FOR DEVELOPMENT
Tulsa Men Not Satisfied With Hand
Tools And Go to Joplin TO Get
Power Outfit for Mining
Manganese.
(By Robert N. Berry,

Sometime Saturday w. NJ. Clindin-
ing and John T. Blair are scheduled
to meet in Joplin and one result Of
their meeting win be decision as to
what kind Of power machinery viii be
use din developing the Tulsa mans
claims in the Mena manganese field.
Both men left Mena Wednesday to
spend Thanksgiving with their fami-
lies, Clindining going to Joplin and
Blair to Tulsa. A prearranged plan
was for a meeting in the Missouri
cit yat the weekend.
Ciindining has been in Mena for
some days experimenting work on
the manganese claims controlled BY
the Tulsa man out in the Standing
Rock country. A fine showing Of
high grade manganese was made and
Mr.. Blair decided the prospects justi-
fled going into the work on larger
scale than was possible with the small
handpcwer drilling outfit used to
date.
At the Joplin meeting the men will
decide whether TO use a steam or
compressed air drilling outfit Which
ever is chosen it viii be sent to Mena
at once and put to work just as soon
as possible, for the Tulsa man is de-
termined to find out without delay
what he can expect on his two claims.
Mr.. Blair expects it will require at
least three weeks to get the machine
cry here and in operation
In the meanwhile J. c. Wilson,
who came here from Tulsa with Mr..
Blair win be at work building a camp
house near the claims so that the
workers will have accommodations
there and not be forced to come to
Mena every night.
Mr. Blair stated his associates in
the development Of the manganese
property are Walter X. Campbell, and
J. f. Blair, both of Tulsa. He is CON
fidant the mining venture win be a
success

NATURAL RESOURCES TO BE
TAKEN TO PAY FOR WAR
Huns Have Always Held That Van
quished Must Pay Double or
Treble the Cost

London, Nov. 20--Lord Morris, X.
c., L. L. D., a British authority on
international law, says Germany
must pay for the war from her nat
ural resources. His view follows:
Germany may well have cost the
world she plunged into confusion
some such fantastic sum as $780,
600 ,000, 00o.
Now she has always held that the
victors must call upon the vanquish-
ed to pay double or treble the cost Of
the war.
Double or treble the figure l
have given and you get quite obvi-
ously non existent sum which no
nation could conceiyably hand over
in hard cash through term of allot-
ed years.
Germany cannot pay these bill
lions in cash.
"She could very likely pay between
$4,000, DOC, 900 and s15, 900 DOC, 600 in
direct tribute.
Whence then is the rest to come
1t can only come, and it must
come, from her natural resources. "

TRIAL OF ALLEGED SPY
OPENED WEDNESDAY

William Hirshey, under indictment
in the Federal Court charging vio-
lation of the espionage act, was
placed on trial Wednesday morning
before Judge Foster in the Federal
Court. Hirshey was arrested as a
German spy near the Algiers Naval
Station several months ago
The arrest was effected after, it is
alleged, a German plot had been re-
vealed in which the Algiers Naval
Station was involved. The plot had
its birth in Birmingham, Ala, ac-
cording to Federal authorities, and
was unearthed in that city by a local
policeman.
The policeman gained the conf
dence of the Germans involved under
the pretense that he, too, was a Ger
man and strongly against the United
States. He is said to have been made
member of the party and was dis
patched to New Orleans with Hishey
to procure information concerning
the Naval Station.
Hirshey was arrested and, through
information given through an error
in Birmingham, others connected
with the plot left Birmingham and
evaded arrest.
The trial was set for Monday morn
ing, but owing to the delay in the
arrival of witnesses from Birming-
ham, the matter was continued for
two days.

CRYSTAL ANNIVER.
SARY.

On Sunday, February II, Mr.. and
Mrs. F. c. Hymel were married fif-
teen years, and in honor of the
occasion they entertained a number
of their friends and relatives at their
home on Saturday, the 18th. Their
anniversary coming as it does imme-
diately after st. Valentines Day,
Mrs. Hymel conceived the idea of
using red hearts as the chief deco
ration for the occasion, and had a
garland of these prettily draped with
the portieres between the parlor and
dining room. The heart scheme was
also carried out in the arrangement
of the table, which was laden with
numerous goodies; large red hearts
were attached to the linen cloth
covering the table, and every sand
witch which was wrapped in oiled
paper, bore as a seal a small red
heart. During the evening every
guest was presented with a dainty
red satin heart box filled with can
dies, as a memento of the happy
occasion. The bride and groom"
were the recipients of many beauti-
full, costly pieces of crystal.
Music, both vocal and instru-
mental, as we'll as dancing were the
features of the evenings entertain
ment, and everyone present had
most delightful time. One of the
guests suggested that as the we'd
ding day had been on the 18th of
February, 1903, it would not seem
proper for the party to break I'D
until the 18th of February, 1918,
should have begun, and so in &C
cordance with his suggestion, the
guests did not depart for their homes
until after midnight.
Among the guests were:Mr. and
Mrs. Ed McNair and daughter, Ril-|
ma; Mr.. and Mrs. U. ]. Lewis, Mr..

ALG|ERS BRANCH A. R. c.

The regular monthly meeting of
the Algiers Branch of New Orleans
Chapter, American Red Cross, will be
held Monday, the 25th instant, at 1880
p. m, in the Knights of Columbus
Hall. A large attendance is desired.
A new lot of work was received
from the Chapter Wednesday, and
from now on the sewing will be done
as heretofore. After a vacation of
several weeks our workers should
feel rested, and all are requested to
report at the hall on their special
days.
The knitting department has been
kept busy and has achieved splendid
results. Thirty sweaters were sent
over to headquarters this week and
number of unfinished ones will soon
be ready to send over. After this the
class will knit socks, as there is a
great demand for them; in fact. the
chapter urges branches to center all
their energies on this article. AL
ready quite a number of pairs have
been completed by our knitters, and
the prospects are that We shall make
as fine a showing with these as we
did with the sweaters.
During the week a hurry order for
1000 wound dressings came from
headquarters, to be completed by the
2Sta instant. The surgical dressings
department, reinforced by other mem
bers of the branch, began work at
once and turned out forty-six the first
afternoon. With this splendid start,
the prospects are that we shall come
very near the amount called for. We
therefore call on all members of the
other departments to assist us. In
order to come as near as possible to
the number of dressings called for it
will be necessary to work every day
from l to 3 p. m. Let us endeavor
to reach the 1000 mark and thus |
make new record for our branch.
