NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Mrs.
Margaret Sanger, sister of MS.
Ethel Byrne, will go to trial in spe-
cial sessions, Brooklyn, today
charged with circulating birth
control information the same
charge on which Mrs. Byrne is
serving a sentence of 80 days on
Blackwell's Island and which led
to her hunger strike.
Five hundred babies, wheeled
and carried by their mothers, will
escort Mrs. Sanger to court, she
announced, and will accompany
her to a mass meeting at Carnegie
hall after court.
Mrs. Sanger expects to be con-
victed. She will not deny hav-
ing distributed birth control in
formation.
Miss Fania Mondeil, as asso-
ciate, also will be placed on trial
and also expects to be convicted.
Both women, IL convicted and
sentenced are expected to apply
for writ of habeas corpus to en-
able them to attend the Carnegie
hall protest meeting.
Promises Hunger Strike.
Mrs. Sanger and her associates
have promised to hunger strike.

They have declared they will

Correction Commissioner Bur-

there will be no waiting for Mrs.

Conflicting reports regarding
the condition of Mrs. Byrne are
coming from prison authorities
and friends of the militant birth
control hunger striker. Commits
sioner Lewis declared Mrs. Byrne
Is in a satisfactory condition and
that the hunger strike has virtual

by him state that Mrs. Byrne has
made no objection to forcible
feeding. She is being fed regular

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 90.
"A big cabinet shift will take
place early in President Wilson's
second term, 1t was learned today.
This will be in addition to the
diplomatic shake-up which will
take place about March 4 or very
soon thereafter.
The expected cabinet changes,
however, will not begin, it is he

The contemplated changes will
affect the treasury, agriculture.

Reports that Secretary Lansing
might succeed Ambassador Page
at London have been rife, but talk
of this shift is said to be based
only on report.
Secretary of Agriculture Hous-
ton will leave his post probably in
the summer, 1t is reliably stated.
Secretary of Commerce Redfield
will accept q position with a large
manufacturing concern In the
early fall, and Secretary McAdoo
will enter private business about
the same time.

were cited today as another evil
dence of the new policy of utmost
cooperation and coordination
of effort among the nations of

British, French, Serbian and
Russian troops each won distinct
victories in every field of fighting
save the South African and Egyp-

Most spectacular of the victor
ies reported was Russia's smash

sort of weather that has forced a
practical stoppage of the German
campaign in Rumania recently.
Not only did the Russians
achieve an important victory in
this section, but they likewise de-
cisively broke down an attempted
German offensive on the Riga
front.
On the western front there
were three successful raids-two
by British forces near Melville
st. Vast and lie Transloys and
one by the French around Ver-
dun.

track parts receiving special
wear, and railroad men are even
experimenting with rails of the
new steels, and finding their ex-
ira life worth the higher price.
And nobody knows what fur
Their developments may be COM
ing, because-and here is the mys-
terry that makes the new business
on the tideflats so interesting
nobody knows what characters
tics any new combination of met
ais may develop.
Why? Nobody Knows.
Add a certain percent of man
ganese to steel, and the steel be-
comes harder and tougher. Add
little more, and it suddenly be-
comes brittle and useless. Add
still more, and il becomes harder
than ever.
Why? Nobody knows.
Steel ordinarily expands with
heat. Add tungsten, molybdenum
or uranium in the right amount,
and it will stand tremendous heat
without expansion, so that It can
be used for high-speed tools. Add
nickel or chrome, and the steel
becomes very hard to penetrate,
and consequently desirable for
armor-plate.
Why? Nobody knows.
Iron is magnetic. Manganese
is only slightly so. But If you
add the right per cent of manga
nese to iron, the iron becomes
much more magnetic.
Why? Nobody knows.
They're Temperamental.
The metals that do these queer
things cannot be handled like less
temperamental stuffs. They have
likes and dislikes.
II silica, for instance, we're
treated in a furnace with mag
nestle lining, the lining and the
contents would promptly act like
Kilkenny cats and eat each other
up. On the other hand, alloys
with a high percentage of lime get
along beautifully with magnesite.
The Job of keeping the peace
between these various sets of az
finities calls for tact and patience.
81 think the reason we have
succeeded better than most
saws William IL. Rowe, president
of the company, lis because we
didn't know much about the
business to begin with. We had
to go slow and experiment, which
ia the safest way with these
things
Until the war broke out. prac-
tically all the alloys needed in
the steel and iron business were
mined and reduced in Europe.
Most of the manganese came from
England. Tungsten came from
Germany. Other special alloys
came from France and Belgium.
New Industry Originates.
And all the while the noun
tains of America, and particular
" of the Pacific Coast and Alaska,
were full of thine.
The United States Steel corpor-
alton made a very small amount
of ferro manganese, and the Beth
lebem steel company made lit
tie, There were two alloys plants
at Niagara Falls and Keokuk,
Iowa, and some experimenting
was being done at Heroult, Cali
fornia. That was about all.
Alloys cannot be handled with
the ordinary blast furnace. The
long, steady, fierce heat Of the
electric furnace is a necessity.
Consequently, an alloys plant can
only be located where power is
plenty.
William II. Rowe, old pros
rector and Nome pioneer, knew
from his prowlings in the noun
tains of the Pacific coast and
Alaska, where to find the metals
needed. Down on the Tacoma
tideflats he found the buildings
erected by the Pacific Coast Iron

