PRODUCTION OF MICA IN 1914
Considerable Decline in Production and
Importation.

The value of the mica produced in the
United States in 1914 was S32s,746, 4
decrease of Sl07.3l4 from 1913. according
to a statement of Douglas b. Sterrett OF
the United States Geological Survey. The
production came from l3 states. The
output of sheet mica amounted to 556,933
pounds, valued at s2l7, $3.50, as compared
with l,700.677 pounds, valued at s353,5l7
in 1918, and the production of scrap mica
in 1914 amounted TO $3.50 short tons,
valued at S5l,4l6, as compared with 1922
short tons, valued at Ss2,543 in 1913.
The output OF sheet mica in 1914 falls
considerably below the average for the
preceding four years, but the production
OF scrap mica compares more fayorably
with the average production during these
years. There was also decline in inn
ports of unmanufactured and trimmed
sheet mica in the United States, the
value for 1914 being S625.396, as com
pared with S943.0ls in 1913.
Mica mining in the United States
started early in the 10th century in New
Hampshire. which state supplied all the
domestic production until about ls6s,
when mining was started in North Caro-
lima and subsequently, in other states.
In the early DAYS OF the mica indus
try the bulk OF the mica used consisted
OF large clear sheets for glazing purposes.
After 1890. with the great growth in the
manufacture Of electrical apparatus and
machinery. an increasing quantity OF
mica was used and during the same pc.
rod smaller patterns were applied in
the glazing trade. About the same time
ground mica for wallpaper decoration 1
came into large demand, resulting in the
Of much OF what had for
merly been waste mica. At present the
greater part Of the sheet mica i used IN
the electrical industry, and the majority
Of the scrap mica is ground for use in

MEYER ON WAR PATH.
Former Secretary Lights Up Nays
Weakness

New York, june l6.-"Leaders OF the
political party in power" were eensured
yesterday by former Secretary of the
Navy George Won l.. Meyer, speaking be-
fore the peace and preparation confer
ence. He criticised Secretary Daniels,
laying upon him the blame for the de-
creased efficiency and the demoralized
personnel of the navy. He called for
public opinion that would compel Con-
gress to investigate thoroughly the con-
dition of the country's floating defences;
and agreeing with Assistant Secretary
+. ID. Roosevelt that $4,000 men are need
ed for the fleets he declared that the
recent review in New York was only "a
poor imitation" OF previous reviews. He
also said that the craftsmanship of the
fleet has not improved in ten years.

While the preliminary assurances of the German government relative to the Arabic sinking tend to relieve theI strain in the foreign situation for the time being there are still sufficient diff faculties confronting the administration before the final reckoning with Ger many over the conduct of the sub marine warfare can be had that wei cannot as yet console ourselves with the ! ought that We are safely out f the woods The original subjects of disagreement are stiIl hanging in the balance and are liable at any time tol develop conditions of grave concern Ill the event that both sides continue to cling to their original contentious. Also there is an exceedingly large prospect that further offenses of the Germans may add still further to the diseord already existing. The present aspects of the controversy suggest that there is little reasonable hope of a settlement for some time at least as it is evident that Geramny does not intend to re- cede from its attitude until driven to the last resource and it may be that
 there is no intention to yield to the United States at all, regardless of the consequences. In the face of this p~os-
 pect and with the probability that some further act of the Germans may add still further to causes of disagreement
 between the two nations it is apparent
 that we are still facing a most pre-
 carious situation. Considering the
 probabilities in this respect there is food for much reflection in the ques-
 tions submitted by former Secretary of State Bryan, during the course of his Chicago address, relative to the part
 played by American individuals in
 bringing about conditions pregnant
 with direful possibilities to the nation.
 As suggested by the great statesman, the final issue of the present disagree ment with Germany over the subma- rine warfare lies largely in the conduct of the citizens of the United States | themselves as it is primarily through | their acts that the nation is brought to
 face a prospect of war with that country. The right of the citizens of

"ranana Jim" an old Indian belong ing at Panama Crossing, has a poor opinion in general of the white mans bonesty. He has been finn flammed several times and io getting wise to the white mans ways. Jim's first shock came away back in the spring of 1903 when the big stampede to Fairbanks was on. A number of argonauts going down the Panama found themselves short of dog feed but were able to buy fish from the Indians at Panama Cross- ing. Silver was the only money with which the Indians were acquainted, but as every man passing northward had told Jimmy that they were going after gold he began to think that gold might be a good thing to have. The next time Jimmy sold fish he asked for gold and received three bright new coins after parting with a sack full of dry fish. The old man proudly boasted of his "gold" to travellers until he wanted to make change for sourdough who had bought moose meat from him. When informed that his "gold" was copper Jimmy re- fused to sell any more fish unless the proper amount of silver was forthcom- ing. Some unprincipled fellow had given the Indian three new one cent pieces for $5 gold coins. Now Jimmy has another grievance. He sold furs to a white man who could not or would not pay him the full amount but pro- missed to pay the balance, S115.00. at his place of business thirty miles south of Mentasta pass. The old fellow was unable to go so sent his son Little Charlie" The Charlie boy collected the money all right but got into little poker game with a white man at the traders. Charlie in common with the Alaskan natives, is found of little game of draw, and being game backed his hands for more than they were worth When he arrived home he was minus the money, his dog team and most of his clothing Jim is very sad and believes white man no good'

a neu.fai opunuy V tnaNei an shs Bb armed ships of belligerent is uncon- troverted by all nations with the ex eeption of Germany, but at the same time the present situation is such that We may well question the wisdom of our citizens in willfully persisting in
 q course of procedure which tends to
 jeopardize the safety of the nation. As stated by MT Bryan, the question is
 whether an American citizen should
 put his convenience or even his rights above the welfare of the nation when by so doing he Is liable to precipitate difficulties of the most undesirable ma tnre. And an equally important ques
 tion is whether the government should hermit a few persons to drag the coun- try into an unparalleled war; in the event that they refuse to consider their own safety or the safety of the nation" In the present situation there seems but one logical answer to the questions. Germany has not only warned the world of what she intends to do but has also displayed an open intention of following to the letter the course of action laid down in the war
 zone proclamation regardless of ob
 iections based upon either moral or ethical grounds. Under the terms of
 international law this procedure Ia
 sufficient power to force an observance
 of recognized conventions it would ap-
 pear extremely sensible to refrain from
 laying ourselves liable to any of the
 evils which might arise from proceed
 in the face of known danger. It is all
 very well to run around with chip on
 our shoulder. bidding defiance to Ger many under the plea that We are right and she is wrong. Such conduct may same time we should not lose sight of the act that valor should be tempered with wise discretion. We cannot force Germany to observe our so-called rights but by continually flying into the face of a recognized danger we
 can bring upon ouselves an unutterable
 woe that could have been avoided by
 a slight observance of the point of
 view of others than ourselves. Until
 hax No fa vance of our rights 1t is wise to avoid provoking trouble. We may withdraw from all formal intercourse with Ger many and also seize her many valuable ships now interned in the ports of tte corntry. but neither this nor anything else that we can do will cause her to desst from her praetises unless she so desires. We are at the present time doing about all the harm We possibly can to that nation through aiding and 9 betting her enemies under the plea of rielts granted by the international law and We cannot go much farther re- gardless of what We do by way of pun ishment. It, therefore, seems in every way advisable to keep as far away from trouble as we may without loss of dignity The government mani festly cannot reeede from the position it has taken without such loss of dig nity but, it can and should. place it beyond the power of it's citizens to further complicate the unfortunate sit uation by placing themselves in danger which may ultimately develop still greater difficulties and dangers for the nation.
