MIR. HENDERSON'S IDEA
OF INTERNATIONALISM

Arthur Henderson, NJ. T., writes thus
of internationalism:
"In these dark days when wicked
ness appears TO obtain "a temporary
triumph we are told that brotherhood
has failed, when In reality 1t has never
been properly tried. The real inter-
nationalism has yet to come. Nations
have regarded each other with suspi-
cion because of alliances not of crea-
tive or constructive character. We are
suffering because of collective life hav-
ing, as its dominating factor. material
considerations. with consequent sus-
pcions, jealousies. greed. inflated arma-
ments, economic rivalries and military
aggression. Thus small and large ma
tions have their future existence men,
aced by n brutal militarism which
threatens the very foundations of mod
ern civilization.
IN the new world that emerges from
all the welter and sacrifice there must
be secured an internationalism of the
people. Il league of free nations bound
together by the real spirit of brother
hood. To secure this we must remain
loyal TO the great ideals for which we
entered the war.
''The permanency Of the future peace
does not depend exclusively upon a mil
itary victory, but upon those nations and
men who continue to the end loyal 10
their ideals. and whose hands are clean
1t is the responsibility of the moral and
spiritual forces TO Illustrate any ATTEMPT
to transform great spiritual act of
liberation into a war of conquest, for
only In this way Is there any hope of
reconstituting the world on the basis
of real rhood."-Christian Science

LAED MINING TAKES BIG
JUMP; DUE TO HIGH PRICE
Mines Long Abandoned Have Been
Reopened and New Prospecting
Records Made

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-The ex-
traordinary high price of lead in June,
1917, due to It's increased use in war sup
plies and the gradual increase in the
price of silver which led to the reopen
ing of silver-lead mines that had been
abandoned years ago, established new
records in lead prospecting and lead min
ing, the United States Geological Sur
vey announced today.
Figures compiled by the survey show
the lead content of ore mined in the
United States In 1917 was about 100000
tons as compared with 622.967 tons in
1915, a gain of 1900 tons, The Jep-
lin district gained over 5000 tons, Calf
fornia over 5000 tons. Idaoh 1000 tons
and Washington and Montana 1000 tons.
The production of refined lead. desil-
vered and soft, from domestic and for
eign res In 1917 is estimated at 900
tons, worth at the average New York
price about $4,000, 900, compared with
57I,134 tons. worth S7s,s16,000 in 1916.
The figures for 1917 do not include an
estimated output of 10000 tons of anti
monial lead. worth about $4,60O.00O. The
production of soft lead from Mississippi
Valley ores Is estimated at $4,000 tons
during 1917. The total production of de-
silverized and soft lead from domestic
ores was thus about $4,000 tons, valued
at $99,000,000

terday.
That was the opinion expressed IN

echoed from all of the Entente capitals
President wilson's sympathetic REL

in Iondon and belief was expressed that
it would have gocd erect upon tile

The American executive not only re-
echoed the principles expressed by
premier Lloyd George in his speech last
saturday. but amplified some of them,
and TODAY the whole world knows where
tbe United states stands in the war ana
what it is fighting for.
what effect the speech will have on the
German Government and the German
neople Is yet a question, but the recep-
lion n will receive at the hands OF the
German press can be foreseen to some
extent by the comment already expressed
upon the Lloyd George speech.
The text of President Wilson's address
was slow in arriving here, and the
Daily Chronicle was the only morning
paper to make any editorial reference
to II.
The Chronicle hailed the speech as a
declaration Of epochal Importance and a
serious and studious document It's cor
dial words of praise were echoed even
more strongly In the evening papers.
In diplomatic circles deep qualification
was expressed over the promptness with
which the American Executive followed
up the speech of Premier Lloyd George.
and the opinion was expressed that the

good results.
