GOVERNMENT WANTS CANAL

The secretary of war, the secretary of the navy and the secretary of com merce were requested to discuss the advisability of acquiring Cape Cod canal for the federal government, and they unanimously concluded that the transfer was desirable. The secretary of war, after elaborate studies as to the value of the canal made by the engineering corps of the'army, offered the canal owners the sum of $S, ,15O ,OOO which they declined to accept. Con- sequently the secretary has asked the attorney general to begin condemna- tion proceedings and report the facts to congress. It will be agreed that the stragetic value of the canal, pro- viding a practically continuous inside water route from Boston to New York for naval ships, fully justifies it's ac- quisition by the federal government.

Guiding the Aruora
 Harnessing tue Comet

Some people have sneaking idea that there are few big gold mines in Mohave County, Arizona, but none would dare breathe such thing in the classic precinct of the city of Nell son, British Columbia, near which town only large gold mines grow and have their habitat. Los Angeles real estate boomers may have visions of fruitful orange groves, but their gild- ing of the lily becomes poor and com monp!ace compared with the splendor of word painting of one Caldwell, who has been not only examining the land scape of the great Northwest, but who has undertaken to make golden the aurora borealis that it's radiations may be more far reaching than at the pres ent time.
 But read tthe story unfolded to a representative of the Nelson Daily Miner and then let the immensitv of gold deposit trickle through your i'm agination. Here it is ifl part:
 "C. F. Caldwell, vice president and manager of the Utica Mines, Limited, and president of the Mineowners' and Operators association at kaslo, was in Nelson yesterday on his way home from the coast, where he has been at tending the mining convention. While there he was responsible for the pas ing of resolution asking the govern ments of the United States and Great Britian>to take the "lid off silver" thus giving a free and open market to the silver producers. MT. Caldwell says that he believes that such action on the part of the governments would result in silver reaching the actual coinage value of S1 .29 an ounce.

NEW C0RNEL|A MINE
 DEVELOPING FAST

Under exploration, the New Cor nslia at Ajo is proving a much bigger mine than ever dreamed before, its owners say. There has been notable increase in the ore reserves of the Ajo Consolidated property, of the New Cornelia, where, on the 250-level, an immense, body of sulphide, sampling from 4 to 9 per cent has been blocked out lately.
 The importance of this find can be guaged by the 1 per cent standard of the company, now understood to in elude more than 56,OO0,O00 tons of de- veloped ore that can be mined and treated successfully by the company's economical process. The Ajo Consol- dated ground especially is being de- veloped for ore to feed the contem- plated great Notation mill. Sulphide ores to the extent of about 10000 tons have been shipped to the Calumet and Arizona shelter at Douglas. The focal teaching plant handles only the surface carbonates and oxides. Ex- ploration is finding much native cop per, chalcocite and bornite. It is nota- ble that the late find was in ground that had been missed in the diamond drill exploration.
 The company operates with the low est tonnage cost known in Arizona, mainly through it's steam-shovel sys- tenn. Production lately has been cut down and the operating force now numbers only 6S0 men.

49 and Yellowstone

During his stay at the coast Mr. Caldwell bonded two groups of claims know as 49 and Yellowstone groups. These are associated in the same zone as the R. K. Neil and associates prop erty. Mir. Caldwell is of the opinion that this territory will prove to be the richest gold and silver camp ever dis covered in the history of the mining world.
 The property which R. K. Neil and associates are developing is proving to be one of the most remarkable mines in the world, declares MT. Caldwell. One tunnel driven on the vein for about 300 feet and crosscut for 80 feet gives depth of the ore body of 300 feet. The average sample taken from this ore gives values of $160 in gold and 200 ounces of silver.
 The estimated value of the ore bod ies in sight on Neil's property would stagger one's imagination, says A[r. Caldwell. The outcrop of the ore bod ies on the 49 and Yellowstone groups is traceable for miles. Considerable development has been done on these through open cuts and the sinking of slight depth shafts, which give values of S19 to $65 ton. These veins are 100 to 200 feet wide.
 Attracting Attention.
 These phenomenal ore deposits which carry such marvellous tonnage as we'll as values are fast attracting the at tention of the mining capitalists of the United States. MT. Caldwell says, and it is his belief that such impor- tant discoveries cannot fail to bring British Columbia vast sums of money for investment from the outer world.

