On Friday May 25, there was an
editorial conference of the technical
engineering and business papers in
Washington, which was addressed by
six members of the cabinet and by
numerous members of the advisory
commission of national defense, chiefs
of committees and heads of bureaus.
Mr.. Vanderlip, president of the nation
al City bank, presented the views of
financiers. Many subjects of import
ance were explained and discussed.
Our readers will be interested in the
list of the ideas that we got at this
conference.
Summarizing: 1t is necessary to
arouse the people of the United States
to the fact that this country has en-
tered war for democracy and lib
erty. We are fighting for the same
principles that we did at Lexington
and Bunker Hill. 1t took the leaders
of the nation more than two years to
awake to this. There is large part
of the people that does not know 1t
yet. Their eyes must be opened. We
have got to fight the war with every
ounce of our power. The war may
last from two to five years. We must
be prepared for long war.
The administration has not been in
active during the two months since
the declaration. On the contrary
much has been accomplished. The
German ships interned in our ports
were promptly seized and rapidly are
being repaired. Liberal financial ale
has been extended to Great Britain
France, Russia, Italy and Belgium
The British and French have been re-
lieved Of the naval patrol of the nortl
and south Atlantic. A flotilla of de-
stroyers has been dispatched to Brit
ish waters An. engineering commits
move freight westward from Vladi
wostok Nine regiments of engineer
have been ordered to France to he'll
repair the railways behind the lines
A division of regular infantry and ar
tillery is being prepared for early de
parture.

How Things Look At Washington
Engineering and Mining JournaD

French and British commissions asked
for our prompt assistance and we
were ready to give it. A large num-
Der of doctors and nurses have al
ready been dispatched abroad, and
more are being sent regularly.
Instead of there being a reason for
fault finding with the government for
not doing anything, we think it is
really entitled to praise for having
done so much.
We were told that when the new
army is modified, next September, the
arms and equipment will be ready.
The greatest problem of the NUM-
lions board is to build the 16 canton
ments, each to'accomodate about $4,000
men in the short time remaining. This
means the building of 16 large cities,
with dwellings,, warehouses, water
works, lighting systems and means for
disposal of sewage
Important steps have been taken
with regard to the distribution of coal
supplies, and in coordinating the rail-
way service f the country. Howard
Elliot said that in doing the latter the
American Railway association is
spending 100000 per annum. This Is
one of the disgraceful things in Wash
ington. Mr.. Hoover, as food admins
traitor, is personally paying the ex-
penses of his Office. So it Is with
all of the other new officers. Con-
gress has neglected to legalize them
or provide appropriations for them
Congress is the great, unwieldy ineffi-
cient body in the government
The several bureaus of the regular
departments are doing much gooc
work There are weak spots. Thus
the delay in placing contracts fo
copper and lead, which has been play
ing the mischief in. those markets
With regard to shipbuilding there ha
been some controversy between MI
Denman and General Cocktails Con
gress has been relieving itself of som
of it's accumulated venom against tn
president by attacking his plans 70

tial things. Such outbursts, such ex

GEOlOGiST IN WAR.
Special knowledge and How It May
Be Utilized to Advantage.


A timely brochure, entitled What a
Geologist Can DO in War" has been
prepared by Il. A. +. Penrose, Jr., of
Philadelphia, for the geological COM
mittee of the national research coun-
Gil, with the purpose of stating sue
entity the competency of the geolo-
gist in war service. A knowledge of
geology, Mr.. Penrose points out. can
be made use of in many ways in time
of war, not only to the army in camp,
but to the army on the march and in
battle. The subjects briefly touched
upon are Camps; trenches and tun-
nels; ground for artillery positions;
roads, maps, long -distanee observa-
tons; water supply, vibration effect,
and other qualities for usefulness"
under which head is emphasized the
biologists general adoption to living
conditions both in civilization and out,
His training has been to great ex-
tent in the wilds among the noun
tains, hills and plains; often without
/
course by the baZes on the trees or
from the stars, the moon or his COM
pass, and often surrounded by hostile
natives. He can fight, cook, withstand
bad weather and discomfort and still
keep on with. scientific work; he has
acquired the woodcraft of the trapper,
together with the education of the
scientist. Few other men possess this

Effect of Alcohol.

A physician says that continuous
drinking Of alcoholic beverages is a
common cause of the distension of
minute blood vessels, particularly
about the face and nose. These blood
vessels are influenced each time alco-
hol in any quantity is taken into the
system and finally the elasticity Of the
walls is destroyed and the veins be-
come permanently enlarged and ''red

MINERS LEAVE BUTTE.
Suspicion That They Are Leaving to
Escape Draft.


The departure of an unusually large
number of miners for mining districts
of other intermountain points and also
to mines in the southwest has been
called to the attention of the govern
ment Miners began to leave Wednes-
day and more went south yesterday
However, there are plenty of men in
Butte for the work in the mines and
there is no danger of shortage OF
labor for underground work, says the
Anaconda Standard.
Following the registration of man
between the ages of Il and 30 inclu-
sive the government can not compel
| him to remain in the town in which
he was enrolled. However, the in
tent of the law is such that no man
who is liable to military duty under
the draft should secrete himself so he
can not be reached when wanted. Such
action is regarded as evasion and in
some instances men who wanted to
+leave after registering have turned in
II their future address to the postoffice
or city and county officials. That some
men, however, are leaving Butte for
other mining camps where good min
ers can secure work at good wages, In
| the hope of not being found when the
names are drawn in August or Sep
tember, is indicated by the time OF
their departure. At the present time
miners, not muckers, are in demand IN
the west and such men as leave viii
not be out of employment long.
Although the government men IN
Butte have not announced any of the
details for locating men who register
ed here and left for other points, 1t
is known that this situation has been
considered With few exceptions, those
whose names are drawn will be located
and taken tos the camps with other
men who answer the conscription

World Using Up Its Waste.

Steel rail and old iron are not the
only things that have advanced mater
tally in price in the last year, say the
officers of the association. Accumula-
tons of waste matter all over the
world are lower than they have ever
been before. and the demand is greater
than ever. The Sunday newspaper,
reputed to be worth 5 cents unread, is
worth l cent as waste paper, even af-
ter the children have finished with the
colored supplement Old black stock
ings are now going at about l cent a
pair. In fact, there is nothing which
the public discards which has not
some value to the waste material deal
ers, with the possible exception of
corsets and worn out shoes.
The waste material business of the
United States in 1916 has amounted to
over one billion dollars, say the deal
ers. Rags are being shipped from the
most remote points, where the freight
rate alone is higher than the old value
of the rags before the great boom
came. The rag market is very strong
; today, and a pound of wooden rags is
worth 16 cents to any waste material
dealer Mixed rags are going at rec
ord prices, with thirds and blues" and
country mixed rags" leading the mar
ket. Waste paper of various sorts av-
erages 1 to 2 cents pound. Bagging

SHIP JUNK RAILROAD TO

MANDS PHENOMENAL
PRICES.

Three railroad presidents attended
ton Of Waste Material Dealers at the
Hotel Aston. One of them was Herman
Sonken, president of the Chicago, An
amosa & Northern railroad and the
Iowa Short Line; another was Theo-
dore Hoffler, president of the Buffalo
& Susquehanna Mr.. Sonken, who
admitted that he was the youngest
railroad president in the country, said
his experience as a railroad executive
was not limited to these two roads, fol
he had been president of half dozens
others since he started in the waste
material business. He pointed out
that to refer to him as a junkman was
very indicate, approaching vulgarity,
and not in the least in keeping with
executive dignity says the New York
Evening Post.
The price of oil rail material has ad-
vanced to such an extent that it is go
ing to be a very profitable thing, ac-
cordng to President Sonken, to tear
UP his SO miles of the Chicago, Ana
