RED CROSS TO
SHIP SUPPLIES
10 BUCHAREST
1 BUDAPEST.—Thousands of ions
of American medical supplies, cap
tured in Rumania by the Hungarian
army in 1917-1918, and recaptured
by the Rumanians upon their occu
pation of Budapest, will soon be on
[ their way to Bucharest, the Ru
* manian capital.
The supplies, consisting of a
trainload of huge cases, were ship
ped via Vladivostok in 1916, this
being the only route then open to
Rumania. Many of these supplies
belonged to the American Red
Cross, which was driven out of Ru
mania by the Austro-Hungarian in
vasion of 1917. The remainder were
sold to the Rumanian army by Am
erican drug firms.
j Despite the fact that typhus was
raging in Rumania at the time and
.these supplies were desperately need
ed by the civilian population, the
! Austro - Hungarians loaded every
case, particularly American instru
ments and hospital goods, on theii
'"booty trains," which left Bucharest
almost daily. Together with tliese
I supplies went the equipment of ev
| ery hospital and pharmacy in Ru
!mania, the population being left tc
! get along as best it could.
.! Upon the discovery of these sup
plies in warehouses in Budapest, the
part that belonged to the American
Red Cross was immediately tumec
over to it by the Rumanian army
Captain Melvin M. Knight, an Am
erican Red Cross man, of VS orcester
Mass, who was with the Rumaniar
armv, became custodian. They art
now being shipped back to Bucha
rest.

ON LARGE SCALE
BERLIN.—The use of the wire
less is to be widely extended in
Germany, in especial for the press,
if the plans of the ministry of posts
and telegraph mature. It is pro
posed to establish a collection cen
tral in Berlin, and wireless plants
in various wireless districts into
which the empire will be appor
tioned. For this year the construc
tion of 35 wireless stations and 50
receiving stations situated in im
portant trade centers is planned.
Germany needs such an arrange
ment, for its telegraph service is se
verely criticised, and in addition to
greatly increased prices, it is now
necessary to telegraph the simplest,
shortest message urgent—at three
times the ordinary rate. The wire
less will be expensive, but it will be
worth it to newspapers and business
houses to be sure of speed.
The German papers that comment
on the innovation are hopeful, but
| call attention to the unreliability of
| the wireless anji raise the objection
that anyone can pick up a message,
so that a paper having an apparatus
.might easily steal the news of an
other paper.
This is partially controlled by tha
fact that the wireless for the pres
ent is subject to the imperial min
istry of posts and telegraphs, and
no one may have a wireless without
official permission. A private plant
that misuses its apparatus will be
suspended immediately—if it owner
i is caught. The press message theft*
could be prevented, it is suggested
•by the proper publicity regarding
the offender. Circular dispatch?.'
will be a feature of the plan, where
jby the same bit of news can b<
,sent to any number of stations a1

! WASHINGTON, D. C_In formal
representations filed with the state
department, the Association of Pro
ducers of Petroleum takes issue with
recent declarations made in Mexico
City by Leon Salinas, acting head
of the Mexican department of in
dustry and commerce and chief of
the oil bureau of that department,
justifying the Carranza govern
ment’s attitude on the confiscation
question. Besides refuting state
ments made by Salinas, the petrole
um producers again charge that the
acts of the Carranza government
against which they complain are in
Violation of the laws of Mexico
itself and in contravention of the
accepted laws of nations.
i
| “It is admitted," says the state
ment, “that the question of propri
etorship of coal lands in Mexico and
jthe Spanish colonies was the subject
of contention; but nowhere in the
Spanish grants or subsequent ordin
ances of the Spanish crown was pe
troleum treated as the king’s patri
mony or the property of the nation.
If any contention did exist, it was
set at rest in Mexico by the mining
!law of 1884.
“Before this date, neither coal
nor petroleum had been developed
in Mexico at all; the law of 1884
simply cleared up a matter in ques
tion. From that time, therefore,
rights to coal and oil were acquired
under this law and the laws to the
same effect of 1892 and 1910. By
the expenditure of vast amounts of
money. American individuals and
j companies have given a value tc
these lands, relying upon the lawr
of Mexico. Their tenure was neve;
questioned; in fact, it was repeat
cdly ratified by acts of Mexicar
courts, and the Mexican govemmen!
has since 1912 continuously recog
nized rights so acquired under Mex
'iean law by collecting taxes upor
the lands and upon the product.
“The Mexican government's con
tention that a mere change in eon
stitutional precept (appearing in ?
! constitution which itself prohibit:
any retroactive legislation, whicl
precept against retroactive effee
was called to the attention of tin
ambassador of the United States
with an assurance that no law oi
constitutional provision would taki
effect retroactively in advance o
the presentation of his credential
in February, 1917) may operate tt
divest foreigners of rights legally
acquired, has been well answered by
protests of your department. Ir
harmony with such protests, tin
members of this association haw
taken a united stand and refuse
to be trapped by any of ihe exigen
cies of Mexican government decree
demanding the performance of act:
the effect, of which would be to ac
quiesce in the confiscation and ren
der the American protests nugatory
"Because we have refused to ad
mit the loss of our properties, tin
Mexican government has seen fit t<
refuse us permission to drill on oui
lands until we perform such acts o!
' acquiescence. The government ha:
gone to the extent of sending armec
forces to stop the drilling of a we!
on a property of a member of this
association, which member had, in
harmony with your protests, refused
to acquiesce in confiscation of his
property. In other cases, the Mexi
can government has granted rights
to third parties under mining claim

“You love my daughter?" said
the old man.
"Love here,” he exclaimed pas
sionately. “Why I would die for
her. For one soft glance from those
sweet eyes I would hurl myself
from yonder cliff and perish—a
bruised mass upon the rocks two
hundred feet below."
The old man shook his head, “l'm
something of a liar myself.” he
said, “and one is enough for a
small family like m’ne."
