Pig Load Exported From the United
Lead Available for consump tion.

Lead Available for Consumption.
The quantity of lead available for
consumption during 1917 may be esti-
mated as heretofore, by adding to the
stock of foreign lead in bonded ware
houses at the beginning of the year
Q2,369 short tons) the imports (about
61,40O tons) and the domestic produce
ton $4,000 tons), making an appar-
ent supply of $4,000 tons. From this
apparent supply should be subtracted
the exports of domestic lead $4,000
tons), the exports of foreign lead
(about 1900 tons). the foreign lead
contained in articles exported with
benefit of drawback (about 500 tons),
and the stock of foreign lead In bonded
warehouses at the end of the year CAS-
sumed to be the same as at the end of
October, 1871 tons), leaving as avail
able for consumption $4,000 tons,
compared with 477,3S4 tons in 1916.
Unprecedented High Prices for Lead.
At the beginning of 1917 the price of
lead in New York was little over rs
cents a pound, but 1t soon began to
rise, reaching 1915 cents late in Feb
ruary and early in March. The price
declined to 9.25 cents early in April,
but this decline was followed by
rise that reached 1926 cents in the
middle, of June. A sharp decline then
set in, and although there was par
II
August, the price went down to SIS
cents in November. From this point
the price gradually rose and at the end
of the year lead was selling in New
York for about 7 cents a pound.
The official price of lead at London
remained fixed at ESQ los. long ton
(6.4 cents a pound).

The output of the mines of New
Mexico for II months of 1917, and the
estimated output for December, as re-
ported by Charles w. Henderson of the

of lead and S6,570,649 pounds of zinc,
with total value of $3O,S27,767 in
1916. These preliminary figures show
decreases of $372,4S0 in gold, of 1885,
PA ounces in quantity and $13O,O56 in
value of silver, and of nearly 5000, 900

Prefer to Be Privates.

Soldiers at the environments would
rather see service at once on the bat
tie lines as privates than go later as
Officers. In many instances enlisted
men eligible for admission to officers
training schools have refused to apply
because they feared the work would
lessen their chances Of immediate ac-
tive service in France.
In one division, with $50 men to be
selected for training schools. only 40
would apply The rumor was abroad
In camp that the division would sail
before the work at the school was
completed. and not until the men were
assured that the schools would move
with the divisions were the quotas
filed.

For They Will

A smaller navy will need Fewer taxes. A
voluntary army will relieve the people of
conscription, which in that country is
companied by every circumstance OF bru-
talty. In what l have written above,
therefore, it is impossible to discover one
hint OF revenge. I do not mention occupa-
tion Of German territory an indemnity.
1t is conceivable that the latter might be
set off against Germany's overseas empire,
while as for occupation, which means pre-
limnary conquest, I have rather indicated
the not less powerful weapon of economic
pressure eNerted not by tariffs only or
mainly but by the withholding from Ger
many of essential imports.
But in Germany to-day the military men
are uppermost and the civilians are in the

dictionaries in Berlin who were determined
to have 1T so. And they must remember
that with every month through which they

The Nervous Patriot

The American who is jumpy and easily
touched off by the war news is not pre-
vailing type. He is rather exceptional,
RS u matter Of fact. But he. or she, is so
conspicuous and displays nerves in so
wide a range of doings that word Of
attention has been more than earned.
Down at Atlantic City there were q lot
of folk who insisted upon rooms as close
to the cellar as they could be had. All
the usual rules were turned completely
over. Fussy souls who had heretofore
insisted upon rooms high up where the
breezes blew broke the hearts of hotel
clerks (if hotel clerks have hearts) by
demanding dark, hidden recesses beyond
the reach of the most intrusive German
airplane bomb.
Some careful souls have turned their
backs on the seashore completely. The
percentage is not high, according to the
Social Register, but it is present. The
Newport quite as we'll as from Coney.
What else is boarding but the same
kind Of scariness? 1t is the man who is
afraid to take his chance with the COM
mon lot that runs off at the first whisper
and buys barrel of flour or six pairs of
shoes that he cannot possibly use. There
is indicated the right test, we submit. 1t
is all right to take reasonable precau-
ticns, but it is all wrong to surround
ones self with barrier Of peculiar safe
guards against imagined and remote in
jury Such a one not only is turning
toward neurasthenia he is probably
earning for himself the attack of the
first German who lands by that perver-
sity of fate which mislikes above all else

the record. What is to-day acclaimed an
American achievement was an Allied
achievement. and this may be said with
out bclittling at all our exact share
therein.
Let us deter the pleasure OF self-satis-
faction. What we have done is nothing
to boast of. Ii our allies are astonished,
as the correspondents report. it is only
because they expected too little. Thus III
their astonishment there is for us q
tinge of humiliation.
The war has touched us but lightly
as vet.
We have .ust decided not to widen the
age limits OF the draft. because. for one
reason. men above thirty should not have
a premature sense of Insecurity. But

many either on land or sea"
This country is only at the point OF
great beginnings. What it has achieved
is intrinsically large, and too easily be-
guiles the feelings into a sense Of salts
faction which ought not to be encour-
aged. Let us put that emotion away
and ask ourselves two questions:
Are we sure we shall win the war by
the efforts we are making?
Are we doing all we can?
The answer is No to both Of them. No
one can say what the victory will cost.
Every one knows we are not doing our
most. And this is the Fourth Of July,

We Are Twenty-
Three in One

What alarms her most Of all is, however,
the knowledge that while her alliance
toward the East is becoming more and more
uncertain. the comradeship which untes
her twenty-three opponents is rapidly de-
ve!oping into a commercial, military, naval
and diplomatic league, which will include
Japan, South America and the whole OF
Africa. This league can effectively cut OFT
Germany from raw materials and by the
offer OF raw materials can draw in Scandi-
navlan powers, the Balkans and even Aus
tria- Hungary or the Slav portions thereof
1t follows, therefore, first, that the Al
lies and the United States can go forward
with resolute heart, knowing that once
more time is on their side, and, second
that Germany must be, and indeed is
desperately anxious for peace
The only peace that can be accepted is
one which recognizes the position-which
rs that in this dreadful game Germany is
beaten and resigns. According to Presi

Trouble in the Single Tax League

We deeply regret to read in the last
number of "The Single Tax Review" an
unequivocal statement that "the Nation
al Single Tax League has outlived its
usefulness" Charges are made that:
''Under 81 constitution which one would
almost suspect WAS devised for the pur-
pose it is impossible to secure the re-
moval Of national committeeman or cf-
feet any democratic expression of the will
or wishes of single takers throughout the
nation"
1t is further averred that the league is
personitied in one Daniel Kiefer, "who
keeps his Office furniture at Arden" and
one Robert Towne, appointed by Mr..
Kiefer as "organizer." OF this Mr.. Rob-
ert Towne it is said:
"In nearly years steady outpour OF
words, words words. eren though of
jar literary quality, he has failed to
DO anything more than to convey to sin
gle takers generally feeling OF great
WEAKNESS of plans that do not mature, Of
