REPORT ON ASBESTOS DEPOSITS
State Mine Inspector Bell Believes
Idaho couHty Deposits Very Valuable

Boise, Nov. l5.-state Mine Inspec-
tor Bell believes that the asbestos de-
posists found on state lands In northern
Idaho are very valuable. He has been
inspecting these deposits on his present
trip to the northern part of the state.
In statement he said:
"The asbestos feature of the Clear

important business. The deposit is of
the short fiber variety and is ideal for
the manufacture of minera lumber.
There is process by which it can be

MORAN ASKS CITIZENS
TO HONOR SCIENTISTS
Washington Should Show Them Every
Courtesy. Says Chamber of Com
merce President.

That Washington business houses
public buildings and homes be deco
rated with flags and that the people
in the city extend all possible cour-
tesies TO the visiting scientists and
statesmen from South America and
Central America is the request of
ington Chamber of Commerce.
"A welcome to our international
brethren from other American coun-
tries will have almost as much effect
as peace treaties said President
Moran last evening. "One must re-
member that there is as much science
in the commercial lines as there is in
the profound subjects which the Pan
American Congress will consider. even
though the formula of the former is
the word business BY a gracious
welcome and a pleasant stay in the
national capital. those people will
carry back to their countries a more
comprehensive respect for the United
States, a respect for its hospitality
which will have a wide influence in
cementing the Pan-American COM
mercial ties
The City OF Washington has been
highly honored by having these scien-
lists select II as their meeting place
Therefore. IL should reciprocate in
every possible way, and II appears to
me that the right thing to do Is to
decorate our business houses. homes
and public buildings in order to show
them that we appreciate their pres

Plymouth. Dec. 25.-Capt- ]. L. Duffey,
of New York. skipper of the American
sailing ship. Brynhilda, has just returned
here from Archangel. where he went with
a cargo of cotton from New York. Capt
Duffey said: Il found Archangel a hive
OF industry. There were $50 steamers in
the harbor. Ashore in the vicinity Of the
town hundreds Of thousands of prisoners
Germans and Austrisns-were being
utilized in building railroads and assist
ing in the transportation of supplies

Washburn Declares Wilson and His
Policies Are Being Held Up to
Ridicule Abroad.

Stanley Washburn. war correspondent
for the International News Service and
the London Times on the Russian front.
who is in Washington for few weeks
vacation. said yesterday that the United
States is held up to ridicule by European
nations because of the Wilson administra-
ton.
THE United States Is a joke in the
eyes of the European nations" he said.
1T is the general opinion of Russia
that in this war. which all Europe feels
is one involving moral questions. the
United States has retained its neutrality
and ignored the moral aspects in order
to capitalize its industries in the selling
of ammunition to belligerents.
The diplomatic notes which America
has scattered abroad have become a joke
and there has been scarcely a day since
the sinking of the Lusitania that / have
not been politely quizzed by various gov
ernment officials to explain the signifi-
canoe of our foreign office. 1t Is a ques-
tion in which have not had the imagi-
nation to give adequate reply.
Il have been nowhere in Europe
where the impression was not unani-
nous that the prestige of the United
states is evaporating day by day as a
result of the slackness of Washington
in enforcing among the belligerents the
rights that we should. command as q
neutral nation.
The English have been laughing in
their sleeves at President Wilson's allie
CATION that it was his note. after the
Lusitania incident. that stopped the
German undersea warfare in the At
lantic and North Sea. The truth Of the
matter is that the German submarine
warfare was stopped for the time being
because the British navy had sunk or
had driven back to its base every un-

OPPOSITION TO WILSON'S
PLAN TO RAISE MONEY
Democrats as Well as Republicans
Against Further Tax on Produc-
tons Instead of Luxuries.

There is growing opposition in Congress
to the administration program OF raisins
revenue to make up the deficit created
by the Wilson tariff law. During a large
part of the year the actual revenues OF
the government ran s10o.0oo.ooO a day be-
hind the expenses. Now there Is to be
raised more than $4,000 900 In addition
to other war taxes for national de-
fense.
President Wilson'S proposal to put q
further tax on production instead OF
luxuries and to extend the income tax to
persons of small means Is disliked by
the Democrats in Congress. Republicans
oppose for political as well as patriotic
reasons.
