Secretary Lansing went to the White
House at 10 o'clock this morning and con-
ferred with President Wilson on the lat
est communication submitted to this Gov
ernment by Germany on the submarine
policy to be inaugurated at midnight to-
night.
Before going to the White House the
Secretary was asked II the optimism over
the international situation as recorded in
the press was warranted by the facts He
replied that the State Department would
issue statement saying reports were un-
justified by the facts.
The Secretary was obviously out of pa
tience with certain lengthy statements
credited to the State Department which
tended to indicate that the negotiations
with Germany had reached a most salts
factory point. He said he had made no
comment whatever on the situation and
that nothing that had been said in his
department could have been construed as
being an optimistic view "or any other
kind of a view" on the situation.
The Secretary remained with the Presi-
dent until the Cabinet meeting at IL
o'clock
The statement given out at his office
later, follows:

Tungsten is probably the most
remarkable mineral known. Pure
metallic ductile tungsten is practi-
cally insolublc in any common acid; ;
its melting point is higher than any
other metal; its tensile strength ex-
ceeds that of steel; it is para-mag-
netic; it can be drawn to a smaller
size than any other metal, and its
specific gravity is 20 per cent great
er than lead. And what is more to
the point, Colorado contains more
tungsten than any other state or
possibly all other states in the
Union.

Violations of the new Prohibition
laws began as early ss Monday to
cause annoyance to Sheriff johnson.
who on that date received circular
letter of a California brewing concern,
which, according to the postmark. had
been mailed in Hood River the day be-
fore If it we're intended that the
sheriff be made the victim of a practi-
cal joke, the joke may rebound and
prove boomerang for the perpetrator
for the officer has been on the trail of
the guilty party.
However. it does not appear that the
sheriff was singled out as the victim of
a joke, since other local citizens have
reported the receipt Of letters, mailed
in violation of law.
