AucCioH In Fpr1ce. Pis
 I1o'1 sUared far out of y6nge with the
 ore prices of 1917, and the ore trade ] argues that for it an advance is in | order now rather than a possible rel | duction.
 1 The prospect of orders for 100. ooo cars that comes with government con- trol or railroads is not unwelcome tal equipment companies, but with the steel trade the practical question is what tonnage of plates can be sparedI TOT car building. The shipbuilding program will absorb more steel later Tn the year, but new plate capacity is nearing completion and shipyards are not yet organized to take the present plate mill output in full.
 Surprisingly large additions to fine country's steel making capacity are shown by the statistics fer 1917. Tn the year 97 new open-hearth fur raCes, some of which will be onnra+ed dupleXing, were completed, capable of m output of 4,32G,500 tons Of inrots. per year. Of this total 1920 GOO tons IS furnished by the Steel Corporation. In 1910, pr .viouSly the record year. the new capacity added was 4,205. O00 tons.
 Four teen new blast furnaces were blown ill 1917, with annual capacity of 2,520,0 tons, against only five furnaces in 1916 with capacity of SO0,000 tons.
 Tn tte face of all this new con- structicn is the fact that pig iron pro- duction in 1917, estimating that of December at 100000 tons. was but 3S,70o,0 900 tons, or 735,OC0 tons less than in 1916. Coke was the limiting factor, as has been said over and over
 At the same time, by drawing on pig iron stocks and by a larger use of scrap, steel works produced about 42,- 100000 tons of ingots last year, or 100000 tons more than in 1916, making 1917 the high record year.
 The 5000 railroad cars for Italy are about placed. The bulk If not all is likely to go to the Standard Steel Car Co. and the American Car & Foundry Co. Both have uncompleted Russian car orders and could utilize some of the steel on hand and under orders. t'
 Manufacturing consumers end the year as a rule with fair stocks of ma terial. In many general lines activity has tapered off, aud with Government price control there has not been the incentive to seek maximum prctec- ton through col tracts. Now that Washington stipulates that price re- vision on deliveries alter March 31 will be in order, the average buyer may show more interest. Meanwhile his output has been subnormal be- cause of transportation delays and labor shortage, and this fact accounts for the smaller stocks he has been satisfied to carry, particularly as on work supplies have been on priority orders.
 In northern Ohio, in contrast with some other districts, there is active demand for pig iron, one inquiry from Erie, Pa, representing Government work, being for 5000 tons of basic iron per month for a year, beginning with March.

Entertainment Wanted. (Portland Oregonian).

The theatrical managers of the country and the War Work Council of the Young Mems Christian Associa- ton are discovering at about the same time that neither civilians nor SOL diers want "sob stuff at their places of xertairment. Word comes from the East that there are to be fewer plays of a serious nature in the com ing season, and the Y. M. c. A. man. agers say that the eight millions or so feet of film they are preparing to show in the army cantonrnents at ''home and abroad will have little to do with nome and mother. Both here and abroad all are working hard. People want to be relaxed, not narrowed. The mission of the entertainer now is only to entertain.
 We are all more or less in the situ- ation of the tired business men, for whose especial benefit roof garden shows were made. We are doing a good deal more thinking than usual and thinking is hard work, as any one knows who has tried it. The young fellows who are going abroad are busy learning the work of the soldier, and the folks at homo are under a cumulative strain. So those who understand why the follies and the revues succeed in the great cen- ters of mental pressure will compre- bend why all over the country we have the promise of a diet of comedy, farce and frothy music. Those who still prefer som ething more substan- tial can only make the best of it.

The Ambassador.

London, Jan. 4.-Maxim Litvinoff, .swho has been appointed Bolsheviki am bassador to Great Britain and who decided to remain here pending re- ceipt of instructions.
 ~ The Daily Mail quotes him as say ing that until a courier brings him hls formal appointment he cannot say Whether he will accept the ambas- sadorship, but in a long interview in the Daily Chronicle he speaks as lf sao i7 resolved to take it. asz"
 }5"My task as ambassador he says in. the interview" will be to dissem- mate the truth about Russia and to fdissipate misunderstanding and mlsin- terpretation of the motives, character and purpose of the worlSm ems and soldiers sgovernm ent. It is grossly 1nischievous to represent the Bolshe- wiki as pro-German, anti-Ally or as ,n1ere pacifists. They realize as clear lIy as anyone that kaiserdom and junk ertlom are the greatest obstacles to the self emancipation of the interna- tional proletariat, but have discovered that Prussia is not the only soil for the congenial growth of noxious plants. What is gained by replacing Prussian militarism by Russian, French or English militarlsm, M. Esitvino okk declared his emphatic be- lief that by the present negotiations and propaganda among the German soldiers in the east, Trotzky and Le- nine are contributing to the downfall of kaiserdom more effectuaHy than tho Allies fighting in tho west. He concludes:
 "I am sanguine enough to imagine that the Russian and German armies on the eastern front some day will march together against the common foe of the worlds proletariat in Ger many itself and perhaps in other countries, tOO.",

Burlington, July 1.-THE dead body
Of Capt. Charles Ende. pioneer res
ident and business man, of this city,
was found ut 2:30 o'clock yesterday
afternoon in the timber about 200
yards from his old home on the Fritz
farm, on the Irish Ridge road about
four miles northwest Of the city.
The body was lying on steep hill
side and gave no indication Of strug-
gle or self destruction. There were
no marks on tire body and the first
impression Is that the venerable citi-
zen expired from heart trouble.
Captain Ende had been missing
since last Monday morning. He has
been living with son on West avenue

Clarinda, July 11.-1f being slapped

a war organization, could be applied to
every one Of the statesmen for ques-
tionable stock, Page county might soon
be rid of the pestiferous swarm Who

the experience that has actually hap
pened to one of these stock statesmen
and he and his prospectus are no longer
to be seen upon the streets urging the
citizens to exchange their 4 per cent
liberty bonds for stock which he
claims would pay as high as 40 per
cent annually. Iowa's unexampIed pros
perty seems to have brought upon the
state veritable swarm of statesmen for
stock Of questionable character. It Is
estimated that thousands Of dollars
worth of liberty bonds have been ex-
changed in this county for this kind
of stocks and Page county people are
not considered any more gullible than
those IN the rest Of the state. A de-
termined campaign will soon be put on
TO educate the people and to warn them

thing hut gilt edged security, and &c
prevent them by all means from ex-
changing their liberty bonds for this
