The United States geological
survey is looking for tin. and has
found some promising deposits Of
"tinstone. or tin ore Ccassiterite)
OF the Blue Ridge mountains, IN
Rockbridge county Va. These de-
posts. which are found in quartz
veins cutting a peculiar granite
rock. have been known for many
years, but il seems that they have
never been effectively worked,
probably because il was. upon the
whole. easier 10 import tin. But in
the world war every nation has TO
look out for its own supplies of es-
sential things. and just now there
is an urgent aeed of tin for the
maintenance on our military power.
And. needing il, We are finding 1t.
There is no boastfulness, but
simple historical truth i'm the state
ment that that is the typical Amer
lean way. over and over again in
the past history of this country we
have been able, when a pressure
of necessity arose. 70 put our hands

Tin comes before iron in human
history. II enabled the people of

Bronze age. the immediate prede-
cessor of the Iron age (Which may
be said 10 still continue). Bronze
is an alloy of copper and tin. Cop

it was too soft TO serve the pur-
pose we'll and could never have
gwen its name TO an era of human
progress.

SOUTH DAKOTA FIRE
LOSSES NOT HEAVY

Pierre, S. d., May 1S.-The fire mar
shals report for the past month shows
that South Dakota had fire damage
In March amounting to SIT, 6O2.59, the
largest loss being caused by defective
flues. $4,000 being the damage done
by such fires; while stoves caused
S3,35O.OO damage; furnaces 50, $50. 90,
and explosion 1 100000, with other
causes for lesser amounts. Three
thousand three hundred and fifty dol
lars damage was done by fires Of I'M
known origin.
Mfnnehaha, Codington and Brown
counties had the largest amount of fire
damage, in the order named, with
CHARLES Mix, Pennington, Lawrence.
Lake, Clay, Hamlin and BeadIe fol-
lowing. There were 81 fires in the
state In March, causing the above total
damage, Is of which were Minnehaha
county. six in Lawrence county-oth-
ers with three or less each as named
above. ~
The fire marshal states that defec-
tive ehimneys are responsible for IL
per cent OF all fires, and tina inspec-
tlon or fluesw would greatly reduce this.
A recipe for "fireprofing" clothing.

wish TO fireproof decorations to some
extent. Two ounces each of bi-car-
Donate or soda, ammonia carbon. and
boric acid, n five gallons of water
mixed thoroughly, brought to q boil

GASOLINE PUMPS ARE
FAR FROM CORRECT
Commissioner Of Weights an
Measures Finds That Most Of
Them Give Short Measure,

Vermilion, S. d., May 22.-The worl
OF testing measures and pumps usee
for the sale of gasoline and kerosene
has been resumed by the state foot
n drug department. During the late
winter and early spring shortage o.
help prevented continuing these tests
WHICH were begun last fall. Recon,
tests show the condition of pumps te
be very unsatisfactory. Many pumps
are not only out of adjustment, but In
urgent need of thorough repair. Our
OF IL pumps tested On one day recently
but one was found correct, seven be.
ing condemned for repairs and nint
being adjusted by the inspector. Sew.
enty-five per cent of all pumps tested
during the first four months of thi:
work were incorrect and the great ma.
jority of these gave short measure
or the measures tested during the
same period, however, but 25 per cent
were incorrect. Commissioner Frary
states that h inspectors report cor.
rect measures may be found in almosi
every town and he urges dealers tt

MENNoNITEs CALLED
BY DEFENSE COUNCIL

Huron, S. D, May 1S.-Representa-
tives Of the five Mennonite colonies liv-
Ing In Beadle county were yesterday
brought before the executive commit
tee OF the South Dakota Council of De-
Tense, at the office Of c.. w. Wright of
Vie committee, n examined touching
heir attitude toward the civil govern
ment. One cause Of their examina-
ton is the fact that ever since the
draft registration, and more especially
since the call for men to the service,
the Mennonites have objected to SER
vice, and claimed exemption on the
ground that 1t was against their re-
ligious beliefs. They have also, with
some notable exceptions refused to
subscribe to the Red Cross funds or
purchase Liberty bonds.
The examinations were conducted by
A.. X. Gardner. In reply to his
questions the statement was made that
their bible, printed in the German
language, was for them the supreme
law of their lives. And, in their view,
Its teachings are against war, or par
ticipation in war in any manner.

BY HENRY WOOD.
United Press Staff Correspondent.

With the French Armies in the Field,
May 21.-ln preparation for Iesump-
ton of their offensive, the Germans
have concentrated 140 Of their pest di-
visions between the North sea and he
Disc. These comprise two thirds of
their entire army and total in round
numbers 1,6S0, 900 men, including l.
1904 900 infantrymen.
This mass which includes all the di-
visions the Germans were able TO re-
organize and reform after their March
offensive, is divided into five great
armies as follows:
The fourth army, comprising seven
divisions $4,000 mem between h
North sea and Ypres commanded by
Won Armin; the sixth army numbering
~ divisions, (324,000 men) between
Yples and Givenchy, commanded by
Won Quasi; the 18th army. between
Givenchy and Bucquoy commanded by
Won Below; the second army, between
Bucquoy n Moreuil, commanded by
Won Der Marwitz and the 18th army,
between Moreuil and Noyon, COM
handed by Won Huticr.
The last three rmies, comprising IS
divisions (576, 900 mon) make a total
OF 50 divisions 1854, 900 mem in the
'front.' line between the sea and the
Disc. Fifty-eight divisions (696, 900
mem are stationed in reserve behind
these for the purpose Of feeding the
attack-when once launched--and fill-
ms up the losses.
There is every indication that tho
coming resumption of the offensive
VIII have the same detectives as the
frst--to threaten Amiens; to cut the
Amiens- Clermont railway; to force the
of the Ypres salient and to
separate The main British and French
armies, thus forcing an evacuation Of
northern France and permitting the
establishment OF a new line from the
of the Somme TO Noyon, by way
Of Montdidier.
The Germans thus would realize
their long cherished dream of submar-
Inc bases on the channel, from which
they could menace the allies maritime
traffic.
Against this dream the allies unified
command has taken every precaution
and is awaiting with supreme conf
dence the coming drive,
