the American Red Cross has been des-
ignated by the War Department as the
official welcoming body for the soldiers

proximately five hundred a day from
each camp and cantonment in the coun-
try. This means that nearly fifty thous-
and men will be released from the
camps each day and will be travelling
to their homes.
Arrangements are being perfected by
the organisations OF the American Red
Cross all over the country to care for
the wants Of these men en- route. and
to welcome them when they arrive at
destination. The War Department has
made the suggestion. which will be act
ed upon. that the Red Cross. through
its various Chapters and Branches.
should express the appreciation of the
American people to the discharged SOL
men temporarily gave up home. friends.
positions and everything to undertake
the rigors and hardships OF training
preparatory to duty overseas on the bat
tiefields. and It is the intention OF the
Red Cross, through It's local organiza-
lions everywhere. to appoint "Welcomo
Home" committees. to meet trains car
rying these men to their homes and
give them such a reception as will make
them feel that the American people ap-
preciate their sacrifice.

WINGED than ever that advertising pays.
On the face OF the situation Mr..

congress six years. His last plurality
had been s.o4s. He appeared to be
strongly intrenched. The only hole in
his political fences appeared to be a
poor record in war legislation; this had
turned some of the Democrats against
him. In fact. Keating's voting record
In congress was so un-American that
the nomination Of 100 per cent Amer

Everyone interested in the mining In
dustry has reason to be elated over the
two smashing blows just dealt to the
smelter trust by Uncle Sam within the
past fortnight. The American Smelling

all competition In the past, has been
brought up with a quick Jerk, evident

erioan market aimed at monopolizing
the American minerals separation in
dustry. There Is no question but that
the so-called smelter trust has had q
strange hold on the miner of the Rocky
Mountain country for the past quarter of
century or more. What the American
Smelling & Refining company gained

accomplish through the courts.
Just what pressure was brought to
bear upon the Guggenheims and the

Idaho from the same fate can possibly
be learned from the files of the De-
