PRESIDENT WILSON TO PUT The nation

Executive Order Directs lecrIitiEq Of Navy TO AUihOlze
Siralath Of 87UOu sIen

Washington. March 25-Presi-
dent Wilson took steps today to
place the nation on q war footing.
By executive order that the navy
be recruited without delay to the
full authorized war strength of
87,000 enlisted men. Taken in con-
nection with emergency naval con-
struction already ordered, this
means that the President has exer-
cised the full limit Of his legal pow
ers as commander-in-c to pre-
pare the navy for war.
For the army, the President dir
ected that two military departments
be created in the Atlantic coast re-
gion. The order means that the task
Of organizing whatever army Con-
gress may authorize will be divided

among six departmental command
ers instead Of four, in the interest
OF speed and efficiency in mobiliza-
ton.
The third step was to assume as
a national duty the tasl, Of protect
ing American industries from de-
mestic disorders in the event of hos
tilities. For this purpose eleven full
regiments, two separate battalions
and one separate company of ma
tional guard were called back into
the federal service to act as national
police in important districts. Sup
plementing these troops, regiment
of Pennsylvania guard and two
companies Of Georgia infantry, en-
route home from the border for
muster out, were ordered retained
in the federal service.

pounds to the square inch. The salt
is cut out in tunnel form, arched
columns being left to prevent a col
lapse. These tunnels are from 800
to 1000 feet long, 80 to 100 feet
wide and so to 100 feet high. The
blasting is done at night to prevent
accident and to allow the atmos-
phere to clear for the next days
work.
The salt is then loaded on narrow
gauge mule trains, which carry it to
the foot Of the shaft. There, it pass
es through a great 4O-horsepower
electric modern driven crusher. Al
ter being crushed the salt is fed by
gravitation into the cage and car
ried to the mill where it is fed auto
matically into screens and separated
into various Commercial grades,
ready for shipment.

FRENCH ARMY NOW ONLY
THREE MILES FROM ST.
QUENTIN.
Fall of Strongly Defended Town
Seems Only Matter of Few
Hours

The French forces and the Ger
mans again have been engaged in
heavy fighting on several sectors of
the front between the Somme and
the Aisne rivers and again the
French have made advances toward
the strongly defended town Of st.
Quentin. According to the French
war Office, the French troops have
pushed forward over a front Of
about two miles and a half south
and southwest of St. Quentin, the
new positions taking in the towns of
Chastres, three miles southwest, and
Essigny-LeGrand, four miles south
of St. Quentin. Gains also were
made south Of the Disc and north
of Scissors.
Berlin admits the retirement of
the Germans according to orders
before the British between Beau
metz and Roisel, northeast of Per-
onne, but says the Germans repuls-
ed French attacks northeast of
Scissors. For the most part, the
fighting on the British end of the
line has consisted Of reciprocal raid
ing and bombing attacks.
There has been considerable
fighting in the air. The Berlin war
Office records the loss of seventeen
airplanes by the French and British,
while London reports eight German
machines driven down out of con-
troll, but admits that four British
machines failed to return to their
base. Bombs have been dropped
from erman aircrafts on Calais
and Dunkirk.
While only small raiding opera
tions and artillery duels have been
reported from the Russian front, q
dispatch from Petrograd says there
is indisputable evidence that the
Germans are bringing up large
numbers of troops on the northern
part of the line for an effort to
break through toward Petrograd.
The spring thaws are holding the
Russo -Rumanians and Teutonic
allied troops in check in Rumania.
In Macedonia, near Monastir, much
artillery actively prevails. The US
ual artillery duels and small infan-
try actions continue in the Austro-
Italian theater.
Berlin reports that the raider
Moewe, which has returned to a
home port after operations in the
Atlantic, has on board 500 prison.

the Moewe. Whether any Of these
men are Americans has not been
stated.

most delightful trip to Avery Is
land where one of the largest salt
mines in the world is located, and
am taking this liberty to tell you
about our trip.
Mrs. Beck, Mrs. Deltry and myself
left New Orleans on Thursday
morning at 11:55 on the Illinois
Central. At Avopdale, 10 miles
above New Orleans, our train was
put on the Southern Pacific railway
barge "Mastodon," the largest Of its
class in the world, and towed across
the Mississippi river, a novel expert
ence to me. All along the route to
New Iberia we passed great stretch
es of swamp and live oak forests.
Also saw vast sugar plantations and
other very novel sights. For in
stance: We passed a small town
where all the buildings, including
the church, were painted in barn
red with black roofs and gray door
and window trimmings. Another
town, Garden City, had its buildings
white with red trimmings. 1t looked,
indeed like a spotless city.
We reached New iberia at 4:15
| p. M, and while there we stopped
at the home of Mrs. l. T. Rand, who
entertained us most royalty. Also
had the pleasure Of an auto trip
around the Bayou Teche, which
Longfellow has immoralized in his
"Evangeline."
/; New iberia is also the home OF
Joseph jefferson of Rip Van Win
kie fame. All around this section is
very beautiful.
Avery Island is about eleven
miles from New iberia, and is
reached by branch line train
which leaves in the morning at $3.50
returning in time to make connec-
tions with the limited at II a. M,
arriving at New Orleans at p. m.
The salt mine it $50 feet deep, and
the tunnels are dug in all directions
from 800 to 900 feet long. We were
most fortunate in choosing a day
when they were not in full working
blast, caused by the shortage OF
cars. However. there were several
men at work in the large tunnel
which Is sixty feet high.
The mine il solid rock. and the
first operation il the drilling Of
holes for the insertion Of the dy-
manic charges, this being accom-
plished by IL foot drills. Rock salt
has the resisting power Of 5000
