American Manganese
Production Ends
With Close OF War

shipping for the importation of this
product from Brazil and Cuba at a
lower figure per ton than it could be

can revive the industry in Montana.
The outlook is hopeless although the
Anaconda Company, at the urgent re-
quest of the government constructed
a ferromanganese plant at Great Falls
at a cost of $750,000. This plant pro-
duced approximately 1850 ON of
manganese, which carried
content of 80 per cent, 10 per cent
iron and 4 per cent of SILICA. 1t was
especially desirable for steel manu-
featuring because of its concentrated
manganese, but not a pound had yet
been sold when the armistice was
signed, consequently we still have it
on our hands"
Brazil and Cuba can deliver on the
wharves of Baltimore manganese for
$3.50 a ton whereas its cost of pro-
ductlon to Montana producers is APP
proXimately SO a ton to which must
be added the freight rate to Pittsburg
of 81 a short ton.
at is impossible to think of a
traiH large enough to make profitable
domestic production of manganese"
said the Anaconda engineer. " The
only thing which could revive the in
dustry in Montana would be the es-
Enlistment of steel manufacturing in
Great Falls, so as to eliminate freight
rates. 1t is questionable if gar
production could be developed to an
extent large enough to warrant this"

of 1900 tons monthly, at a guarantee

the government, will be closed down

Queer of manganese in Butte, with a

addition there was loss of employ
ment for hundred or more in the
Great Falls plant and several score
in the Ophir mill of the Butte Detroit
Mining Company, the only company
in Montana which milled manganese.
A small amount of manganese also
was mined as a by-product by the
Davis-Daly mining company of Butte.
The Great Falls plant had reached
a capacity of 5000 tons of ferroman-

Dogs Played Vital
Part For Allies
During Big War

LONDON, Jan. 20-(Associated
Press)-England's dog army rendered
gallant service in the war. Many a
soldier owes his life to some poor,
uncared-for, stray dog. For nearly
two years dogs were employed by the
British as messengers, as sentries
and as guards.
Early in 1917 a war dog school OF
instruction was established by the
British War Office, and Lieutenant
Colonel Richardson, who has devoted
his life to training dogs for military
and police purposes, was appointed
commandant of the school. Game
keepers, hunt servants and shepherds
were called up from the army to as
sist in the work of instruction.
After a thorough training in Eng
land, the dogs were sent to France,
and on the battlefields their skill,
courage and ~tenacity amazed the
army. Often wounded in the perform
ance of their duties, they never falter-
ed while strength remained to carry
on. The official record of their heroic
work tells of successful message
carrying through darkness, mist, rain
and shell-fre over the most difficult
ground. In a few minutes time dogs
have brought messages over ground
thai would take = soldier runner hours
to cross
During the great German advance
last spring part of the British line in
front of a famous French town was
cut off by severe enemy barrage. A
messenger dog was released with an
urgent appeal for achievements. 1t
ran two miles in ten minutes. The
result was that a French colonial
division was sent up and prevented
a disaster. The messenger was a
Highland sheep dog.
Another dog with a message ran
nearly four miles in twenty minutes,
and still another in the same time
carried back from the front a map
of an important captured position,
when a mar would have taken an
hour and a half to bring it in.
The dogs which have been found
most successful in war work are
%collies, sheep dogs, lurchers and
a~iredales, and crosses of these varie.
ties, while in a number of cases
Welsh and Irish terriers have given
excellent results.
The work of sentry dogs has been
valuable, especially in the Balkans
One gave warning of al enemy scout
300 yards away. On many occasions
dogs have given warning Of enemy
patrols long before the soldier sen.
tries were aware of their presence.
Large numbers of dogs have beer
used for guard duty, many on the
Italian front.

HOW SOME DECORATIONS
FOR BRAVERY WE'RE OBTAINED

VIENNA, January s. (By ASCOT
ated Press)-Of how little importance
and significance were some of the
orders and decorations bestowed upon
princes and mobiles during the war is
indicated by a little story now going
the rounds in Vienna. 1t concerns
Albrecht, the son of Archduke Fried
rich.
He was assigned to the front with
a Tyrol Kaiser regiment, but with in
structions to the colonel and COM
mander that he must never be en-
dangered. In 1917 the regiment had
a strenuous battle with the Italians at
Schluderbach and suffered heavy los
ses.
When the authorities looked over
the list of recommendations for dec
orations after the battle it was MOTTO
ed that Archduke Albrecht's name
was not present. 1t was learned that
he had been three kilometers behind
the line during the fighting. The
colonel declared he could not cite him
as n of his bravest, since it would
make ill-feeling among the soldiers
and was not justified.
An order then was issued command
ing the colonel to recommend Alb
recht for the golden medal for BRAY
cry, and when the officer refused he
was relieved from his command.
