Even before the Buropean war iroke out there were efforts underway 1 this country to develop a supply £ potash which would in part meet he needs of the country. Plants have jeen established to secure it from the elp beds of the Pacific coast, and ef- orts have been made for the past few rears’ to obtain it from the salt en- rusted valley known as Searles Jake a California. It has also been found hat a certain amount is obtainable rom the beet sugar residues, and here are also claims that it can be zeoversd from feldspar, but Germany and Austria have been this country’s sources of supply for industrial uses and largely for fertilizer purposes, and they have been closed by the war. Therefore if it is true, as reported, that there have been discovered in Cuba rich deposits of potash containing millions of tons, which is 25 per cent. pure, it means much both to that is- land and to this country for it assures an unlimited supply of a product that is in constant demand and which will break the monopoly which the central nations of Burope have held in this respect. This find can therefore be expected to cause much rejoicing in this part of the world since it means a greater independence from Europé and fur- nishes the opportunity for the devel- opment of the natural resources which are available and only awaiting utili- zation. STEADILY PUSHING AHEAD. Slowly, perhaps, but surely methodi- cally are ithe allled forces on the west- ern front moving ahead. Fach attack appears to yleld something whether the Germans look upen it as a defeat or just the giving of ground, which is of no particular value from a military standpoint, in order not to cause a needless sacrifice of lives. Since spring the British and French have been working for the capture of Ba- paume and Peronne. Throughout the offensive they have been steadily gaining ground and they have got- ten now to the point where they will soon be able to strike at the very ob- jects of their undertaking. There remain a few stumbling blocks buit they are fast being elimi- nated as is evidenced by this week's | gains on the Somme where new vil- lages have been captured, culminating with the occupation of Combles, the fortified point half way between the two objectives which it was impossi- ble for the Germans to hold under the combined pressure of the armies un- der Haig and Joffre, and the capture of that stronghold clears the way to the larger centers = which are so important to the Germans in the defense of that part of the front. The fall of even these two points would not of nevessity mean the breaking of the German line of de- fense but it would mean the retire- ment along 2 much greater line than any which has taken place for a long time and the organizing of new de- fenses towards which it is highly probable that steps have already been taken, * This is all a part of the game which the allies are playing and in which they are meeting with marked success. CANNOT OVERLOOK SAFETY. | Tt is an interesting claim which is likely to be made against the govern- i ment by the Eastern Steamship cor- | poration because of the wreck of Its eamer Bay State while on. its way ween Boston and Portland. The steamer went onto the rocks in fog- gy weather and it will probably be a total loss though no lives were lost. The claim of the steamship officials is that it was led off its course because the captain had mistaken a light and whistling buoy, which had been used temporarily to replace a lightship dur- ing repairs, for another one of a sim- ilar though not exactly the same type lat or near that same locality. The °d buoy is at Old Anthony while the temporary one ape Eliza beth, though flashing less frequently fand for a shorter duration Notice of the substitution of the buoy for the lightship had been and it was known to the officers but it the the location of 1ed to have ¢ ent onto the ion whis the < s e trouble on 12 occasion and it will be interesting to note what the findings are in view of the s 1ip company’s claims. If the government was lax in sub- stituting a buoy for a lightship where it could be confused with another it is time to find it out and the same holds true if the proper care was not exe; cised by the man at the wheel to dis- tinguish between the lights. There is too much at stake in such a case to vermit safety to be overlooked. EDITORIAL NOTES. Now that congress has been ad- Jjourned for a short time no one ap- bears to miss it. Unfortunate as it may be, the high cost of living only seems fo put an edge cn the appetite. There is nothing which changes the Istvle of wearing the hair like the opening of the football season. The man on the corner says: If man never made a fool of himself some people would think he was not hu- man. None of the schoolchildren are com- | plaining that ‘the last vacation was so long that they never want to see another. ‘With a little frost in the air, the t signal will be given for the open- ing of that most enjoyable griddle cake season. Some things Mr. Wilson would like to forget: The Lusitania, watchful waiting, the high cost of living and the Maine results. The coming of the cold weather promises to be the only thing which will bring sbout a reduction in the number of Sunday auto accidents. In view of the failure at Verdun there is little reason to suppose that the crown prince will be placed in charge of the German defense in the Somme region. £ It has been necessary to delay the issulng of the coins bearing the new designs. If they are not going to be any more popular than the “buffalo” nickel the effort might as ‘well be abandoned. While the agents of the Forwarding company are getting cold feet about the coming of the Bremen, there is one thing about it, New London has been getting some good advertising out of the talk. l That fellow who had the temerity to predict that the war would end this fall is probably busy now getting ready to put forth another guess as to what the American-Mexican confer- ence will amount to. It is now reported that General Pershing is slated for promotion. That he deserves it cannot be questioned but if ke had had his way tae cap- | ture of Villa would have been added | to®his accomplishments. “Dear Mamma: We got here all safe, papa and me, and we are having a dandy time. Papa caught four fish the very first day and 1 got one, “I wrote that far yesterday and didn’t get any further because it isn't very easy to find time to do anything but go fishing and swimming and go down to the village to get the mail Papa is so crazy to get mail, but we don’t get anything but your letters at all.

