: they can take the ore out at a cost of some
thing like cents ton, although it is said,
the charge to the steel company is about
10 cents a ton. They tell me the inventor
gets one-fourth of a cent ton ROYALTY. This
seems small, but when one remembers that
the ore brought down the lakes last year
was more than 65,O00,O0O tons he can see
that the invention is gold mine to its
owner.
The unloading is so fast at times that
there are not cars enough to carry the ore

mighty river Of coal pouring into the hold.
1t was Niagara OF black diamonds, and
was reminded Of the coaling of ships have
seen in other parts of the world My mind
went to Singapore, where Chinese coolies
carry bags and baskets of coal on their backs
up planked roadways which are built from
the docks to the steamers, and to Nagasaki,
Japan, where hundreds of half-nude Japan
csc girls, sprnkled with coal dust, load the
ships in baskets of half bushel each
could see them passing the baskets from one
to another up the ladders and emptying
them spoonful by spoonful, as it were, into
the hold of the ship. The work they did in
hours is here done in seconds, and that at
the eXertion of no more human muscle than
that OF pressing lever or pushing button.
Here at Duluth have watched them un-
loading the coal thus taken on at the ports
OF Lake Erie. Some of the ore vessels
bring lack cargo OF coal, and one, the Col
James M. Schoonmaker has brought 14,47O
tons IN one "trip. The coal is carried about
as far as from New y ork to Chicago and the
81 freight rate IS less than 50 cents a ton. Not
long ago 1t was only 80 cents ton. Then
the war demands raised it to AZ cents. do
not know what it is now But think OF
carrying ton of coal distance of 900 miles
for ~ cents. At Washington pay Is cents

100 feet from the street into my cellar, and
that is merely for the unloading.

go down into the hold and swallow twelve
tons of coal at bite They bring it up with
them and travel over the bridges and spit
it out upon the piles the operator directs.
All this is done with less effort on the part
of the man than that exerted by you when
you put shovelful of coal into your furnace
before going to bed. A cargo of 10000. tons
of coal has been unloaded in this way within
seventeen hours.
The coal docks of Duluth cover acres, and
the piles of coal upon them each contains
thousands Of tons. The port takes over
twelve million tons Of coal every year, and
sometimes the docks are so full that the
steamers are DELAYED for lack of space in
which to unload. The coal is both anchra-
cite and bitumnous. 1t supplies the iron
mines, and it is shipped from here over the
railroads to all parts of,the great northwest.
The amount taken up the lakes often ex-
ceeds twenty-five or thirty million tons d
year. the greater part of which comes to the
ports of Lake Superior.
Duluth is the chief port on the lake It Is
the head of lake navigation and tho indus
trial center of this mining region. It is rap
idly growing and it promises to steadily in
crease in the future. One of the possible
sources Of growth is in the transfer of GER
tain kinds of steel making from the lower
ports to this point, and especially so far as
the demands of the northwest are con-
cerned. AS it is now the steel used here is
made thousand miles away from the
nd he
nea-er the coal regions, and the iron Is taken
to the coal They are now experimenting
IN bringing the coal to the ore, and the Unit.
ed States Steel corporation has built great
plant within few miles of Duluth, where
the ore can be taken down almost by gravity
and where the coal can be brought in ships
up the lakes. This plant is that of the Min
nesota Steel company, situated on the St.
Louis river, which has two miles of water
'front.' where the steamers can land. The
corporation owns fifteen hundred acres, and
upon this it has constructed blast furnaces
and many by-product coke ovens. There
are steel mills of various kinds. and large
number of men are employed. The COM
pany has laid out a model city, much after
the same plan as that of Gary, Ind. The lots
have been planned by landscape gardener
and the homes of the workmen are of con-
crete, artistic in their resign and construc-
ton Each house has its own lawn and gar
den and it is equipped with all modern san
itary conveniences.
The city of Duluth has now more than
100000 population. When visited II gen
Grafton ago | saw real estate signs far out
in the water, offering the space aboutf val
liable lots. The people seemed to md to be
crazy but today that water is covered with
wharves and docks and the city has extend
ed out over the flats. 1t has hundreds of
acres covered with landing and shipping ia
cilities for grain, coal and ore. 1t has great
elevators which will load a steamer within
a few hours, and its wharfage arrangements
are among the wonders of the industrial
world FRANK c. CARPENTER.

Here the unloading is done by gigantic
machines, made altogether of iron and steel.
The machines are connected with travelling
bridges, which run across the coal docks for
length OF 500 feet or more Connected
with them are enormous buckets of steel

Pledges Almost Unanimous
Mrs. ]. A. Rolls, the chairman Of
the Auxiliary, took charge of the
Hoover pledge cards and service
cards with almost unanimous results.
The service cards have already been
of use in asking for clerical help in

