CARRANZA'S LATEST MOVE

The rumors coming out of Mexico that Carranza
would soon request the Withdrawal of the American punt
tive expedition have crystalized into fact. And this eli
max came even earlier than the rumors indicated.
And what will be our next step, and what Will be
lie the effect if we should withdraw? Already we stand,
i'll the view of the Mexican masses, as a race of towards,
and but for that Columbus would never have been ralded
and Pershing would not now be in Mexico.
We have been told from Washington, day after day,
vt cooperation by Carranza troops, but how are to be
licve this and believe also that Carranza, while withhold
ing the use of the railroads was also impatient for the
withdrawal of our troops, an Impotence voiced today IN
official protest.
Carranza wants the personal glory of the capture or
the death of Villa. He has failed miserably, but he be-
lieves it necessary to the perpetuatlOn of his own power.
And if Our mission has been accomplished and Car
rama has sufficient troops to capture and punish Villa,
WHY has'h he permitted the bandit leader unhindered to
lead our troops 400 miles into the country where his sui
ficient troops are supposed to be?
We are asked from both Washington and OueretarO
to believe too much. If Carranza had wanted Pershing to
catch Villa, and if Carranza controls his own troops, then
Villa would not be 100 miles from the scene of the Colum-
bus raid.

THE REAL GASOLINE SITUATION

Alfred Reeves, who is connected with the ASSOCIATION
which includes one hundred automobile manufacturers,
has said some sensible things on gasoline. lie goes SO Iar
as to predict economic gains from the present hlgh prices.
You will not find gasoline spilled all through garages
and chauffeurs will no longer use it to wash their hands H.
Gasoline will be conserved. The manufacturers OF au'c
mobiles will perfect devices for getting more miles out u
each gallon of the explosive fluid. They may invent en-
gines that will burn substitutes, cruder oils or aicohoiS.
1t used to be that engines would not run snoothly wiz
gasoline under a test of 6S; now they do very we'll WltE
a test of So.
In the meantime, he says, all talk OF Investigations
and what not is mere talk. Millions might be sPer' even
by congress without changing the situation: mere ae
MANY legitimate reasons for the present higher prices;
the most important are the demands that come H"m
Europe and the ever increasing demands OF nome Co"
sumption. with 100000 cars in operation IN the Il.ten
States alone. Such a consumption, constantly 1ncre@SihS'
was bound sooner or later to change the whole s,'na'f'.'
The change has come quicker than 1t was loohe'i TO-
superinduced by the wars in the world.

THE LITERACY TEST

1t is said that President Wilson will veto the immi-
grafton bill because of the inclusion OF the so-called liter
acy test and it is sincerely to be hoped that he will. 1t
is also to be hoped that enough congressman will come
to their senses to prevent the passage of the bill over his
veto. For in this matter the president is everlastingly
right. The immigrants this country has to fear are not
those who cannot pass a liter AIRY test, but those who can.
The truth is that our really dangerous immigrants-the
anarchists, socialists, revolutlon1sts and preachers OF sedl-
tion-are highly educated men and women. They have
been expelled from the lands Of their nativity as unde-
sirables and come troOping to our shores with hell in
their hearts and the ignoble resolve to do all the damage
in their power to American Institutions. They are ire
ligious, lazy, vicious and criminal, and they become sores
on the body polite, producing nothing of good and pro
voking only mischief. On the contrary the ilhterate Euro
pean peasant who leaves his fatherland with his family
comes to America as a land of promise. He comes to
work and to provide for his little ones advantages which
he himself could not enjoy. Some of the best blood in
America today has come from the illiterate peasants OF
Europe, and their children and grandchildren today hold
positions high in business, educational, political and re
ligious activities. They have given us the best we have.
A literary test is no more a test OF fitness than would be
the color OF hair or size of ears. This country today hasn't
hall as much to fear from illiteracy as from misdirected
llteraCV.

ATLANTA ANNUAL REPORT

by the process of oil flotation, have
been very successful and it is the
intention of that company to greatly
enlarge it's present 50-ton plant.
Still another plant, designed to
treat ores by the same process, is
now nearing completion in Gold
field. 1t is not unlikely that ar
engagements might be made for the
treatment Of u ores in one or the
other Of these planes, or it may fol-
low that our future development ol.
milling grade ore may be sufficiently
extensive to Justify an installation
of our own.
Another possibility, which always
exists in a property of this char
acter, is the development of higher
grade ores which can be profitably
shipped to smelters.
The management feels that the
outlook for the property at the
present time is probably more sub
stantially encouraging than at any
previous time, and it will be the
policy of the company to continue
developments along the present
lines, taking advantage of the fire.
Quently recurring opportunities for
shipment of h~igh-grade ores to
smelters, and at the same time
putting in sight as much milling
ore as possible, local treatment for

available at a future date.
The cost of operation of the COM
pany's property during the past
year has been largely in excess OF
its earning capacity and at the
present time the company has an
Indebtedness of $S5,342.S5. Fol-
lowing is a statement of the re-
ceipts and disbursements of the
company for the fiscal year end

