To THE EDITOR OF THE SUS--Sr: The

three OF the brainiest men In Germany

merriment. The matter could only be
explained by assuming that these men
were compelled TO sign under stress. II
could not be believed that these dis

Such seems to have been the case. how
ever. for already evidence that some
are recovering their senses Is shown in

Planck recalls the letter addressed to the
civilized world IN August. 1914. by ninety
three German scholars and artists. IN
which they defended the conduct OF their
own Government and denounced In ex-
,ravasant language the action Of the
Allies, Professor Planok himself was one
OF the signator!es. He now admits that

Not all Of the gold Of this country

Gold hunters dreamed for years Of

range. Some of them stopped dream
ing and went to work. missing nm
Eldorado, but gaining enough profit to
pay we'll for their daily labor. AS a
result ffty-nine gold placer mines and
t~wcnty-four deep gold mines have
been developed.
The most productive OF these are
in North Carolina, Georgia and Ala
bama. The last named State has not
done SO we'll as In some previous
years; hut both the others have x
ceeded the production Of 1914. The
largest placer mine Is In Rutherford
county, North Carolina, and the most
productive deep mine in Montgomery
county, the same State.
But the whole story Of metal min
ing in the East Is not told In the
quest for gold. Besides this precious
mineral. silver. copper, lead and zinc
have been produced In quantities sufn-
cient to make n total last year Of al
most S30,0OO,oO MN This is nearly three
times the value Of the preceding
years production, the increase In gold
