as to shorten the delay behind the lines

If this be done the National Army units

six weeks, instead Of four months. The
difference may shorten the war enor-

The best way Of getting French instruc-
ton is in centralized schools like the one

Officer graduates of the different training
camps. Thus the work will be centralized,

The National Army, therefore, on reach

must necessarily receive behind the lines.
The period Of this final instruction can
thus be shortened from course Of four
months to one Of six weeks. The time
saved means getting into action before

FOOD SITUATION in
GERMANY SERIOUS
Couldn't Be Worse, Controller
for Prussia Asserts

London, March s.-Dr. George MI
chaelis. the Prussian food controller.
made in the Prussian Diet what the
Cologne Gazette calls a serious speech
on the food situation, says Reuter-
dispatch from Amsterdam.
DIR. Michaelis stated that the dis
tress was such that more. severe
state OF things, especially In tho large
Industrial centers, could hardly be Inn
agined. He Indicated the possibility
that al surplus stocks Of grain would
be exhausted. and said that very rad
ioal measures were needed to enable
the people to hold out until next year.

year Of the war;" the food controller
IL quoted as saying, ''that among all

This is human nature, but it Il highly
deplorable and may have most seri-

DR.. Michaelis concluded by urging
the utmost, severity to remedy the
shortcoming while there was not yet
time. Some Of the mills would have
to be closed and the municipalities
deprived Of their autonomous powers.
Rationing and requisit1oning must be
strictly applied with respect to eggs,

went on:

For there, in the palace of King
Akari, was Ben, an hOnOred guest.
He had been brought thither a pris-
Oner captured by a party Of savages
who were intent on sacrificing him as
an invader upon their domain.
Now Ben was shrewd. He had been
a haphazard wanderer; he knew a
good many circus tricks and was
considerably familiar with the char
acter of the ignorant interior African
natives.
Ben watched his captors, as, with
the king, they sat in conClave. He
studied their gestures and faces. He
know that they we're discussing his
doom. Suddenly he sprang up and
let out an Indian yell. Then, remOv-
ing both the upper and lower set of
false teeth, he began juggling them
in the air from hand to hand with a
rapidity and dexterity that fixed the
attention of the natives with marvel
ing wonder.

His artificial ear came off; he en-

he unhitched his artificial leg. By

a man taking himself to pieces ap-

his hook of a hand, caught one Of
the natives by his clothes and swung
him dizzyingly about his head.

Romance OF Mining
In Colorado

The region included in Gilpin.
Clear Creek and Boulder counties,
Colo, is exceeded in annual pro-
duction of percious metals by the
Cripple Creek district. but in
romantic interest and as a record
of human achievement in the face
of great difficulties, the story of
the discovery and early develop
ment of this region can hardly be
surpassed by any other chapter in
the history of "the winning of the
West" In this connection the
L. S. Geological Survey, Depart
ment OF the Interior, has recently
issued comprehensive report en-
titled Economic geology of Gilpin'
County and adjacent parts of Clear

Hill.
The discovery of golA in 1858
and the first lode discovery in the
Rocky Mountains between the
sites of Blackhawk and Central
City on May 6, 1859, marked the
beginning of great gold rush to
this region and led to the found
ing of Denver. Central City, the
county seat of Gilpin county, is
the Oldest lode mining camp in
Colorado. The establishment of
mining centers in this region led
to the enactment of district mining
laws. These laws were upheld by
the Territorial Legislature of
Co dorado in 1861 and were further
supported by an act of Congress
approved July 26, 1866. This act
contained the first statement of
the too prominent apex law"
which has resulted in endless mine
litigation.
The region is of unusual interest
in the number and variety of its
ore deposits and in the Develop
ment of mining and metallurgic
technique attendant on the work.
ing of these deposits. The ore
deposits are contained in highly
altered old sediments, granite and
granite gneiss, intruded by irreg-
ular masses and bikes of monzonite
of much later age. The deposits
are classified as veins, stockworks.
irregular bodies formed by mag.
matte segregation, and auriferous
gravels. The veins and lodes
comprise gold silver, uranium, and
tungsten ores; the stockworks
comprise only gold silver ores; the
bodies formed by agmat ic
segregation comprise iron and
copper ores. The gold-silver ores
are the main economic resource
of the region, but Boulder county
is noteworthy as the most pro.
ductive center of tungsten in the
United States. The oxidized gold
silver ores were soft and free mill
ing but at depths of 80 to 100 feet
began to give way to sulphide ores,
the profitable treatment of which
contributed largely to the know
ledge of milling and metallurgic
methods.
The discussion of the downward
enrichment of silver ores is a
subject to which special attention
has been given in this Govern
ment report
