this Englishman"
He was ever urging the tribes to
war, lying to them, pledging them
help. He came to my people, am a
Wyandot-often. He met my father
there in council, the one ever advocat-
ing war, the other counseling peace.
He failed in his mission to our people,
yet somehow my father liked him; per-
haps it was a pleasure to talk again
with one who knew Europe and the
late books. And the Englishman, hop.
ing thus to finally win my father over
to his side, was most cordial. He
played part that he might keep my
father on long Journeys to other
tribes, while he remained behind to
poison the minds of our own people.

ises to our warriors. Yet in spite of
all, the Wyandots remained at peace;

but there was no one here; the cabin

also. The Miamis told me a strange
story OF treachery and death at the
hands Of the Americans. l half be-

She was leaning back against the
table, holding herself erect by her
hands. Her story had been told swift
ly, interjected with French phrases
where English failed her.

Tor moment did the girl hesitate,
bending down and listening. Then she
led the way around a narrow point of
sand, pressed back some bushes, and
revealed the sharp prov of canoe.

the light craft down to the edge of the

Alabama's Iron Production

Notwithstanding the fact that dull
ness in the pig iron market ruled the
greater part of last year, Alabama
production was a record breaker.
This states total production was
2.O25 .378 tons. In 1912 the production
was 1,S34,770 tons, an increase oil
19O. .602 tons. A few years ago Ala
bama's iron output was thought large
when it reached a million and a hall
tons.
The greater part of the iron was
sold last year at comparatively low
prices-much of it below $11 on a
No. 2 basis. The iron market is now
improving. Large tonnages are being
contracted for, and it is probable that
the price will go up before the end
of this month to $12 for No. 2.
The Birmingham district, which in
the larger sense includes all mineral
Alabama, melts very large per-
centage of it's pig iron; and the time
will soon come when there will be
little merchant iron for shipment out
side of the state. The finished prod
uct is the thing.

General Buckner Dead

Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner, the
last surviving lieutenant general of
the Confederate army, who died at his
home near Munfordville, Ky, Thurs
day night, was one of the most gallant
and picturesque men this country has
produced. He was educated at West
Point and served with valor as
young officer in the Mexican war.
For meritorious conduct at the bat
tie of Churubusco he was breveted
first lieutenant, and soon afterwards
captain for exceptional gallantry at
the battle of Moline del Rey. After
the Mexican war young Buckner was
an instructor at West Point. In 1856
he resigned from the army. Shortly
before hostilities between the north
and south began he accepted the, Of
flee of inspector general of, Kentucky.
He was handsome, dashing man,
and was the idol of Confederate SYM
pathizers in Kentucky. He made an
effort to have Kentucky secede, but
the Union element was too strong to
be overcome by state-rights patriots
of the Buckner type. General Buck
ner was made brigadier general early
in the war; was promoted to major
general in 1868, and to lieutenant gen
eral in 1864.
General Buckner was governor of
Kentucky four years-18S7 to 1891
and was candidate for vice presi-
dent of the United States on the gold
democrat ticket in 1896. He was in
his ninety-first year, but until a few
years ago was in vigorous health. He
attended most of the Confederate re-
unions and never lost interest in his
old comrades in arms.
The distinguished warriors who
fought for the Lost Cause are rapidly
passing away. Appomattox is nearly
so years behind us, but ten years ago
reunion of the United Confederate
Veterans brought together several
lieutenant generals and many major
generals. Now the brigadiers are al
most as scare among the living as
eral Buckner will be buried today in
the historic cemetery at Frankfort
overhanging the Kentucky river.
Peace to his ashes!

