PERSHiNG AND "SAMMiES" ARE
HEROES OF FRANCE.
First motion pictures show the wild
enthusiasm. Of French.

General Pershing is as much a
hero in France today as Joffre, and
the American soldiers, nicknamed
"Sammies" by the enthusiastic
French. are more beloved than the
English Tommy Atkins, almost more
than the French themselves.
All this is brought out clearly in
the first motion pictures of the
American army in France, which
show the frantically jubilant recep-
ton given to the American general
and the newly arrived soldiers in
France.
The Universal Film Manufacturing
Company has "scooped" the entire
United States releasing a thousand
foot picture of General Pershing's
arrival. and the arrival of his troops
in France for active service.
BY series Of fortuitous accidents
the Universal was able to release it
on Saturday, only a few hours after
1t was received. So high an estimate
is put on the news value of this
first picture of the epoch making ar
rival Of the invading United States
troops in european soil. that the first
special Animated Weekly ever re-
leased was put out consisting en-
tirely Of this subject-General Perish

great demand was evinced by the
aires in New York for this picture,
for which special paper was rapidly
gotten out, that number of prints
almost approximatirg record was
printed by the laboratories, and the
demand for new prints is still strong
Another unprecedented fact in con
nection with this picture is that the
arrival Of the negative In this coun-
try Is almost In coincidence with the
first cable dispatch announcing the
arrival Of our troops abroad. So strict
has been the censorship. and 80 gem
eral the respect Of the American
newspapermen for the desire Of the
government to shield future trans
ports from any danger, that nothing
at all had crept into the papers. On
Saturday a special Animated Weekly
on General Pefshfng's troops was re-
leased. only one day behind the ca
BILE.
Furthermore, the cable itself was
so meagre. and the newspaper ONCE
written description Of the arrival so
obvious and unilluminating, that one

sion OF the scene from looking at this

SCARCITY OF POTASH.
Natural German produc, Produced In
United States by Chemical
Processes.

Not until necessity forced American
consumers OF potash 20 look about
for replenishment OF the supplies
cut of by the cessation OF imports
from Germany were the many Ameri.
can sources known which have been
suggested exploited and developed
during the past two years The
scarcity in the United States OF this
most valuable and much sought-for
product OF chemical recovery has
stirred the chemical engineers OF the
country to examine not only those
natural deposits which have been de-
yeloped. but there have been many
sorts of factory refuse analysed and
examined. which before the war, were
only nuisances and waste.
Search has been made in the incin.
orators OF lumber mills. but the strong
draughts in the present type of incin.
orators leaves only about 10 OF potash
in the remaining ashes after the re-
covery. Efforts are In the making to
develop new exhausts, however, which
will permit larger by-product from
lumber dust, twigs and branches, and
barks and slabs.
The escaping dust and fumes from
cement mills, which have always been
a menace to the health of the sur.
rounding communities, have been under
examination and analysis, recently,
attention having been drawn to that
enormous waste, amounting to as
much as 10 tons or more per kiln per
diem. That escaping dust has been
caught in settling chambers of large
capacity, bag houses, water sprays,
and by electrical precipitation. Two
kinds of fuel are used in the produc-
ton Of cement in the kilns: coal and
oil. The returns Of potash in the re-
covery from ashes taken from the
oil-fired kilns is greater than that
taken from the ashes of coal-fired
kilns, the latter producing as much as
1870 less than the former.
Pollution of streams by the oils
and fats in the waste from wool
washing will probably cease entirely
ere long, as enormous separators,
washers, and precipitators have been
constructed in many mills, where the
return of recovered potash and other
by-products has warranted the cree
ton of the buildings and machinery.
Potash Is used in many ways, such
as in medicine, photography, painting
dyeing, laundry work, soap manufac- i
ture, refrigeration, preservatives, cleo
trotechnics. fireworks, explosives,
matches, paper glass, aniline colors,
metallurgy, and particularly In fer
tilization. Such wide range of uses
makes it appear that American chemi
cal engineers have great future In
that line If in no other. Up to the
time of the war, the Stassfurt potash
works in Germany have had monop-
oily of the product. At the ensuing
convention of the American Chemical
Society in Boston, in September, there !
will be many reports and discussions
bearing upon the development of this
great branch of the industry.

AMERICAN MADE DYES.
Great Strides in Dye-making in
United States and France.

Since the beginning of the present
war nearly $2OO,0O00O0 has been
invested in the organization OF dye
making companies, and enormous
manufactures have been erected in
this country. France also is develop
ing her water-powers so that they will
be ready for use in many chemical
industries, just as soon as the war
ceases. This country will be so we'll
equipped that it will be able to retain
greater portion of its trade in dyes
and dye-stuffs, colors, tints and
shades In 1913 we we're consuming
about 10000 tons of dyes and dye
stuffs, out Of which only 5000 tons
were made in this country. That shows
the opportunity which the American
chemical industries have had placed
before them.
The solution of the situation pre-
cipitated by the stoppage of imports
into this country, now seems to be
well in hand and II is believed by the
great chemical interests which have
sprung into being since the beginning
of the war, that the supremacy In
chemical products SO long held by
Germany will be finally wrested from
her by the American chemists and
chemical engineers. Processes which
have been discovered and formulated
recently assure our American experts
and manufacturers that many products
which have come from natural sources
In Germany can now be made by
electrolytical and chemical processes,
and that the recovery of many prod
ucts. heretofore considered as waste,
will keep prices within the range of
successful competition for American
goods.
Dyes which have never before been
made In this country are now common
products. although the dye makers
have long way yet to go in order to
meet the enormous variety OF colors,
shades and tints which have come
out OF Germany to the number Of over
10000. Less than 500 such colors,
shades and tints are now made here.

GETTING TOGETHER FOR THE
COMMON GOOD

CANADA just missed a political crisis
~ over the conscription issue. But real
patriots in Canada, as in the United
States, came to the conclusion that the
thing to do is first to win the war and
fight home battles afterward. So the
parties got together and formed a Goals
ton Cabinet. This means that the entire
resources of the Dominion will continue
to be dedicated to the one great object
in view.
There is not a great deal of difference
in principle between getting together
nationally for the common good and
getting together locally for the common
good. If democracy throughout the
world is threatened we unite to repeal the
aggressor. If good government at home
is threatened we should unite to drive
back the aggressor. The Town Meeting
party simply represents a union of good
citizens, without regard to their partisan
Affiliations, to drive the prosttutors of
Government out of the high offices which
they occupy.
