OUR POTASH STlRS GERMANS
Berlin in Lively Discussion Over Re-
cent Announcement Made by Sec
rotary James S. Wilson.

enthusiastically Wilson's an
nouncement that large quantities of
potash have been discovered in the
western part Of the United States has
provoked a lively discussion in cir
cles connected with the great German
potash syndicate. The possibility that
the future prosperity of Germany's
one great natural monopoly will be
affected is the subject of anxious
speculation. Representatives of the
syndicate are seeking to quiet the ap-
prehension, declaring themselves skep-
teal as to the correctness of Secre-
tary Wilson's information about the
presence of potash in the United
States in paying quantities. They af-
firm that it is yet to be proved.
Newspaper organs of the syndicate
publish long arguments to show that
even If the mineral were obtainable
in the western states it could not
compete with German potash, owing to
American high freight rates. 1t is
recognized, however, that loss of the
American market would be stagger-
ing blow to the syndicate, as the
United States is by far the heaviest
consumer of it's output.
AS one reason for not attaching i'm
portance to Secretary Wilson's an
nouncement it is stated that the Ger
man government, long before organic
ing the syndicate, itself caused an eX-
animation of possible American potash
fields to be made and reached the con-
clusion that there were no deposits
large enough to be worked at profit
