TO 00 WAR SERVICE
Every Branch of Industry Is
Asked to Form Committees
to Aid National Council.
MANY PROBLEMS ARISING
Demand Which OovcrnmeiU. Is Mak

in Its Extent.
WAMU.VGTON', Oct. . A general call
on American business to form war serv
ice committees in every branch of In
dustry to co-operate with the Hoy
eminent was made today by the Cham
her of Commerce of the United States.
The committee will absorb the functions
of the. industries committees of the
Council of .National Lefense, which will
be abolished under a reorgainzation
plan.
The war service committees will deal
directly with the defense council's war
industry board now negotiating CJov
eininent war purchases. They will as
sist in apportioning Government orders,
anil will aid in determining priority
matters. The defense council's indus
tries committees in most instances are
expected to be retained as the war serv
ice committees, and the only change
will be that members no longer will be
connected in any way with the tlov
truraem. t'auNf for Critielxin Removed.
The defense council's committee sys
tem has given cause for criticism in
that committee members, acting" as
Government advisers in making pur
chases, were often themselves sellers.
Under the new arrangement the war
service committee members will be
representing only industries.
The duties of the committees are
outlined, by the Chamber of Commerce
as follows: To assemble accurate in
formation with respect to the facili
ties of the industry and the possibili
ties of expansion or readjustment of
plants and equipment to meet Govern
ment requirements.
t'orti of Production to Be Lowered.
To arrange for the gathering of fig
tires as to costs ot production in in
dustry. To act", wjth the priority committee
of the war industries board, which is
establishing principles governing the
. distribution of materials in transpor
tation, and the order in which various
products are to be produced and dis
tributed. . - i
To meet with Government represent
atives to discuss questions affecting
the industry raised by the war.
Many I'roblemn Arlulng.
The Government's purchase of war
supplies, it is declared, is withdraw
ing so much material and labor from
established industry that many prob
lems are arising which can be met
only by serious study.
"Tho extent of the demand which
the Government is making on the in
dustrial resource's of the country is
indicated." the statement says, "by re
rent estimates that expenditure for the
first year of the war, including loans
to the allies, will amount to $21,000,-000.000,-
compared wirh estimates of
the gross alue of all business done
in the United States in 1916 ranging
from 540.000.000.000 to $S0. 000,000,000."
Long-Range Sea I'ighta.
Review of Reviews.
The fight in the North Sea began 12
miles away. When the Klucher was
struck, she was 10 miles from the Eng
lish enemy. When Von Spee and Cra
dock fought off Chile, they opened fire
at a distance of 12.000 yards: and Cra
dock had old-fashioned, obsolete ships.
If old-fashioned, obsolete ships open
fire at, 12.000 yards, what the super
dreadnoughts can do may be guessed.
What they can do, experts say frankly,
is throw a 2000-pound projectile - 25
miles with such accurate rangefinders
that the deflection will be only 20 yards
for six miles. In fact, the improvement
and change in naval equipment has
been so swift and revolutionary that
the life of a battleship has been rated
first rank for only five years. In speed,
in size, in armor-proof and big gun fire
the changes have come so fast since
1905 that the nations had either to
fight it out or cripple themselves fi
nancially building bigger and bigger
monsters of the sea: and. oddly enough,
the changes all date from a little
"cheese box on a floating saucepan,"
the Monitor of civil war. fame. From
the time the Monitor and the Merrimac
spat out their fire cracker shot at each
other, it has been a race among the
nations for speed, armor proof, big
guns and long range. Those best in
formed declare that the big- gun and
speed have rendered secondary both
armor proof and submarine: but these
are disputes that will be finally settled
in the present war. . .Neither side has
had any monopoly of courage. The
courage of both -sides has been mag
nificent almost terrible, Jjut speed and
the big gun have won.

he call of the Red Cross Superfluity
Shop and yesterday went in happy, en
thusiastic groups of twos, threes or a
dozen to add their gifts to the stores
that are the nucleus of the undertaking
which the committee hopes to make one
of the most successful enterprises ever
started in this city.
The shop is located at 106 Fifth

on Saturday. And so the Red Cross
folk hope that a goodly supply of arti
cles' will be on hand so that the sthop
may be a credit to the good cause that
inspired its founding.
Meantime some of the women are
busy washing the showcases, others are
arranging the donations and still oth

women. Adolphe Wolfe, of Lipman,
Wolfe & Co., went in yesterday and
offered his services. "The store will
be a success if this same fine spirit
continues." he prophesied, "and 1 am
sure that instead of diminishing it? will
grow as the public learns about this
shop." Mr. Wolfe will give the women
some "pointers" . in shopkeeplng. Other
prominent business men will lend their
aid and patronage. . Society women and
clubwomen and maids who will step
out -of the Blue Book will work as
"salesladies."
Some valuable old willowware . was
donated yesterday by Mrs. A. B. Mc