ITALY'S DISASTER BOUGHT
WITH CERMANY'S GOLD

at Verdun no adequate support lines
had been prepared. Notwithstanding
all this, Clemenceau tells us through
his paper that no Italian second line
had been prepared at the Taglia-
mento, at the Livenza or at Pave.
Italy had taken no precaution against
an Austro-German counter offensive,
and her supplies and munitions had
been concentrated SO near her front
that they fell at the first German
advance.
Mackensen Not Commanding
Finally we have the testimony of
General Maurice, Director of Mill
tary Operations of the British army,
on his return from Italy, that no
huge German force had been used
against Italy, that the ~redoubtable
Mackensen was not "in the show"
but only the relatively obscure Be-
low. We are then bound to con-
clude that the Italian disaster was
not due to any neglect of Italy by
her allies, or to any supreme mill
tary genius on the part of the Ger
mans. Rather it resembles the COL
lapse in Galicia in June of this year,
when Brusiloff's victorious army ran
away from the troops they had de-
feated. Now that Italy has suffer-
ed deeply there is no disposition on
the part of her allies and her friends
to criticise her mistakes or her mis-
fortunes, but, on the other hand, it
is essential that all the Allied pub
lies should recognize the fact that
the causes of the disaster are to
be found in Italy herself and not
in the neglect of her allies.
An Italian Verdun

go Plateau is beginning to take on
the character of the French resis-
lance at Verdun. If the Italian
present line they will deserve to
rank with Petain's troops, who made
good the proud boast, "They shall
not pass" on the hills above the
Mense. At all events, Italian res
istance is apparently strengthened
and stiffened to such "a point that
the peril of supreme disaster is
over.
Invasion Is Checked
The arrival of British and French
reinforcements is chornicled, and it
would seem now that there is the
very great probability that the Aus
tro-German invasion will lbe stopped
at the Piave or that any future adj
vance will open the way to an Allied
counter offensive. The situation in
Italy. then, seems we'll in hand, so
far as it is a military situation. So
far as it is a moral situation, there
has. been an unmstakable rebound
of the Italian spirit. Invalid Italy
has returned to the fight in some
thing of the spirit of that defeated
France which took the offensive at
the Marine.
But even if a supreme disaster has
been escaped in Italy it is essential
that no Allied statesman and nc AL
lied patriot should mistake the les
son there written. By every influ-
ence that she can exert Germany
is attacking behind the lines and in
the ranks Other enemies, The An
archists, the Socialists. the Clericals,
the intellectual and the ignorant. the
visionary thinker and the man with
ort-all are seized upon by her. The
Utopian ideals of some. the selfish
co%wardice of others these are the
lines through which Germany oper-
ates for the destruction of her en-
emies and the dissolution of the ma
tional unity of the countries who
are fighting her.
May Win BY Corruption
Allied armies have now come to
the support of Italy. We may hope
that Venice is safe and the crest of
the invasion is passed, but unless we
recognize that the same forces which
induced the italian disaster are oper-
ating in France. in England and here
at home in the United States we
shall have at no distant date to on
front another crash, another collapse
like that which has taken place in
Russia in totally and in Italy in
part. Germany has lost the war so
far as it is a military question. She
cannot defeat the armies of her enc
mics. She can win only by corrupt
ing the people behing the armies
and portions of the armies them
selves. Russian and Italian events
should serve the greater end; they
should be final evidences of the way,
and the one way, that the war may
be lost. If they do not serve this
end they NAV yet prove a beginning
of defeat rather than the high water

COMFORTS BEING
SENT TO SANTA
FE ARMY BOYS
BY Ruth Laughlin Barker

BY Ruth LaughIin Barker
Report of the Santa Fe Branch of
the Woman's Auxiliary, New Mexico
Council of Defense.
One hundred and sixty nine Christ
mas packages were shipped Decem-
Der third to one hundred and sixty
nine Santa Fe county men who have
enlisted in the war to put out Prus-
sianism. These packages were fill
ed with a pound of good candy, half
a ,ound of tobacco and cigarette
papers, were wrapped in tissue papers
and had the same gay Christmas
tags, and greetings that yours and
mine will have Christmas morning.
Ten more packages will be filled and
sent out this week to men whose
names have just been discovered in
the various records of enlistments.
Two of these packages were sent
to France and one to Samoa. Christ
mas cards will be sent the officers
whose permanent address is Santa
Fe county.
Good Cheer Bags Also
This is part of the work which has
been accomplished by the Patriotic
Committee, of which Mrs. James Selig-
man is chairman, of the Santa Fe
Woman's Auxiliary to the New Mex
leo Council of Defense. The money
to buy these Christmas gifts was
raised at two benefit moving pic
ture shows and by a contribution
Of $3l from Lamy-the only precinct
outside of Santa Fe which contri-
butcd to this fund The Naval Ser
vice Inc. will also help to defray
th:c y,a,c The D,ttc (A,p
mittee worked with the Naval Ser
vice in sending 1888 Good Cheer bags
to the American soldiers, sailors and
marines in France. They also had
charge of the Liberty Night celebra-
ton. arranging for the bonfires and
flags in front of the Palace of the
Governors and were instrumental in
pushing the sale of Liberty Bonds,
which amounted to over $4,000
among the women of Santa Fe coun-
ty.
Municipal Market A Success
Another concrete benefit which is
due to the Santa Fe Auxiliary was.
the establishing of a municipal mar
ket in the plaza every Saturday
morning during the summer months.
The children and all amateur gard
eners were urged to bring their pro-
duce to this market where it found
a ready sale, the total sales for the
eight weeks amounting'to more than
two hundred dollars. Mrs. Ashley
Pond, the chairman of this commit
tee emphasized the benefit this
market had been to the children who
were in this way encouraged to work
in their. war gardens. 1t is hoped
that this small market will be the =.
