Given Quietus by President.

Two war measures which had strong
support in Congress were given their
quietus by the President during the
week. One was the resolution by Sen
ator King of Utah for a declaration OF
war on Turkey and Bulgaria. Senator
King went to the White House for q
conference, following which he an
nounced that he would not press his
resolution for consideration at this
time. Mr.. Wilson made It plain that
he was opposed to a declaration Of war
now. and gave Senator King his chief
reasons for such opposition. These
reasons were not announced to the
Senate. but consideration for the safety
Of Americans now in Bulgaria and
Turkey. particularly the latter, are I'M
derstood to be an important factor.
The other project killed by the Presi-
dent was the Chamberlain bill providing
for the trial by military courts-martial
Of treason and espionage cases. Sena-
tor Overman, chairman of the judiciary
committee. made public letter from
the President declaring unalterable op-
position to the measure, on the grounds
that it was both unnecessary and I'M
constitutional. Following reading of
the letter. Senator Chamberlain an
nounced hiatt he would not press his
bill.

Complains Of Socialists.

A feature Of the debate on the Over
man bill was the charge by Senator
Sherman Of Illinois that the President
is harboring socialists in his cabinet
and in other places Of high authority.
The cabinet members he accused Of
having socfa1istic tendencies are Sec
rotary Of War Baker, Secretary of
Labor Wilson and Postmaster General
Burleson. Other officials he named as
socialistic are Carl vrooman, assistant
secretary Of Agriculture; Louis F..
Post. assistant secretary Of labor, and
George Creel, chairman Of the commit
tee on public information.
Senator Mcclellan Of Tennessee de-
manded the elimination from the pub
lie service Of the dollar-a-year men,
retaining on salary those whose SER
vices are desirable. Charles NJ. Schwab,
director general of the, Emergency Fleet
lCorporation: Herbert Hoover. food adj
|ministrator; DR.. Harry A. Garfield, fuel
administrator. and a host of other men
who are doing important work for the
government without compensation
would come under the Mcclellan ban.
To give these men adequate salaries"
as Senator Mcclellan proposes, would
require that some Of them be paid more
money than the President himself re-
ceiVe8.

No More Men Needed Now.

!. The raising Of additional men for
Eventual service in France came in for
q good deal of attention at the hands
Of Congress during the week. Secretary
of War Baker. who recently returned
from Europe. appeared before both the
Senate and House military committees
and gave his views on this and other
subjects. The hearings were behind
closed doors. but 1t was announced that
Mr.. Baker told the committees that he
had no request to make at this time for
an increase in the armed forces beyond
those already authorized. Whenever
shipping is In sight. the Secretary indi-
Gated. to transport and supply more
men than those already provided for by
Legislation. Congress will be called
upon to legislate them into the service.
Half a million men will be added to
the eligible list through adoption by
the House of the Senate resolution
providing for registration Of men who
have become twenty-one years of age
since June last. Because Of House
amendment striking out provision to
exempt eligibles who have entered
medical or divinity schools. the resolu-
ton was sent to conference, but there
is no dispute between the houses on
the main principle involved.

New Program for Labor.

Appointment of labor administrator.
1t was stated during the week. is step
the President has decided upon for
the near future. though the appoint
ment may be delayed until final passage
Of the Overman bill. 1t Is contended
that the Presidents wartime authority
Is sufficient to enable him to create
this office. Just as he has created
others. but with prospects that specific
congressional authority will be forth
coming at an early day. Mr.. Wilson, it
is said. prefers to wait.
The Presidents labor program. 1t is
understood. Is an extensive one. aiming
not only at the adjustment Of wage
and other disputes. but at the recruit
ing of labor for essential war indus
tries and its equitable distribution.
One of the most important problems
of the labor administrator will be to
keep the war industries manned with
out further encroachment on the farms.
With the planting season now at hand
the seriousness Of the farm labor
shortage is becoming manifest. What
was only a theory last winter has be-
come condition, and there Is very
serious uneasiness among those charged
with responsibility for feeding America
and the allies.

Valuable Graphite.

