the Battle of Adowa took place
the commanding general had re-
ceived orders relieving him of his
post and informing him that his
successor was on his way out from
the home country to assume COM
mand.
The relieved general, bitter and
Infatuated, decided to try to
achieve one spectacular victory in
order to confound those who had
taken his post from him. So he
rushed his troops madly into
Adowa and was slaughtered for
his foolhardiness.

SILVER AND TIN POSSIBILITIES.

While gold dominates the Alaska mining picture, the boost in the price of silver to 7757 cents an ounce and the recommendation of a Congressional committee that $175OOO be appropriated yearly for three years to look into tin deposits in the States and the Territory gives added impetus to mineral development in the North.
 Though Alaska is not a noted producer of either silver or tin, records reveal that over the period of years between 1880 and 1883 the Territory pro- duced S1259,641 worth of silver and from 1902 to 1893 total of s1O960OO in tin Not impressive but it does reveal the possibilities of mineral wealth that abounds here.
 The Hyder district probably leads in silver de- posts and development work carried there, until the white metal took such a decided slump, at an estimated cost of 50 cents ounce Now with silver at 7757 cents and possibilities of it going hgher-the silver plea being for S1 29- there is every indication that operations could be carried proftably Silver-lead deposits have also been worked a small scale in the Kantishna dictrict, north of the Alsska Range, but cost of transportation proved prohibtive especially when silver selling from 56 to 35 cents as it did from 1927 through 1933 In the Sustna Valley of West-Central Alaska about nine miles east of Chuitna station the Alaska Railroad, a unique deposit containing ruby silver was found five or six years Also in the Nixon Fork district of the Kuskokwm region galena deposits that carry silver, lead and gold have been discovered Of course, silver is found constantly in gold ore and as it's price goes upward silver naturally will tend toward giving further encouragement to gold mining.
 The principal where tin odes are known to be is York and Tin City on the Seward Peninsula Since 1902 tin has been taken out of that district the peak being reached in 1917 when Sl23,3o0 worth mined but a survey probably will show paying possibilities in other sections of the Territory With the United States dependent upon importation for tin it appears to be a logical move on the part of Congress to consider develop ment work along this line and if actually carried out will prove boon to the North well as con- tinenta United States
 Despite the fact that Alaska is famous as the land of gold, there other untold mineral resources here surveys of the past have shown. Higher price of silver undoubtedly will encourage endeavor along the line and if real effort is made to mine domestic tin there will be no difficulty in finding it in Alaska. The Geological Survey in it's findings on tin deposits says: Presumption of tin mining in Alaska when conditions of world business improve, be predicted with assurance" That report is based surveys the last 30 years and clearly reveals the fact that there is abundance of tin.
 Silver and tin mining may not become our great est industry but rising prices and development make the two of nestimable benefit to the Terri

StreSa.
(New York Herald Tribnnel

CNeW York Herald Tribune)
 The distant observer may find it hard to detect in the communique announcing the decisions of the Stresa conference those prodigies of success, so- darity and pacfication proclaimed by the statesmen who took part MT. Macdonald is glad that the conference ended successfully; M Laval feels that i've have maintained peace with much rifice, and the Duce is emphatic that the vigor- ous, watchful active solidarity of the three powers is such to secure the tranquility of Europe Yet if examines the communique one finds severe strctures upon German rearmament coupled with very clear indication that anything is to be done about it; a rededication to the various projects from the Locarno guaranties to the Eastern security pact-which have been going the rounds for months, yet nothing definite as to how any to be i'm pemented-and very little else. The British are painfully anxious to make it clear that they have accepted no new "commtments' Russia is not mentioned. There is the greatest vagueness upon the question of how France proposes to reconcile her obligations to the Little Entente with her ap- parent yielding to the Italian desire to permit Austria and Hungarian rearmament
 Particularly, there is no solution for the deepest dilemma of all-how harsh rejection of the Ger claim to military equality be combined with a system still theoretically based upon freewi German participation If Stresa seems, however to have settled all it's detailed problems by the old method of postponng them, it still leaves a strong impression that something has actually been accomplished. It appears to have gone far toward building a practicable bridge over which Europe may pass from the old Versailles system, based upon German impotence, to a new system frankly recognizing Germanys return to the status of an armed and equal great power
 This bridge is military solidarity among the former Entente powers If it has not, after all been enshrined in written treaties of alliance, it may be no less adequate to it's purpose, which is to make all the non-German great powers at least enough of each others support to permit them to adjust their policies to the situation without resort to panic preventive It seem- ed doubtful that without more definite commitment from Great Britain clearer definition of Franco Italian relations such bridge could be built strong enough to carry the weight. If Stresa has really done it is because all three powers realize that regardless. Of commitments. joint action would be, as in 1914, the only possible for each should an actual danger arise
 Thus may hope that StreSa will actually work to eliminate any immediate war danger It certainly has not solved the European problem But if 1t together with the elaborate negotiations which led up to it has provided for making the dangerous transition from the old system to the now inevitable new one, it has done much, even though 1t bequeaths to the future the inordinaely difficult task of conducting that new system, of which powerful and incalcuable Germany will be an established and permanent element

The greatest artillery duel in tht history of the world was in progres. from the North Sea to a point soutt of Ypres. Even the artillery ex- perts at the British military head quarters would not venture a guess as to the number of guns that were in use on both sides. Under the rain of shells from heavy guns and the constant explosion of German shells loaded with asphyxiating gas the fighting in Flanders continued at terrific speed.
