FLEMING VISITS
.ENGELS copper

The rapid development and i'm
provement Of the Engels Copper pro-
perties proved a big surprise to John
L. Fleming of the James F. Idorgan
Co., Ltd, who has recently returned
from the mainland where he paid a
special visit to the Engels mine.
Il had expected to see a great de-
velopment of the property over what
it was on my last visit but / was not
prepared to see such tremendous de-
velopment as has taken place; on
every hand were to be seen evidences
of the work accomplished and every
where was that ceaseless activity of a
great undertaking in operation" de-
clared Mr.. Fleming.
The mill was not in operation when
he left but it was expected that it
would start about Christmas time;
there having been some delay in Sc
curing transformers for the tramway
Complimenting The manager of the
mine for his efficient work, Mr.. Flem
ing said:
"Mr. Paxton expects that by the
end OF January. 1918, the mill will
handle at least 800 tons of ore per
day and by the end of March at least
1900 tons a day. and by October at
least 1000 tons a day. which last fig
ure means a production of approx
mately 10000 tons of copper a day.
AS to dividends Mr.. Paxton confident
ly expects that the present dividend
will be double Just as soon as the mill
handles total of 1900 tons a day"

WARNS THE UNITED STATES
TO MARSHAL RESOURCES
Connecticut Jurist Says That Other
wise a German Invasion Within
a Year Is Probable.

HARTFORD, Conn. May 5.-"Unless
the United States marshals all her re-
sources, both military and industrial. and
does it Immediately, there is a great prob
ability that we shall see German troops
in this country within a year." said Judge
Luciea F. Burpee, chairman of the state
military emergency board, on his return
with Gov Holcomb yesterday from the
conferences of the National Council Of De-
Tense at Washington. This, Judge Burpee
said, was pretty well demonstrated at
the conferences.
Il had never believed this probable or
even possible" he continued, but the
facts presented by government officials
we're convincing and those from the Eng
lsh and French officials visiting this
country make it plain that the situation
in England and France is desperate. both
economically and in respect to military
matters Germany has strange hold
on England and if that cannot be loosened
both countries will be thrott!ed."
Gov. Holcomb said the situation was
very serious. He adds
Il hope this war will not come to the
United States. but you don't know. 1t
may. If we don't win we will have to
pay almost the entire cost of the European
war for all the other countries.

SAYS LOSS OF FEW SHIPS
CHECKED THE BRITISH
Col. Winston Churchill Discusses
British Admiralty's Failure to
Pursue Offensive Tactics.

BY tho Associated Press.
LONDON, May Col. Winston
Churchill, former first lord of the ad-
miralty joining in the newspaper CON
troversy in regard to the RESPONSE
bility for the present naval situation,
denies the charge that he did not favor
naval offensive action. He cites in
stances to the contrary and says:
THE first German submarine cam
paign against merchant shipping
which began in March, 1915, was en-
countered by measures and devices
mainly offensive in character. and was
SO completely queiled during the sue
ceeding months that it was precipi-
lately assumed that the danger was
passed Further, the admiralty board
which quit office in May. 1915, had pre-
pared a whole fleet of ships. largely
immune from torpedoes, whose sole
object was to play part in definite
scheme of offensive warfare"
Responsibility for the paralysis of
the naval offensive lies in no small
degree with those senseless outcries at
the loss of a few obsolete ships which
checked naval enterprise and quenched the
admiralty in it's initiative. The result
was that for almost two years not a
single aggressive act, apart from the
battle of Jutland. has been attempted.

PAINT FOR CONSERVING
VAL UES OF PROPERTY
Form Of Insurance" Considered
Outstanding Feature Of Cleanup
Campaign in Washington.

Paint insurance" for conservation
of property values is an outstanding
feature of the clean up-paint up cam
paign. The value of regular painting
as viewed by the investor is stated
by prominent banker as follows:
when the authoritative statement
Is made that IS per cent of the build
ings throughout the United States are
in need of paint, it is impossible to
realize the resulting loss through the
rapid deterioration of the metal and
wood work, to say nothing of loss in
value because of appearance. Yet this
loss can be avoided through paint in
surance. Payments are made regular
~ to guard against possible loss by
fire, while the Inevitable, certain loss
because of the lack of expenditure for
paint insurance is disregarded. Fire
insurance premiums are payable annu-
ally; paint insurance once in five years.
There are more than $4,000 buildings in
the District of Columbia very large
portion covered by fire insurance, yet
rs per cent is not covered by paint in
surance. Paint insurance has direct,
tangible returns to you, resulting in
increasing the value by appearance,
preventing rust and decay. increasing
the income producing possibilities of
the property and raising the value in
case of sale. The banker is justified
in making a loan larger and more read
lily if the property is painted, because
it shows paint insurance" to also pro-
tect the loan
rs it possible to compare the value
of building on which no paint has
been applied for period of. say, fif-
teen to twenty years, with similar
one which has been painted three or
four times in that period?
The cost of painting would be a
mere trifie in the comparative value of
the two properties. In much less than
fifteen years one would be a mass of
rusting metal and decaying woodwork,
while the other, having been insured,
would be well preserved and profitable
10 either rent or sell Therefore paint
is even more than insurance-it is a
dividend-paying investment"

the return of the members of Congress

making of new leases or renewal of old
leases-all of these conditions causing a
greater volume of trade than the local
tradesmen are able to handle satisfac-

Why should not patriotic Americans
adopt two non-wheat bread days and
two non-meat days? II most of the
people in the District ate cornbread

the bakers and butchers understood
that we weretrying to do our bit to-
ward saving the nations supply. they
would bake fewer loaves and arrange
for less meat supply on those days.
If President Wilson and Mr.. Armour
are adopting two meatless days as a
patriotic duty, there is surely no reason
why each one of us cannot follow suit
