THE ARMY NEEDING
 IMMEDIATE RELIEF Secretary Root Made Strong Plea to Senate Committee LARGE FORCE IS NECESSARY If the Extra Men are Not Allowed at Once, Many of the Philippine
 Islands Will Have to Be
 Abandoned.
LARGE FORCE IS NECESSARY

Washington, December 22.-At the last meeting of the Senate committee on mili- E tary affairs the proceedings of which were made public today, Secretary Root made a strong presentation of the necessity for immediate legislation for the relief of the army. He stated broadly that if Congress did not at once increase the army in sub stantial accordance with the recommenda- tions of the War Department the United States would be obliged to abandon large portion of the Philippine Islands and civil government already established If the present garrisons are withdrawn from cer- tain portions of the island the municipal officials, mostly Fiipinos, will be left de- fenseless, with every prospect of being de- prived of their lives and property and at the same time the United States will be disgraced.
 Thus he argued, that it was necessary to produce the quota in to properly adjust the military organizations to the new con- ditions created by the incerase of mum bers.
 I've don't any of us,' he said, "expect that for any considerable period an army of 900 men will be maintained, but for an army of 6O,0OO men the provisions have been made sufficiently clear"
 With reference to the matter of staff de- tails the secretary said that he was con- vinced that the control of the permanent staff departments in the city of Washing ton is an evil that ought to be remedied, and that 1t was highly important for the army that there should be interchangeable service between the line and staff. Secretary Root devoted considerable at tention in his testimony to the army can teen, urging that it was a great means of maintaining the morality, health and disci- pline of the troops. He pointed out that the post exchange is a club where the men get together to read, talk and smoke, play | ing checkers and other games, and drink , ing under such natural restraints as the | place afforded A prohibition of the can | teen would not enlist if they knew what l they were going to be confined in reform l school

HIGH GRADE NoN-BEssEMERs
The Maximum Possible Output Of this Grad
OF Ores Known.

The Maximum Possible Output Of this Grade
Of Ores Known.
Much has been said in trade Journals
and in the papers OF the iron district OF
Superior about the future OF high grade
bcssemer ores, the general conceusus oI
opinion being that while much ore will un-
doubtedly be found on the old ranges,
1t will not increase the present computed
maximum output any for the reason
that the present mines have passed or
are fast approaching the zenith Of
their output and future discoveries will
simply make up for the deficiency in the
output of these mines. 1t il generally
| conceded that this is SO and il may be
said that the possible output OF high
grade bessemer ores from the Superior
district is known.
But what OF the high grade non-bes-
semers OF which the ores Of the Crystal
Falls district are standards? IL there a
probability of an increase in their pro-
ductionY We helieve not and We base
our belief upon the results OF explor-
ations and mining in this and the Iron
River district during the past ten
years. There have been some new
discoveries OF ore in this district during
that time but, from confidential iufor-
nation We have received regarding the
underground conditions of mines that
have been producers in the past, we
doubt II the new ore found will be sufii.
c'ent to take the place OF decreases in
The output of present working mines the
coming season. or course there will he
u great increase in the output from the
Iron county mines the coming season
but that Increase will come from mines

mixing with the low phosphorus ores
of the Mesabi or IN the manufacture of
steel by the basic process. uf course
we are dealing only with the strictly
high arnde ores. OF the leaner ores
there IN "a plenty. At almost any paint
in the great Crystal Falls belt ores
running from 20 to so per cent IN iron
can he fouud in great quantities but,
like the similar class of ores in the
bessemer grades, they are not wanted
to any great extent. The question H.
how long before they will be in demand?
A German iron manufacturer, who
visited this range q few yours aga, WAS
much surprised TO learn that scarcely
any attention WAS being paid TO the
low grade ores. He asked promisent

PROMOTION EXERCISES.


; The First of it's Kind in the Crystal Fall
Schools and They Highly Successful
: Prof. Hill and his very able corps @
teachers deserve great credit for the
, manner in which their pupils acquitted
themselves mt the promotion exercises
last Wednesday afternoon. The object
OF promoting pupils ut this time of the
year was fully explained in these
columns last week by Prof. Hill and we
need not GO into that matter here.
There were no exercises in the high
school the highest grade having exercises
being the eigh tn grade presided over by
Miss Penglasc. The selections here
were from David Copperfeld and Miss
Pcnglase must have done great deal of
work with her pupils for they did their
work very nicely. A play taken from
David Copperield was one OF the princi-
pal features OF the exercises. The pupils
who took part in this play were Harry
wills, Murdie Mcdonnell, Bessie Holmcs
Bertha Johnson. Mary Morrison and
Joe Karl. 1t is seldom that pupils of
their age excel the work which they did.
In the seventh grade, presided over
by Miss McEncroe the exercises were
of "A miscellaneous character consisting
ni rec tations from different authors in
terspersed with songs, etc. Every
pupil OF the twenty-six that took part
Ia these exercises did remarkably well.
and Miss McEncroe was the recipient OF |
numerous congratulations for the ex- |
cellent showing her pupils made. Twenty |
six pupils were promoted.
The exercises OF the sixth grade, Miss
kowley's room. were taken from
whittier. The little folks did their work
nicely. Only the members OF the A
division took part in the exercises those
ia the j division having had their inning
last Thanksgiving. All the pupils
were promoted.
Miss Munns promoted Iorty-one pupils
and her exercises were equal to any OF
the Others. They were OF "A miscellaneous
all Of the children acuuittinp
themselves very creditably.
In Miss Guleren's room the exercises
were very unique. Everyone, Including
lroi. Hill had been wondering what
figure tlnt grindstone which the bows
Iugged into her room, was going to cut
IN her exercises. 1t developed that she
had trained n couple OF pupils TO
'xempify Franklin's story Of "The Man
With the AK To Grind" and they did
Their part IN way that reflected erent

% pupils were promoted
Miss Conlin promoted fifty puuils
Her exercises were OF miscellaneous
some of them being very
unique drum solo being one Of the
after.
Mrs. Medler's exercises were excellent
md the same can be said OF Miss Marie
lyslop's and Miss Maxims. The
pupils are little tots in these grades and
takes a great deal al patience and
md hard work To get them trained as
hey were last Wednesday. Mrs.
