The Premier added that he much
doubted whether the disproportion be-
tween the men and the rifle strength
was so great as Colonel Churchill had
reported 1t to be.
MIR AsQuith said the same rules were
not applicable to the British army AS
TO the other belltgercnts. because Eng
land had TO send every man and every
ounce of supplies across the sea. The
government, however. were taking the
most effective steps in consultation
with the proper authorities 20 ascertain
the poss billy OF utilizing larger
proportion of men on the lighting line.
Mr.. Asquith announced that n notable
reduction was being made In the num-
Der OF officers on the STATS at home.
He considered the army, the country
and the empire were under debt Earl
ured In words. especially aimee Earl
Kitchener had been appointed to the
War OfRcc. There was no other man
in the empire, Mr.. Asquith asserted,
who could summon into existence in
so short time and with such little
friction and with such surprisingly
satisfactory results. the army now ir
the field, as had Earl Kitchener. In
history that would be regarded as one
of the most remarkable achievements
ever accomplished.

HAVE FAITH IN UNITED STATES

CHAPEL HILL. N c.. May 3l.--No
doubt remains In the Latin American
world that the United States has sought
to treat the American governments on
a basis of equality and cooperation.
Secretary McAdoo told the graduating
class OF the University of North Caro-
lima at the commencement exercises
here to-day. He discussed the inter-
national relations between this and the
Latin American countries.
The Monroe Doctrine has grown" he
said, and, as conditions have changed,
has taken on new light that binds
us closer than ever, not only against
territorial expansion or encroa chments.
but in renewed interest In the devel-
opment OF their customs and ins,ttu-
tons.
NO doubt could rcmain-and am
happy to say that no doubt does re-
main--in the American world that
we have sought to treat all the gov
ernments Of America on basis OF
equality and cooperation"
The university conferred upon Mr..
McAdoo the degree of doctor OF laws.

The management of the Arizona
Copper Company does not consider it
advisable to permit bathing in the
deep water end of their large reser-
voir during the summer months, I'M
less certain conditions are fulfilled,
enabling the company to maintain 4
Waterman during the hours for swim
ming, and to install certain safety
devices considered necessary under
existing conditions. All who are
interested in this sport and wish to
use the reservoir should give their
names to Arthur Crowfoot, superin-
tendent, and as the expense of the
Waterman should be covered by those
using the reservoir, the number of
names will determine the amount to
be charged. The hours for swimming
will also be set for certain time and
all precautions taken to safeguard
against any accident. The company
wants to be as liberal as possible
with their large reservoir, but the
promiscuous swimming of youngsters
all ages and sizes has made it nee
essary to make the above announce
ment.

MINE
WONDER OF
WORLD

George l.. Walker, perhaps the
greatest copper writer in the world
in the Boston Commercial says that
Inspiration, if it produces 100000
900 pounds of copper this year at
a cost of cents per pound and sells
it at % cents, will make a profit Of
100000 or $2,000,000 more
than has been expended for the pur-
chase and equipment of the property.
Mr.. Walker says:
inspiration did not begin produc-
ing copper regularly until June,
1915. Up to that time the stupendous
sum of s15,O00OO0 had been expend-
ed to acquire its properties, develop
and equip them, and hundreds of the
stockholders were wondering wheth-
er the mine ever would be worth what
it had cost.
1T is now reasonably certain that
Inspiration will earn back in profits
during the twelve months of 1916 the
entire amount that abs been invest
ed in its properties. If it produces
loo, 100000 pounds Of copper at
cost Of eight cents and sells 1t at an
average of 25 cents as now seems
likely, it will make a profit of ST.
o00, 600 One of the large holders
of Inspiration figures that the stock
is worth at least $50 share.
This years operations should re-
suit in net earnings Of SIS share,
or more than 80 per cent on the
present selling price Of Inspiration
stock. Within a, few months the
company should be producing at the
rate of 10000, 900 pounds Of copper
annually at a cost of eight cents .
pound With such an output In
spiration could earn $3.50 share
on Is cent metal market, 10
per cent on a valuation of SIS for its
stock.
