UNITED STATES MORE DAN
GEROUS TO ENGLAND THAN
is GERMANY

The Berlin Vorwaerts recently
published an article several columns
in length discussing the probable
commercial and financial effects
of the war on the United States. I'm
der the heading "The Real Victor"
the writer concludes that the United
States will reap the greatest economic
advantages from the war, and that
neither Germany nor Great Britain
stands to gain anything which ever
wins.
"The sudden withdrawal of German
exports from the world markets." said
the article, affords the United States
tremendous opportunity for extend
ing its trade, particularly in South
America, while the accompanying fl
nancial expansion will be made easy
by the new American currency laws.
"If the American operations are
skilfully carried out. the English bank
ers in South America will feel their eff
fects and Americans will rapidly se-
cure such financial predominance in
the southern continent, as under ordi-
nary circumstances, could not be ex-
pected for fifty years.
The European bcliigerents must
continue for long time their large

GEOLOGICAL SURVEYS
CANNOT MAKE ASSAYS

The United States Geological Sur
vey calls the attention of mining men
and others to the fact that it is not
equipped fir making assays or analy-
ses of rocks, its laboratory being in
fact overloaded with official work.
Many specimens and samples are re-
ceived by the Survey, accompanied by
requests for such treatment, with
which it is impossible to comply. The
force of chemists employed is small,
and their time is fully occupied by
their regular official duties. The Geo
logical Survey has no facilities for
making gold and silver assays. The
most the Survey Biologists can do is
to give an off-hand opinion based on
simple examination of the specimens.
1t might be matter of surprise to
know the large number of answers
prepared daily by the Geological Sur
vey, similar to the following:
''In reply to your letter, etc,
the material you send is merely
fragment of quartz pebble. | regret
to say that it has no probable value,
A great many other samples re-
ceived prove to be iron pyrites, or
fools gold" the shiny particles be-
ing taken by the writers for gold.
If an assay is desired, the proper
course is to employ private assayer
or to send the specimen to one of the
Government assay Offices, where a
reguar charge is made for such work.
When specimens are sent to the sur
vey for examiHtion, applicants should
be particular to state whether they
wish them returned, as otherwise they
will be destroyed. There are Govern
ment assay offices at Carson, New;
Seattle, Washington; Boise, Idaho;
Helena, Montana; Salt Lake City,
Utah; Deadwood, South Dakota; or
New Orleans, La; and the Mint at
Philadelphia for gold, silver, lead, tin.
zinc, and antimony.-Bulletin.

TALKING ALOUD is VERY
DANGEROUS THESE DAYS

There is little chance of German
spy remaining at liberty in England
these days. There was time when
there was great deal of spy activity,
professional and amateur, but now the
evil has been stamped out, or az least
so the authorities believe. 1t is ac
cepted as an axiom here that every
German or pro-German person is a
potential spy and in way the same
thing can now be said of every Eng
lishman. 1t is unsafe these days for
any one frankly to express an opin-
ion, for everywhere there are ears to
hear, and the slightest comment on
the progress of events which is un-
favorable to the British is more than
likely to reach Ccotland Yard, where
the already efficient staff OF detectives
has been augmented so that no tip
no matter how trivial it may appear
on the surface, is not thoroughly in
yestigated. 1t is particularly undesir-
able for foreigner to permit himself
to say anything derogatory OF Eng
land or the Allies or anything favor
able about the Germans. Americans,
who are easily spotted by their accent,
are marks of suspicion, for the people
here are now thoroughly familiar with
the "hyphenated' American. An
Englishman may say dreadful things
about his government, about cabinet
ministers, the situation in the Dard-
anelles, and SO on, and nothing may
happen, but for an American or other
neutral foreigner to express similar
opinions is, to say the least, injudi-
cious.
Recently there moved into small
town adjacent to London an American
family of a semi German name. The
man of the family was American to
the core, ardently pro-Ally in his SYM
pathies and long resident of Eng
land. But unquestionably his name
had German tinge. No sooner had
he settled down than he had vsit
from the police. He explained his
status to them quite satisfactorily,
showing his passport, and has had no
further trouble in that quarter. But
his wife is having difficulties. She
went to the butcher to open an ac-
count and was received with consid-
cradle suspicion. 1t was with some dit
fculty, and only after she had been
identified by other customers of this
seller of meat. that she made arrange
ments for providing her family with
food. At other shops she encountered
similar difficulties. The baker asked
her quite frankly if she was German
with an air that indicated that if she
were she would have to go elsewhere
for her bread.

