A WAR STORY OF
AMERICAN ENTERPRISE

Passed by the Censor)
This is a war story of foresight and
prompt daring action
The foresight Of it began a year
ago. The sudden, courageous action
was few weeks ago.
The Foresight.
A year ago, Sidney Mason, the
president of the Welsbach company.
declared: "A great war is coming,
with Germany on one side and Eng
land on the other"
"It may be soon. or it may be
later, he said to his directors Cand
also to members of senate commit
tee when the tariff bill was up.
But it is inevitable: and when it
comes, Englands fleet will stop our
importations from Germany We
must prepare"
Now, all the gas mantles, which
have made gas the sortest and
brightest light in the world, are
made from nitrate of thorium. The
thorium ore comes chiefly from
Brazil But the chemical re-agent
which reduces thorium into nj
trate is made in Germany and Aus
tria So the thorium ore has been
sent to Europe which, in turn has
shipped the finished nitrate of thor
ium to the American manufacturers
of gas-mantlos
Thus for all our gas mantlcs we
have heretofore been dependent on
Germany
The Effect of Europe's War on Our
Gas Light.
Here is what war between Ger
many and England would do to
America" said Mr.. Mason;
First. that war would ultimately
stop the making of nantes.
Second, the whole gas-lighting in
dustry 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-mantle
light, and nearly 81 per cent of the
whole gas output is burned through
these mantles.
Such collapse in gas produc-
tiOn all over the country would
menace the American gas industry
involving investments of hundreds of
millions of dollars and the savings
of hundreds of thousands of small
investors.
Third, it would mean that every
municipality, either city or village,
which uses gas Gn part or in whole)
for public lighting. would suddenly
be up against darkness in the
streets, or else the costly installa-
tion of electric light systems, with
higher taxes.
Fourth, it would mean that every
American home, in which gas
mantles now make a light as soft
and brilliant as the day, would be
suddenly robbed of that common ne
cessity. Nine out of ten of all who
now use gas for lighting would be
driven to electricity, with its higher
cost
wherefore" he argued, "the Wells
bach company ,at least. must be
prepared for the eyentuality of Eu-
ropean war"
There was the propositions Pre-
pare.
The first step in this preparation
for the effects of this inevitable war
was the gradual collection of i'm
mense lots of thorium ore. Enough
of it is now piled in the space be-
hind the factory to supply the coun-
try with nantes for many years to
come.
1t needed but the chemical re
agent, made in Germany, to reduce
it to the essential base from which
the mantles are made
This is the story of long foresight
