POTASH NOW MADE IN U. S.

Washington, Oct. 49, Production
for the first time in The United States
of commercial mineral potash, for
which in the past Americans nave
spent millions of dollars abroad an
nually, was announced tonight by
Secretary Lane of the Interior De-
partment.
A report had just reached the dc
partment from a special agent of the
Geological Survey telling how by a
simple process potash had been pro-
duced from alunite found in great
vein in Pluto county, Utah.
AS alunite is known to exist in large
quantities in Utah, Colorado, Nevas
da. California and Arizona, Mr.. Lane
believes that the discovery assures
the country of an adequate supply Of
potash for agricultural purposes and
for use in the manufacture of eX-
plosives. Statistics show that i'm
ports of potassium salts from Ger
many amounted to $i5,00O,OoO in 19l"
the last year for which figures are
available.
The Utah alunite experimental with
is in a vein 10 feet wide, which has
been traced for about $500 feet. Its
depth has not been ascertained. Re
ports show that more than 200 tons
of the mineral have been milled, pro-
ducing two tons of SO per cent. pure
potash. Al the present time there
arc 100000 gallonf of alunlte cofi'
tanning large amounts of potash salts
in the course of evaporation.

STRIKES OUT
MURDER CHARGE.

srThe wall of church is not all ap'
oropriate place to perpetuate hatred
was the reason given by Sir fihlii
Wilbraham, chancellor Of the DO
cese of Chester, England, when re-
fusing to permit memorial taoleV t'
a victim of the Lusitania IN church
of the diocese to bear the inscrlptio.
';who was murdered on the Lusltania
by the Germans.
The word murder" Sir Fhlllp
said, would have to be taken out q
the tablet. The chancellor then sug-
qested that the inscription should
read, "Who lost his life when the
Lusitania was torpedoed by the Ger
mans" This was agreed to.
The chancellor is right. No GOOD
was eyer accomplished by the perpe'
tuation of hatred. A young man, son
of a representative Englishman, was
killed during recent Zeppelin RAID
upon London. The father of the III
starred youth has taken exception 10
the verdict of the coroner's jury. Inc
parent says the jury should have re-
ported that his son was murdered D!
the Emperor Of Germany.
The great fire in London occurred
several centuries ago. It started III
the vicinity of Billingsgate, the hsf
market district, and extended over
large area, raging about two weeks
The religious bitterness of that day
made many believe the conflagratlor
was started by sympathizers with the
Catholic Church, although positive
evidence was lacking. A monument
stands upon the spot where this ter
rible fire started. At first the direct
charge that it was started by Catho
lies was made in the words upon the
shaft. The Objectionable allegation
was later removed by common con-
sent.

TOO HARD A JOB
Allies to Give Up Campaign on the
Dardanelles

Berlin, Oct. ia special dispatch
to the National Zeitung from the Rus
sian border, says:
"Your correspondent learns from a
well-informed source that the aban-
donment of the Dardanelles campaign
by France and Great Britain already
has been decided upon. Russian CIR
cles interested in this matter have
been informed that the Allies will not
suspend operations on the Galilpoll
Peninsula all at once, but will grad
ually withdraw troops from there.
military circles of the Entente
powers are fully convinced OF the
hopelessness of the Dardaneiles un
dertaking in it's present FORM"
The correspondent adds that an
other reason for the abandonment Of
the campaign is that troops are need
ed for service in Serbia.

