WILL NOT INTERN.
Commander Makes Statement Con-
ccrning Ship-Gocs To Dry Dock.

Newport News, Va, April 14.-"I
myself will not intern"
This was the emphatic declaration
Of Lieut.. Capt. Thierfelder, comman-
der Of the German converted cruiser
Kronprinz Wilhelm, when informed
by newspaper men late to-day that it
was generally reported the cruiser
ultimately would intern at this
port.
1t was rumored that Commander
Thierichens, of the Prinz Eitel Fried
rich, had taken a similar stand, and
that orders to intern his vessel had
come from his government. Com
mander Thierfelder made no refer
ence to the probable action of the
German government with regard to
the disposition to be made of the
Kronprinz Wilhelm.
Authorization to take the Will
helm into dry dock was given to
Commander Thierfelder to-day in
two letters from Collector of Gus
toms Hamilton in reply to the cap
tain's communication of April 13,
in which was asked time to repair
and make the Kronprinz Wilhelm
aeaworthy.

Any knowledge Of the where

battle cruiser Karlsruhe was dis
claimed this afternoon by Capt.
Thierfelder
I'VE have never heard from the
Karlsruhe" said the German cap
tain. "A surgeon doctor on my
ship was this morning quoted as hav-
ing said we had heard from the
Karlsruhe. He told this merely as
story; the newspapers like stories.
I myself would know if we had heard
from the Karlsruhe. We have not
heard anything"

SOUTH CAROLINA PHOSPHATE.
Deposits Near Charleston Were First
Discovered in United States.

The deposits of phosphate rock in
the vicinity Ut Charleston, S. c.,
were amon@ he first discovered in
the United states, and until about
% years 2.go ne field was one Of the
largest prodH"nrs in the world. The
workable G-Uu5its are confined to the
region lying in general between
Charleston AMI Beaufort and extend
ing about - miles back from the
coast. The rhosphate rock occurs
III Il thin 1od which underlies irreg-
ular areas wl,hin the region. This
bed is commonly les than IS feet
below the aurlace, and is thus COM
parativ2ly easy to mine, but, owing
to the ra.CU 'lDw gra lie OF the rock
aud the oNpioitation OF richer and
more easily accessible deposits in
Florida and Tennessee, production in
the South Carolina field has fallen
of greatly In recent years.
An CNamINa ion of the South Caro-
lEa field was maze last year by G.
SHerDurnc Rogers, of the United
States GeOlogtcal Survey, and his re-
port has recently been published by
the survey H. Bulletin 5SO-J.
The prospects of a mark ed revival
OF mining IN the South Carolina
phosphate A@ld are poor. There are,
h0weVer 100000 tons of 60 per
'eut phosphlte still in the ground
and improved machinery at some
later date may render these deposits
workable. Furthermore, the South
Carolina Phosphate enjoys two ad..
vGntaGe>. First, the former import
ance OF The field led to the building
Of large fertilizer factories at Char
lesion, and the expense of shipping
is therefore almost negligible; sec
Oud, the rJ:k makes an excellent su-
DorphosNha.e and many planters
prefer Il 10 the higher-grade rock Of
the ncIE. oring fields. When the
Florida aul Tennessee desposits be-
coIoe exhausted prices may advance
sufficiently to permit the profitable
mining o. he remaining South Caro-
lima rock. On the other hand, the
presence o. great deposits of high
grade go.5 in Wyoming and Idaho
points ,l al' undiminished supply for
many }ea,s, and insures crushing
competition in the interior part of

REGARD WAR AS GOD-SEND.
Russian Peasants Better OF Than i'm

Ppuo@rpd, Arrl l2.- 0putou
was expressed to-day by Ticrrc L..
Bark, 4u-atna m.atat,r OF Guance
thal, economically considered. me
war has been a blessing to the peo-
re of Russia. Discussing financial
and social aspects of the conflict in
an interview with the Associated
Press, VI. Bark said:
Notwithstanding the depressing
and paralyZing effect of the war, the
Russian peasant class is more pros
porous than at any previous time in
the history Of the country.
by virtue Of the allowance made
by the government to the families Of
soldiers, which exceeds the earning
power Of the soldiers, the total in
come Of these families is greater
than in times Of peace. Thus the
people are beginning to regard the
war as a peculiar sort of God-send.
which is putting money into their
pockets"
What about vodka?" was asked
of the minister.
Prosperity Noticeable.
"It is prohibition of the sale of
vodka which is primarily responsible
for the ameliorated condition Of the
peasant" he responded. "The sieve
| through which all the available earn
ings formerly disappeared has now
been closed.
1T is not necessary to invent the
| ories to explain why the Russian peo-
pie should be more prosperous, for
| the actual fact is that this prosper
| ity is everywhere noticeable. Before
| the war the average yearly deposits
amounted to from $15,00O,O00 to
100000, 1000, while in the month OF
| January alone about $3O,O0O,O0O
| was deposited"
What about the crops?"
"The farmers have been fortunate
in being compelled to hold their sup
ply of grain on account Of the diff
culties Of transportation, for grain is
now at the highest price Of the year"
Discussing the Paris conference OF
the allies finance ministers to con-
slider financial problems arising from
the war, M. Bark said
"One result was the formulation
of an agreement with our allies to
pool all the expenses Of the war
and France for money expended in
the war, while our allies are to call
upon Russia for grain which they
need.
