tion In the Chinese situation. '
Washington, June 16. Japan la
apparently sensitive and, somewhat
embittered because ths United States
government did not consult ' her
about ths Chinee situation, before
dispatching ths recent not urging
Chine, to settls her Internal differ
ences quickly.
Japan's claim of paramount inter

her to withhold a support to Ameri

EVERY LOYAL CITIZEH SHOULD
GIVE FOR THE RED CROSS
In this world wsr some must give their lives, others their money.
No patriot at home could bear to think that a patriot bled to death
on the battlefield because he or she failed to contribute hi dollar to
the Red Cross. You have no right to say you are patriotic unless
you give your utmost in service no matter whst It may Involve In
personal sacrifice.
Why doe the government not finance this relief work? The
question I often ssked. The American Red Cross is ranked as a neu- ,
tral. as long as It I maintained by private subscriptions. The ad
ministration of the Red Cross cannot be carried on a are the national
naval and military operation. Relief work, also, must cut red tape,
must he promptly ready for every emergency, must be governed by
humanitarian principle and quick decisions and must not be hamper
ed by the restriction of governmental machinery. At the same time
the Red Crou I the only relief agency formally authorised by the
government. It head I the president of the United States. Its ac
counts are audited by the war department. It Is chartered by con
gress President Wilson declares:
"A large, well organised and efficient Red Cross,!
essential. It 1 both a patriotic and humane service
that i rendered by every cltlten who become a
member of 4 he American Red Cross."
Red Cross subscriptions need not be paid all at one time. One
fourth will be due July 1; one-fourth, August 4: one-fourth, Sep
tember 1, and the balance, Octdber 1.
The Red Cross Is a part of ths fighting forces of the govern
ment and must be eupported a such. There are five branches the
army and navy, the munitions department, food control, the Liberty
bond and the Red Cross. Bach and every branch muBt be given
unflinching support it America Is to win this war.
The Red Cross hss actually turned the Issues of every war since
the Crimea. The ucces of the United State in this crisis depend
on the support given the Red Cross.
This support will be eaay enough to get when that support la
to late. Let the toll of one battle mount up a It often doe to
25,000 men or more. With the hospitals overcrowded snd our own
men dying for want of attention the response to the Red Cross call
will roll In fast enough but then It will be too late.
It' the personal appeal after all that count. If your ooy wss
woundod every dollar you have in the world would go willingly to
put him tp Red Cross hands. Ten million young men have registered
under the first drrt. In that nunvber some kinsmen or tome cloee
friend will undoubtedly be summoned to the colors. Who ran say
when I iv the next year or two these kinsmen or close friend will
have dire need tor Red Cross aid?
Giving too late Is the greatest danger confronting the nation
now. To nwike the Red Cross effective and ready tor any emergency
It I Imperative that the nation' rally Immediately to thta appeal for
' the Red Cross fund. And It should be a sincere response not
apologetic not perfunctory. Every loyal cltlten should give snd
give 'until It hurts.' The time to provide for our fighting boy Is
now nut when It t too late. We owe every dollar that we can
pare and some that we cannot spare to the lad who are going
aoroH ths water to do our fighting for u.
S REQUEST
Great Britain's refusal' to support
the United States' position Is pnssl
Ing suthoritles hers. The British of

LESS THAN ESTIMATE
Washington. June ' 16. Fewer
Oregon men will be conscripted than
was first estimated, according to
figures secured from the war de
partment today. Oregon enlistments
In the regular army April 1 to June
6, were 1,999. whereas Oregon's pro
portion of troops was 1,844. En
listments are credited to a state and
the excess of regular army volunteers
means just that many lea from Ore

Indispensable In any Industry are to

retaraed to Pranta Pass Friday night
from ths Waldo district whore thsy
had 1e observing the nUUrog op
erations at the Waldo and Quaes of
Bronx mines. They were accom
panied by Or. J. F. Roddy, one of
ths eommlasioaer of tha Oregon
bureau and fey A. H. GansteH, a min
ing engineer of this city. They
press themselves a pleased "with the)
activity In that district, the tonnago
of ore in eight, and the poaatbiUtiaa
for increased production In the fu
ture. .
The state and federal bureaus am
working In co-operation In securing
a practical and efficient concentration
of the copper ore of southern Ore
gon. ' .." . .-
There are n large number of cop
per properties In thin rsgion which
contain, veaid.ee the quarUy material
and. MFper sulphides, jaooh troa
snrphlda usually tn tSgJbrni of pyr
rhotlte. This iron salpmtds ban prac
tically the nam spadOe gravity ssv
the copper sulphide and therefor In.
any system of gravity concentration,
using Jigs and tables or vanners, will
(be Included In the concentrates. Met
allurgist Coghlll and three others
have been working at the Oregon
bureau's lsbratoriee on the ores
which are too low grade to ship
crude and are much pleased with tha
results so far obtained.
Two processes have feeen investl- -
gated: Magnetic separation and oil
flotation. The magnetic separation
process wss soon discarded as im
practical; on the other 'hand, the oil
flotation has so far given very flat
tering results. The advantage of
this process Is that specific gravity
of the minerals plays no part in the
separation, and therefore eliminates
the Iron very easily. For example.
tn ore containing S.I per cent copper
or about 10 per cent chalcopyrite SO
per cant insoluafbie and nearly CO
per cent pyrnhottte. more than three
fourth of the pyrrhotite was Hm
rnated, giving a concentrated assay
ing IB per cent copper with an ex
traction of 90 per cent. In a qnartsy
sulphide containing l.S per cent cop
per, a concentration of 11 tons to 1
waa obtained. Concentrate assayed
16.1 and the extraction amounted to
91.8 per cent The tailing contained
only .14 of one per cent copper.
The object of the trip wss to make '
a further study of the ore and to.
confer with the operators to plan
testa on n larger scale. It may fc
possible that these tests wHl be per
formed locally. The operators are
intensely Interested In the results
and state that It such a process can
be put into operation at their cop
per properties, It will enable (hem
to operate on a normal copper mar
