TUNGSTEN IN MALAY.
Efforts Being Made to Stimulate the
Production in Orient.

Tungsten ores do not occur In the
Federated Malay States in defined de-
posts: by far the greater bulk Is
found in small quantities irregularly
intermixed with tin ore and valueless
matter, and consequently any large
increase in output is impossible. Every
effort has been made by the authori-
ties, however. to stimulate production.
the export duty having been suspend
ed and special terms granted to pros
pectors The total quantity of tung-
stem ores exported from the Federated
Malay States in 1915 amounted to POI
tons, as compared with 261 tons in
1914 and 225 tons in 1918. most of this
being ore containing less than S. per
cent of tungstic acid. In addition to
these exports. tungsten ores aggregat-
ing 4O7 tons were imported from 9TH
er countries in 1915 and re-exported
after treatment at local separating

HOW cocOANUTs TRAVEL.
Natures Method Of TranspIantina
Them on Distant Shores.

Cocoanuts generally grow at the
edge of seas or rivers, and many of
the. nuts as they become ripe fall in
to the water. The nuts are covered
with n thick husk, which has a wa
terproof covering, so taht they will
float. AS they float writes natural
list, the three eyes, which are all at
one end of the nut, are always on
top. Once in the water, nature goes
to work. From one of the eyes there
comes a shoot that sends forth broad
leaves that act as sails. The wind
catches these sails and watts the CO.
coanut on a Journey that many be
many miles long. As it sails the other
cwo eyes send out roots, which nj
first grow among the fbers of the
woody husk. In time the cocOanut Is
swept on another shore, perhaps on
another island. The roots imbed
themselves in the soft earth, the sail
becomes the trunk, and very shortly
a thrifty cocoanut tree Is growing
where none grew before.

THE OVERT ACT.
(New York SUM

NNeW 1Ork SUM
The object of Germany's ruthless
submarine war was to clear the seas
of shipping bound to and from hel
enemies coasts. So far as the United
States is concerned she has won a
victory so nearly complete that no.
body can mistake it's import.
| ship or two flying the American
flag have ventured from England for
this country; ship or two flying the
American flag have sailed from this
side for Europe. But most of the
ships flying the American flag, the
protection of the United States having
been withheld from them, are tied up
at their piers, afraid to venture on the
high seas. as effectually blockaded as
though German cruisers maintained q
rigid watch outside the harbors of
this country
We can not see that anything will
be gained by ignoring this triumph of
German arms. So far as the United
States is concerned. the German un-
der water campaign has practically
achieved its object. 1t has closed
the seas to American ships and ex-
cluded them from their lawful trade
And yet Washington awaits an
covert act"

IDAHO AND THE JAPS.

portland Oregonian)
The most irritating sign of provin-
cialism among the American people is
the disposition of certain legislators
to heckle Japan at the time when on
any day that covert act may be COM
mitted which will put the United
States In a state of war with ma
ton against which Japan is fighting.
Whatever be the opinion of a legis-
lator in Idaho that Japanese should
not own land in this country, or that
Japanese men should not be permitted
to marry American women, he should
be willing to keep his opinions in the
background until the more serious
and acute quarrel with Germany is
ended.
The Idaho legislator who persists in
stirring up these questions affecting
Idaho when questions of more gray
ity affecting the United States de-
mand immediate settlement with
Germany shows that in his estimation
Idaho looms larger than the United
States, that he places what he esteems
to be the interests of Idaho above the
interests Of the whole republic. If
our commerce We're to be destroyed,
he would soon discover that Idaho
interests We're far more vitality af-
fected by the submarine menace than
by any Japanese menace which he
imagines to exist. Submarines may
cut off from their best market Idaho
lead, zinc, fruit, grain, wool. meat and
other products. If this We're to hap
pen, the nti-Japanese agitator would
discover his states interest in ship
ping and the freedom of the seas.
though he may never have seen
ship, and the Japanese bogy would
seem small by comparison
Japanese immigration has been
brought to a standstill by the gentle
mems agreement, which Japan Loyalty
observes, and will be still further re-
stricted by the new immigration law.
If any further action should be need
ed, 1t can safely be deferred until the
more urgent business with Germany
is out of the way. When 1t is under
taken, it should be by treaty or by
congressional legislation, not by any
individual state. The only proper au-
thority to adjust relations with Japan
and its citizens is the United States
government, not Idaho or any other
single state.

When war or the prospect of war
requires the services of the citizens OF
Idaho, they will respond without re-
sorting to the draft The attempt Of
Governor Alexander and his adiutant,
who is now leader of the majority in
the house, to insert clause in the
new militia law authorizing drafting
to maintain the national guard at the
minimum strength is repugnant to
the patriotic spirit of the people and
we can not believe that the legislat
ure will accept It, The national guard
as means of national preparedness
has in a great measure been discred-
tied and indications are that it will
soon be discarded The radical means
proposed by the governor and his adj
jutant to maintain the strength of the
militia is designed to clinch the liberal
appropriation made by the federal
government, otherwise the governor
might find it difficult to provide COM
missions for deserving democrats.
