REDIsPoslTroN OF AMERICAN FORCES RECOMMENDED BY
 GENERAL FUNSTON.

Washington General Funston has recommended a redisposition of American troops in Mexico on lines approved by Secretary of War Baker, after a conference with President Wilson and General Bliss, acting chief of staff.
 It was said that no recommendation for withdrawal of the troops had come from General Scott, chief of staff, now at San Antonio, or from any other officer. on the border, and that there is no intention on the part of the government to withdraw them at this time.
 The Washington government has determined to maintain the expedi- ton in Mexico until the Carranza government has demonstrated it's abil- ity to capture or crush Villa and his adherents and prevent repetitions Of the Columbus raid.
 In the meantime, the American troops will be so placed as to safe guard the border towns by virtually policing the area south of the line
 
 where General Carranza has been heretofore unable to check bandit ope- rations
 Secretary Baker announced the ad- ministration's decision as follows:
 General Funston has recommended a redisposition of the forces in Mexi- co for the purpose of recuperation and pending opportunities for further cooperating with the Carranza forces. The recommendation has been ap- proved and it's execution left to his discretion"

 The statement I have made indl- cates nothing whatever on the sub feet of when the American troops will be withdrawn from Mexico. The whole subject of withdrawal of the forces is under arrangement and negotiation by the State Department

We have been interested in the con

and have benefited immensely by the
lessons they have taught us, on the
Top Of which it has placed us on the
corresponding list of the leading men
in the dry-farming world, among
whom DR.. Widtsoe occupies one Of
the most prominent positions.
DR.. Widtsoe has always been in ia,
vor Of industrial education and has
written extensively on the subject. as
he was one of the first farmers insti-
tute workers in western America, and
has had charge Of the institute in
Utah. His knowledge is sound and
extensive, and SO, needless to say, II
has always commanded universal at
tention.
Throughout his career DR.. Widtsoe
can be said to have stood up for two
main ideas: First, to make education
even in the higher and highest branch
es, accessible to all in order that thv
general level of intelligence might be
raised and developed; and secondly
to make full use of newly discovered
scientific facts and incite students
and workers to discover new ones in
order to reclaim and utilize for the
use of men that vast area OF the
earth's surface lover one-half) which
receives only a low rainfall.
All this work nas placed DIR. Widt

made him chairman of the Utah state
board of horticulture and a member
of other state boards. Long may he
remain in the many positions he &C
cupies. for we benefit enormously By
the work of such men.

passed by our Lutheran pastors in st.
Louis, Mo-, October, 1910:
Whereas, the prohibition move
ment is largely guilty Of distorting and
perverting that fundamental principle
of the separation of the church and
state, as taught by our Savior;
Whereas, the prohibition move.
ment at present rampant, is largely the
outgrowth of legalistic agitation on tho
part of misguided representatives Of
hysterical religion, which mans wis
dom tcacheth, but which has no foun-
dation in the Word of God, and where
as the prohibition movement is plainly
in conflict with the Savior's spirit,
which condemned sin, wherever he
found it, but furnished wine at mar
riage conservation, and selected wine
as an element Of the Lords supper;
therefore be it
/" Resolved that the conference of
the ministers of the synodical confer
ence at st. Louis, while reprobating
with all our might the present abuse of
liquor and endorsing all measures for
the betterment and for the prevention
of existing deplorable conditions, do
nevertheless, declare, for the reasons
aforestated, organize ourselves against
the present prohibition agitation as
such.
CATER conference of our Lutheran
pastors in Wisconsin the following pub.
lie statement was made by the Rev. G.
Eissfeld:
1--WE cannot join hands with the pro
hibitionists because their principle is
wrong, insofar as they mix good use
and misuse of things that in themselves
are gifts Of God.
We have investigated to see il
we could join hands with the antisa
loon league. We find that while they
claim they are not identical with thu
prohibition movement, declaring they
would only eliminate the evil of tn,
present system, in the annual report i
is plainly stated that not excessive
drinking nor the misuse of any bever
age, but the use, manufacture or sale o,
alcoholic beverages is the work of tn,
devil.
"These official statements plainly
prove that our Lutheran church ha
never and does not now espouse prohi
bition, as it is advocated by man,
churches of today, and is not with tn
movement.
"Our church believes that prohibi
ton is unbiblical, immoral, that it i
detrimental to our civil and religion
liberty, and that it is not the correc
way to remedy the abuse Of spitituou
liquors.

SCHOOL Of MINES !
: WORK BkOADENFD
New Contract Signed With Govern.
ment Officials Of Great Import
ance to Mining Men Of the West.

The announcement Of Dean Joseph
+. Merrill Of the school of mines in
he University Of Utah that new
contract has been signed with officials
of the United States bureauof mines,
is of more Importance than appears
on the surface. It means that the
metallurgical work in the university
can be carried on more extensively
than ever before.
And what is this "metallurgica"
work? Just this. Utah contains vast
quantities of low grade zinc and lead
ores which have not been developed
because no commercial processes
have been found for extracting the
minerals. The whole purpose of the
bureau of mines here at the present
time is the discovering Of such pro-
cesses.
Research work Of an intensive char
acter is being carried on in the uni.
| versity laboratories with this objec.
tive aim. Four big companies are
maintaining men there. Besides these
there are a number Of graduate stu
dents doing special work in metal
lurgy. Any student graduated from
the mining or chemical courses can
enter this department for his masters
degree. and there are various fellow.
ships to aid such students.
Nothing which Is discovered or de-
veloped in these laboratories can be
patented by individuals. 1t belongs to
the public, having been done at pub
lie expense.
The University Of Utah is now one
Of the best places in the United States
for such research work. Salt Lake
City is the greatest smelling center
in the country, SO the nearness Of
mines and shelters offers fine oppor
tunity for actual contact. The burea,
of mines here receives an annual ap
preparation from the national govern
ment Of about $4,000 while the uni
versity department with which 1t will
work in the closest cooperation re
ceives from the state about $500 pc
year. Such mining work as this is log
ically the special field OF the Utal
: engineering school.
