 SECURE COPPER
Government Establishes Smell ters For Converting Cash Into Copper, As Result of Actions of Japanese.

The Chinese government has under taken the establishment of smelters for the purpose of melting cash into copper and thus putting a stop to the enormous profits which have been made lately by foreigners and private individuals. Owing to the copper in cash being worth more than the cur rency value of the coin, various com panies. especially Japanese, have been buying the boarded cash of China, turning them into commercial copper, and exporting it to the belligerent countries to be used in the manufac- ture of munitions. The rise in the price of copper has been so great and the corresponding demand has been so active, that it is estimated that in the last six months Japanese deal CTS have imported copper from north ern China alone at a profit of S60,- 100000 silver.
 Recently a group of Chinese mer- chants, known as the Paoli Syndicate, obtained lease from the government permitting them to buy quantity of the cash. but the opposition through out the country was so great uaat the government withdrew permission and will undertake the work itself. A special body has been formed with a working capital of s10,000,O00. Of which the government will advance s1.000.000 and allowance has been made for a portion of the remainder to be raised by private subscription. Smelling plants will be built in Tien- tsin and other provinces, and, accord ing to the Far Eastern Bureau, the hoarding of cash to sell to Japanese collectors and the smuggling of de stroyed coins out of the country will be stopped.

DEVICES TO PROTECT SOLDIERS FROM GAS
 ATTACKS PERFECTED
United States Bureau of Mines Promises To Play Important Part In War; All Experts Are Busy.

The United States Bureau of Mines promises to play an important part in the war, particularly for its devices which will be used to protect soldiers from gas attacks. Experts now are at work designing an apparatus that promises to be superior to any now in use on the European battlefields.
 The experts of the bureau, Dr. Yan- dell Henderson, professor of physi- ology in the Yale Medical school, and J. w. Paul, in charge of the rescue work of the Bureau of Mines, make the statement that the wearing of the present types of oxygen-rescue apparatus involves grave danger, ow- ing to the fact that the makers have as yet failed to meet satisfactorily certain mechanical and physiological apparatus and suggest ways in which these may be eliminated.
 Of Great vaIue.e
 ' While this report is primarily of interest to the mining industry and is meant as a measure for the improve ment in the oxygen apparatus used in saving life at mine disasters" said Van H. Manning, director of the bu- reau, 'it comes at such time as to be of great value to the army and navy in their need of apparatus to protect the lives of their men in war fare
 ''In the apparatus now being used We have found number of grave de- fleets. As an instance of one of these serious defects, the manufacturers of such apparatus have directed that the oxygen supply should be set at a rate sufficient for only moderate exertion upon the part of the wearer. Because of this, rescue crews have been trained to walk slowly and to stop and rest at frequent intervals. Moving slowly might mean to be crushed and viz orous attempt to escape would result in collapse or even asphyxiation be- cause of an insufficient supply of oxy- gen.
 For Work in Trenches.
 "As the most effective means of put ting into concrete form and of test ing the feasibility of the recommenda- tions of this report, the bureau has attempted to develop an apparatus along the physiological lines for which it calls. For some time w. F. Gibbs. an experienced mechanical engineer, has been at work for the bureau on this problem. MT. Gibbs. aided by the advice and cooperation of the authors of this report, has produced an appa- ratus which, in experimental tests, has shown itself superior to the old types. but which still has to be sub jected to further tests in service. In addition. MT Gibbs services have been rendered to the military forces for the development of an apparatus that will be of value in the trenches"

