Effects of the War

T was nightly impressed with condi- tions in the east, writes Kansas friend just back from New York trip to this edi- tor regarding the effects of the war. Real ly," he goes on, we don't know anything about this war out here as compared with what they are going through back in the eastern states Business conditions are in frightful condition on account of inability to ship and get shipments. Then he gives examples of the difficulty of freight move ments In a big wholesale stationery and supply house this Kansas man saw a sta tioner from Baltimore buying writing ink and with it he bought twelve first class tickets from New York to Baltimore so he could check one hundred and fifty pounds of ink with each ticket.
 HE COULD NOT GET THAT INK BY FREIGHT AT ALL.
 According to this Kansas man, they are hauling freight between New York and Philadelphia in motor trucks at ninety cents per hundred weight, while the express charge between these cities Is sixty cents and the freight rate twenty-three cents.
 Again, he talked with the manager of a plant in Brooklyn who uses two carloads of boxes day and had always bought them from Maine He was coming west to llli- nois to see if he could not get shipments from there, as 1t was impossible to get his boxes any more by way of any New Eng land railroad.
 In the New York hotels they are living up to the food regulations to the strict let ter and spirit of all the meatless, wheatless days and economies connected herewith. Bread portions are weighed and money cannot buy more for each person with each meal.
 This editor real this letter with much pride and satisfaction as regards the observ- ance of food economy, and with much thought as regards the stricture on freight shipments. True 1t is that we do not know about the war in the west as compared with the east In the manufacturing and con- gested centers the war has come home in earnest More and more are the efforts of all workmen and the offices of all car wheels and the uses of all machinery de- voted to the advancement of this nation war program as fast and as far as possible. We are just beginning to feel it out here. It pinches in one place and another But the real pressure has not yet begun to be felt in the more sparsely settled regions of the union
 But 1t will come Soon the entire coun- try will settle down to a strictly war basis. Economy and self-denial will be practiced upon scale and by means of an organiza- ton undreamed of now. All industrial ac- tivities will be devoted in more or less degree to war work. Every pound of food that we do not actually need to sustain life in this country must be sent to our allies and our soldiers abroad We must build the ships to carry 1t across the seas. We must speed up our airplane program We must make more guns and shells We must raise more food and make more freight cars and locomotives and steel rails and scores of other things imperative to the successful conduct of modern war
 AND WE MUST DO THESE THINGS WITH TYyO NAH TON IECc ADJ [

AND WE MUST DO THESE THINGS WITH TWO MILLION LESS ABLE BODIED YOUNG MEN IN OUR INDUS TRIAL WALKS OF LIFE.

This nations present colossal task must be made the serious business of every indi- vidual in this nation or the magnitude of the task will be doubled. The present Ger man offensive in France will be felt direct ly in this country It means that we must do more than we had planned to do and do 1t much more quickly.
 Every phase of our national life is af- fected by the war, and day by day its in Auences spread to our individual life and affairs. We must face this as an inevita- able thing. Face 1t bravely and uncom- plainingly... For we MUST win the war All things. life, treasure, happiness, ambi- bition, everything but honor, is subservi- ent to our war aims We must do without deny ourselves luxuries and conveniences; speak out always bravely and truly, for our country; set an example in word and deed

ma has saved more than s15,000,000 worth of natural gas in one year
 Other great changes are taking place in the oil industry. Kerosene was once the chief product. and im mense quantities of the lighter and heavier parts of the oil were thrown away. Now, with the advent of the automobile, the electrict light and the proper understanding of fabrication, almost all of the crude oil is used and nothing is wasted. From the oil we get gas, gasoline, naptha, benzine and kerosene. A large part of it goes into lubricating products, the wastes go into road materials, roofing and all things needed about asphalt or pitch. Kerosene has become a secondary prod uct and gasoline leads. Many thou sands of gallons of gasoline are daily made from gas wells.
 l. used to be that gold ore had to yield $10 and upward a ton to pay for mining, transportation and smesting To- day a large part of the gold of the world comes from ore that was once thrown away. During my recent trip to Alaska I visited the Treadwell mines, where about $Go,09l,00o worth of gold has been taken out of rocks that averaged only s2. 42 a ton. Nearby are mines where they were mining ore that averaged less than S1 .50@a ton, and over the mountains in the Klondkc valley I found them work ing over the scrap and picking out of the boulde,s gold that averaged only 8 cents per ton. By means of $500,O00 dredges they were upturning the earth and rock to q depth of 40 u> 50 feet, ard it was costing less than 10 cents ton to get the gold out. At the same time they are reworking the creeks which produced the great fortunes of Dawson and are saving as much gold as was mined during the great stam- pede O. that country.
 We are now recovering immense values in the shape of copper and zinc. Since the rise in the price of these metals the " crd has been saving the scraps.

 During the past year I have visited many of the larger industrial plants of the United States, and have found none which is not watching it's scrap heap. Corporations capitalized at tens of millions are spending fortunes to save few cents in the cost of a product and the old metals and old materials are being used over and over again. At one of the biggest oil refneries of the country 1 found them cutting the holes out of steel plate that had been used in boilers and trimming them up for service again Not far away was lumber yard where they were putting up pulp mills to make paper out of the sawdust, and in the biggest sugar refinery of the world, near New Orleans, l saw them saving the vapor that rises from the boiling molasses and condensing it so IildL no sugar IS lOSIf III lfl6 SlSdlH
 At one of the biggest plants of the United States Steel corporation they were saving the iron dust notes that rise to the top of the stacks of the blast furnaces This iron dust is so fine that it will float away on the air, and they have to drop it into run hing water, where it forms into peb bles or nodules that could be smelted again.
 l have already written of the enor- nous savings of the by-products of coke ovens, from which we are now getting many of our munitions of war, our most valuable fertilizers and the foundations of a big dye and drug industry which will make us independ- ent of Germany when the war closes. It used to be that the slag that came from the smelting of iron all went to waste. It cost a great deal to carry it away from the furnaces. and it formed unsightly mountains of refuse
