MEXICO SEEKING CAPITAL
Recognition By U. g. opens Way For
 Foreign Investors

Recognition By U. 5. opens Way For
 Foreign Investors
 With both Americans and Mexicans eager to take advantage of the new relationship which has resulted with Americas recognition of Mexico, what will be the effect?
 In considering Mexico it must be taka1 into account that it is a coun- try nearly as large as the United States and divided into 2S states. Like our own country, it's greatest natural wealth is on the Pacific side, although the greatest population is gathered around Mexico City. The west coast states are not only pos sessed of rich soil, but contain many proved mining districts. Some of the mines have been producing for centuries, and yet show no signs of exhaustion.
 The fishery possibilities on the Pacific side are practically virgin and limitless, and this Is true of many hard woods in great demand in the United States and other coun- tries highly developed in woodwork ing.
 The west coast Mexican not only is adopting the customs and convent ences of his northern neighbors but IS eager tO COHtihuC thC pioSCSos Ilc is learning fast what the Americans are thinking and doing, and he wants to get in on it.
 Western Mexico realizes that there are two essentials to it's develop ment--capital and skilled labor. The precious metals are in the hills, the rich soil is here awaiting the applls cation of water, and there is a su- per-abundance of common labor, but money is needed for machinery, lay ing out irrigation systems and trans portation facilities. Efficient direc- tion and economic understanding must supplement the capital.
 These things are known to the west coast Mexican. Hence he is frankly inviting American capital to look over the dormant wealth of the west coast.-Morris M. Rathbun in the Los Angeles Times

FRENCH VIEW UNCHANGED
8y United Press

BY United Press
PARIS. Oct. 27.-The gulf separat-
ing the Franco-British viewpoint re-
garding German reparations payments
Is much deeper than Is generally sup.
posed.
Premier Poincare does not consider
his conditional acceptance OF the An
glo-Amer1can proposals for a commits
sion of experts to examine Germany's
capacity to pay as in any way con-
stituting deviation from his original
viewpoint.
In case the proposed commission Of
= experts concludes 1t is impossible for
Germany to resume reparations pay
ments in the near future, France will
not oppose revision of the dates for
payments provided In the schedule Of
May, 1921, a semi-off1cial statement
said.
France will refuse, however, to con-
sent to any change In the total
amount Of reparations which Ger
many has agreed to pay.
France insists the reparations COM
mission, which she controls. still must
remain the final authority on how
much Germany can pay.
France welcomes American CO.
operation in settling the reparations
problem, officials said, but indicated
at the same time this government
has no intention of abandoning its
expressed viewpoint, namely that no
reduction in the amount Of repara-
tions due from Germany can be con.
sidered at this time and that the
questions OF allied debts and repara-
tions are closely related.

10 bSnider Sergt. O'Connor reported to
headquarters that Mrs. Kafader had
told him Kafader was in Ohio.
An affidavit technically charging
Mrs. Snider with child neglect has
been filed. This, authorities explained,
was technically necessary before the
charge could be brought against Ka-
fader.
According to the story told authori-
ties, Mrs. Snider awoke in hotel at
Danville, ILL.,, Thursday morning and
declared the last thing she remem-
bered was standing at Sixteenth and
Illinois SITS, here. Wednesday after
noon. Hotel employees at Danville said
she was accompanied by a man who
registered as George Kafader. Ka-
fader later was traced to Indianapolis.
Sheriff Snider refused to discuss the
affair today.
"I wish the papers would lay of
this thing" he said. There has been
too much publicity"
When asked about the warrant he
said he did not know whether there
was a warrant.

as many as FIVE cars on this part of

At the Office of the city engineer

because of the rotting Of the iron
frame which supports the floor. The
piers and abutments are said to be
in good condition.
The age Of the bridge Is indicated
by iron plates on each end of the
