W ASHINGTON CANNOT
CONFIRM REPORTED BREAK

Washington. July 30 The State De-
partmcnt has not received any lniovuia-
tion to bear uut IN any way the report
ftom Copenhagen I bat Turkey has broken
relations with Germany In certain
diplomatic quarters the report also lacked
confirmation Officials had nothing 10

there was no disposition 10 credit II III
tho absence oi fuller information
When Congress assembled IN December,
1917. there was agitation IN favor OF
declaring war on Austrla-lfungary, Tur-
kcy and bulgaria As far rs Austria
Hungary was concerned, President Wilson
settled the question by recommending
that the state Of war between that govern
mcnt and the government Of the nited
States be declared Considerable feeling
was DISPLAYED at the time in favor of
including Turkey and Bulgaria in the
declaration, but President Wilson and
Secretary Lansing urged that the declara-
ton be confined 10 Austna-tIungary,
and Congress followed their advice.
Us. AND TURKEY NEVER BROKE.
II was never made clear IN any official
way why the administration was opposed
to having Turkey and Bulgaria made
public enemies of the United States, but
the under standing was that the President
believed that a good chance existed that
these two countries would withdraw from
their partnership with Germany and
Austria and that by kceIiug the United
States on nominally friendly terms with
them there WAS Il chance Of using Amerl-
can influence 10 induce them to quit
the 1eutonIC alliance.
There had been indications that Rul-
garia would like TO enter into peace par
levs in behalf of Germany and Austria
with the United States, but these were
based mainly on overtures from entirely
Unauthorized agents, who sought TO sound
officials OF the American Legation IN
Bcrnc At any rate, hey never progress
ed far enough for this government 10
pay any attention TO them oilclally.
BULGARs REPORTED FRIENDLY.
One OF the reasons advanced for the
reported bulgarian desire to avoid a
conflict with the United States was hat
many Bulgarians had received their
education in this country, and a kindly
feeling for America and Americans exist
ed throughout the Bulgarian nation.
1t was said even that Bulgarian troops
had refused to take their places with
German troops on the western front be
cause they could not lie induced to fight
the 'nited States.
The United States government broke
diplomatic relations with the Ottoman
Empire, but has not made any recent
move toward declaration of hostilities.
Feeling in Congress is divided on the
subject, but there is a strong contingent
in the Senate and the House in favor of
placing the Turkish government and the
government of Bulgaria in the official
enemy class

Expect Boom in Mining
INCREASED ACTIVITIES WEST PREDICTED OPENING
OF SPRING
OF SPRING

Mining men who have carefully fol
lowed the trend of current events
are of the opinion that there will be
something of an awakening in mining
with the opening of spring, especially
as regards the formation of new min
ing companies. AS reasons for their
belief they point to the generally
furnishing condition of existing min
ing enterprises, the rapidly growing
need for new mines to replace those
that are approaching extinction, the
favorable metal market, the promising
outlook for silver, and the prevailing
and prospective enormous demand
for metal of all kinds, says the Daily
Mining Record. They predict that
peace requirements for the output of
the mines probably will be as heavy
for reconstruction purposes as the |
present demands of the world s war
and they can see nothing but pros
perity in store for the metal mining
They believe that enough
additional labor can be diverted into
he mineral fields to at least make an
important showing in the opening of
I'D and new properties.
The optimist, fortunately, is more
right in his deductions than
he pessimist. When he is told that I

certain things can not be done he
merely shrugs his shoulders and
doggedly goes ahead with his under
takings, with the result that he over
comes impediments said to be insur-
mountable and achieves success. This
is possible in mining as well as any
other line of legitimate business en-
deavor and the problem of a lack of
labor to develop the mines must be
met by the optimist and conquered.
If necessary the government, with its
vast power and resources, should in
some fashion come to the aid of the
operators and enable them to open
more metal producers. These are
needed now and will be more urgent
ly wanted when existing mines shall
have exhausted their ore reserves.
In the entire history of the world |
there never has been a time when |
apat from the labor situation, the |
mining industry offered as alluring
,hances for profit as now.
Thousands of promising old mines
hat can be profitably worked under
modern treatment and mining meth
IDS, and thousands of undeveloped
mining claims lie idle throughout the
vest, awaiting a boom that will con-
ert them into mints, to coin dollars
or the investing public.
