RENDERS DECISION CONCERN
ING FLOTATION PATENT

A decision Of much interest to mill
men employing the fiotation method
of separation was rendered by the
United States Circuit court Of Appeals
on the 18th instant.
The contention that since the Miner
al Separation patent covered ratio
of oil to ores Of less than per cent,
the use Of more than one per cent was
not an infringement, was decided ad-
versely by the lower court. This was
reversed by the Court Of Appeals.
The case will now go to the U. s.
Supreme Court.

MEMORIAL DAY
WELL OBSERVED
LARGE AUDIENCE GATHERS TO
HEAR RITUAL CEREMONIES
OF C. A. X. YESTERDAY.
Red Cross Workers Feature Of Par
ade. DR.. Ferris Gives Stirring Pat.
riotie Address.

Memorial Day services have. never
seemed more beautiful than yesterday,
when hallowed by the thot Of so many
of our brave boys now in France, or
on the way, who might in another year
be lying in hero's grave.
The parade was enlivened by the
band, which played excellently under
the direction of Frank Knowles. The
boy scouts have seemed disorganized
since the departure of Dean Quigiey,
their scout leader, but few were out.
Especially pleasing was the quota of
Red Cross workers, over forty of them
in their neat white uniforms, which
SO few have seen. 1t was impressive
to think of the hundreds of loyal wo-
men workers, besides these who meet
regularly at the hall; since scattered
in every home and hamlet, are Red
Cross members who knit, and sew
and prepare work for the soldiers re-
lief.
Probably $50 cars went to the Mas
ons' and Odd Fellows cemetery, so
that q large audience heard the bugle
call by which NJ. A. Jencks summoned
the assembly. The audience sang
America, and then the G.. A. u. vet
Grams, led by Major Henry F. Lake. as
Commander of the Day. gave their
impressive and inspiring ceremony.
Senator Sapp read Lincoln's Gettys-
burg speech, SO prophetic Of the pres
ent conflict. Capt. Ditto took the
chaplain's part as usual. Other vet.
Grams in the line were B. r. Martin
II. s. EHrman, ]. C. Mckee, J. r.
Millspaugh.
The address Of the day, by Rev
J. s. Ferris was an eloquent call from
the noble past, to the glorious pres
ent and its stern duties. All pronounce
Il one of the best efforts Rev. Ferrii
has made. ...s...-z.............,.
The weather was not Of the best
but an improvement on some we have
been enjoying. The cemetery lots wers
beautifully decorated for the occasion
by loving hands which strcwed the
flowers and greens above the hnllowed
mounds.

(RY -Assoclarad Press. )

Washington, Nov. Ia. Officials
here estimate that, the total cas-
ualties of the American expeditionary
forces in the war win not exceed
100000. including the men killed in
action. wounded. died Of wounds, dis
lease and accidents and the missing
who never will be accounted for.
Some OF those who have been miss
ing probably will be accounted for
when the prisoners are returned from
Germany.
1t was said today. that it probably
will be several weeks before the
record Of casualties can be complet-
ed. It is regarded as almost certain
that many of the casualties in the re-
cent heavy fighting by the First and
Second American armies have not
yet been reported.
Lists also must be compiled of un-
reported American. casualties in Brit
fsh and French hospitals, especially
from among the United States forces
brigaded with allied units.
Deaths from wounds also probably
win be reported for some time while
lists OF slightly wounded being sent
by couriers may be delayed.

WILSON ADVISED
AGAINST GOING

washington, Nov. 14.-President
Wilson was said today to have gtv~
en- no indication as to how he re-
CARDS the suggestion from hlgn
sources in Europe that he attend the
great conference which is to re-es-
tablish the peace Of War-torn
world.
Most OF the Presidents advisors,
however, are understood to conslder
that acceptance Of the invitations
would involve needless risk and
would serve no purpose that couio
not be accomplished through the DEL
egates who. will be appointed to
represent the American government
and who will be in constant commu-
nication with Washington:
OF Course Lansing viii Go
Should the President decide to at
tend the conference-and some or
those usually we'll informed say he
has an open mind on the subject
that fact would not mean. in the be-
lief here, that Secretary Lansing
would not be a member Of the Amer
lean delegation, as it was said that
upon Mr.. Lansing would fall much
of the weight of the heavy tasks
ton in the conference not only by
virtue of his high rank. but also be-
cause Of his wide experience in 9TH
er international arbitrations.
Old Treaties Destroyed
All the old treaties Of amtty and
commerce under which Internal
trade has been conducted between
the warning nations automatically
have been destroyed by the war. and
it will be necessary to provide
whole new fabric Of trade treaties:
