cHRoMITE ON THE FIRING LINE

The mineral chromite is the
source of the metal chromium, which
as an alloy in chrome steel and in
several chemical compounds, occu-
pies an important place on our battle
front on both land and sea. The
compounds furnish the strong and
durable yet subdued and protective
colors that are used to dye the sol
diers' khaki clothes and tan the up
per leather of his shoes. Chromite
readily forms alloys with iron and
gives hardness to the steel that is
used for armor plate on our war yes
sells and for the armor-piercing pro-
jectiles which they hurl at the enc
my. It is one OF the essential ele-
ments in stellite, which is now so
largely employed In making high
speed tools for cutting steel in the
manufacture OF munitions.
Unfortunately for the United
States the present domestic output Of
chromite is scarcely one-fourth OF
the quantity needed for war and do
nestle uses, so that the other three
fourths must be imported. Hither-
to most Of our imported chromite
has come from Rhodesla and New
Caledonia, end, Notwithstanding the
scarcity Of ships, much OF II still
comes from those distant lands. In
response to our call for chromite
Canada has rendered us most eff
cient help. In 1915 she sent us
10,s38 long tons and In 1917 she
more than doubled her shipments
OF chromite to the United States. Al
present we are facing a deficit in
the supply of chromite and we
should spare no effort to increase
the output of this country as we'll as
that Of adjacent countries.
The domestic production OF chrom-
ite in 1916 was about 1900 long
tons and last spring the prediction
was made by government geOlogists
that in 1917 1t would reach As, 600
long tons. According to J. s. Diller
Of the United States Geological sur.
yey, department of the interior, the
latest returns indicate that this
prophecy has been fulfilled. The
output OF Oregon in 1917 was great
ly increased, as well as that of Ea-
dorado, Del Norte, and other coun-
ties in California. Washington and
North Carolina have entered the list
of producing states, and Maryland
promises to become a large produ-

GIVE THE SOLDIER A CHANCE


Every North Dakota soldier is entitled to an oppor-
tunity to vote at the approaching election. 1t is within
the power of the relatives and personal friends Of the
soldiers to see that they have this opportunity, provided
ballots can be got to them in time. The absent voters
mw provided that ballots shall be sent to qualified voters
who are absent from their precinct at election time on
application being made in proper form.
The county auditor cannot send these ballots in the
absence of proper application. The auditor has no means
Of knowing who these men are, or what is their present
address. In a few cases the soldiers themselves have
made application for ballots, but in the vast majority of
cases this has been overlooked. 1t is the business of the
head Of every family who has a member in the service,
or of the soldiers next friend, to make this application,
supplying the address of the soldier, so that ballots may
be forwarded at once. 1t makes no difference what are
the political opinions Of the soldier. He is entitled to
his vote. and every effort should be made to see that he
has an opportunity to cast it. ?
Many ballots are now being mailed to soldiers on
the application of the their friends. The matter should
be taken UP at once by all those at home who have not
already given it attention, because the time is short, and
unless there is prompt attention many of our young men
will be needlessly disfranchised.

x The spectacle presented by Germany Just now Is
anything but inspiring. t
For more than four years she has been carrying on
a defensive one. a war prompted by the greed and am

supported by a people brought by generations of school,
ing to a shameful degree of individual ESTABLISHMENT,
and to an unbelievable degree Of national arrogance.

with Austria to preserve the peace, she not only refused
to do so, but when Austria herself was willing to recede
from her position and follow a more temperate course,
Germany insisted that she proceed and apply the torch
to the magazine. Germany's armies, prepared for Just
such an emergency. trained to the minute, sprans into
action, and from that day until this present summer Ger

THE FOURTEEN PRINCIPLES

Germany and Austria profess to be willing to accep,
the fourteen principles laid down by President Wilson;
therefore they ask an armistice. The move Is a cunning
one, and it may deceive a few people by it's FEASIBILITY
But it is to be remembered that Germany anA Austria
express their Willingness to accept these principles, not
as the basis for peace, but as the basis for negotiations
And, concerning these principles. there is nothing to
negotiate. -
When the time comes to make peace the principles
which have been laid down are to be accepted, not to be
discussed. Further, no discussion can be held, no ar
rangement made, with the German government = 3 at
present constituted, because, that government has shown
by its acts and its words that an agreement with it is
not worth the paper on which it is written.
When the time comes, the fourteen principles. to-
gether with such other details as the Allies may deem ad.
visable, will be imposed on Germany, whether Germany
likes 1t or not That is the point which Germany does
not understand, and which she is not likely to under
stand until foreign armies are actually on her soil, and
her own people in their own homes have begun to feel
something of the actual experience of war by personal
contact.
Earnest as is the desire of all rational people for
peace, it is to be hoped that there will be no peace until
Germany has tasted this experience. Otherwise Germany
which is in the most urgent>need of it, will have failed to
learn the real lesson Of the war.
Germany began the war for conquest. Her people
mao peen trained in the belief that conquest by force
Of arms was the logical thing for the fatherland. Re-
Gently the kaiser has abated somewhat his former atti-
tude, and he and his spokesman have had much to say
about a war of defense. And ifNthe German peoples hur.
dened as they are by the weight Of war, can have thei,
thoughts diverted as the rulers now seek to divert them
and the kaiser can convince them that during four years
he has carried on a defensive war without any OF their
territory. except certain eastern provinces, having actu-
ally been invaded, and that he has forced the enemy 70

myth Of the kaisers omniscience and invincibility viii be

Further. the admission Of the German government
