NEW GOLD FIELDS In RUSSIA
Rich Platinum Deposits Have Recent
Iy Been Found on Tributaries
of the River Lena.

AS in everything else, the old regime
of Russia had it's strangle hold on the
gold industry. Siberia and the Ural
could be considered the Classical parts
of the world where deposits of7precious
minerals abound and under free and
progressive government they could
easily lead all the other parts of the
world. The Russian press is full OF
news items chronicling new discoveries
of gold and platinum deposits, as well
as other rare metals,
So from Krasnoyarsk, in Siberia,
came the news that in the northern
and southern Enisey mountain districts
the gold seekers have lately washed
gold to the amount Of about $3.50
pounds. From the Lena, well known
as a gold-bearing river, comes the
word that new rich gold and platinum
deposits were discovered on her tribu-
taries, Willy and Markha.
With the laying of the tracks of the
Amur railroad there is almost a con-
tinuous procession Of discoveries OF
new deposits of precious metals, espe-
cially on the rivers Burea and Khara;
all the deposits are not far from the
new-laid tracks and offer all the OPP
portunities for a successful develop
ment of the newly discovered deposits.

u,S.vICT0RY MUST
PRECEDE PEACE
President Wilson Says German
Success Might Mean De-
mocracy's Suppression.
LEAGUE FOR NATIONAL UNITY
League Outlines Professionalism
Peace Sedltious and Attack on Our
Allies Is Attack on America
-Decries Early Peace Talk.

Washington.-Agita for pre-
mature peace was characterized as
seditious, and those who attacked the
allies of America in the present crisis
were declared to be enemies of their
country by members of the newly
organized League for National Unity
who were received at the White
House by President Wilson.
The President gave his indorse'
ment to the purposes of the league
in an address emphasizing the need
of team play by the forces of Ameri'
can thought and opinion. He ex'
pressed the belief that American pub
lie opinion, although understanding
the wars causes and principles, need
ed guidance to remember that the
war should end only when Germany
was beaten and Germany's rule OF
autocracy and might superseded by
the ideals Of democracy.
This is the issue which the Amerl'
can people should always keep In
mind, the President said, in order to
avoid being misled into byways OF
thought and the resultant scattering
of the force of public opinion. Talk
of early peace before Germany Is de-
feated is one of the evidences OF mis-.
directed thought, he suggested, and
should not cloud the vision of those
who understand that the United States
is fighting now for the same ideals
of democracy and freedom that have
always actuated the nation.
Cardinal Gibbons Of Baltimore,
senior prelate Of the Roman Catholic
Church in the United States, and
Frank Mason North of the Federal
Council of the Churches Of Christ in
America, are Honorary Chairmen OF
the organization, and It's list of Off.
GERS includes men of prominence In
organized labor, industry, and finance
The league will have headquarters
in New York, and will organize at
once for service. On its Executive
Committee are William R. Wilcox,
Chairman of the Republican National
Committee, and Vance Mccormick
Chairman of the Democratic National
Committee. 1t is understood that the
machinery of the Speakers Bureaus
of these great organizations may be
used in a nationwide movement to
unite the country behind the Govern
ment and spread before the people
the many acts by Germany which
brought about the war.

Speaking of Flags.

A young man walked into the office
of J. Fl. Houk, clerk Of the Bartholo-
NEW circuit court and also clerk Of
the Bartholomew county exemption
board. He asked whether he had been
drawn in the draft and was shown that
he would be among the first called up
for examination. Then he called for
blank on which to file claim for
exemption. He said he would claim
exemption because he is married. He
has no children, but he believes his
first duty is to support his wife. On
each side of the front Of the young
mans collar big American flags were
pasted.
1.-THE next time man comes In here
with flags on his collar and says he is
going to claim exemption" declared
Clerk Houk, ST am going to refuse to
give him blank until he hauls down

PITH OF THE
WAR NEWS

The attempt of Chancellor Michaelis,
Vice Chancellor HeIfferich and Vice
Admiral Won Capelle to use the al.
legged plot in the German navy as a
political weapon lnjects serious
crisis into the German government.
Vorwaerts, leading social newspaper
of Germany, attacked Dr.. MichaeIis
as a bIunderer In the mutiny affair
and demanded his resignation.
Evacuation of Belgium by Germany to
insure peace was generally approved
during debate in the Reichstag, but
the Deputies were of one mind in
opposing disarmament or the giving
up of AIsace-Lorraine.
Peace was declared to be impossible
by the German Chancellor in the
Rechstas as long as Germany's
enemies demanded any German
soil or endeavored to drive a wedge
between the German people and
their Emperor.
Naval observers In Washington con-
firmed the report of great activity
in the allied fleet in contemplation
of huge offensive at sea.
Aside from a small further advance by
French near HoutiluIst Wood, there
was comparative inactivity on the
Ypres front, owing partly to the
rain which fell in torrents.
