ARTIFICIAL GOLD
TEST IS STARTED
Scientists Confident Cheap Process
for Production Will Be
Found.
BY the Assnciate,l Press

ny Tue fSSpt'hteN1 f'reSS.
NEW YORK, November 14-Alchemy,
discredited science" of medieval times.
may be vindcated by experiments OF
American scientists. Under the direction
of the Scientific American, whose editor.
f. +. Free, is confident of success, expe-
riments have been started to determine
tn practicability of transmitting quick
silver into gold-a feat that Is said
to have been accomplished recently
at great expense by a German savant,
Prof. Adolph Miethe of Charlotten
burg Technical College, Berlin.
By Prof. Miethe's method 1t is
estimated a pound of gold worth
about $3.50 would cost more than
s2.000,000 to produce. Many scientists
are said to believe that this cost can
be reduced materially.
The modern alchemy" is based on
modern science, the experimenters
say. Gold has a planetary system of
79 lctrons, Will quicksilvr has
80. BY permanently knocking off"
the superfiuous electron with electric
current, 1t is believed pure gold will
result.
In the experiments now going for
ward at New York University, under
the supervision of Prof. H. II. Shell
don of the department of physics, an
effort will be made to discover the
conditions that control the transmu-
tation of mercury to gold and esti-
mate the cost of production.
1t is hoped 1T will be possible to
tell with some precision how long 1t
will be, il ever, before Cheap gold"
will make necessary a Encouragement

SHOWS PROMPT PAYMENT
lessons COST OF ARMY
Gen. Walker, Chief of Finance, Re-
ports Saving of $751; in
Year Through Discounts.

Through prompt payment of it's bills
for supplies and services during the
past fiscal year, the Army saved
$1S1,769 from commercial discounts,
according to the annual report of
Brig. Gen. KenZie w. Walker, chief
Of finance. At the close of the year,
he said, the department had 262 out
standing unpaid bills more than 80
days old, but these could not be paid
because of unsettled questions, such
as acceptance by proper authority of
the commodities procured or for lack
Of proper papers to support the claim
as required by the Treasury. Gen.
Walker viewed that situation as
showing the Army substantially on a
cash basis" more than 80 per cent of
possible commercial discounts on
Army purchases having been collected.
The thrift of Uncle Sans soldiers
is shown by the statement that the
number of active depositors in the
ranks June 80 last was 1880, and
the amounts remaining to their credit
,492, making the average amount
to the credit of each soldier $104. The
money value of allotments paid by
enlisted msn during the past year
was S779,348.

Toxic Liberal Party Leader
Says Method of Congress
Is Puzzling.
BY the Associated Press

PROVIDENCE, r. l., November IL
DIR. Yusuki Tsurumi. leader of the Lib
eral party in Japan. in a speech here
last night. discussing the Japanese ex
clusion act, said: THE right of the
clude Japanese was not questioned in
Japan, but the method by which the
exclusion act was passed had a tre-
mendous effect. This does not mean
that any intelligent Japanese wants to
wage war upon America on a purely
domestic matter. 1t does not mean that
any Intelligent japanese intends to boy
colt American products or attempt to
stif1e trade between the two countries.
There is, however, a large party
America to challenge the Japan ad
vance in commerce and industry in
Asia and which looks at every such
act as the exclusion bill as chal-
lenge to Japanese commercial and
Industrial supremacy in Asia.
Attitude Baaies.
ITO my Oriental mind. the attitude
Of Congress is explicable. 1t is very
difficult to explain to the narrow
minded Nationalist in Japan that the
exclusion act was not intended to
serve notice on Japanese that they
need expect no further international
cooperation. no further aid no fur
ther friendly leadership from Amer
lea. Japan kept faith in the friend
ship of America. but is it any wonder
that young Japan lost this faith? Old
Japan rules now, but young Japan
