Washington, D. c., Aug. 6.-Ex-
President Roosevelt telegraphed Presi-

deepest sympathy for him in Mrs. Will

kilograms are arriving from all parts
OF the country.
House Expresses Sympathy.
The house in silence passed the fol-
lowing resolution presented by Repre-
sentative Kinkaid of Nebraska: "Re-

his hour of apprehensive sadness its

Washington, D. c., Aug. 6.-Because
of the seriousness of Mrs. Wilson's
condition, and because of the Euro
pean crisis, President Wilson has can
celled all agementS.
Although the physician said Mrs.
Wilson is slightly better, the presi-
dent remained within call.
Because of Mrs. Wilson's condition,
the White house was closed to WIS.,
itors. Her condition is better than
last night. She was conscious this
morning. The chief cause of her pres
ent critical condition is chronic kidney
trouble, according to DR.. Grayson.
The president went to her room this
morning before going to the executive
offices. She greeted him with smile,
patted him on the arm, and said she
had spent good night.
A Heavy Burden.
Conscious only at intervals, Mrs.
Wilson has been cheerful and has call
ed constantly for her husband. Every
moment that could be spared from
urgent official duties have been devot-
ed by the president TO his wife. At the
side of his constant helpmate and ad-
wiser, he wrote a letter of good offices
appealing to the European monarchs
to stay their conflict. From the sick
room he has been giving directions TO
the various department heads for the
relief of thousands of Americans
stranded abroad.
The press of domestic legislation.
the European war and the Mexican
situation and the furry over financial
conditions throughout the country have
weighed heavily on the president as
he has maintained his day and night
vigil
For several days it has been known
to those in close touch with the White
house that Mrs. Wilson was gravely
i'll and that hope for her recovery was
slight. The president himself has
clung desperately to the hope that she
might yet survive the crisis, but her
frail constitution, drained by months
of never-ending illness, has been un-
able to withstand the battle.

Resources of
American Mines.


American Mines people of this
country realize to
a greater extent the value of it's
mineral resources" says Franklin
X. Lane, secretary of the interior.
"Of an Importance second only to
that of the food supply" says Mr..
Lane, ''is the supply of mineral prod
ucts necessary to meet the require
ments of twentieth-century civiliza-
ton. One of the first effects of the
war has been to make US realize the
interdependence of nations in he mat
ter of food supply. Most of the coun-
tries now at war are dependent upon
importation of foodstuffs, and we have
cause for self-congratulation in the
United States that we are able to
feed ourselves.
What we have possibly not so fully
realized is that we are nearly as inde-
pendent in the possession of essential
mineral resource, and that the inter-
ference with manufacturing caused by
interruption of the flow of importa-
tions of many necessary raw mate
rials may be overcome almost wholly
by development of neglected re-
sources in our own country.
The main difficulties to be over
come are in the Encouragement of the
distribution system necessary to -
tablished this independence. Business
is established along certain we'll
marked channels, and usually follows
the line of least resistance. 1t has
been easier, and perhaps cheaper, %
import mineral products and mate
rials from other countries than to
go to the trouble and expense de-
veloping our own resources of the
same nature. Forced to the latter
course by the suspension of COM
merce with other countries, believe
that American enterprise and energy
will almost at once turn to the devel-
opment Of the native resources, rather
than permit production to lag and sup
ply to be diminished in any Industry"
