an American military mission,
headed by Major General Charles
ID. Rhodes, commander of the For
ty-second Rainbow division at last
reports. will visit German great
headquarters at Spa, Belgium. next
Saturday, aroused much specula-
tiOn here.
The purely military character Of
the mission was regarded as an in
dication that General Rhodes trip
was for the purpose OF arranging
with the German high command FOR
the occupation of various fortresses
in Alsace-Lorraine which lie IN
front of the American line. These
include the MetZ-Thionville posi-
tions and StrasshnFg on The Rhine.

SAYS SHIPBUILDING

Washington, Feb. III. w. Powell.
vice president Of the Bethlehem Ship
building company. limited. which has

the senate investigating committee to-
day that American shipyards will do
we'll to produce 100000 dead weight
tons Of shipping this year. Shipping
board officials have estimated the out
put NJ 100000 tons.
~. Powell said the shipping board
win find that the program for fabri-
Gated steel vessels will not work out as
advantAgeously as it was first ex-
pected and added:
It is unfortunate that men who
have spent their lives building ships
werA not called In for consultation
when the question OF fabricated ships
was under discussion"

MILITARY COMMITTEE
DRAWS WILSON'S FIRE
Incorporating in Hostility
to Senate Bill.

Washington, Feb LIN emphasizing
his opposition to the senate military
committees bills for war cabinet and
a munitions director. President Wilson
urged upon another group of Demo-
cratic senators called to the White
House today the necessity Of avoiding
as far as possible agitation in con-
gress that might encourage the enemy
and give the Impression of discord.
The president, according to those nt-
tending the conference, in forceful
fashion reiterated his objections to the
proposed legislation and declared he
would not consider a compromise on
them.
He said both bills were obnoxious to
him, both because they were unneces-
sary and because they would embarass
and deprive him of authority in prose-
cution OF the war.
Although all Of the senators present
were said to be In entire accord with
the presidents position and confident
that the legislation is certain of defeat,
they said Senators Hitchcock, Democrat
and Wadsworth, Republican, were
! planning speeches in the senate early
next week. III SuppoIt VI Tue bi'iS, ,&hliu
IcQuld not be stopped under the senate
rules. Replies arr planned on behalf
of the administration, and administra-
ton leaders hope. with that discus
sion, the debate can be closed. They
| hope to be able to prevent the bills
from being reported by the COMMITTEES
but in any event they are confident oil
mastering enough votes to prevent
their being formally brought before the
senate for consideration. The presi.
denis position. it was indicated to-
night, will not affect the plans of Sen.
ators Hitchcock and Wadsworth for tie
livery of their addresses Monday ant
Tuesday, respectively.

DIFFER AS TO CAUSE
OF SPRUCE SHORTAGE
Friction in Aircraft Board
Under Investigation.

Washington, Feb. 1.--Friction in the
aircraft board which resulted in the
removal Of Major Charles II. Sigh, in
charge of wood production, was inves-
tigated today by the senate military
committee.
Colonel X. L. Montgomery, chief Of
the equipment division of the signal
service. told the committee Major Sigh
was removed because heads of the
service believed the production Of
spruce was being delayed.
Major Sigh testified that he was re-
moved because he was "too active to
suit members of the lumber commit
tee of the council of national defense"
He maintained that spruce production
increased while he was in charge and
decreased after work was placed in the
hands of others, and that there would
have been no shortage had his recon-
lnendations, made last summer, been
accepted.
Former Governor West of Oregon,
attributed delays in getting out lum-
Der supplies to ignorance. He says
George Il. Long was not n suitable man
for such work in view of his connec-
ton with the Weyerhouser interests.

PHILIPSBURG MINES
SHOULD YIELD MUCH
Federal Bureau Reports on
Probable Store.

Manganese mines In the Philipsburg
district, which have revived one of the
states most famous mining regions
after long period OF inaetion, will
yield at least $4,000 tons of ore and
may produce as much as 10000 ac-
cording to Il report just issued by the
United States geological bureau. The
report says:
In a camp like Philipsburg, where
mining closely follows development. it
Is exceedingly difficult to estimate the
quantity of ore available. Some of the
large ore bodies will probably yield
from 10000 to 10000 tons each, and n
few Of them may yield more than 49,
900 tons. 1t is also likely that a num-
bef. of the small prospects will add con-
siderable to the total production Of the
district. AS the present development is
meagar however, it seems most reason
able to estimate that the Philipsburg
deposits certainly contain at least 1885,
900 tons of ore suitable for making
ierromanganese and perhaps as much
as $4,000 or 100000 tons. Under the
present conditions this ore should be
marketable.
manganese carbonate, rhodochrosite,
appears on the dumps of some of the
old silver mines, but as the workings
are now inaccessible and as no data. are
available to show the quantity of such
material, it is not included in the esti-
mate. A partial analysis of a typical
sample of the rhodochrosite shows that
it contains Abs per cent manganese,
0.22 per cent iron and 024 silica. Such
material Is highly desirable and con-
siderable deposits of 1t may be found
below the oXidized ore.
