Source of World Supply.
"The Stassfurt region has for many
years been the source of the world s
supply of potash salts. Their pro-
duction has been controlled by syn
dictate to which all of the firms pro-
ducing this commodity belong. Each
year, what proportion of that years
production might be exported and
what must be retained for domestic
uses has been determined by the exc
cutive OF this syndicate. Also, total
productions have been determined
and allotted, year by year. thus or
fecting a conservation of Germany's
supply. In 1914 the German potash
syndicate determined upon total
production OF all kinds of potash salt
Of 1.166. 500 metric tons for the year.
OF this amount, 531 300 tons were al
lotted for export.
"a hampering lack of potash salts
has been the result of the isolation
of little, unknown Stassfurt. There
are other sources. Deposits in Ga

connection with the war, potash salts
being necessary Ia the preparation CT
explosives. These deposits were found
near Kalusz, and plans have been
made to work them on large scale.
Texas. California and New Mexico are
among the most promising fields for
possible potash production in this
country"

, horses, which might be brought to
fighting efficiency within six months.
SomA of the batteries would have lit
tie advantage over the unframed men
in the streets, except that they would
be already equipped. Thus our ar
tillery militia is not a fighting force
which could be put In the field inn
mediately in case of invasion, but It
Is an equipped and partly drilled force
which could be made effective mucn
sooner than batteries could be form
ed from raw material.
BY means OF the School of Fire and
the militia pay bill. the efficiency OF
our military artillery has been inn
measurably increased in the last ten
years. It is still increasing to some
extent, but the officers OF the regular
army who act as instructors at the
School of Fire say that not much more
improvement can be obtained with
out direct federal control OF the mill
Iitia.
Federal control of the militia, which
would make 1t possible to bring all
of the organizations up to uniform
standard OF excellence, is the one
thing most desired by all officers OF
the regular army. Needless to say,
such control is not favored In many
of the states. Without entering into
the controversial and constitutional
aspects Of this question, it may be
well to here set down. as information
coming from experts, the reasons
why the artillery officers of the regu-
lar army believe that direct federal
control of the militia will be the
cheapest and best method to provide
a citizen army for national defenses:
Central Control.
It would give central control and
thus make it possible to bring all Of
the batteries and other militia or
CARNATIONS up to a reasonably high
standard of efficiency.
It would break up sectionaIism and
promote nationalism, which is the
spirit that the country must rely on
in time of emergency
It would make enlistment in the.
militia desirable to hundreds OF thous-
ands of workmen, who do not enlist
under present conditions because the
state militia can be used to suppress
strikes. The regular army officers
believe that state constablary
should take care of all such troubles.
It would insure uniform financial.
support to all organizations, and
reasonable remuneration for the men
VINO enlisted ana gave OF Inelr time
and energy for the work.
In word. it would give Uncle Sam
a citizen army upon which he could
absolutely rely in an emergency, and
would thus do away with all neces-
sity for large standing army.
This would, be the solution OF the
problem of national defense as the
technically trained men of our regu-
lar army see it. Meantime, they are
putting forth every effort to train our
citizen gunners with the facilities at
hand.

1900 WOMEN

Many of the Shareholders of the
Railroad Are German
Farmers.

NEW YORK, July 7.-All the stock
of the large corporations of the United
States does not find lodgment in the
hands of few men, as was SO often
.. the case years ago, but is becoming
more widely distributed. This is
shown by some interesting statistics
relating to the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. now available, which bring
to light the fact that there are APP
proximately 10000 individuals own
ing stock in that railroad. OF this
number 1900 own less than twenty
shares each.
Nor is this stock all held by men.
The women are more and more fnves-
ting their funds in railroad stock, as
is evidenced by the fact that at this
time about Ia, goo of them are share
holders.
The Baltimore and Ohio stock Is
held largely in European countries,
according to the statistics. but the
Germans are the largest holders Of
any foreign interests, many shares OF
stock finding their way into the hands
of German farmers.
The statistics also place the num-
Der of employees on the payroll Of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, in nor

ceive in the neighborhood OF $5000O,-

months and days. He had catarrh

and parents and friends could for him
we could keep him with us no longer,
for God knows best in all things. He
had been saved for two years, and
while on his death bed he received
the blessing of Sanctification, and said
he was ready and willing to go any
time the Lord called him, May we all
be as he was when the trying hour Of
death comes! What a blessing it is
for us to know our brother is at rest
where no pain and sickness can enter
and where death never comes.
He leaves a father, mother, two
brothers and seven sisters and host
of other relatives to mourn his loss.
lt seems SO SAD 10 US TO see uhe
vacant place he once filed, but yet we
know if we live true to God some day
we can meet him around that great

God forever.
The funeral services were conduct

remains we're laid to rest in the Des

We can sing his praise and love.

that the greater number feel they are

of the office, as the object of the post
