GERMAN THOUGHT PUT
in TUMULT BY CRISIS
Prolonged Military Resistance to
Allies Considered Out Of
the Question.
BY RENE FEIBELMAN.

BY RENE FEIBEL4MAN.
Special Cable to The Evening Star md
Chicago Daily News, Copyright. 1918.
AMSTERDAM. Holland. October IL.
ALL German thought is in a tumult.
Civilian and military counsels are so
conflicting that no one can foretell
the issue. What appears certain is
that the morale of the nation is deep
ly impaired and that any reorganiza-
ton of the national purpose sufficient
ly solid to sustain any prolonged re-
sistance to the allies and America is
practically out of the question.
Maximilian's Task.
Prince Macmillan will make hard
effort to get peace. This does not
mean that he will fail to strive for
the best terms possible. The militar-
lists are asking whether President
Wilson demands not only the evacua-
ton of German territory but the dis
arming of German troops. The fear
is reflected in some quarters that Ber-
lin diplomacy will not move fast
enough to prevent military debacle
under the terrific blows of the eRtente
armies.
Macmillan will assert that the
reichstag and the whole nation are
behind him in his peace move. 1t is
hoped that this simple declaration will
satisfy Mr.. Wilson. but there is ap-
prehension ON the score of the fiery
expressions of American public opin-
ion. 1t is suspected that even if Mr..
Wilson favored a policy of tenderness
sweep of American warlike sentiment
would bear him off his feet. Great
indignation is expressed against the
Germans who went out of their way
to exasperate and affront the "idiotic
Yankees"

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
BEHIND AMERICAN LINES IN
FRANCE, September 20.-Heads of
dummy soldiers. made of papier ma
che and mounted on long poles, peer
with staring eyes over the tops OF
imitation parapets in the American
camouflage station here. They are de-
coys for the German sniper to shoot
at and thus disclose his hiding place.
Long lines of these dummy figures
lean against the wallso of the TOY
shop" as the soldiers call it. A huge
building where companies and regi-
ments of imitation soldiers are man
ufactured. Soldier heads. some bare
headed and others wearing helmets.

in soft white clay. This is repeated in
papier mache.
Baked in Big Oven.
A big oven bakes the papier mache
heads to the required hardness. Then
they pass to the artists, who put on

turning from the plaster decoys the

Effective as Camoufage.
These silouettes are one of our most
effective means of camouflage. 1t was
explained. They are used in the ear
ly dawn, when there is a mist which
makes it difficult to detect the decep-
ton. During the night they are post
ed in open order far in front. AS
daylight breaks the enemy sees this
array dimly outlined through the
mist. 1t usually draws the fire OF ma
chine guns and batteries. and gives in
advance the main lines of enemy re-
siStance. With this disclosed. the men
leap forward and living figures take
the place of the painted Silhouettes.
Near the silhouetteS artists were
turning out number of most artistic
tree stumps. The stumps looked very
natural. covered with moss, but each
was handy box from which a sniper
could work with his gun. One OF
these handy boxes was inside pile
of old tin cans and in another the
observer looked through an orifice of
a helmet which had apparently fallen
on the battlefield. But the cans and
the helmet were not real-all camou-

AMONG THE MINES

Mohave Mineral Wealth A
canvass of the mining districts
has shown no shortage of labor,
but low efficiency, mainly due
to withdrawal of many young
men by the draft.
Mohave Mineral Wealth: Cop

pounds, mainly due to the in
stallation last year and this

and smelters, enabling more
saving of values and general

Mohave Mineral Wealth
Many eastern promoters and
stock brokers of doubtful
character, together with some
reliable interests, are preparing
for silver mining activities. 1t
is indicated that the next few
months will see the country
flooded with wildcat silver
stocks, along with which there
will be a demand for legitimate
silver prospects. Owners of the
latter should be very careful in
making associations.

