WEALTH OF THE SEA
 ST|RS CAP|D|TY OF
 TREASURE HUNTERS
Untold Millions Are to Be Recovered From Ocean Depths Following the
 Wars Destruction
Fly CLAIR PRICE Suecjal fo The Aue- Herald

London January 2e.-tSpeciaL)-Now that hostilities are ended, look for the greatest treasure hunt in history
 Companies already being organized here to recover from the bed of the ocean large part of the enormous treas ure which naval operations have sent down.
 Wealth beyond the dreams of ava rice' awaits them. One officer estimates that the ocean lanes from Britain to India alone are strewn with lost ships worth more than S500,OO 900. Specie gold and precious stones, silks, copper. lead, wool quicksilver and oils-all the count less commodities into whose production went the sweat of men and into whose recovery will go the daring and even the lives of men, await the salvage com panes.
 Even ships alone, without a ton of cargo in their huls worth salvaging, are bringing fabulous prices today. If the Lusitania could be raised, the ship alone would bring s5,O000OO at Liverpool. Expert brains are devising methods of salvage which pre-war salvage com panes never dreamed of
 New diving suits among the most startling of the new devices. A few years ago, it took more than average physichal fitness and a far more than average daring for diver to go down 30 fathoms, or 1S0, feet Some two years ago, United States navy divers from the Brooklyn yard, startled the world by go- ing down little over 50 fathoms, or 31 feet to recover an American submarine which had gone to the bottom off Hono- lulu.
 Now comes news, however, of new diving suit which will permit a diver to go down 1000 feet without danger. It is a suit of heavy armor, made of man. ganese bronze and fitted with ball-bear- ing joints. It is not only strong enough to withstand the terrific water pressure of 1000 feet, but it carries compressed air tank. built on the back of the armor which furnishes the diver with air suffi- cient for four hours. Consequently IL is not necessary to pump air down to him and as he works under ordinary at mospheric pressure, he feels no Ill et- fleets, no matter at what depth he works
 Other methods of equally startnns novelty, are to be used.
 Already experiments have been made with huge cylinders designed for raising sunken ships in a tideless sea. mere being no natural means Of Hft, It IS necessary to use buoyancy. working on this principle, the cylinders are used where there is no tide, and no current.
 Divers rescend beforehand, as usual, to make a careful examination of the hull to find out to what extent 1t mas cen damaged and to discover what parts of the hull cannot stand the pressure or applied buopancy. ,
 Then the huge iron cylinders are toweo out from the nearest dockyard and, nav ing been filled with water, are sunk close to the wreck, one or more on each side, and at the bottom are lasfseo by divers firmly to the wrecks by steel cables.

American Patriotism.
By c. M. MORRISON

There has been enough gloom and
to spare for the last twenty months
What we are needing in America is
a lot of the other sort of thing.
Smoke from the chimney of the
factory may streak the sky with
ueliness. 1t may not make a hit
with the lovers of the beautiful. but
it certainly lights up the path of the
wage Garner and puts a lot of
brightness in home.
1t is a hard matter to sing a
cheerful song of industry and pros.
perity when the wheels of the mills
are slowing down, And any time
that things slow down in the busi-
ness world, prosperity moves over
the horizon somewhere.
Of course there will be plenty of
labor. The country was short of
man power last year but it won't be
much longer. The other day one
of the army transports that used to
belong to the Kaiser's own Huns,
docked at New York with few
more than $4,000 returning soldiers
on board. They are coming back
mighty fast now and the whole re-
turn movement is likely to be
speeded up even faster.
1t is mighty important that when
they do come back. that they come
back to some kind of job. Pre-
ferably this should be good job
but it is necessary that it be de-
cent job. that a man can make {
living at.
If these fellows coming out of thu
army come back into a country
where there are no jobs and where
returned soldiers will have to form
into a broad line, why then tina
will be another and a mighty un
pleasant story
Right now American industr!

millions of 0cl!ars turned loose to
circulate in the worlds of labor and
raw materials
To these industries the American
Government owes something like
S2,000,000000. This money is due
for gas, for munitions, for equip
ments, for rifles and machine guns
and everything in the way of war
materials. materials we did not use.
The Governments wants to pay it
and is waiting for us to raise the
money to pay it. This tremendous
unpaid debt is one of the things that
is hindering the new start that the
country wants to make. 1t is one
of the things that is standing in the
way of having job ready for every
man and woman in the country
who wants work.
That is what we want in this
country,-things to boom, to keep
moving along We got accustomed
to good times in the past four years.
In the first two or three years of the
war the nations of Europe who af-
terward became our Allies in every,
thing save the formality of the
name, showered us with orders for
all sorts of goods and materials
The farms fiourished and the fac.
tories were busy.
Wages shot up and up. orders in
creased, raw material prices ad
vanced, They crammed prosperity
upon us The average man made
money mighty easily. compared
with effort he has put forth in thu
past. We have been accustomed t
better than usual times now for {
little more than four years. Their,
is no genuinely good reason VIII!
these good times should not con
tinue. But they won't if we short
sightedly fail to support the Gov
ernment that is trying to brinI
about their continuance
Monroe City Democrat., 1919-06-13

We have a far better opportunity
to keep going at the old pace than
any of our friends or our late enc
mics. There is no reason for us to
let the bottom fall out of things. We
are too nearly out of the woods to
permit that to happen.
But in order to make the most of
the opportunities it will be neces-
sary for us to make the most of the
present chance. Money is required
to 90 on with the shipbuilding. We
want the ships to carry our meat
and grain. our lumber and our
steel. our cotton and our dairy prod
ucts to foreign countries.

ment's disposal But this was ex.

ness issued in advance of the
loan.
Secretary Glass and the Treas
ury Department are doing some tall
planning these days to keep the
smoke going up the chimney. The
Government stills needs money, but
it does not need money so badly as
the American people need practical
lessons in thrift.
AS now planned. and as now be,
ing executed, these two things are
being brought about by one and
