In other words, outof a fortune of $10,000,000, the sum to be pald over to the com- bined governments, in the case of the different states, runs from $1,336,000 to $2,710,000.

After rapping. the army ' General Staff for suggesting as an expert body that citizen soldiers should be given a year of training, -instead of = six months, as proposed in the Cham- berlain bill, one of our professional friends winds up with: “Better wait, anyhow, to see how the orld Peace League is going to come out with its international con- gress, Its arbitration and disarma- ment.” * If the national tradition in military affairs is to be held sacred, then by all medans the country should wait. It waited until actual war to do any- thing in 1812, and was almost whipped out of its boots by a hand- ful of invaders. It waited until.Sum- ter wag fired on, and had to suppress rebellion at the cost of thousands of lives and billlons of treasure. It wait- again in 1898, and had fever camps for its reward, a huge debt and a pen- sion bill which grows constantly ever longer. For two years and a half ‘America has been most busily wait- ing.\ Talk we have had for bigger army, bigger navy, and the talk goes on. Plans without number have been' launched and the ship of state is in the same defenseless condition it was ‘before the blue prints were made.

Complaints ‘are heard on every hand of good and competent engineers who are lacking in the ability to make clear reports or-to state conditions so that intelligent laymen can under- stand them. They can work, but they can neither talk nor write, Some- times the development of a great un- dertaking depends wholly upon their ability to talk or to write, and here is where they fall down. So the demand | has become general for a larger meas- and consk- quently for more time to be devoted to engineering courses. More or less radical changes have been broposed in the courses, but it “is a question whether the solution can be found at all in that way.

Fifteen million ouncep of- -llm is one of South America’s annual ton- | tributions to the ‘world’s pocketbook. This would make more than 13,000,- 000 silver dollars. " Silver to the amount of over two billions 6¢ dollars has been ‘mined in famous “peak of silver” in Bolivia. The hills of South America are seamed with gold. It is found in every state. All this gold and silver could be studded with precious stones from Colombia. Seven hundred thousard carats of them are dug out of her hills annually. Almost all the emcralds in the world come from there. Our famous copper mines in Michi- san, Montana and Arizona are sur- passed In richness by those on the west coast of South America. _ Enough silver is mined with the copper of one Peruvian mine to pay all the expenses of the mining, of shipping the ore over the mountains |{snd up to North American smelters. It also pays the cost of smelting. The Bethlehem Stdel -Works . in Pennsylvania could be kept busy for seventy-five years with the iron ore of one of Chile's provinces, Coquimbo. More tin is mined in Bolivia than anywhere else in the world except the Federated Malay States, and only a few of the mines have .yet been opened. Although South America imports niost of her coal, there is enough tucked away in her mountains to sup: ply the needs of both Americds for ages to come. But there are no rail- ways to bring it out. Chile’s nitrates fertilize the flelds of the world and bring her an annual revenue in export duties.of over $15,- 000,000. The value of the .deposits ust be reckoned in ten figures. The Golden Calf.
