EYES OF THE NATION
ON MISS RANKIN

The election of a woman to con.

amount Of interest, as a result of
"the late unpleasantness," now that
the question of Hughes or Wilson
has been finally answered. As a re-
suit, Miss jeanette Rankin of Mont.
ana. congresswoman or congressette
as has been suggested, is the most
talked of person in the United States.
Among the many questions that
have arisen regarding this Innovation
in congress, 1t was inevitable that
the question of the constitutional
rights of woman to sit in congress
should be brought into the discuss
ion. The New York World raises
the technical issue. The World
says:
The constitution says that the
house of representatives shall
be composed of members" elect
ed as prescribed. and that no
person" shall serve as member
who does not meet certain re-

ness From Germany

CnrlStlanla, norway, NOV. "a
Norway, with the third largest mer-
camille marine in the world, has suf-
fered severe losses. Up to date they
have totaled: One hundred and fifty
steamers of 235,9O0 tons, insured by
the War Insurance association" for
$25, 100000; sailing ships aggregat-
ing $4,000 tons, and insured for ST.
888,00O, and many sailing craft load
ed with lumber and pit props for
England, which were not insured.
One hundred and fifty sailors have
lost their lives, so of them by Ger
man torpedoes from submarines and
the others when ships have been de-
stroyed by mines. Besides these.
many boats have been taken by bel
ligerants and confiscated after prize
court proceedings.
Germany, after few months rest
suddenly started submarine war
fare against Norwegian ships last
September much sharper and more
merciless than ever before-exposing
the lives of many sailors to the dan
gers of the Artic storms. At the same
time, 1t is declared, hostile cam
paign against Norway was launched
in the German press, all OF which the
Norwegian people have been unable
has tried to preserve its neutrality,
the more dissatisfied, according to
the Norwegian viewpoint, has the
chauvinistic press been, and papers
such as the Koelntsche Zeitung and
Frankfurter Zeitung very often have
threatened mercantile reprisals after
the war.
Nothing seems to have created a
greater bitterness in Germany against
Norway that the government ordi-
nances prohibiting the export of GER
tain foodstuffs, which Norway needs
for itself-especially the ordinance
of last August prohibiting exports of
certain kinds of fish. Although fish
ing is one of Norway's main trades,
yielding a great surplus for export,
since the war so much fish has been
exported that there has not been
enough left for Norway itself and
the country has been deprived of one
of its main foodstuffs. The export to
Germany has been increasing to such
an extent that the people demanded
that the government should take
steps to provide fish enough for the
home market.
After the torpedoing by German
submarines of Norwegian ships in
the Arctic ocean and along the coast
this fall, the ordinance of October 13
was passed, which, like the Swedish,
forbids belligerant submarines the
use of Norwegian waters.
| The Germans themselves declare
they do not need and never used Nor.
wegian waters in their warfare. Ev-
erybody here, then, asks how the
Norwegian ordinance can be taken as
alone directed against Germany and
how it can be taken as an attempt
to tamper with the German machin-
cry. The press-except the socialist
fc papers-unanimously stand by the
government in this case and will
support its upholding the right Of
Norway to keep the sovereignty on
its own territory.

Jas Announced that Second Expedi. tion will be Larger than First 
 and Expects Results.

CHICAGO, Feb. S.-Henry Ford is not discouraged because his peace expedition failed of accomplishing even the least of the many great things which he had hoped. He be iieves he will yet succeed in bring. ing the soldiers of the warning Euro. pean nations from the trenches and has announced ;, that another new peace ship will start soon and that the expedition will be on larger scale than the first.
 Ford has declined to make public any statement concerning his plans for the new expedition or of the man. aer in which he hopes to interest the neutral nations of Europe in his self imposed task for the benefit of hui. manity.
 The manufacturer has been in daily conference with Jane Addams, Bryan and other peace advocates and 1t is. beiiBred that some definite plan has been evolved which they have reason to believe will appeal to the governments of the belligerent nations of Europe.

Guards Have Been Paced cn Bridges
 to Prevent Bomb Being Dropped on American Ships.

NEW YORK, Feb. 8-The destruc- tion of the Dominion parliament buildings at Ottawa and the attempt to dynamite the Italian, consular agent at Milwaukee has caused the government ofiicials to fear that . gigantic conspiracy has been organ lzed by agents of the belligerent na- tions of Europe to carry the war into America. "
 r Agents of the department of Jus tice have recommended every pre- caution be taken for the protection of government buildings as it is fear ed that attempts may be made to de- stroy them. The navy department has closed the navy yards to all visi- tors and civilians are no longer al- lowed aboard warships in the har- bor. '"-''-"'-
 Guards have been placed on the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges to guard against the possibility of bombs being dropped on the decks of warships while they are passing under the bridges. In addition to uniformed policement scores of off, cers in civilian dress mingle with the crowds on the bridges and scrutinize all suspicious persons, especially when vessels are under the bridges.

This ore will run on an average better than 50 per cent pure antimony, so that the total production of the me cal will be fully 20O0 tons for the season, or more than one-fourth the total amount needed in the United States and Canada.
 According to the Mining and En- gineering World, no antimony is coming from Europe, from the mar ket which formerly supplied the world prior to the outbreak of the war. What antimony ore is not fur nished from the mines in this coun- try comes from Japan and China, but the ore from these far eastern cnuI- tries is said to be not as good as .hat of the United States.

EXPECT FAIRBANKS TO
 PRODUCE MUCH ANTHONY

To many people of Fairbanks tho talk of antimony production was one big joke and it probably will be a surprise to them to learn that dur ing the next six months the Panama valley will probably produce one quarter of all the antim0nY3 needed; in the United States and Canada for, a whole year, or half the amount needed for the period durins' which it is produced. According to the :Minl ing and Engineering World, the to- tai consumption of antimohy in the United States and Canada Is from six hundred to seven hundred tons per month. ." ',,,...
 The antimony actually consumed in the United States is only about 50 per cent as great as 1t was prior to the war and in normal times, as It is not being used except in cases of ab- solute necessity owing to the high price demanded for metal. :" <.
 From the figures Of the Mining and Engineering World. the consumption is fixed at from 500 to 700 tons per month. Assuming that it is $50 tons every thirty days, the total consump- tion for a year would be 7800 tons.
