waste has suddenly become valuable.
Even if only so per cent of the zinc in
complex ores can be recovered sue
cessfully by the electrolytic process in
its present state of development, the
removal of this large percentage of a
Geleterious element from complex
ore will simplify the extraction of the
remaining more valuable elements
Western metallurgists now estiWate
that they can treat the so-called COM
pick ores by the new method, credit
ing to the process the value from the
sale of silver, gold, copper and lead,
and producing zinc at a price that will
compete with the retort process under
normal conditions. Even had the war
not broken out when it did the cleo
trolytic zinc process would still have
been developed. The directors of the
Anaconda Copper Mining company
were so impressed with this belief that
they authorized a series of expert
ments at large cost These were con-
1 Guided under the direction of Freder-
lex Laist and they constructed plant
that produced 10 tons of zinc per day
and later Increased this to capacity
of IS tons. They then decided to build
a modern plant close to the source of
power as this is the principal item of
| cost in the process, erecting the larg-
est electrolytic zinc refinery in the
world at Great Falls, Montana. The
plant, as designed, will consist of five
units. Late in December three units
were in operation, producing 95 tons
: of metal per diem, assaying 1892 per
cent. The completed plant will have
a capacity of 100 to IT'S tons of zinc
idaily. During the experiments in the
| test plant at Anaconda the process
Originally proposed by Laist and Frick
was much simplified, consisting essen
TALLY of the following steps: First
careful roasting Of the concentrate at
temperatures not exceeding 730 de-
grees c.; dissolving the zinc, together
with little iron, by spent electrolyte
| in Pachuca tanks. A small amount
of manganese i-oxides is added to OK
idize the iron, which is then precipi-
tated by powdered limestone, bringing
down any arsenic or antimony that
may be in solution. This is leached
| through Oliver filters, nd the residue
| is sent to the blast furnace, while the
lfitrate, containing only zinc sulphate,
with a little cadmium and "copper" Is
treated with zinc dust and again fill
tered, the filtrate being the pure zinc
sulphate solution which is sent to the
, tank room. The anodes are of pure
lead and the catholics of pure alumni
UNI. Deposition goes on for 4S hours
only, when the zinc is stripped from
the cathode sheets and melted into
slabs.

"I Love Him Better
 Then Myself" Wife
 Says of Co-Respondent

'T love him better than myself,' said Grace E. Bundock of this city when her husband found her walking Tn a lonely spot on Central avenue with Bert Coyle. After expressing this moving picture sentiment, Grace turned her back on friend husband and stroled away with the other man. Charles E. Bundock, the aggrieved husband, is @ clerk in the railroad freight office here. After listening to his story Judge Curtis granted Bun dodk divorce.
 The plaintiff said he had a talk with his wife after the Central avenue epi- sode. She admitted having been with Coyle in the latter's home on Hollister avenue for three days. On this occa- sion she had told her husband she was visiting friends in Bristol, R. I.
 Rundock said he married the de- fendant in February, 1912. Her maiden name was Grace Windward. It was in January, 1916, that the wife, who is only about 21 years old. began to dis play a fondness for Coyle. She boast ed to her mother-in- Jaw that she was going out one night with the core spondent and in that way her husband learned the bad news. With two fel- low clerks he followed the pair and discovered them in the wiids of the East End

NATALIE FORBES, DASHINC GIRL
 OF THE OUTDOORS, BETROTHED AS
 SWEETHEART ANSWERS WAR CALL

MT. and Mrs. Holland Forbes for merly of Fairfield, now of New York, informed friends yesterday that their daughter, Miss Natalie Livingston Forbes will become the bride of MT. Clinton McKesson Perry, of this city. MT. Perry is a member of Company K of the Seventh regiment, and the wedding ceremony may not be delay ed long, as hes may be called to the colors.
 She was living then with Mrs. Ed ward l.. Cookery, of 105 West Sev- enty-sixth street, a cousin of her mother. Her parents discouraged her ambitions, but she pgacticed under a professional dancer.
 MT. Perry is a son of Mr. and Mrs. William S. Perry, of New Brighton, s. l. He is a brother of Mrs. Guy Bogert Delafield and of MT. Alexan- ] der Perry.
 Miss Forbes is well known in Bridgeport, where she mingled ex- tensively in society. Talented and beautiful, a dashing tennis player, a clever horsewoman, fond of motoring. golf, swimming and in fact, equally good at any form Of outdoor sport, she had numerous admirers.
 Her marriage Sept. 25, 1914, at the age of IS, to Robert P. Beach, an automobile racing enthusiast and car salesman, created great interest. The couple went to Jersey City, N. J., in racing car. and were married Then they drove at breakneck speed to Hatfield and obtained the blessing of the brides father, A. Holland Forbes, tn noted aeronaut, and Mrs Forbes, who were then living at their country estate, Garden Court.
 A former fiance of Miss Forbes, Howard Baldwin, whose cement was called off because of the youth of the girl. had been hastily summoned to act as best men. He is wealthy New Yorker. He made a vain effort

DEATH TOTAL IN TANK EXPLOSION
 AT BRASS co. 4

The fourth victim of the acetylene gas tank explosion in the Bridgeport Brass Go. plant, Housatonic avenue, Fernando Tomasetti, 28 years, of 89 Washington avenue, died last night in the Bridgeport hospital. Toma- setti was terribly burned on the head and body but his condition and that of three other men at the institution who suffered burns in th- explosion was considered far from fatal.
 The other employees of the com pany to die were William Judge, -has. Nazarene and Louis Navitzi The gas tank which was blown through the roof of the building into the Pequon- noe river and which is believed by Coroner John J. Phelan to be the key to the solution of the mystery, has not been recovered.
 The coroner has postponed his in- vestigation of the case until the four men now at the hospital recover.

