SOUTH MINED 10 PER CENT 0F IRON DURING YEAR 1918 Total Shipments 7,249,O0O Tons, Valued at Over $17,O00,0O or $40
 a Ton
., A.soelst.d rrss,

Washington. February s.-The south eastern states. which includes Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina. Tennessee an1 Virginia, mined and shipped about 10 per cent of the countrys output of iron ore in 1918. Statistics just made public by the geological survey SHOWS the south eastern states mined 6,906,0Oo gross tons compared with S.333766 in 1917. and the shipments were 7.249,0oo tons. valued a. $i7. .405, 900 or $40 a ton. compared with 1917 shipments of S,396,Si1 tons, valued at sl6, 437 .775 or $l96 ton.
 The decreases in production and ship ments in 1913 were respectively r per cent and if per cent, considerably more than the decreases in the Lake Superior district. Total production in the Unted States amounted to 69,7l2.00o gross tons, compared with 75.2SS,s5l in 1917. The de- creases in output was general through out the country but Georgia increased her output, the only state to do so.
 The decrease is probably to be attri- buted to combination of circumstances, the report says. Industrial conditions were more or less disturbed. the suppl, of labor uncertain and transportation facilities were inadequate.

NEXT DRIVE ID BE FOR THANKSGIVING LOAN, SAYS GLASS Must Be Floated in Spirit of Patriotism Rather Than on Cold Commercial
 Basis
By A,soejated Prs,,


 P1ttsburg, February s.--''The next Lib- erty Loan will be Thanksgiving loan, as we'll as Victory loan, and must be floated in spirit of patriotism rather than on cold commercial basis," Secre- tary Glass declared in an address here tonight before the Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce.
 "A little thought will teach the visest among the financiers that it is impos- sible now to float, purely for investment purposes, a loan of $5, ,o0o, ,0o0, 900 or 5000 oOe,e00." MT. Glass said. We have got to appeal to the patriotism of the Amer ican people and it will not be done in vain.
 The honor of the government is in- volved. Being your government, it is your honor that is involved Four Lib erty loans have gone over the top and nothing now anybody may say can shake my faith in the purpose of the country to put the capstone to the splendid struc- ture of national credit by making the victory loan an abundant success.
 "The American people should supple ment the patriotism of war by the pa triotism of peace
 When I am told of the difficulties which will beset the Liberty Loan I re- fuse to lose faith in the enduring pa triotism of the American people. I de- cline to believe the fathers and moth CTS who gave 100000 sons to die if nee4 be that liberty might survive will now ,haggle over the material cost of say- ing the very soul of civilization from the perdition of foreign tyranny"
