BRITAIN E1L0NERATED
 BY HER SCIENTISTS

LONDON. Nov. 7.-BrltIsh mon Of science and professors have combined to frame reply to the German pro fessors who recently denounced Great Britain as the lnstigator Of the war.
 This reply silt8 out tue evidence of official documenta to prove Britain'a desire for peace. Among the more striking Dasaages are the following;
 Germany would very likely have pre- ferred not to fight Great Britain at this moment. She would have pre-. terred to weaken and humiliate Rus sia, to make iSeryia Q dependent Of Austria, to render France innocuous and Belgium subseryient, and then, having establiihed an overwhelming advantage. to settle accounts with Great Britain.
 When Germany proceeded to break, under our eyef, the treaty which we and she had both signed, then hesita- ton became impossible. Belgium had appealed to Great Britain to keep hor word, and she kept it.
 "The war on which we have entered is for us, as for Belgium, war of de- fonse waged for liberty and peaee.@

LEAD PRODUCERS
 MAY CUT OUTPUT

BOSTON. Oct 2S.--A curtailment in the United States lead production Of about 25 per cent of the normal yield has been inaugurated by many pro ducers as a result of slack demand and low prices
 The st. Joseph Lead Co.,, the largest independent producer has ordered a 25 per cent. cut in production effec- tive immediately. This company's yield runs up to between 75,OOO and S0.OOO tons annually
 Regarding the curtailment policy President Crane says Tn the early weeks of August 1t was hoped that the lead industry might escape ser ious trouble. During the past six weeks, however 1t has been impossi- ble for the st. Joseph Company to sell its product, even at the low prices prevailing. SO that 1t has been accu- mulating Q stock of unsold lead.
 Directors of the St. Joseph Co., and the Doe Run Lead Co., tan affiliated concern,) feel constrained, for the present at least to reduce the output % per cent. Instead of closing one quarter of the plant it has been de. cded to run five days a week instead of six. at all mines except two which will be closed down"
 The Cour d'Alene district of Idaho lis meeting the new conditions by lop- ping off materially from its tonnage. The Morning mine, Of the Federal Mining 6 Smelling Co.,, has closed down while other steps have been taken to increase this curtailment. The Stewart Mining Co., has likewise lowered It's production. The Bunker IHnl & Sullivan Mining Co., thus far has not adopted curtailment of i'm portance. The st. Louis Smelling & l Refining Co.,. controlled by the Ma tional Lead Co.,, will consider the sub ject shortly
 The American Smelling & Refining ! Co.,. Che largest producer Of refined lead In the country. controls but one mine, the Federal Mining Co., of Mis souri. The Smelling Co. has no con trol over the output of the mines whose product it buys under contract but it is understood that the low price has caused many of these shippers tc materially lessen their shipments tc | the smelters.-C Boston News Bureau]

SOUTH AMERICANS
 PRAISE U. S. A.

BUENos, AIRES, A. R.-Since the outbreak of the European war. the newspaper. La Prensa. has continued to praise the efforts of the United States to maiIltain peace throughout the western hemisphere.
 In correspondence Of the Monitor 1t has been stated how La Prensa, from being considerable of an antagonist to the Washington administration, sud denly had turned about when the A. B. c. conference at Niagara Rails proved the importance Of having the three South American nations take part in the mediation plan for Mexico.
 Recently, In Q leading editorial, La Prensa, said further: Now that the eifort of mediation has been crowned with success, 1t must be remembered that 1t was ratller the triumph of Pan- Americanism that IS to be celebrated, since 1t was on this basis that matters were brought 10 an arrangement, the United States leading the way. This example given by the northern repub- lie is an irrefrltable proof of tho sin cerlty of tho leading statesmen Of the northern nation when dealing with South America The United States re- nounced it's claims for satisfaction on account of the aTront and the costs of the campaign already set on foot. All that was asked was the granting of an amnesty for outsiders. who were com promised in the civil war. Complete liberty is left 10 Mexico in the settle ment Of her own affairs without any foreign supervision
 That paper so influential as La Prensa should thus square the situa- ton is considered important to the fu- ture good relationship between the American republics, and throughout Argentina the attitude of this journal is commented highly.-(Christian Sci enee Monitor)
