the Holy Land and has made 1t known
that he proposes to increase the sum
from time to time.
The career of Straus is an object
lesson to every struggling young man
in America.
Born in Rhenish Bavaria, in 184S,
he came to this country six years
later with his family and settled in
Talbotton, Ga, where he obtained
meager education.
Subsequently he went to New York,
took a business training course and
| joined his father in the business of i'm
porting pottery and glass.
! After his marriage in 1875 he be-
! came partner in the department
store of r. H. Macy & Co., which
under his personal management be-
came one of the largest concerns of
its kind in the world.
Always an ardent Democrat, he took
considerable interest in New York
politics, but when he was rendered
the nomination for mayor in 1894 he
declined the honor.
Charity has been the background of
his life.
After many years of struggling he
obtained permission to establish a
sterilization plant on Randal's island
for the benefit of foundlings. His
action lowered the infant death rate of
New York so per cent.
Later he established a great chain
of pure milk distributing stations
throughout the United States and in
cities OF several foreign countries.
His aid to the unfortunate has ex,
tt>ded to furnishing coal and grocer
les at cost. He has never desired the
people who benefited by his efforts to
feel they were living on charity.
He has been one of the world S
leading workers in the international
congress to stop the ravages of the
white plague"

BULLS Confident
OF CORN MARKET,
TRADING REVEALS

CHICAGO, May 29.-Confidence re-
garding high prices of grain has
shown remarkable vitality this week
in view of the semi-panic which pre-
coded. Failure of receipts to enlarge,
together with planting delays, de-
creased production and Australian
drought, gave renewed courage to
bulls. Compared with a week ago.
corn quotations this morning were
asc to &c higher; oats up 1Hc to
SIC, and provisions at gains of sc
to 75c.
1t quickly became evident that
many influential traders believed the
drastic declines which had been
witnessed were more than sufficient
to discount depressing features of the
corn market. Upward swings began.

The process of price reduction ex-
tended to the point where 1t encom,

albeit in moderate degree, while such
commodities as textiles and feathers
experienced further depreciatsop.

JAPANESE THREATEN 10 USE E0RCE

TOXIC, Nov., 15- Marquis Okuma.
 x preimier of Japan today in a speech attacked the plan of the Califol nia people to exclude Japanese from Ann erica by treaty. He pointed out that hitherto immigration had been re- stricted by voluntary agreement be- tween the United States and Japan because the restriction was prejudic- ial to Japans prestige. The effort on the part of the people of California to make this restriction statutory was an act of infidelity to Japanese and American friendship. If Japans appeal fails, only force remained. Japan desires a solution of this problem at an early date, fearing otherwise that the question will lead to an outburst of self sacrificing patriotism for which the Japanese are noted.

THE UNITED STATES NOW < CHIEF SOURCE. OF
 WORLDS ZINC. SUPPLY.


 At present the worlds chief source of zinc. is the United States, which gained supremacy in the zinc industry when; the war eliminated Germany and Belgium from this field, it is de. clared by; the National Bank of Com. merce in New York, in the November number of its magazine, Commerce Monthly.
 The United States had little export port trade in this metal until the war forced foreign consumers to turn to American markets, the bank points out, but its trade is now in excess of that of any other nation and probably will remain so because of the continu- ing incapacity of the former produc- ing countries to supply the market. The United States exported 1O9,232 tons of zinc in the first eight months of this year, according to the bank, or nearly ten times the normal annual amount exported before the war.
 Belgium and Germany used to supply most. of the international de- mand," says Commerce Monthly, "but ;hese countries are not now able to produce zinc to compete with the Am erican product. In 1913 Belgium ex- ported 194,513 short tons of spelter, or over nine times as much as did the United States. Although many of. the zinc plants escaped destruction during the occupation of Belgium, others were completely dismantled. There has been loss, moreover, through
 
 the Reorganization of the skilled lab bring force as a consequence of the war. At: the same time there is a ser ious shortage of fuel and of zinc ore.
 Unlike the Belgians the Germans smelted principally from domestic ore. Present fuel and labor conditions, however, are not favorable for exten- sive zinc production in Germany. AL though the ore is found in nearly ev- cry country in the world, the deposits in the United States and Germany alone of the chief smelling countries are sufficient for domestic areqdire' tnents. Australia the third largest producer of zinc ore ard concentrates, has but . small smelter Capacity aad consequently has been Europe's chief sourcs for foreign ore"

Although five new cases of small pox developed at Unalaska last week, advices from there say the situation is we'll in hand and no serious epidemic is anticipated.
 Responding to telegraphic re- quest from Gov. Riggs, the U. s. s. Saturn, en route to Pribilof Islands, turned aside and went to Unalaska. The Saturn had ninety-five tubes of vaccine, which aided considerably in combating the disease.
 Advices from Supt. Lopp at Seattle say the Algonquin left there several days ago with vaccine and other sup plies for the sufferers, including fuel and food. The Unalga is now at Unalaska giving every possible as- sistance.
 Late advices indicate the epidemic is in a mild form and that a severe epidemic is not likely. At the latest report there were "A cases at Un- alaska and 10 at Akutan.
 Dr. Newland, who is conducting the fight against the disease, is connected with the Jessie Lee school, established by the Methodist church, and has been appointed by both the surgeon general, public health service, and the territorial health authorities to handle the situation Cordova Times.
