DISCOVERY OK SOAP MINE AT BR0WNSB0R0 Development work In tho cinnabar district near Druwnsboro hus uncov ered a "soap mlno." It Is a mlnorul soap, and it resembles the old-fashioned, dark-yellow soap-bar that cor ner grocors years ago used to display bo prominently on tholr counters, in addition to that resemblance. It does the work that tho old-tlmo soap used t do with neatness nnd despatch and with less dninago to tho articles cleansed with It. This mineral soap has boen tried and found to pnrrorm tne service or focllvely. Thoro is a large deposit of It. Tho formation Is so unusual that mineralogists have so far been afraid to namo It; but It will bo annlyiod nnd properly catalogued In duo time. It apparently has a clay base. Its other elements are known to bo min eral, but, as a combination, they are a mystery. At all events, they make soap suds In combination with water and tnko dirt out of or from anything to which the suds may be applied In the usual blunder's way, MINERS ARE GRANTED" INCREASE IN WAGES r i . SALT LAKH t'lTY. June 29. The Utah Copper company and the Amer ican Smelting and Heflnlng company, voluntarily granted an increaso In wages today to nil employes of tho companies, effective July 1. At the mines nnd mills of the Vtnh Copper company more than tiOno men are affeoted and at Garfield and Mur ray amoltcra of tho smelting company bout J500 men aro af reeled by the Increase which will add approximate ly $50,000 monthly to tho payrolls of tho Bingham mines and the smelters. WHAT IT IT is often written that we are in war in behalf of dem ocracy, which means government of, by and for the people. Such government necessarily means justice, equality and brotherly love the higher civilization. If Christianity is the basis and inspiration of civilization, how can we avoid the proposition that we have declared a holy war? And when we study our war, we find that it actually requires tho strongest application of the attributes of Christianity, do we not? If so, the result must be Chris tian progress, a more general understanding of Christ's teachings and closer living up to them. Our winning in the war is not so much dependent upon our power to slaughter as our ability and willingness to help others. J he spirit that bloodthirstiness or greed, but of helpfulness. These Chris tian features of our cause and our policies make the war a holy one, and, logically, should result in a degree of spir itual regeneration. J or many years our great mammon, our women nave been worshipping the frivoli ties, and our youth the false gods of ephemeral and ener vating pleasures. The greatness of our men has been esti mated on their bank rolls, rather than their service. Moth erhood has been fading out as the sublime, holy mission of woman. Aw we have let a hundred fads and habits creep in to combat the leading of clean lives by our youth. Consent to the proposition that money might "is right has been spreading more and more widely, until we have about added to our other aristocracies the most vicious, most spiritually debasing of all plutocracy. lhere s more in our war democracy in JMiglawl or J'Tanec. There's our own dem ocracy, which is insidiously attacked from within. We cannot worship both God and Mammon. The autocracy of Mammon, fatal antithesis to such Christian attributes as equality, liberty and fraternity, threatens our form of government, our public institutions and our very firesides, and to combat it is holy. AVe will have in our army and navy Jews and gentiles, Catholics and Protestants, all denominations, most all the. races, and the common destroyer of all denominations, all races, is greed for money. Our war is not only to put down political autocracy abroad, but, in the methods to which we must resort, in the processes through which we must pros ecute affairs, it cannot fail to draw our denominations and our races closer together spiritually. The rich and the poor cannot bleed, sacrifice and mourn in common without closer brotherhood. The lines of blood-stained trenches will be remembered when the lines of creed and race are forgotten. In the hospitals shines clearest and strongest the great, truth that all men aro brothers. In great com mon peril, in great mutual suffering comes the unquestion able conviction that Christ was for all men. After nearly twenty centuries of Christian martyrdom, prayer, preaching and endeavor, the world is engaged iii the unholy occupation of slaughter. We are in the war that the things which mean Christianity in its broadest sense shall not perish from the earth, especially not from our own midst. Without hate or greed, we fight for the common brotherhood of the rich and poor among us, as well as of the victims of autocracy abroad. And it is a holy war. RUSK HALTED LONDON, June 20. The military correspondent of (lie Times c,ivcs n detailed account of the present con ditions of t lie Hl'ilish forces in Meso potamia, showing a complete contrast with the revelations in the rcyort on the Mesopotamia!! expedition made public Tuesday nhrht in (lie blue book. Tile correspondent says the army lhere now is ndmirabl.v provid ed for ami medical nrrnii.iretnents arc thorough v satisfactory. The writer says events in Hussin considerably influence the llritish position in Mcso)Htnmia nnd ill eon senuenee of the inaction of the Iius sian u rm v in the Caucasus the situ ation of Ociicral Maude, commander in chief, is radically i hanged. If the Itussiaii offensive under (icnernl Viulcv itch, cx-cnuiinnr.dcr in chief of the Caucasus, had been prosecuted, the Aucjo-lndiiin army would now form the left flank of the liusian line. (mmici'iiI Yiiilcvilt'h was remov ed and no offensive occurred. ALSATIANS CALL r.WilS, June 211. Major General IVrshiinr yesterday received n dele gation from the Alsace-Lorraine re publican committee. HctVrrinsr to the American coinmaiulcr's Alsace nii ccslrv, the ice-president, M. Slach lint!, told the general how proud they were that a descendant of their little country had come to I'iiiht for Hie triumph of their inalienable rights and the restoration to France of the lo-t provinces.