24 SURVIVORS LAND
 FROM TREvIER, SUNK
 WITHOUT WARNING

London, April 5-The Belgian steam CT Trev1er, from New York with Bel gian relief supplies was torpedoed without warning. on Wednesday.
 While the boats of the Trevier were being lowered the submarine fired on them, severely wounding the captain, the mate, the engineer. a donkey man and a cook.
 News of the torpedodng of the Tre- vier came in a Reuter- dispatch from Ymuiden. The torpedodng, by a Ger man submarine, the message adds, oc- cured off Scherendngen, Holland!
 Twenty-four members of the crew, of whom eight were wounded, have been brought to Ymutden.
 The Trevier sailed from New York on March for Rotterdam and was reported arriving in Halifax, en route, on March 8. She was of 5000 tons gross. ./

Immediate Appropriation of Vast Sum is Asked of Congress in Budgets For warded by the Executive Departments = Bulk for Army Use.
Nearly $3,oo0,0oo,oo0 for Military Purposes Asked Program Includes In crease in Naval Enlisted Strength to Force of 10000.

| Washington, April 5 Re quests for immediate appro- priation of $3,4OO,OOO,OOO for the army and navy were made to Congress today by the execu- tive departments.
 Provision is made for in- creasing the enlisted strength of the navy to 15O,OOO men and to increase the Marine Corps to 3O,OOO. Of the great sum, a lit tie more than $2,93O, 100000 is asked for the army. ;.
 The details of the estimates ap- proved by President Wilson follow: To be immediately available to the war department, $2,9S2, ,537, ,9a3. Secretary Baker said that this amount was required for the period of one year from the date the appropria- tion is made available and added that "it is considered imperative that the amount be appropriated immediately for military expenditures necessary for the national defense"
 To raise the authorized enlisted strength of the navy and marine corps to 15O,0O0 men and 30,OO0 men, respec- lively, $175, ,762 was asked, to re- main available until June 90, 1918.
 For actual and necessary expepdi lures for the naval establishment, in addition to any and all other appro- priations, to be extended at the direc- tion anld discretion of the president, $292, 53S, ,790 was asked, with the pro vision that Limitations imposed by ex isting law should not apply to the ex- penditure of the fund.
 For the coast guard $500 900 is asked to enable it to bring it's present tele- phone system of coastal communica- tion to a high state of, efficiency.
 Immediately the estimates were re- ferreld to the appropriations commit tee
 President Wilson today gave final study to the bill under which the war department plans to give compulsory military training to probably 2,0OO,- 900 men within two years, and the measure may go to the House and Senate military committees today, if the war resolution is disposed of in the House. Details of the bill will be made public then.
 The navy department up to today had ordered 200 patrol boats to be used as submarine chasers, and addi- tional contracts are signed daily.
 The war departments plan for building an army now is understood to provide for enrolling only men in their 20's, free from home responsi- bilities, for calling out the older men within the prescribed age limits first, and taking subsequently, each younger increment of 50O,000. Regular army physical standards will be maintained, intensive training in trench warfare will be given, and the resulting army will be sufficiently trained and equip ped to equal any similar force in the world.
 The brass making industry has agreed voluntarily to supply the gov ernment's needs at cost. and 8 simi- lar arrangement is being sought with steel and fuel oil producers.

RELIEF SHIP HITS
 MINE AND IS SUNK

New York, April 5.-The Belgian relief steamer Feistein has been sunk in the North sea while approaching Rotterdam, according to a cablegram received here today by +',e Belgian re- lief commission. It is believed that she struck a mine.
 The commission had received nc word from. the London headquarters which sent the message about the Fei- stein, regarding the torpedoing of the Trevier.
 Both vessels carried crews made ur mostly of, Belgians and Dutch. It is believed by the commission that nc Americans were on board either ves- sel.
 The cablegram regarding .he Fei- stein did not say how or when the ship was sunk, or whether any lives were lost.
 Both the Feistein and the Trevier carried solid cargoes of wheat for starving people in Belgium and north ern France.
 The Feistein, Norwegian vessel, ,lef, Philadelphit on Feb. 2s and put m al Halifax, leaving there on March 10. Her cargo was valued at $354 .194. The ship was of 2,991 tons gross. The Trevier's cargo vas worth sS15,se1.
 Members of the commission here 1oath to believe the Trevier had been torpedoed without warning. The vessel had observed the German re- strictions that. given safe conduct vessels take the northern route. This safe conduct was received here March Is, the notification adding that sub- marine commanders had been instruct ed not to molest the relief ships if they conformed to the prescribed regula- tions.

Paris, April 5-President Poincare of France has sent the following cablegram to President Wilson:
 At the moment when, under the generous inspiration of yourself, the great American republic, faithful to it's ideals and it's traditions. is coming forward to defend with the force of arms the cause of justice and of lib- erty. the people of France are filled will the deepest feelings of brotherly appreciation.
 Permit me again to convey to you, Mr. President, in this solemn and grave hour, an assurance of the same sentiments of which I recently gave you evidence, sentiments which, under the present conditi ons, have grown in depth and warmth.
 'I am confident that I voice the thought of all France in expressing to you and to the American nation the joy and the pride which we feel, today as our hearts once again beat, in unison with yours.
 This war would not have reached it's final import had not the United States been led by the enemy himself to take part in it., To every impartial spirit it will be apparent, in the fu- ture more than ever in the past. that German imperialism, which desired, prepared and declared this war, had conceived the mad dream of estab- fishing its hegomony throughout the world. It has succeeded only in bring ing about a revolt of the conscience of humanity.
