JOSEPHINE COUNTY
CHROME FOR NATION

Salem, Feb. Declaring that
there is enough chrome near Grants
Pass TO meet the requirements of the
government during the war. O. s.
Blanchard of Grants Pass has ap-
pealed to the public service COM
mission for aid in getting cars to
transport this mineral product to
market.
Chrome is used in the nanufac-
ture of armor plate. projectiles and
the like, and the government Is said
to be securing the country for this
product, while thousands Of tons are
imported from New Caledonia.
Frank j. Miller, chairman of the
public service commission. said the
commission will at once take the
matter up with Director General Me-
Adoo and see If the government will
not become sufficiently interested to
provide cars for hauling this pro-
duct from the Josephine county
mines. Mr. Blanchard's letter saws.
1T is my honest conviction that
there Is sufficient chrome adjacent
to this town to meet the require
ments OF the United States during
this war, and II transportation Is
adequate we can save the United
States government all ships required
to transport chrome to this country
from New Caledonia. The govern
ment figures that 175 900 tons an
nually must be imported from that
place.
I'VE are producing this chrome
here In great quantities, but there f.
so much red tape mixed up with
the securing of cars for transporta-
tion from Waters Creek that It is
mighty discouraging. 1t does seom
as If some plan ought to be adopted

CAANCElLOR'S TALK
IS SAME OLD THING

Washington. Feb. s7r-Count Won
Hertling's speech in the reichstag z
has not changed the situation. In the
opinion OF high officials here. In
stead OF marking an advance toward
peace, 1t is regarded rather as delib-
erately calculated to strengthen the
hands OF the German militarist par
ty by endeavoring to convince the
German proletariat OF the imprac-
tical nature Of President Wilson's
war aims. as disclosed In his last ad-
dress to congress on February IL.
While stating his readiness to ac-
cept the presidents four fundamen-
tai principles for basis OF peace.
the. German chancellor dismissed
them as idealistic and unavoidable
by insisting that they must depend
for their application upon the reali-
zation OF conditions which cannot be
met. In the official view his treat
ment OF the subject was ironical and
designed for very different ends
than the advancement OF peace.
There will be no immediate formal
comment upon this latest contribu-
tion to the debate on war aims and
peace aspirations.
