A mothers meeting was held at
the K. R. Hall Tuesday evening,
April oath, under the auspices of
the Ladies of Kaleva, Wellamon
Tupa No. 4. A program was Civ
en- consisting of speeches. readings,
singing and music, after which re-
freshments were served. The re-
mainder of the evening was pleas
antly spent in social way during
which an exhibition of Finnish
Folk dances was given by the
younger folk. After singing the
Finnish National Hymn and
America" the meeting adjourned
everyone we'll pleased with the
evening. 1t has been proposed
that other meetings of like nature
be held in the future, at which
questions of importance to women
will be discussed, such as child
welfare, civic welfare, etc. The
attendance at this meeting was
very good and the members of the
lodge are more than pleased with
the interest shown in this work.

G. L. Hedeen who was here to
attend the patriotic meeting two
weeks ago and secured several
enlistments for the navy of which
he is recruiting officer gave Ely
some advertising that counts.
Ely is certainly the most patriotic
town that I ever visited" said Mr..
Hedeen upon his return to Biwabik.
Flags are displayed from a big
majority of the residences, and
from practically every place of
business. School boys wear an
eublem or have the coiors tied
about their arm, and wherever you
go the sentiment is unanimously in
favor of backing the national gov
ernment to the limit in securing
men for both the army and the
navy. At Ely they told me Tower
is just as enthusiastic, and if that
is so these towns are certainly
about as patriotic as it is possible
to be-"

U. S. STEEL
Extra Dividend Declared on
Steel Stocks.

All previous high records in the
history of the United States Steel
corporation, both as to earnings
and dividends were surpassed, III
the first quarterly report for the
current year issued Tuesday.
Earnings were $113,121,O1S.
more than the corporation has
earned in a full year, in some in
stances, and an extra dividend of
3 per cent was declared on the
common stock, in addition to the
regular quarterly dividend of II
per cent on that issue and IA on
the preferred. The disbursement
on the common amounts to more
than $21 100000.
The 8 per cent extra is an in
crease of N per cent over the
extra dividend declared in the
previous quarter and an increase of
2 per cent over those of the second
and third quarter of last year
1t makes up, with about 1 per cent
to spare, for the deferred dividends
on the common stock during the
period between the fourth quarter
of 1914 and the same quarter of
1915, when poor earnings caused a
complete suspension of disburse-
ments on the common stock.
Three months earnings are an
increase of S7,152,671 over the
final quarter of last year and net
incomes of $1O3, 5000 represents
a gain of 81 ,OO8, 5S4. The surplus
tor the quarter was $69,S36,9S /,
which is only a slight increase
because of the extra sum required
to pay the enlarged common divi-
dend.

TO PAY SOLDIERS
Oliver Mining Company to Pay
Men EnIlstlng for the War.

In it's writeup of the patriotic
meeting held here a week ago,
the Miner omitted mention Of one
Of the most important events OF
the evening. 1t was the an
nouncement Of Superintendent
Charles Trezona made at the meet
ing that all those employees Of the
Oliver Mining Company enlisting
in the service, either on sea or
land, would be continued on the
pay roll Of the corporation during
the time of service. This an
nouncement was greeted with en-
thusiasm and was the occasion OF
laudatory remarks by Mayor
Brozich and others. How this an
nouncement was overlooked In
the Miner last week is one Of
those unaccountable happenings
that ruffle the plumage Of the or
binary newspaper mortal.
The plan Of continuing national
guardsmen on the payroll of the
company was adopted by the
Steel corporation mining end
when the guard was ordered to
the border last year. Employees
of the Oliver company at that
time received their salaries
monthly. This voluntary pay
ment amounted to many thou
sands Of dollars no statement OF
the exact figures having been
made by any Of the officials. In
all probability the amounts to be
paid the soldiers and sailors will
be the difference between the pay
the government makes and the
pay earned by the enlisted man
at the time he enlisted. This is
done to help out those dependent
on the enlisted man and will have
the effect of making the govern
ment service more attractive es,
pecially when it is known that
loved ones are provided for.

HE AL TIL NOTES
CITY OF ELY.