orders of merchandise and foodstuffs
from the United States and the money
with which they will pay for them will
provide plentiful resources for the
commercial campaign in South
America.
"Thus we see that the war has not
resulted Just as the English had ex-
peeted. True, German trade has been
shattered, but now amidst the din of
war a new competitor is seen rising
who will soon prove more dangerous
to England's position in the world
market than Germany would have
been 80 years hence.
While the European countries grad
ually are exhausting themselves the
United States is paying off all its liza
bilities and laying up financial re-
serve which will assure her per-
manent place in world commerce.
place which the enthusiastic American
statesmen of the past never dreamed
possible"

Persons who are born in Germany
and become American citizens cannot
be excused for violating the laws of
America" says the Tageblatt in COM
menting upon President Wilson's mes
sage.
Germany would punish persons
from abroad who came here and vio-
lated German laws. But the passion
of German-Americans to which Presi-
dent Wilson refers, would not have
been; heated to such a point if the
United States, under Mr.. Wilson'1
presidency, had endeavored to main
tain honest neutrality.
That was not done. A great por-
ton of the press not only proclaims
sympathy for France and Great Brit
ain, which is pardonable, but makes
wordy warfare against Germans in
the most offensive and insolent man
ner. President Wilson hitherto has
had little to say against it.
above all, American industry has
'passionately' taken sides in this war,
with passionate dollar hunger. There
also President Wilson has looked on
quitely."
The Tageblatt says it has no desire
to discuss the moral aspects of the
case, but remarks that in view of what
has happened it is no wonder Germans
in America are excited.
The Lokal Anzeiger says that Presi-
dent Wilson's words of reproach to
those who passionately take sides in
the war may be safely interpreted
as a reference to German-Americans.
"Our friends across the water" 1t
continues, "are men enough to settle
matters with the nations chief with
that fearlessness which in the new
world is accounted one of the highest
Yerington times. [volume] (Yerington, Nev.) 1907-1932, 1915-12-18
EXTRACTS FROM FOREIGN NEWSPAPERS
POUNDING AT PRES. WILSON'S MESSAGE

rights of mankind. They will not al
low themselves to be outdone in this
virtue by any native-born American"
The Morgenpost makes violent at
tack upon President Wilson saying
that it has long known that he was
anti-German, but he never before had
given reign to his hatred in this fash
ion.
This neutral governments head
has scarcely word of reproach for
the shameless indictments of the jingo
press against Germany. But he insults
as traitors, anarchists and dishora-
BILE persons those men in whom olive
for the old fatherland lives, and who
rise up against the despicable things
done against them daily"
The Kreutz Zeitung says that thus
far there has been no sufficient evil
dence of German plots against the
United States to justify the words of
the message.
"Be that as it may" continues the
newspaper, Germany cannot be made
responsible for them, There is nobody
in Germany who approves Of them.
President Wilson, however, seems not
to appreciate the psychology of those
who allow themselves to be induced
to commit such excesses through the
indignation over the unscrupulous and
unlimited support of the enemy OF
their old fatherland which Americ1
permits itself through President VII
sons policy"
The Vossiche Zeitung uses over its
Washington dispatch summarizing the
message the headlines, "NViiscr
against German Americans" bu, does
not comment upon the document.
Commen is likewise lacking in .he
newspapers other than those men
toned.