%f THE TANKS WHEN
 TROPHY TRAIN COMES

The two whippet tanks which the government has assigned to the Twelf- tn Federal reserve District for the coming Victory Liberty Loan cam paign, have been especially "dolled up" for the occasion.
 Along with 10 others which are to serve in the West, these tanks have been camouflaged according to lines provided by the government. Four distinct designs have been used.
 The tanks look very much alike on first inspection, but careful scrutiny shows difference in pattern and that what appears like careless use of coiorS is in reality a scientific place. ment of the four dull hues which aid in making the tanks inconspicious.
 The Victory Liberty Loan tanks are not toys. Though small, compared with such giants as the famous Brit tania," they are none the less real and are capable of giving a full ac- count of themselves in combat. It was with tanks like these, that the government expected to break the Ger man defenses. Postwar statements show that had the war continued many months longer there would have been a whippet ready for every 70 feet of the Western Front.
 Each Whippet is manned by two ex- perts. Both driver and machine gun man are experienced in both branches of the tank service, in order that in ease of accident the gunner may drive or the driver man the gun. The gun on these particular tanks are the fam ous Browning rapid fire rifle.
 The interior of the tanks is small. The driver sits in the extreme front with an elevation off the floor of but few inches and the gunner stands immediately back of him surrounded by his reels of cartridges. The en- zine is in separate compartment in the rear. It can be cranked from the inside but in case of serious trouble can only be reached through the trap doors in the roof.
 The schedules oh which these tanks will tour the West, are practically complete. Two will be aboard spec ial trains, one running in the South west and one in the Northwest. One on its way to Honolulu. Los Angeles | and San Francisco will have one each | and Oregon and Washington each get one. Northern California, exclusive of San Francisco will have one tank and possibly two.
 The people of this state will have an opportunity to see one of these tanks in action when their city is vis- tied by the trophy train. A number of the larger cities will have more extended demonstration when the spe- cially assigned Northern California tank visits their city.

CAFETERIA PLAN SELLS WOMEN'S APPAREL

The latest innovation in clerkless stores is the "dresseteria," now suc- cessfully handling women's ready-to- wear clothes. Signs replace sales people in this unique shop, so, unat- tended and unhurried, the customer examines the articles in which she is interested and makes her purchases. She may have help, however, so sign informs her that an employee will be glad to assist in selection if invited to do so.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Since the bloody race conflict in
the city Of Chicago continues, there will
naturally be many conjectures made as to
its probable cause. Having been in that
city several times, where i have business
connections let me tell you of the one big
underlying cause.-the one which transcends
all others-and that is, the notorious disre-
gard of Americans for the laws of their
land
Remembering this, it seems incredible that
1.-The Morning American" July 81, would play
up prominently on its first page a reported
interview with the Illinois State Attorney.
Maclay Hoyne, in which he is quoted as saw
ing: There should be some scheme of sepre
cation, to which majority of negroes will
themselves consent" Here we have an officer
sworn to carry out the laws as placed on the
statute books of the State of Illinois OPEN
y advocating, with Mr.. Hearst's con-
nivance. a deliberate violation Of the H.
hnois equal rights bill.
Who having travelled in the South. does
not know that the much touted "dry" South
is as wet as any one with the money to
buy and the inclination to drink wants to
make it? Their dry laws, like the South.s
observance of the Fourteenth Amendment
and the North's observance of the Fifteenth
Amendment, are travesties With this dis
regard Of law and order among both rac.s
what more natural could happen than the
riot?
Tired, sick and disguised with his miserable
existence. the colored man, infected with the
white mans contempt of law, could only

A Chinese Departure

To the overthrow of the ancient empire
and the declaration Of war on Germany
changing China adds third entry which,
strange to say, has passed almost un-
noticed by the outside world. 1t is the
introduction Of, phonetic writing by
government decree issued last winter. :
AS with most, if not ALL ancient peo-
Piles, writing with the Chinese originated
in copying the appearance of objects.
Realistic in origin, the system by and
by developed into conventionalism, fixed
symbols, evolving from rough portrait
ure and permitting the representation Of
abstract concepts. Thus the Chinese
method expressed vicinity by two
squares drawn side by side; descent
was symbolized by the image of a child
suspended on cord; two female heads.
topped over by roof, signified the con-
cept of quarrel. This system of writ
ing is called topography or the picturing
of ideas. 1t naturally necessitates an
enormous number Of symbols, and its
expressive range is restricted Its incon-
veniences were SO obvious that Chinese
savants attempted simplifcation. In
121 A. D. the number of primary or
root symbols was fixed at SAC Com
Dinations were employed to express ad-
ditional words. In 1916 the number was
reduced to 2l4, and ever since the ton
dency toward an ideophonetic system,
or tho combination of concept writing
with sound writing, was traceable.
Under this system a disease was rep
resented by the sign Of illness combined
with the signs Of the particular attic
ton. Thus badness was stated by the
sign of. harvest plus the sign Of man.
both under the sign Of Illness The sign
of mountain below the sign of illness
signified a tumor, and so on. As Ray
mond de Saussure, the Swiss .philologist
remarks, the analysis Of this system .of
symbols yields penetrating study Of
Chinese. popular psychology.
Even with the growing tendency TO-
ward simplifications Chinese writing re-,

