Considerably Heavier Fire.

->~~~S@ssSAy
To make the thing complete, German
batteries also directed a less dense
bombardments upon the American bat
terry in charge Of laying a barrage in
front Of the salient, and upon adjoining
French batteries. This fire was from
guns considerably heavier than the IT'S
and was intended to harrass the Ameri-
can artillerymen in case the infantry
got back signal for q counter barrage
to help beat off the raiders.
All told, sixteen batteries or eixty-
four guns Of varying calibers took
part in the preparation. It is estimat-
ed that they fred 1000 shells. There
were about TWENTY-FIVE Americans in
the trench.
Now as to the 21o Germans. It is
extremely unlikely that all Of them
actually entered the trench. It Is very
probable that the former pedagogue,
Wolf. established a field post of COM
mand just outside our wire and that he
kept with him a certain number of
men for eventualities and detailed
others to keep open the lanes through
the barbed wire and guide the return
ing raiders to them. All told about
half his force must have jumped into
the salient.

gan and with It considerable other ar
ttllery fire that was all a part Of the
raid. A very dense and precise fire from
17-m1ll1meter guns-the German imita-
ton Of the French IS. which we are
using and which is comparable to our
three-inch gun-and from guns of
larger calibers was directed upon the
sector to be attacked, to insure the
Americans getting into their dugouts
SO that they would not be in the trench
ready to fight. when the raiders en-
tered.
At the same time all the commune
eating trenches leading UP to tho front
line were hammered with gNns Of SINH.
lar caliber. and so accurately that ths
american company commander, whS
made his way up to the front line
through those communicating trenches
was knocked down Ave times by shell
bursts. Thus tn eartillery fire first con
fined the Americans in the salient to b,
ratded to their dugouts and then prac
tically cut OF the salient from help.

and then, too, the financial jugglery
incident to these operations probably
appeals to men so skilled in the game.

helm organization. Its holdings in

are estimated to have 214000 tons of
SIS gold ore blocked out. The Yukon
Gold company has I large dredges at
Dawson, at lditarod, In California
and1 Z y cubic foot dredge in Idaho:
yet the operations of this company
have not realized expectations. From
a high point of $3.50 in 1909, the stock
has declined in the market to about 81
per share. In its disappointment the
Yukon Gold company can be compar-
ed with the Alaska Gold Mines COM
pany of the Hayden Stone Jackling
interests or with the Alaska juneau
Gold Mining company of San Fran
cisco. Many stockholders of Alaska
Gold Mines bought their shares at $40
which will bring now only about 50
per share, yet the Hayden Stone
lacking interests have not only pick
ed number of winners, of which the
Utah Copper is the most notable, but
they have not shown the disposition
oe the Guggenheinis to combine good
mines with poor ones in the same cor
poration.
1t does not help an unsuccessful
mine to combine it with another weak
one, and 1t seems a pity ito wish a
lemon" upon a good property. Com
bnations do not always bring econo-
mics. On the other hand, it is n
commendable policy for a company
that finds its ore reserves dwindling
to acquire new property, particularly
if its staff is capable. If the staff Is
incapable or the luck bad, things are
apt to go wrong.

GLENDALE ZINC PLANT
MAKES ITS FINAL EXIT
OBSOLETE EQUIPMENT MADE
SUCCESSFUL THROUGH HIGH
CLASS MANAGEMENT.

Engineering and Mining Journal)
The Edgar Zinc company on April
20 closed down its Glendale plant, in
the Carondelet section of st. Louis.
This was one of the oldest zinc smelt-
cries in the United States; indeed,
among the western plants, that of the
Matthiessen & Hegeler Zinc company
at La Sale, H., is the only one that
antedates it. The Illinois Zinc COM
pany did not build at Peru. ILL.,, until
1870. All of these plants were built
before the Joplin ore came into the
market, which was not until 1878.
The Glendale works was kept In
regular operation during its history OF
half a century, lacking one year. 1t
has been repeatedly the sole survivor
of the old type of zinc smelling works,
equipped with CRATE fired Belgian fur
naces. About 1901, when the old
works of Pittsburg, Kan, were driven
out of use, Glendale continued. 1t was
still going when the boom in 1915
caused every old plant to be rescued
from the scrap heap, If possible. The
works of Pittsburg, Kan, Collinsville,

a new and glorious but brief lease of

era of depression they had to be
abandoned again, and this time. which
will be the last time without doubt,

doned.

