Price OF IRON ORE
INCREASED TO $3.50
Steel Men Do Not Oppose Figure
Meeting Advanced Cost.

Price of iron ore was yesterday
increased IS cents a gross ton (. o.
b. lower Lake ports. No change
was made on prices of steel or pig
iron, and none was asked by the
steel manufacturers of the coun-
try who met with the price fixing
commiiA'e of the war industries
board here yesterday. The new price
on iron ore is $3.50.
The steel men. headed by Judge
E. H. Gary of the Steel Corpora
tion. had been meeting for a week
in New York previous to their con-
ference here and it had been ex-
pected that they would ask a sub
stantial increase. The government
experts had prepared figures show
ing big profits the steel mills were
under the present sched-
ules and were prepared to resist
to the utmost any notifications.
The steel men were apparently
present only to see that the ore
men to whom they conceded an in
erase was due did not claim and
receive so large an increase that
the mills could not operate profit-
ably.
The meeting dragged all day. and
the decision came only after an ex-
haustive study of labor costs and
railroad rate increases. The in
creased ore price was to come out
of the earnings of the steel COM
panies as their prices were to be
so they questioned each
statement and figure.

BRIEF FAREWELLSI IN
Mine region ASKED
Output of Coal Lowered by Pro-
longed Draftee "Goodby Parties"

Miners In the anthracite field have
been asked by Fuel Director Garfield
to moderate their farewell parties to
go TO cantonments Monday with the
draft contingents. In the past there
have been joyous celebrations, some
times lasting for several days, and
reducing the output OF the mines.
Garfield arranged with Gen. Crowder
to have the draft contingents leave
after O'Clock in the evening this
time. and appealed to the miners to
have their farewell parties after &.
and to be back on the job bright and
early Tuesday,
The labor situation is seriously
threatened in the anthracite region by
the draft. J. B. Neale. chief of the
production division of the Fuel Ad-
ministration. has been in Pennsyl-
vania for the past week He reports
that. with 100 per cent delivery In
cars from the railroads now, the mine

thousand men for the army Monday
will throw them behind. DR.. Garfield
is understood to feel that the men
mining coal should be exempt from
military service. because more neces-
sary at the mines, but will make no
request of the War Department.
The bituminous fields are not hit SO
hard as the anthracite, as more of
the miners there are of alien birth.
This is also true of the iron ore and
copper miners.

GETS AIR COMMISSION

Lieut.. Henry G. SpauIding. whose
sister, Miss Martha D. Spaulding.
lives at l226 y street northwest, to-
day is a first lieutenant in the avia-
don section in France and is pre-
pairing to go to the front line for
auty over the enemy trenches. News
Of his elevation to Il commission after
serving as a gas engine student since
last summer was contained in a dis
patch received by his sister yester-
aay. Lieut.. Spaulding lived in Wash
hgton prior to his enlistment in the
Maryland National Guard during the
border unpleasantness. He attended
Mount st. Mary's College in Mary
and and left that institution to take
up insurance work In this city.
When the first officers training
lamp at Fort Myer opened last May
Lieut. Spaulding was one of the stu
aents. Subsequently he left for
Princeton to study gas engines and
was later transferred to the over
IeaS forces.

ment of a new air-cooled engine.
which in tests abroad has attained a
height Of 900 feet in record time.
The new engine for its weight IS the
fastest climbing engine produced to
date by the allies. 1t can carry a
one-seater machine at a speed Of l5o
miles an hour, and is a very con-
sistent performer. II will be used in
combat planes.
Gen. Brancker stated that many
experiments are being carried out in
the development Of new aircraft
guns. He believes that the machine
gun will hold its own, although he
said that excellent results had been
obtained by the use OF a gun OF the
shotgun type which was fired through
the propeller shaft and whose FIRE
covered a large area
In view OF the new proposals for
long distance flights, and because Of
recent successful tests OF armored
aircraft, II is the opinion OF the Brit
ish expert that by next year the
allies will be able to carry out sue
cessful and comprehensive raids
against every city in Germany. He
believes that this should prove a
powerful factor in ending the war,
but admits that It will call for a
huge program Of ground preparation.

'G0TT FORGIVE
PRAY HUNS AS
BULLETS MISS
Work Daily Death and
Woe on Enemy" Is
Their Plea.

Amsterdam. June Alderman SOL
diers now are required to ask their
''Gott' for forgiveness when their
shots do not take effect against the
allies. r..
This is almost unbelievable, but It
Is true.
How the Prayer Reads.
The prayer which contains this
brutal plea Is contained in a booklet
prepared for army circulation by one
Dietrich Volwerk. 1t Is also circu-
lated among church congregations at
home.
The prayer reads:
Though the warriors bread be
scanty, do Thou work daily death
and tenfold woe upon the enemy.
Forgive in merciful long-suffering
each bullet and blow which misses its
mark!
Lead US not into the temptation
of letting our wrath be too tame in
carrying out Thy divine Judgment.
Deliver us and our ally from the
Internal Enemy and his servants on
earth.
Thine is the kingdom, the German
land: may we, by the aid OF Thy
steel-clad hand, achieve the fame and
the glory. Amen"
Dietrich Vorwerk. the collector of
this prayer book and perhaps the
author OF this sharpshooters' prayer.
Is the man who wrote the words to
the hymn in which the blessing of
"Gott" Is asked upon the German
"Cherubinen, Seraphinen, Zeppelin
en-" (cherubs. seraphs, Zeppelins).

the negroes fired three shots at him.
Mansfield returned the shots, but all

Because the machine did not have
