Iron for the Future,

That iron is the very basis of our in.
dustrtal civilization will be admitted
by the thoughtful, and many of our
greatest supplies of iron ore are be-
ing rapidly depleted because of the in
creased per capita consumption of iron
the world over, an increase which is
destined to be greater in the future
when the races in Asia and Africa In
crease their consumption of iron.
These conditions Of increasing con-
sumption Of and decreasing reserves
have often in the past, particularly
about the beginning of this century,
says J. ID. Johnson in Metallurgical
and Chemical Engineering, been used
to create scare, on the ground that
our supplies of usable ore were being
so rapidly depleted that their exhaus-
ton would occur within two or three
generations. This is a preposterous
point of view, because as we lower
the percentage Of iron ore in the rock,
which we call "ore," the quantity of
such ore increases at rate out of all
proportion to the decrease in iron
content, and as we use leaner and
leaner ores technical improvements
will be made which will minimize any
tendency to increased cost of produc-
ton. The same thing has happened in
gold, silver, copper and other ores. and
today copper ores are being worked
with only 1.5 per cent of copper in
them.

Persistent unofficial and press reports
Of break with Austria met with de-
mails at the state department. 1t was
asserted that no definite step had been
taken In the Austrian situation. The
reports We're discredited by the an
nouncement that Joseph c. Grew, for
merly secretary of the embassy at Ber-
lin, had been ordered to Vienna to as
sist Ambassador Penfield. The state
department, however, said no signifi-
canoe attached TO the transfer of Grew
The department was apparently deep
ly interested in the Vienna situation.
The honors paid to the German kaiser
during his visit there and changes In
the Austrian military organization ap-
parently dictated by Germany were
looked upon as indicating an effort by
Germany to weld the two Teutonic al
lies closer together. Dispatches out
lining an interview given out by the
kaiser in Vienna lauding the subma-
rine campaign and asserting that IT
"No ptA AhAl-| Int 6ICAltol DlON SlN eli

looked upon as significant.
Arming American Ships.
The question Of arming American
merchant ships for the perilous pas
Hge Of the war zone remained in abey-
ance. The state department. after the
cabinet meeting said that no step In
this matter had been decided upon.
1t was understood, however, that the
navy department had submitted com
plete plans for arming ships with 500
reserve guns already allotted fer that
purpose.
The British announcement that Hall
lax, n. s., rather than Kfrkwall, Eng !
and, would be the port of search for !
III vessels was received with interest
lere. 1t was expected this would re-
ult in renewed neutral shipping activ-
ty and would to some extent relieve !
reight congestion on the Atlantic !
oast.

continued their grind toward !
military preparedness for any

ported movements of vessels of the At |
antic fleet, which when the censorship |
was clamped on naval orders was mob |
IGzed at Guantanamo, Cuba. Various |
unofficial dispatches have reported |

colleges, all graduates of AndoVer The
illogical Seminary Their journey to
Iowa was made as far as Buffalo by
railroad. then by the Great Lakes to
Chicago. from whence they came by
stage coach over the prairies OF Hi
nois to the Mississippi River. Their
western terminus WAS Denmark in Lee
county. Iowa, where on sunday, Nov.
5, lS43. seven of these young preachers
were ordained. They were all willing
TO allow Rev. Asa Turner TO select their
fields for them. but he refused to ac-
cept the responsibility. Instead he met
the young men. placed before them
map. explained in detail the needs of
the whole region. and then withdrew,
allowing them TO make their own choice.
The result was that they were scat

giving the best years of his life to the