leon passed away on the Island of st. Helena.
She made her first trip away from home
about fifty years ago, travelling from
New Brunswick to California.
Mother King was one of the first persons
healed through the ministry of DR.. Dowie,
few weeks after his arrival in San Fran
cisco from Australia in 1888. At that time,
she was slowly dying of malignant cancer,
which had eaten two holes through her
tongue and which was making her life
torture. Four well-known physicians had
attended her case and all had pronounced it
an active cancer. The day before her heal
ing, she went on her knees in the privacy
of her home and asked God that, if He wanted
her to die with the cancer, to take her home
as she did not want to live any longer in
such terrible torment. After praying, she
felt convicted in her heart that she must
throw away everything that was hindering
a life of faith. She took her medicine and
threw it away and promised God she would
never touch it again. When DR.. Dowie looked
into her throat, it was swollen and spotted
with cancer. He then placed his finger on
the cancer and prayed for her healing. She
went home and has never suffered from the
cancer from that day to this, having re-
ceived a perfect healing Her healing has
now stood the test for over twenty nine
years. Her testimony reappears, this week.
in the LEAVES OF HEALING, being the eighth
time that it has gone around the world.
Four and one-half years ago, Mother
King came to Zion City to make this her
home.
She is active and in the best of health Her
eyesight and hearing are as perfect as that
of young girl. She still retains the same
habits of industry, which have characterized
her entire life. She is famed for her skill
at needle work, and at SO years of age can
do the finest sewing and knitting without the
aid of glasses. Since coming to Zion City,
she has made twelve patchwork quilts, hav-
ing total value of $3.50.
Practically every Lords Day finds Mother
King, attired in her officers robe of spotless
white, occupying her place in Shiloh Taber-
nacle.

MUNICIPAL OFFICERS ATTEND IN
FORMAL SUPPER AT ZION HOME

The elective and appointive municipal off
GERS of the City of Zion, with their wives,
partook of an informal supper, on last Mon
day evening in the dining room of Zion Home.
The General Overseer and Mrs. Voliva, Apos-
tie Royal and Apostle Carey were present.
The supper began at 7:3O, and was fol-
lowed with an address by Mayor w. H. Glen
dinen, who reviewed lions past battles and
victories and recited many interesting mat
tiers connected with the formation of the
Theocratic Party. He also read the plat
form adopted at the first meeting, held in
1902, when the City was Incorporated.
The Mayor was followed by the General
Overseer, who made a review of Zion as
seen at the present time, and then painted
picture of what it should be in the future.
Deacon Forby, the City Attorney, gave a
lengthy address on various forms of munich
pal government as applied to lions ideals.
The Mayor called upon each municipal Off
Ger present to speak, and all in turn re-
sponded in few words fitting to the occa-
sion.
Tie purpose of the meeting was to gain a
clearer conception of the aims and objects
of Zion City, and Of the work which should be
done in developing the Zion principles and
ideals.

The passage of measures to prevent
strikes, pending compulsory investigation of
railroad wage disputes and to authorize the
government to operate the roads as mill
tary necessity, is urgently desired by him.
A number of other important measures
are included in this program.
The railroad bills have been strenuously
opposed by union labor and their passage is
regarded as extremely doubtful at this ses-
sion of Congress.
Involved in the discussion of the bills is
the prospect Of another strike crisis, if the
Supreme Court of the United States holds the
Adamson law unconstitutional.
Anti-strike legislation to meet such an
emergency is therefore regarded by the
President as imperative.
The Chicago Evenjsg Post, which has
often criticised the Presidents policies, says ::
''Practically half the session of the dying
Congress is over, and as yet it has done moth
ing.
washington talks Of the possibility of an
extra session in order to give effect to the
Presidents program, but the body that
rushed through the Adamson eight-hour law
in forty-eight hours ought to be able to take
care of the Presidents program in eight
weeks.
can extra session means heavy expense to
the country. If it should be necessary, the
necessity will be occasioned by Incidence and
procrastination. 3 * =
'"The President would be justified in laying
the whip over the shoulders of the congress

