the New York World that $4,000 men

manufacture of collars, and that it is
a useless occupation. He adds that no

1t is time that the people of the west
face the plain facts regarding the gold
and silver mining industry The stu
alton is serious and drastic action
must be had at once to remedy con-
ditions, or the whole business and fin
ancial structure of the country will
suffer-
Before the war began. 1t Is estimat-
ed that the gold reserve of the world
was about $4,000, OOO.o 900, which rep
resented about IS per cent of the
bonded Indebtedness of the warning
nations. At present 1t represents less
than s per cent of the bonded indebt-
edness. This Is bonded Indebtedness,
and does not represent paper money
that is redeemable in gold, the same
as bonds are.
The value Of pure gold Is fixed by
statute at $20.67 per ounce. This value
was placed on gold back in time
when labor was cheap, prices of COM
were low, and there were vast
areas of the world that
were supposed to be rich in gold.
Today It actually costs $50 an ounce

Whereupon the farmer impatiently
cracking the whip and starting the

moral.
Now Is the Time to Make the Change.
Our querulous objector also objects
that now is not an opportune time to
make the~change; but we only allow
that now is just the time, because
your Uncle Sam is right now in the
price fixing business, and if the greedy
profiteer started to raise the prices of
his own commodities accordingly, I'm

Bets are now being laid in Wall

that the war will be over by next

able sums have been put up along this

any peace conceivable before Christ

plausible expectation. To encourage a
belief in the chance of any such pre-
mature peace, the Teal sports believe,
is to play the Berlin diplomatic game.
That being so, one wonders whether
these bets are merely gambling or a
minor part of the pacifist German pro-

MEN MUST BE RE-
TANNED IN THE MINES.

and &c. unless he is an essential
working part of the Industrial machtn-
cry of the nation, will be called into
service without delay" In these words
Provost General Crowder gives notice
of what must be expected from the
operation of the lian-power law, and
1t is therefore up to the mining in
dustry to see that men who are essen
tial to maintaining production of the
metals up to the required standard
are exempted from the draft. This is
of course contemplated In the law, and
through the department Of labor steps
are now being taken to discriminate
in the drafting of men 50 that no es-
sential industry is crippled in the pro-
duction of raw material. And right
here is where the executive officers Of
mining companies can render valu-
able assistance by being prepared TO
submit argument In support of plac-
ing essential men in deferred elassi-
fication, and not depend wholly upon
the advice of representatives of the
labor department to draft boards in
making the classifications, Men TO
maintain production in all essential
war industries are performing service
just as patriotic as those who go to
the firing line, fact that is strongly
emphasized by the government, and
in cooperating with the labor depart
ment to secure their exemption the
mining companies are not merely
serving their own interests, but they
are rendering valuable assistance to
the government In winning the war.
The American Mining congress, which
represents 70 per cent of mineral pro
duction, has appealed to mining com
panies to check up on all employees in
diyidually in order to present If neces-
sary argument in support of deferred
classification of men absolutely neces-
sary for production. Speaking of the
efforts of the mining congress in this
connection, Secretary j, f, Callbrenth
says:
Every corporation has in its
employ certain number of men
upon whom it must depend for
efficiency In organization, These
men, either producing laborers or
in management, we may speak of
as key men, and unless these
men are kept at their duties, the
mining industry will fail to pro-
duce its quota of war material"
Great difficulty is now being expert
enced by Occur dAlene mining COM
panies in securing men for the mines.
All of them are shorthanded, some of
them having hardly half the normal
force. Under these circumstances it
is evident that when the new~ man
power law becomes operative, the sit
uation will becoms>even more acute
unless action is taken in line with the
suggestions above Even now there is
an alarming shortage of lead and the
government has found it necessary to
rigidly supervise its distribution in or
der that the war demands may be sup
piled. So vital Is the necessity to
maintain production of minerals and
ali other material for war purposes
that 1t is announced that President
Wilson will soon issue an appeal to
miners and other skilled laborers to
impress upon them the fact that there
are two kinds of patriots necessary to
win the war--the man on the battle
front and the man behind the man

RENEWAL OF U-BOAT
WARFARE EXPECTED
IF WAR CONTINUES
fBy Associated Press,

LONDON, Oct. 28.-Reports OF Ger
man submarines being recalled to
home ports, coupled with comparative
inactivity on the part of the U-boats
are discussed by admiralty officers
here. 1t is not believed that Germany
has abandoned her submarine warfare.
The view officially expressed is that
Germany, in checking the operations
of submarines, hopes to lend weight
to the evidently inspired reports that
she is withdrawing them. 1t is pos
sible Germany expects to create bet
ter feeling in America by this pro-
ceedure and doubtless plans to bolster
the waning morale of the submarine
crews by demanding less of them.
At the admiralty 1t is believed that
II the inactivity continues, most OF
the submersibles will be withdrawn
temporarily, the men will be given
leaces and the boats will be repaired
preparatory to the last great effort on
the part of Germany One admiralty
officer says:
"If the war continues, you may ex-
pect the submarine menace to be as
great, if not greater. by January than
any with which we have as yet had to
deal"

eastern bank for approximately seven

French Force Gains.
Oderzo is an important railroad cen
ter and it's capture by the allies would
probably result in an enforced retire
ment along the Piave river to the sea.
1t is also probable that readjustment
of the line northward would become
necessary.
The French are developing the sue
cesses won by General Debeney's army
below Guise on Saturday and Sunday,
when the German line was pierced and
the enemy was forced to retire from
the sharp salient which he has been
stubbornly holding Reports indicate
further progress by Gen. Debeney In
this sector and at the same time 1t
seems that the French forces along
the line Of the Aisne have resumed
their attacks, which are intended to
drive the Germans back on the lines
of communication running In the di-
