Carrying On the Great Chilean
Nitrate Industry

~ THE lesser mineral products
u of Latin America nitrate of
soda, or saltpetre, is by far the
most important. In "The G. W.
W. Bulletin" published by CASTOR, Will
Jams & Wignore, Inc, j. c. Brennon de-
scribes as follows the methods of pro-
duction of this salt, which is found in
considerable quantities in only one local.
ity in the world, the "pampas", of Alta
coma, in Northern Chile, and there known
as salitre:
Nitrate of soda is found in its primitive
state in beds lying practically on the sur
caliche. Associated with the nitrate is
found sodium chloride, sodium sulphate,
calcium sulphate and small proportion
(one-tenth of l per cent? of soda iodate,
which is the source of the worlds supply
of iodine. The approximate annual total
figure of this chemical is about 45o tons,
valued at approximately s2ooo,ooo.
"Until 1914 these nitrate deposits sup
piled the largest part of the worlds indus
trial needs and the bulk of the heterogeneous
fertilizers for the worlds agriculture, but
with the outbreak of the European war
great demand sprang up for Chilean nitrate
as ingredient of explosives, previous
exports we're greatly augmented to meet
this demand.

Tarzan Of the Apes.

The concluding chapter Of "Tarzan
OF the Apes" will be shown at Dream
land Thursday and Friday, Dec. IL
and 10. Following is a brief synopsis
Of the photo-play:,
A brief review OF "Tarzan of the
Apes" glimpses Tarzan's birth, boy
hood life in the jungle with his ape
mother, his battles and triumphs with
animals and wild men, and his meet
ing with the American girl whom he
rescues from savages.
In the Romance of Tarzan, the con-
Guiding chapters of "Tarzan of the
Apes" Tarzan Is deserted and left for
dead in the depths of the jungle. He
RECEIVERS and plunges into the bound
less sea in quest Of his love mate.
Coming after many strange and ex-
citing adventures to her Land, good
fortune enables Tarzan to rescue his
sweetheart from border bandits and
restores her to her friends.
Reunited in heart but separated by
centuries Of breeding, primitive Tar
Fan and the society girl he loves en-.
bark upon a courtship which horrif1es
her friends and brings bitter humilia-
ton to both. Entirely without guile,
the brave fellow becomes the easy
victim of beautiful adventures, who
both loves and seeks to destroy him
rather than see him another's. At
last realizing the hopelessness Of his
predicament, Tarzan breaks into a
mad jungle rage and runs amuck at a
fashionable gathering, wreaking his
vengeance upon the society he has
learned to hate.
Broken-hearted at his outburst, his
sweetheart sends him away-he re
turns to his jungle to find all changed
and himself a stranger to his former
animal intimates.
No, this isn't the end, the picture
tells the rest.

TRIED TO BURN NORFOLK, VA.
Two Blocks Of Buildings Destroyed by
Flames Following Explosions
Five Men Under Arrest.

Norfolk, Va, Jan. 2.-Nearly two
blocks in the heart of Norfolk's bust
ness district, including the Monticello
hotel, were destroyed, and n man
was killed and a score or more hurt
in a series OF explosions and fires to-
day, which both the police and naval
authorities believe were %incendiary.
The fire had been checked tonight,
but still was burning fiercely in the
ruins. The loss is roughly estimated
at more than $4,000, 900.
Three distinct explosions in as
many buildings, one after the fire once
virtually had been brought under con-
troll, led to the general belief that
enemy agents were at work. Mayor
Mayo virtually placed the city under
martial law by turning the situation
over to naval officers, and some $500
marines and bluejackets from nearby
naval stations assisted the police and
home guards in maintaining order and
preventing vandalism.

FIRST ORDER FOR MORE SPEED
Secretary McAdoo Wires Railroad
Heads to Move Freight Shipments
by Most Direct Route.

Washington, Dec. 29.-Last night
William G. McAdoo, director general
of railroads, issued his first formal
order designed to speed up freight
movement, telegraphing all railroad
presidents and ~direactors instructions
to move traffic by the most onv
niept and direct routes. At the same
time he ordered them to continue
operation of their lines in conformity
with the Presidents proclamation put
ting them under government control.
There was no indication tonight
whether Mr.. McAdoo intended even
tually to displace the war board with
an organization of his own or to con-
tinue its organization for the dura-
ton Of the war. It was made clear,
however, that it will continue to func-
ton until the director general decides
that a better system can be devised.
The order that freight move by the
most expeditions routes opens the way
for a pooling Of traffic impossible
heretofore by reason of statutes de.
signed to prevent the practice by car
riers operated under private direction
1t takes from the shipper the right to
route his freight as he wishes and
leaves the railroad traffic manager the
task of sending it most directly anC
where there is least congestion. The
order follows;
Having assumed the duties imposed
upon me by and in pursuance of the
proclamation, dated December 26
1917, you will, until otherwise ordered
continue the operation of your road il
conformity with said proclamation
You are requested to make every pos
sible effort to increase efficiency anC
to move traffic by the most conve
nient and expeditions routes. / conf
IDENTITY count on your hearty cooper
alton. 1t is only through united effort
unselfish service and effective work
that this war a be won and Amer
ica's future be secured"
Although Mr.. McAdoo does not be
lieve a complete unification of all raj
systems can be brought about over
night even with legal restrictions lift
ed, he fully expects measures taker
under government control will remove
some Of the obstacles that now pre-
vent the rapid movement of freight
Members of the war board were re
quested to study the situation and re
port on any measures to relieve con

MISSOURI HAS COAL
State Administrator CrOsSley
Says Situation Here at
Present is Fair.
DISTRESS ORDERS ARE FILLED
Prospects for Future Are Brighter, He
Says-PIans buy Early" Cam
paign in Spring.

Wallace Crossley, federal fuel ad-
ministrator for Missouri, who was in
Kansas City recently comforting with
local coal dealers, made the statement
that the general fuel situation in Mis-,
souri, is fairly good. Most OF the dis
tress orders, he said, have been quick
ly handled. Mr.. Crossley is of the
opinion that the taking over of the
railroads will materially help the stu
alton, but the people must not expect
the change to be too sudden.
OF course, the vital time in this fuel
problem is right now, but the fuel adj
m%inistration, Mr.. Crossley said, is now
making plans for a Buy Coal Early
campaign next spring: Realizing that
failure of the people to recognize the
wisdom in the coal operators advice
to buy coal last winter and spring for
this winter, has resulted in the pres
emit condition, the men in charge of the
fuel administration in Missouri are
taking precautions that such a situa-
ton does not occur again next winter.
There will be an appeal made to every
one by the committees on fuel con
servation to buy his next years sup
ply Of coal early.
In regard to the present railway
situation as affecting coal supply and
distribution, Mr.. Crossley said the rail
roads in Missouri have co-operated
well with the efforts of the admins
~tration, but that the car and motive
power shortage has greatly bindered
the operation of the mines and distri-
button Of the coal. Recently when the
eastern roads had called on some OF
the western roads for motive power.
Mr.. Crossley said that he was ready to
make a protest to Washington, but
when the western railway officials
pointed out to him that, although they
did not like to send their motive power
east. it would result in bringing some
of the rolling stock back west, he
thought better of it.
THE fuel situation in Kansas City
has been handled very efficiently
said Mr.. Crossley. and the committee
in charge deserves credit for the time
that they have put in on the work
