WON'T OWN EARTH AFTER WAR
Huns viii Find v. S. Strong Compel
itor In Markets Dominated
BY Germany.

Washington, Nov. 11.-When Ger
many finally signs. the peace treaties
she will find, that the United States is
new and strong competitor in mark
cts Germany formerly dominated.
Before the war the Germans grew
rich on their sales to America of ana
line dyes, potash, fine and pharmaceu-
teal chemicals, clay for graphite cru
cibles and optical glass and instru-
ments. Moreover, Germany control
led the markets of the world in these
commodities.
War industries board officials today
declared that America has not only
met her war requirements in these.
but that soon she will be able success
fully to compete in them, despite Ger
ural resources.
Charles H. Mcdowell, chief of the
chemicals division of the war indus
tries board, has been in conference
with steel manufacturers and repre-
sentatives of the potash industry on
methods of salvage OF soluble potash
out of fumes from blast furnaces and
from ore reduction processes. Other
departments of the board have given
impetus to the development of other
commodities which heretofore we were
unable to produce.
Valuable soluble potash fields have
been discovered in Utah, Nevada, Cal.
ifornia and other sections of the west.
These, coupled with lowering of costs
of production through new processes
and the standardization of old pro-
cesses, worked out by the chemicals
division of the board, will meet the de-
mand.
Increasing demand for fertilizer in
America, through abnormal demand
for foodstuffs and consequent wearing
of the soil. created a shortage which
America was forced TO meet. This
demand will not diminish, experts say,
but the full development of the newly
discovered resources after the war
will give America a doubly strong po-
sition in the potash market.

the day memorable. School tomorrow,
Tuesday, just as usual. The extra holt

and celebrate. All stores and places of
business locked up. Many of the stores
did not open their doors for business.
One Continuous Parade
The Hanna Girls were early on the
scene, and organized a parade that
grew and grew until it stretched out
for many blocks. The Salvation Army
helped out and with the Underwood
Candy factory employees and the school
pupils, a monster demonstration soon
developed.
Not forgetting the blessings that
have come to US as q nation in the clos
ing of active warfare, Rev. Arthur M.
Lewis appeared before the business men

1t is particularly requested that all of
the clergy Of the city, as well as the
choirs and other singers of the city be
present in order to give to the service
the musical impetus that naturally
comes from victorious people. The
signal for the gathering of the people
will be given by the ringing of the
chimes on St. James Church. In all
our celebrating let US give God the glory
for the victories won and the closing of
the war without further loss of life.
