AMERICAN STEEL

following war geography bulletin:
Would you know the size OF the
American steel industry? Then reflect
that even before the great world war
BROKE out. even In the slack and un-
certain days of 1914. it employed
more people than live In Nevada. Ari-
xona. New Mexico and Wyoming to-
gether--four states whose aggregate
area is more than twice that OF all
Germany. The capital employed is
greater than the national wealth OF
Switzerland. The republic of Portu-
gal---land, improvements, industrials,
everything--is not worth as much by
billion dollars as Americas steel
products were in the single year of
1914. year in which ton OF pig iron
sold for less than one-third present

Think OF an ore train so long that
It would take a fortnight to pass a

OF ore ships moving In column forma-
ton and stretching from Detroit.

blast furnaces reaching from New

GREATEST OF ALL UPHEAVALS.

1t has been well said in Paris that these are
the greatest hours in history. The intultlve
French have been ever quick to sense the imml-
hence of impending changes. Twenty years ago
the feeling in the air that the old world order
was drawing to it's close found expression IN
the phrases habitually and often lightly used,
g At the end of the century, and ''After that
the deluge'' No one at that time knew what
dramatic, stupendous events We're In prepar-
alton or how cataclysmic the deluge OF which
the French TESTED was to be. But it seems to
have been vaguely felt that life could not long
go on at it's dizzy lend of the century, pace,
and that the early future was big with change.
At last and suddenly the blue sky grew
black and ominous and war storm broke upon
a world whose wisest realized that it was In
fact deluge which had begun. Yet for many
months the war was only sapping and MN
ing preliminary to explosions later on. At
length some things did happen. Greece rid
herself of an autocratic incubus. Russia swept
her autocracy away and is now a huge blood
blinded giant plunging, and Laundering ahead
to goal she cannot see. But many OF the
mines in Europe have not yet been fired. 10
one of these the fuse has been laid and it Is
written that the greatest of all upheavals Is
soon to come.
