col. II. j. Cookinham,
executive director of the commission.
"The impression seems to have spread
that the commission is handling State
bonus, such as was provided by the
bonus law OF last year which the courts
declared unconstitutional.
''Thc New York Veterans Relief Com
mission. now functioning through dep
uty commissioners one IN each Assem-
bly, district. has no connection whatever
with a state bonus. Its purpose is to
give to disabled unemployed veterans
Of the world war who arc in imme-
diate need OF funds with which TO main
tain themselves y sum sufficient to tide
them over until they can obtain cm-
ployment or secure the compensation
they are entitled to receive from the
United States Government To provide
for this temporary relief the Legislators
appropriated $1,000.000."

WASHINGTON. May 14-Equipment to
extend the radio communication scope
of sixty submarines from about fifty
to 500 miles has been purchased by
the Navy Department with savings in
engineering maintenance funds made
by engineering personnel afloat.
Another project in progress with
sfunds made available by the work of

material increase in the cruising
radius of the batteship fleet. with re-
sulting large annual savings in fuel
consumption.
New evaporators for the ships all
ready. have been contracted FOR with
engineering savings. and when in
stalled, largely by the work of the men
afloat, will give to the ships more ami
puror fresh water supplies and cut
down the annual fuel bill of the fleet
by hundreds of thousands OF dollars.

BUSINESS NOTES
AND TRADE NEWS
Lumber Demand Heavier
Fall Shoe Show Opens-Un-
cut Velvet Vogue.

Reflection of increasing building activ-
tiles is found in the steadily broadening
demand for lumber. says the Weekly
Lumber Market RcUiep Demand is in
excess of current production and sur
plus stocks smaller than normal. Ger
tain leading manufacturers have called
in their salesmen. Consequently mills
may be able to catch up on orders.
Prices of items in greatest demand are
being advanced and all quotations tend
to firmness. Furniture and automobile
makers and railroads are buying freely.
Supplies OF hardwoods particularly are
scanty. Hemlock and white pine manu-
facturers of the North and the East are
enjoying an increased trade. Altogether
the situation in the lumber industry as
whole is most encouraging.

Paris. May II.
With the Genoa conference on the
point of breaking up and attention con-
centrated on the arrival of j. z. Morgan
sion the French Bourse this week nat
urally maintained it's hesitancy. only
meager activity being shown in metal
lurgical and oil securities apparently by
spectators.
The shattering of the hopes for Rus
sia's immediate restoration, according to
some authorities. will prove costly to
numerous operators who have been in
vesting heavily not only in oil stocks
but also in Russian debt issues which at
the beginning of the Genoa conference
seemed likely to offer tremendous prof
its. Operators in these lines, however,
were not French, according to the best
authority but representatives of Eng
lsh. German and Swiss bankers. who
now stand to lose millions unless the ex-
pert commission can maintain interest
in Russian affairs while they are un-
loading their purchases.
The sudden halt in the exchange inn
provement is ascribed here to doubt
whether even Mr.. Morgans influence
viii induce American bankers to sub
scribe billion dollar loan to help Ger
many and incidentally France without
some sort of a pledge that the major
portion of any international loan be de
voted to meeting Frances external debt.
AS preliminary to Mr.. Morgan's visit
there is to be an investigation by French
bankers who during the next fortnight
expect to visit fifty American invest
ment bankers who it is believed will
provide valuable indications as to the
American viewpoint when relieved of
any political character, and the great
preparations which are being made for
the entertainment. of the foreign bank
ers while in France may be taken as
significant sign in American circles.
