MANGANESE NO LONGER NEEDED
 FOR WARW0RK

{ MISSOULA, Mont, Feb. 27 (by As. sociated Press) From little strip of ground not more than one and one fourth miles long and with an ex- treme width of half a mile was mined more than 45 per cent of the gross of manganese produced during the pc riod of the war, according to the Unit ed States Geological Survey
 The little town of Philipsburg, which is part of this strip, was for months bustling center of industry. From nearly score of shafts and tun- nels into the brown mountains which rise steeply behind it this most pre- cious war metal-one used so exten- sively and one which is invaluable in the manufacture of the best steel poured in a constant stream to be sent to the mills throughout the country where the instruments of war were produced.
 Now Philipsburg gradually is slip ping back to normal" and save for the thrilled contracts of some of the mines, which will be completed two months hence, work in the manganese mines in the Philipsburg district is entirely suspended.
 The region containing merchantable manganese lies directly along the northerly and southerly contact be- tween the sedimentary and granite formations there.. Throughout the whole of it there is conspicuous alteration due to contact metamorph- ism. According to the opinions of scientists who have studied the To- cality thoroughly, the time at which the manganese was deposited, called the period of enrichment" probably was during the pre-Tertiary period.
 The alteration referred to is con- fined to the sedimentary rocks, and in this formation the manganese ores are found. They not only occur in bedded deposits, upon anti-clines dip ping into the contact, but in the east erly and westerly Assure, bearing sill yer, lead and zinc ores occurring in the sedimentary country, entering the contact, which is from twenty to thirty feet wide, but apparently not penetrat- ing into the granite formation.
 The manganese is found to consti- tute the ledge-illing of the Assures as they approach the contact. Asso- ssfiatcd with 1t, at the time of it's dis covery, was the rich silver ore of the Trout group, Algonquin, True Fissure and other producers, lying within the area noted. The crosscut south from the 400-foot station of the Algonquin shaft, which is it's greatest depth, cut twenty or more feet of the ore, this being a part of the ledge filling.
 Presumably the body continues downward, but as it had no value at the time, no attempt was made to de- termine the fact. It therefore is as- stunned by mining men that the man. ganese is to be found in depth in all of the Assures lying within the meta morphosed area.
 When the demand was made for manganese by the war industries board, acting under the provisions of the war minerals bill which was en- acted to stimulate production and to regulate the price of metals essential in the manufacture of war materials, the manganese of this district came into immediate demand. Slight de-

velopment showed large and rich de- posits of it.
 The production from the Philips burg quadrangle since the beginning of the mining and shipment of the raw material probably will exceed 100000 tons.

Rome, Tuesday, March 1.-THE
Osservatere Romano, the semi-official
organ of the vatican, prints an article
on the league OF nations which is UNI
derstood to embody the viewpoint Of

might have been constituted in a

tons Of the league as follows:
"The setting up OF an arbitration
tribunal to solve international con
flicts.
THE formation Of a society of all
civilized nations, including those de.
feated in the war, which will pledge
themselves to submit their differences
to a tribunal and accept its rulings.
The bringing about of any agree
ment to declare an economic boycott
against any nation which refuses to
submit controversies to a tribunal or
which will not accept decisions on

calls that such a project was sug.

NOTHING TOO GOOD

(5y Leased Wire to New MexIcan.)
New York, March 12.-Tears roll
ed down the cheeks of General
Pershing, while visiting the wounded
officers and men aboard the hospital
ship Mercy at Bordeaux February 81,
according to the stories Of the 3Sl
soldiers who arrived here today on
the ship from the French port.
General Pershing made two visits
to the ship with his staff, it was said
on the day of embarkation and on
each occasion he passed through the
lines Of wounded men in the doub-
lie tiers of cots on each side and
praised and comforted them. Once
he stopped at the cot of a wounded
marine who had lost a leg. He shook
the soldiers hand and in a tone OF
pride and sympathy declared: 'YoI
boys r wonderful fighters"
Later he came across a young sol
der in the surgical ward who was
badly crippled. The general with
fatherly solicitude for his welfare re-
marked: boy, you are a real man
Then addressing the others in the
ward, the tears came to his eyes,
and the old fighter who had won
in the Indian uprisings, The
SpanishsAmerican war, the PHILIPPINE
Instruction and the great war, ex-
tolled the valor OF the new veterans.
Nothing is too good for you,' he
commented as he babe the boys good

OPENS ON G. 0. P.

