SECURES THE METAL

21 ,OOO Ounces of Platinum Obtained
 by American Lieutenant and ship-
 ped to U. s.
 Washington, Dec. 15.--The story of the hazardous gathering of 21,OOO ounces of platinum by Lieutenant Norman A. Stines and it's shipment across Siberia to Vladivostok and then to the United States was told today by officials of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, which conducted negotiations for obtaining the metaal to supply pressing WI needs {
 Lieutenant Stines, 8 platinum ex- pert, was attached to the military staff of the American embassy in Pet rograd. Realizing the necessity of ob- taining the platinum if war prepara- tions were not to be forestalled, he began to obtain control of large quan- titles in various parts of Russia with the financial assistance of the Russian English bank of Petrograd This metal he offered to the United States government at cost.
 When the time came for shipment to the United States it was found that many difficulties had to be surmount- ed Officials desiring to hold the metal for higher prices had to be placated. Unusual care had to be taken against robbery. Because platinum is on the imports embargo list, the consignment was shipped to the secretary of com- merce with the understanding it was to be used solely for government needs.

DODGE COUNTY FAIR
EPUD|ATE SENATOR
THOS. ". HARDWfCK

EASTMAN, Ga, Oct. because OF
his attitude towards the war policy of
the administration, the invitation ex-
tended to United States Senator
Thomas w. Hardwick to address the
people of this section during the Dodge
County fair this month, has been with
drawn. The Dodge County fair pro-
gram has Eeen so arranged it does not
now include Hardwick as among the
men who will be here to deliver adj
dresses
Earlier In the year the junior sena-
tor, with other Georgians of promin-
ence was invited to attend the fair and
asked to deliver an address while
here. He accepted. The invitation,
however, was sent to him before his
speech at Columbus in July, in which
he attacked the administration
He was shortly thereafter informed
by officials of the Dodge County Fair
association that it had been found nee
essary to revise the fair program.
When the revision was made, the name
of Senator Hardwick was dropped
from the list of speakers.
At the time the junior senator was
asked to attend the fair here Con-
gresham Larsen and Senator Hoke
Smith were also invited. The attitude
of Mr.. Hardwick was not known when
the invitation was sent to him, but
hen it was made known by his speech
at Columbus he as informed by an
officer of the Fair association that it
was necessary for the people of East
man and Dodge county to forego the
opportunity of hearing him deliver an
address during the fair.
None of the fair officials care to be
quoted on the matter other than to
say that the invitation was extended
to Senator Hardwick and that circum-
stances arose that necessitated a
change in the program. And as above
stated, Mr. Hardwick was not kept on
list of speakers after the change was
made. In plain words, he was dropped
and so notified
Dodge county people are in accord
with the administration and are doing
all in their power to help bring the
war to a successful termination They
have furnished some splendid men for
the new army, and the county is as
we'll represented in the various arms
Of the service as any in the state.
