MINERAL PRODUCTION BIG
Figures of Survey Indicate Output of
Lead and Zinc is Enormous.

Washington. = Preliminary figures
compiled by the geological survey in
dicate that the country's production OF
lead and zinc ores during the first
half of 1916 far exceeded that of an.
previous six months period. The out
put of zinc is estimated in a survey
statement tonight at 25 to 80 per
cent. greater than that Of the same
monhs las year. Shipmens OF sphal-
erite concentrates from the Joplin dis
trict alone amounted to 10000 tons,
compared to 100000 tons during the
entire II months of 1915. Unsold
stocks of zinc concentrates in June
were larger than usual, but lead con-
centrates were in unusual demand
with prices almost double the average
for 1915.

COAL PRODUCTION
SHOWS INCREASE

Washington.-Figures Of the United
States geological survey show that
the output of bituminous coal in the
United States during the past six
months has been the greatest ever re-
corded in any half-year period.
Estimates by c. E. Lesher, of the
survey, based on returns from over
100 railroads originating coal and
coax shipments, indicate that the pro-
duction during this period was 261,-
100000 tons, an increase of 35 per
cent. over the first six months of 1915
and of per cent over the last six
months of thes anne year, and greater
by several million tons than the record
established in the last half of 1918.

would now be insisted upon.
"Both military and naval officers,
and especially those of both services
who have been stationed in the canal
zone, and in waters adjacent thereto
are agreed that the zone should not
be less than 80 miles in width, and
preferably 40 miles.
"The present European war has
proved that, as in the case of Dun
kirk, a town can be subjected to an
effective bombardment by artillery,
aided by airships, with the hostile
guns emplaced at distance of % or
% miles from their objective. While
such distances may be regarded as eX-
treme, and while it does not seem
likely that hostile eXpeditionary
force will succeed in transporting and
landing guns of caliber sufficient to
lombard the canal from distance as
great as the above, it is nevertheless
entirely practicable to transport and
land, without great difficulty, guns of
a caliber sufficient to effectively bonn
bard the canal at distances varying
from 10000 to 10000 yards. So that
if the canal is to be regarded as
reasonably secure from hostile at
tack we must be prepared to prevent
an enemy reaching a point within
from IL to Is miles of the locks and
other vulnerable utilities of the canal.
This can only be done by going out
to meet the enemy wherever he may
elect to land his troops, by opposing
his advance by every means in our
power and by establishing field works
several miles in advance of the pres
ent boundry lines of the Canal zone.

GERMAN SUBMARINE CAUSES
NEW COMPLICATIONS

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-(SpeciaD
The arrival in American waters of
the giant German submarine liner
Deutchland is regarded in official cir
cles here as an epoch marking event,
not only because it foreshadows pos
sible new methods of warfare in the
present tsruggle in Europe, but for the
reason that it presents to the United
States new problems Of defense.
Among the interesting results,
either actual or prospective, of Ger
mans feat in sending this pioneer
submersible merchant vessel across
the Atlantic with cargo of merchan-
disc, are the following:
With a sufficient number of sub
marine merchantmen Germany can
defeat entirely the British blockade,
which has produced a shortage not
only of food but of war materials in
the central powers.
With only the Deutschland Ger
many can thwart entirely the British
censorship of the mails and increase
its gold reserve by sending American
securities to the United States fol

This report will be accompanied by

HOW TO FREEZE DESSERTS

With ice cream freezer, Durlap bag,
wooden mallet or AK, small saucepan,
sufficient ice and coarse rock salt, the
process neither takes much time or
patience. Crush the ice finely by
placing in bag an dgiving Il few blows
with mallet or broadside of AK. If
there are any coarse pieces, remove
them. Place can containing mixture
to be frozen in wooden tub cover and
adjust top. Turn crank to make sure
can its in socket. Allow three level
measures Of ice to one of salt, and
repeat until ice and salt come to top
of can, packing solidly, using handle
of mallet to force it down. If only
small quantity is to be frozen the ice
and salt need come only little high
er in the tub than mixture to be
frozen. These are found the best pro-
portions of ice and salt to insure fine
grained cream, sherbet or water ice.
while equal parts of salt and ice are
used for freezing frappe.
The mixture increases in bulk dur
ing freezing, so the can should never
be more than three fourths filled; by
over crowding the can cream will be
made coarse grained. Turn the crank
slowly and steadily to expose as large
surface of mixture as possible to ice
and salt. After frozen to mush, the
crank may be turned more rapidly,
adding more ice and salt is needed.
Never draw Off salt water until mix
ture is frozen, unless there is poSsi-
hility of its getting into the can, for
salt water is what effects freezing
until ice melts, no change will take
place. After freezing is accomplish
ed, draw off water, remove dasher

Germany's submarine liner.

sale.
BY loading the Deutschland for the
return voyage with cargo of war
amunitions Germany will destroy it's
own argument that the United States
has been unneutral because the allies
were able and the central powers I'M
able to obtain and safely transport
American products.
In arming the submarine mer-
chantman with two small defense
guns Germany also has abandoned
the contention that any armament
makes a vessel Il ship of war subject
to attack without warning.
The Deutschland feat lowers the
ocean bulwark" of the United States
and compels the nation to reckon with
conditions under which it will be pos
sible for an enemy to dispatch hun
dreds of great submarines across the
Atlantic and Pacific.
If the voyage of the Deutschland
sounds the knell of British sea SUI
premacy the United States faces a
possible menace to the maintenance
of the Monroe doctrine.

problem that will confront United

cific entrance of the canal when there
is a powerful enemy fleet of strength
waiting near the canal entrance. The
opinion of military men is now made
up that additional heavy guns must
be placed on Taboga Island about IL
miles from the canal exit in order to
hold an enemy fleet at a distance be-
yond which it cannot damage our
fleet before it can take battle for