GRAPHITE is one Of the war min
W erals about which the average man
knows but little. yet it's uses are nu.
merous and important. 1t is employed In
the manufacture of crucibles for the
production of brass and other valuable
alloys and high-speed steels, in the
making Of paint and lubricants and in
wide variety Of other industries
lead pencils are not truly what their
name signifies; they are graphite pen
cils-that is. the bore in the cedar
poplar, locust, or whatever other wood
the slender cylinder may be, is filled
with graphite.
The largest graphite mines in the
world and those producing the best
grades of graphite are in Ceylon, and
there are also important deposits in
Mexico and Chosen. In the making OF
crucibles graphite is combined with
clay. and before the war the best CLAW
for this purpose was obtained in Bava.
ria, in which country are also graphite
mines. but producing grades distinctly
inferior to those that are mined in Cey-
lon. When Germany's supply Of Cey-
lon graphite was cut Off that country.
Of course. turned to the utilization Of
Bavarfan graphite. The crucible makers
In the United States. cut off from their
usual supply of Bavarian crucible clay,
turned to the work of locating and de-
veloping the deposits of crucible CLAW
in the United States and their efforts
In this direction have been very sue
cessful.
In a pamphlet prepared some time
ago by Henry G. Ferguson of the
United States geological survey and
published by the government the in
formation was given that the largest
Alabama counties of Coosa, Clay and
Chiffon. but during the course Of the
war graphite mines have been opened
In Alaska. California, Colorado. Michi-
gan. Montana ont ,l Nevada vads;. Texas and
to exist in New York. Pennsylvania,
North Carolina and Rhode Island have
been extended or developed. The graph
lite deposits in New York are in the
Adirondack region. in the counties Of
Washington: The industry Of produce
ing artificial graphite has been carried
to high state of excellence at Niagara
Falls. electric energy being used for
this purpose.
In the year before the war the mar
ket value Of graphite was about $43O
ton. and In the year after the war the
price had risen to about $1,000 ton.
Its price has increased since then.
While the demand for graphite has
vastly increased in this country. Eng
land and France. the production has
been also very much increased. In 1915
there were produced in the United
States about 5000 tons and in 1915
$4,000 tons. 1t is believed that the pro-
duction this year stands at about 10000
tons. This does not nearly meet the
American demand. for in 1915 the
United States imported more than A.
900 tons. Notwithstanding the great
increase in the production of American
mined graphite and American made ar
tiicial graphite, the amount imported
Is steadily increasing.

The Old, Old Story.

A PROPOS of the American govern
~ ment's rejection Of the Lewis gun,
Col. Lewis said one day to a war corre-
spondent:
"Oh. well. the story of my gun is the
story of all inventions.
George Westinghouse once succeed
ed in getting an interview with Com
modore Vanderbilt, the railroad king.
Westinghouse was then poor and I'M
known. He wanted to submit his new
air brake invention to the commodore.
well. he submitted it. Then: when
he was through his talk. he looked at
Commodore Vanderbilt anxiously. The
commodore was smiling.

ments Of the week were more
congressional than executive.
Executive departments were busy. Of
course, forwarding programs already
mapped out. both those Of which the
public has knowledge and others the
nature Of which it is sought to keep
secret, but Congress and its doings
came in for chief consideration.
Public interest was held largely by
the contest in the Senate over the Over
man bill. comforting on the President
power to reorganize executive depart
ments for the period Of the war, re-
garded by administration supporters as
one OF the most important war meas
ures with which Congress has been
called upon to deal.
1t was worthy of note that as time
neared for vote on the measure, oppo-
sition in the Senate became less vio-
lent. Senators who regard the Over
man bill as dangerous piece Of legis-
1ation did not abandon their position.
but 1t was SO apparent that, the bill
would pass that they confined them
selves largely to efforts to amend 1t.
There Is vast amount of curiosity
as to just what advantage the Presi-
dent will take Of the Overman act whom
1t finally Is written into law. His pow
ers under 1t will be larger than those
welded by any other President.

Not Dismayed by Casualties.

Participation of American troops on
q larger scale than heretofore in the
lighting on the western front stimu-
lated interest in war news and war
activities of all kinds. Liberty bond
parades Friday in Washington and
other cities throughout the country
were one manifestation of this inter-
est. and it was shown by the crowds
in front Of newspaper bulletin boards
and in other ways.
There was no evidence of that dis
may which the Germans had expected
when the casualty lists began to
lengthen. The American people are
shaking down" for the war. There
is heard much less complaint against
food restrictions and other minor in
conveniences. and more Of a DISPOSE
ton to make the best of things, or to
make them better. The week wit
messed a large enrolment of women
and girls and high school boys for
farm work this summer. and war
gardeners were busy wherever weather
conditions permitted.
Some months ago. looking forward
to opening Of the spring offensive in
France and Flanders, there was a very
general expression Of hope and belief
that the fighting Of the coming sum-
mer would bring the war to an end
Not much of that sort Of talk is heard
today. By awakening to a realization
that preparations must be made for a
long war, the country has taken a
vital step toward shortening it.