Inc freSlGefC IS reported as saying to
Senator Watson he fears, if the league
Of nations as embodied in the covenant
IS not quickly established, new Euro
pean crisis.
Thatsis to say, there now exists a
threat of war. If the league were in
being What would it do? Article NJ of
the covenant prescribes what IS to be
done i'll such a contingency, to wit:
Any war or threat Of war, whether
Immediately affecting any mombor Of the
league'or not, is hereby declared matter
of concern to the whole league, and the
league shall take any action that may be
deemed wise and effectual to safeguard
the peace of nations. In case any such
emergency should arise the Secretary
General shall, on the request of any
member of the league, summon meeting
of the council"
In the presence Of threat Of wal
there would be conference to consider
what should be done. To get any concert
of safegua riding recommendation it would
be necessary to secure unanimous
vote. The recommendation, even though
unanimously supported, would go back to
the home governments for Endorsement.
This is all that could be done under the
authority of the covenant.
Now, the nations can do this now.
There is nothing to prevent the Presi-
dent calling conference He has ample
authority under laws now on our statute
books. The President lis not required to
wait for the ratification Of the covenant
before acting. Should the President
issue invitations to a conference such as
Sir Edward Grey vain]y sought to bring
together,in July, 1914, no nations invited
would decline. 1t is disingenuous to imply
that with respect to meeting world
crisis the nations cannot now take coun-
sci together.
trying feature of the covenant dis
cussion is the denial in one breath that it
creates any new conditions aud the asser-
ton in the next breath that it does. The
remark of the President to Senator Wat
son is of the latter character, while re-
marks to other Senators have been of the
former character Ole minute it is
argued that the covenant does nothing
and is to be accepted rs at least harm
less, and then in the next minute it is
presented as of vast import. The truth.
Of course, is that the league has not
gun or man it can use without general
agreement plus the particular consent of
the nations whose guns and men are to
be used. But it suits personal or politi-
cal ends not to present the league as it
is, but as something qualitatively diff
ferent.

The Mcral Equivalency of Baseball

OF all The folk who would Seat their
cake and have it too the 'pscltists who
would abolish war and yet preserve its
benefits seem the most egregiously il
logical and na1vely absurd. When Will
lam James wrote HIS famous essay upon
a Moral Equivalent Of Waf5hc conceded
the doubts and difficulties frankly, and
merely stated the desired end without
pretending to reach it. He suggested
certain adventurous occupations, such as
rallroading, as coming nearest to the
education yielded by war. Oddly enough,
he proposed something very like con-
scription to do the adventurous labor of
the world, that every citizen might
benefit by~it
Now comes a writer in The Dial who
puts forward baseball as the answer to
the whole problem. We can believe that
Professor James was amused by the sug-
gestion when it was preached to him,
those years ago, and there are traces of
humor in the current Dial article
as considerable traces" as so solemn a
remoulder of the universe can counte-
nance. But in the end the searcher for
a moral equivalent of war presents base
ball in quite religious fervor
! am ready to urge the
claims Of international baseball as
capable Of arousing far more national re-
ligious fervor than the. more. monotonous
game of ornaments and war. Those who
foor fho
reign of peace can convince themselves
of the thrilling and exciting character of
baseball by watching the behavior of
crowds snots only at the games, but also
at the baseball score boards miles away.
National .rivalries and aspirations could
find their intenaest expression in q close
international pennant race, and get such
rivalry would not be incompatible with
the establishment of the true Church
Universal. in which all men would feel
their brotherhood in the Infinite Game"
Thrills and excitement-all that this
advocate of peace can See in WARFARE
Incidental to war training, to be sure,
