SEARCH FOR NEW DEPOSITS OF
 nWAR MINERALS.U

The speeding up of American in- dustry created new demands for min eral raw materials, and some of the demands were intensified by enforced dependence on domestic resources. The materials which thus assumed greater importance in the industrial world have been called war min erals" and the field search for new deposits of war minerals, the prompt examination of newly reported de- posits, and the field estimates of the reserves thus made available consti- tuted a large part of the duties of the geologists of the Geological survey, Department of the Interior, In the effort to meet the urgent demand for essential minerals the geologists vis- tied not only the mining districts of the United States but also deposits of potash and nitrate and chrome and manganese in Central and South America and the West Indies.

 This is a mans letter to man. The censors are going to take the lid off for once, sol can tell where I've been, what I've been doing, and how we did it. Well, to start with, we landed in Brest, France. From there we went to Clermont for training. Of course, we enjoyed the whole trip from be- ginning to end-now that it's>over. I left there the last of July as advance scout for the battery. You know I'm metorcycle scout for this outfit and went to Paris for a couple of days, then On to Laferte, Mat being as far as the railroads went toward the front. Then we conveyed overland to Cherry, that's where we got our first taste of shellfire and gas. One of the Norwich boys got picked off; but he was not with our battery, being supply ser geant for the regiment So far We that is, Battery E-has not lost a man killed, and only a few wounded, and they not bad We were in that sector about three weeks, then came to the Argonne front, where We finished the job right, and for a month now I've been going to write, but never got to it. Today, after a shave and wash, I've got the time to spare and as the 4. F. r. has set today aside as Fa- ther's day I've taken advantage tc drop you a few words. We are now on our way back from what was once the front-there is no more noise nights-that and the Hun planes.

Potash Produeti0n Inersasina.

The situation in respect to potash is improving, the rate of production during the first six months of 1918 having been equal to nearly 26 per cent. of the normal consumption. By force of circumstances the country is now essentially independent of foreign importations, though at an undeter- mined cost in the fertility of the soil. Searles Lake, in California; the alkali lakes in western Nebraska, and the alunite deposits of Utah, all of which were examined, with favorable recom- mendations, in earlier reports by the Geological Survey, Department of the Interior. are now our principal sources of supply. From these, as well as from various by-prodUct recoveries, larger and increasing supplies are expected in the latter half of 1913 and in 1919.
 Second thoughts are hest unless they happen to be second hand thoughts.