Yesterday we were told from numerous points in
Mexico that Villa is dead. He died of blood poisoning;
he died from lack of surgical aid; he was killed in action.
His wound was in the left knee, in the right knee, in the
hip, in the shoulder, in the stomach and in the right thigh
and abdomen. And then we were told, what most of us
believed, that he wasn't wounded at all.
And during all this time we have been advised from
Carranza sources that the object Of the American eNpe-
dition has been accomplished and the American troops
should withdraw. And this suggests that the man in
eravest danger in all of Mexico is the man outside the
Villa forces who looks like Villa, for who will doubt that
if such a man be found he will readily be offered up as a
sacrifice and his corpse palmed off as that of the bandit
leader.
When Carranza wanted the use of American rail
roads to transport troops and ammunition across United
States territory to fight Villa he got them. He also got
licked and Villa invaded the United States. When we
pursue the outlaws that infest his country and invade ours
With the use of the railroads by United States troops
Villa would no longer be a menace to either country,
and there would be no longer necessity to circulate re
ports of his death in order to get American troops out OF
Mexico. In the meantime look out for the man who
looks like Villa.
While Mr.. Brandeis may not have enough of the
judicial temperament, DR.. Waite seems to have possessed

Often necessary to bear in mind that the classified

Now comes a demand for Alaska to be divided INTO
two governmental territories. The interests and the sen
timents of the scattered peoples are said to be diverse
enough to make a division advisable, II not necessary.
Alaska, it may be remarked, is a big country. we have
no conception of its extent of territory. But VIII two
Governments yield results comparable with the additional
expenditures required?

which had been driven from the
175O to the 14OO-foot level for the
purpose of ventilation. This work
has explored the vein between the
1850 and the 14O0-foot levels and
for a length of approximately 3OO
feet, and has disclosed a quantity
of ore of a milling grade, which is
of too low grade for shipment to the
smelters, and a small quantity OF a
higher grade ore, which has been
shipped to the shelters.
Owing to the irregular shape ana
value of the ore deposits, 1T is I'M
possible to give an estimate OF The
tonnage and value of ore the mlne
NAV be expected to produce.
At the present time a cross-cut is
being driven on the 15SO-foot level
to intercept, on Atlanta ground, the
downward extension of a vein,
which has produced a large tonnage
of ore on the upper levels of the
Grizzly Bear claim of the Coli
field Consolidated Mines company.
This cross-cut is penetrating a
quartz zone, samples from which are
giving assay values of from 81
to Sc per ton.
AS we have not developed a ton
mage of ore that can be actually
measured, sufficient to justify the
installation of a mill, the future
of your property depends on several
conditions, namely: The possibility
OF local treatment of such milling
grade ore as has been disclosed ami
other similar ore which may be
subsequently developed.
In this connection it may be stated

GETTING READY FOR PEACE

The nations al war are all making preparations for the
resumption of commerce after the war. But 1t should not
be assumed from this that peace Is about to come, although
it will have to come. But the nations are simply taking
some thought of the future. The moment the strain OF
war is over there must be the resumption of the ordinary
activities OF life or there will be discomfort and even
disturbances. The people must have something to do and
that something that will enable them to live under the
normal conditions. The ending Of the war would throw
millions OF men back into the ordinary channels OF IN
dustrv. They cannot be kept in ldleness. Therefore ma
tons like France and Germany are looking about Tor ships
to be in readiness to carry their commerce and for raw
materials with which to supply their factories. Germany
has in storage in this country vast supplies OF such ma
terials, including copper and cotton and even corn: these
will be rushed across the seas the moment there is peace.
1t is part of the ~proverbial long sightedness of that people.
But from such purchases and policies we should not draw
hastv conclusions about peace prospects.
/. 1t now costs something like 90 cents to ship a bushel
of wheat to England. Before the war, occasionally the
oct across the ocean and back with good fat cargOes can
almost paw for itself. And still wars are supposed to be
helpful things in the world. Could any claim be more
ridiculous?
The railroad managers and the railroad brotherhoods
are talking to each other like the irresistible force and
the immovable obstacle. And if they really clash the
American public will be drafted for the always calamitous
role Of innocent bystander.
