Pursuit of Mexican bandits by the American punitive expedition la continuing south from the point In Mexico where an American camp has been established, U was announced today. The trails are not considered "hot" however, and H-B the bandits hnvn roorhod tha moun tain fastnesses. It Is feared they have escaped. Two forces of trnnni. Puminia fcA erals operating far to the south and ifuuencan cavalry rurtner north today .re scouring the Concilos river region of Mexico, in an endeavor to clear that section of bandits who precipitated an expedition Into the southern republic by capturing and holding for ransom two American armv aviators. Five known dead bandits was the net results of the expedition at the beginning of the fifth day of operations below the border.

Rumors of further hsnrlH rant and bombing strongholes which found circulation at various times yesterday proved unfounded, but the possibility of using bombs in wiping out bandits developed with the arrival of aerial bombs for experimental purposes and an announcement that these might be used If a bandit .force-should be found In any considerable numbers. No Information came from the expeditionary forces yesterday except word brought here by aviators that the pursuit of the bandits still was being conducted.

An im portant step toward the adoption of a measure tending to prevent clashes between Mexico and the United States was taken Thursday night when Luis Cabrera, secretary of the treasury, and generally regarded as the mouthpiece of the present administration, stated In a press interview that the Mexi can and American governments should sign an agreement for a reciprocal bor. der guard service. Ygacio Bonillns, Mexican ambassador at Washington, according to Senor Cabrera, would be "eminently fitted" for conducting negotiations with this purpose in view, since he was a member of the Mexican commission which met United States representatives at Atlantic City in 1916, to discuss this plan during the Pershing expedition Into norther Mexico. Senor Cabrera, himself, was chairman of the Mexican commission. Want Quick Salution. According to the secretary the difficulties which prevented the adoption of such an agreement at Atlantic City were due to the fact that the American delegation wanted the agreement signed immediately while the Mexi can commission held out for a withdrawal of the Pershing expedition before reaching an agreement. Senor Cabrera pointed out that at present such a difficulty would not be met with, since the early withdrawal of the Eighth cavalry now pursuing bandits in the state of Chihuahua was expected. Comment In official quarters tended to point out that "with reciprocal border service to eliminate further clashes with the present government, bending every energy to protect foreign property and with congress about to take up the oil question, the case of Mexico should be solved quickly."

KOLCHAICS FATE DETERMINED IN NEXT 30 DAYS Umsk Uovernment racing X"V w Crisis. Declares Ambass-J ador Morris. (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Aug. 23. Ambassador Morris, who was sent by the State Department from Tokio to Omsk to report on conditions In Siberia, has advised the government that the next thirty days will probably see a crisis in the affairs of the Kolchak government. Ambassador Morris In his report it was learned today, asserts that Admir al Kolchak has had to devote bo much attention to the military campaign against the Bolshevik that he has been unable to organise sufficiently the civil government and administration in Si beria to keep the people contented, but never-the-less Kolchak is the best man for the task confronting him and that It is a question of his success or the triumph of the Bolshrvikl. Lack of material aid from the allies has been a tremendous handicap for ft.oicnak, the report states, and this has led to friction between the mili tary commanders of the Kolchak forces. Admiral Kolchak has called on nia omcers wnom ne cannot replace because of lack of others com petent to lead the armies, to sink their differences for the sake of the country and is endeavoring to make a deter mined stand on a new line more than 100 miles west of Omsk. His forces are small, numbering not more than 200,000 men the ambassador advised and their equipment is not adequate. Predict Soviet Collapse. Miltary authorities in Paris and here however, agree that the Bolshe vik! are making their last desperate cnort against the Kolchak troops and if they fail this time the soviet government In Russia will collapse. Officers here say that the Bolshevik! have not enough men or munitions to handle the situation on more than one front at a time and this Is the reason Denekins finds it a simple matter to advance in the south at this time when the Bolshevik! have concentrated their forces on the Omsk front. Recognition of the Kolchak government, If It succeeds in surviving the Text thirty days, has been urged by Ambassador Morris, it is understood. To make this recognition effective it is understood the ambassador has urged that this government be reading to assist in the negotiation of loans for the Siberian government and to dispatch additional arms and munitions and later food and clothing. The ambassador also recommended that experts be 6ent to Siberia at the same time the food and clothing is ditpatched to aid in the distribution of it and to lend such assistance for the establishment and maintenance of civil government In the various sec tions of the country. 8 RUNS IN NINTH SCORED BY CINCY; WIN FROM PHILLIES PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 22.