REPORTS INDICATE THAT GERMANY
IS PREPARING FOR SUBMARINE
WARFARE

The London Times, of January 10, printed
an article purporting to be dispatch from
Cologne, uncensored, in which the CORES
pondent quoted the head of one of the larg-
est manufacturing concerns in Europe as
saying, that the point of view of the Ger
man government is that the war is settling
down to a starvation match between Ger
many and her enemies, and that the sub
marines may place Germany in position to
dictate terms.
This man is quoted as saying, that more
than 1000 submarines are now in course of
construction; moreover that 300 are now in
use and fewer than 100 have been lost from
all causes. Submarine crews are being
trained in twelve weeks, it is said This
statement may be an exaggeration, but in all
probability, it contains a certain amount of
truth.
A wireless dispatch from Berlin to the
Chicago Tribune, of January 10, announced
that the value of allied ships and cargoes
sunk by German mines and under-sea boats,
during the war and up to the present time,
amounts to 3,000,000,00O marks. This does
not take into account the value of the neutral
ships sunk
The question is asked; "Since Germany
cannot be conquered, how shall the end of
the war be attained without the use of her
best weapon-the submarine The state
ment is made, "It is not only the sole means
to end the war quickly, but it is also the only
means to free the neutral states from the op-
preston imposed upon hem by England. The
under-sea boat lies directly in the interest of
the neutral states" This latter statement,
of course, may be questioned.

PEOPLE OF GERMANY FACING TRY
ING CONDITIONS
NOT STARVING, HOWEVER

Following is an extract from letter re-
ceived, this week, by Deacon w. E. Schmal-
fuss, from his mother in Germany: The
letter was mailed from Bremen, on November
20, 1916, and is the first he has received from
her in seven months.
In these times, when the newspapers are
full of conflicting reports regarding food
conditions in Germany, it is of particular
interest to receive information first hand,
from that country.
The letter shows that while conditions
are trying in the empire, surrounded today
by the ''iron ring" the people of Germany
are not starving.
Mrs. Schmalfuss says:
"Life holds now for us many trying and
perplexing problems; every bit of food is
being distributed, that it may suffice, but we
have so far had an abundance to eat and one
may we'll say today, that in days before the
war we have lived in comparative luxury,
and in many regards we had become too
self-satisfied. In times like these, the 'Haus-
frau can prove her worth-having but little
to cook with and few varieties at best. She
has to use all her ingenuity to devise some
thing new that will please her boarders
And, after all, things do taste mighty fine,
although there is less meat to do with and
still less butter. But why complain about
that-there is plenty of good jelly and mar
malade! So we simply live according to our
'rations' and we are well satisfied. 1t is
true enough that there are those who are
never satisfied, but such foolish folks act
just as foolish when there is plenty to do
with. Sensible people say: There is plenty
to get along on, and, if there should be the
one thing or the other that we cannot get,
all well and good, then we will not have to

Mrs. Deliah King, better known as
Mother King" is now within one year of
the century mark, having passed her goth
milestone in life on Tuesday, January %.
A supper was given at Zion Home, in her
honor, on the evening Of her birthday, at
which the General Overseer and Mrs. Voliva,
all the apostles and their wives, Elder Tin
dali and wife, and a number of her intimate
friends were present.
Mother King was born on January %,
1918, at st. John, New Brunswick. Her
early life was spent on a small island, where
she had very little opportunity for securing
an education in those pioneer days. Most of
her time was occupied working on the farm
and spinning and weaving linen and wool,
which was converted into cloth for the fam
lily use
She gave her heart to God when ten years
of age. She raised family of nine children,
five of whom are living at the present time
One of her daughters, now residing at Burl-
ingame, California, is in her eighty first year.
Most of the important events in American
history have transpired during her lifetime
At the outbreak of the Mexican War she had
been married a number of years. She has
seen the telegraph, the telephone, electric
lights, wireless telegraphy and many other
marvellous inventions come into use. During
her lifetime, the American continent has be-
come covered with perfect network of
railroads. Civilization in the New World has
extended from a small cluster of states in
the East, throughout the American continent