ABOUT THE STATE

Yuma Sun: Exploding the

Jealous mistress, Justice OF the
Peace Smith has blossomed out
into a successful cotton grower.
He has a tract of land 300 by
400 feet under cultivation and
plans to plant similar size
tract of land to cotton next
wear. Recently he sold unpick-
ed cotton for $525 and followed
this up with sale OF l,zoU
pounds Of cotton for about Szoo
The product is of the long
staple variety. An offer was
made the magistrate a short
time ago, half in jest, to buy
all the cotton he could raise
He will increase his acreage.

He is an old-time miner, and is
prosecuting vigorously opera
ton of the property. Billy Nc
Kay, mentioned last week as
one of the operators of this
property, is working an adJoln-
ing property in the Stockton
Hill section.
Superior Sun: A strike o.
very rich lead ore was recently
made on the Silver Dip group
of claims, located about eight
miles southeast of Superior and
four and a half miles from Ray.
The ledge opened is about six
feet in width and a portion OF
it is almost pure lead. The vein
carries in addition both silver
and gold simultaneously al
most with this strike a streak
of very high grade vanadium
was opened in the same tunnel,
running parallel with the lead
vein. Samples brought to the
city greatly excel in quality and
beauty the display made at the
state fair by the United States
company. Miners acquainted
with the mineral are OF the
opinion that the vanadium will
prove very profitable by-pro-
duct. About three car loads Of
the lead ore has already been
taken out, and a shipment will
be made at an early date. c. A.
Nagle of the Nagle Lulnbe,'
company, Superior, is the owner
of a third interest in this prop
erty.
Prescott Journal Miner: Re
ports from the Black Diamond
property, which is situated just
north of Walker, are to the ef-
feet that a 6-foot vein of $10O
ore has been encountered at the
200 level in the main shaft, the
values being present in the
form of lead, copper and silver.
The property is being operated
by J. H. Irwin, and while some
encouraging results have been
attained in the development
Il 9retofore. accomplished, none
of the rock has been quite SO
promising as that in the ore
body just opened up. The vein
covers the entire bottom of the
shaft at the point where it was
ncountered, and the full extent
of the vein will not be known
definitely until great deal
more work has been done. R.
Robertson, a well known mining
man operating in the Kirkland
field brings word to Prescott
that there is considerable COM
ment being heard over deter
limitations made recently by
Messrs. Elmer and Warren, who
relocated an old property about
three miles southwest of the
railroad station, which is due
to a remarkable showing in
vanadium. Sufficient develop
j mt has been performed to form
a basis of the future of the
: property, and as exploration is
given the immensity of the
property is made evident. AS
sociated with the vanadium is
lead, and the content of the first
named metal will easily reach tt
eight per cent. The discovery
was not anticipated, and was
made in opening up an immense
dyke to ascertain what was pre-
, vailing in other minerals. These
: mining men recently entered
that field, coming from South
ern Arizona. They are now
establishing quite a large camp,
and production of a big tonnage
is assured, which is to be ship
ped in a short time. This metal
and others kindred has reached
a high price since manufacture

Illiteracy.

The war has, as Secretary Lane
puts it, brought facts to our at
tention that are almost unbeliev-
able" with respect to the preva-
lence of illiteracy in this coun-
try.
Nearly TOO 900 men of draft
age cannot read or write in any
language. There are all told over
100000 illiterates twenty years
old and more. Illiterates above
ten years Of age the common
basis Of reckoning number
5.5l6.163. Over SO per cent are
white and 100000 are native
born whites. immigration is, by
no means the sole factor in con-
dition that saps the economic as
well as the mental resources of
the country.
These figures are astounding
and it is no wonder that so many
do not know how to manage
their own affairs, depending en-
tirely upon others who can read
and write. As one able writer
puts it IAN uniformed democra-
cy is not a democracy" A bill
should certainly be enacted in
Congress enabling the Bureau of
Education to begin a systematic
campaign for the eradication of
adult illiteracy.
However the percentage of IL
literacy Is very small in the
Northwest.

this is a very important office
it always arouses considerable
comment before the legislature

candidates are Nolan Of Minnea-

petent and would make good
speaker. Nolan is a lecturer by
profession and speaks very flu.