SILESIA SITUATION TO BE INVESTIGATED (By Associated Tress) BERLIN, Friday, Aug. 22. An interallied mission will leave this city for upper Silesia within twenty-four hours and the Polish commission which has been conferring with German government officials will return to Warsaw and make a report. This new development was the outcome of precipitate action by the Poles, who on Wednesday interrupted negotiations with Germany claiming the upper Silesian situation was such that further deliberations were impossible. It was evident that this action came as a surprise to entente representatives here. General DePunt commander of the inter-allied commission expressed the view that the German government had sole authority in present upper Silesia. It is not expected that negotiations with the Poles will be resumed until after the inter-allied commission had reported and its findings are accepted as final until questions involved in the occupation of upper Silesia as well as other disputes are settled by a plebiscite. In the meantime the German government has agreed to moderate military measures now being enforced in the region and to discontinue executions.

CARRANZA HOLDS TO STAND UPON OIL QUESTION r : t ,

Confiscation of Foreign Prop erty Favored Wants Mexicans to Develop Industry, (By Asscxhhted Press) ' WASHINGTON, Aug. 13. Officials here are somewhat disturbed. It was learned today, by an apparent dat minatton on the part of Carranaa thls official advisors In Mexico City to oonflsoate the oil property of foreigners in chiding Americans, In spite of the protesta lodged with the Mexican government by all the nations whose nationals have Investments in Mexico. Tha public declarations by Mexicans close to Carranxa have expressed the president b stand on this matter which publio opinion, official and unofficial alike, except for the Carranzists have deolared to be vital. The opinion of all classes in Mexico, as reported in the Mexico City newspapers and transmitted to the state department, la for a prompt and correct settlement of the petroleum question which has been to be the key to relations between the United States and Mexico. Newspapers and citizens especially tnose of the educated class, according to reports to the state department, urge that because of the recognised danger of intervention Mexico at least protect foreign Investments even if she cannot stop the murder of foreign citizens. Need Foreign Caoltal. Don Carlos Dufoo, the eminent Mexican economist, asserted that foreign capital is absolutely neoessary to the development of Mexioo's resources because Mexicans have not the capital to put Into the extensive enterprises and would not invest it if they had it. In the fact of these demands now made publicly and declared to be im perative, Carranza's official circle has no notion, it Is said, of protecting foreign capital In Mexico. This is borne out by the following official statement recently .made by Ing F. Vasquex Schiaflino, chief of the Petroleum bureau of the department of industry, commerce and labor: "The steps taken by the petroleum bureau have followed a program whose main points may be summarized as follows: Mexican Interest Urged. "To engage in a work of propaganda and diffusion of all data relating to the petroleum industry so as to interest national capital and to invite the attention of Mexican Industrials, professional men and workmen, in order that they may play an active and im portant part In the development of this industry making it in a short time, as essentially and. genuinely Mexican industry." r--official" statement which it is believed here was inspired by Carranza coupled with the advice of Luis Cabrera, secretary of the treasury, urging the supreme court to be in no haste about considering the petroleum cases now before it has aroused great lnterst In official circles here. The petroleum cases now before the Mexlean supreme eourt are there on the advice of the American State Depart ment which asked the American oil companies to conrorm to all the requirements of the Mexican law step by step from the lowest courts to the highest courts in the land.