Medical Supervision of Schools
means watching over the children
by the medically trained to find
where they are weak in their bodies
and to prevent outbreaks of in
fictitious diseases. just as the teacher
watches over them to find out
where the children are weak in
their studies and to prevent dis
order.
It is true that every teacher
should watch the children for
evident bodily defects, poor sights
deafness, and sickness and should
report these to the proper author
tiles. But teachers are not trained
medical men and women and can
not be expected to do more than
this. 1t is at this point that the
nurse and physician should step in.
Such supervision has two main
purposes: First, to discover and
prevent the spread of infectious
diseases and, second, to discover
and provide for the correction of
physical defects. But in carrying
out this supervision it helps also
in the discovery of mental pecul-
iarities of the children, the dis
covery of unsanitary conditions in
the school, and in the best seating,
lighting and other similar matters,
and in the promotion of cleanli-
ness, order and decency. This
method prevents epidemics, pro-
notes general health. and makes
safe, sanitary school.
1t means therefore that to carry
out Medical Supervision in its
fullest usefulness, teachers, nurses,
and doctors must cooperate and
work together in harmonius and
efficient manner to the end that
interests of health in the schools be
best served.
The Superintendent and School
Board of our schools here are in
terested in this work. Recently
they provided for free examination
of the school childIen who had de-
fective eyesight by an eye special
list. About 90 children were exam
ined. These had been previously
selected from the student body by
the good work of the school nurse.
The parents of this district
should thoroughly appreciate this
work. 1t was of great value to
the children, and saved the parents
expense, time and trouble.

LONDON, Aug. 23.-What purports
TO be a verbatim report of the speech
of the imperial German Chancellor. DR..
received by the British Ad-
per Wireless Press, and through
Reuters Hague correspondent, in part
follows:
"As regards our enemies, their num-
Der has increased since the adjourn
ment of the Reichstag by three, name
", Siam, Liberia and China. These
countries have no convincing reason for
enmity against us. They acted solely
under pressure Of the Entente and the
United States, the latter having great
influence over Liberia and China. We
have made it clear to these countries
that we shall bring them TO account for
the damage done under international
law to German interests"
After referring to the solidity OF
Germany and her allies, the Chancellor
read q telegram from Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg, declaring that the military
situation was more favorable LOT Gei-
many than ever. The Chancellor added:
$4,000 Tons Sunk in July
"Our success on land corresponds
with our success on the sea. In the
month of July, according to the latest
reports received, $1,000 tons OF snip
ping were sunk When we take into
consideration our results, on the one
hand, and the failures of our enemies,
on the other, it appears to be incom-
prchensiblc that our enemies show no
disposition to prepare the way for
consideration of terms of peace, not
TO mention peace which includes re-
nunciation.

further arrangements were made by
the enemy regarding their war aims,
some of the details Of which were al
ready made known TO the committee
of an earlier occasion. / proceed in
chronological order:
"On September 7, 1914, the enemy
coalition decided only TO conclude a
joint peace. On March 4, 1915, Russia
made the following peace demands, Of
which England approved by note on
March u and France by note Of the
same date. namely: Russia TO receive
Constantinople, with the European
shore of the straits, the southern part
of Thrace as far as the Enos-Midia line,
the islands in the Sea of Marmora, the
islands of Imbros and Tenedos, and on
the Asia Minor side the peninsula be-
tween the Black Sea, the Bosporus and
the Gulf Of Ismaila (Ismid?) as far as
the River Sakarieh in the east.
"This basis was laid down and the
negotiations continued their course in
1855. In the course of them Rus

land extending northward as far as

was TO be Mesopotamia, and the rest
Of Turkey in Asia was to be divided
into English and French spheres Of
interest. Palestine was to be inter
nationalized and the other districts
inhabited by the Turks and Arabs, in
Guiding Arabia proper and the holy
places of Islam, were TO be formed into
special federation Of states, under
british suzerainty.
Italy to Get Share
when Italy entered the war she de-
manded her share of the booty. Fresh
negotiations were opened, which in no
wise pointed at renunciations. | think
we shall have further details about
them, which will be published later.
with such farreaching enemy war
aims, it may be understood why Mr..
Balfour lately stated that he did not
consider it advisable TO make de-
tailed statement of the war policy OF
the government. Those are the bottom
facts as they appear to us at the pres
emit moment, when VIC visage the pos
sibility of concluding peace"
