BY CHARLES M. PEPPER.

NN1HE military meaning of Russia's
advance on the eastern front is
III clear enough to students of the
q tactics of the great war. There
Is a further significance, however.
which is not SO well understood This
Is the economic advance.
Russia, by her military operations is
not only opening the road to Hungary
for her armies. she is possessing her
self of some of the resources of the
enemy in compensation for her own
resources which are still under enemy
control. She is also paving the way
toward repossessing herself of this
Russian territory with It's economic
value both in war and peace.
The advance through Galicia toward
Hungary still leaves Poland in posses
sion of Germany. and the Russian mill
tary operations in the Riga district
have not progressed to the point where
the German menace to the Baltic re-
sions is seriously threatened. Yet
there is some progress. which gives en-
couragement to the expectation of
Russia clearing part of her own terri
tory. at least. of the enemy and regain
ing all the productive resources that
have been out of her hanJs.
Galicia itself is a possessio which
Austria cannot afford to lose. The oil
fields are one of the most useful war
assets of the central powers.
Germany, through the Berlin bank
ing group. was in control of these oil
fields when the war began. The Aus
trfan government, in a general way. was
cooperating with the German govern
ment in the fight against the Standard
Oil Company and was entirely willing
that German capital should prevail in
the Galician oil fields.
The oil region at this writing is not
in the grasp of the Russian armies, and
1t may be a long time before they get
1T. yet the military situation is threat
entng enough to cause uneasiness to the
central powers over the possible loss of
one of their principal industrial re-
sources.
Russia is far from dislodging Germany
from Poland. The present military opera
tions have not that end in view, and
Germany herself counts on the possession
Of Poland as one Of her assets whenever
peace negotiations shall begin, and the
bargaining over territorial concessions
becomes one of the features of those
negotiations.
The promise of a semi-independent Po-
land is one of the pawns in the great
game of diplomacy. Meantime. the suf-
fering of the Polish population is so
great that peace probably would be well
coined by the inhabitants without much

The tendency to develop native indus
tries was shown particularly in the encour-
agement given to establishing agricultural
works. Russia shares with the Argentine
Republic the distinction Of being the prin
cipal customer Of the United States in the
purchase Of harvesters and other agrcul-
tural machinery.
The Russian government few years
ago began to develop a definite plan for
manufacturing part of the machinery used
in Russian agriculture in Russia. This
tendency became 80 pronounced that the
leading American agricultural industry
decided to establish its own works In
Russia, just as 1t had done in France and
Germany. The war interfered with the
carrying out Of these plans. just as it
has interfered with the sale of agricul-
tural machinery. but when Russia be-
gins her systematic industrial develop.

continue the policy Of encouraging the
manufacture Of agricultural machinery at

The chemical works undoubtedly have
been used to advantage, and the rela-

to be obtained in Poland have been very

WEDGE COMPANY
TO BUILD MILL
HIGH AMONG SANTA
FE PRODUCERS

Plans for the construction of re-
duction works OF large capacity for
the treatment of its own ores and
probably custom ores Of the Santa
Fe district are heing worked out
out by the Wedge copper company.
which proposes to erect a plant at
or near Luning.
Knute Freitag. consulting en-
gineer and metallurgist for the
Wedge company has been working
on a process for the treatment Of
carbonate ore of the district by
flotation following sulphidizing, and
has progressed far enough to feel
sure that the metallurgical Prob
lens a be solved. In company
with Mark Walser, president of the
company, Mr.. Freitag will go TO
Reading, Pa. June l., to lay the
company's plans before some of the
larger stockholders.
The Wedge Copper Mining COM
pany was largely financed by q
group of stockholders Of Nevada
of which Mr.. Walser is
president and manager, and he
feels certain that there will be no
lack of funds for the construction
of reduction works. While the
company has beer in existence but
a short time, it has a development
fund of $4,000 in cash and con-
vertible assets. and 400, 600
shares of stock in it's treasury.
At the mine the air compressor
and engine are on the ground and
teing put into place and within
a few days shipments will com
hence from No. | tunnel. 1t is
proposed to grade the ore to eight
per cent copper. The company
has acquired four more claims
and the vein system as mapped
shows a mile of veins within the
holdings. The tunnel has de-
velored seventeen feet of ore at a
depth of 900 feet on the slope of
the vein which has been opened
up by drifts for stopping operations.
Roads have been constructed
and necessary camp buildings erect
cd under the direction of II. o.
Howard, who will conduct the
further exploration of the property.

for the statement hat A. Grant
Miller will enter the race for
United States senator if the So
cialist national committee will
pay his campaign expenses. The
time for him to decide has beer
extended by the socialist commit
tee to June. The Appeal says
Miller is willing to make the run
but he insists that the party must
pay his expenses, and this question
is now being considered by the
socialist national committee.
In the last campaign Miller paid
nearly all of his own expenses nut
is unwilling to do so again. To
be the socialist candidate for SEN
ator is a good advertisement, but
the benefits that accrue are hardly
commensurate with the expenses
entailed. At least that is Miller's
view of the matter.

QUICK DEATH TO REACHES
English investigator Recommends the
Use Of 6romine and Sulphur
Dioxide.

DR.. Joseph J. III. Holt of England,
who for two or three years has perse-
cuted the restless roach with all the
means which science could suggest,
publishes the casualties in the
Lancet.
He has powdered his insect enemy
with everything from quinine to
mustard, suffocated him with poison
Gus gases and boiled him in oil. Alto
gether this indefatigable doctor has
experimental with no less than 124
methods of dealing with the pest.
The best agents for quick de.
struction are bromine and sulphur
dioxide. These agents must be used
at least once a day for two or three
weeks before the reaches definitely
decide that the immediate atmos-
phere is unhealthy. AS the room
should be sealed when the gases are
used, the method is impracticable
for household use.
Creosote, wood naphtha or the oil
of rosemary, eucalyptus or citronells,
placed daily near their haunts for
several weeks, will effectually rid the
place of them, but Of course the odor
of such an agent is somewhat pun
gent. A busting powder naturally
suggests itself, and Holt finds that
the powdered sodium fuoride is the
best and cheapest for that purpose.

TO CONQUER WHITE PLAGUE
With UnremIttine Care Any Child Can
Be Saved From Dreaded
tuberculosis

If there are children in family
where there is tuberculosis, they can
be protected by scrupulous care and
may remain healthy and strong, says
DIR. S. Adolphus Knopf in the Medi-
cal Record. This care must consist
not only in avoiding sources Of in
lection, but by developing the child
into a physically strong being which
can resist the invasion Of the tubercle
bacillus
The mother should make an OPEN
air baby Of each of her children, feed
them carefully and plentifully, keep
their skin scrupulously clean, follow
ing the warm bath for the babies
with a rapid rubbing with her hands
dipped in cold water. The openair
kindergarten and the openair school
are the only proper places to educate
a child predisposed to tuberculosis.
Teach such child breathing eIer,
cises; do not bundle it up, but dress
it comfortably, according to the sea-
son. At the time the girl grows into
womanhood do not compress the or
gans in the chest and abdomen by
tight lacing.
1t goes without saying that the
mother, in no matter what station Of
life she may move, should also dress
sensibly, and never again wear the
trailing skirt which collected from
the sidewalk tuberculous sputum
and dirt containing the germs Of
diphtheria, pneumonia and consump-
ton, to be later on deposited on the
carpets of the children's playroom.
