This master stroke was all between
the first little shadow of War on July
23d and the Declaration of War on
August 1st. BY that time the price
Of the precious chemical re-agent had
jumped 400 per cent. ...s..
The Day Was Won. EIrT
But the Gas-lighting Industry had
been saved.
Countless small investors IN gas
plants in every town had been safe
guarded from loss.
Continuance Of public gaslight had
been insured to all cities and villages.
The innumerable homes where the
soft mantle-light is an every night
comfort had been protected.
1t was a daring, and a mastery
stroke.
But it was the American brand OF
courage, which sees straight and acts
quick.
1t was Americas first answer to
Europe's merciless War: "You shall
not fstter American industry, nor
cause our people loss. You shall see
what Made-in- America can mean"
Thus, the First Act of this new
Welsbach enterprise, started by the
War, undertaken with American
foresight and quickness, has PRE-
SERVED a daily necessity to ALL the
People.
What Then.
But II that First Act was thrilling,
the Second Act, you will admit, is
amazing.
Act 1 was an example that our
proud old American spirit OF "go
ahead" has not lost it's nerve. Act
II. now shows the newer American
spirlt-that Advance brings with It
an Obligation; that big Advantage
should be made Mutual
For the weIsbach Company fol-
lowed it's brilliant Made-in-America
stroke with a notice OF a sweeping
Reduction in Prices.
That overnight emancipation from
and the simultaneous reduce
ton in prices make a story the like
of which has not been seen before in
American business.
Look back a minute.
The Welsbach gas-mantIes have al
ways been the standard Of high quail
ity.
Their prices, for the higher grades, |
have always been higher than those
Of other gasmantles: % because of |
their rare quality and higher cost of |
production, CD because they gave a |

MASoRS ON RIT1AL
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
New Orleans Star.



At the request Of various officials OF
the Masons OF the state Of California,
the knights of Columbus submitted to
them their complete ritual for a thor
ough examination with reference to all
Of the charges that are being circu-
lated against the knights OF Column
bus,
After q thorough examination, these
Masons made the following report:
I'VE hereby certify that by author
ity OF the highest officer OF the Knights
OF Columbus In the state of California,
who acted under instructions from
the supreme officers Of the order in the
United States, we were furnished a
complete copy OF all the work, cere-
monies and pledges used by the order,
and that we carefully read, discussed
and examined the same. We found
that while the order is in sense a
secret association, It Is not an OATH
bound organization and that its cere-
monies are comprised in four degrees.
which are intended to teach and IN
culca4e principles that lie at the foun-
dalton of every great religion and
every free state. Our examination Of
these ceremonials and obligations was
made primarily for the purpose of as
pertaining whether or not q certain
alleged oath Of the knights of Column
bus which ha sheen printed and widely
circulated was in fact used by the
order. and whether, If it was not used,
any oath, obligation or pledge was used
which was or would be offensive to
Protestants or Masons, or those who
are engaged in circulating document
of peculiar viciousness and wicked
ness. We find that neither the alleged
nj hAo
the remotest resemblance thereto in
matter, manner, spirit or purpose, is
used or forms a part Of the cere-
monies of any degree Of the Knights
Of Columbus. The alleged oath is
sou-rilous, wicked and HbeIous and
must be the invention of an impious
and venomous mind. We find that the
Order Of knights of Columbus, as
shown by It's rituals, IS dedicated to
the Catholic religion, charity and pa
triotdsm. There Is no propaganda pro-
posed or taught against Protestants
or Masons or persons not Of Catholic
faith. Indeed, Professionals and Masons
are not referred to, directly or in
directly in the ceremonials and
pledges. The ceremonial Of the order,
teaches q high and noble patriotism,
nsti1Is a love Of country, 1nculcates a
ESNCI OASC 4OA AcH eSAAA OAN0AS
the conscientious and unseldsh per-
'ormance of civic duty and holds up
The Constitution Of our country as the |
-ichest and most precious possession |
IF a Knight OF the order. We can find |
1othing In the entire ceremondals Of |
he order that TO our minds could be |
,htected to by any person.

THIS is a, War-Stor Of foresight
and prompt, daring.
The foresight of 1t began a
year ago. The sudden, courageous
action was a few weeks ago.
The Foresight.
A year ago, Mr.. Sidney Mason, the
president of the Welsbach Company,
declared: "a great War Is coming,
with Germany on ono side and Eng
land on the other.
"It may be soon, it may be later"
he said to his directors (and also to
members of Senate Committee
when the Tariff Bill was upl 'But,
it is inevitable; and when It comes,
EngIands fleet will stop our impor-
tations from Germany. We must pre-
pare"
Now, all the gas-mantles, which
have made gas the softest and
brightest light in the world, are made
from Nitrate Of Thoriurn. The Thor
ium ore comes chiefly from Brazil.
But the chemical re-agent which re-
duces Thorium to a Nitrate is made
in Germany and Austria. So the
Thorium ore has been sent to Europe,
which, in turn, has shipped the fin
ished Nitrate of Thorium to the
American manufa cturers of eastman
ties.
Thus, for all our gas-mantles we
have heretofore been dependent on
Germany.
The Effect of Europe's War On Our
Gaslight.
tgHere Is what war between Ger
many and England would do to
America" said Mr.. Mason.
FIRST. that war would ultimately |
stop the making Of gas-mantles.
SECOND, the whole gas-lighting |
would be at stake For this |
arrest of the supply OF gas-mantles |
would reduce the output of our |
American Gas Plants more than half. |
'Gaslight' now signifies gas-mantIe |
light, and nearly fifty-fiVe per cent. |
Of the whole gas output is burned |
through these nantes.
"Such a collapse in gas production,
all over the country, would menace the
American gas Misunderstanding in
vestments OF hundreds Of millions of
dollars, and the savings Of hundreds
Of thousands of small investors.
THIRD, it would mean that every

which uses gas Tin part or in whole

When the War came, ana the rsvo-

The Nade-in-American operation

price-reduction.
Danton, in the most porplsZ.ng

that Frances only safety was "to|
