WAR AFFECTS STEEL INDUSTRY
Foreign Manganese Supply Cut Off for
United States

A serious phase OF the interruption to
commerce eansed by the European war
| is the shutting off of the foreign supply
OF feIromanganese from the steel man
iufaeturers of this country. The United
States geological survey states that the
domestic marketed production OF fer
lromanganese and spiegeleisen in 1912
and 1918 was 227 1889 lozg tons and 226,-
| ATS long tons, respectively, while the inn
ports of these allows for those years
were l00,l52 long tons and l2s,l47 long
tons, respectively. OF which ferroman-
ganese constituted 99,l37 long tons in
| 1912 and l2s.070 long tons in 1913 The
imports of these alloys therefore consti-
tuted 30.5 per cent. and 80 per cent, re-
spectiyely, Of the available supply in
Ilgl2 and 1918 England and Germany
have furnished most of these imported
alloys in recent years. BY far the great
er part of the ierromanganese produced
in the United States is manufactured by
steel companies for their own eonsump-
ton, so that those manufacturers who
have hithertofore depended on foreign
supplies must either make arrangements
TO purchase the needed alloys from other
domestic companies or else enter the field
las producers themselves. In either event
much more ferromanganese may have to
be manufactured in the United States II
the foreign supplies are cut of for any
considerable period. Added impetus may
therefore be given to certain projects
which are under way involving the util-
ization of manganiferous iron ores of
the Cuyauna range, Minnesota, in the
manufacture OF high-manganese pig iron
and ferroma nganese at certain blast fur
naces in Pennsylvania.
Domestic Production Less Than Demand.
With regard to manganese ores the
situation presents features Of still greater
interest. Notwithstanding the abundant
supplies Of manganese in the United
States its domestic production has been
relatively small, but the imports have
been so large az TO indicate & strong de-
mand for manganese ore. For instance,
during the last 10 years the annual do
nestle production of manganese ore has
ranged between l,500 and 1000 long
tons, while the imports ranged between
10000 and $4,000 long tons, In 1913
the domestic production of 404s tons,
which was the largest since 1908, was in
significant compared with the imports OF
3l5.OOO tons and constituted only little
over | per cent. Of the available supply.
Another illustration of the great dis
parity between the domestic production
of manganese ore and the imports may
be noted in the fact that the total pro-
duction of the United States so far as
recorded, going back to 1888, is 4l4,73s
long tons-an amount not greatly in ex-
cess of the importations during the sim
gle year 1919. The imParts of man
ganese ore recorded since 1868 have
reached the grand total of 3.s596l6 long
tons. and the records are incomplete for
the first 20 years Of theis period.

The earliest deputation of women to
parliament was organized close on 1000
years ago. Under the trfnmvirate or
Augustus, Antony and Lepidus it was
proposed TO tax the property OF 1.4oo
wealthy Roman matrons in order to
meet part Of the expenses Of the civil
war then raging. They refused tor
submit TO this imposition and sent Hor-
tensia. one of their number, to plead
against 1t before the senate. In the
course of her speech she asked, Why
should we be compelled to pay for
war into which we had no wish to
embark or for the support Of gov
eminent whose policy we have no
means of controlling" This argument
proved so effective that the tax on
women was reduced to one-third OF the
amount originally proposed. - London

WILSON REJ0ICES
IN CORNISH PINES
President Is Delighted with His Trip
and Shows Much Re-
lief

Windsor, Sept. l4.-Resting Saturday
night for the second time in two weeks
amid the Cornish pines, President VIII
SON was delighted by the relief that the
trim gave him. During the railroad jour.
ney he had many handclasps with people
at several stations. At Brattleboro he
was pleased when an aged man pushed
his way through the crowd and whis-
pered "God bless you, Mr.. President"
At Bellows Falls the president alight-
ed and paced the platform. His step was
brisk and his face showed that he en-
loved the sunshine and the invigorating
air in the Vermont hills. Occasionally
he paused to shake hands with passersby
and to chat with them.
President Wilson manifested more
signs of real relief from official cares
than at any time for several months
The real touch of democracy, however,
was reserved for his arrival here. The
little Windsor station was thronged with
men, women and children eager to well
come him back, but the most noticeable
feature of the gathering was a group Of
six state prison TRUSTEES in their prison
garb OF tan trousers, bIue and white
jumpers and gray caps.
The president was accompanied here
by the Misses Smith of New Orleans,
his cousins. The party was met at the
station by the presidents son-in-law,
Francis i. Sayre, and they immediately
left for Harlakenden house. There Sat
urday afternoon the president read and
rested. He received few official mes
sages from Washington, but all were
said to be routine. He was not advised
of the halt in the war tax programme
at Washington pending his return.
Mr.. Wilson expects to draft his reply
to the protesting notes of the German
emperor and President Poincare before
leaving here this afternoon. Yesterday
the president went to church and to-day
he played golf on the Hanover, n H.,
links.

WINNING A DECORATION.
The Tradesman Got the Grand Cross
and King Peter the Reward.

and King Peter the REWARD
An excellent story Is going the
rounds about King Peter of Servia.
A French tradesman who had amass-
ed great fortune wanted very badly
to get hold of some decoration TO wear
on bis breast, and after some financial
maneuvering he managed to secure a
Servian cross of something or other.
He was immensely proud Of this cross,
and instead of having it set with the
usual inferior quality of brilliants he
had 1t set with diamonds of the first
water.
Soon afterward he visited Servia,
and. as in duty bound, he called on
King Peter to thank him for the order.
He wore, of course, his magnificent
cross. and King Peter, who knows
something about jewels. Immediately
fixed hts eyes on It, He himself was
wearing the grand cross Of the order
set with .lther poor brilliants. and
the moment his visitor came within
reach he exclaimed But what is
this? / gave orders that you should
have the grand cross. The cross alone
is not worthy Of you. Here, you shall
wear mine"
Before the other could protest Peter
had changed the cross for the grand
cross. substituting the inferior jewels
for the splendid diamonds on the
breast OF the other! AS a matter Of
fact, OF course, he had never heard OF
his visitor before, the decoration hav.
ing been arranged by his Minister'S

ITS PRODUCT TOO GOOD.
A Wonderful Oil Well That Was Found
In the Balkans.

In the Balkans.
In Mr.. Cation Woodville's Random
Recollections' is the story of rich
oil we'll that was discovered In the
Balkans
On one of his journeys he was shown
a deep hole, sunk most probably by
the ancient inhabitants of the country
for mining purposes, but which he was
assured was petroleum well. After
ward Mr.. Woodyille heard the fun
story of this well.
A petroleum find was reported
from the district, and an expert from
Baku. in the Caucasus, the great Pc
troleum district, was sent to the Bal
kans by a syndicate to inquire into
this valuable discovery. He was taken
by eager natives to this hole, and a.
bucket was dropped down at the END
of a long rope and drawn up again,
brimful of oil.
The expert examined the contents OF
the bucket, tested it carefully. and
then, turning TO the assembled natives,
he exclaimed: This is the most won
derful oil well in the world. The Pc
troIeum Is already refined"
The explanation was, of course. that
some enterprising person, not knowing
that petroleum comes from the OH
wells in a crude state, had carefully
placed some ordinary commercial pc
troleum in the we'll in the hope that
the expert would think there really
was an oil well there and offer big
price for the property.
