Potash From Iron Ores.
Manufacturers Record)

According to Charles Catlett. an
eminent chemist and geologist. with
long experience as an expert for many
of the great steel corporations of the
country, including the old Carnegie
Steel Company. and. of later years, the
United States Steel Corporation, pot
ash as by-product in ironmaking is
now feasible to an extent which Will
greatly lessen the cost Of iron produc-
ton and make available supply of
potash which can be increased to meet
the fullest needs Of the country, max
ing us entirely independent Of Ger
many.
Mr.. Catlett goes back in his investi-
CATION to Sir Lowthian Bells monu-
mental work on the chemical phe-
nomena of iron smelling. and shows
that Sir Lowthian called attention to
the presence of potash in some iron
ores and discussed the formation of
potassium cyanide IN the furnace and
its influence on iron smelling. Strange
10 say. Sir Lowthian Bells investiga-
tons and report on the matter seem
to have been entirely overlooked or
ignored. But Investigations made by
Mr.. Catlett show the feasibility of saw
ing the potash in ores wherever it is
found and securing as a by-product
potassium cyanide. which at present
prices would exceed in value the total
value Of the pigiron produced
Taking as an illustration of what
may be done, certain iron ores in Ala
bama which carry a large percentage
of potash, he states that even at prices
prevailing before the war. the potas-
SUM cyanide by-product in furnaces
operating on these ores would be equal
in value to s24 ton for every ton Of
iron made. OF course, on the basis Of
present prices Of potash, the figures
would be three or four times as large,
but using the ante-bellum prices Of
potash, Mr.. Catlett says the possible
values are startling and fully justify
he earnest consideration Of all furn-
ace operators

Training Camp Money.
(New York Times)

Unless Congress chooses TO confirm
the suspicious already rather wide
spread. that its members are not quite
as representative Of the American pub
lie as they claim and ought to be, it
will heed and act upon the plea made
by the executive committee Of the Mill
tary Training Camps Association. What
the committee asks is immediate appro-
priation of the money needed to carry
out the provisions of the army reorgan-
ization law as to paying the expenses
Of the men seeking military instruc-
ton. Y
Until and unless this is done the
camps will be available only for two
classes of recruits-those for whom the
expenditure of from $40 to $50 out Of
their own pockets is a matter OF no
serious consequence and those whose
employers are able and willing TO sub
ject themselves to special tax 10 Sc
cure a benefit that is general, not spe-
cial II is distinctly undesirable that
the attendance at the camps should be
thus restricted. They should be In the
strictest and fullest sense democratic,
open TO all young men who have, with
an inclination TO serve their country ef-
hciently, the only requisite qualihca-
tions. and those are not financial, but
physical and mental.
Whether or not the amount needed
is as large as that for which the com
nittee asks is a question on which there
can still be honest and intelligent differ
ences of opinion, but whatever may be
the really necessary sum, II should be
allotted. and promptly. The problem is
one not difficult OF solution, and only the
pacifsts. including those who wear the
name because OF a sincere delusion and
those for whom ii cloaks a sinister wish
to prevent or delay the country's escape
from its present state of unreadiness TO
meet the possibilities of the future-only
these will object to an investment Of
public money from which profitable re-
turns are sure.
The undeniable chance that these train
ing camps for volunteers may turn out
to be only a first step toward what is
called, with more Of convenience than
accuracy. universal and compulsory MILL
tary service, may provide congress with
an excuse for cutting of or down their
maintenance at public expense That ex-
cuse. however is daily becoming less
colorado" as opportunities for express
ing the country's feeling on that subject
arise and are utilized.

Mr.. Catlett takes the ground that
where ores such as these potash bear
ing ores are used, more than six tons
Of potassium cyanide can be saved as
a by-product for every 100 tons of iron
produced On other general run OF
ores there is a possible saving Of from
81 to s. a ton. or an aggregate saving
in our iron production that may run
from $4,000 900 to $50, 100000 a year il
the cost Of the iron output of the
country. 1t is now possible, under the
utilization of this system, which is
open to the public, for US to become
entirely independent Of Germany for
potash and increase our supply to a
sufficient extent to meet our expanding
needs for fertilizers and other uses.