CIVIL WAR IS PROBABLE
' fContfnued From First laee.
traded country? Into what new
morass are the people being led? And
what w-ill be the-outcome of it all?
Frankly. I do not know. I do not
know anybody who does. The only
analogous situation In modern history
is that of the Poland of the 18th cen
tury. Poland had a government quite
as bad as that of the Russian Soviets,
or Council of Soldiers' and Workmen's
delegates. Instead of being an all
socialist affair Poland's parliament was
made up entirely of noblemen. These
men were so proud, so "free" In the
new Russia sense of the word that they
wouldn't yield on any question even to
a majority vote. A single dissenting
voice in their parliament was enough
to kill any measure.
Kingdom la Sliced I'p.
The people of Poland had no more
to say about government than the
middle class and the rich have in the
Russia of today. And when a European
war on a limited scale broke out and
Frederick the Great started the era of
f rightfulness which William the last
thought he could bring to a triumphant
conclusion, the three great eastern
powers of Europe Russia, Prussia and
Austria sliced up Poland and handed
each of the three monarchs a pi-ece.
Maria Theresa, who ruled the Austria
of that day, wanted it printed in the
records that she wept when she took
her piece, but she took -4t just the
same, and Poland has wept ever since.
This could happen to Russia. She
could be dismembered and handed
around. But this i not likely to hap
pen. The allies would never be jso

foolish or so cruel as to permit it to
happen. Russia- could fall apart -and
become an aggregation of small, sep
arate states, but each' one of those
would still have its Soviet, and conse
quently a government without stability
or permanence. Finland and the
Ukraine are two Russian states which
are trying to bring about this end,
and they may succeed, but a desiccated
Russia would furnish such good ma
terial for future wars that the allies
can hardly afford to consent to it.
Civil War roiblllj.
Civil war is a fine possibility in Rus
sia Just now, except that there seems
to be no one at hand to organize the
two forces. The strongest probability
Is more guerrilla warfare, more street
fighting, more motor trucks loaded
with machine guns rushing , up and
down Petrograd, more battle, murder
and sudden death, and then the re
action. Just what form the reaction
will take nobody knows. But the mad
Bolshevikl know tnat It is coming, and
they fear it. They call this inevitable
reaction the counter revolution, and
they excuse all their vagaries, their
obstinacy, their pig-headed resistance
to a coalition with non-socialists on
the ground that they are fighting the
counter revolution. 1 have heard Amer
icans in Russia, college professors,
business men, correspondents, even
members of American commissions,
say: "Don't blame these people too
much for their radicalism. They are
afraid they will lose all they gained
by the revolution. They fear the re
turn of autocracy."
I can say with all confidence that
whatever may happen in Russia there
is not even the remotest chance of any
counter revolution, in the sense meant
by the extremists, nor is there the
slightest risk of a return of autocracy.
The autocracy went down like a house
of cards, and the real surprise there
was in it for the Duma members who
deposed Nicholas was that the thing
was bq easy. I can imagine Miliukov,
Rodzianko and the others getting to
gether afterward and saying: "Why
on earth didn't we do this in August,
1914?"
Vnlted States AsMists.
I am deeply sorry to say that the
United States has unconsciously been a
contributor to this counter revolution
talk. Yesterday I told something about
the two kinds of exiles Russia had
called back to her bosom, and I want
to add to what I said about the soap
box orator variety.
In the boat in which I crossed the
Atlantic last May there were three
Russian men" who had spent" some
years in America and were on their
way back to Petrograd. These men
were not exiles, but they had found
Russia intolerable to live in and had
gone to America, which had been so
kind to them in a material way that
they were able to go back to Russia
in the first cabin of an ocean liner.
All three were pronounced pacifists
and one was a ready-made Bolshevik.
He was for the whole programme
separate peace, no annexations or con
tributions, no sharing tho government
with the Bourgeois, no compromise on
anything. A real Bolshevikl. And
made on the east side of New York.
This man used to talk to me on deck
and in the saloon about how the sol
diers" and workmen's delegates were
going to dictate terms of peace to the
allies and how the social revolution
was going to spread all over the world,
and especially all over America, and
then he would hasten to assure me
that he wasn't nearly as radical as
some of the Tavarishl I would ir.ee t in
Russia, and he wasn't.
Pacifists Are Arrested.
When we reached the Finnish fron
tier and stopped at Tornea for exami
nation I had the pleasure of seeing all
of these men taken into custody by
some remnant of authority existing in
the army and taken to Petrograd under
guard as men who had evaded military
duty. My friend declared that nothing
would ever induce him to put on a uni
form or to fight. Not he. And the
others rather less confidently echoed
his defiance. Finally one of them said:
"On the whole. I think I will enlist.
They need educated men at the front
to talk peace to them."
Thus at least one emissary of the
Kaiser was contributed to poor, bleed
ing Russia by the United States.
The soapbox exiles show where they
got some of their inspiration. "Don't
you believe that the United States is
in this war for democracy." shouted
one Nevsky Prospekt orator. "The
United States la just as imperialistic as
England. You oughta read what Lin
coln Steffens and John Reed wrote
about the United States and Mexico."
These men will do Russia all the
harm they can. and then they will come
back to America and do us all the harm
they can. If I had my way they would
go from Ellis Island, with all the rest
of their kind still remaining here, to
some kind of a devil's island In the
South Seas and be kept there until they
died.