(By Leased Wire to New Mexlcan.)
Stamford, Conn.,, March H.
Homer 8. Cummings, chairman Of
the national democratic commit
tee, in a formal statement issued
here today, charged that the SEN
ate by its failure to pass many
pending measures essential to
American business had ''abdi--
Gated its functions and neglected
its own duty to point out the sup
posed derelictions Of President
Wilson and defects in peace
treaty which has not been COM
pleted and which Is not before
the senate for it's consideration"
Declaring that chose who as
sent to so desterate a political
devise assume O heavy responsible
ity,p Mr.. Cummins praised the at
titude Of former President Taft
and criticized the republican SEN
ators opposed to the present terms
of the draft under the leadership
OF Senators Lodge, Penrose and
Knox" He charged them with
having no breadth of view" and
with being actuated fin part by a
settled dislike for Wilson and all
his works; and In part by a fixed
purpose to embarrass the presi-
dent and to weaken his influence
at home and abroad"
"All civilization today is upon al
Unsafe and unstable basis" said Mr.
Cummings. The break up of EN-
pires, the struggling into nationa
ife of submerged peoples, the rise
md spread Of bolshevism, the dislo
of industry and the existence
If famine have created new and sx
.raordinary difficulties"
The Democratic chairman declared
hat a league of nations is, in every
ruth, the hope of the world. u
America merely makes peace witt
Germany and withdraws from inter
affairs, he warned, "Eu
-ope will fall into chaos"
Expressing regret that the subject
Ieemed to be becoming a partisan is
Iue and asserting that 1t was greater
han any political party, Cummings
declared that "the alternative pro
ram Of immediate withdrawal and
tudious self isolation By the Uni
ed States was a policy of utEt.

cad in the end to a world cataclysT

(By Leased Wire TO New Mexlean.)
Chicago, March 12.-What was char.
a~cterized as an epoch making event
in the livestock industry was an.
nounced here today. 1t is an organ
ization Of livestock men and packers,
with the government represented, de.
signed to eliminate differences be
tween packers and livestock producers
as fast as they occur.
The announcement came on the
heels OF as48-houF conference attended
by representatives of the livestock as
s~ociations of five states and about fiji
teen of the leading packers OF the
country. The big five" packers all
entered into the agreement.
The state associations represented
were those Of Kansas, Illinois, Iowa,
Missouri and Texas. Other associa'
lions, it was said, will Join the move
ment. Besides the Chicago packers
there were packing house representa-
tives from Buffalo, Indianapolis, De-
troit, Cleveland, Austin, Texas; st.
Louis, Missouri, and Pueblo, Colorado.
The conference adopted a plan
which calls for a conference commit
tee of the livestock industry, com
posed of 20 representatives of the pro-
ducers the packers, and the commits
sion men and a government member.
The agreement was regarded as ten.
tative until 1t has been sanctioned by
interests not at the conference. The
plan contemplates local committees at
all of the leading livestock markets.
Growers who think they have been
unfairly treated in any market may
obtain the facts through the local com
mite on which they will be fully rep
resented, according to the plan.
In a general way 1t is thought that
the organization, as yet unnamed, will
60 far toward helping the problems of
reconstruction and those brought out
by removal Of government control
through the food administration.

Of British Forces
Won't go Back
AT MERCY

(By Leased Wire to New Mexlcan.)

(5y Leased Wire TO New Mexlcan.)
Halifax, N. S., March 12.-Threats
Of 800 troops of the British army who
enlisted in the United States, 81 one
them American citizens, to sink the
transport Toloa unless Immediately
allowed to land and proceed to desti-
nations in the United States by rail,
were reported to the Canadian authori-
ties today by Captain Jackson, com
mander of the transport.
The Toloa, after debarking Canadian
troops here. sailed for New York with
the America bound contingent on
March 10, but was ordered back to this
port to coal for the return trip to Eng
land because Of the outbreak Of the
harbor strike In New York.
Captain Jackson told the authorities
that he had no guns aboard and that
his ship was at the mercy OF the sol
diers.
The captain said that his orders
were to take the men to Halifax and
disembark them, but the military au-
thorities at Ottawa refused, it is
stated, to furnish the men ~transporta-
ton to their homes. After having
started for New York and being forced
to return the men complained bitterly
and their threat resulted.
After consultation with the authori-
ties the only answer that Captain
Jackson could take back to the ship
today was that those who had enough
money to pay their transportation and
additional money to meet
the United States immigration law
would be allowed to land. But only
a small number possessed the neces.
sary funds.
The captain said he disclaimed all
responsibility for anything that might
happen when the decision became
known to the men.
The American immigration officials
took the ground that the men pos
sessed no papers proving them to be
American citizens or residents.
The Toloa is under orders to remain
lere until Friday, coaling before pro
eeeding for New York.
