Bolivio's MetoI Attracts Reorninq World

sNS'VVsS vVSs"
 THE mineral wealth that at. A tracted the Spaniards to ex. plore the Andes 400 years ago still draws men to Bolivia. For tin, copper, silver, lead, tungsten and other metals are valuable to a rearming world.
 From l540 to l750 the Span. iards took gold valued at $2,000,. 100000 from Bolivian mines. To. day the annual production of gold is about $500,000, but other min. erals are assuming increasing im- portance. Bolivia produces one- fourth of the worlds tin supply, for example. An American com. pany controls 30 per cent of this output. Petroleum is another i'm. portant natural product.
 Chief center of this mineral wealth in Bolivia is the Potosi area. In an area of 57,O00 square miles, ranging in altitude from 5000 to 10000 feet, foreign capital is today mining everything from antimony to zinc. Here Germany and Great Britain and, the United States and Italy are vieing for control. Exports to the United States have increased sharply in recent years.
 But if the Andes are rich in minerals in this portion or Bolivia they lack other values. The cli- mate is severe, vegetation is rare. transportation is difficult. Curiously enough, a vegetable is to be found at an altitude of about 23.000 or 24,O00 feet. This is the yareta, resembling a huge mushroom without stem. It Is highly resinous and provides ex- cellent fuel One of the major mountain peaks of the Bolivian mining area is shown here on a 1916 stamp, Mt. Potosi.

new Nazi development in modern
warfare-was disclosed by British
sources as reports we're received OF
five more ship sinkings and as the
Dutch government protested against
Great Britains orders to retaliate
against Germany by seizing exports
of the Reich. Belgium also was ex-
pected to protest.
Two Nazi airplanes were believed
to have Sown sea mines in the
Thames Estuary last night, either
as an experiment or as part of a
broad program. taval sources said
they believed that the mines plant
ed by airplane had been responsible
for large part of the recent ship
ping disasters. A new form of mag
netic' mine also was blamed for the
sinkings.
Experts said they believed that
the parachutes dropped from the
planes dissolved in the water, per-
mitting the mines to sink to the
bottom. The parachutes presumably
were designed to prevent damage
to the delicate mechanism of the
mines, the British said.
One eyewitness who said he saw
the parachute mines sown by a Nazl
plane said:
"The plane was so close I coulc
see the silhouette of its occupants
heads against the dim light in the
cockpit. AS it flew past, there were
machine guns fired at it but it ap-
parently got away.
Il had seen it flying about sc
feet over the water, about 100 yard:
from shore and I saw something
splash into the water as the plano
went past me-"

Neutrals Continue Big
Losers in War at Sea;

BY JOE ALEX MORRIS
United Press Foreign News Editor

Nazi mines Thursday
boosted to % the number Of
ships sunk since Saturday
off the English coast and NaZj
economic pressure emerged in the
Balkans where the Rumanian cab
met resigned.
The Greek freighter Elena r,
French trawler on which nine were

er Geraldus we're the most recently
reported victims of the bitter sea
war that also sank the British
DESTROYER Gipsy with loss of about
10 men.
Neutrals continued to bear the
brunt of the conflict, with the
Netherlands minister reported to
have delivered to Great Britain an
oral message expressing grave con-
Germ of his government over the
British order for seizure of German
exports on the high seas. Dutch
shipping was drastically curtailed
due to the mine disasters.
Belgium also was scheduled to
make strong representations to
Great Britain as soon as the formal
British order in council is published.
The RESIGNATION of the cabinet of
Premier Constantin Argetoianu at
Bucharest, emphasized again the
dangerous position of King Carol in
the tug of war over the Balkans
and illustrated Germany's determine
ed drive to keep southeastern Eu-
ropean lines of supply open as the
best means of fighting the Allied
blockade.
There were official denials of
German pressure but it was believed
certain that a dispute had arisen
in connection with the presence in
Bucharest of DR.. H. Clodius of the
German economic mission seeking
to increase Nazi supplies-especially
oil-from Rumania. The Rumanian
minister of national economy. NJ l.

Inventor Explains
Magnetic Mines

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Nov. %.
(UP) - The mysterious magnetic
mines which have been blamed for
many shipping casualties off the
English coast are exploded by q
minute magnetic needle which is
displaced when attracted by the
steel hull of a vessel passing on
the surface, Alex Edvind Theodor
Bargstroem, who perfected the mine
weapon, said today.
1T is not necessary for the mine
to contact the hull of the ship
but experiments show that the mine
must not be more than 10 or II
yards from the surface to be dis
charged by the magnetic attraction
Of the average coastal ship" he
said.
''There is no danger in placing
the mines with ordinary mine layers
rs the needle does not fall into
place until the mines are laid but
the mines are placed best by a sub
