ARE WE PREPARED TO MEETIT?

Under the caption, "a Challenge to

Times, in view of the real competition
in the several lines of industry that will
surely be ''hard hit" with the close of
the struggle in Europe, sounds the
following warning that it will be we'll

Here is competition that may well cause
manufacturers and economists in the
United States to take notice. It is a
challenge from country at war to one
at peace which has been pluming itself
on its ability to beat the world in
dustrially because everything had come
its way while competitor nations were
out of the markets. 1t, taken together
with available data on industrial re-
cuperation in belligerant lands, is a
sharp Contradiction of the confident as.
sertlons made in this country that the
Europeans scannot come back" for
years. after the war; that our war-born
prosperity balloon is in no danger of
puncturing when peace returns. 1t is
only straw, but it proves what can be
done and is being done under the stimu-
lus of necessity. 1t establishes what
all who have had the mental vision to

ADMIRAL DEWEY
DIES AT CAPITAL
Manila Bay Hero Fails to Rally
from Illness Following
Breakdown.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Admiral
Dewey, hero of Manila Bay, and by
priority the ranking naval officer of the
world, died at his home here at 5:56 p.
m. today in his eightieth year. His
death resulted from a general break
down, accompanied by arterio aclerosis.
Mrs. Dewey and the Admiral's son.
George, Jr., were at the bedside when
the veteran passed away.
Admiral George Dewey, "hero of
Manila Bay" fought and won the first
great American naval battle against a
foreign foe since the War of 1872.
His whole life was full of honorable
achievements from the days of the Civil
War down to the time when, as the
head of the general board, he began
the last chapter of his work by laying
plans for the defense of his country in
time of war. His life was a striking
eXemplification of the possibilities of a
career upon the exact and intelligent
performance of every routin duty which
molds man on infexible lines of duty
and honor.
One of the curious freaks of f.rtune
in Dewey's case was that for perhaps
the first and only time in his naval
career he was disposed to protest
against the edict of the Navy Depart
want 1,biob oorr;oJ b;oo ;,+o A. IT,.
East, where he was destined to per-
form the greatest feat of his life and
to win imperlshable renown. That was
back in 1898 when the war clouds were
gathering and Dewey felt that he was
being "shelved;" that the war with
Spain was to be fought out in the Gulf
of Mexico and in the Caribbean Sea and
that he. distant by half the circum-
ference of the globe, would stand no
chance of winning glory, for at that
moment no thought what ever had been
given to the Philippines. But he took
his orders and like true sailor obeyedl
them. The result is page of history
under date of May l, 1898.
Contrary to Spanish expectations,
Dewey sailed into Manila Bay on the
night of April 80 and in the morning of
the next day he annihilated Admiral
Montojos squadron, DESTROYING II war
ships and capturing all other vessels
and all the land batteries without the
loss of a man on the American side.
Upon his triumphant return to the
United States he was feted by the ma
ton. His admirers presented him
with beautiful home in the national
capital. Congress gave him an en-
graved sword, and raised him from the
rank Of commodore to rear admiral and
then to the tull rank of the Admiral of
the Navy.
Admiral Dewey was the third Ameri-
can to reach that pinnacle of naval
rank. Farragut was the first and
Porter the second. 1t was under Far
ragut that Dewey received his first
baptism in war.

keyser Daily Echo Suspends
Publication.

The Daily Mountain Echo, Keyser,
W. Va. has suspended publication, due,
according to signed statement by the
editor, Col. E. E. Hood, to the almost
prohibitive price of news print, the de-
mand on the linotype for bookwork and
the fact that the "Keyser people in
general have not shown the right ap-
probation of our efforts to give them a
real daily newspaper" Col. Hood says
it is contemplated to resume publication
after the installation of additional ma
chinery. The Daily Echo carried a
Geographic press service. The publ
cation of the Weekly Echo will be con-
tinued.

WASTEFULNESS IN AMERICA,

In the conservation of natural re-
sources, such as forests and prtable
water, this nation Jagged far behind
other civilized peoples, and there are
other manifestations of American
wastefulness the correction whereof
has hardly begun. A universal war
was required to bring home to Ameri-
cans the fact that many millions of
potential national wealth were per
mitted literally to go up in smoke.
The installation Of by-product ovens,
replacing the older form of cellular
coke ovens, is proceeding rapidly, and
will involve an investment Of about
$3.50, 000, 600. Nevertheless, 1901
beehive non-recovery ovens are still in
use. In the year last preceding the
war the United States produced 81, coo, .
coo tons Of pigiron as compared with
the production Of $4,000, 900 tons by
Great Britain and Germany combined.
This means that we used 2, 900, 900 more
tons Of coal per year than these two
countries in order to get the 1000, 600
extra tons of coke needed in the smelt-
ing of our 1000, 900 tons excess of raw
iron. Yet one of the main by-products
of coking creosote oil. of which we con
sumed los, 373, 900 gallons in 1918, was
produced locally to the amount of only
41,700,000 gallons. Two thirds of our
requirements were imported from Great
Britain and Germany.