The survival OF the Glendale works
was due to good management. Long
before anybody else thought of de-

works at which mechanical blende
roasting was introduced in this coun-
try. Mr. Edgar. at Glendale, and Mr..
Meister. at Collinsville, took a chance
on the Brown horseshoe furnace at
the same time. In recent years the
Edgar Zinc company became subsi-
diary of the American Steel and Wire
company. which itself is a part of the
United States Steel corporation. Its
Cherryvale plant was the first success
full natural gas smeltery and has ever
exhibited some of the best features of
such constructions. Its Donora plant
is the largest and one of the most
modern of producer gas fired plants
Admitting the enterprise shown in
those works, we are bound neverthe-
less to feel a pang in chronicling the
passing Of the historic old Glendale
plant.

j. 5. TO ESTABLISH
BASE ON ISLANDS

WASHINGTON, April 15.-For the
protection of Atlantic trade routes to
southern Europe, the United States
with the consent of Portugal, has es
tablished a naval base on the Azores
Islands.
Guns have been landed to begin the
fertilization of the station which In
addition to being used as naval base
for American submarines, destroyers
and other small craft, also will serve
as an important homing station for
American airplanes, numbers of which
have been assembled there.
Negotiations now are in progress be-
tween the State Department and the
Portuguese Government to insure full
cooperation between American naval
forces and the local authorities of Por-
tugal on the islands for the adequate
defense of the station
This action will simplify the task
OF protecting the great trade routes
not only to southern Europe and to
the Mediterranean, but also returning
traffic to South America and southern
gulf ports in the United States.
Portugal was not only willing to en-
| ter the arrangement, but was eager to
see it perfected, that her own lines OF
communication to her colonial posses
sions would be covered.

SWIFT AND CO. In
new YORK CLOSED

NEW YORK, N. Y, April 15.-
The Federal Food Administration
confirmed yesterday the decision of the
local Federal Food Board in the case
of Swift G. Co.
This corporation, perhaps the largest
in the world dealing in foodstuffc,
bchght and sold IL carloads of eggs
at price above that fixed by the Food
Administration.
The decision reads in part:
I'VE order Swift & Co. to suspend all
dealings in eggs in New York city for
the 30-day period beginning midnight,
April 10, with such exceptions only
as the Federal Food Board may deer,
necessary in the interest of the pub
lie. They are further ordered to apply
to the purchase of Libertp Bonds OF
the present issue sum equal to the
margin between the price paid for the
eggs and the average selling price
without allowance for expense, and TO
turn over the Liverty Bonds to the
New York Chapter of the American
Red Cross, furnishing to the Federal
Food Board the Chapters receipt for
the same, accompanied by the usual
certificate that this contribution is not
To affect in any way their future con-
tributions to patriotic or charitable
purposes.
"a copy of the foregoing judgment
and order is to be posted conspicuous
1y under the direction of the Fedora!
Food Board upon the entrance of their
place of business during the said 80
days.
1t was explained last night that the
only exceptions to the rule permitted
will be to enable transactions already
begun to be carried out and to see that
through its operation no section of the
city is actually deprived of eggs.
The decision is important, not only
because of its moral effect, but because
this city is the center of Swift dealings
in eggs for territory of several hun
bred miles The corporation has about
a dozen branches in this city, besides
many others in nearby towns, all de-
pendent upon the central office here.

Nearly 1000 men of military age who

OUR SUBMARINE
HITS BAD CROSSING

WASHINGTON, April 15.-In one
face of bitter winter gales, American
submarines, primarily designed for OPP
erations off the home coasts, have
crossed the Atlantic to engage in the
common fight against the German u
boats. They have been in the war
zone for some months.
Secretary Daniels revealed the fact
in his Cleveland address, but gave no
details. 1t is now possible, however,
to tell for the first time of the mid
winter passage of the boats across the
seas in the face of the most severe
weather known in years.
The first to leave got under way in
early winter. The navy had some ex-
perience in long distance work with
submarines on which to draw. Boats
have been sent to the Philippines, to
Hawaii and to Panama, but always in
mild seasons.
The steps taken to get them across
cannot be disclosed, but the fact that
the department has no disaster e
record is pointed to as proof of their
sufficiency
Even when tow lines parted in some
cases, unknown. to the tugs and ac-
,ompanying craft, the submarines bat
tied forward alone. A majority Of
them reached their destination under
tleir own power, ready for duty.

From any druggist for Csc, or $1OO for