EUROPEAN WAR PROSPECTS.
CRichmond Times Dispatch)

Europc's great war becomes more
and more a war of exhaustion with
less and less chance of a decisive is
sue as the result OF a single battle
or a single campaign. The victory
will go to that side which can better
resist the strain of men, money, sup
plies and endurance-and that is not
the side of Germany and Austria.
Since the war started the wastage
of men actually engaged has been at
rate approximating so per cent. VI
the 1O,S50,000 troops that Germany
and Austria have put into the field,
there have been permanent losses OF
100000 and temporary losses OF l.
100000. The extension of the Aus
tro-German battle line, the Inaugural
ton of new offensive against an ~
trenched enemy in Serbia, the rcvlv-
al of the Russian giant and the allied
offensive in the west make it GER
/ tain that the ratio of Teutonlc loss
es will not be lessened.
1t is ridiculous to say that such
! tremendous losses-even of men-can
be kept up indefinitely. Neither can
the tremendous expenditure of money
/ that modern warfare involves. The
armies in the field, perhaps 3,oo0,Ooo
men on either side, about balance eacn
other just now, but, while Germany:
Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria, have
present available reserves OF 70O,OoU
men and are capable of making an
nual additions of about 100000 men
to their forces, the allies have pres
ent available reserves of at least l3,-
100000, and can supply each year ne"
/ soldiers to the number of 2,S50,00O.
1t is true that the allies reserve
! is not made up of trained soldiers
There are millions Of Russians, toi
example, who have never been called
to the colors, largely because they
could not be equipped. Englandl;ha;
never put her full strength into TIKI

CALLS HANGING
A DISGRACE

Inc hanging VI IHe hSSAo
berry at Murphysboro, Illinois, Whlch
more than 1000 persons admitted as
deputies were permitted to witness
is referred to as scandal and DIS
grace to the State" by Governor Dun
nc in telegram to Sheriff James a.
White, of Jackson county, who had
charge of the execution.
In his message the Governor asked
that the hanging of Elston Scott, a
reglo, set for next Friday in Jack
son county, be conducted with de
cor,;m, decency and privacy"
The hanging referred to was, as
Governor Dunno terms it, disgrace
Deberry was defiant and treated death
with contempt up to the time the trap
was sprung. The lesson of the law
was not taught, as the crowd which
gathered had about as much real'za-
ton of what they were witnessing as
if they were watching baseball
game Or moving picture exhibition
The abolition Of public executions
in Virginia was a wise procedure.
Condemned persons are now taken
from the cities or counties in which
thew have forfeited their right to 1--we,

The last execution in Alexandra,

before the stars were out of the SKY
and while the great majority OF resi-
dents were in their beds.
Many years before when an execu-
ton took place the jail gates were
opened to all who desired to enter
It was a gala day for the thoughtless'
especially boys, while housetops IN
the neighborhood were used as van
tage points by those who desired TO
witness the violent death of fellow
creature.
During the civil war bounty-Jump-
ers and others condemned to death
were generally executed In fields on
the northwestern boundaries of the
city. 1t was free exhibition to all
who desired to be present. The con-
demned men were blindfolded, their
hands tied behind their backs and
then made to sit upon their collins. At
the command to fire a number Of
bullets entered the wretched men.
who generally fell backward from
their gruesome seats to the horror Of
MANY who wished they had been
somewhere else, as ii took days and
weeks to eliminate the scenes from
their minds.
Those who have read the history OF
Jack Sheppard have experienced
thrills of horror at Harrison Aims
worth's story of the execution of the
famous English criminal. 1t was wit
messed by as many as could approach
the fatal gibbet, which stood out II
the open. Jack was pulled from tho
scafold before he was dead and car
ried westward toward st. Martin
Lane. He was given his coup de grace
nv the mob, which literally smother
cd him to death. This dlsgracc1u
scene caused many in London to con

that the yacht Eclipse on which six
officers from the German informed
cruiser Kronprinz Wilhelm had been
sighted off Virginia Beach Monday
afternoon Of last week, Admiral
Frank z. Beatty, commandant Of the
Norfolk navy yard, has abandoned
his theory that the missing craft was
in Chesapeake Bay. A ship master
made formal report TO the department
that he had sighted the yacht at
about the same TING the Eclipse was
reported By coast guards as headed
for sea. Among the reports circulated
locally, is the statement that as many
