MINERAL NEEDED BY
THE u. S. GOVERNMENT

The Colorado Geological survey Is
cooperating with the U. S. govern
ment in an attempt to find workable
deposits of certain minerals for which
the war has caused an increased de-
mand. Among these minerals are;
Ores of molybdenum Gree from cop
PERI ores of vanadium uranium
nickel, Manganese and platinum.
Transparent, unfracturcd flourspar in
fairly large pieces, and as nearly col
orless as possible is also needed

Persons knowing Of deposits of any
of these ores should write to r. D..

with these ores will find descriptions
Of them in Bulletin Of the Colo

out of print but Bulletin 10, covering
much of the same ground, will he

til Bulletin IL is ready the survey
can provide pamphlet which de
scribes the ores mentioned, and those
of all other important metals. This
will cost 10 cents.
The survey may be able to furnish
small fragments of the commoner
ores to few prospectors. But un-
less they are really needed they
should not be asked for as only Il
very small amount of the material
can be spared.

FINS SEE FREEDOM NEAR
(By Lowell Mellett)

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
LONDON, April 10, - BY Mail -
"Kultur." That. so Jan Jansen de
slared. is what Finland hopes to win
from this war.
But Jansen, let it be added hastily,
was talking in Finnish and he didnf
mean the thing which German Kultur
has come to mean to everybody ex-
cept the Germans. The boss of the
Russian bank, in which Jansen is a
clerk, and the banks English inter
prefer explained what it meant.
Finland wants Finnish school
houses with Finland's flag floating
above them-filled with Finnish chill
dren learning their own language, lit
erature and history. The Finnish peo-
Pile want the right to pursue their
own way unmolested They are ready
to believe that the war not only will
give them the right, but that, thru
the Russian revolution. it has already
done so.
Full freedom from Russian rule is
not expected; but government in
all affairs that solely concern Fin
land is part of the peoples demand.
They wish to manage their business
affairs, to continue the development
IF their country. their road and har-
Dor building, for the benefit of them
selves. Above all they want their
nationality preserved.
Any American city or community
that has its Finnish colony will un-
derstand this for in every such com
munity the center Of the peoples life
is Finnish hall. an institution devot-
ed to culture rather than hilarity.
Finnish halls keep the native Ian
guage alive as far as possible, even
in America. 1t is easy to understand
the impacable attitude of the Firms
at home toward Russian efforts to
stamp out their mother tongue.
Finland's complaint against Russia
now happily dissolving, was only II
dozen years old, said Mr.. Jansen. 1t
dated from that eXtra-reactlonary re
gime which following, and appar-
emily regretting the Cars conces-
sions to the people in 1905, sought to
upset all the benefits granted Fin
land. Since that time, Jansen de
elared, Russian governors sent to gov
ern Finland have devoted themselves
largely to the difficult task of stamp
ing out the identity, of the Firms as
separate people.
Won Seyn concentrated on the job
of making Russian mouiiks out of
the Firms he said.
The Firms are a peaceful, patient
people. 1t is hard to see what the
old regime feared from them. Possi-
bly, it was simply way of eXtorting
the money; thirty million marks has
been taken annually in taxes for the
Imperial government in recent years
part of this being spent In the main
tenance Of Russian officials and
troops in Finland.
