Colorado Zinc Into .
English Bullets.

The British Government, accord
ing to reliable reports reaching Den
yer from the east, has Just made a
large purchase OF zinc, part of which
was Colorado product England uses
zinc heavily in the manufacture of
bullets for the ARMY; lead is too soft
TO stand up under the velocity at
tained by the modern guh.
Zinc mining in particular in Col
orado, and metal in general, Is eN-
pectcd to receive decided stimula-
ton and expansion as the European
war is protracted.
Philip Argall, consulting mining
engineer of Denver said to a repre-
sentative Of the Commercial on this
sub ject: Belgium is very large
producer Jof spelter, and some OF the
the largest plants in the world are
in that country. Germany is also a
large producer; in fact, seventy per
cent of the spclter Of the world. AS
neither of these countries is likely to
produce any until the war ceases l
look for big advance in spelter.
/ think we will see &c spelter within
a week and 81 within a month pro-
,,;je.1 fI., xtr,r continues
"The effect of the war on silver
is more doubtful, but as gold is
always boarded in war time, forcing
silver into circ,ilat ion, think silver
is also bound to advance.

last year was worth 1892 ,0S0.-

KENYON FIGHTS
Canal PURCHASE
Outlook for Success of Leg
iSlatiOn Not Favorable at
This Time
SALISBURY
FOR THE BILL

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.--The fli-
buster in the Senate against the
River and Harbor Bill was yesterday
in the hands Of Senator Kenyon, Of
Iowa, who for several hours made
the Chesapeake and Delaware canal
appropriation his target Senator
Kenyon read from the report OF the
Agnus Commission and from the re-
port made by the Senate committee
which last winter investigated the
obligations Of the canal company and
deduced from his reading that the
Senate needed more information.
Senator Ransdell Of Louisiana, and
Senator Salisbury of Delaware, in
sisted that the government now had
all the information Il could ever ac-
quire regarding the canal.
Mr.. salisbury claimed that as a
war measure alone, the purchase Of
the canal would be profitable for the
canal would be as valuable to the
United States In time of war as the
kiel Canal is to the Germans.
Senator Kenyon then took another
attitude. He claimed that the provl-
sion in the bill authorizing the Sec
retary of War to institute condemna-
ton proceedings virtually committed
the government TO the purchase Of
the canal at the price fixed by the
jury of condemnation
Senator Salisbury insisted that the
governments petition TO the court for
condemnation proceedings left it op-
tional with the government TO buy the
canal at the price fixed, but Senator
Kenyon and Senator Norris insisted
that the canal company would very
probably demur TO condemnation pro-
ceedings which were merely in the ma
ture of a "fshing expedition" to ascer-
tain the possible price of the property.
Senator Salisbury said that he be
lieved fair price for the canal would
/ be a capitalization on the basis Of or
per cent. of the earning power Of the
canal. The stock of the canal com
pany, he said. was worthless; the bonds
undoubtedly had a value. Mr. Sauls-
bury protested that there would be no
obligation on the part Of the govern
ment 70 take the property at a price
which Congress was unable OF unwill-
/ ing 10 pay. II could not be necessary
for the govern, .ent TO allege that IL
needed the canal as a public necessity.
but merely that II desired 10 acquire the
property. Senator Burton retorted that
I under such circumstances the canal
company would refuse to acquiesce in
the condemnation proceedings.
Mr.. Kenyon's principal objection
seemed TO be that the revised PROPOSE

modiately proposed TO the Powers
that she be permitted to rush her
troops to rescue the beleagured
foreigners The Kaiser put his foot
upon the Japanese overture and in
sisted that unless he was satisfied
that Japan's action would by no
means interfere with the interests
OF other nations he could not con-

The German Government, for exam

German Prince who was by Japan's
special courtesy allowed to accom-
pany the army to the front, was
found secretly reporting to his

Wireless aids IN
THE WAR CAME
German Army Corps Use
Portable Outfits on the
Battle Field
MOTORCYCLISTS
CARRY EQUIPMENT

BERLIN (by mail to New York; ,
Sept 16-Portable wireless tele-
graph outfits have proved a boon
10 the German armies in the field.
These outfits have eliminated the old
field telegraph systems, which we're
so tedious to lay and which, when
strung through a hostile country,
we're so easily cut and put out of
commission. Only along permanent
ly established lines of communication
are the lines laid for telegraphic and
telephone purposes.
In other countries the armies have
not solved the problem of portable
wireless equipments. They are still
cumbrous and far from easily ham
died; they also do not always give
the service needed, and are easily
put out of commission. The short
range equipment carried by the Ger
man field forces can be transported
by a mOtorcyclist 200 miles a day
Long range equipment can be car
ried 30 miles in "a hours by a man
and a horse. The short range in
struments will send and receive over
an average of thirty-five miles, where
the country is not hilly Larger
sizes will carry a distance Of 1876
miles unless the topography of the
country interferes.
The instruments can be set up and
ready for transmission Of messages
within fifteen minutes Of their ar.
rival at any point. They can bS
taken down and made ready fol
transportation in from eight to ter
minutes.
To return to the matter of trans
porting the equipment it might b'
added that in country where neither
horse nor motor propelled vehicle
can travel, it is carried by men OF
specially constructed bamboo "stret
chers."
The regular wireless crew" con
sists of seven men and two officers

employed in setting up the equipmen
or dismantling il, and the two Off

The lower joint is formed of a Soc

II the ground is too rocky TO per-

of the crew who are nos generating
electricity or sending, hold the mast
IN position by means OF the guy

The aerial is very lngeniously de-
vised It consists of a number Of
bronze wire conductors Tadiating out
like the ribs of an inverted umbrella.
These are accurately balanced and
coUnterpoised. and the radiating
wires are attached to insulators fas-
tened near the bottom of the mast.
For sending purposes dry batteries
of a special make are supposed TO
be used. but in case these are not
available a small dynamo, coupled
, to a pedalling arrangement, forms
part of the outfit.
With this a man can easily drive
( the generator at speed of 1900 tc

wave length is about 364 metres. with

Why and How Japan Joined
England
X. K. KAWAKAMI
Author Of ~Aa Door," Relations etc

With the dispatch of the Mikado's
ultimatum to the Kaiser there seems
to have been started in this country
a movement aimed at the alienation
of American sympathy from the
Japanese. The contentious of those
who regard the Japanese move with
disfavor resolve into these three
points:
First-Japan thrust herself into
the war without England's invita-
ton.
second-Japan has territorial am
bition in China.
Third-Japan wants to get even
with Germany.
Sympathy and loyalty for my ma
tive country impells me TO express
myself on these points. The first
contention is not only unwarranted
but false. Japan did not join hands
with England without England's re-
quest When It became evident that
England must come TO tho rescue OF
France and Belgium, the press OF
Japan, without exception. hoped that
Japan would not be called upon tc
aid her Western ally. But the West
ern ally did call upon Japan.
On August 3. that is, the day be-
fore England declared war on Ger
many, the British Ambassador tc

News of this, the first victory to
French arms, was quickly circulated
throughout this city. The streets
were quickly filed with rejoicing men

with French, English and Russian
colors entwined were formed. The
