HEARTENING NEWS.

Heartening indeed was the news
of the Russian offensive published in
The Forum last evening.
Gen. Brussiloff struck along an 49,
mile front and captured $500 pris-
oners, while his artillery is prepar-
ing the way for another attack to
the north.
Brussiloff's drive of a year ago was
the most promising offensive the AL
lies have undertaken since TIE war
began. In territory won and prison
ers captured, it was the worst blow
that has yet been struck at the Cen
trail empires. If the present offensive
is on such q scale, 1t may permit the
French and English to drive the Ger
mans back to their own borders be-
fore snow flies.
1t is possible that the Russian re-
ports are exaggerated, but the mere
fact that the Russian army has re-
sumed the offensive is the best news
from the eastern front since the
revolution.

The report that the German
Reichbank's gold holdings have been
reduced by $4,000, 900, the gold being
shipped abroad, is significant of the
serious financial plight OF the Kais-
er's empire. The German money had
become so deprecated in value that
it was necessary to let loose some
gold to neutral countries to make
imports possible.

Just one hundred forty-one
years ago tomorrow, the fore.
going document with it's pre-.
amble, signed by fifty-six colon
lists, was read in congress.
Today a new declaration of
independence for the world is
being written on the battlefelds
of Europe, and American SOL
diers and sailors are offering
their lives to enforce its recogni-
ton.
This declaration might read:
eve, the nations of the world
that believe in the right of in
dependent and free peoples to
establish and maintain govern
ment of themselves, by them
selves and for themselves as OPP
posed to government by an auto
cratic ruler claiming Divine
Right, and appealing to the Su-
preme Judge of the World for
the rectitude of our intentions,
solemnly publish and declare:
"That we insist on the right
of all peoples of the earth to
choose for themselves the gov
eminent to which they shall owe
allegiance.
THAT no nation shall have
the right to make war upon its
neighbors without first submit
ting its grievance to the repre-.
sentatives of the other nations
of the world.
"That the sea and the air
shall be open highways of COM
merce, and that all nations shall
have equal rights to establish
trade connections where they
will.
"That right and not might
shall be the guiding motive of
the world.
That treaties between ma.
tons must be considered as
binding, and not scraps of paper
to be disregarded when the in
terest of either party to them
seems endangered.
THAT the nations of the
world that have violated the
rights of their neighbors shall
be forced to make restitution so
far as it is possible for the coun-
try that has been captured and
devastated, for the lives that
have been brutality taken, for
the atrocities that have been
committed in violation of all in
ternational rights.
"That these nations must be
stripped of their power to re-
peat such crimes, to the end that
our citizens will be safe upon
the high seas, that our countries
may be safe from secret intrigues
and plots, that we may throw off
the burden of miiitarism that
is expressing the world.
"To this task we pledge our
lives, our fortunes, our honor,
everything that we have and
are, without reservation or COM
promise.
eve pledge the forgetfulness
of internal discussions, the subs
ordination of all selfish aims
that will interfere with the con-
duct of the war, until our first
great task is accomplished.
And we pledge ourselves,
when the war is ended, to con-
secrate ourselves with the same
enthusiasm and the same high
spirit to the broadening of the
principles Of democracy, to the
lettering Of living conditions
for the men and women of the
world and the inauguration Of
an era when the spirit of real
Christian brotherhood shall tri-
umph over selfshness and
greed. =

Great Deposits of Manganese
Being Opened in Clark County

That gold is where you find 1t"
is an old saying which more often
than otherwise has proved true in
the history of mining and, by the
same token, other minerals, particu-
larly those of a s~emi-precious ma
ture, for which there has been a
heavy demand due to the world war,
seem likewise to lie where you find
them, and that generally in the least
expected localities.
Ten years ago a Nevada prospector
came Upon a ledge or deposit OF
most queer looking rock OF lime
stone some Is miles east of Las We
gas. At the time he was looking for
other metals and, aside from MOTTO
ing the peculiar formation, nothing
save the memory of the deposit re-
NAMED in his mind, even the exact
location being forgotten soon after.
The years slipped by. Several
great mining camps flared up in the
west, flickered a year or SO and
died. Fortunes were made and lost
over night. The west saw the rise
and fall of a half dozen gold and sill
yer camps. A platinum mine was
discovered in the southern part of
Nevada. Like gold, it, too, was
where they found 1.-THE least ex-
pected of all the discoveries.
Then came the world war with it's
heavy demand for all metals, many
of which were formerly imported
from foreign countries. The steel
mills went to work upon the great
orders placed for their products.
Rails, locomotives, ships and NUM-
lions of war must be turned out on
a ~unheard-of scale. They must
have the steel and iron. Prices Of
fered for the various metals scared,
and among others for when there
was an increasing demand was man
ganese.
Old Nevada prospectors began
talking manganese. The var ed list
of Nevada metals should include it
also. Was there any of it here In
what formation did it occur. Many
such questions were heard where
mining was the subject Of
ton.
rhen one evening not long ago,
two months or such a matter, two
miH.Lg men were talking Of his
metal, so much in demand for The
steel in Uncle Sans war prepare
tions. Their conversation was earn
est. They described the n in
