London Papers See Much
to Approve in Wilson Note

from the democrafies. free ana not
free throughout the world.
The Chronicle adds:
The resounding proclamation whlch
comes from the White House OF the
reality of right, the reality of wrong
and of the impossibility of reconciling
them or shading them into one another
by good natured words, night we'll be
issued from the Vatican, the ancient
repository of Christian verities. There
is a righteous anger in every Ameri-
can reply which is not without prece-
dent in the history of the Christian
church"
After citing President Wilson's in
dictment of Germanys rulers. the
Chronicle says:
This terrible judgment gains its
eloquence from no fine phrasing, but
solely from the fountains Of noble
wrath behind it, wrath which the head
Of Christian church might honorably
covet."
The reply is precisely such a docu-
ment as we knew we could expect
from the slong minded clear sighted
leader Of democracy. secure in the
knowledge that the great nation and
it's limitless resources are at his back
on the clear cut issue Of right and
wrong" says the Daily Telegraph
Nowhere in the note is there any echo
of the scphistries with which a few
perverted minds and feeble hearts
seek to commend a policy of COM
promise to the European allies. 1t
comes like an invisorating wind to
blow away the cobwehs which paci-
fsm and its dupes have been spinning
about the central things in the great
quarrel,
The Times describes President Wilson s
reply as the answer of a practical states
man to a peace dream of the Vatican and
maybe of other courts as well. ard sug-
gests that it possibly will discourage sim
liar proposals in the future While who'll
ly endorsing the substance of the reply,
the Times renews the exception it pre-
viously had taken to the Presidents dis
f. tnction between the German people and
the German rulers. 1t SAYS that the dis
tinction is sound theoretically, but that
up to the present it he's proved quite
negligible in practice.

GYPSUM MAKES BIG GAIN.
Production Of 1916 Exceeds Former
Records.

According to figures Just complied by
the United State Geological Survey.
Department Of the Interior PISS. ego
short tons Of crude gypsum were mined
in the United States in 1916. in com
parison with 2.44761l tons mined in
1915. This gain of more than 3ao.0"o
tons may he largely ascribed to the eff
fects Of the European war. which has
increased business in general thus
causing larger building operations and
greater demand for structural mater
ial. Gypsum wall plaster. partition tile,
and plaster board are playing an in
creasing part in modern building con-
struction, end the industry is enjoying
large orders.
The total value Of crude and calcined
gypsum marketed in 1915 was s7.a25493
as compared with $65?s893 in 1915
This is the first time that the value Of
the output has exceeded s700o.ono. IN
1916, as in former years. New York was
the largest producer Of raw gypsum,
Iowa ranked second. and Michigan
third. The output of these States was
as follows:

Although Iowa stood second IN gum

place in value Of finished product as ii
did in 1917, because OF a much larger
proportion Of the gypsum produced in
New York Is sold uncalcined to Port
land cement plants.
Among the notable increases in the
use Of gypsum in 1915 was that shown
by tho larger quantity sold for land
plaster, the sales being M,s19 tons as
compared with 6a.c56 tons in 1915. The
average price per ton for all calcined
rlasters jumped from sass in 1915 to
