CANADA HAS PLENTY
 OE NEW PLATINUM
5O,OOO Oz. of Platinum Metals Contained in Ores Mined in Dominion Each Year for Which There Was No Re- cOVery.

Toronto, Nov. 15.-According to a report on the platinum situation in Canada for 1918, written by J. L. O'NeiII, and issued by the Department of Mines at Ottowa, Canada, has the possibilities of becoming one of the worlds largest producers of metals of the platinum group. There are probably more than 50,0OO ounces of the platinum metals contained in ores mined in Canada each year for which no recovery is reported, the investigator found. The present time, he states, the production is reported at less than 100 ounces per annun1. Extracts from the report for 1918 are as follows:
 All the information at land points out that a very large amount of this material is lost from one cause or another. It is entirely reasonable that the Government should inquire what becomes of this material, which rep resents a value at present prices at over $5,000,000, and which up to the conclusion of the war was so rital in its prosecution;. every encourage ment should be given to arrive at a successful solution On the difficulties incident to the recovery of these pre- cious metals
 Efforts should be made to encou- rage the testing of placers for plat mum metals, since there are areas of placer ground in which the values of gold are not sufficient to warrant installing a plant to recover the metal alone, but which should be mined at profit, if appreciable returns from other metals could be obtained in ad- dition to the gold. Particularly is this the case in British Columbia, and 
 why government assistance should not be given in testing likely placers on the same basis as is at present given to lode miners in testing their properties by diamond drilling, i. e., upon the recommendation of it's en- gineer, the Government would order a systematic test of the placer to be carried out, and if successful the cost of testing would later be borne by the property tested.
 Tn the British Empire the produc- ton of platinum minerals is insigni- ficant; New Zealand, Australia and Canada are the only producers, and the total is only few hundred ounces. The richer and more easily accessible pIacers of Russia are be- coming exhausted, and the Republic of Columbia Is the only other large producer, having doubled it's produc- don in 1917 to about 5O,00O ounces.
 There are in Canada, especially in British Columbia, great placers which contain both gold ana platin- um in small amounts. In testing for platinum a test is also made for gold with little extra expense, and the combined values may warrant opera tions on such a scale as to apprecia- ply increase the production of gold IS well as that of platinum metals.

IS ARRESTED FOR
 STRIKING GIRL

New Orleans, Nov. 15-Eugene Walter, the playwright, has been visiting friends in New Iberia while bench warrant from CalafornIa court could not find him. Press dis patches had told how he had struck Miss Nina Whitmore, a motion picture actress, in q hotel in Los Angles. He had been attentive to her since his seperaion from his wife, known to the stage as Charlotte Walker. He was arrested, gave $10O bond and came away. Miss Whitmore is suing him for $5O,OOO.
 ''The girl had been with the Fol Hes,' said Walter. and I got her in to the motion pictures out in Los Angeles, where she made good and was on her way to be starred by the GoIdynn people, for whom have been writing scenerios. She told me she was a single girl, and I had planned to marry her.
 Then I learned hat she had never been divorced. The California sun- light was bright, so I put a shade on her eye for fooling me and she had me pinched. I put up a hundred fishes to get out, and then she slapped on suit for S50,O0O which, take it from me. will never be collected.
 ''I've been down in New Iberia parish with friends, and while was there I wrote a new play and now I'm going to New ! York to put it in the hands of my producers"

 WILL TAKE AIR
 THIS AFTERNOON

Mount Jewett, Pa, Nov. 15 - The HandIey-Page airplane commanded by Vice Admiral Kerr, which left Nineola yesterday for Chicago and was compelled to land here, will take the air again this afternoon for Cleveland if the weather conditions remain good.
 At Cleveland a supply of oil and gasoline will be taken on, and the flight to Chicago probably continued.
 The machine made good time all the way from Mineola until a point two miles east of Mount Jewett was reached. There it was discovered that a water connection had gone bad, and a landing was effected without damage.
 Work on repairs was commenced as soon as possible, and it was thought that the flight would be re- sumed about 1 D. m. An hour will be taken up with journey to CIeve- land, where it will land at the Glenn Martin Flying Field.

RED PROPAGANDA
 ENTERING 5, s.
 THROUGH EEXIC0

Mexico City, Friday, Nov. 14.-In connection with charges that Red propaganda is going into the United States by way of Mexico, it is known here that the government has been aware that radicals of various sorts have intended to include Mexico in their field of operations.
 Officials in all ports Of entry have been ordered to increase their vigil lance against the entry of these un- desirab bles Deportation by the au- thorities here of many radicals within the last few months is taken as evi- dence that the government is not in- cIined to temporize with an element regarded as dangerous.
 Newspaper reports recently said group of 13O radicals, expelled from the United States and Argentina, were expected at Tampico and Vera Cruz and precautions to bar them were taken.

Paris, Nov. 15-A blizzard struck the Paris region last night. Six to ten inches of snow fell, and the storm continues with unabated violence The central markets are practically deserted, surface tram cars and taxi cab service have been virtually tied up and trains from the province are arriving hours late. Some trains from the north have been stalled aI- together. All overland telegraph communication with Spain has been interrupted.
 This is the earliest blizzard on rec ord in Paris, adding greatly to the discomfort and misery from lack of ties

MORE RULINGS
 ON ISSUANCE 0f VICTORY BUTTONS

In response to numerous inquiries made as to the eligibility of members of Provisional Training Regiments for Victory Buttons a recent decision of the Secretary of War is quoted below:
 ''The Secretary of War directs the Adjutant General to reply to inquiries on this subject to the effect that mem bers of Provisional Training Regi- ments who were honorably discharged during the year 1917, are not entitled to a Bronze Victory Button. This decision came about due to the fact that members of the Provisional Training Regiments were serving un- der a special provision and oath that did not require them to serve any where except in a training camp to compete for a commission. They were not subject to orders as were the classes mentioned in paragraph one of instructions and for this reason have been held not to have been at any time part Of the army proper and not to have rendered the kind Of ser vice which the Victory Button was in tended to indicate"
 In answer to inquiries from men who have lost their buttons or desire extra ones, the War Department will not undertake to supply such requests until all those entitled thereto have received their allowance. However, authority has been granted to Bailey, Banns and Riddle Company, Phila- deIphia, Pa, to secure an official die and make these buttons for sale, and they are probably ready to supply the demands now. This firm, which is thoroughly responsible, has been in structed to exercise care in the sale of the bronze and silver buttons. to insure that they are sold only to those entitled to them.
 Recruiting officers, in the issue of these buttons, will be governed ac- in 1c.II-