It’s all woods and the owls and things make a awful noise at night, when I holler at papa just to see if he hears therm, too. “1 wrote that part last week, and now there ain’t much more to say, eX- cept that I fell in yesterday and papa pulled me out and 1 got my gray pants all spoiled with mud. Papa said it was a close call, that is the way he said it, but I don't remember much about it, somehow. I ast him was there sharks here and he said I must not go out in the canoe unless he was along and he was some mad I guess. Anyhow, I get enough going in the canoe with him all day. He dom't much let me go anywhere alone, but I don't want to. “We lost the forks and two knives somewhere, but we can cut things with our pocket knives and eat with our fingers most everything, only, of course, not soup. That we got in the cars and we drink it. Papa he took an awful cold but now he don’t cough so much. “Today papa said I wasn't to tell about my falling in and bis having a cold, but I don’t guess I'll rub it out, because it makes the paper look so bad. Teacher said it was better to correct things on another part of the paper than to rub it out, so that's why 1 ain’t changing it. “Anyhow, we saw a hedgehog. Papa told me how to spell it. And last night it just came down rain in buckets, and papa had to get up and fix the tent. Part of it blew away ana he got soaked, so we had to go to the fishing cottage that they keep ready for storms, and in the morninz—this verything was soaked and we didn’t have much to eat left. “You'd have to lqugh at the bread that it sitting out to dry on the fence and the can was left open that had bacon in and now we can’t eat it. It was me left the can open and the wagon with new things to eat won't be here till two days. “I ain’t written a worfl in this for a awful long time. We got lots to eat now and the fish is biting again which they wasn't. A man came along about midnight last night and he scared me something awful. He was trying to steal papa’s-new hatchet and his coat. Papa woke up and grabbed a stick and made out like it was a gun and the man run. Papa says he don’t be- lieve there is a nother person round for twenty miles and he set traps for that robber with strings and he didn’t come back. So I guess he’s gone.now. “It turned awful cold and I most froze, but I got on ali my heavy things you stuck in. First off it was so hot we couldn’t scarcely breethe but we are gone to a new place now. We've been here a long time and we don't get mail only when the wagon comes that brings out the eats.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Conservation of Natural Resources. Mr. Editor: The conservation of natural resources has become one of the largest issues of our time. In the campaign of 1912, it formed one of the chief planks in the democratic plat- ford, and was_often endorsed in Mr. Wilson's speeches. His inaugural ad- dress committed him fuliy to sup- port it. For these reasons it is important to know what the Wilson administration has done. As ore man deeply inter- ested in conservation and familiar with the record, I am writing to lay it briefly before you. When he took office, Mr. Wilson ceased to say much on conservation, preferring to let the members of his cabinet speak for him. After his in- auguration, the friends of conserva- tion, regardless of partisanship, of- fered him their help in putting the con- servation poiicies through. The op- portunity invited action. The fight to save Alaska from the Guggenheims had created a living body of public opinion which lacked only official lead- ership to save what resources still re- mained in public hands. It seemed at first that President ‘Wilson would lead. At the outset the work of the Wil- on administration in conservation was good. Congress passed, and Mr. Wilson signed, the Alaska Railroad bill and the bill which assured gov- ernment cont¥ol of coal lands in Alas ka. These measures were excellent, and President Wilson deserves praise for their enactment. So he does for his veto of a bill to give away Na- tional Forest lands. Unfortunately these creditable in- stances form but little of the record. Politics came into control Thus a bill seeking to turn the national re- sources of Alaska over to a political Pcommission was repeatedly recom- mended by the administration throus the mouth of the secretary of the in- terfor. If passed it would have thrown Alaska into the hands of the special interests and established a policy al- most certain to destroy the national control of natural resourles eve where else as well. This measure were fortunately able to stop. When Wilson became president, the Reclamation Service, in its great work | of irrigating the arid lands of _ the West, was wholly free from politics. By the mouth of his Secretary of the Interfor Wilson advocated, and later signed. a bill which leaves the choice of lands to be reclaimed to a commit- tee of congress, and so makes politics dominate the service. Director Newell was the man who created the Reclamation Service. He made and kept it one of the most ef- ficient bureaus under the govern- men. The secretary of the interior forced him out, and replaced him by a commission in which politicians con- trol. The Newlands bill is a conservation measure which proposes to develop all | the resources of our inland