OLDEST SETTLEMENT on EARTH

From the Christian Herald.
At last we are set down in the midst
of Damascus, a city that can claim life
without break from its founding back
in the dim dawn of the worlds history.
When Abram crossed the desert from
Haran 1000 years ago this city was
standing. (See Gen. xiv:15 and xv:20
She dates back to the time of the Phar-
aohs in Egypt; in fact, she was old
when Greece and Rome were striplings
in years. Rome may be termed the
Eternal CITY," but Damascus is twice
as old. and though her streets have
run red with blood of battle and rapine
many times, she has not been over
thrown.
Babylon is an heap in the desert
and Tyre a ruin on the shore" but
Damascus remains.
Was there such a place to see the
nations of the earth parading togeth
er? Here in the market place are
molly crowds of Persians. Moors, At
ghans, Indians, Egyptians, Sudanese
Jews, Bedouins. Druses, Turks, Euro
peans. The streets--so crooked, SO mar
row, so dirty so full of life, with that
strange spell Of the desert upon them
The residences as seen from the street
are ugly and disappointing enough, yet
like old barns and tumble-down mills
at home, are fascinating and pic
turesque.

Virgin Forests Will Soon Disappear

The once great virgin timber areas
of the United States are rapidly disap-
pearing before the onslaught of mans
ak, and when these areas have been
completely denuded of their primitive
growth this country will stand face to
face with one of the most serious
problems of the age.
In this predicament the American
people will have to find their timber
supply from the national forests, state
forests, or from privately owned
lands. There is but little comfort in
this really, for in recent address to
the National Conservation congress
E. A. Sterling, director of the Amerl-
can Forestry association, stated that
the timber upon either national, state
or private lands amounted to scarcely
one-fifth of the total forest area of
the entire country.
On private lands all that we can
look for in the way of timber in the
future will be either such growth as
has sprung up voluntarily upon cut
over land and has managed to escape
fire, or that derived from acreas which
have been devoted to forest production
as business enterprise.
So far the proposition of private
forestry has been confined to meagre
operations, indulged in more for pleas
ure than profit and the value of its
product is most insignificant. An in
tensive forest policy based upon a
scale of sufficient magnitude to estab-
lish its commercial feasibility has not
yet been undertaken and yet it is
the countrys only salvation for the
future.
We are morally obliged to conside.
the interests of those who are to come
after us, but Independent of this duty
the time of the scarcity of timber is
SO close upon our heels that self
preservation will shortly demand this
country's most serious consideration
rs to whence we are to receive our
wood supply. The result Of our prodi-
ral destruction of trees in the past is
now upon US and we must devise some
means for averting the calamity.

In the Huainens World

ut is gratifying, of course, to find
business improving in various parts of
the country said John c. Upham of
Chicago.
Business in my city is becoming
very brisk after the holidays, and the
outlook for spring activity could not
well be brighter. [ look over eastern
papers, and those that indicated eX-
treme dullness are now full of inter
views and news reports which go to
show that commercial and Industrial
inertia will soon be in the past and
forgot
There was lack of confidence in
financial circles last fall owing to pend

howlers were wrong in regard to bad
effects which they predicted. I am not
democrat, but l believe that this Un-

popular. AS for the banking and cur

measure of its kind ever formulated.

preston from time to time, but we will

men in the Birmingham district. Here
are a few paragraphs: =
The notable speeches and plans of
the Secretary of Commerce, Hon. Will
! liam C. Redfield. respecting the gov
ernment's efforts to assist our foreign
trade. are significant of the attitude
of our government toward the foreign
| commerce of this country, which has
grown to vast proportions during re-
cent years; the total of our imports and
exports for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1918. being s4,27s. .s62,3s3. with
an excess of exports over imports of
| $652, ,905.915
Although our foreign commerce, as
represented by the totals of our i'm
ports and exports, has almost quad
rupled during the last 40 years. the
relative increase in our exports of
manufactures has been very much
greater.
| THE large increase in the wealth of
the country through the excess of ex-
ports over imports, during the last 10
years at least, may be attributed to
the enterprise and industry of our man
ufacturers, which has enabled them not
only to maintain, but to increase, the
value and volume of our exports. in
spite of steady decline in the guam
tity and value of foodstuffs and raw
material which prior to that time had
formed the bulk of our exports. M
European manufacturers have been
engaged for many years in the devel-
opment and exploitation of foreign
markets, and our manufacturers should
not be discouraged If their progress Is
slow in the beginning, since an export
business, like any other, cannot be BULL

slant effort and attention.
