ABOARD THE GEORGE WASH
INGTON, Feb. 24.---President Wilson,
returning TO American shores, is con-
fident that congress and the people
will approve the participation of the
United States in the league of nations.
The failure of America to sanction
such course would. he believes, be
a great moral blow to the civilized
nations now bending their efforts to-
ward n just and lasting peace.
The presidents historic Journeys
through foreign lands and his work
at the peace table have convinced
him that the European nations look
to the United States as the one great
power without selfish interests par

United States TO refuse to join what
he and the majority OF the nations re-
gard as the fundamental element TO
lasting peace. would, he believes,

Hence the president returns to
make a strong effort at convincing
the county and congressional mem.
bers OF the vital importance OF the
league.

PRECIOUS STONES IN 1918.
Report by the United States Geological
Survey.

The value of the precious stones an
nually produced in the United States
from the beginning of this century to
1919 mas been about one third of mil
lion dollars. In 1914 and in every year
since, the annual value of the output
has dropped considerably, and in 1918 it
dropped to $l06,523, the lowest reported
since the United States geological survey
began to collect statistics of gem pro
duction, in 1883, with the single excep-
ton of 1896, when it was s97 $50.
The report on the production Of pre-
cious stones in 1918, just published by
the United States geological survey, de.
partment of the interior, ascribes the de-
crease in the value of the precious stones
produced to the military enlistment of
many gem miners, the general scarcity
of labor, and the poor market.
The output consisted chiefly of the
sapphire variety of corundum, which is
nearly all used as mechanical bearings in
watches and other instruments that re-
quire practically wearing, friction
less bearings. Other less valuable and
softer minerals used for this purpose are
garnet and some forms of hard, compact
silica, known as agate and chalcedony.
The annual value of the output of the
four gem minerals, eorundum, quartz,
tourmaline, and turquoise, amounts to
over four-ffths of the total value of all
the precious stones produced in the Unit
ed States.
Montana, Nevada, California, Colora-
do, Maine, and Arizona are the chief
gem-producing states, but from 20 to 80
states annually report some production.
Several relatively large diamonds were
found in Arkansas in 1918, notably a
canary colored octahedron weighing
nearly s carats and number of small
err stones weighing several carats each.
The value of all the diamonds produced
in the United States, however, in no
year exceeds a few thousand dollars.
The report also records the finding of
two large diamonds in South Africa,
weighing about three ounces each. 1t is
estimated that about half the diamonds
in the world are owned in the United
States and that their value is over a
billion dollars. With the elimination of
competition from German Southwest At
RIGA, 95 per cent of the worlds produc.
ton of diamonds will be under the con-
troll of the De Beers Consolidated Mines
Co and its selling agents.
The report gives a short list Of the in
dustrial uses of precious stones of gem
quality and full descriptions OF the Ice
land spar variety of calcite and of opti-
cal fuorite, states the special uses and
necessary qualifications of the material,
and includes lists Of buyers

CEDED THROUGH MISTAKE.
German Newspaper Gives One Reason for
Ceding of East Prussia to Poland.

Berlin, July % Correspondence of the
Associated Press The Boersen Zeitung
asserts that East Prussia was coded to
Poland by the peace conference because
of "a mistaken and incorrect scientific
book published in 1917 by the American
Geographical society containing an ar
ticle entitled, The Boundaries of Ian
guage and Nationality by Leon Domini-
tan"
The German newspaper AYERS that
President Wilson was influenced by the
"innocently false information of this ar
ticle" which, it says, declared that Dant-
zig was 10 per cent Polish and that the
present Polish corridor and neighboring
East Prussia was purely Polish.
The Boersen Zeitung declares that, on
the contrary, Dantzig is less than per
cent Polish. The newspaper disputes the
Polish character OF the corridor. 1t de-
clares that it is certain that the article
referred to was used in fixing the bound
aries.