water- waterpower, navigation, irri- jon, and domestic supply—for the pukblic benefit. Although Wilson rongly endorsed it during his cam- gn, as president he let it drop, and instead has signed two waterway bills of the old pork-barrel type, which are everything the Newlands bill is not. Waterpower is the most valuable resource still in public hands. There is undeveloped waterpower in our nav- igable streams equal to twice the pow- er of every kind now used in the Unit- ed States. It is a huge prize. For vears the waterpower interests have been fighting to seize it, and the con: servationists to save it for the peo- ple. A waterpower measure, the Adam- son bill, came before the house in 1914. It favored monopoly, and gave the special interests, for nothing, the public water power on _ navigable streams. Nevertheless Wilson en- dorsed fit. On its way through the house, the bad parts of the Adamson bill were stricken out, and the public rights were secured. Thereupon Wilson re- versed his previous stand, and en- dorsed the amended bill. This good bill then went to the senate, where it was shelved, and the indefergsible Shields bill was reported in its place. The Shields bill gives away the pub- lic waterpowers forever and for noth- Ing. Both Roosevelt and Taft vetoed bills drawn on the same principle. Yet, by another reversal, the Wilson ad- ministration got behind it, and when a widely circulated public appeal was made to the president for his help to defeat it, he refused. As to waterpower on the public lands, there is hut one reversal in- stead of two. Wilson first, by the mouth of a member of his cabinet, en- dorsed the Ferris bill, which was mainly good. It was replaced in the senate by the Myers bill, which is thoroughly bad. Among other things this bill actually throws the Grand Canyon, the greatest natural wonder of America, wide open to individual appropriation. Nevertheless, Wilson reversed himself in order to give it in the same way his endorsement. Both as to waterpowers on naviga- ble streams and on public lands, the last reversals leave the administration standing with the against the people. The Phelan oil land measure, would hand over to private individuals who have mo legal rights the valuable oil lands set aside as reserves for the navy. The pavy department has made public announcement that the merc threat of the Phelan bill's pass- age has caused it “to seriously con- sider the advisability of abandonins” special interests | " FOUR CHILDREN How Lydia E Pinkham'sVeg- etable Compound Kept Her Well and Strong.

Only oil burning ships can de- velop and maintain the high speeds required in modern war, and without them no navy can be even second class. The secretary of the interior actively supported this sufrender of national safety to private greed. The secretary of the navy and the attor- ney general opposed it. Wilson .~e- mained neutral and did nothing. Because Wilson refused to take sides, or took the wrong side, the question whether the people or the in- terests shall win or lose in the Shields [fand Myers wat€rpower bills and the Phelan oil bill ig still unsettled. These bills are still before congress, and will pass or fail at the coming session. The public waterpowers and the efficiency of the navy are at stake. There can be no compromise between the men who would grab the public resources for private profit, and those who would conserve them for the use of all the people. Either the interests will get them or the people will keep them. There is no middle ground. To sum up, as in many other mat- ters the promise made was not per- formed. Instead of progress in con- serving our resources, the last two vears have seen a bitter and often a losing fight to hold what we Had. Wilson talkked well, began to act well, and {hen, yielding to the political pressure of the special interests, went back on conservation. Sincerely yours, GIFFORD PINCHOT.

Theodore Roosevelt, epeaking in Maine, and Charles W. Fairbanks, ac- cepting the Republican nomination for the Vv presidency in Indianapolis, both stuck spikes into the Democratic campaign slogan that “President Wil- son has kept us out of war.” Colonel | Roosevelt branded the temporary oc- cupation of Vera Cruz as futil, dis- honorable warfare, ‘“entered into | pointlessly and abandoned ignobly,” to the vast damage of the Mexicans and ourselves. Mr. Fairbanks declared there has been real war in Mexico, due to our own aggression. In this connection it is fair and proper to think of Mexico in terms of other nations. Suppose Mexico had been as strong as almost any of the belligerents of Europe. Would the Cruz affair have menat war? The answer is that we would have been fighting in Mexico today in the full panoply of war, or we would have fought, come off victor and obtained peace earlier. The bald fact is_that the Mexicans and not President Wilson kept us out of war, if we concede that the inva- sion of Vera ICruz was not war. They kept us out because, being weak and torn with internal dissension, felt they could not afford to back. Due to this very weakness, they are keeping us cut of war today. There is no cause for national pride in the Vera Cruz expedition if the dministration was influenced partly in undertaking it by a strong pre- sumption that there would be no seri- ous striking back.