MEANS dominates us is not that of men have been worshipping than mere preservation of LONDON, June 21). Special dis patches from Kotterdani say it is in ferred llicre, in view of tho tfagginT of the (Ionium press, that something drastic lias happened or is about lo happen in Ocnnany. They quote the Frankfurter Zeitiine;, eoniplniniiif,' that it was compelled lo issue its political section until further notice without an independent expression of opinion and say the censorshiri now fur ox cecils anything- previous. The press is declared to be completely muzzled. It is said the rail secret of tho paper shortage is a government tuove to compel newsiiNrx to print such hare news allowed, excluding commentary matter. The belief is expressed in Holland that next week's Hireling of the Hcichstai; may produce startling developments.

The Yeoman of the Ouurd, or Beefeaters, as they are more familiarly known, who stand gourd in their costumes of black and red, over the tower of London, aro still talking' about their guests, the American sol'liers, who came over with Major (icneral Per shing. They were the first American troops ever quartered in the famous stronghold. During their five days' stay in London the udvancc guard of the American tinny slept at and mad6 friends in the place which Americans first think of as the spot where spies hre shot. Here, inside of the walls of the place which lias played such an im portant part in England's history, were gathered khaki-clad men from all parts of the United States, destin ed to bo the first of Ihe American army to participate in the European war. When these enlisted men redlining tired nnd hungry after a hard day's investigation of the beauties of Westminster und St. Puul's, passed over the bridge of the wide moat of the tower, Heefenters and members of the honorable artillery company stood at attention and saluted. Even Ihe sergeant-major, engrossed in drilling raw recruits in the dry moat underneath found time to call his "rookies" to salute the Americans. On one occasion when the Ameri cans came, tramping in singing the "Star-Spnnglcd Hnnncr," every Brit ish soldier within heating stood nnd saluted. Some, of the latter took up the strains of "God Save the King," und tho Americans saluted in turn. GREECE BREAKS WITH KAISER (Continued from page 1.) collected in the cages and more cap tives nro reported on the way back from the fighting front. A number of machine puns nlso nro reported taken. Tho fighting took place in nnd out among bits of ruined, buildings, col lieries, pit derricks and the Usual lit ter and paraphernalia of a mining settlement, only in this case the tan gle had been niacin greater by the shell firo of ninny months. The bombardment which preceded Ihe attack was carried out on a fair ly wide front and Was of but slightly less intensity than Hint which has preceded some of the greater actions on the llritish front. (Jornuins Itcpitlscd. PARIS, June 20. Picked German troops made a heavy attack lust night on the Verdun front near Mill :il)4 and Avoconrt wood, after especially se vere shelling. Today's official state ment sliys tlio attack was disorganiz ed by the sharp reply of the French artillery nnd that the Germans ob tained n footing at only n few points in the first line. This morning the Gennnns made another violent effort east of II 304. It failed completely. Tho Gennnns were active on the Aisnc trout also. All their attacks were repulsed. ('oriiiun lU'lHirt.

T WASHINGTON, June 29. Nation al Guard regiments will be sent for- wnrd to their divisional mobilization camns In the south Immediately after they have been drafted into the fed eral service. Heretofore it had been expected that because of lack of tents it might be necessary to keep many regiments at their home armories or state mobilization points for an in definite period. The exact date of the application of the draft to the guard is still under discussion. Present orders are that the divisions of the eastern section of tho country be drafted July 15; the central section July 25 and the west ern section August 5. It has been pointed out, however, that Inequali ties in' relntivo rank among national guard officers would result from this three increment plan and the war de partment is debating the advisability of postponing the application of the draft until August 5 and covering the entire guard at that tlmo In one op eration. CUT OUT BOOZE 10 INCREASE WASHINGTON, June 20. Elimin nte strong drink from tho coal pro ducing states, J, 1). A. Morrow of the Pittsburg Coal Producers' associa tion, told the senate interstate com merce committee today, and coal pro duction can be increased 25,000,0(10 tons a year with an adequate car supply. Alcoholic liquor is one of the .worst enemies of tho miners in western Pennsylvania, said Mr. Morrow. "It is impossible to get men to work more than a few days n week, even when the car supply )ennits.

For the first time during the war the weekly report of the Imperiul bank of Ger many shows a decrease in its gold reserve, which this week is 70,000,000 marks below the preceding week. In crements for a long time have been steudily declining, despito energetic propaganda appeals to surrender jewelry. The bank, heretofore, how ever, has been able, though often by the scantiest of margins, to avoid the humiliating acknowledgment that the growth paused entirely. This week's decrease is attributed scmij-officilly to renvy purchases abroad. The increase of tho gold re serve has long since censed to keep pace with the increase in noto circu lation. The bank several months ago was compelled to abandon the old le gal basis of gold and silver covering for paper circuution and supplement metallic covering by reckoning com mercial paper to make up the pre scribed one-third cover. With tho gold supply failing, de spite utmost efforts, financial au thorities of late devoted their chief energies to a campaign to restrain an increase in note circulation by pro moting the use of checks nnd hank transfers instead of cash. LONDON, June 29. According to a dispatch to the Times from Am sterdam, German specie from the Im perial Hank of Gcnnnny has been received there. The German gold has been consigned to several Dutch banks. The correspondent says it obviously is n small part of the Ger man debt to Ilnllnnd, chiefly for food stuff, nnd is the only practicable method of preventing further serious damage to the reputation of the Ger man mark. The morning newspnpers comment on the significance of the decrease in the returns of tho Imperial Ilnnk of Germany, saying thev have been fills-, ified throughout. They say that al though returns are never admitted, tho fact is that gold has been sent out of the country from time to time. The Times snys the real dif ficulty for Gcnnnny is whether the gold she sends abroad will ever come back. FOR RED CROSS AID .PETROGRAO, June 29.
