REVIEWS GOLD SEARCH
in Sight OF CAPITAL
Turkish Engineer Drills to Depth Of
1000 Feet in Abandoned Mines
Of Great Falls.

Sixteen miles from the Capital. within
sight OF the Washington Monument,
operations have been undertaken on a
large scale in a search for gold. On the
old Ford farm, in Montgomery County,
two or three miles from the Potomac
River. dimond drills arc at work prob
ing for quartz veins carrying the
precious metal. Nuggets have already
been found, but whether ore exists in
paying quantities Is yet TO be determined.
The prospecting operations have been
undertaken by A. A. Hsssan. a native
of Turkey. by profession a gcologist and
mining engineer, who has worked in
mining camps in all parts of the world.
He calls his prospect THE Great Falls
of Maryland Mime He admits that he
has found free gold, and more than 100
men are busy looking for the veins
whence they came.
Vine covered pits on the Ford farm at
test the fact that the search for gold is
not new. These were dug a generation
ago and it is said that they Yielded a
small quantity of gold.
Hassan has acquired control of the
property, which now Is scared with
trenches cut down to bedrock. Three
diamond drills have penethated a thou
sand feet in search for the hidden vein.
The work, say the engineers, has hardly
begun.

is there to protect American citizens and
American interests.
On that basis Intervention is thoroughly
justifable. 1t is logical; it is a policy of
prudence We cannot afford TO allow Mex
lean territory all along our southern bor-
der to be converted into base of opera
tions for bandits and raiders. Most of
that territory is now No Mans Land, so
far as civil order is concerned 1t is our
duty to restore government and security
there in our own interest, whether Next
cans agree or not that such a restoration
will also be in their interest.
Secretary Lansing is to be congratulated
on his latest Mexican note. At last light is
dawning in Washington and the shallow
sentimentalism which long befogged our
Mexican diplomacy is being blown away.

Whether trade ever follows flag or not
cricket trails the British ensign from
Kingston to Rangoon Americans can be
as scornful of the great English game as
they choose. For better or worse 1t has
the globe, and left base
ball poor second among the cosmopolitan
games. The sun never sets on cricket, we
can be sure.
Our friends the Canadians are the prin-
,ipa exception to the British rule. They
have shown themselves as loyal to the en-
Dire in a crisis as the heartiest imperlallst
could desire; yet they have liking FOR
their own independence in such lesser mat
ters as sports. Their native game of la
crosse has always had the call over cricket
And to-day baseball has made such head
way that cricket stands distinctly minor
sport, almost as infrequent as in the
States. The tea party leisure Of it fits in
no better with Dominion tastes and tempo
than with our own.
Hence the odd result that baseball is at
last being acclmated on the British Isles
not by American example, but by Cana
dams whom the war has brought to Lon
don. Our exhibition teams have visited
England in the past with small results.
Now a league has been formed from teams
composed of Canadian hospital workers and
other war units and interest in the game
has spread rapidly. With the decline of
other sports since the outbreak of the war
there seems a good chance that baseball
will survive long enough to receive far
trial. Skepticism suggests that some deep
seated British characteristics must be mod
fled before it can prevail over British
tradition. But it now has its chance, at
any rate.
Japan is. of course, the other great con-
quest thus far achieved by baseball. There
a temperamental affinity for the game made
its entrance easy. Although comparatively
new it has gone fast and far. Japan has
as vet no professional teams, but they are
always an afterthought, arriving only
when bleachers can be filled with gradu-
ates from the back lot diamonds. Baseball
is a major sport in the japanese colleges
and is widely played in the lower grades Of
schools. American coaches have been i'm
ported to teach the finer points, and alto
gether the westward flight of baseball is
most promising. Perhaps some day it too,
like cricket, will never see a setting sun.

Especial Privileges of Women

To the Editor of The Tribune.
/ Sir: On Sunday evening several weeks ago,
four disorderly houses in Poughkeepse were
raded by the police, ffty-nine men being ar
rested. and ten women. The District At
torney of Poughkeepsie. who, by the way.
is anti-suffragist, ordered that the names
OF the ten women found in the raid be pub
llshed, but those of the men were to be
suppressed. Accordingly, next day, several
city papers came out with an account Of
the raid in glazing headlines and in no
small print gave the names OF tie women
arrested. Not one name of any of the fifty
nine gentlemen" was given. The papers
said that a number Of prominent Pough-
keepsie gentlemen" were among them. The
District Attorney made the excuse, when
asked by indignant women through the papers
why he had been 80 partial TO the men,
that "the men had families who might feel
badly TO hear Of their arrest! The District
Attorney is coming up for reelection soon, so
votes count.
/ fear the publication OF the women's names
in this case was only another case Of "wom-
ems special privileges" The anti-suffragsts
have been wont to conjure up awful fears
about the Special privileges" women in New
York State might lose should they get the
Nott Hutl HlbHI NOI lllb lHelI mats as lot
merly, give up seats in streetcars, and oh,
horror of horrors! not pick up handkerchiefs
when dropped as agilely as heretoforel
These fears not being realized in states
where women have had the vote for many
years witness tho West, where they do
see lifted hats, seats in streetcars and picked
up Landkerchiefs as plentiful as ever; yes,
even more so, for discourtesy to those with
more power Is not the ordinary rule Of human
nature-it is high time to look about for
new fears. SO suggest 10 our anti-suffra-
gist friends, in the light OF our honored Dis
trict Attorneys recent decision that the names
Of women found in houses of shame be pub
lished, and those of the men be suppressed
that new fear to conjure be that in the
event of New York State women getting
the vote this special privilege of having
their names published in such cases be lost
Alas! for the age Of chvary, when women
shall be treated like men.

Iron The Minneapolis Jorrralo
The minting, in new design. Of silver half
dollars, quarter dollars and dimes will begin
on July l next II has been twenty-five
years since the dies Of these coins have been
changed. and there has been curiosity to see
what the artists have done for the new disks.
On one side Of the new silver half dollar
will appear figure OF Liberty, outlined
against an unfurled American flag The god
dess carries an armful of laurel and the
rising sun at which she is gazing is said to
be symboIcal Of the dawn Of new day
On the reverse side appears the eagle with
outstretched wings perched on q crag.
The quarter dollars are said to be stamped
with equally attractive designs. and both
coins carry the historic phrase, In God We
Trust"
Work on these coins has cost the Treasury
Department much thought and labor To the
numismatician every figure. flower and
branch on them has It's significance. II is
prophesied that the coins Will be more popu-
lar than the buffalo nickel" has proved
though there has been no great complaint Of
that coin. The Lincoln penny mas won its
way to popular regard and promises 70 con
tinue with us for some time.
