NEWFOUNDLAND RICH IN IRON
; Enough Ore There to Supply the World

Not Longer.

Lord Morris in a lecture at st. Johns
Wood Presbyterian church. Mari
borough place. London. described the
development Of Newfoundland for the
last 400 years. from the time Of the
early rOlonizers up to the day when
that great captain Of industry. Lord
Northcliffe, established the great paper
mills that are now supplying the Times.
the Daily Mail. the Daily Mirror and
the Sunday Pictorial with paper"
He said that in Newfoundland today
there many paper propositions"
quite as attractive. if properly de-
veloped, as that OF Lord Northcliffe and
his brother, Lord Rothermere.
There were also sufficient fish on
the Newfoundland banks and along the
Newfoundland and Labrador shores to
feed the whole Of the British empire.
They had only touched the fringe Of
that great fishing industry in which lay
the possibilities Of cheap food for Eng
land.
Lord Morris drew an attractive pic
ture Of wonderful mineral possibilities,
showing that Newfoundland was the
second largest producer Of iron in the
British empire. England soming first.
There was enough iron ore to supply
all the needs of the British empire and
of the world for the mex hundred
years.-London Mail.

1907 found its way into st. Andrews

Richie was also held personally re-

which might possibly be Occasioned by
the innovation he had attempted to

After being used for one Sunday,
the organ was closed by command OF
the Presbytery; and then the foods

and constructive capacity is that OF

When the new state Of Cuba was
established a 8 n OF the independent
republics Of the world. Leonard Wood
was emit by President Roosevelt tc
the Philippine Islands. where he per
formed . service similar to that Of
his high accomplishment in Cuba. II
wal q remarkable instance OF state
building. which following upon the
Cuban episode stands out as the great
est achievement any man has accom-
plished in the history Of dependent

Richard Olney. democrat, and at one
time Secretary Of State under Grover
Cleveland, wrote: - to con
graduate you personally on the mos
successful and deservedly successful
career whether soldier or public man
of any sort, that the Spanish War and
its consequences have brought to the
front"
At the end of his upbuilding work
In the Philippine Islands Leonard
Wood was called to Washington and
made Chief Of Staff OF the army
where he undertook the preparatory
work which later resulted in the
student officers camps and the bust
hess mems camps that ultimately pro
duced at the time Of the declaration
OF war with Germany approximately
10000 partially trained officers who
were made available for service with
the new army to be raised and sent
overseas.
At the end of his period as Chief
Of Staff. Leonard Wood was assigned
to command the Department OF the
East. He then had the opportunity
to put into active operation the Platts.
burgh camps. and afterward other
students camps throughout the coun
try. It was Leonard Woods initiative
alone that made these camps possible.
The first funds were raised by him
among his personal friends, and it is
the testimony Of these men that had
4 not been for his foresight, his in
..tiatiye and his forcefulness this
country would have been delayed
from six to twelve months before
getting actively into the war across
the seas. q delay which inevitably
would have proved fatal.
1t is perhaps possible that the
career OF Leonard Wood is better
known among the statesmen abroad.
or perhaps better appreciated than ii
is in this country. He has been &C
claimed as q statesmen by the stu.
dents OF contemporary history who
watched his great career as . civil
administrator and government builder
In Cuba and the Philippines.
Leonard Wood always chose the
best men possible to direct the diff

whether they were lawyers. engineers

| that good work can be accomplished
only by good workmen.
