.LAB0RED To Strengthen
THE TIES OF FRIENDSHIP
Former Minister Pichon Priced
Good Will of America, Great
Britain and France.

PARIS, March an Pichon, foreign
minister in the late cabinet Of Nj. BRAND,
responded to a toast at lunch given to-
ish correspondents. referred to the COM
munity of good will between the United
States, Great Britain and France.
During my long and difficult years as
foreign minister" he said, 81 have labor
ed constantly to solidify the friendship
between France, the United States and
Great Britain. I am not entitled to any
great merit in doing this, because how
could 1 have been blind enough to act
otherwise? There exists between Eng
land, the United States and France so
marked an identity Of aspirations and
solidarity Of interests that 1t would be
chimerical to seek to separate these
grand peoples, who aim ever at common
ends-liberty, social progress. democracy
and the maintenance of peace throughout
the world"
NJ Pichon, In concluding, affirmed that
his successor would continue to strength
en- the cooperative friendship of these
three nations.
The luncheon was arranged while NJ
Pichon was foreign minister, in appre-
citation of his invariable recognition Of
the place American and English news
papers have in the advancement of in
ternational good will. Toasts were
drunk to President Fallieres, President
Taft and King George. The guests in
cluded the American ambassador, Robert

SEARCH FOR POTASH DEPOSIT.
Geological Survey to Prosecute the
Work Next Summer.

Explora lions to determine whether the
United States has a practical deposit of
potash salts will be carried on by the
geological survey next summer. Potash
is an essential constituent of fertilizers
and there is an immense annual importa-
ton Of potash to this country. Last
year there was imported from Germany
nearly 1,750OO0.OO0 pounds. valued at
Su.615. 40. and in 1905 S.. 237 900 worth.
Now that the potash controversy with
Germany has become acute the United
States wants to find deposits of potash of
its own that will make it independent
The Department Of Agriculture has been
working on the subject for several years.
and IT Is intended, If possible, to put ex-
plorers in the field from the bureau of
soils. The geological survey already has
a specific appropriation for the purpose
and field parties are being made up now.
They have been accommodating data for
years and there is every scientific indica-
ton that there are potash deposits either
in the east wall of the Rocky mountain
chain or in the basin of the great plains
region.
There Is an immense amount of potash
in this country in the feldspar rocks
probably billions of tons, according to
biologists. This supply is locked up in
the rock formation, and while it has been
possible to get it out, the process is not
Yet a commercial success.

VETERANS PASS OUT

MANY YEARS IN SERVICE

ALDRICH HERE MOST AS LONG

MANY YEARS IN SERVICE
ALDRICH HERE MOST AS LONG

The passing Of veteran members of the
Senate, men who have been credited with
shaping it's legislative course for years.
accompanied the close of the session Of
Congress at noon yesterday. The thought
that these men, who have been SO con-
spicuous on the legislative firing line,
some for two decades or more, were to
disappear was uppermost in the minds
of many senators during the closing min
utes, and it gave a touch of sadness that
was manifest as the members parted
after the Vice President announced adj
journment 'Sine die"
The Vice President made mention Of the
loss of the familiar faces in his little
speech to the Senate just at the close.
That SO many Of the powerful figures in
the Senate have ever before dropped out
at one time is doubted by most Of the old
employees at the Capitol And they re-
gard the end of the Sixty-first Congress
as historic for that very reason, If for no
other,