by th latest drastic war measure of
the United stales.
An official mepsajre received by the
Foreign Office in Tokio from New
York says that President Wilson pro
claimed the prohibition of the ship
ment of fredd and silver coins, pold
and silver bullion, and all other kinds
of leal tenders of the I'nited States
for export purposes from September 10.
the only exception allowed beinir the
shipment of the poods specially licensed
by the Government.
The frrant of licenses for the ship
ment of frold and silver Is controlled
by Mr. McAdoo, Secretary of the
Treasury, with the advice of the Fed
eral Reserve Board.
In addition to this proclamation of
President Wilson it is stated by the
official message that it is observed in
New York tlmt the sharp increase
lately made in the remittances to
Japan, Mexico and Spain has principally
induced the Government of the I'nited
iHates to effect the drastic measure.
According: to press reports, continues
the official message, during: the five
weeks end-ed August 17 $7.1,000.000
worth of Kold was exported. The
amount represents 4 per cent of the
whole amount received by the United
States. At present the American pos
session of gold comes up to $3,000,000,
000, 40 per cent of which has been ac
quired since January, 1915. The total
gold acquired since the beginning of
this year Is $538,000,000 against $300.
000,000 exported, which is two times
the( total exports made last year.
Another advice received by the
Finance Department from its commis
sioner in New York states that the
National City Bank has issued a state
ment as a measure preventing the out
flow of gold from the States that the
silver hoardings. $495,000,000. now held
by the United States Treasxiry against
Its note issue valued at $474,000,000,
must be disposed of, some part being
exported to British India while bullions
are disposed of in some other way.
Japanese merchants and financiers
have been rather optimistic about this
important question, believing on the
basis of the cables received by the
Yokohama Specie Rank and the Mitsui
Bussan Kaisha that Japan and other
allied nations are not affected by the
new war measure of the United States
and when they were questioned as to
the effect of this measure' on Japan's
trade they were surprised. In their
opinion everything depends on the way
in which the American authorities han
dle the applications for the shipment
of bullion or coins, and pending the
announcement of the policy to be fol
lowed in that particular point it is con
sidered premature to discuss the matter.

tion to the literature on the extraction
of gasoline from natural gas.
The extraction of gasoline from nat
ural gas by compression and conden
sation has been an Important and rap
idly growing industry in recent jeara.
In 1915 about 65.000,000 gallons"were
produced by such methods, while in
191S the estimated production was 100.
000. 000 gallons. This gasoline is of
doubled importance in that it can be
blended with naphthas otherwise un
satisfactory for use in the automobile
and made into an acceptable motor
spirit.
The absorption process is quite dif
ferent from the older compression proc
ess, and heretofore has not been de
scribed in literature. It is a method
only recently commercially applied to
natural gas, yielding the same quality
of gasoline and capable of being ap
plied under conditions where the older
process could not be employed profit
ably. By it the gasoline in natural gas.
though extremely lean, can be absorbed
in oil, from which it is separated by
distillation. Natural gases yielding less
than one pint of gasoline from each
thousand cubic feet of the gas have
been treated with commercial success,
where formerly this gasoline had gone
to waste and had. constituted a source
of much trouble and expense in the
pipe lines.
In view of the present needs of gaso
line for war and industrial purposes
this additional quantity of gasoline,
heretofore a waste and source of ex
pense, is of tremendous importance and
may be considered as an excellent il
lustration of the results the bureau of
mines is obtaining in its investigations
for reducing wastes and increasing ef
ficiency in the petroleJm industry.
