President Working
10 Get Responsibility
Fixed On One Person

Washington, Dec. 26.-President Will
son is moving further to coordinate the
war government. Steps already have
been taken to eliminate government
red tape.
Secretary Bakers creation of "war
council" is expected to supplant much
work now done by different divisions Of
the national defense council.
Establishment of a munitions chief
to supervise, purchase and distribute
guns, munitions, food and clothing
for the army will probably absorb the
work now done by the munitions board,
placing over it executive authority now
lacking, officials say.
Colonel House, chairman of the Amer.
lean commission to the recent allied
conference in France is here comforting
with the president today. 1t is under
stood his visit is connected with gov
ernment plans to simplify its working
organization further after patterns
learned from experience by England and
France.
Congress will doubtlessly demand a
read diustment in the war department, but
Secretary Baker is expected to accom-
plish much of this even before the mil
itary probe committee reports.

having the particular trees needed at
this time by the government intelligent
ly selected and marked by its represen-
tatives and that care be exercised in
handling the tops and limbs and offal
consequent to the operation of splitting,
that the other timber on the tract will
not be in danger of fire"
That other big timber concerns are
responding to the rived spruce program
of the signal corps is shown by letters
in which they pledge their support in
every possible way.
Assurance of cooperation and suggest
ions as to the most favorable methods
for obtaining rived spruce were received
from the Weyerhauser Timber company
of Tacoma.
Good Man Selected.
Addressed to Colonel Disque the let
ter said, in part:
"We have selected man to look
after this work for us, who is quite ia
miliar with forest work and fire pro-
lection.
F'The man selected to look after this
work is well acquainted with all of the
spruce regions of Pacific and Grays
Harbor counties, and ! think we can
be of a vast amount of assistance to
your propaganda by picking out locali-
ties where men can work and get this
class of material, and of course, aside
from this means of getting stock, we
are perfectly willing at the present
time, to sell spruce stumpage to loggers
and millmen wherever they can get hold
of it, and at the prices that have been
recommended by the government.

The Russian consul here will make
no statement as to what action ne
will take in the mystery ship until
he has heard from a telegram which
he sent the Russian ambassador at
Washington. Officers of the ship say
they will make an effort to reach the
British consul today in an effort to

LABOR EXPECTED
DEMANDS, LEADING
SUBJECT. in LONDON
viii Consent to Draft It Is
Believed But viii Demand
Concessions
By Lowell Mellett

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
London, Dec. 26.-Labor s expected
demands from the government when
leaders meet Premier Lloyd George,
Minister of National Service A. G. Ged-
des, and others ON Friday, was the big.
gest question before Britain today.
The government has intimated it will
ask further concessions from British
unionists, permitting heavy new drafts
from its members to supply man power
to the army. The laborites have intimat-
ed they will accede to such a request,
but it was not anticipated today they
would abandon their safeguards against
drafting without counter-bargain.
Strong sentiment was noted that the
opportunity would be utilized to obtain
the government IS adherence to the prin-
cipai points in labor s announced war
aims-including not-only the idea of a
league of nations and no economic war
after r-the-war, but frank and complete
renunciation of any support by Great
Britain of imperialistic aims. Labor sus-
poets certain of the allies entertain
these imperialistic aims.
There was growing belief today that
labor might urge also H, G. Wells sug-
gestion that unionism demand Sid Ed
ward Carson's expulsion from the min.
istry as one who had gone over under
the pressure of British toryism. COnsid-
erable sentiment was developed against
the member of the war cabinet.
Home rule leaders, however, were
disposed to insist only on domestic con-
cessions from the -partic-
ularly as to food supplying. Many union
lists are urging that now is the time to
extend the cooperative societies system
over the whole country, equalizing dis
tributions, ending profiteering and pre-
venting waste. The recent unprecedent-
ed growth of queues of people waiting
in line for supplies was regarded as
insuring success of this demand.

A Platinum Fake"
Exposed In Oregon

The present shortage of platinum and
the consequent greatly increased prices
of the metal bid fair to result in con-
siderable increase in the domestic pro-
duction of platinum during the coming
year. At the same time, while legitimate
miners are increasing their production
and to some extent relieving the cOun-
try IS shortage, other persons are using
the interest aroused by the present ma
.tion-wide search for the metal to make
extravagant claims for utterly worthless
deposits, and some honest prospectors
are led by false assays, made by ineffi-
cient or venal assayers, to believe mis-
takenly that they have valuable plat
mum deposits. Reports of platinum in
some mythical continuation volatile
platinum" or "colloidal platinum =
should be regarded as sufficient evil
dence of the incompetence or dishonesty
Of the assayer.
During the season of 1917 the geolo-
gists of the United States Geological
Survey, Department of the Interior,
spent must time in visiting platinum de-
posits that proved to be worthless. A
notable example is seen in the supposed
platiniferous sands of the Deschutes
river, near Terrebone, Oregon, which
were examined by Mr.. H. G. Ferguson
in October, 1917. Claims have been stalk
ed for several miles along Deschutes and
Crooked rivers, and as certain VOLCANIC
sands along these rivers had been said
to contain large percentages of gold and
rare metals, particularly metals of the
platinum group, Mr.. Ferguson visited
the localities at which the sands were
obtained and took samples for test and
analysis.
The material collected, which is expos
ed in the canyon of the Deschutes river
north of Low Bridge in section 10, i.
IA s.. r. IL E., consists of loosely ce-
mented dark volcanic sand and conglom-
crate interbedded with basalt and vol
canic tuff. The black basaltic sand IS
supposed to have the richest content OF
gold and platinum, but neither IN pan
ming the material in the field nor in the
chemical tests made by the Geological
Survey could any trace Of platinum or
other metals of the platinum group be
found. Neither was any gold found IN
the concentrates, and it is concluded
that material of this type is very u!n-
likely to contain workable amounts of
gold.
In conclusion, the Geological Survey
desires to warm prospects and investors
against accepting at their face value
any statements in regard to platinum
bearing ores and sands that do not show
native platinum when panned. Such ma
terial should always be sent to assay
ers whose reputation is above reproach.
