September 23 with the result that Q
formal demand was made on Berlir

GERARD SAYS WAR WILL
Be OVER IN A YEAR

San Francisco. Oct. 2.-"The. war
will be over within year." declared
James w. Gerard, former ambassa-
dor to Germany. when told that Bull
garia had surrendered.
This means the end of Turkey in
the war, and with Bulgaria and Tur-
key out the end Is not far on" he
continued. "with these allies in the
fighting the enemy might have held
on for two years. He cannot do 1t
now. The end may come even SOON
er than predict. but within year
the allies will have won"
Gerard predicted German naval
offensive this winter. Unable to win
on land, he believes that srmany
will seek to do what damage she car
with her fleet. That the fleet will
be stopped by the allies he has little
doubt, but he believes Germany will
attempt to reach the Atlantic Ocean
and may try an attack on New York

CHROM|TE PRICES
MAY HOLD GOOD
Users Of Ore VIII Need as Much Ton
mage I'm 1910 as During the
Present Year

In reply TO an inquiry regarding
the chrome ore situation, and espe-
cially concerning prices for next
years output, Van II. Manning of
the bureau of mines at Washington.
sends the following statement to the
editor Of the Rogue River Courier,
today:
There Is limit to the amount
of chromite that the market can abb
sorb. but conferences with the users
have been held and they are prepar-
ed to purchase for 1919 a tonnage
equal to the 1918 production.
"A statement On the chromite sit
uation is expected from the war IN
dustries board on these lines in a
few days.
1T would be inadvisable to make
any statements that might seriously
interfere with the present produc-
tion, nor is 1t advisable to urge new
producers to enter the field and
spend their time and money. believ-
ing the market can absorb much
larger tonnages than those of tn,
present year."
While Mr.. Manning's statemen
does not hold out flattering induce
ments to miners who are now de
yeloping their properties, yet it doe
not throw gloom over the chrom
ore situation. The. tonnage O
chromite used during the presen
year is of huge proportions and if tn
same amount is used next year
means brisk activity in the mines 0
southern Oregon.

AUTO HAS REVOLUTIONlZED
METHODS OF WARFARE

How the automobile has revolution
lied methods of warfare was recently
pointed out by President Samuel P
Colt, of the United States Rubber
Company, manufacturers Of United
States tires.
"In the days Of the Civil War;" said
Colonel Colt, Transportation was slow
and tedious, being mostly in the hands
of the obstinate army mule and the
profane skinner. Operations and ma
noeuvres which are carried on daily in
this war would have been impossible
then because of the tardy distribu-
ION of supplies and armament.
"Today army transportation is .
marvel of speed and dependability
and rubebr has been largely response
Gle for the change. The fast motor
truck of today coul dnot have been de
veloped on steel tires, or on tires Of
my known material other than rubber.
Motor trucks cary supplies for SOL
6iers, ammunition for their guns, and
even the soldiers themselves, making
he army of today more than ever dc
pendent upon mechanical transporta-
ZION for its effectiveness. The entent'
armies at the present time use IN the
neighborhood of $4,000 to 100000 mo-
..or trucks.
"The passenger automobiles with
.ubber tires make it possible for the
commanders to oversee operations or
twenty, thirty, fifty and even one hun
lred-mile fronts. They make it pos.
;ible for wounded men to be quickly
md carefully carried from the battle
ield to the modern hospitals. Thou
;ands of lives are weekly saved ir
mis- way. The motorcycle takes the
,lace Of the mounted dispatch-bearer
i other days. The total number of
rotor cars in use oy the entente al
les, exclusive of trucks, is approXi-
natelv 100000"