FavOrite Stock Argument OF

da and Pacifists.

is CnlS q rlcn man war!
Yes, it is-and the poor mans,
too.
The Commission of Public Safe
ty has received number of re-
ports to the effect that this ar
gument is invariably advanced
when all others against the war
have been successfully met and
refuted.
1t is most vicious and con-
temptible piece of propaganda
used by pro-Germans and all
other classes who desire to
weaken the country in the face
of the enemy. The men who re-
sort to this assertion have some
purpose in view aside from the
desire to weaken the govern
ment in this war. They are ell
ther men who are obsessed of
one idea, which obscures and dis
torts his reason or they are men,
who don't care what they say as
long as they get the votes.
If this is a rich mans" war,
we have a set of wealthy men
who are either crazy or very stu
pid. Everybody knows that they
are not either stupid or crazy.
Our financial and commercial in
terests were prospering greatly
before this nation declared war,
it is true, and that they urged
the country into war to save
themselves and promote their
business is something of which
the most prejudicial mind is un.
able to grasp.
The condition of the stock
markets today and the hundreds
of rich mems sons now in the
trenches and in the cantonments
are powerful refutations of any
such unwarranted statements.
The laboring classes of this
country surely have no wish to
contrast their conditions today,
or previous to the war, with
those of any nation that might
be dominated by Germany. Sup
pose that Germany won and had
the power to dictate the CONNER
cial conditions in, this country
with it's rule of iron and a ruth
less military autocracy. Whose
war would it be then?
Yes, it is both a rich mans and
the poor mans war. They have
at least something in common
and they are meeting on an equal
footing in the war to make de-
mocracy safe and to establish an
everlasting world peace.

"Y" FUND LITERALLY
SUBSCRIBED TO
Pine County's Quota About SlO,.
OW1FOrmer Congressman
Bede Talks For it.

Many Pine County citizens are
busy this week accepting dona-
tions for the Y. M. c. A. war
fund, and from reports it ap-
pears that the money is coming
in literally. At the county 10y
atty meeting in Hinckley Satur-
day several contributions of $50
apiece were received and the ma
chinery was started for good
sized fund. The campaign CON-
menced Nov. IL and closes Nov.
10. By this time it is hoped
that the quota of $1,OOO,0OO for
the state and $35. 100000 for the
nation will be reached.
j. Adam Bede of Pine City,
has been selected to look after
the campaign in Pine County
and is speaking in several of the
villages this week. He addressed
a large and appreciative audience
at Askov Tuesday night at which
time about $3.50 was raised.
About the same amount was
raised in Sturgeon Lake Monday
evening. Since the meeting a
few more donations have come
in making the total now $194.OO.
Donations are accepted up to and
including Monday, Nov. 19, by H.
Petersen at the American office.
In his talk here at Askov Mr..
Bede gave a good description Of
the work that is being done by
the Y. M. C. A. for the soldiers,
and how the work will Be *
tended to the. European coun-,,
tries. Mr.. Bede also gave a
short talk on the causes of the
war diverting occasionally to a
good joke, for which he is fam
GUS. Mr.. Bede's jokes are classy
and not Of the 10 cent vaudeville
variety. He is well liked and
appreciated in Askov and we
hope to hear him again soon.
Following is a list Of those
from Askov who have donated:
