CATAsTRoPE AT HALIFAX

The disaster at Halifax, with the
consequent loss of life estimated at be-
tween 5000 and 1000, due to the explo-
sion of munitions on board the ammuni
ton ship Mont Blanc, in the harbor
last Thursday, is deplorable. To add
to the horror, two storms since have
swept the Nova Scotian capital. Mil.
lions of dollars worth of property have
been destroyed. The explosion resulted
from a collision between the Mont
Blanc, a French vessel, and q ship laden
with supplies for the Belgian relief
commission. The force of the explo-
sion was 50 great, that it was felt sew
enty-five miles distant. From perusal
O. the stories of death, destruction and
suffering which have poured over the
wires from Halifax during the current
week, one is led to ask: Could the
collision not have been prevented, and
this terrible calamity thus have been
prevented.

HOW GERMANY WILL LOOSE

The war in Europe is drawing to a
close, in the opinion of newspaper cor
respondents on the western front, says
Lieut.. Homer f. Youngs of Twin Falls,
and formerly a member of the faculty
at the University Of Idaho, in letters
from France. Lieutenant Youngs is
acting as censor in France.
The view held by wal, correspondents
regarding Germany's ultimate collapse
on all fronts, it is believed has not been
imbodied in press dispatches printed
in this country. Indeed the opinion is
worthy of most careful consideration.
Men who have had the opportunity,
practically from the beginning of the
war, to observe operations of both the
allied and Teutonic armies, have drawn
one conclusion which at the present time
stands far out from the rest Germany
has, by tactics peculiarly her own, been
able to preserve the morale and fight
ing courage of her armies. This she
has done in "A novel way, and BECAUSE
OF HER SUCCESS IN KEEPING HER
ARMIES COURAGEOUS, SHE HAS
BEEN ABLE TO MAKE THE STAND
AGAINST OVERWHELMING FOES
FOR WHICH SHE EVER IN HIS
TORY WILL BE NOTED.
dermany's hardest fought line is the
rance-Belgian front, where she has
met the combined, French, British and
Belgian forces in what perhaps have
been the fiercest battles in his
tory. Here the Germans have suffered
numerous defeats, Hundreds of thou
sands of their men have been slaughter
ed on the battle fronts of northern
France. Here legions of her remaining
men have lost courage, and have express
eu wishes that the war might end, so that
they could return to their homes and
nVe IN peace. But not SO with the
hohenzollen. The men, said the kaiser,
SIMPLY had become morose. "Put them
on another front, where they will meet
weak enemy, let them win slight
victory, and they will be jubilant and
eager for more war; was the order.
Immediately the men were shifted to
tue RUSSIAN or portion of the Italian
'front.' where they were successful in
uiihor battle with a much weaker foe.
'"e herman troops lost courage had
0eeh regained. They were ready for
another whirl on the French front,
ana there they were sent, to battle un-
u they again became weary of de-
feat.

Short Course for Miners
UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO OFFERS PRACTICAL INSTRUCTION TO
-

Every winter the School of Mines of
the University of Idaho throws open its
laboratories and class-rooms for the use
and instruction of the prospectors, the
miners, the millmen, and the smelter-
men of the Inland Empire. Business
men interested in various phases of the
mining industry also frequently ava
themselves of the opportunity thus af-
torded to gain more exact knowledge
OF ores, their occurrence and treatment.
This "miners short course as it is
termed, opens January and runs for
elgnt weeks. Entrance requirements
are simple. Seriousness of purpose and
ability to read and write intelligently
and to work ordinary problems in arith
metlc are the necessary qualifications
mere is 20 age limit,-white. haired old
prospectors and recent highsehool
graduates have taken the course side
by side.
The equipment of the university for
mining and metallurgieal work is ex.
cellent; the assay laboratory is the
most complete in the west, ana the mill.
ing and metallurgical laboratories are
unexcelled. The short course student
not only has the advantage of study
ing and using this equipment, but has
also the opportunity of observing at
close range the experimental work be-
ing carried on by the local staff of the
7. ). bureau of mines on treatment
methods for Idaho ores.
The tuition and the use of the lab.
oratories is free to all. A deposit
amounting to $25 is required to defray
the cost of coal burned. huxes and
chemicals used, and apparatus broken.
The unexpended balance is returned at
the end of the course. Other than this
the only expense is for room and board.
Instruction Is Practical.
Instruction is given by members of
the regular faculty of the School of
Mines and is entirely practical in char
acter, large portion of the work be-
ing done in the laboratory. For
example, in mineralogy the actual min
erals are studied, first in the type col.
lection with labeled specimens until the
appearance of the mineral is well
known; and then the short course stu.
dent tests his knowledge by identifying
unlabelled specimens. The same pro.
cedure Is followed in work with blow
pipe determination of minerals not read
lily identified by appearance.
In assaying, the short course student
first learns the method of preparing the
sample, of fluxing the ore, and of firing
the furnace. Weighing operations are
then studied and the entire process is
learned step by step until the student
can work by himself and check results