COMMISSION TO APPROVE $50,000 HOSPITAL FUND County Tuberculosis Institu tion, for 30 Patients, to be Built by Bond Issue. Members of the county board of commissioners will approve of tha plans brought before the commission ers Saturday morning, for the com pletion of the Wayne County Tuber culosis hospital, according to a statement made Saturday by one of the commissioners. Under the plan proposed, the county will appropriate 950,000 for the pur pose of completing a hospital unit to accommodate 30 tuberculosis patients. Dr. J. M. Bulla, county health of ficer, Will Romey, representing tho Richmond Commercial dub, and John W. Mueller, county engineer, present ed the proposed plan to the commissioners Saturday morning, and ob tained their approval. Under the new scheme, the county will inappropriate the money, amounting to approximately $20,000 already In the hospital fund, and will make a bond issue of from $30,000 to $40,000 for the remainder of the expenses In connection with the new institution. Considerable Interest has been shown in the attitude of the commis sioners toward the new hospital, and it was considered for a time that the best plan would be to hold any build ing operations on the site proposed for the hospital, over until next year. For 30 Patients. The new hospital plan calls for a single building of two wings, which will accommodate thirty patiemts. The building will be one story high, and will Include a heating plant, laundry, kitchens and dining halls for both patients and attendants, and a sewage disposal plant. ...... The building is so arranged, that as the demand for space and accommodations at the hospital Increases, the hospital may be enlarged by the build ing of new cottages, allowing plenty of room for the growth of the institu tion. Owing to the fact that the time limit for advertising the appropriation has expired, for the next meeting of the county council, it was impossible to raise any money from the general tax fund, and the commissioners decided to ask for a bond issue to cover the appropiiaton. COMMERCIAL CLUB TO FIGHT FURTHER WAYNE TAX RAISES Members of the Rchmond Commerc ial club will appear before the state board of tax commissioners next Tuesday, at which time the tax assessments of Wayne county will be taken up by the state board, In an effort to prevent any further increase in the assessment of property values in Wayne county. According to information received from the state house by several county officials and members of the Commercial club, a further flat increase, which may run as high as 25 percent. Is being considered by the state board for Wayne county. This increase if made, would mean a great injustice to the taxpayers of the county according to county officials, who assert that the county is now practically assessed at its actual cash value, and any further increase would mean that the taxpayers would pay taxes on more property value than they actually possessed. At a recent meeting with the state board, County Auditor Howard Brooks pointed out to the board that the real esate assessments in Wayne county were practically the actual cash value of the land, and In some instances the assessments were higher than the ac tual sale price of the land, as shown on real estate transfers. Wayne's Rates High The board, at this meeting, told the county auditor that Wayne county's assessment rate, per acre was greater than in any of the adjoining counties, although the local officials were told that last year, the actual value of land in Randolph county was $20 an acre more than in Wayne. This year farm land in Wayne county is assessed at $130 an acre, while Randolph county's assessment is $129 an acre. Fayette, Henry, Hancock and Union counties all had assessments which were much lower than Wayne. "The state board also kicked on the personal property valuations In Wayne county, as compared with Lake and St. Joseph counties In the northern part of the state," Brooks said Saturday. "The corporations in Wayne county, however, amount to only $3,000,000 where the big corporations such as Studebaker, Oliver Plow Works, and the big steel mills up there boost their personal and corporation valuations much higher." Wayne county's personal assessments were given a big Increase last year, and the county was one of two in the state, according to Brooks, that boosted their personal property as sessments to any extent,

One third is made in the United States from wood grown in the United States. The former proportion is steadily increasing and the latter is steadily decreasing." Nearly all of the American newsprint manufacturing is located in the northeastern states, half of it in New York," the senator continued, "but in the Pacific northwest Washington, Oregon and part of California, and the inland empire of northwestern Montana and norhern Idaho are great forests that have no more than been touched by a few pulp mills in this section of the country."

Immediate steps to bring about the practice of forestry and the conservation of forests in the pulp-producing regions, to the end that the annual Inroads upon the forests will be lessened and eventually will be no more than equal to the annual growth.

Work Should Be Allowed "A man should be given the privilege of working If he wishes, and particularly In an instance such as this, where he has a large family to support, and I intend to see to it that this man, and any other ward of the court, who has been ordered to work and support his family, is able to do BO."
