Federal authorities
Announce Potash Find

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 10
With a proposed tariff on potash
now before the United States Senate,
announcement has been made by the
United States Geological Survey of
the discovery OF potash in notable
amounts" in the great salt basin of
Texas. OIL well cuttings in Reagan
county disclose, according to the
announcement. potash salts at levels
between 1,150 and 1926 feet. The
announcement is cautious. 1t says:
These cuttings, while significant
as disclosing the presence Of potash.
do not furnish adequate information
as to either the precise thickness Of
the potash beds nor the richness Of
any considerable thickness Of salts
penetrated by the drill. Core drill
ing is needed to furnish definite in
formation"
In previously urging core drill
ings, the survey said:
Thorough tests with the core
drill are justified by the tremendous
importance to the whole United
States of the discovery of CONNER
cial deposits of potash in this re-
gion-a discovery of far greater
value than that OF an oil pool"

Gently wrote Of the Texas deposits
in a technical magazine:
"One thing we do know IS that
polyhalite (the principal potash
salt) has been laid down in massive
form and practically pure. and that
il seems reasonable to assume that
somewhere in the vast salt deposits
Of this region beds sufficiently thick
to be worked economically will be
found"
Previous announcements have
been made by the survey of rich
potash salts discovered in Loving
county. Midland county and Ector
county. Texas. Throughout this area
the geological formation is practic-
ally identical to that Of Germany In
the region of the Strassfurt potash
beds, with the exception that the
area covered by the Texas salt basin
is considerably greater.

regarding the enforcement of the re-

the Jewels and other treasures of

The greatest fear Of the authori-

Russian masses are deeply religious
and are almost completely under the

Hatism and Disarmament
CFrom the New York Tribune.)

the first $4,000 batch was retired
last week.
The source OF the persistent cam
paign to misrepresent France is not
yet revealed. Nevertheless there is
steady publication of statements
mainly not true. 1t seems part of a
plan to serve another by breaking
down the good repute OF France in
this country.
The reason for any slowness in
Europe demobilization that has
occurred are obvious. For the greater
part they do not suggest militarism.
Governments faced the problem OF
getting the soldiery back into indus
try. Unemployment was general.
II more were discharged than the
labor market could absorb It would
have cost almost as much to supply
food for relief as It did through a
commissary department. Naturally
the governments temporized.
The first thing to be done in Eu-
rope is not to demobilize soldiers,
but to mobilize industry. This is i'm
peded by the continual issue of fiat
money. Germany, for example, has
a deficit OF 10000. 100000 marks.
Before the German treasury gets re-
turns from a tax levy the cost of
what 1t buys is doubled and there is
a new deficit. Business finds II i'm /
possible to go ahead.
II is not so much the burdens OF 1
armament as the burdens OF flatism /
that weigh on Europe. AS an ex- /
pert, Senator Mccormick scarcely I

AVE AToUE VALE

From the University OF Delaware
Review.
It is not easy TO leave of. Our
departure marks a milestone which
is full Of meaning. Enthusiastic and
exuberant about year ago, we took
hold of the Review with all the
dreams OF youth. we saw an oppor-
tunity for service and achievement
Now, as we reach the end of the
trail and look back from the hilltop,
we find much amiss. Many times
have we failed OF our purpose. Many
are the problems which we over
looked or failed of accomplishment.
Many times have we erred in judg-
ment. As to what we have accom-.
plished we say nothing. If we have
made Delaware a bit better and
bit brighter. we are glad. Our mis-
takes have been of the head and
not of the heart. We have kept the
faith imposed in US TO the extent
of our ability and strength. We
leave off with appreciation OF our
own opportunity and full confidence
in our successors. Happy have been
the hours spent in working on the
Review for Delaware.
We are sincerely grateful to our
splendid friends in the student
body. the faculty. the board of trus-
